Michael Jackson and his RollingStone moments

Last week, we have reported Michael Jackson’s shocking death, as well as the Google and Twitter downtime caused by the the amount of traffic after the announcement of his death, in our news blog. Indeed, the response is just overwhelming all over the net, something you can only expect in an event such as this. Michael Jackson will definitely be missed, and you can only assume that the tributes and the mourning will continue on for a couple more months.

You know how it is when someone was successful in leaving a mark in other people’s lives. His physical body may have passed away, but his music lives on.

As for RollingStone, they can always take pride in how their magazine covers have become, not merely collectors’ items, but a testament to Michael Jackson’s legendary existence.

Here’ are some of the classic RollingStone magazine covers that had Michael Jackson’s unforgettable face on them. The RollingStone website right now also launched a special Michael Jackson coverage, which includes their very own MJ cover stories and album reviews through the years.

It may be a time of deep mourning for us all, MJ fans and music-lovers alike, but essentially, now is also a time of celebration and reminiscing, for Michael Jackson’s controversial but very inpiring life, and how music and the world will never be the same again because he lived.

Coty made a list of 15 amazing Michael Jackson-inspired shirts. While we don’t have any MJ shirts in our catalog at the moment, House of the Gods has got some of the best shirt designs in great tradition of music and rock & roll, including The Rolling Stones, Blondie, Guns and Roses, Aerosmith, Kylie, Britney Spears, U2, Pink Floyd, Roxy Music, David Bowie, The Police and many more.

Belting It Out

Belts. Where would our pants be without them? Probably all the way down around our ankles. These simple yet useful accessories make it possible for us to walk down the street without inadvertently exposing ourselves. Okay, perhaps that was an exaggeration. But it’s not entirely impossible, right?

Belts are one of the most common accessories that people wear. Ever wondered when they came about? No? Well we’ll tell you anyway.

Belts have been around since as early as the Bronze Age. That’s right – a really, really long time ago. In modern times, before the 1920s, belts were mostly decorative and associated with the military.

Here at Brand Neusense, our favourite type of belt is the web belt. Since it has no holes, it is extremely flexible and can fit practically any waist – especially great for those with unpredictable waistlines (we won’t name names, though).

Check out our top picks: Slim OTW Web Belt Vans - Black/ Gravel, Slim OTW Web Belt Vans - White/Black, Favorite Web Belt Vans - Black/Pink/Green.

Oh and although these belts can be shared by people with different waist measurements, we highly recommend that you don’t let anyone else wear yours, as you will most likely not get them back. Don’t say we didn’t warn ya!

No Gift? No Problem!

More often than not, you’re a good girlfriend. You never forget birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions… But what if one day, you did? It’s your boyfriend’s birthday in a couple of days and you haven’t gotten anything for him yet! Gasp! What to do?

Don’t panic and get him the Keyrific Wallet Giftset White/Black from Vans. It includes a bandana, a bi-fold wallet, and an exclusive Sk8-Hi keychain. Also, all three items in the set are covered in Vans’ ever popular cool black and white checkerboard pattern.

The Keyrific Wallet Giftset White/Black isn’t just an emergency gift suggestion. Even if you haven’t forgotten your boyfriend’s birthday and have been counting down to it for weeks, the Keyrific Wallet Giftset White/Black still makes an awesome present. Your boyfriend would agree.

Heads Up!

Hats are simple little things. Just put it on top of your head and you’re done. No buttoning, no zipping, no lacing. Even a monkey can wear one.

Hats, though simple, are very useful. They can cover a receding hairline, keep your head warm, hide a bad hair day, complete a cool outfit, and so on.

Whatever your reason for wearing a hat, Vans has something for your head. Check these out: Glassie Beanie Vans - Black, Mini Check Reversible Beanie Vans - Black/ Charcoal, What We Do Hat Vans - Black/ New Charcoal, Snow Hearts Beanie Vans - Winter White.
