Dallas took sum time to lace us with a little Q & A for the blog peeps....ENJOY!
JC. What’s your favorite Michael Jackson song?
DS. My favorite Michael Jackson song is actually a Jackson 5 song, "Let me show you."
JC. Out of Michael Jackson’s ten great albums, which two do you think are his best?
DS. My two favorite all time Michael Jackson albums are Dangerous and Thriller.
JC. Do you think shoes should be part of the healthcare stimulus package?
DS. I'm just happy there is a healthcare stimulus package! I hope the health care reform is effectively executed so people can take care of their families. If we get a few shoes tossed in there I'm down!
JC. Would your company ever do a collabo with AIG or Bernie Madoff?
DS. Fuck Bernie Madoff!!! and fuck A.I.G!!!! If we ever did a collabo with him I'd set up a sweat shop in his sell and make him hand stitch the faces of all his victims to the tongues of the shoes.
JC. What character from a movie best personifies you as a designer?
DS. The character from a movie that best personifies me as a designer is Whistler from the Blade movies. I got a job to do and I just gotta get it done.
JC. If another man asks you to go anywhere other than a game or a bar is it considered a man-date?
DS. I go anywhere with my boys as long as I'm comfortable. I'm not sure of what the whole concept of bromances and man dates are all about. Weather your gay, lesbian, metro, straight or just plain Dennis Rodman confused if your my boy, I'm rollin.
JC. Mohawks, thumbs up or thumbs down?
DS. I just cut my mohawk off and my kids miss it so I have to grow it back.
JC. In your opinion, what’s the worst fashion trend ever?
DS. The worst fashion trend ever is retro!!! I think retro destroys creativity and bores the hell out of me. I respect and remember the past but I never wanna go back!!!
JC. With Allen Iverson aka A.I. out of work do you think he and New York (Flavor of Love) will join up and get a reality show on VH1? If so, what would you call it?
DS. VH1 cant do that show because I'm more than sure that ignorant ass BET copped the rights for that show last week!!!
JC. Who do you think would find a job quicker A.I. or New York?
DS. If i knew the Answer at that "Question" (pun intended) I'd probably be running BET. Honestly... who cares. I'd rather see streetball legend Future in the NBA and Meagan Good with a reality show.
JC. With Abe Lincoln on the penny, which do you think Obama will appear on, the lottery ticket or the food stamp or the Hood of a GM to sell more cars?
DS. I think they will give Obama the $2 dollar bill.
JC. Which is more acceptable, walking around with a kid leash or getting a public ass kicking?
DS. Kids that know they will get there ass bat in public for screwing up dont need a leash.
JC. What was your favorite toy or cartoon from back in the day?
DS. I still have my favorite toy from back in the day, Voltron!!!
JC. Most ridiculous hip-hop trend of all time?
DS. The most ridiculous hip-hop trend of all time was ring tone rappers!!! I dont even listen to rap no more!!!
JC. REALLY??? LOL
DS. unless its from Wayne, Good Music, or Jay-Z.
JC. Ok fair enough, What would be something that your friends don’t know about you?
DS. Something my friends dont know about me? I dont get laid as much as people think I do. And I love NASCAR!!!
