BAPE HOODIE CHARACTER GENERATOR
0
I found this cool flash program that lets you see some different BAPE hoodie styles. There are 14 styles in total to select from. Click on the H, and C buttons in the bottom left to zoom in on the face. Use the circles along the bottom left to select different styles. Once you have selected a style, you can mouse over the character and it will display the name of the hoodie style. Also, the background music can be changed by clicking on the animated BAPE wording to the left of the hoodie character.
I am working on a BAPE character creator and will add features for with or without the hoodie.
Click the flashing red Baby Milo head below to continue.
If you have any suggestions or comments for the BAPE character designer that I am working on, please leave a comment.
BABY Milo CubeCraft Figure

Hey everyone,
There is a cool site called CubeCraft which has figures you can make by cutting out a design on paper and folding on the marked lines. It isn’t like origami which uses many folds sometimes. Instead you make the body parts as separate pieces and then put it all together at the end.
Below is a Baby Milo cube craft figure. (Click on the thumbnail to get the full size print out.)

BAPE Cafe

If your in Japan and looking for somehwere to eat, why not check out the BAPE Cafe. Located in Tokyo the BAPE Cafe has a nice menu and is a good place to relax.
Since it is a cafe, it has more deserts and drinks then main course food. You can still get a cheeseburger though. They also have curry, fried chicken, sauteed tuna, and green salad.

Happy Birthday A Bathing Ape. BAPE is now 15 years old and still going strong. Over the years the company has grown a lot and has expanded into the U.S.A., Europe, and China. If they continue to grow, one day there might be a BAPE store located in Canada (hopefully).

With A Bathing Ape celebrating its 15th birthday this month, Pharrell’s BFF reveals five contradictions from the planet of the Bapes.
1 We used to sell to something like 40 different stores in Japan… But around 1998, I decided to just cut back to our one store in Tokyo. It didn’t take long until the sales from one store were as good as when we sold throughout the country. That made me realize that this was something bigger than I had imagined.
2 I don’t think our clothes are so expensive; we make things in a very similar system to high-fashion designers… But we are interested in casual clothes. People get our jeans, tees and sweats confused with mass-produced consumer items. We respect the spirit of what we want to do over financial considerations—that’s consistent with our motto, I think.
3 I sort of fell out of touch with hip-hop… But the thing that got me enthusiastic about it again in the late ’90s was the South, especially Cash Money. So, Little Wayne wearing the clothes I had made was amazing. I am very pleased if he is known for wearing Bape.
4 I have a girlfriend, and we have been together for about three years. She is a well-known actress in Japan [Riho Makise], and people are aware of the relationship… But she has her own career, and I don’t want to interfere in that. So, there is a conscious decision to avoid being seen together in public too often.
5 I never read blogs. So, I don’t even hear the criticism about us doing Nike take-offs. I’d like to say that other brands doing Bape knockoffs shows that the brand is recognized and desired… But in reality, it’s really annoying to have to deal with it.
