Snoop Dogg Styled


American rapper Snoop Dogg and a gorgeous companion were the cover subjects of L’UOMO Vogue this past December, and looking relatively unrapper-like in two of the photos.


Thereby demonstrating that a borzoi and a walking stick go a long way towards improving the style of a would-be boulevardier.

Will, you say he look unrapper like in two of the photos. Can I infer he looked very rapper like in the remaining photos? I rather like the auto he's standing in front of, as well. I can't seem to come up with the make, though. Looks like I have a challenge for the day.

Very interesting, Will. I like the outfit on the dog on the right; can't say the same thing about the baleful-looking fellow on the left. BTW, what in the world is a 'rapper,' anyway? What the deuce?! This is new to me. I would like to prevail upon you, if you don't mind, to provide additional details for those of your readers who are unfamiliar with popular American culture.

For the gentleman who was asking about "rapper":

Will, I just about choked on my cereal when I saw Snoop Dogg in your feed. Even though I'm not a big fan of his style here, I'm even more impressed that a classy guy like you can keep an open mind.

Represent!

Laguna Beach Trad said...

Thank you, Susan. Looking at the pictures, I can't help but think how lucky the owners of that beautiful house must feel. They will be able to identify this up-to-no-gooder to the police, now that they have not one but TWO photos of him with their property and wearing their clothes.

I can't help but see a likeness to President Lincoln. They are of similar height, build(or lack of it), and have the same the high cheekbones.

Turling said...

Trad, quite elegantly put. I must admit, I will be chuckling to that comment for quite some time. Bravo.

John said...

Yes, Trad is rather funny. No matter how wealthy Snoop Dog might be, the subject just doesn't seem to go with the furniture.

Stephen, interesting comparison with Abe Lincoln. I was thinking along the lines of JJ from Good Times. Dyn-o-mite!

While I disagree with many things Snoop does, I find the decorum unmerited and immature. I applaud you for adding “color” to your articles & for not encouraging further pungent remarks.

Turling said...

smii, Mr. Dogg's claim to fame is that he "sings" about killing cops, committing crimes and degrading women. I think a few tongue-in-cheek comments about his attempt at looking sophisticated aren't going to hurt his reputation any. But, thank you, for the lecture.

laguna beach... if this house is not Snoop Dogg's, it's very much just like one of his that was shown on an expo of him. He's a rapper, however his tastes in house and cars are truly refined. I certainly am not a fan of him still.
That is so arrogant of you to assume that he doesn't own the place.
