Who is LAMFACE?

Even if you don’t know the infamous LAMFACE, you’re going to laugh your ass off reading his Top 5’s. He is after all, seriously one of the top 5 funniest people we know!

Most of the time, he can be a real dick but, that’s why we love him and he keeps our days amused here in HongMuthaFuckinKong!

LAMFACE is a global misfit. Having cut his teeth in editorial work, photography, running an indie music label and graphic design, he currently runs special marketing projects for an Italian fashion label. He loves Hong Kong way more than New York.

TOP 5 (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER)

TOP 5 FASHION BRANDS THAT GET IT

1. Ksubi - true nut-huggers but I love my dee dee rockers. Fun & interesting without being corny.

1. Supreme - I don’t even consider them a “streetwear” brand. They come correct every single time. Bad Brains collab!? Whaaat!

2. Visvim - will most likely cost you your first-born but the product speaks for itself. Unmatched craftsmanship. Hiroki’s vision is unique and genuine.

3. House of Cassette - If I had to have my closet be only ONE brand, it’d be all HOC.

4. J.Crew - Americana at its best. I’ve got pieces that I’ve owned for almost 10 years and just gets finer with age.

*Honorable Mentions: VANS, Comme Des Garcons, Adam Kimmel, Lola NYC, Kitsune, Surfside Slashers

TOP 5 PLACES TO STUFF YOUR FACE

1. Taipei Street Food in Ximending (Taiwan)

• Steamed dumplings, scallion pancakes, stinky tofu: a surprise at every street corner. It’s greasy, cheap and from the street. Just how i like my women. Just kidding, I don’t like them greasy.

1. Cheung Chau Seafood (Hong Kong)

• When you reach the dock, make a left along the harbor, walk for about 10 minutes, then you’ll see a section of tables with RED tablecloths. Sit down, roll up your sleeves, and proceed to add 10 lbs to your already downhill figure. Another plus, no cars on this pirate island!

1. Waffle House (Mainly Southern United States)

• I like my hash browns “scattered, smothered, and covered.” As that talented little gremlin Jermaine Dupri says, “”After the party it’s the Waffle House. If you’ve ever been here you know what I’m talkin about”.

1. Adalberto’s Mexican Food (Sacramento, California, United States)

• MUST get the “California Burrito” (carne asada steak, potato shavings, GUAC, shredded cheese, crisp tomatoes, mild salsa and FRENCH FRIES). I spent some time in Sacramento a few years back in between tours and me + the homies would just sit in the parking lot, drink and eat burritos for days.

1. Broadway Diner (Long Island, New York, United States)

• If you grew up on Long Island, you’d know how important your local diner is. It’s like Tsui Wah of Hong Kong, but each town has their own special diner. I’d go there late nights, trippin face, and order curly fries, covered in cheese, and a bowl of gravy to dip on the side. Disgusting? No, it’s like a warm bath on a cold day. Don’t judge me.

*Honorable mentions: Chipotle (US), Virgil’s BBQ (US), In N’ Out Burger (US), Kingsbury Seafood (HK)

TOP 5 THINGS THAT MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I’M TAKING CRAZY PILLS

1. People that dramatically swing their arms when they walk. Listen, you’re not gonna topple over if you don’t “windmill” as you walk. Plus, you ALWAYS hit me in the “privates” when I try to get around your slow ass. And then it becomes awkward/pleasurable for you and painful/pleasurable for me.

1. Excessive “Devil Horn” hand gestures. Take it easy, 666. Just don’t do it. And put your tongue back in your mouth. No one wants to see that.

2. Nonsensical English text on t-shirts. I saw a middle-aged mother holding her 5 year old kid, and her tank top read, “Sex, Drugs and Cocaine”. Oh, and the letters were highlighted in glitter. That’s downright Amezing!

3. tHis TyPe 0f WriTiNg iZ pUrE CraZy N’ SeEmZ LiK A LoT oF WuRk. JuS SaYiNnn. WhAtEv5.

4. Dudes holding purses. Don’t get me wrong, I understand you want to be a gentleman. But once you “purse” it full time (whether or not it’s necessary), you become a weird man accessory or “manccessory” - instead of her boyfriend.

*Honorable mentions: fake/overstressed English accents, Lan Kwai Fong after 9pm, Trucker Hats worn like a tiara, Ed Hardy fake tattoo sleeves (WTF!?)

Top 5 Let Me Holler

1. 55DSL TemporART Store in Hong Kong / Kingston St, Causeway Bay – Special In-store Installation by Turbokrapfen x The Bloody Beetroots - www.55DSL.com

1. 8FIVE2 Shop - HK people don’t realize how lucky they are to have this shop in their city. They’re pretty much the mold on how you should treat people, do business, and have fun. No other HK streetwear/skate shop has more respect and love from the international community than 8Five2. Everyone should be reppin Know1edge and Mata Hari. That’s real talk / show some support fools! - www.8five2.com

2. Theme Magazine - Run by creative power couple, John Lee and Jiae Kim. They have the most unique perspective on art / design / culture that you can’t get anywhere else. Cool, calm and respected. - www.thememagazine.com

1. Diesel:U:Music - Diesel’s music initiative that supports local artists on a global scale. Some brands half-heartedly do some music contest or have a cd player in their store but don’t really understand the underground music culture. D:U:M is created by music people for real artists. All expense paid world tour, music videos, and also the first fashion label to launch an official radio station (Diesel:U:Music radio in New York City) - www.dieselumusic.com
