Black, White, and Red Vanilla Junior SAMPLES!

Black, Yellow, and White Vanilla Junior SAMPLES!

Before you read this post please read carefully because we don’t want you guys to get confused..

Hey everyone it’s Little B-Ler here showing you all some Vanilla Junior SAMPLES! These are not releasing, these are samples but keep checking back to see if they will ever come out or if they will be scratched. But anyways these are the newest SAMPLES of the Vanilla Junior series. They are an all Patent Leather (Shiny Leather) covered boot with the same rubber bottom as the original Black and Red and the White and Pink Juniors. You know how just the red and the pink are shiny on the released Juniors, we decided to test out how a whole shiny boot will be like. I haven’t really seen any other boots like this, this is changing up the whole skating game, haha. So, if you catch me rockin’ a pair of these, don’t get too excited, lol. Also, Which color is your favorite? Would you buy these? What are your thoughts on these? Please give us some feedback on what you think about these because if we don’t receive your comments these may never release! Oh, and also which color way of the Vanilla Juniors is our favorite so far, the released ones or these ones? Let us know people. Well thats all for now, so remember VANILLA STYLE!

P.S. These boots are just samples!

Phunny Photos/Funny Fotos

Hey everyone B-Ler here showing you all odd and funny things I found around home and while traveling.

The first three pictures were taken in New Orleans, Louisiana and they are photos of this car that had a bunch of Disney characters on it and just a lot of different things, it was pretty cool.

The second photo was taken at an airport in California and the trash can said that you can only use that trash can if you buy something from that store and I just thought it was kind of ridiculous. So I just grabbed my little handy dandy iPhone and took a picture, ha.

The next photo is a picture of a shirt at this store called Shiek in Arizona and the catch phrase is from a song and it says “Gimme dat Becky.” The funny thing about that is that Tony was saying that all weekend and we actually almost bought it, haha.

The fourth picture is a photo of a two story high snow man that was by my house, but I actually didn’t take the photo, my friend did and sent it to me. That snowman actually stayed up for a long time and I actually wonder if it is still up, lol.

The next photo is a picture of a car in the Burger King parking lot by my house and their back windshield was literally covered with trash and garbage, it was a weird thing to see.

The sixth photo is a picture of a gas station near my house called Speed Way, and some of the letter lights were off and then sign spelled out ‘pee way’ and I thought that was pretty funny.

The last picture is a photo of a guy in Arizona and he looked like Waldo, he also had the glasses and the striped long sleeve, so I took the picture to prove that me and Lehrke found Waldo, lol.

Well thats all the Phunny Photos/Funny Fotos for now and I will make sure to try and keep finding new pictures for you all. So thats all for now, so remember VANILLA STYLE!

Good Ole Diamond Walker..

Yo Vanilla Heads, Brandon Perea here and today I have a new video on Diamond Walker for you all. Also, the up and coming videos will be posted by me, not Mike, haha. Well this is a video of Diamond ironing a good ole Vanilla shirt and talking about random stuff half way through Summer Jam. During the time Diamond pulled something in his back and when his back healed, mine got injured in the same exact spot! It was weird and I was out of the skating game for about a month. Diamond also talks about that a Vanilla friend, Sam Cleveland, needs a his own sitcom/TV show and I totally agree with that, lol. That would probably one of the funniest shows ever, maybe as funny as Jersey Shore, ha. Well watch the video and give us some feedback on what you think and keep checking back for the new videos. Thats all for now, so remember VANILLA STYLE!

Woops!

Hey everyone, Brandon here, my bad I forgot to post in yesterdays post my new hats that I got while I was Arizona. Alright since I forgot to post my new hats I just decided to put up my hat collection. Every hat is a New Era fitted one. I also posted a separated picture of the hats I got while I was out in Arizona. If you look at the collection picture, on the bottom right corner of the picture is the Big Black hat and I got that because I was going to meet Big Black at a Mall. I didn’t get to meet Big Black, but I met and got a signature from his buddy Big Zeus, as you can see, and they are both on the show Rob and Big. But I take it that you all already know that, lol. As for the 2 hats I got in Arizona, I got the brick red one with the “W” on it to match these Nike’s I have, Blood Splat Blazers. The other hat I got was the one I got from Tony, I got that hat and 40 bucks for my Nike’s. That Crooks and Castles hat was previously Tony Tran’s hat from Kaba Modern and Tony got it from him on ABDC and now it’s mine,  ;). And that is all for now, so remember VANILLA STYLE!

Here’s the 6.0′s!

Yo, yo, yo everyone little B-Ler here showing you all the Nike 6.0′s I got. They are both the same models, the Nike 6.o Mogan Mid. The black, grey, and white ones are a size 8 and the white, black, and grey ones are a size 9. I usually buy size 8s but the smallest size they had in the white and black ones were a 9 and that’s the smallest size I have ever found them at. Don’t you guys think that having 20 something Nikes (only the Nikes) is getting ridiculous, haha, I’m addicted to Nikes ha. But I got these two shoes for riding because my current ones are getting beat up ha. Well that’s all for now guys, so remember VANILLA STYLE!

P.S. Help me to stop this Nike addiction! lol

BLer’s Favorite Videos!

Yo, yo, yo everyone Brandon Perea here with another BLer’s Favorite Videos post. Today I have for you a Summer Jam 2008 video, the one before the most recent Summer Jam. I chose this as one of my favorite videos because there is so much funny stuff in here. For example, the slide with the skate was dope, too bad we didn’t do that at 2009 Summer Jam. This video was posted before I was on Vanilla and I remember watching for the first time and I wished I could have been there for how much fun it looked ha. I wonder which Summer Jam was better, 2008 or 2009? We might just have to ask Tony, Diamond, and Alex! Another thing I loved was how they treated that Riedell, what do you guys have to say about that?! lol. Well stay tuned for more of BLer’s Favorite Videos and always remember VANILLA STYLE!

Tucson, AZ

Hey everyone, it’s Brandon Perea here telling you all about Vanilla’s show in Tucson, AZ this past weekend. Well first off we had turbulence, mine was weak but I guess Tony and Diamond’s flight almost did a flip for how bad their turbulence was, haha. It wasn’t funny to them though, lol. Also, while we were out there I went to the mall and got a few things, the usual ha. Speaking of shopping, Tony and I actually made a trade out there. I gave him my Nike SB Wet floors for his Crooks and Castles hat that used to be Tony Tran’s from Kaba Modern and he also gave me 40 bucks. That 40 didn’t last too long, haha.  The things I got from the mall was a brick red hat to match a pair of shoes I have, rogue status gun show hoodie, and 2 pairs of Nike 6.0′s for riding. Tony got a new fedora, black puma suedes, and 2 new winter hats. Diamond, on the other hand, just stayed at the hotel and slept, I mean that is one of his specialties. Another thing about the trip is that it was very windy and there was a pretty bad storm. To me it wasn’t that bad but to the people that lived there it was horrible because its rare for them to have a storm like that. A tornado actually happened in Phoenix, AZ while we were there but that’s about 2 hours away from Tucson, so we were safe. But on a good note the Friday session turned out great. Lots of people were there and a lot of them were rocking the black and red Vanilla Juniors,  ;). So, I think it’s time you get yourself a pair, lol. So yeah the Friday Jam Camp also turned out to be great also; there was about 50-60 people there, the most we have ever had. Saturday, the day of the show also was a great turn out, a bunch of people were there and the crowd was amazing. They got us so hyped to skate hard during the show and it was awesome. During the Saturday Jam Camp there was even a bigger turn out than Fridays, it was crazy. Also, there was a Jam competition that day and the winner won a free pair of Vanillas. The winner was this skater named Nick, I think were sending him out some Curves to get him off of his Riedell Carreras, hahah. Then, on the last day, Sunday, we went over to the Rink Owner of Skate Country, Bob’s house. A bunch of the rink employees were there and we all scarfed down Bob’s famous ribs. While we were eating a gourmet meal, we watched the Colts vs the Jets and the Colts took it. We missed the Saints vs the Vikings, but I found out the Saints won while I was on my flight. Tony and Diamond were pretty disappointed they missed it, but at least Tony’s team, the Saints, took the win. And that’s about all the interesting stuff that happened on our trip, so remember VANILLA STYLE!
