Mr. T & The Feathered Mohawk

I have abruptly disengaged my vehicle to a halt.  Currently, I'm at a 4 way stop when it comes to the title of this post.  Here's what I got brewing:

1. Peter Pan's Rodeo
2. My T and His Feathered Mohawk
3. Who's Behind That Comb Over Called Bangs?
4. Prints-a-Plenty

Eli & Casey tag teamed this photo shoot.  When you get specific instructions from your freshly turned 5 year old to "quit slouching" you know it's time to double up on the calcium intake.

Let's rap here, shall we?

Broach:

• KILLER COOL.  
• Totally looks like a family heirloom.

The Peter Pan in me immensely enjoyed this ensemble.  All day long I felt like Eli & the Face were my Lost Boys.

Mixing prints and layering on offset colors schemes is all kinds of happenin' in the fashion world.

Take it from me, Mr. T.

Well, would you look at that?  My vehicle just found itself in drive.
