Meet The Staff: Corey “Coco” G.
You can’t leave the house without: (doing this…) reciting the Juggalo creed; “when I die show no pity, send my soul to juggalo city. Dig my grave six feet deep and put two matches by my feet. Put two hatchets on my chest and tell my homies I did my best.”
Wanna know more about “Coco” ? We know you do…

FNO: Sam and Jeff of Shipley & Halmos Let Loose
It doesn’t take much to make a girl swoon when it comes to clothes, but the way Sam and Jeff of Shipley & Halmos can combine sophisticated cuts with young, trendy fabrics is enough to make us weak in the knees every time a new shipment arrives. Not only are they some of the hottest designers on the shelves right now, but they’re funny and down to earth. Read our exclusive Q&A and you’ll be on the S&H Train too!!
If you were stranded on a deserted island, what is the one thing you take with you?
Sam Shipley: My acoustic guitar.
What’s your favorite food?
Jeff Halmos: Pizza!!
Quick! You’re in San Francisco for the day and you have to make the most of it… What three things would you do to make it a day you’ll never forget?
JH: Mexican food lunch in the Mission with my friend Josia, an afternoon in the Presidio, and karaoke + drinks with my sister Stef until LATE. Either that or a Snoop Dog concert – Catherine, that was awesome!
You are being portrayed in a Lifetime movie. What actor is playing you?
SS: Justin Beiber.

FNO: Up close, Naked, & Famous with Brandon Svarc
Here at Azalea we can’t get enough of Naked & Famous denim. Their quality and styles are hard to beat so it’s no wonder that when we met founder, Brandon Svarc, we were instantly smitten. After our exclusive Q&A sesh with him we know you will be too–two words: Whale’s Vagina.
If you had to listen to one band for the rest of your life, who would it be?
Definitely The Velvet Underground. VU is the predecessor to all punk and alternative music. Their music is brilliant because it is simple and raw, but also the best quality. (Just like our jeans!) Lou Reed’s lyrics are poetic and interesting and the feedback, distortion and noise music principles were way ahead of their time. I could listen to Sister Ray 10 times in a row… and that song is like 17 minutes long!
What’s your favorite condiment and why?
Mustard. It makes the best contrast color on the hot dog and looks neat like in the commercials!
Quick! You’re in San Francisco for ONE day and you have to make it count. What are three things you would do to make it a trip you’ll never forget?
1) Find the house from Full House
2) Find someone who has a medical m… oh wait, that’s gonna get me into trouble.
3) Scream “A Whale’s Vagina” from the top of a hill… oh wait, that’s San Diego… Nevermind.
What are your answers to the questions we asked Brandon? We’re dying to know!!
