Right but they both look equally ridiculous, which is funny to most of us.
I think he’s a great skater fwiw.

If this is too controversial for the forum, mods feel free to delete but someone on Slap posted how Blondey’s dad’s law firm (and pretty sure Blondey’s dad) represented the Ukranian president Viktor Yanukovych (the president who was ousted after the Euromaiden protests in 2014 and who Russia might have lined up as next president of Ukraine should they take Kyiv).
From Private Eye:
When official action is taken against the kleptocracy, there are yet more fees to be earned from fighting it. For some London law firms, few pariahs are untouchable. One of the most active firms is Joseph Hage Aaronson. It has challenged European sanctions against state-controlled Russian gas company Rosneft, which effectively operates as an arm of the Putin regime; and against arguably the region’s greatest thief-in-offi ce, ousted Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovich, and his son.
The firm achieved a short-lived success in the latter case on the grounds that the EU had
not initially given sufficient reasons for sanctions, prompting partner Joe Hage to
claim that “the basis for the sanctions is flimsy”. The private palaces, complete with artworks, petting zoo and classic car collection – all on a state salary – suggested otherwise.

These replies to that thread represent my thinking fairly accurately I’d say:
Slap is a ridiculous forum but I’m glad it’s there for the laughs and latest shoe releases thread.

An old housemate once bought a case of Kirov Vodka. 12 bottles.
She’d sell it to us in the wee hours when we’d run out of party fuel.
It was awful. You sort of skipped the ‘being pissed’ part and just went straight to “hungover”.

Smirnoff vodka isn’t even owned by Russians anymore, some British firm bought it
Blondey is somehow the best dressed person in that lineup

Hes not really seen as a skater any more though is he, he’s primarily an artist/model right?
Certainly not made there
Can bet in his intro bio the hosts normally have there will be the taxi/car incident for ultimate cool points .

This is pretty car crash. A lot of people chatting absolute breeze. Fortunately for Blondey, he is barely in this first episode.

That was absolutely terrible, no idea why I watched it. I’m guessing it’s for 16 year olds so it can have a pass.
Fuck me it was bad and all of the gear they designed stunk too though.

Whats up with his Utter Accent! For the record, he does not talk like that naturally… all time low for ole Blodney
That was how he sounded in those podcasts he did right? What does he normally sound like?
His ‘eccentric dapper gentleman around old London Town’ schtick is really grating on me. Might have to unfollow.

He’s going to get into acting isn’t he.
