Bossip: Let’s start from the jump; give the Bossip readers your name and activity please.
LM: I am Osa Odiase, the founder of Live Mechanics. We started Live Mechanics in 1999. I am originally by way of Nigeria and I have been in America for over 20 years.
Bossip: Where did you guys start?
LM: Well, we are not your average clothing company. We started on the underground London street scene, Melrose stores, and spots like that. We just grinded for 10 years with an ultimate vision. We are not a typical urban line who caters to the ‘thug mentality,’ no.
Bossip: What inspires this line?
LM: Unity among people of color. Don’t get me wrong. I sell my line through God’s vision, but practical and spiritual at the same time.
Bossip: How are you making it through this recession?
LM: Surrounding ourselves with good people and good employees. I tell the young brothers as soon as they are hired. You will need to further your education because it is important to educate yourself at all times. You want some of this shrimp taco?
Bossip: Naw, I’m good.
LM: Man, I’m telling you. These are the best tacos I ever had, and I am not Drake. One of my employees gave me one of these yesterday and I made him go get me four of them today. Here have one, I insist.
Bossip: Naw, your V.P. Raphael already got me some Teriyaki … the best ever?
LM: Yes, and I am not a fan of Mexican food.
Bossip: Me neither.
LM: Ok, well these are different. Here!
Bossip: Takes bite..(damn) Are these deep fried Shrimp tacos? Yeah, they taste good.<—- Insert 'NO HOMO‘ Disclosure Here
LM: Yeah, like I was saying. I came out here from England and have been grinding really hard ever since. It is my career and company, so I love doing what I do and helping out brothers along the way. Besides that, we have some sick denim, leather, and shirts for this winter. Live Mechanics is not what it was…
We feel obligated to support our good people with good intentions.
In a move that was apparently made to show the world he’s all grown up and into mature things like introspection and book writing, Diddy has published a book aptly named “Culo” – which means “Ass” for you illiterates out there. And just to make sure that those with severe ADD can also follow this, it doesn’t contain any words. Just pictures of the finest derrieres on the planet. Hey, I like a guy who can get right to the bottom of things. And as a sample, here’s Irina Shayk’s perfect ass lying in bed. This guy really gets me and my reading difficulties.
