What's in The Based Update's Mailbox ft. Pink Dolphin Clothing

What's in The Based Update's Mailbox ft. Pink Dolphin Clothing
Oh yes! We got our seventh "What's in The Based Update's Mailbox?" feature! Who dosen't like getting mail, especially when its clothing? Today we got a small, express, discounted package with two hats from Pink Dolphin Clothing! Shouts out to Cena! Continue below to see the review!

This review is a little different then the normal. This is what I will call an EXPRESS review because it isn't what past reviews are. This is quick and to the point.

Hat 1 Waves Strapback in Reverse Denim

This hat and all Pink Dolphin hats are perfect quality and they fit how they should. This hat does not have that weird fit that some hats do, so do not worry about that. This is also the first Strapback hat I own and its pretty damn legit! Fits just like snapbacks do! Sorry to say that this hat has already sold out, but if you are lucky there may be a restock, but its not certain.



Hat 2 Flag Snapback in Aqua

This hat, like previous and all Pink Dolphin hats are perfect quality, they fit how they should, and like I mentioned legit. I am a snapback hat guy so you can take my word on it. This fits the simple yet flashy trend that Pink Dolphin continuously follows so you will stand out with it, especially with more Pink Dolphin gear on to match. This hat is still available at their store!



Final Word
Pink Dolphin is still one of my favorite lines and I will continue to support it especially when I support the master behind the line, Cena. I've been around the brand since day one so I have heard all the positives and negatives that come with this line. The one negative thing I constantly hear about is the price, for example these hats being $45 a piece and hoodies being $75. This brand is definitely pricey, but I can tell you that you will not be disappointed with you're purchase.

Pink Dolphin Limited Edition Tie-Dye Hoodies

Pink Dolphin Limited Edition Tie-Dye Hoodies
Pink Dolphin Clothing is at it again with another Limited edition release. This time around it is not a hat, or a shirt.... its a hoodie! This hoodie is extra legit and very limited so if you got the extra cash and can fork up the asking price of $110 then you should definitely purchase it.

Winners of the 2011 National Geographic Photo Contest


The end of the year brings more than just remorse, diminishing bank accounts and dull family gatherings. The start of a new year has us looking back in retrospect, listing a number of “the best of” categories, including music, sports moments, and even photography. National Geographic had the demanding task to review more than 20,000 submissions from over 130 countries for its Best of 2011 Photo Contest. With subjects including cityscapes, ocean-views, the animal kingdom and kinship, to name but a small few, the winning photographer announced a few days ago went to Shikhei Goh for capturing a dragonfly riding out a rainstorm in Indonesia. Awarded $10,000 and a trip to the National Geographic Photography Seminar next year, Goh’s photo, just like many of his competitors, was captured at random in less than ideal conditions.

Steve Jobs: 2012 Grammy Trustees Award


Despite the unfortunate passing of Steve Jobs earlier this year, his legacy continues onwards through remembrance. The 2012 Grammy Awards will present a special Trustees Award in honor of the Apple founder. Jobs’ contributions to the music and media industry have been invaluable, effectively helping a dying and archaic industry enter a new era and business model with iTunes. And of course his help in paving the way for music consumption with the iPod is something that has been universally accepted as the standard for design and innovation.

Drake's New Video "The Motto" ft. Lil Wayne & Tyga

Drake's New Video "The Motto" ft. Lil Wayne & Tyga

Keeping it legit to the creator, so with that check this video out from its REAL source on Vimeo. I have seen the video.... could it be better? Yes, but there is no need to hate like people are and you should be happy there is a video at all. People are hating on Drake because of the gloves, Wayne because of the boots, and Tyga because of the Dodgers gear. Two words to the haters... back off! You will probably wear gloves like Drake in the future, Wayne always does what he wants and still looks dope, and Tyga is just putting on the city where he is from. Relax!

What's in The Based Update's Mailbox ft. Filthy Dripped
Oh yes! We got our sixth "What's in The Based Update's Mailbox?" feature! Who dosen't like getting mail, especially when its clothing? Today we got a fat ass package of t-shirts from Filthy Dripped! Continue below to see what we got and our review!

If you don't know Filthy Dripped you need to! They are a clothing store that is located inside the Richmond Mall in the Bay Area California. Not only do sell some of the freshest brands there, but they run their own gear there as well. This is along with the fact that when you go visit Filthy Dripped you will meet good people and have a good time while also being able to get you're hands on some fresh gear. The clothes that we got today are from the recent 2011 Holiday Drop.


Packaging:First, the shipping was priority mail! That is great plus because nobody wants to wait for gear to come in! Second, if you live in the Bay Area and you cannot get to the store, you can order it all online and have it at your house 2 days later. Lastly, everything was in one poly bag which is even more security for the purchase and arrival of your purchase.


Design: Their designs are excellent, eye-appealing, and BAM bright as usual. As you can see they are high quality printed bright tees! Everything is also tagged the way they should be as well! These tees, their store, the designs... they all speak for themselves and come together in a perfect way.


Quality: Filthy Dripped's Clothing is premium solid-quality clothing. All the shirts are well fitting to the size you are. The shirts that they print on are once again solid shirts, they are not those American Apparel shirts that have the neck slowly expand over time due to wear and tear. These shirts stay true, I know this because I still have tees from 2008 that still look and fit like new!


Whats left: There were no extra goodies in this package, but if you visit Filthy Dripped you can get yourself some Filthy Dripped Snapbacks, some stickers, and more!


Is it Approved?: As its branded, they are KILLIN' IT! Filthy Dripped's Clothing has got our thumbs up of approval along with a push towards their store! As you can see this is really a store you need to visit and purchase from!

Final Word
All of this Holiday gear and a lot more are available on their website. Their newest Holiday line did just release a week so you can definitely get this gear and more to stay in style this season, keep warm, and as a great Christmas present! 8 Days till Christmas... make it happen! Stay tuned for a store interview coming soon as well!

Bobby Hundreds: Cut & Sew Progression


For many streetwear labels, the transition from a T-shirt-driven product line to a more mature cut & sew offering is often a treacherous and risky path to take. Built off the back of graphic-laden T-shirts, cut & sew fashion pieces have not always been a forte of The Hundreds founder and Creative Director Bobby Hundreds. In our latest HBTV episode, we follow Bobby Hundreds through the brainstorming phase and material selection process of The Hundreds’ cut & sew offerings. The insightful short video culminates with Bobby speaking on the identity of The Hundreds and the future that he envisions for the label’s cut & sew program, given the rising costs of China-based production that have begun to drastically reshape the way many labels operate.

UNDRCRWN 2011 Holiday Animal Print Snapback Caps


The UNDRCRWN 2011 Holiday Hat Collection is an ode to the ’70s era, which seemingly started it all with looks that have transcended time. The snapbacks marry a range of textures, prints and patterns with classic commodities, with colorways inspired by the forthcoming holiday line of tees and knits. While not everyone can wear a leopard print blazer with red python shoes, these pieces are easily mixed and matched to add the perfect pop of color into your wardrobe. “The Clyde” hats will retail internationally at select boutiques and online at Shopundrcrwn.com, starting yesterday Thursday, December 8.

Nike Soccer: Ronaldo R9 Pra Sempre Fenomeno


Take a look at this video, as a long time fan of soccer and this man this does some justice!

Earlier this year, the soccer world said its fairwells to one of the most dynamic and generation-defining players ever as Brazilian attacker Ronaldo hung up his boots for good. Battling injury and fitness issues up until his retirement, a player of Ronaldo’s stature undoubtedly gained a wealth of support and respect through countless contributions to club and country. Paying tribute to the player in June, he was able to make a 15-minute appearance versus Romania as a last chance to capture some of the irreplaceable nationalistic pride and excitement that comes with pulling on the iconic yellow kit. Nike Soccer captured the whole night through a short film that includes the striker’s own thoughts and some appearances from a new crop of superstars, including Neymar.

A Look Inside Amazon


With the holiday season in full swing and Christmas, as well as other appropriated celebrations, right around the corner, online retailer Amazon has long since prepped for the onslaught of orders. Expected to move more than $32 billion USD worth of merchandise, this obviously equates to a necessity of behemoth warehouse spaces and product to then fill it with. Here we have a look at the Seattle location of where the majority of the goods are located. Amazon accounts for roughly 70% to 90% of all digital sales, as their space seemingly puts Santa’s workshop to shame.

Chelsea Pereira "Based Beauties"

Chelsea Pereira "Based Beauties"

Name: Chelsea Pereira
Nationality: Portuguese French Norwegian
Measurements: 32C-24-36
Website(s): Official Site, Facebook, Twitter

Tell us about yourself. What’s your name? Where are you from?
- Chelsea Brooke Pereira from San Diego, Ca

How did you get involved with modeling? How long have you been doing it for?
- I was a child actor and ended up working some print gigs. I still act, but modeling pays the bills.


What is your favorite part about modeling? What is your least favorite part?
- I am a creative person so I love photo shoots as a whole. The set design, theme, wardrobe, make up, lighting... it’s fun being the center of it.

What has been the highlight so far of your modeling career?
- Going to Barnes and Noble and buying a magazine I had a 6 page spread in.


Being a model, and noticing what people like about you, what part of your body would you say attracts the most attention?
- Definitely my eyes, they are an unusual color and appear to change color. Most of the time they are a really light seafoam green.

If you could choose one person to have a photo shoot with, who would it be? Why?
- Ken Jeong, the asian guy from the Hangover. I think it would be a riot to work with him, he’s hilarious.


If you had the option to model for any brand in the world, what brand would it be? Why?
-I would love to model Alexander Mcqueen; my favorite designer because of the outrageous rock inspired design.

What is something that people don’t know about you?
- I used to want to be in the CIA and had a room in my house that was filled with surveillance equipment.

What is the worst and best thing anybody has tried to do to get your attention?
- I once had a guy carve my name into his arm. I think he was trying to show his devotion, but it was borderline creepy. A great thing that caught my attention was when my now boyfriend bought us a star from the International Star Registry.


What do you think of the word “based” and what it represents?
- Based is when you live your life to the fullest and own all of your decisions. You regret what you don’t do in life, and not what you do.

What words of advice would you give to all the young girls out there aspiring to be models?
- I would suggest having confidence before entering the industry. A lot of people move to LA or NY to try and “find themselves.” If you don’t have a strong sense of who you are the city will eat you up and spit you out.

Where can we find and learn more about you?
- Find me on my web site or Twitter.
