New Styles Tres Noir Handmade Sunglasses

We have long been fans of the hand made, retro style sunglasses from our friends at Tres Noir. TattooApparel.com and our Retail Store, Perpetual Vogue were some of the very first places to offer these great sunglasses years ago when the line first came out.  One of the things we admire about the team at Tres Noir is how they continue to come out with new designs each year and to add new color choices to some of the original styles.

We just got in the Sophia style and the Heartbreaker style which are  new ladies designs. We have them in stock now in two colors.














For the guys we have the Upstart and Chandlers which are newer styles available along with newer colors in some of the best selling styles. There are new colors available in many styles for guys and gals including Femme Fatale, 45's and Waycoolers.

All Tres Noir Glasses come with a hard case. The only problem is deciding on which style and what color you want. You cannot go wrong with the great styling from Tres Noir.

Diabolik and Perpetual Vogue Jewelry to Rock Stars at Golden Gods Awards

The Revolver Magazine Golden Gods of Heavy Metal Awards Show took place recently in Los Angeles. The Gift Bags that went to Rock Stars and VIP's included a piece of Diabolik 85258 Pewter Jewelry courtesy of the artisans at Diabolik.

Special Diabolik Jewelry items were given to Nikki Sixx and Slash. Slash received the new Silver Top Hat Skull Pendant. Slash received the very first one of this design. The .925 Silver Top Hat Skull design is now available to the general public at TattooApparel.com .

Diabolik sent Nikki Sixx the new Imperator Lion Pendant which is in cast bronze. Nikki posted a photo of himself wearing the pendant on his Sixx Sense blog this week. It looks fabulous on him.  The Bronze Imperator Pendant is now available at TattooApparel.com and in the Perpetual Vogue Store in Southern California.

Nikki Sixx also received our Perpetual Vogue Exclusive Design Winged Guitars Pewter Pendant at the event.


Be sure to follow The Sixx Sense blog for current info about Nikki Sixx and Sixx AM. I have to admit that as much as I always liked Motley Crue I really love the music from Sixx AM.  I love the song "This is Gonna Hurt". It has been getting a lot of air play on the Octane Channel of Sirius Radio.

TattooApparel.com goes to the Golden Gods Heavy Metal Awards

We were thrilled last week to be invited to hang out Backstage and at the VIP bar for the 2012 Revolver Magazine Golden Gods of Heavy Metal Awards Show. We arrived early to stake out seats at the VIP Bar and then took turns heading back stage to see the show close up. That is Clarissa and Deepak from Perpetual Vogue / TattooApparel.com in the photo above with Adrian Patrick of Otherwise at the after show party in the VIP Bar.

The three major highlights of the night for me were:
1. Seeing Johnny Depp...okay I admit it I was a total crazy fan and chased him down the hall to Marilyn Manson's dressing room...Johnny played guitar as part of Marilyn Manson's band during the show giving a whole new meaning to Manson's song "The Beautiful People" in my book
2. Getting the Zakk Wylde Guitar that I won earlier this year at the Zakk Wylde Roast autographed by Zakk.
3. Hanging out with Adrian Patrick of Otherwise in the bar. What a nice guy Adrian is and I am a huge fan of the Otherwise Song - Soldiers. Otherwise have a new album about to come out and are currently doing shows around the Country.

Some photos from that night:

Affliction Clothing not just fighter shirts anymore

Any of you that have been following or shopping with us for several years know that we used to carry Affliction Clothing when it was a new brand several years ago. We stopped carrying the line after a couple of years when it switched gears and seemed to be all about fighter shirts and seemed to be sold everywhere. We thought it was played out and moved on.

Recently Affliction came under new ownership and they have diversified their styles into genres that are a better fit for us. Just today we added Affliction's American Customs and Affliction Black Premium Lines to our product offerings. The American Customs Line is all about the guy that loves custom cars and custom bikes. The American Customs shirts are comfortable and speak to guys that want a cool looking speed shop style shirt that is high quality yet not blingy. The Affliction Black Premium Line is all about button front shirts that are elegant with clean lines yet still have some edgy details in tonal colors. They speak to guys who go for Rocker styling and want a woven shirt that can take them from day to night in style.


We are pleased to have American Customs and Black Premium shirts in stock now in time for Holiday Shopping. These items can be found on TattooApparel.com , PerpetualVogue.com and in our Southern California Retail Store, Perpetual Vogue.
