Excerpt from "The Power of Blogs" by Bob Lefsetz
Because bloggers have clearly defined personalities, their readers are passionate. Hell, if you want to know what’s going on in the political world don’t read the newspaper, read the blogs! And I’m saying all this not because I want you to curry favor with me, please no, refrain from that, but because in the past week we’ve seen the mainstream media get it wrong so many...
phinamd asked: ah i see alright I was asking for you opinion on the relationship between the younger and newer generations and politics/social issues. do you feel that there has been a disconnection or the opposite? I ask this because I see that you are politically/socially active with the blogs you put up on the hundreds. I personally do feel there is a disconnection and a lack of interest from younger people...
viabeef asked: Hahahahah I must of been delirious when I typed out that question. What I meant to ask, was; What has been the most beneficial social network for The Hundreds? What social network do you like the most?
NIGHTCAP.
One last thing before I go.
I’ve gotten into two different conversations today with readers (commenters) who have made inaccurate assumptions about me. Basically, making shit up. I think that because I share so much of my opinion publicly, and have blogged my existence for over a decade now, that outsiders have this errant sense of comfortability with Bobby Hundreds. Which is totally fine,...
b-lacour asked: When pursuing street wear or fashion design in general, It seems as though the younger generation has to figure it out on their own, theres no guiding force saying this is how you do it correctly and be successful, In this day and age it is extremely hard to acquire a job without an education so ultimately I'm asking is there any advice you can give myself as well as others on how to pursue...
missneek asked: Something about your words always find a way to grasp my attention and lets me see how beautiful the world is in your eyes with your photographs. Simply beautiful.
room42 asked: just wanted to comment that the words in the Jessica C. tattoo post ARE what makes the post. In a world where seemingly everyone has a tattoo; a regular cottage industry exists of alt girls covered in tats, a narrative such as yours really strikes a chord. It also reminds us of the fact that tattoos have an long history and one primary reason for acquiring a tattoo was a way to get one's...
hfyist asked: I'm from Malaysia and currently studying in one of the private universities there. I'm doing a term paper on the use of social media in business. I am using The Hundreds brand as one of the successful examples. Do you think The Hundreds was on the forefront of using social media, like the blogging you're doing as one of the founder himself at your website, to gain followers to your...
earlallen asked: i was wondering what your relationship status was during your rise to success. I am mainly curious if it is possible to balance a relationship while devoting yourself to a venture like you did. I know everyone/ and every situation is different, but i'm just wondering what your personal experience was. thanks bobby

2011.
My Tumblr is an ongoing, personal entry on opinions and creative endeavors outside of my daily work with The Hundreds. Of course, The Hundreds is my primary portfolio; here you’ll find everything else on my mind that doesn’t neatly fall into the The Hundreds category.
To see my wrap-up on 2011 from the The Hundreds perspective, please check...

This may very well be the greatest The Hundreds story, never told.
__________________________
As many of you already know, The Hundreds was conceived while Ben and I were law students. Maybe it’s not the coolest chapter of The Hundreds’ history, and you probably don’t wanna believe that your favorite Streetwear brand was formulated by lawyers, but it’s true. For...
fvckyovpayme asked: Why aren't these awesome clothing brands and shops never looking to recruit young people coming up who are real serious? At least locals. Unlike music(a art), who always has the older more experienced artist, bringing the a young artist under it's wing, clothing is more like you gotta come up on your own. It's just crazy to me because there are dudes out here other than myself who...
wonkythots asked: Hey Bobby! I was wondering if you could assist with me with choosing a font for my brand name. The font is supposed to convey the feeling of a voyage, or a holiday. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!
apapc asked: And I have another question is "violent beauty" a project you're working on? if so, I'd follow it til the end. I know i'm rambling on but you're one of my biggest inspirations. Your photography is superb and everyday I love reading the hundreds blog!
THE SANTA ANA by JOAN DIDION
There is something uneasy in the Los Angeles air this afternoon, some unnatural stillness, some tension. What it means is that tonight a Santa Ana will begin to blow, a hot wind from the northeast whining down through the Cajon and San Gorgonio Passes, blowing up sand storms out along Route 66, drying the hills and the nerves to flash point. For a few days now we will see smoke back in the...
no-big-deal asked: Hey Bobby H, big fan of The Hundreds and it's story. I have a question however, I'm starting my own brand - nope - it's an internet and gaming brand and I was wondering if you could offer any advice about how someone with a new brand should go about promoting and getting people to know about the brand. I know The Hundreds did not use a lot of/any typical advertising and my budget...
timpraetzel asked: Hey Bobby. I am a designer aspiring to break into the world of streetwear/merchandising/blah blah whatever you want to call it. I am very confident in my design ability but I feel like picking a brand identity/name has always held me back from making any serious moves. How much does the name really affect the success of a brand? Am I wasting time being indecisive on what to label things?
