Designer Footwear Seeing Red

     Ok, so you're like many Americans today and you are more interested in using your online time to search for a job then read up on the world of high fashion. I get it, but if that’s you then you may not have read nor even care about a recent epic battle that has unfolded in the courts of New York. Christian Louboutin [GUYS: Louboutin creates high fashion, high dollar footwear for women that seem to have more dollars then sense.] has entered the ring VS. Yves Saint Laurent [GUYS: YSL is a posh designer of mostly fine women’s apparel, handbags, footwear, wallets, jewelry and accessories, beauty products and top notch fragrances. To sum it up, don’t look for this gear at Wal-Mart.] So these two fashion giants are haggling over the red color both designers have placed on the bottom of their shoes. Apparently both companies have produced many shoes over the years with the scarlet under soles. [GUYS: This is the equivalent of Ford suing General Motors for the right to exclusively put black tiers on there vehicles.] US District Judge Victor Marrero ruled that in the fashion world even a big name like Louboutin was not big enough to stop other companies from using the color to adorn the bottoms of any shoe they may choose to produce. On the bright side, both designer’s shoes retail in the multiple hundreds of dollars into the thousands and that removes the burden of picking sides for most of us.

Beginnings "The Journey Starts Here"

       I would like to take the opportunity to introduce myself and this blog "From a Guys Point of View". My name is Ryan Dorris and as of lately have become interested in the idea of Blogging. Now this may be the very first time I have written anything more then the getting to know you section of my Facebook account, but I am excited to see where the potential of this online venture may take me. The intention of this blog is to bring an honest, guy's opinion to those who wish to read it. What I write may sound like nonsense to some people, could be funny to others,  I may make you angry, or what I say might just make you happy to read . No matter what I hope I will challenge you to think outside the box, to push past the immediate awareness of your life and enter into the vastness of the world from the eyes of a guy.
