From the get-go, one notices Diesel founder Renzo Rosso’s two R tattoos bedecking the knuckles on the ring finger and flip-‘em-off finger. In response to my comment (cool tats), Rosso answers, “They are my initials,” in the way he answers all questions: coolly and matter of fact. Other facts -- Diesel turns 30 old this year. Fact: Diesel has more jean variety than Baskin Robbins has ice cream flavors. Fact: Diesel stores always have loud music roaring, often spun by an in-house DJ. Personal fact: My first encounter with Diesel was courtesy of Vanessa, the Venezuelan exchange student in 9th grade, who blessed the halls of Asheville High (North Carolina) in the sickest pair of rocker jean shorts I’d ever seen.

Britney Spears' tenth comeback in as many minutes is about to take a turn for the Robyn this weekend, according to online rumors. Several websites are reporting (and several sources are confirming), that the no-longer toxic singer will be performing at this Saturday's mammoth Diesel bash off the coast of Brooklyn. I mention Robyn -- who recently reinvented herself on her own terms as an indie dance queen -- because if Spears actually does take the stage at the circus-themed megabash, she'll be sharing a bill with acts like M.I.A., N.E.R.D., Franz Ferdinand, and Hot Chip.

A pairing of the literary and the fashion worlds doesn’t exactly seem like a match made in heaven.

But, thanks to "Flash Fiction" -- a recently launched multimedia project courtesy of Diesel -- the literary world is getting a whole lot more fashionable.

This month, Diesel released a collection of timepieces inspired by a Back to the Future-style amalgam of past, present, and future. There's one with a yellow crystal face and gunmetal case, another with a silver leather cuff. Our personal favorite, pictured left, boasts an LED display, which, of course, tells time but also flashes "DIESEL." It's futuristic-retro, to be sure. And in the words of one Dr. Emmett Brown, "Don't worry. As long as you hit that wire with the connecting hook at precisely 88mph the instant the lightning strikes the tower... "

The fifth edition of the Diesel Wall Art competition has been underway for about a month now—but there’s still plenty of time to submit your graffiti. According to the release, “Painting, photography, video and performance, light, sound, text, experimental concepts including 3-D, performance and show elements are all welcome.” And, this time around, four new walls have entered the fold: artists are invited to defile buildings in Manchester, Barcelona, Zurich (pictured left), and New York. The winner will be announced on June 10. Get tagging!
