My trip to Honor Fraser for the KAWS exhibit was awesome!

Yo... I was taken aback by his attention to detail! I can't wait to cop some of his pieces for my future pad! I should've made it to the opening so I could've bought some prints for my apt, they're fresh out now :( Anyway, it was so much fun. I encourage you to drop by before its gone!

stylin'...

I STYLED THIS VID! p.s. I'm even better at styling men!

Ummm...

I love this song but I have a couple of problems with the video. Here they are in no specific order:
1.) The full-out girl with the brown hair dancing at every waking moment... it looks like there were no choreographed dancers hired for this vid so, I really hope she's on someone's payroll 'cause she for sure busted a sweat!
2.) The sandy brown-haired video chick who is mouthing all, and I mean ALL of the lyrics to the entire song. This is not Jamie Foxx ft. T-Pain + random chick. Who even knows the whole rap part anyway? I mean, did she rehearse? Because the song is my ringtone and I still only know the "f*** that ni**a" part of the rap...
3.) Ron Howard? Nuff said...
4.) I feel like they could've done so much more, its such a fun song :( Love Jamie anyway tho...

** I hope everyone got endorsements or at least tour sponsorships out of naming at least 3 of the biggest liquor companies in their song...

brokenhearted.

i wonder why men feel the need to lie. women can handle much more than men expect. and we are much more accepting than men think. tsk, tsk, tsk... such a shame. i've lost what faith i had in love...

Jai-Ho!

CONGRATS TO SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE DIRECTORS, ACTORS, ITS SOUNDTRACK SINGERS/MUSICIANS AND CHOREOGRAPHERS FATIMA, JAE BLAZE AND RUJ. WHAT A WONDERFUL MOMENT FOR INDIAN CULTURE! I WAS VERY PROUD TO BE A PART OF THIS. AND I WAS EVEN MORE "PEE IN MY PANTS ECSTATIC" THAT WE GOT TO DO OPRAH THE FOLLOWING DAY!!

ANDRE 3G- for his innovative style contributions to hip-hop and now consumers everywhere


DAVID BECKHAM- for always looking sharp even if it was just to pick up the kiddies from soccer practice


ALEXANDER WANG- for his ultra-laid back but luxe style and his androgynous vibe


DAVID BOWIE- for thinking and acting ahead of the curve and making it cool to genderbend!

MICHAEL JACKSON- for being often imitated but never duplicated... well, duplicated well at least!

DILLA!!

"In a battle with lupus which ultimately took his life, music producer J. Dilla touched the hearts of many through his powerful legacy. For J. Dilla’s mother “Ma Dukes” Yancey who was a tireless helper through Dilla’s battle with the disease, she is also is affected by the same disease that took her soon prematurely. Her condition has recently become more severe as friends jump on-board to help her out. Previous fund raising efforts were seen through a shirt via Stones Throw and artist Parra. Shepard Fairey alongside Brian Cross (B+) has also joined the cause with a special print of J. Dilla based on a 2003 photograph. In a run of 400, the prints will release on February 20th at a retail price of $55 USD (18 in x 24 in). For info on Brian Cross’ own experiences with Dilla, check ObeyGiant.com."- takenfromhbeast

We Likey?

So, these joints are a collaboration from Converse and Mr. Ozzy Osbourne himself. I think they're kinda fresh!

1+1=0??

SO MY FRIEND JUST ASKED ME THE OTHER DAY WHY KERI HILSON HASN'T BLOWN UP YET. AND I HAD TO THINK HARD BECAUSE SHE REALLY HAS ALL OF THE COMPONENTS OF A SUCCESSFUL RECORDING ARTIST. SHE'S BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED AND SEEMS TO HAVE A PERSONALITY SO, I'D THINK SHE'D BE A SHOE-IN! I JUST WONDER... IF RIHANNA NEVER EXISTED, WOULD KERI HAVE ALREADY TAKEN THE WORLD BY STORM?????

THAT NEW, NEW!

YO! THIS IS LIKE A FUTURISTIC "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE" MEETS JACKSON POLLOCK! NICE JOB MR. WEST!

KAWS, KAWS, KAWS!!!!!

FOR THOSE OF U WHO KNOW OR LOVE KAWS...BE THERE OR BE AN L7!!!

HMMM...

IS IT RACIST IF I ROCK THESE WHILE HOLDING A BUCKET OF KFC CHICKEN?

"MR.WEST, MR. FRESH..."

OMG, YEEZY?! YOU'RE SO CUTE RIGHT NOW!! EVERYONE KNOWS I LOVE FASHIONABLE, CHOCOLATE MEN AND MR. WEST CERTAINLY FITS THE BILL...

O,K-K-KAY!!!!!

YO... R THOSE TIGHTS HOMIE?! DOES ANY OTHER 27 YEAR-OLD WEAR TIGHTS WITH OPEN-TOE SANDALS??? I THINK NOT! I'M PRETTY SURE THAT IF YOU WERE BORN IN THE 70'S OR 80'S YOU WOULDN'T PULL NO SHIT LIKE THIS BUT I WON'T JUMP TO THE "AGE CONTROVERSY" OF WHICH I'VE HEARD. I'M GONNA GIVE YOU THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT AND CONSIDER THE IDEA THAT YOU MAY JUST BE A LITTLE SELF-CONSCIOUS ABOUT YOUR LEGS; IN WHICH CASE I SYMPATHIZE BUT GIRL, YOUR A MILLIONAIRE!!! GET LIKE A LEG TUCK OR BOTOX SHOTS OR SOMETHING... WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT WEAR TIGHTS WITH OPEN TOE-SANDALS EVER, EVER, EVER AGAIN!!!

Whattya know?

She's a gal after my own heart, my kindred spirit! If I was an artist out, I'd be the Black, more hip-hop version of her. And while I can't fully get into the album I think she's fresh and innovative. And, I like her even more now that I know she can hit some notes!

"We LIKEY??"

OKAY...

It's not often that I fall prey to the hypnotic melodies and simple hooks of southern rap but God help me if I don't love the "Stanky Leg" and the "Dougie Fresh"!!!!!! Sue me!
