If you're out there you're vulnerable. People prefer to disappear in life, to repress their personality. That's not living. It's dying. I see them all over the place, the walking dead.

Lil' Wayne Obsessed with a Queen::

Lil' Wayne drops video for his rock single "Prom Queen" and I must admit the video adds a flare to the overall concept of the song. In a way ::deep breath:: this song/video gave me a feeling like Rock N' Roll had returned to its original prototype, haha!

And a track with Wayne not cursing every other word or slurring??? Priceless.



Hmmn....I wonder who this ||Q.u.ee.n|| was at the prom who Lil' Wayne was infatuated with?

The Surgeon's Favorite Patients:: White Mike & Kim Lee

Looks like MJ will be coming out of seclusion. He has officially scheduled to make an announcement on Thursday at the O2 Arena in London. Britain's Sky News reported Wednesday that the 50-year-old King of Pop has agreed to a series of summer concerts at the O2. So, it looks like yet another Diva will be hitting the stage following a stint of time away from performing! We shall see....Michael has left the kidds hanging for some time now, so I'm not holding my breath for this one. He has probably scheduled this only to announce he's never performing again. Joke!

Monday March 9, 2009 13 new cast members will hit the dance floor for the first time on "Dancing With The Stars." Included is one of Hip-Hop's leading ||L.a.D.i.e.s||, Lil' Kim. She took a break from rehearsals and gave an interview about her spot on the popular dance show. I must say it gives insight into another dimension of her personality. One that will give the general public a different perspective of who Lil' Kim really is. I am definitely gettin' into it. w.e.r.k Ms. Jones!




I have never heard her talk so...proper? Who taught you that girl? Prayer [prison] changes things, yes it does!

India.Arie Testifies as Only She Can::

In her 4th studio album "Testimony: Vol. 2, Love & Politics" India.Arie comes back with heartfelt tracks that do anything but disappoint fans. Since her debut in 2001, India has proven time and time again , that other artists need to catch up to her level; she sets a the standard for neo-soul artists of today. No one in this generation combines soul, rhythm, love and political motifs in such a tasteful way than this Atlanta native. This album invites listeners on a journey to a deeper spiritual side of India.Arie.

The running theme of the album is connection through creation. In her intro/interludes she thanks God that he created her "from the same grains, from the same thing." This universal appeal resurfaces in "Ghetto" where she breaks down geographical barriers in comparing several countries [ghettos]. This track is followed by the album's lead single "Chocolate High" feat. Musiq Soulchild, which honestly does the overall project no justice. It's a good album filler, but there are stronger tracks that would have better served as singles.

Album highlights include "He Heals Me," the soul-stirring "Pearls" which places you in the daily routine of a woman from Somalia. The nostalgic "River Rise" takes you to a place deep within that we often forget. The album closes with a beautiful ode to life that inspires hope and change called "A Beautiful Day."

Turn Ya Bag Swag....ON::

This spring put away those over sized bags! They were cute for the fall-- don't get me wrong-- but let small, ornate clutches make statements all by themselves as the weather warms up & you lighten your load. They can do no wrong. Watch them ||w.e.r.k|| You can modestly start your collection shopping online at Patricia Field.

If you need a prototype, watch lil' Ms. Knowles...she seals everything in my book!








Back N Commission after ||M.I.N.O.R|| Surgery::

It's been ages since I've banged out a blog filled with randomz and all that jazz....and little bit of reads!?!?

Pressed right?

Well, I feel like I've fully recharged from an overwhelmingly draining year. But with 2008 gone, milk hirer than over.........oh, and some new family in the white house: I'M BACK KIDDIES.

Costume National

Costume National Tote
Costume National Briefcase Bag I love these bags, i wish i could have them both. I got to give credit to the designers they are outstanding. The tote is just amazing and i absolutely love the front pockets. The handle is beautifully executed as well as the stitching at the bottom of the bag.

Maison Martin Margiela fingerless gloves


Maison Martin Margiela has been one of my favorite brands for a while now and thay always keep impressing me. Just when you thought there was no other way to creatively recreate a clothing piece, they show up and surprise you. The grey fingerless gloves retails for $130 while the black fingerless gloves retails for $99.

D&G Tote



This is one awesome piece from D&G although it has trappings of Ralph Lauren elegance it is still by all means your typical D&G design. Notice the way the shoulder strap is perfectly hidden in the middle compartment of the bag bordering the two other sides. The position of the pocket on the middle barrier is perfect! i would not have wanted it any other way. The design has this jersey kinda feel and of course blue is one of the most favorite colors in the world.

Marc Ecko Outerwear

Brass knuckle jacket $150What i like about this jacket is situated center front. The slanting pockets both at the chest and waist areas are beautifully executed. Also notice that the cuffs are fused with ribbed cotton.

Chain reaction jacket $99

The most intriguing feature of this jacket are the zip front pockets with chains. I like the two toned lapel and cuffs. And the pocket situated in the chest section transform this blazer into a hybrid. I do not know if the pockets are functional though but daring design...love it!
