Will.I.Am X Antik Denim Collabo


Will I Am will be designing a line of jeans call i.am.Antik for Antik Denim...Now I'm gonna try to be nice cuz I actually like Will.I.Am besides being a native Los Angeleno like myself...the guy is actually a nice guy...BUT I'm having a couple problems with this whole thing...First Antik Denim sucks...Simple as that...Second...WHO in the HELL would ever wanna take fashion inspiration from Will.I.Am? I'm all into expressing yourself through yo garb and I'm all for PERSONAL expression but that's where his style needs to stay...Between him and himself...

ish...

Anna Wintour slept with Bob Marley? Is he serious?

Murakami will be designing the new Kanye Cover...That's pretty ill altho you know Kanye just knows who dude is cuz of LV...

Lil Cease has lost his black mind...Them niggas sittin' there laughin' are pretty suspect tho...Like my homegirl said I dunno a nigga that would just sit there and laugh...

Homemade Bling...Now we can all floss like Puff...I think I'll stick to having peeps buy me mine...

The next time you see a weave think to yourself...'Did someone steal this off the head of an Asian woman?'... So I guess we're just taking it back to the old days and scalping people now...

In unrelated Asian women news...Kimora is looking hot in the new issue of The Source...

*Update

- Nike Members Only just released the Amare Metro Collection...

- Karmaloop just got the Free TK shirt...

Devi Kroell x Target Collabo

I'm used to all the normal Target collabo's but very honestly I had NO CLUE they did accessory collabo's...and I like to think I'm some sort of fashionista...Apparently they did one with Rafe a while back...The upcoming one is with Devi Kroell and I think it's adorable...The purses ARE plastic which normally would make me throw up but for $30 the little gold clutch is the perfect accessory for the summer nights...The silver pochette is kinda hot too AND it's only a dub...You can wear it twice and toss it...The Devi Kroell accessory collabo comes out the same day as the Libertine collabo...I like that...Kill two birds with one stone...


One more thing...I really need to give serious serious props to Target for their collabos...They really team up with the fresh new upcoming ill designers and it's much appreciated...For the next accessory collabo they'll be teaming up next with Dominique Cohen...It's set to drop in August...Real good ish...

Hoodiez Toy Release

Signing 2-6PM...Mixer until 10PM...Should be good ish...

Support Barack Obama...with a Hip Hop Twist...

A few days ago I wrote about Halle's Obama shirt and now these hit my inbox...These are a lil more ill and have a much needed hip hop spin to them...If Barack really wants to win this campaign he will mos def need to make sure the hip hop community actually goes out and votes AND that they vote for him...The shirts are from Hoodman and they're available at Digital Gravel...

Toy Watch


I love Toy Watches...I fell in love with the acrylic one's last year and was lucky enough to have someone buy me a pink one (thank you Kevy!) This watch is a favorite of Oprah and a lot of other celebs and at around $150 a pop they're not expensive at all...Well they weren't til the Spring Line came out...The New Spring line has been released and I can see the Toy Watch makers are trying everything in their power so you don't think they're playing...Unlike last year models which were all acrylic and nylon, the Spring line consists of materials like rose gold and ceramic...The ceramic one's actually remind me of the Chanel one's that were all the rage last year but at around $1,200 a watch instead of Chanel's $3,600-$26,000 this one is definitely a little more of a Toy...

Verizon Drops Akon...


I knew something bad was gonna come outta this...Verizon has ended their partnership with Akon...I know this is the first of a series of sponsorships he's going to lose...He gets HEAVY rotation on Radio Disney (surprisingly)...I know they're gonna stop playin' his songs now...What's really f'ed up is that Verizon stopped sponsoring Gwen Stefani's tour since he was part of it...I know Gwen is like WTF?!! I think everyone should take note...You see how your actions can affect other people? If I was Gwen I'd mollywop the fool...

Cam'ron Outta Dipset?


So it looks like my favorite member of Dipset might not be a 'member of Dipset any more...Hmmm...Nah Right has all the available info (which isn't much)...We'll have to see how this develops...

Jay's Love Child...

This seems to be the rumor that never dies so I finally decided to spread it...This time Hip Hop Weekly is covering it...

The latest issue of Hip Hop Weekly hits stands this week with an exclusive interview that will blow the lid off all the Jay-Z rumors. Hip Hop Weekly broke the story about Jay-Z's secret 5 year-old son two issues ago and now has the exclusive interview with a source very close to the Trinidadian model rumored to be the mother of Jay-Z's child. In our interview our source tells ALL, stating that "Jay-Z is definitely the father of Isa-Jael" and that Beyonce has known about the child for quite some time.

I really just don't understand why you're hiding kids...I mean...I understand peeps think it looks bad and outta wedlock the public might react bad...blah blah blah...but a child...no matter how, when or by who you've had it... is a precious thing and I just don't ever understand hiding it...If peeps can't understand it then bump them...

Five Four X New Era Collabo


WOO HOO!! New Collabo!!! This one is from New Era and Five Four...New Era has been doing a lot of ill collabo's lately and this one is no different...Ya'll already know I LOVE Five Four and this hat is the perfect example of why...It is available at El Mercado in Los Angeles ...and a lil birdie told me it's one of few collaborations to come from New Era and Five Four Clothing...I can't wait to see the rest!!!

I'm not...

So I have to admit I want this bag...It's $10 and I think it's a really cute idea and I think it will make some fashionistas who might not be so eco-conscious a lil more eco-conscious...It's been sold out all over the UK and impossible to find...The Anya Hindmarch site has more details about the US and Japan release...On the East Whole Foods will be receiving a shipment when it actually does make it to the states...and on the West Fred Segal Flair in Santa Monica will receive it...It will also be available in Anya Hindmarch Stores across the country...

But apparently everyone doesn't share my same opinion regarding this bag...Marissa V. has made a hilarious spoof of Anya Hindmarch's bag...Her site says it best...

The "I'm NOT a smug twat" bag is a reaction to the it-bag phenomenon, a reaction to the faddishness of fashion...and it helps you avoid using plastic bags!As seen in the London Evening Standard and the Daily Mail, the "I'm NOT a smug twat" bag has become a phenomenon in turn. Work the irony out for yourself...Not available in major multiple retailers. Not made halfway across the world.



Now that's COMEDY!!

ish...


I couldn't of said it better myself...Let's hope this doesn't catch on...

Usher is about to fire his momma...HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

Well at least
Joe Francis knows black girls ain't going wild for free...

Can Eddie just take the damn test already? Why is he making this woman get a court order AFTER HE swears it ain't his?

So after ALL the drama...DJ Drama has to change his name...He should see if dude will take the case against him since he wants his name so bad...

Are They Serious?


What NEW shape? They mean the shape they were when they first came out? If they really wanna improve it they should take the nasty berry flavor out...

Tokidoki X Toy2R Collabo

So we all know how I LOVE Tokidoki AND collabos! Here's another one between Tokidoki and Toy2R ...They have produced a limited edition 8-inch Red Bear Qee. Only 300 of the figures are available...Freshness Mag has all the details...

On another note...check out my Tokidoki screensaver my bro put on my 'kick about a week ago...I LOVE IT!!!

Nike Dunks Animazing


The Nike Members Only Store launched a new collection of Dunks inspired by Japanese anime culture...They're pretty ill...

FYI...They got the Amare Metro Collection too...Can't wait for those to be released...

XLarge Logan Hicks Farewell

Logan Hicks is leaving LA...

To mark my departure from Los Angeles I will be having a 'Farewell show' the XLarge Upstairs Gallery on Vermont Avenue. I invite those of you on the west coast to come have a drink with me, and check out my newest body of work. In addition to the new body of work, I will also be showing some gems that have been tucked away in my studio. I started to clean out my studio, and I keep running across pieces that have slipped into the storage corners of my studio. Many of these pieces have been sold out for years, so this will be your last chance to pick up the pieces.

Logan Hicks Farewell Los Angeles Show
May 17th-July 4th
Upstairs Gallery
X-Large Los Angeles
1768 Vermont Ave.
Telephone: 323-666-3483
Opening Reception

Ish like this is the reason R. Kelly hasn't been tried with anything yet...Somehow he continues to pull the wool over the public's eye...I'm not hating tho...I LOVE R. KELLY!!!

I'm assuming
Sean Paul (YoungBloodz) is changing his name to Sean P. since there's already a Sean Paul (I dunno...I'm just guessing here)..but what about this Sean P. and this Sean P. ...He might wanna rethink this name change stuff...

And the new era of Big Brother begins...and I don't mean the TV show...

*Updates
- If you missed out on the Kate Moss TopShop hoopla try to be patient...word is a summer collection will be released in June...
- The first releases from the Fafi x Adidas collabo are on sale at Karmaloop...

Support Barack Obama


Ever since I saw Halle rockin' this shirt I've been trying to find it...Back in 2004 when I first realized there was a young, cute, pretty chill, black senator in the White House I started asking around to find out more about him...It was Barack Obama so I did a little googling and found he briefly attended my Alma Mater Occidental College and I've been a fan ever since...

My mom attended his book signing at
Eso Won a couple months ago and came back with a button that says 'Obama for President - Coming Soon' and I couldn't wait for the race to actually begin...

The shirt Halle is wearing is available here...as well as a couple other women's Obama shirts...the site also has one men's Obama shirt (that's a first...more options for women than men...Obama's peeps obviously know where most of his support comes from...Can we help it the man is fine AND a politico?...Man... The power thing is a turn on...Just ask Carrie or Gaby...they both seemed to have dated the same politician)
Cop them and show your support! Proceeds go to Obama '08...

*On a whole 'nother note...The site also has that
wrap Drew Barrymore can't seem to live without...
