Alexander McQueen X M.A.C. cosmetics

Word is the Alexander McQueen X M.A.C. collabo will be released in early October and I for one can't wait! The limited edition colors are all from McQueen's autumn/winter 2007-08 catwalk and they are sure to inspire make-up junkies everywhere. I think I'm going to have to experiment with the Electro Sky Paint Pot and the Nile Eyehadow (blue shades)...Archangeli has more pics over at her Flickr account...

Jay...Jigga...Jazzy...Whatever You Wanna Call Him...

DOES indeed have a new album coming out...Nah Right is reporting that it's TRUE!!! Jay has a new album coming out...And I for one can't be happier...I mean did we really expect him to retire...How many rappers retire and actually stay retired? The NY Times is reporting the album will drop in early November...Read More and check The NY Times link over at Nah Right...

*On a side note...The portrait of Jay above is by one of my favorite young artists Cbabi Bayoc and it is available at the Bayoc Studio (which very honestly deserves a post of its own)...

New Era x Agenda x Stoked “Contributions” Collection Hat by In4mation

I saw this hat over at Freshness a few weeks ago and immediately fell in love and for me that's hard to do with fitteds maybe 'cuz I'm a broad...I do own a couple and I rock them from time to time but it's rare that I see one and just have to have it like with this one...The clouds, the cursive (I have a thing for lower case cursive) and the aloha under the brim are so artisitic I couldn't help but to fall in love...This hat by In4mation for the New Era X Agenda X Stoked collabo is just so ill...This first installment of New Era X Agenda X Stoked collabos was designed by six different brands and will be released holiday season and the proceeds will be going to Stoked Mentoring which makes me love this hat even more...Art, fashion and charity? Definitely good ish...

Renova Toilet Paper

A couple years ago Renova released black toilet paper and it was all the rage...I personally thought colored toilet paper was a unique idea but I personally didn't want black toilet paper in my bathroom...Well Renova now has an answer to my complaints...They now have added green, red and orange to the line up in rainbow bright, techni colors! The green is really off chain and I'm mos def purchasing it for the upcoming holidays parties but it would make a nice addition to any guest bathroom year round...I got a penchant for ill household items...They're the kinda things that make you smile when you wake up in the AM and hate yo day job...

WTF?!

Is THIS about? They are NOT serious!! Someone tell me they are not serious...Interscope Records thinks selling $5 swap meet glasses and a $3 Liquid Paper PEN for $20 to make and I quote to make your own Soulja Boy shades is a GOOD IDEA! I really would like to know how many orders they've taken for this combo...The next time I hear someone say Hip Hop is dead I'm going to say blame Interscope for stifling the creativity of the youth and selling pre-packaged ol' school Ghetto taggin' kits...

ish...

Paris Hilton launched Rich Prosecco...This girl will put her face on about anything... I guess there's a market for champagne in a can...Altho I think Sofia conquered this market a few years ago and between them and the mini Moet...I don't really think we need another portable champagne...

Why do I have this bowl?!!! The one I have cost about $25...My boss picked it up in Amish Country!!!! Wonder if they know someone bit their ancient art of bowl making...Probably not...That's what happens when you shun technology...Peeps take yo ideas and start charging $75 for them...

Since when can an airline ask you to get off a flight for wearing revealing clothing? This 'fit ain't even THAT revealing! If it was me I'd sue too...

It was only a matter of time before someone figured out how to download free ringtones on the new iPhone...follow this link before they make them take it down! LOL!

Forbes also has info about unlocking the phone so you can use it with other carriers besides AT&T... Good ish...

Told Ya'll...

I really didn't wanna do another Told Ya'll post so soon BUT I TOLD YA'LL ( 1 - 2 )!!! Chanel Iman is going to be the next BIG Supermodel and the LA Times has a huge article about her on the front page of this Sunday's Image section...Check it out...Support the girl from Baldwin Hills...She's bound to be HUGE!!!

OKI-NI STOP SELLING WOMEN'S CLOTHES...So sad...

OHMIGOD!!! HOW can Oki-Ni stop selling Women's gear?! They are NOT serious...They are KILLING ME!!!

On their website they give some shitty ass reason as to why they stopped...Basically they weren't making enough money and so now we women have to suffer...

I must say I am actually really sad oki-ni is closing...They year isn't even over and already I've lost TWO great online places to shop...It's a sad day...

'kicks & gear...

You know what happens when I start bloggin' around late at night...I end up shopping or should I say coveting... Ya'll know I personally don't stray from Nike too much but I do own a pair of Andrew Kuo Pro Keds from the Pre-Dame Dash Era...The artist in me LOVES them!

Sorry had to throw a pic up to get in lightweight Braggin' Rights LOL! But I just saw these Pro-Keds over at Hypebeast...

These are the most gorgeous Pro-Keds I've seen in a while... They are a collabo with a basketball team in Japan’s Pacific Baseball Division...All I really know is they're ill...

Hypebeast also had these Dickies X Situation Normal collabo Idiot Savant shorts up...Ya'll know how I love Dickies (They were in last week's men's 'fit of the week)...I'm sure you can cop these shorts at SituationNormal...IF they're open...(sorry...inside joke)...

I love men's wear!! Girls can just freak them in ways guy's never can and that's why I LOVE being a broad! LOL!

Told Ya'll...

Inga was goin' down... She got a YEAR in the klink ...I wasn't wishin' it upon her 'specially since she's pregnant but I knew it was bound to happen...You can only act a fool so much 'til it catches up with you and very honestly they gave her a million chances to change her piss poor attitude 'cuz I'ma tell you right now if I had done that ish when I was on probation they woulda locked my black ass up right away...

Onituska Tiger Goes Back to School with Sportie LA...

I just got back from the Onitsuka Back to School event at Sportie LA and of course the party was hot...What else do you expect from Sportie? The fall Tigers are really different than any Asics I've seen before... They look like graph paper and all the details are embroidered on them like scribble scrabble...Kinda like a Nike seamless but with a whole lot of embroidery for the details...The graph paper and scribble scrabble are perfect for Back to School...That's what I used to do in class...Doodle and scribble scrabble and never pay attention...Anyway the kicks are pretty ill...Pretty creative...Pretty hot...Gimme a sec...I'll upload pics from the party...

and the ill gift bag...

ish...

- For all you guys that keep tearing up the back of your designer jeans...Look what I found...

- Eddie Griffin is COMEDY! I woulda told them "F*** Ya'll!" too! Uppity negroes....

- Common is right "a hat is another way of putting on a crown" but how you peddling $150 apple jacks? Who 'posed to buy them? The peeps in the 'hood? Like whateyesaygoes said...Just shows he ain't really down for The People...LMAO!

NEW iPOD!!!!!

The new iPod is being released in a few weeks and YES it's like the iPhone..."the same size screen as the iPhone, but it's even thinner", "same multi-touch interface"...It also has WiFi so you can check the net...Comes in 8GB and 16GB and will be priced at $299 and $399...Now THIS is good ish...

50 vs Kanye Pt.2 (via The Sly Show)...

In an attempt to determine which album is better, The Sly Show is currently playing tracks from 50's and Kanye's album..Sly seems to think 50's go'n win...I'm still not sho...Especially since he won't let any Kanye songs play past 30 secs LOL! Apparently Kanye is "not amusing him" LOL! Sly says he'll post both albums on his site so you can decide for yourself but until then Tune in to The Sly Show RIGHT NOW!!!!

50 vs Kanye

This is the real cover of the Rolling Stone...Not the one below which has been circling the net for days now...If 50 ain't got the sloping forehead of prehistoric man I dunno who does...I swear I think he was frozen for a million years and recently thawed out...That's the only explanation as to how evolution skipped him...

I've actually heard Kanye's album (and the Japanese bonus tracks) and all I know is everything sounds better than anything 50's released off his album yet but what do I know? Maybe he's holding some heat waiting to release it at the last minute...I sho hope so or he's go'n be crying when Kanye outsells him and if that happens neither one of them is ever go'n shut up...

Shaq Has Filed for Divorce...

I never like seeing a black couple split but for some reason this one is making me a lil more sad than most...Crazy thing is HE filed for divorce...That's a lil strange...And according the the Miami Herald "Shaquille O'Neal is asking Shaunie O'Neal to provide a "correct accounting of all money, funds, stocks, bonds, and other securities" that she had access to or obtained during the marriage."...Hmmm...Someone dip her hand into the cookie jar without letting big man know? Rumor is she was stealing...I hope it's not true...How can you steal from the man that gives you the world? I'll never understand...

T Bags Sale...

Chloe Sale...

You don't see too many of these...Better RSVP...

P. Diddy Makes a Man Strip in Public...LOL!

Puff oh I'm sorry...P. Diddy done lost his mind...Page Six is reporting the other night at his annual white party he made some man strip off his cream pants and slip into some white one's that he provided...OK see I can understand making the man change...I'm all against fashion faux pas' too and if I'm throwing the party and can control a faux pas from happening then I'd be all over it too...I said white...I mean white...AND he was even nice enough to loan (Actually I should say give...I'm sure Puff don't want them pants back) the guy a pair of white pants but did he really need to make him change in the street? See THAT'S a lil too much...I know his lil mini me told on that dude...Look at him pointin' him out...Lil snitch...

Tokidoki X Onitsuka Tiger Collabo

We know I love Tokidoki and Tokidoki collabos (if you click collabos at the right about 4 tokidoki one's show up) but a Tokidoki X Asics Collabo?! It's like the collabo from heaven...I can't even believe it's happening...I've looked everywhere but there aren't any pics anywhere on the net to give hint as to what they might actually look like...Guess we'll hafta wait and see...Over at the Tokidoki blog Simone answers a few questions regarding the collabo in the comment section of his Sneaker Pimp post...Tell you one thing... I'm coppin' them when they come out...And yeah...I can say this without seeing the shoe...That's how much faith I have in Tokidoki and Asics...There will be 2 styles, 4 colors dropping in Spring 2008...Man that seems like a long time away...
