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...

Jovovich-Hawk X Target Collabo

One of my FAVORITE sites Fashionista.com just informed me that there will be a Jovovich-Hawk X Target collabo coming out!!! This is definitely one of the iller collabos Target has done and I can't wait for it to be released. It's due in stores Spring '08 and Milla says it will include "all our classic pieces: smock dresses, tunics, minis, all vintage-inspired, great prints"...Talk about bringing illness to the masses...

In other collabo news...Milla will also be designing a line of evening gowns and handbags for Mango (who Jovovich-Hawk have already done a collabo with) under her own name to be released this winter...

LAlife

So I just left the Alife LA store opening event and it was mos def fun...The ginger drinks (this recipe is close...don't remember any pineapple tho) provided by 10 Cane were off the chain and the DJ's made sure to keep the crowd rockin'...My forgetful ass forgot to bring a camera so I have no pics to share but the store is hot...It's about time they opened a store in LA...Now whateyesaygoes doesn't have to fly to NY to shop and I know for a fact he thinks that's good ish...Check it out yourself...You'll be pleasantly surprised...

Y3 Boots at eLuxury...

A couple years ago I wanted a pair of Y3 navy boots...They kinda resembled these but they weren't so tall... They were maybe 3 or 4 inches shorter... I thought they were fly and I was very upset when they sold out and I couldn't find them... I just stumbled across these Y3 Runway Nagatabi Boot over at eLux and while I didn't fall in immediate love with them like I did previous seasons I still think I can rock the ish outta these (even tho they are a bit super hero-ish)...The red is a HUGE deviation from anything I'd ever wear (I don't rock red at all) but the illness of the boots overcomes the color...I might hafta cop these but first I'm go'n do a Google search and maybe some eBaying and see if I can find the navy one's from a couple years ago...

My Lip Gloss is Cool...My Lip Gloss be Poppin'...

I have a thing for cell phone charms but I've never thought about the fact that maybe they can actually be useful...I've always assumed them to be useless trinkets with the sole purpose of making me smile (I guess making me smile is a useful thing tho)...Well these cell phone charms not only make me smile, they also enhance my smile...Only available at Sephora, these mini version of Bourjois' best-selling lip gloss, Effet 3D, will make sure that every time you leave the house your lipgloss won't be too far behind...

ish...

- Hip Hop Harry got picked up by The Retro Television Network...That's good ish...I'm all about tryin' to educate the youth in a way they can relate too...

- The commercials are the other reason why I love the LA County Fair...The past 3 or 4 years they have created a series of commercials ( 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 ) that mock the stereotypical Los Angeleno...The one when the girl is in the bumper cars trying to text on her 'kick is comedy...

- New York magazine has a model manual online...Just in time for fashion week...They also have video posted of the 5 worst falls in fashion...That used to be my biggest fear in life falling on the runway...

- These Creative Recreation Boots are off chain!

- Aw Lawd...Foxy claims she is suffering on Rikers Island ...Ummm... It's jail...You're supposed to suffer...

- HollyHood Filmz has acquired the motion picture rights to Dear Mama: The Life Story of Afeni Shakur...I hope this project will actually make it...The youth need to know the history of their past leaders if we are ever go'n get ahead...Especially since I'm sure the only thing they know about Afeni from Tupac's lyrics is that she was once a crackhead...

- Check out Murs' new video "Murray's Revenge"...Ya'll know I love Murs...His video for L.A. been on my myspace page for about 3 years now...

- It's Britney Bitch!

- No matter how Jennifer Lopez acts or who she dates or marries (whatever)...This right here shows that she'll always be hood...She is COMEDY!

LA County Fair Time!!!

I'm a simple girl and it's the simple things in life that make me happy...With that disclaimer aside...Can I say I LOVE THE LA COUNTY FAIR?!!! I know I always say I LOVE things but that's cuz I do really love things that make me happy and the County Fair is definitely one of those things that fills my soul for a million not so obvious reasons but I'll focus on the main one...

I have gone to the Fair every year since I was a kid...My mom dragged me and even as I kid I loved it...The rides, the games, the animals...It was sooo much fun...When I entered my teenage years I started going 'cuz there were always guys around you could flirt with and maybe if you were lucky and went the right night there'd even be a makeshift club going on and of course 'cuz my mom dragged me...But as I got older I realized that I still love the rides and the super slide but what really makes to go to the County Fair these days (and I say county fair and not just LA 'cuz I hit up the OC County Fair when it's going down too...It's cheaper to get in and the only real difference is it's a lil smaller which is fine by me...Who really walks the whole fairground anyway? Have you seen the whole thing? But I digress...) What really makes me go to the County Fair these days is the food!

Chocolate filled Churros, Turkey Drumsticks, Turkey Corndogs, Frozen Banana on a Stick, Pork Chop on a Stick, Corn on the Cob, Funnel Cake, Cotton Candy, Sno Cones, Caramel Apples, Popcorn, Homemade Potato Chips with Baked Potato toppings and Beer! On top of that the County Fair will deep fry anything...Snickers, Oreos, Twinkies, Strawberries, Apples, Tomatoes, Avocados, Olives...Even Coke... Sheesh...It's frickin' heaven is what it is...Definitely a lil gluttony crackin' off but it only happens once a year...That's my excuse...

And if you don't believe me....Check...People of all ages seriously love The LA County Fair...I can't wait to go there and eat! I'm so excited!

Bookswim vs The Library

I saw this over at M.I.S.S. Crew a couple days ago and have been meaning to share it with my fellow dorks...No ladylexx you are not the only one geeking over this...Bookswim is being dubbed the Netflix for Books...Now while I LOVE BOOKS I'm not sure how I feel about this...It's just kinda like a library with a fee...The first thing is...Netflix was replacing in store movie rentals like from Blockbuster or some other video store...You were already paying someone to rent the DVDs now you have the convienence of getting them delivered and no late fees and that ish...But was anyone paying to rent books before? And if they were I can direct them to the closest library where you can rent books for free...There's actually TWO different library systems in LA...Los Angeles Public Library System and the County of Los Angeles Public Library System...Now if you want to subscribe to Bookswim 'cuz you're lazy and just don't feel like going to a library then be it...I can completely understand that but just know that even though they say shippng is free that's really where your $20 monthly fee is going 'cuz the library woulda let you borrow those books for free and I'm sure they have a much larger selection than Bookswim...
