Straight People Pride?


Get ready for a Rant

As a friend to the Gay Community, this made me Angry.

Ok, good for promoting famlay etc, but as far as I can remember Straight People never had to overcome adversity to have equal rights based on their sexuality. So when I saw there was a Straight Pride Parade, I gagged, I'm ashamed, to me this is the equivalent  of a White Power Parade- I'm sure plenty of you would say WTF or be pretty pissed about it. Someone would have an uproar. 
Now not only is it ridiculous, it's being held in BKlyn, a day before the West Indian Parade. Because unfortuntaley we know that 90% of the Reggea, Soca, and Calypso songs out there are always Gay bashing, even though Most of the Homosexual men and women I know are of Carribean Descent....
This is ridiculous, if you read this blog, don't go, if you're a dude and think this is the movement, you're wack, if you're a girl, clearly you must be some bible hankering crazy girl, and I don't want you to be my friend. This is only promoting ignorance and hate, their intentions is to humilitate or make Gay & Lesbian West Indians feel uncomfortable.
Don't support this bullshit.
"Girls"- I'm on your side

This Guy feels the same as me

Hellz-Bellz interview w/ Karmaloop

If you think she is the most cutest person in the world here you have to see her new fierce look!  Big Ups Lawn!  Keep up the sick work!  Ok Bam you too!

Cubannie Links up to no good in Vegas!

Vegas was pretty Dope this year! Especially all the damn free drink tickets I got! LOL! Here is a brief breakdown of my trip, well kinda brief!

Day 1: My luggage was trashed at the airport! Walked the Ceasars mall with a Mai-Tai with Coffey and Smiley of XXL Mag!
Day 2: Magic / Slate show! Met up with Karmaloop folks Jesse, Redd and Gio! Went to the Simmons sisters Pastry booth. Angela actually spotted my jewelry and said it looks like something she has worn before! Well she did! V&A's next Pasty campaign set to hit a Time Square Billboard near you, will be in some Cubannie Links jewels. I got a sneak peak of the images and OMG! I then saw Mariel Haenn, stylist extrodinaire, her resume includes...Rihanna and now full-time Jada & Will Smith. And my fave Kim Snow marketing diva for Pastry. Then dinner at Strip house at the Planet hollywood hosted by my friends Lisa & Coltrane of Epiphany Media and somehow was apart of T.I. documentary for MTV! I am player #153...LOL! Yes he was in Vegas! How did he pull that one! There were magazine editors and stylist from Vibe Mag, Complex, Giant, LTD! My business cards dream! LOL! Then headed to The Moon at the Palms where I got to see E.P.M.D. perform! This is the one and only moment I got a chance to see Rose! Rose I love you! You look gorgeous by the way!
Day 3: Headed back to Magic/S.L.A.T.E. were I had a little impromtu interview with adorable Relz & Chef of Randumb Miami. So excited for these cool chicks who could totally be my little sisters! Got a change to see the Miss Crew, crew...precious! Drinks pretty much all day then ended the night at the Mix up at theHotel where I saw Lanie and Bam of Hellz-Bellz! OMG you gotta check out her new fierce do!
Vegas Tip: Don't walk the Bellagio alone in a mini skirt! You could be easily mistaken for a hooker, no matter how classy you think you look! Somehow the Bellagio Casino can do that to you! And if you lean up close enough to the crap table almost as if you are gambling, the waitresses thinks your spending money and you get free drinks! This tip does not work, I repeat does not work if you are at the slot machines!

A memorable night in Brooklyn...

Almost teared up when I took a late walk to the sushi spot on Dekalb (Fort Greene) for a late dinner since I am still kinda on Vegas time!  From almost a block away, I heard a speech from a distance, very Martin Luther King type of feeling!  I walked past Madiba, a pretty well known South African restaurant in my neighborhood, and there on the TV, Obamas acceptance speech.  It was like everyone watching, just new that one day they can say they were there, they lived it!  I walked passed the park and some people sitting at the benches had it on the radio!  Gave me goose bumps!  How classic and 1940's of us!  I just know we are all apart of something special!

Greedy Genius!!!

I had a chance to meet up with my new friends Digit and Mik owners of Greedy Genius, at S.L.A.T.E / Magic in Vegas! If they made a dollar for every person who said they are the cutest couple, they'd be caz-illionaires. Hmm they might be anyway because this footwear collection, is available almost everywhere...LOL!  Check out their shop list for a shop near you!  They've been on the scene for almost 2 years and their femme collection will be dropping this Fall!  Yay!  Exciting!  Go check em!  They are currently on the debut cover of Persona Magazine!

The Lakeview Terrace: Is this for Real?



This right hurr, has possibly got to be the worst movie premise I can think of in awhile. I just saw the trailer and kept asking myself if it was some sick joke. Listening to Samuel Jackson Wild out on the white dude makes me thnk of the old Dave Chapelle skit
Remember.........

Vegas in a nutshell


Swaggerjacked from Complex and The ArabParrot, respectively

I've been in Vegas for the past few days, just landed last night, been extra exhausted!If you were there, you saw this Gross bitch in front by the Urban Brands area, me and Marley nearly gagged when we realized that her vajayjay was pretty visible.Homegirl on the Right just pretty much sums up everyone else who was there to look "cool" and not for work. Personally I'm not a fan of Vegas, the last time I went SureShot had a gig at this club in the MGM and I didn't sleep for 36 hours thanks to lots of redbulls,vodka and amateur gambling. but thankfully hanging with Samantha and Marley completely made for a more fun and very productive trip!!! It was hustle, hustle play, sleep everyday.
Some pics coming from Marley soon, for now just See Samantha's short description of the happenings and entertain yourself with the pic on the right from the Arab Parrot (I saw him at Project, another tradeshow and kinda thought he was cute).
I'm back :D

A CRACKHEAD TRAGEDY-DAMN JODECI, WHY??


WHUT happened to my childhood?,K-Ci was always kind of busted, but whoa mr. Dalvin!
I've been dreaming about seeing Jodeci live in concert ever since i was a little girl (I was too young to go to the Jodeci concerts back when they were actually hot) and this crack-tacity is what I can expect?? Aw man! See Mary J? Aren't you glad you got out while you still could?.I don't know what hurt me more, K-ci's STILL exposed bird chest, Jojo's-cartoon-like collapse, or the stuff the camera girl was saying...WHY did K-Ci keep SINGING???
It's 3 minutes long, but I know all you hard working people have some time on your hands to watch a crackhead fall out. Lmao!

thanks for the email Tisha

dj lissa monet presents: THE MIXTAPE. plain&simple. vol001

AWWWWWWWW


Someone emailed this to me as a joke, but I can't hate on him, I love Andre J, even thought his Norma Kamali ensemble may have gone a little over the edge, he still has a special place in my heart and I won't say anything bad. Andre, I 'll wear a matching outfit and then people can make fun of us together :)
But I know y'all will.... so go 'head



Even though BlacButterfly's Osama Bin Shopping quote made me roll off the bed!
