Samia has her idea of what handsome is, and I have mine.

^^At his recent record release party. And yes he's short (why do you think he's dating a woman named Tiny--she makes him look tall!), but seeing as I will never be meeting him face to face and thus won't have to experience the joy suck of being six inches taller than him, I can just pretend in my mind that his actually a cool six foot.

p.s. I decided after looking through all the images from this party that the reason he doesn't smile much is cuz he doesn't have that great of a smile! He looks better serious.

Living doll KimK recently posed for a Radar Mag photo shoot. The theme was the long ago and legendary Brooke Shield CK jeans ad campaign. In her interview with the mag, she gave the best comeback punch ever when she responded to Paris's description of her butt as gross by panning, "If Paris Hilton thinks my butt looks gross I really don't care. At least I have a butt." Exactly, Kim! Where did crazy Paris get off thinking that all the world loves a backless wonder?? Cheez!

This story was snatched from one of my new favorite blogs, BubbleGumPonys. Go visit and buy one of her I Love NY totes and check out her awesome self-made manicure.

Tonight, Claw Money will be celebrating the release of her Boosted case and bag collection in Los Angeles. The event starts at Barracuda and will continue later on at Bordello with performance by Devlin & Darko, Roxy Cottontail and a Special Guest.

Expect an A-List of guests at the event. Rumor also has it that Santogold will be at the event, just another reason to make it over there.

WWD shows already some trends for Fall 2008. It seems like once again black and white are back as the "it" colors and geometry gets mixed with rock' n ' roll, whatever that is supposed to mean! Read the article here.

The newly released Kate Moss Fragrance has arrived in the Colette online store.

"KATE is a multi-faceted and memorable floral-musk fragrance. Feminine, sophisticated, wild and unforgettable, a mix of elegant and risqué."

Sounds like something you should take a closer look it!

BlackGirlintheCity is a site you visit when you've done all the pretty pictures and you find yourself hankering for something a little more substantial. Words that'll actually make you think, ya know??

I linked to her hysterical recount of an encounter with a Marc-Jacobs-bag-owning idiot not long ago, but the story I'm linking to here is a little different. In it, she talks about shedding an ex. Like any good writer, she writes in layers and while she reveals what she believes are her own lessons, there's plenty of space between the lines for us to draw our OWN conclusions.

Here's an excerpt:

My ex has finally decided to move on.  Good for effing him!  Lol.  We were the best of friends with a strong history until true feelings got involved.  Its funny how people tend to be on their worse behavior when falling or being in love.

^^Dear BlackGirl: He so aint over you!

And as for her comment on Hillary, she said it, not me! And though I gave up using the word bitch as a 2008 resolution, I hafta admit Hill is pushing me to the damn edge!

Still missing you! 

While I'm traveling as promised, I left some posts for head blogger in charge, David, to put up. They're mostly going to be recs for other sites that I read regularly and who have also given us links love. It's the least I can do given that at the present moment don't have a list of links on our site. (Big fat hint, David: We would like a favorite sites list AND to have our comments back!!)

Here's an image from FemaleSneakerFiend, the all-time greatest site for ladies who love kicks, rivaled by none in all the land. It was founded and is run by Lori Lobenstine, who truely, and I know this to be a verifiable fact, has one of the biggest hearts in the world.

This image comes from "The Little Ones" gallery:

^^If this image doesn't AT LEAST make you smile to yourself then please leave this site now because you heart is composed of pieces of Antartic rock and we don't want you to freeze our site with the coldness of your gaze.

Miss you!

Can you tell I'm a little obsessed with RhiRhi lately? Because really, there is no good reason to post this photo up. Generally I at least stick with images in which she's wearing something fashionable. But this one? Nothing expcept for the fact that I love the color of her suit.

Listen, just consider it a gift. From me to all of you who appreciate a beautiful woman, whether you or male or female.

Hap tip to Flickr for the image.

Say what you will, it matters not a molecule. MiMi is a diva and she can wear whatever the hell she wants. When you have her voice, her number of classics and her longevity, you can do the same:

More images after the flip. On this page, we're dedicating our flashback Friday video to her days before she added on boobs and started straightening her hair within an inch of its life. If you're a young'n and listen to songs like "Touch My Body" and don't get what all the hype is about, this video of "If it's Over" explains it all. Watch for when Mariah actually giggles to herself, knowing she's about to completely chop it down.

Over at Ultimate-Rihanna there are new scans of RhiRhi from her Afro magazine (sorry, couldn't find the link) cover story. Within the story, she's wearing a dress that's stupid amazing. I hope whoever is hooking RhiRhi up with her fashion is being well compensated 'cause she deserves it for doing such a great job of setting this young woman so far apart from the pack just via her clothing choices alone. Not that I think RhiRhi is totally being constructed from the outside, but how she's being dressed is not small part of her image.  

^^Don't know who made the dress

Lunch break!
