We like ? Or we don’t care?

^^Prada eyewear

I kinda adore the shape, they’re a little dark color-wise, but I could deal.  ‘Course no way in hell I’ll ever own a pair given my propensity for misplacing everything, but I reserve the right to ponder the possibilities.

Getting a cup of joe, brb (If you haven’t noticed, today’s theme is page pulls from the latest glossies.)

In the post before this one I was complaining about how Glamour’s “after” photos are always so contained looking. Then I go and open up the latest issue of MissBehave and lo and behold, damned if they weren’t reading my mind!

^^It’s poom-poom shorts time!

If you’re starting to obsess over bathing suits, take note that this month’s issue of Glamour is, too. They do that whole Glamour thing where they try and help you find the right suit for your size and that includes showing women before (in their chosen suits) and after (in Glamour’s suits). What Glamour fails to realize–or pretends to fail to realize–is that a lot of us CHOOSE to wear a bathing suit that our ass/boobs hang out of. We don’t want a suit that covers our curves and makes us look tasteful, i.e. stale and b-o-r-i-n-g. We are not striving to be classy, rather, on most days, just trying to let our inner sexy shine.

All that being said, the editorial shoot was pretty sharp. Here’s one of my faves:

 ^^I don’t know how great the suit is, but the photographer made it look good, plus she’s wearing some hot-hot-hot Sigerson Morrison sandals.

You all are gonna be sick of me by the end of this day,

DJ Billy Jam of WFMU recently interviewed one of our faves, TooFly, along with the legendary legendary Lady Pink, plus Muck and Dona, all four who are collaborators in a current installation at Bronx Museum called “Activism is Never Done” (aint that the damn truth!). Karla Murray, co-author of graffiti books “Burning New York” and “Broken Windows” was also there.

You can check out the archived show here.

^^DJ Billy Jam and the rest of the crew

^^This is why we love her.

I’m back in New York. Yeh!

I missed you!!!!

I’m in one of the moods in which Mass Appeal magazine, which should know better, calling young women “girls” gets me very irritated. In terms of how anti-woman it is on a scale of one-to-ten, ten being killing baby girls, I’d put calling 18-year old females girls at a .0003, but like I said, one of those moods. (Hypocrisy disclosure: If I researched back through my own posts here, it would probably take me all of five minutes to discover I’ve done the exact same thing.)

p.s. I’ve been traveling (and Samia’s on vacation!!) thus the light posting. I was tempted to photograph my outfit yesterday and have that constitute a post, but I haven’t yet reached that level of desperation.

Gwen Stefani is launching a perfume line, it was announced in WWD today. It will launch in the fall and is being projected to eventually gross 30 mil. < ---(gawd damn!)

Gwen has forever-and-a-day-love status for me because of her days as frontwoman for No Doubt, not to mention the existence of the heartbreak classic “Don’t Speak.” I still to this day like/admire her, but I’ve always thought the whole Harajuko Girls thing was kind of dumb. When Margaret Cho went off on her about it and described the concept as “a minstrel show,” I figured Gwen would give it a rest, but nope, she kept it ride or die and as you can see in the image above, the bottles of perfume are even modeled after them.

Oh well, make that $$$ Gwen.

Feel like a little flash-back Friday? Here’s the video classic “Don’t Speak” (So please stop explaining!)

The opening for the Murakami show at Brooklyn Museum was last night and looky-loo and who was there! None other than the devil herself!!

^^She probably helicoptored in and landed on the roof of the museum to avoid driving through the streets of Brooklyn so she wouldn’t have to hurt her eyes gazing upon humans—gasp!!–who don’t make a gazillion dollars/year. That’s Marc on the right of course. He did another bag collabo with Murakami and it launched in conjunction with opening night.

And if you weren’t there, don’t feel bad (even though it would have been fun to see Kanye perform no matter what). Look at the pictures after the fold and you’ll see that launch night parties at museums are filled with boring-ass people who have the social skills of hamsters. I’m NOT lying. Seriously.

There are some new arrivals at Kendo (the only sneaker boutique dedicated strictly to the ladies that I know of) that are worth checking out. Here were two of my faves:

^^Solid Gold! Nike Dunks

^^Ice Ice Baby Blue Dunks

It’s Friday, but raise your hand if that means nothing more than the day before another day you have to work your ass off, whether it’s doing laundry piled up from two weeks or putting in time at that second hustle. Oh look, nobody’s NOT raising their hands. Damn.

Still love ya,

Louboutin remains the designer brand of choice these days among starlettes, as exhibited at a recent award show for which both Cam and Ashlee wore the same pair of Loubies, albeit in different colors. Neiman’s is selling them in hot pink, which I’ve always been a total sucker for. Samia thinks it reflects my girly side, but I don’t think so. I kinda think flourescent shades in general are too powerful to be femmy. Hookerish maybe, but not girly.

^^At Neiman’s, these babies’ll set you back a mere $645. No doubt by end of summer, everyone will have knocked these off, but by then the look will have lost its luster.

^^Ashlee’s works an orange on orange carpet theme. (I don’t know why, but for some reason I like this chick. It makes no sense to me at all, but oh well, some things are best left a mystery.)

^^Cam chose white. I love this woman’s ability to pull an outfit together. This is a female who doesn’t need a stylist. But just like I don’t know why I like Ashlee, it also seems like a lot of guys DON’T like Cam.  Weird.

p.s. You guys are hilarious. I mentioned a couple of days ago that I don’t know how to work our MySpace page, and natch, I open our email and there’s half a dozen people looking to be added as friends. To the moon with all of ya!

Okay, right from the get go, FULL DISCOLOSURE, I picked up this story from MediaTakeOut. They spotted it up first. The images I got from Wire.

Now that that’s out of the way, ‘member the other day how I mentioned the hideous hoody that Chris Brown had to wear to the Nickelodeon Award show? Well, you can see it here, but that’s not why I’m posting this. The fun part of his outfit is the half of a handcuff he’s wearing on his wrist:

^^That’s Sean Kingston on his left

I’ll give you one guess as to who’s wearing the other half of his hand cuff. And yeah, I’m gonna make you click through to the other side to see!
