I've got mixed feeling about this Kanye issue ..


When Kanye first pulled that stunt on Taylor Swift I thought it was full as shit. I mean come on, he's known for his antics at award shows, his blog, shit even that hurricane relief fund that was broadcasted on national television. When you pay attention solely to Kanye and disregard Taylor the footage is a riot. I'm just a big lover of ballsy people. Shoot me. We all made the twitter jokes and retweeted everyone's jokes. I don't know about you but about 80% of the people I follow thought it was funny as well.

I began to wonder how Taylor allowed Kanye to grab the mike from her in the first place. Taylor is 19 years old, I knew how to defend myself from bullies at age 7. Maybe even younger then that thanks to my 2 older brothers. If it was me in that position, no one would have gotten that close to me that wasn't apart of my entourage. This is MY moment. Kanye is always up to no good and I'm 3 steps ahead of you. It's funny how Kanye has lost to plenty of artists but he didn't rush the stage to interrupt their speech. Yet he does it on Beyonce's behalf? Would he have done this if Suge Knight was accepting an award? He know who he's able to get away with that kind of behavior with. Any other person wouldn't have hesitated to smack him silly. So, the aftermath rolls around to the next day and everyone is upset at Kanye. I replayed the clip. Paused.

I stopped looking at Kanye for a moment and payed attention to Taylor. The expression on her face was so sad. I felt horrible. then the reports came out - "This was her first award." "She was the first country singer to receive a VMA." I felt even worse. Taylor also did a guest appearance on The View. I had to check that out because, now i'm obsessed with her. She said "It was really wonderful to see people out there defending me so I didn't have to" WTF!!! This whole incident completely flew over her head. TAYLOR YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO STAND UP FOR YOURSELF!!! YOU NEED TO BE STRONG FOR YOURSELF!!! You can't expect everyone to do your dirty work for you.



I'm happy that Kanye apologized, I felt the sincerity. But Taylor didn't learn shit. Hope this doesn't happen to her again. Home girl needs to take a self defense class or something. something that makes her feel empowering.

Designer Spotlight : Miss Wax

Miss Wax?
That's the name of a unique and mod accessory line originating from the brain of Kylee Fauss (head designer). She uses scrap vinyl records to produce her earrings, rings and necklaces. This San Diego native is inspired by 50's, 60's, hip hop and even New York's transportation system. If I could describe her collections past or present it would definitely be labeled "quirky." Kylee started her line in Fall 2006 from her basement and has since ventured out to Japan, Philippines and Canada.

Love, love, love the slip dresses. I love how it's just a splash of lace; it gives the appearance that you are floating. It even looks so in the photos. Surprisingly, the thigh high boots that everyone is swooning over are VEGAN.

ID Magazine's PYT Issue



They look like they had a good time. Amazing how times have changed, I doubt 10 years ago 4 black models would get along so well. Competition made them brutal towards one another. You can view the photos here

50 Cent chats with Robert Greene about their upcoming book

I've read all of Robert Greene's books except War. Robert doesn't disappoint. I'm a bit skeptical about a collab with 50 though. How much of a role did 50 play in the book writing process? Can we certify him as an author? Check out the interview for yourself. The book is call FEAR



The book is scheduled to be released Sep. 8th

Get READY TO WINE..



So today is the day of the West Indian Day Parade. I'm super excited. If you are in New York, I recommend you come out and enjoy yourself. You'll get a chance to witness West Indian people of all shades and colors, taste different yet delicious food and enjoy some great music. My culture embraces all outsiders so even if you are of West Indian heritage come and have fun. Over 3.5 million people attend ever year.

Labor Day Necessities

  • Water
  • Walking shoes
  • Sunblock and Umbrella
  • A chair (if you are planning on sitting and just watching)
  • Camera (for all the memories)
  • A secure backpack to close all these things
  • Cash (the outdoor vendors sell food, cd's and memorabilia and they only accept cash)

Some people don't bring anything in fear of losing it. Depending on how long you are planning on enjoying the festivities, carrying these can become tiring; so choose wisely if you want to take on the burden of a bag.


If you decide to come, here are some people you'll be accompanied by

Masqueraders





They march in front of whatever band you want to jump up in.































Moko Jumbies or Moco Jumbies

Moko is supposed represent an African god and Jumbie is a West Indian term for ghost. To read more about these animated stilt dancers click here.


Jab Jabs




Now I don't know if "Jab Jabs" are only in Grenada because when I was searching for photos and info the only Grenada came up on search engines. No doubt they will be at the parade though. No matter what color they are painted in STAY AWAY FROM THEM!! They throw powder and water and if you don't like getting messy stand clear. My mother told me once the throwing of water and powder symbolizes riddance of evil spirits. It's ironic to me some dress like devils. Well I guess some things aren't meant to be understood.
