MAKE IT WORK



My Final4

Growing up before I knew cable, I had Miss America, Miss USA and all of that other pageantry bullshit. I used to predict the winners @ the beginning based on looks and personality and wait it out to see if I would come close. It's the same w.PR {I told you this joint is one of my many obsessions}. Although I like to ride it out 'til the end, the 1st episode is usually all I need to determine who's in or out!

AUF WEDERSEN!


Let the countdown begin! My favorite reality show ever returns {quicker than I anticipated} although I wanted to cut them off after...

And again when...


Bravo showed they ass when they dropped this joint, but wtf is up wit' Shear Genius {she gags} and the fake ass hairstylists. I mean, don't the producers know the best come from Bmore. Shit they could've even pulled my girl Marisa from Split Ends or that tatted dude Sandy wit' the bone in his nose. But enough of the fraudulent. Set your reminders, I know where I'll be come next Weds.

YO HATIN'


"In order for you to win the election, you must first ignore any deflection my expression might've caused you to assert your manly erection."

No for real, I would like for all of the so-called Black activists, professors, congressmen & women {who don't do shit but talk talk talk} to have a seat in the corner, circumventing around the issues, always tryna get a lil' airtime. The ranting and empty rhetoric of ghosts from Christmas past is just that-a thing of the past. Jesse, you're a fuckin' hater, period. You couldn't make the ticket then and you're salty. Air dry, bitches.

Let us not forget how Farrakhan plotted against Malcolm...

LOOK WHO JOGGED THRU THE BRAIN

Last night we all had a hearty laugh when I broke out into one of my many impersonations, "CITA!!! It's Cita big baby." Omg I used to love that show. Eff Perez, MissCita was the first real blogger. Hidden behind a gotdamn computerized anime who could swing her neck and hips, she said all the things we were thinking. Uddarum, they should've kept her in the BET lineup because she kept that shit funky and swazzy, jonesin' on the artists behind her video countdown. {will the gum poppers please bow your heads for a moment of silence}

YOU CAN DO IT TOO

Yo, I luv this lil' boy I swear I do, but why does every article and mixtape have to announce to us peasants that MrWilliams has this eclectic taste when it comes to high fashion? Like, he's this martian whose goal is to enlighten us on what's fashionably acceptable. Boy, have a seat! No, for real especially wit' that purple Haut a Courroies Hermes bag that you can't pronounce. Author of Bling, Erica Kennedy asks him the price. "That would be tacky," Phareal responds, but then goes on to tell us that one would run as much as a high-end Mercedes.


Underneath his yearning to time travel to the crack era, he is one of hip-hop's genius, but my favorite was the photo shoot. Either my bookie was suffering from allergies or he finally came down with that gay man's gaze, {you've seen it} when the eyes seem to have this layer of satin dreaminess. And while I enjoyed his commentary on the Lebron/Gisele cover, wtf is up with this constant urge to namedrop he & MissWintour's "boy toy" relationship. You and he got enough airtime in the Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton doc. We see you and the verdict's in: You're on some ova shit.

SMUDGED INK FROM THE PERIODICAL CAPSULE

I have this sick addiction to magazines. Thousands of them sit tucked away in boxes and plastic tubs waiting to be chronicled in this huge periodical room that I've envisioned for myself. As I get younger I accumulate more bullshit, wondering what wiseguy will come along and create the magazine connoisseurs version of youtube. Usually if I'm buying a mag it's for the cover. Today I came across Fashion Rocks Magazine w. J-Lo on the cover and wondered why I was holding on. In this case I had lifted it from the nail salon strictly for the feature on one of my favorite hip-hop couples and their promise to reveal themselves through reality tv. You see, magazines are little treasures because words are valuable and I love to look back on history, kind of how a DJ collects vinyl. Well, Mr. & Mrs. Jones it's been a year and I'm still waiting.

FOR YOUR DOWNLOADING PLEASURE


  Neo Soul Is Dead? Yea, that's what I thought too when I hadn't heard anything new from Philly's finest by way of Liverpool. I was shocked to learn that Floetry had gone to Splittsville. But if you're like me, you'll take 'em separately than not @ all. Follow the drip and listen to her mixtape, I swear she can flow over anyfuckin'beat. MissMarshaAmbrosius (8.08) will continue to perform under the Floetry name while Nat will entertain as "The Floacist". Too bad, their show was off the meters. Adieu Adieu...

GREEN IS A BEAUTIFUL THING


I'm no stranger to the green. And I think it's fabo that the world is adopting the "Go Green" motto.  My latest obsession is the Green channel and their greenovation episodes. If you've downsized to basic like me, you can watch it online @ planetgreen (see > link). Today me & Gayle went to a workshop in Arlington, VA sponsored by the Arlingtonians for a Clean envoironment (ACE). Thanks for the public invite for there's nothing like seeing in person. These pics were taken on the roof of a condo building. How awesome! Something to consider when you do your next roof renovation:

Conserves energy
Improves air quality
Provides insulation
Extends the life of the roof while minimizing UV & Temp impact
Dramatically reduces storm water run-off & flow rate
Reduces cost over the life of the roof
Suppresses noise, reducing interior sound levels
