Keys Open Doors
- Van de la Plante
Sheldon was lucky enough to chance upon a vintage eye wear store called Hotel de Ville. The store itself boasted an eclectic collection of vintage frames. Antique furniture gave the store a laid back classic feel while in the center of the store two chairs and a coffee table provided clients with a casual glass of scotch and fine cigar, all while discussing their optical options. - i/denti/tee
So let's just say..your favorite lyrics magically appeared on one of your most comfortable tees. And let's say the packaging came in an innovative vinyl cover with all the bells and whistles, including but not limited to free music downloads courtesy of iTunes. No this isn't the future, just i/denti/tee. Your new go to label for the most inspiring phrases Jay-Z, Bob Marley, and U2 have serenaded us with. Yes I said serenaded. - DJ EXCEL
As The Killers once sang..We hope you enjoyed your stay It’s good to have you with us, even if it’s just for the day..thankfully we had Excel for a little longer even though as always I was last to know that Philadelphia had one of the best DJ's in this country spinning locally. SMH if you were under the same rock as me. - SECRET SOCIETY
I have FINALLY meet my match. Yeps you heard right hands are down, wit is drawn. These youngersters surprise me at every corner. New York must just have different water. For more information do the usual and follow the link above, and ALWAYS remember I before C except after SECRET. - Hustle Simmons
My favorite attributes in the entire world is being humble and creative. I scored when I was introduced to Hussle Simmons a musical littérateur, and friend of a friend. Don't you love how that just happens? - Format Boutique
Format carries lines such as Twelve Bar, Staple, Animal..oh and NIKE. DUH! But all jokes aside I am tre impressed with the layout, marketing scheme, and owners of this store. Queens must be proud. - STUSSY
You'll be kicking yourself later for not getting familiarized with this label. Not that it needs any more hype, but it's been given the Petite stamp of approval, non refundable of course. - Phil Leon
Don't you wish some one told you about Deep Sleep before you spent all your heard earned cash at H&M "throwing" together an outfit. Well I'm going to save you from making the same mistakes I did in my youth. The mecca for all things Wrath Arcane, Nooka, Steven Shein and more. - Linda Symth
The perfect accessory and defense mechanism in one, what more can a girl ask for. These conversation pieces go with every night out, first date, and post traumatic breakup. Sad but true. - tU pHAce
Awh man. Entertainer, singer, and rapper tU pHAce has broken the genre barrier with his melodic beats and soul stirring lyrics. His style not only resonates in your ears, but has the mind pumping to the same hook. I suggest the whole playlist. Start to finish. - Rah Crawford
Rah Crawford has recently collaborated with author Paul Von Sarjay, on the novel TONGUES: THE AWAKENING, producing art work for the cover and storyline. His exhibition titled I AM A MAN can also be seen at the MoCADA Museum the 25th of Sept. Brooklyn stand up. - Jaimz Deen
Hope your ready for the sound check revolution. If not, prepare yourself with a daily dosage of Jaimz Deen. - ?uestlove
Every sneaker was sold out that night, but maybe if your lucky someone, somewhere has an extra one they'll sell. Once your done daydreaming check out UBIQ's page for kicks you can actually get your hands on - Anthony Henderson
Anthony is currently working on Philadelphia's Fashion Week which will be nothing less then impressive. Philly Fashion Week is the 19th, 20th, and 21st of Sept. - Bela Shehu
Bela Shehu is currently the Senior Designer for Zahra Saeed, but one can easily own a piece of her jewelry line Agony featured on Etsy.com - Robin Dutt
Robin is currently collaborating with MONOGRAPH, his books are also available on AMAZON under his given name - Chester French
Okay I'm really feeling the track "She loves Everybody" and I'm an indie junkie myself but this group steps out of the normal circle by referencing dimes and fattys in the track "People". Pure hilarity but don't take my word for it

Awh Boy!
5 July 2009 (US)
So when I was living like a nomad for a week (thanks AI) me and the boys (most of them are grown men) went to see our friend ( my former lover..I kid) Assad. Needless to say we all know I don't frequent many events and the fact that I actually enjoyed myself...well I guess that's enough said. I'm proud of this kid so jump on that bandwagon...NOW!

Is it me...or IS EVERYONES BLOG STARTING TO LOOK LIKE MINE? I don't take it as flattery..just straight jocking and you're making me work harder..which I DON'T like to do.........pause.stop.breath. Okay, I'm over it. Sooooo, I'm still in Phialdelphia, sleeping at Phil's cause all my "friends' are wanksters erh! Either way, I am slightly enjoying myself eventhough I still have to work..work...work. Speaking of, I took ALL the money in my account because i am very admanet about not paying my bills and just going to jail. How responsible right? No I kid, I took all the funds out to pay cash direct..I'm sick of checks, I'm sick of cards, I'm now dealing with cold hard cash I got from my father (don't judge)...you know I can't even type right now..my heads not on straight and even though nothings really "wrong" I'm kidna out of it..be back when I figure it out (suckahs).

TOUCH DOWN!
30 June 2009 (US)
..or should I say UK. Ruth is here and I'm playing ambassador from Jersey City...go figure. I'm also still slaving for my birthmom so I'm double employed. Sadly school starts soon as from the sound of it I may be looking forward to repeating a class or two due to my loyal dedication to Superdope and other indie happenings. Oh well, leave and let live I say. Ruth will be here for 2 months and even though I will be in and out of two states I plan on showing her the BEST of each starting with our local mall and ending with a night at Applebees (where hopefully she's willing to go dutch). I'm actually a bit nervous for the upcoming weeks, with this being my last quarter in school, not entirely sure of my future, and still in a kinda committed albeit unusual "coupling" with my boi. Oh and not that THIS helps my career at all..but we'll look past that. ANYWHI, I am slowly shedding this phase where I have pure apathy for anyone and anything, I am getting older and I realized responsibility it a blessing..not a curse (erh I sound like birthmom) but I'm pacing myself so hopefully by the time term starts I'll be back to my anal retentive self.

Best Week Ever
28 June 2009 (US)
That is until Icrawled out from under the rock I was hiding under and witnessed the world was quickly coming to and end. Example 1. This morning my birthmom kinda sorta admitted stealing my father from another women. Of course this revelation was shared while getting ready for morning service in which I gasped not out of surprise of her actions, but rather the fact that she would admit to sinning ( if you haven't heard, the women thinks shes a saint). erh...shes actually yapping in my ear as I type so bear with me.....okay. Example 2. My bf (bestfriend) is STILL dating white meat. Not that there is anything wrong with that...I actually had my own swirl account from Kindergarten to 8th grade...but I mean the girl refuses ADAMANTLY to date a brotha ( while I am conveniently trying to date hers). Example 3. While trying to pay some of my bills off I decided to clean some bathroom..the employee's bathroom..of my fathers company..so there you go. I don't even think anymore examples are needed after the last one. The world is ending, and I'm missing Philly...count down to a meteor or angel Gabrielle drop kicking everyone to oblivion about...NOW!

Between Friends
24 June 2009 (US)
I AM GOING TO AFRO-PUNK WITH THESE PEOPLE..can't wait. No I take that back I can wait cause due to my neglegence and my birthmom back stabbing( why would you give them my cellphone number..WHY?) my creditors are on my tail..so after I pay about 1 million rupies to Macys, Express, and Quizons..yess I have a Quiznos store card( don't judge)..I'll be back on the scene. So for now, I'll have to swipe something from my roomates closet..breaking and entering never looked so good.

Try Try Again
23 June 2009 (US)
Erh..life! I'm sitting here "at work" not doing work...whats new? I lugged my behind all the way back to Philly for what? I could have easily stayed home and went to the "office" made a few dollars, swiped a free lunch, and myspaced twittered all day. But NO! for some reason I thought it made sense to wake up at 6(am) take a shower (at least I did that) and ride public transportation to a job I LOATH. Well it sounded good at the time, but now that I'm in the city..hiding out ( I look like who done it after taking my extensions out). I'll only be here for 3 days being that Emma graduates on Friday. Sidebar: I wasn't really to to hyped to see her graduate but this mornings events should make Friday all the more interesting. Reason being that Emma woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and being that shes the youngest child in the Anglaise household she gets away with murder (she usest to have atwin) ANYWHI...birthmom was NOT having it today so when Emma continued to "disobey" my mom towel whipped her...my father..who normally is mute decided to threaten my birthmother with bodily harm if she ever did that to his baby again...I almost DIED..of laughter. There is something seriously wrong when an African father stands up for his kids while their getting rebuked. FYI I don't remember him ever doing that for me...but he did manage to remind me that he I still have the money I was suppose to foot for his Father's Day bill...that's when I turned mute. I think it's tacky to discuss my lack on funds...but I didn't say anything considering he gave me enough allowance to buy a pack of gum. I guess that explains why I'm here..working. Instead of living it up in the suburbs which I had planned. Cheapness runs in the bloodline..so if I want something I have to slave for someone else...but don't cry for me. Birthmom has redeemed herself with at least one member of her child army (ME) and has FINALLY landed me a job with father..in the next 3 months. Pray for me.

- Does one’s environment transcend into an individual dress code. Some say yes, other's no. This much heated debate is common among fashion circles where the daily task of putting on garments, accessories, and exploiting ones features, is an event in itself. Not one to judge, I leave it to the most educated fashion critiques. Enjoy.

Unless it's Brand NEW
- ABAKUS TAKEOUT
Here's another sneaker hole in the wall joint that I just recently heard about...sorry I'm late but it's was definitely worth the anticipation. I like the whole "theme" of the store and website and totally "get" what their saying..oh who am I kidding anything incorporated with food has my heart..and wallet. - Club 49
This place is not only uber quant..but uber friendly..like all retail spaces in London it's also extra cosy but I guess that helps with the vibe not to mention the club's exclusivity. Ladies flirt flirt flirt with everyone at the door..men just wait in line. - El Vez
Now that I'm back in the City of Brotherly Violence, I am yearning for a Nacho Mama. A plus of eating at this Mexican theme restaurant is that amount of eats you get for what you pay. I'm a fan. Everyone I associate with is a fan. How can you go wrong. - KOKO
Ofcourse the good stuff rolls around when I'm about to leave..but no worries as KOKO offers musical treats year round. They've recently partnered up with iTunes to host a plethora..yes plethora of talents. Just recently peeped the N.E.R.D show minus Chad...j/k - LOOKBOOK
I don't usually write about other sites, considering my fear of competition, or lack of. But I couldn't hid this from my loyal readers so here it is. A little something to help you pick out the first day of school outfit or a winning your long lost love, for the night, back. - RAW
Maki fever has hit me heard and let's just say I'm in no hurry to cure it. Potentially copious amount of raw fish can be harmful, but whose worrying about that when it taste oh so good. - SILK CITY
I'm going to be honest, I don't go here to eat. Yet who has time for that when you're grinding to some heavy rotation. For those who are over the pickup club scene this hipster lounge is the place to be at. I recommend Thursday nights but then again feel free to wear your welcome out any other night. - The Gourmet Burger
Okay so this is the place I've been raving about and spending most of my time at. It's a really simple yet decandent restaurant with self-serve components that give it a less hyped up feel. The price point can't be beat in terms of what you pay for and the milshakes including the food are literally out of this world. I recommend the Avacado Bacon. Perfect for any foodie. - The Wallace Collection
When I first walked in the immediate thought was..Kimora's house is definitely bigger then this. But what The Wallace Collection features, Kimora could never get her hands on. The personal diaries of the residents and the sex calendar of a certain Queen, just to name a few items. People really lived in pure opulence back then and for a few hours you can imagine you do to. - TOPSTITCH
Okay okay I interned there, but not all interns live to tell their tell. Mine of course turned out to be life altering. A little deep but what else can I say to describe a group of ladies who helped cultivate the existence of petite anglaise. Plus their merchandise..well just ask Santagold.
