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

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.
