Only white girls and Diddy attend these parties..I don't know why they keep sending me stuff. ENJOY!
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

HEY YALL!
29 July 2009 (US)
I'm not going..BECAUSE I HAVE SCHOOL. But hopefully a few of you cool kids will skip your thousand dollar classes to shimmy with celebs..swim in (FREE ) cocktails..and pity me for not being there. ENJOY! p.s. congrats Tu Phace!
Black in America
29 July 2009 (US)
I was originally going to ask that THIS be played after my graduation. But after a brief conversation with my birthmother this morning...I realized she deserved such a prestigious tune. Even though I whole heartily think she's pushing it enrolling my 6 year old sister in a Torturing Program at Rutgers University..it makes sense since she FAILED raising me. She still has 10 other kids she can experiment on so hopefully the fact that I hang with hood chicks and can't speak proper English won't be to embarrassing. I heart her..I really do, but finally at the age of 21 I know what a summer is really like...she's no Joe Jackson..but you catch my drift. I think I'm just bothered with the fact that my other sibling that was shipped of to boarding school has yet to return my texts, phone calls, telegrams..billboard signs...OH BROTHER, WHERE ART THOUGH? I tend to stalk him at times so I can understand the distance he's trying to create..but he's my mini me (minus the tantrums) and I miss him so. I'm trying to be a better member of my family, being that I am always out casted as the problem child, my presence is rarely missed. For example, I rang my grandmother last night and instead of gushing over her grandchild..she just questioned why I was working (mind you it was 10pm) and why I haven't found a suitable mate ( I'm sorry not all of us can marry kings). African's can be the worst sometimes, but as far as I see..their my only competition, and I LOVE IT. I'm taking this all in stride, because even though we have doctors, pastors, and royalty in the tree line. I think there's still room for someone as American as me.

WORK BAMMA!
28 July 2009 (US)
I had to drag my feet back on here..(don't judge). I've been chin deep in homework (which might not seem a lot because of my statue but it is...). Having to karate chop my way into one class which between you and I, I only made by the chin on my hair (sorry for all the body analogies). ANYWAY, I'm back..whether you like it or not. First order of business..SNEAKERPIMPS. Come on..you know my groupie behind was NOT going to stay home while..Malice..( is Pharrell coming?)..possibly Wale or even Mark Ronson show up. Ugh no. I'm going to be all in that, Diddy style. TAKE THAT, TAKE THAT. But even better then a lucrative deal as a rappers side piece, I'll be covering/ stalking Hussle Simmons with my lover (not really) Dan King. The work of a groupie is never done. sigh.oh..and before I forget. HB.BZ

That's All..folks
22 July 2009 (US)
Woe is me...I'm here living a life of absolute solidarity..no friends, no man, no work. And it is all to my doing. I've completely crashed and refuse to do anything other then read books and cook. I'm a spinster..and I hate it. Sadly this seems to be my only way of keeping the inkling of sanity I have. oh let the violins play. The only thing I'm looking forward to is the departure of that Cali bug i.e. midnight texts asking if "I can come over" and Ruth my cousin who I left in the jaws on death i.e. Emma's grubby hands. This weekend I hope to revisit my youthful. carefree self and find the pleasures on being of so single. Join me won't you.

B(l)ack in Action
17 July 2009 (US)
I said it before..and I'll say it again I amthe problem child in my family, flunking classes, choosing a "dumb" major, and dating irregular guys. BLACK SHEEP BLACK SHEEP HAVE YOU ANY WOOL? My ploy to win the favor, since I am their oldest, well one of the oldest (don't ask) always seems to get foiled by my inability to stay on the straight and narrow. Not that I don't think I deserve an award for putting up with this doddy universe, because I do. But when I look back and think about EVERYTHING I've received, which I really didn't deserve, it makes me want to stop shagging people, and dabbling in potent elixir. Yesterday, or should I say last night was one of the instances where I swore I would win their hearts...and its goes a little something like this. Heading to see Mr. Hudson aka my link to you know who..I was practically knocked down by an individuals bloody stare, normally my stank eye back tells them, I'm flattered you find me irresistible, but I'm not interested. AT ALL. But this one was determined to "wife" me by the end of the night...long story short. He did just that...sounds like my usual night right? WRONG..guess WHAT the icing on the cake was...HE.WAS./ IS.JEWISH. sigh...wait it gets better.. HE.IS.IN.GRAD.SCHOOL. and wait..it gets BETTER. HIS.SISTER.IS.A.MAG.EDITOR.IN.LONDONTOWN. The only downside is that he leaves to go back to California next week..which is fine by me..Birthmom, meet your new son-in-law.

London 2008
- 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.
