Fall 2012 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

One of the best times of the year alongside my birthday, Black Friday, and Christmas flares once more; NYC FASHION WEEK!!! Yet again, the invitations were distributed for celebrities to descend upon the tents at Lincoln Center for the biggest fashion designer shows. 
The "Concrete Jungle" as Alicia Keys sung, is the palace of bright lights, dreams, and most vital - fashion. The feeling you summon as you step foot into the city, embodies an orgasm. In a less sexier feel! 
Anywho, take a look at what's happening over in New York City:
 Jessica White with Max Azria for the BCBG show.
 Interesting choice! Love the FUR...

Angela Simmons & Aisha Tyler posed with designer Tadashi Shoji

fascinating choker/belt Angela!
June Ambrose stops for a flick.
Model Liya Kebede relaxed in a cute cream blouse & striped pants.
Theophilus London is ripped at amfAR NY Gala.

One year, me and my own little paparazzi crew made our way our to the Big Apple, though never made it pass a single entry door to the events. Even so, we directly patched it up with such names: Michelle Williams (Destiny's Child), Adrienne Baillon, Kristen Stewart, Julia Stiles, Rachel Zoe, catwalk models & more. The next chance I pride my way to the city, will be to gape front row....PINKY SWEAR

Petition to 'Rid' Ellen as Spokeswoman

Daytime talk-show host and comedian, Ellen DeGeneres has caught sight of antagonists for abiding as the spokeswoman for JC Penny Co Inc. Various people of the American Family Association, "One Million Moms" formed a reprisal by beseeching to purge her position, for being a lesbian. Proudly, the President of the company referred to DeGeneres as "one of the most fun and vibrant people in entertainment today, with great warmth and a down-to-earth attitude". Adamantly, he stood by her side despite the negative critics. From scoping out her TV show, I can concur Ellen is a welcoming woman, embedded with potency and love. The act of granting individuals in poverty happiness, comes blatantly from her heart.

 GLAAD (gay and lesbians group) revengefully solicited their very own petition averse to the beliefs of her indignant anti-gay rival, "One Million Moms" and gained 25,000 signatures exalting Ellen. Publicly, Ellen retaliated with this statement, "Normally I try not to pay attention to my haters, but this time I’d like to talk about it cause my haters are motivators." Very True! When characters want to watch you fail, that becomes a carrot to be greater. Moreover, during her show she comically chaffed, "This organization doesn’t think that I should be the spokesperson because I’m gay. For those of you are just tuning in for the first time, it’s true. I’m gay. I hope you were sitting down!” At least, she acquires a sense of humor of the whole quandary. 

In closing, DeGeneres can gloat seeing that JC Penny Co. have decided not to nullify the spokeswoman seat and prolong her duty.

Q: Perhaps, when will the natives of America quit pushing racism, sexism, sexual orientation, etc. as a beacon of an unlawful bustle, when greater deeds are at bigger stake?

Zimbabwe Forsee Tobacco Boost



Farmers of Zimbabwe, Africa have potentially reached their luck as the tobacco in the country has improved by a 15% incline. Tobacco is a probable cash crop for valuable foreign exchanges, and flows coherently with the city's tropical weather. Therefore, it is an enormous currency provider. The natural kilogrammes is 131 and has expected a jump of 150. Brazil and United States experienced a downfall in output, which places Zimbabwe ahead. Contrary to the states, it is illegal to grow tobacco on your property. They MUST be rejoicing over there!

Reunited & it "Sounds" so GOOD..


Veteran and powerhouse vocalists, Brandy and Monica have connected again for another duet subsequent to 14 years, since their 1998 Grammy-winning punch, “The Boy Is Mine”. The Rico Love-produced track, “It All Belongs To Me” is R&B mixed with pop elements being a crossover for the duo. Nevertheless, their voices sound impeccable and collectively have orchestrated a second winner. This occasion, the couple are not competing for the same man, instead ditching him.  
When a photo of the two mothers in the studio surfaced Twitter, equally their fan base were placed in an enigma questioning another partnership? Happily so, our wish has arisen. Monica Brown (wife of NBA star, Shannon Brown) has done a job of dropping two singles – The Notorious B.I.G sample “Anything (To Find You)” and firm ballad “Until It’s Gone” from her upcoming seventh record, New Life. Wale is said to make a guest appearance as well. The LP hits the store racks, April 10th.
Conversely, the “Moesha” star who signed onto the cast of BET hit-series “The Game” is said to formulate a vast R&B comeback and the anticipation keeps me apprehensive. With a glob of brilliant artists lending a hand, including Sean Garrett, Rico Love, Bangladesh, Frank Ocean and Chris Brown, she's bound to distribute great substance. I yearn for this fresh new LP to splatter my brains with combustion of heavy-hitters. The yet-to-be titled album is slated for a June release date.


Pleased to see these classy women deposit their alleged differences and reunite. 
"It All Belongs To Me" shall appear on both artists forthcoming projects. Well-done ladies!


When we seen them together last; CLASSIC

Superbowl XLVI

The 2012 NFL Superbowl XLVI featuring the New England, Patriots and New York, Giants, who took center field in an Indianapolis stadium to battle an intensifying-close match, broke records capturing 111.3 million viewers. American Idol's first champ, the benevolent Kelly Clarkson in a black sophisticated dress and straightforward bang, pinned the National Anthem with her soaring voice. New York called tails on the coin toss, and landed on heads giving the New England the ball. First quarter was intriguing as both teams went in for the kill, though New York lead first with ten points. Next, New England rebelled on their own 4-yard line, with 4:03 remaining in the first half. Brady promptly conjured a magnificent, 14-play, 96-yard touchdown drive. Brady was 10 for 10 on the drive, with a final 4-yard scoring pass to Danny Woodhead. 8 seconds left on the clock before halftime, the Patriots forefront after conquering a touchdown, 10-9.
Regularly, the famed hysterically-theatrical directed commercials aired, in addition to impending films heading for the box office.

Halftime show incorporated acts such as, headliner/legend Madonna who still appears effortless, joined by vivacious rap lyricist Nicki Minaj and singer M.I.A who has really been missing in action. The three ladies performed their track "Give Me All Your Luvin", while the camera delayed in fuzzing out M.I.A's distasteful hand gesture; flipping the bird. Also, the entertainer sung a medley of hits aside a herd of cheerleaders with pompoms and a marching band. Later, in a sequenced-robe, talented singer Cee-Lo linked with icon on the stage. Apparently, Madonna was lip-syncing the entire time over prerecorded vocals, balancing with the choreography. This did not catch me by surprise though. Astonishing mechanisms closed the performance, spelling out along the field, "World Peace". 
Hernadez 81 scored a touchdown early in the third at 11:20.
The Patriots took the first drive of the third quarter and went 79 yards, Brady exhausted Giants defense following with a series of passes. A 12-yard touchdown brought the board to 17-9 New England. Giants eventually triggered field goals putting the Patriots behind by 2 points with 15. 

Mario Manningham made a great, toe-tapping 38-yard grab placing New York on the 50. Giants player, Blackburn intercepted the ball at 14 minutes in the 4th quarter.
Ahmad Bradshaw swerved his way through both teams eight plays later, and teasingly sat down on the end zone after achieving a touchdown. Vividly, the game was finished, when receiver Deion Brance missed the last catch to score.


Final-21 NY GIANTS, 17 NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
The Giants were completely overwhelmed as they shared germs, kissing the trophy.
Good news for quarterback MVP Eli Manning, he not only won the tournament, furthermore received a 2013 Corvette awaiting on the grass to be driven out the lot.

In my opinion, everyone is winner because all players snag nice elephantine checks! $$$

Adorn.

LOVE THIS HAIRCUT!
Some probe on his sexuality whereas, others critique his creativity as a crooner, but in my eyes Miguel exemplifies satisfactory. Yet, he still is underrated. The debut album “All I Want From You” from beginning to closing credits was impeccable without having to skip a track. Meanwhile, tonight had me in jubilation, when I savored in the sound of an abstract and flirty “Adorn”. Although, lied one little spec as the song is constricted into barely two and a half minutes. On the other hand, Miguel music tends to stray from contemporary, hackneyed-sexualizing jams on the radio and I salute his notion to a psychedelic exterior. The verity of being different can be so powerful.
Ahead for the singer is a series of EPs, starting with Art Dealer Chic Vol.1, while he preps for the sophomore undertaker.

Click & quench your thirst with the mixtape’s great opener, Adorn.
 
Miguel is musically inclined shaped all the way around, being the record-producer and writer of songs for acts like Usher, Asher Roth and Musiq Soulchild. On top of that, he is a fine guitarist.
"Think electronic hip-hop meets classic rock meets great songs", as he described the base for the next album. Now, whether his second LP sales perform moderately, numbers could never dictate one's talent.
Artwork for upcoming project, dropping February 27th.

Happy Black History Month.

Apple is Everlasting.

Eternally, technology will be one sector of the world bound to enhance in any way doable. The Co-founder and CEO of AppleSteve Jobs passed away October of last year and with his void, business is continuously booming with brand-new devices and gadgets exposed every jiffy. Yesterday, Amazon let the bug out, insinuating an iPad 3 could be within our reach, when they added two handy books (tools for iPad 3 instructions) to their European website. The supposed date for the release is slated for mid-March. I read, this invention includes a faster system module instilled as if, the other iPads devoid that characteristic. This proposal in my opinion bemuses investors and is a pecuinary opportunity for the Apple Co. It's biased to theorize another appliance will come out momentarily, because of the repetitive cycle. More power to Steve Jobs for beginning this novelty, which suggest no time of settling down shortly.

Jobs was recently named the second greatest innovator of all time, in line behind Thomas Edison (creator of the light bulb, camera, phonograph) listed in the Edison 2012 Lemelson-MIT Invention Index.

His family does not have to worry about a DIME!

Soul Train Innovator Pulls Trigger.

At 4 a.m Wednesday evening, police discovered the body of the man incumbent of the 35 year-run of the universal, legendary TV show/platform for music and dance, Soul Train. Don Cornelius committed suicide with a self-inflicted gunshot to the head in his Los Angeles home. For awhile, he'd been battling health disputes and speculations proclaimed this may have caused Don's audacious and sinister decision. Everyone at BET, celebrities all over the world and Twitter were touched, sending their condolences. Death is never easy coping with, especially when life is taken in this mannerism. The loss of the pioneer, leaves an immense damper on our culture.

"He brought soul music and dance to the world in a way that it had never been shown and he was a cultural game changer on a global level," Rev. Al Sharpton said in grief of his passing friend.

Soul Train planted the seed for some of today's biggest contemporary names in music,
to unveil their knack. Often times, the show conceived a traditional "Soul Train line" prompting those with or without rhythm, to sashay down the assembly line. Cornelius hosted the longest running show of the U.S series until 1993, even so it persevered steadily with his absence. In his early years, he was an avid journalist and savvy in the civil rights movement. The late, Chicago genius will forever be treasured for his acquisitions by loved ones and artists whom, he paved the way.
Where it all began!!!!!

Sol-Angel Shimmers.

First post for February 2012!

Solange! Solange! SOLANGE! Never a flaw! There is not a day I can fix my lips to say she manifests "catastrophic" or forgets her A-Game at home. Her style though, is a disaster comprising of edge, fearlessness, loud, venturesome and girly. The flashy singer/mother recently signed a contract with Next Models and will be featured on the UK website edition of Vogue throughout the month of February. Photographed above emerging sparse, Solange sports a slight-oversized blue T by Alexander Wang sweater, with Guess by Marciano black leather pants, following with BCBG's pulsating pointy-toed heels. Accessorizing with a familiar CC Syke hot pink clutch, but when it is Solange, inevitably she can recycle. I adore this daring collaboration and can truly discern why Vogue UK would emphasize on her persistent, impeccable fashions.

Glance at a fancy few from 'Sol-Angel'
Solange wears these garments with no motive of pleasing cameras or anyone, besides herself! How selfish! HA
