Hung out with J, and did the usual in an unusual way: we searched for satisfaction, to end our massive food cravings.So we trekked down Santa Monica Boulevard...
To the Middle Eastern haven of rotisserie, Zankou Chicken. I got more and more excited with every step I took to approach our destination.Do you wanna witness an ounce of bomb diggity?
Satisfaction
Zankou Number 9!
And then we saw mad Sex and the City movie advertisements everywhere we looked.
Then we had the yearning for Winchell's donuts.
Satisfaction number 2.
Dope day for good fun.

AWESOME!!!
The biggest continent in the world - Asia - is getting it's fix of Freshness because they've launched Freshness Japan and Freshness China! This is pretty cool. An established online magazine for street culture/pop culture/anything that's poppin' at the moment is taking the world by storm and going multi-lingual. I think it's a huge step and it's going to reap generous rewards - because let's face it: everything we surround us with in our own culture is not exclusive - it's all universal. From music, fashion, art, architecture, photography, streetwear, and everything in between - we take influences from other parts of the world and make it unique. I give Freshness mad props for getting this far and I congratulate them on this new venture. We worldwide, baby!

LINDSAY & SAMANTHA
Got this off Perez Hilton and thus the white dots in her crotch area, but anyway, this picture was taken outside BAPE LA! Although you can barely see it, I just had to point out that Samantha Ronson is right behind her. Props to Ali for the heads up, I was lookin for this picture! Okay that's about it - back to reading more juice and waste my life away.

MAMA'S JOINT
Mother's day may be officially over, but the ladies at Mama is in full throttle!
Switching gears from their sailor-themed spring line, Tide Is High, Mama launches their summer 2008 lookbook for Mama's Joint, a contemporary twist on the flapper/jazz era of the 1920's. The red lipstick, loose waves, and high waisted look is classy, feminine, and simply mama!
Check out the lookbook here, and see the work of Gabriella, stylist Liz, and photography by Amanda Lopez! It's all that jazz and a whole lot more. I can't wait to cop a few pieces!
