I'M FROM L.A.

I rarely blog about fitteds, but this weekend @ Hall Of Fame:Rep where you from, doggy!

OUT WITH THE OLD.

I've just finished one part of life and about to finish another pretty soon. The warming weather is making me restless and I'm yearning for summer to come. New opportunities are presenting itself almost everyday and I can't help but be grateful for what I've got. Now, it's time to start thinking about my summer plans - which includes updating and revamping this bad boy, exploring more of this place I call home in LA, and working working working!
But for now, getting through 2 more weeks, and...uh..it's time for Top Chef!

WHAT UP WEDNESDAY

Active has these random Wednesday sales - more like blowouts - on their gear. This week, it's 3 purrs of shoes for $75 - check it out here.And although it's getting quite warm, they've slashed prices on all Grenade snowgear! I guess if you wanna stock up for next season, this might be your day. Go here to shop Grenade.

IF YOU NEED A LAUGH...

I always forget to post this, but whenever I need a laugh, I watch this: The anchors can't contain themselves - their laughters are like...mouse squeaks, and all you can do is laugh! But hey it's hard walking in those shoes under pressure at a big fashion show....but damn this so funny. Whenever you are sad/mad/frustrated/bored - just watch this and you'll laugh. If you don't, then something is definitely wrong with you.

F*** 'EM! WITH HPNOTIQ

My roommate/best friend has been going through boyfriend issues so she made me take a shot of Hpnotiq before she left the apartment to release her anger. It is currently 9:40 pm on a Tuesday night, and I have this aqua-colored alcohol going through my system when I have tons of work to do tonight. Interesting. And why is it that I am home alone and feeling this way - with Hpnotiq inside of me - seems quite strange. The theme for the night has been "F*** 'em!" - referring to boys/boyfriends/significant others of the male species that is. So as I sit here alone and think back at the impulse of taking a shot of liquor (although Hpnotiq should hardly be considered one), I commend my ability to procrastinate and divulge my attention to anything other than what I should be doing. But my homies come first, especially the best kinds, so if she needs me to release her anger towards testosterone-pumped beings on a Tuesday night when I got lots to do - no doubt about it I'm there. Now that is love. F*** 'EM!!!!

This is probably worth going to if you're headed to the Lower East Side...

SEARS x LL COOL J ?????

Sears has teamed up with the hip-hop veteran to launch a brand calledLL Cool J for Sears. The collection of casualwear for juniors, young men's, girls' and boys' will roll out to 450 of Sears' 900 stores in September and could generate as much as $100 million to $150 million in its first year, sources said.


LL on women's apparel: "I was raised by a matriarch, I have a wife and three daughters, so I know what women are looking for when they shop for clothes," he said. "My main concern with juniors is to make sure the fit is right. The fabrics have to feel nice on a woman's body, but sizing and fit are very important. I know that if she comes in, puts it on and it doesn't fit, she won't come back. Clothes have to make a woman feel good, relaxed and sexy. We are going to be constantly looking at fine-tuning the fit and we'll get it right."

REALLY!? Funny he still raps about taking clothes off rather than putting them on. I think he should just stick with jams like "Around The Way Girl"...and call it a day.

FLASHING LIGHTS - KANYE WEST (PART 2)

Watch Kanye West's music video for "Flashing Lights" part two now! We knew there would be another one coming besides the dark, trapped-in-a-car-while-Rita-beats-Kanye-up-with-a-shovel video. I think this video - which is more like a super fast slideshow of clips and stills - fits the song a little bit more. I love her outfit changes though, although it all ends up in a pure mess. Check it out for yourself!
