Dora Gets A Makeover

These fools have gone ahead and given Dora a makeover, which is absolutely unnecessary. She is a litte 4 or 5 year old girl traveling through jungles, and chillin with animals. She doesnt need to have on diamond studs, a necklance and ring. See, now little gurls gonna be talkin bout how they want what Dora got. Next thing you know shes gonna be giving fashion advice, gettin facials, and talkin bout how cute Diego is. If you're like me, and think that the madness must stop, click here to sign a petition against the Dora makeover.

Sadly, Blender is the lastest victim to suffer, due to our nations economic turmoil. BOO-HOO. But all hope isn't lost, you'll still be able to enjoy via blender.com

Maino is really sayin "Hi Haters", now. He has a hot single, and a video to go with it, thats not half bad. It also has an actual message. So, good for him....now let's hope he can maintain, and not fall prey to the one hit wonder syndrome that has taken sooo many away from us.

Mr. Anti-Fashion

For those of you who are familiar with Taz Arnold, you know that he is somewhat of a character. A being that might as well be of another planet. And for those of you who aren't, here is his latest project from ti$avi$ion.tv, made in partnership with Kenzo Digital, that better explains the "person" that he is, and the not so fashionable fashions he rocks.

Oh, by the way....we've met:

Keri Hilson Album Release Party

Last night I hit up Keri Hilson's album release party @ the Pink Elephant. And let me tell you....it was crazy. From the line outside, to the crowded dance floor. But the sad part is that ALL to those people really thought they were getting in. Like, if they only knew how small it was up in that bitch, they would have saved themselves the disappointment, and gone on home. Anywho, it was live. DJ D-Nice was killin it on the turntables. Akon was in the building , as well as Ron Brownz, Tyson Beford, Melyssa Ford and wanna be celebrities from Harlem Heights. All in all, it was a festive evening, and Miss Keri deserved to celebrate. Its been a loooooong time comin.

Peeps some more pics of Keri and frends just below:

Michelle Obama Might Be Able To Get You A Job Too!!!

The Obama Effect has struck again...this time in the fashion world. J.Crew has finally decided to feature a model of color (Liya Kebede), as the face of their ENTIRE Catalog for next month. This is a major deal seeing as J.Crew is in the habit of featuring pastey faced females with pearly white smiles, frolecking thru life in all its splendor. They are even going to start carrying pieces from Liya's children's line, Lemlem....double pay check?! I can't believe it!! Michelle is getting folks work left and right. Look out, you might be next.

Stussy got genius on us. They went ahead and put together a collection t-shirts with historical figures splashed across them, with animation and the works to make them POP.
