@the 2nd Hand Record Shop.

The record shop lady first took an interest in me when she saw me going thru The Specials albums. "I have some more back here," she said. She was in her 40s with thick framed hipster glasses that were red with yellow lightening bolts along the side. The whole place was dingy but not too dusty, which is always a problem for me in these second hands spots. She had posters and 45 covers tacked

Dont forget about Joy.

I don’t know and it doesn’t matter. If you’re in it for the business, than good luck. I’m in it for something else. A higher state of shared consciousness, not unlike the kind u might find within and emanating off of a rhyme cipher. Everything’s so tightly wound.http://www.twitter.com/true

Cuz if u post it, it will NOT come.

God forbid this dood gets assassinated while he's here. That would be the start of WW III fer sere."Ahmadinejad says Americans want to hear him"--it has all the feeling of a set-up. He's here, fronting like he wants to pay his respects and what-not to Ground Zero, etc...I know im just yr garden variety stoned visionary, and I certainly believe that the American thing to do is to let him visit,

Picturile tineretii

Picturi ulei (oil paintings):

Pictură făcută în liceu, d-ale pubertăţii:


Pictură făcută după o poză din Nekermann pe vremea comuniştilor când vedeai carne de sărbători naţionale:


O reproducere după Grigorescu, ce-mi amintesc de ea e că o profesoara de desen când a văzut-o a rămas mută, păcat că ulterior încercând să refac mâna am stricat-o :


De ăsta-mi amintesc că l-am făcut sub influenţa pictorilor ruşi, dacă n-ai văzut marea desenată de pictorii ruşii n-ai văzut nimic, nu am fost mulţumit decât de valul transparent, pescăruş şi cer:


Un tablou făcut când am aflat că toate lucrurile tind spre albastru atunci când sunt depărtate, ce chestie, sunt lucruri/legi pe care le întâlneşti zi de zi dar nu devi conştient de ele decât când cineva îţi atrage atenţia, la fel ca şi legile perspectivei..

Waves of Mutilation (Intake demo mix)

i used to swim out to where the waves were sashaying swells of glittering darkness. every so often, there'd be that one out in the distance that looked more like a wall than a hill, and i'd feel the undertow tugging me gently, then firmly, and finally irresistibly backwards into its approach. When a big wave like that comes yr supposed to turn around and dive into it, but if my eagle eye spotted

Pregnancy Round-Up

Tameka Foster was seen leaving her and Urshers midtown Manhattan hotel on Sept. 5th.

Nicole Richie (5 months) was spotted in L.A. leaving Fred Segal after an afternoon of shopping.

Earlier this month Garcelle Beauvias had her baby shower, which was hosted by her good friend, Angie Harmon. When asked about her pregnancy Garcelle gushed, "I can't believe I'm pregnant with twins! Other than seeing my body grow and thinking, 'Will my stomach ever go back?' it's a pretty exciting time," she laughed.

Omar Epps, 34, and wife Keisha Spivey, formerly of the R&B group Total, posed for the cameras during their arrival at the 2007 Creative Arts Emmy Awards in L.A. earlier this month. Keisha is 6 months pregnant.

Three-months pregnant Halle Berry shops for baby clothes with her mother, Judith Ann, at baby superstore NoMi boutique on West Pico in Los Angeles.


Over the weekend, it was announced that soul singer Aretha Franklin has Halle in mind to play her in an upcoming biopic.


Aretha said, “For television. My autobiography, From These Roots. Hopefully it will happen early spring. I have verbal commitments from Billy Dee [Williams] to play my father, and Terrence Howard to play Smokey Robinson. I’m not sure yet [who will play me]. Jennifer Hudson came to read for me. I also have an interest in Halle Berry possibly doing it. And Fantasia.

Serena Williams Isn't Pregnant

Someone's needs to conduct Father Williams interviews for him, after he was quoted in an interview as saying, “Serena has a few problems that we haven't talked to no one about,I think she's done a marvelous job of hiding it. Extremely marvelous." Rumors went buck-wild assuming he meant she did a marvelous job of hiding her "pregnancy".

Of course she's not pregnent he means she did a marvelous job of hiding her man balls through out all these years. Jackie is her decoy, or maybe not, he looks like he'd be a 'top".

Tommy Hilfiger Still Hates Black People

[Mya, Russell Simmons and Rosario Dawson wished designer Tommy Hilfiger good luck backstage before his show at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom. ]

Just for fun, let’s try a blind item for you gossip aficionados. Which ubiquitous, young(ish) singer didn’t get seated with the other cool kids at Tommy Hilfiger’s show and spent the entire production pulling a completely petulant bitchface?

It was Mya, who, to be fair, was so precariously crammed onto the end of her front-row bleacher that she probably had to concentrate pretty hard on not slipping off and falling on her ass. She made no effort to hide her irritation at this snub and spent the whole show pulling every face in the book (except a decent poker face).

Battle of The Diva's

This past week 50 Cent and Kanye West released their albums on the same date creating a Battle Of The Titans.

Call it Deja Vu (maybe) because Mariah Carey and Mary J Blige will be releasing their albums on the same date November 20th, causing quite a ruckus in the R&B community. Some have named this future fued as the "Battle of the Titans II". Both Mariah and MJ's last albums were HIGHLY successful and the promotors of Mariahs' new "unnamed" album is calling this her best album to date.

Mariah better watch her back before Kendu slides through with a shank, he don't play when it comes to Mary, just look at his face.

Fanny Packs are BACK!

Do you remember the fanny pack? It was the mark of a tourist, a busy parent or a super geek, but now, this uber-80s accessory has gotten a new look with a fabulous new defintion. Fanny packs hit the runway this season in full throttle. No longer bulky and gaudy, designers have taken the fanny pack to a slick new place that is perfectly fashionable. Think about it... if you live in the city, the fanny pack is the perfect way to stay light and mobile. Big enough to carry your Blackberr, lip gloss or even a small notebook, the pack is the perfect urban tag-along.

Not to forget about out 4-legged friends, you can also get a fanny pack to carry your pooch!

OJ is A Suspect.. Again

TMZ is reporting that Orenthal J. Simpson and five other men barged into a hotel room last night, and took various memorabilia once owned by Simpson -- at gunpoint!

Alfred Beardsley, a memorabilia dealer, had secured various items once owned by Simpson. Beardsley has said he had the suit OJ wore the day he was acquitted of murder.Beardsley tells TMZ he had arranged to meet with someone last night who was interested in buying the suit and other Simpson memorabilia.

Beardsley says the man was actually a member of Simpson's crew. He says the men stormed the room, two of them with guns drawn. Beardsley says the men claimed to be police officers. OJ and others demanded that Beardsley and two other men surrender their cell phones. Beardsley refused to do so. Beardsley says the group stole every piece of memorabilia in the room, including items signed by Joe Montana. They also took a case of never-released leather editions of Simpson's book, "I Want to Tell You.

Rumor Control: Paula Patton Preggers?

While looking for a parking spot at my local Christie's Toy box, don't judge me, I heard on the FM that Paula Patton and Robin Thicke are expecting their first child. Now this could be completely a rumor, just like the rumor of J.Lo being pregnant but if this is true I would like to wish the happy couple a congrats on their little mulatto ray of sunshine!

And since we are talking about pregnant peeps, Halle Berry was spotted bringing a box of yummies to a sick friend at the UCLA hospital yesterday.

Glory Be...

Erykah Badu performed at the Heineken Red Star Soul Concert Series in Chi-town yesterday. This is the lady you hate to see in Church because every Sunday is a chance for her to outdue what she did the Sunday before. I can't hate, this chick stays casket sharp!

Another Kim K Sex Tape?

"Enjoy it while you can. Can't live off the sex tape forever. Have a second plan. There's always someone younger and prettier than you." Those were magical words uttered by Karrine 'Superhead' Steffans to Kim Kardashian after her sex-tape was released with then boy toy Ray-J.

Seems like she's taking this motherly advice to heart because there's rumors that Steve Hirsch, founder of 21-year-old Vivid Entertainment, has another celeb sex tape on the way featuring Flava Flav' girl Toastee and Kim Kardashian.

Now I pray to Oprah that they aren't in this together. Toastee looks like a chick who's banged a couple of horses and goats back in her day. Quite frankly Kim's 15 seconds of whoring fame is up, unless in this video she actually lets someone pee on her, like a horse or a goat, then I'd watch.

Sequins are IN!!

Yes, Sequins are in this year, you can easily find them in your grandmothers or even mothers closet which makes them ultra vintage and anything that's vintage is of course trendy. I searched and searched on articles covering this repeating trend and lucked up on my very own blogroll partner Sylvia who runs the VERY fabulous fashion blog, I Like Her Style! She has the revival of the ' Sequin' covered from left to right!

According to the blog diva, Sequins are nothing new but they’ve made a resurgence on the Spring 2008 runway shows, including Marc Jacobs, Tracy Reese and Badgley Mischika and now celebrities are wearing them too. Whether it’s tiny sequins like on Kimora Lee Simmons or Paula Patton’s dress or huge ones like singer Keri Hilson, sequins add zing to any outfit. Keep the look from looking Vegas-like by sticking to black, if you must add color take a leaf out of Joy Bryant’s book. The silk flowers are divine.

Here are Sylvia's picks of sequin peices that you should have this upcoming Spring season.
