Rojas Summer Party & Sale!

One of my favorite lines at the moment. I have a feeling that Rojas will be one of my favs for a while. Always on point & so fresh.  Check Rojas out for yourself.

Anyway, so on August 2nd Rojas is hosting a party & sale! What is better than cocktails, shopping & a dj?   Well if they had cupcakes & burritos. Then it would be seriously the hot shit. 

Tisa ain’t playing around

This is real & not for play.

Love the Ice Cube beat & Crookers mixed in.

Yes, Popeye’s chicken is the shiznit

 

There are a few places that need to set up shop in Vancouver, B.C.  One of them without a doubt is Popeye’s Chiken.  Everytime I come home to visit my Mum in Seattle, I make it a point to hit up Popeye’s.  If you watch this link from 00:30-00:50, you’d totally agree.

Louis Vuitton Flashship Store by UNStudio

Dutch architects UNStudio is set to design the Louis Vuitton Flagship Store in Japan. UNStudio has been on the forefront of architecture with their unique forms and sense of space. The store will be a 10-story building with everything you can imagine including a cafe, spa, bookstore, exhibition gallery, and of course retail space.

The proposal has taken branding to the next level by incorporating Louis Vuitton’s famous monogram leaf shape into the design on both a big and small scale. The building takes on a green approach with multiple gardens and natural ventilation.

 

This looks pretty insane.  I am NOT a huge fan of LV anymore.  However,  I am a fan of architecture with sleeck futuristic design.  I am excited to see more photos!

Just when you were really feelin’ the patchworks

Nike had to go & drop another dope women’s Blazer for us.  The new Nike Blazer Women’s Quilt are pretty fresh.  PURPLE! I love purple.

The upper stitching is reminiscent of a patchwork quilt cover, but we aren’t complaining, with the beautiful combination of colours. This screams everything that is right about women’s footwear, from the choice of model to the simplistic yet abstract use of materials and creamy midsole with the laces to match. Out now!

Motorcycle rides into the galaxy

Oh you crazy kids.  I’ve heard their songs many many times before,  but I’ve never really liked any of them as much as I like this one.  Their song that’s been getting tons of air play lately is their track titled “Electric Feel”.  This song has an enchanting beat,  catchy lyrics and a semi-psychedelic video.  I’d really like to take some E & kick it with these kids.  I picture us running a muck through the streets, drinking booze from paper bags & being bad kids.  Plus, I want to ride a motorcycle into the galaxy too (see video below)!!!  They are a little poppy.  However,  Justice seems to like them & has been mixing & remixing their shit lately.  So if Justice says they kosher, they kosher.

i said ooh girl
shock me like an electric eel
baby girl
turn me on with your electric feel

Take me on a trip, I’d like to go someday.

G’s to Gents

Um, don’t you judge me. I don’t care, I actually find the show to be good. I don’t really know how I feel about the dudes on the show being real G’s, but hey it’s awesome entertainment.

ABOUT THE SHOW:

Gentleman (jent’l man): A courteous, gracious man with a strong sense of honor.

You know what it means, but what does it take to be a true gentleman? You’re about to find out…

From G’s to Gents rounds up 14 rough-around-the-edges young men from across the country and gives them the opportunity of a lifetime — the chance to go from G to gent and walk away with some cold, hard cash!

From executive producer Jamie Foxx, From G’s to Gents schools diamonds in the rough on how to lose the front, learn self-respect, realize their self-worth and market themselves accordingly. The wannabe gentlemen learn everything from style and grace to etiquette and chivalry. The G’s discover that with the right tools, they can become true gents.

Upon setting foot inside their posh Hollywood Hills mansion — known as the Gentleman’s Club — the boys are whipped into shape by host Fonzworth Bentley, the quintessential gentleman.

After stealing the spotlight as Diddy’s flawlessly dressed personal assistant, Fonzworth’s sense of style and impeccable manners earned him a reputation as a man of class. His book, Advance Your Swagger: How to Use Manners, Confidence and Style to Get Ahead, focuses on bringing grace and dignity back to everyday life. Indeed, the dapper gent dreams of a day when “please” and “thank you” are part of the world’s vernacular again.

When it comes to going From G’s to Gents, no stone is left unturned. Each episode, the G’s will be taught an important lesson — from how to make a good first impression and always look their best to how to maintain a positive attitude and keep their composure in the face of conflict to how to treat a lady and speak eloquently.

Watching these G’s shed their grills, shave their mohawks, lay down their 40s and forget all those four-letter words is a guaranteed good time. But this isn’t just a life lesson; this is a competition — one that’s worth $100,000. So each episode, the G that fails to grow closer to becoming a gent is denied entrance into the Gentleman’s Club. The G’s will undergo a total transformation; one that forces them to answer tough questions about who they are and who they hope to become. They will strive to show the world their full potential. But, in the end, only one will graduate from G to gent. Who will it be?

I am hooked! It’s because it’s not a lame show that deals with love or money, hoes turning into housewives. Finally a show of just DUDES. I love this idea. Oh & I have a crush on one of the dudes. I remember when I dated this guy when I was 18 or 19, and I once told him that I thought he was being too soft & emotional for me. His response was well you must want a thug. Well it’s true, girls are sometimes attracted to the bad boys. At that point in my life I was too damn wild for my own damn good, of course I was I was young & buck wild like I should have been. It’s starting to wear off a little bit now. Anyway, that is a whole different post on it’s own.

So here’s my lil’ G crush on the show. Don’t laugh. He actually has really pretty hazel eyes & a sexy accent. He could be my Puerto Rican papi chulo.

Get it right

Okay, here’s the deal. Y’all know Mc Donald’s orange coloured drink? Is it or is it not carbinated? Because as far as I can remember it isn’t. Which makes it orage drink, not soda. I get really annoyed when the employees at Mc Donalds call it soda. It’s not carbinated! It’s not soda. It’s orange drink.
