Levi Strauss and Ace Hotels Collaborate on Suite 501




LA Times checks in with a piece on ACE Hotel’s “suite” work with Cali’s own Levi Strauss. “Suite 501″ is exactly what you would imagine it would be – a denim decorated room in the spirit of the Levi’s 501. “A mock-up of the room was on display in a ’20s era house just off Sunset Boulevard in the shadow of the Chateau Marmont on Thursday, a former residence on Selma Avenue that a few months ago became the new home of Levi’s VIP space/entertainment industry networking hub, headed by Sheri Timmons, director of engagement marketing for Levi’s who worked with Ace owner Alex Calderwood on the project.” Marketing works.

M.O.B. Pantie Raid!



Exclusively at Karmaloop.com as a part of MTTM's 5th Anniversary Celebration, a 5-pak of panties have been released with the sigature snooty, famale-empowering phrases that MTTM is known for.



I would've preferred a beter panty model with more curves, but she ain't so bad either.





Bt mentioning panty raids reminds me of the joys of being in college: mischief and decadence. If you all haven't seen "Animal House" by now, do it ASAP!! Here's the trailer to the movie which opened the door to the college humor sub-genre of comedy.




Oh yeah... It's the weekend!!!! Let's get it!!

Mackdaddy Fall/Winter 2009 Collection Lookbook: "Bumble In The Jungle"



Never shy of using plenty of color and mixing different styles, Japanese brand Mackdaddy presents their new Fall/Winter 2009 Collection. They use unique vintage pieces and very colorful pieces. Mackdaddy also introduces more footwear this season, along with outerwear, knitwear and accessories, making for an overall complete collection. Also look out for some familiar faces in the lookbook.






Most of my favorite brands have incorporated a morrefined look this season. More tailored fits, collegiate styles, vibrant colors, etc. Jump on the bandwagon because if th make of these pieces aregood quality, you'll be wearing them for years- just like your favorite Ralph Lauren sweater.

Never boring, here’s alook at the strappy Fan sandal by Bruno Frisoni part of his Aw/w 2009 collection.

Cults, Conspiracies, & Secret Societies



Sometimes things happen for a reason. Yesterday I read a review for this book and bought it on the way to class. The night before I was in the Hexagon Room talking about secret societies with The Swaggstas. Shit really just goes fuul circle because I've been talking about the Illuminati and Free Masons for years now!! I finally found a book that wasn't over my head with dark Latin phrases.

Information is laid right there in my lap. It's definitely a great read for anyone: prepsters, hipsters, urban sophisticates, or just fans of music and history.

Conspiracy theorists are sold on believing that some of our favorite musicians of now and then have been in secret societies- and the causes of some of their deaths had somethingto do with it. Aaliyah, Left Eye, Jam Master Jay, Tupac, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, and even Michael Jackson.

It gets heavy, but the more knowledge you have, the more aware you are of what's going on in the world around you. I suggest you read it.

Lil' Wayne: "Get Schooled"

Lil Wayne for Get Schooled from Get Schooled on Vimeo.



Now outside of the element of him being a UBER- celebrity, would you listen to this guy if he told you and your friends to stay in school?? LOL Honestly?? They should'vechosen a cleaner celeb to do that PSA... But yeah kids, stay in school!!! Cuz Lil' Wayne says so!! (Even though he's CLEARLY high during this recording)

Jay Z Covers XXL Magazine




I wonder who's writing the cover story.... Better yet, who's doing the shoot. Hopefully it'll be epic. I'm not fully sold on how good this album will be yet, but the buzz is growing heavily!!

Here are a few more tracks off the album to too on your iPod a tad earlier

Jay Z: "Venus vs Mar$"

Jay Z: "Off That" (ft. Drake)(Prod. By: Timaland)

Jay Z: "Reminder" (Prod. By: Timaland)


And It's The Real did a video commentary on "Run This Town"... HILARIOUS!!

Run This Town (Official Directors' Commentary) from jeff on Vimeo.

Drake: "Forever" (feat. Kanye West, Lil' Wayne & Eminem)

Yeah... I'm back!! I apologize for not posting for the past few days.... I recently moved to Chicago and I've been handling business with school and my crib.... I'll be back next week full speed ahead. But here's a little something to hold you all over!!





This seemed like a dream collaboration but maybe it was too much of a laidback instrumental for them to spazz out on. I still like the track but I feel as if there was FAR more potential to be reached on the track.

Check it out yourself....

Givenchy Sandals Seen On The Street



Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy gives yet ANOTHER reason for me to admire women who give a little bit of pain in order to bring forth a TON of beauty and elegance. I would have preferred more tan feet and better polish but the overall design is pretty sexy to me. I'd hit a chick in these.

I peeped them over on Jak & Jil

Jay Z: "Feelin' It" video



Damn... I ain't even know there WAS a video to this track till I caught it on elitaste earlier... Shit fucked me ALL the way up LOL... Dude, NOBODY can NEVER say Jay Z wasn't the shit since forever!! My dude was on some flashy shit way before the classic ratings and platinum records... And the shit they rented back then- some of these things I'm sure they own nowadays though- was still mad expensive so it carries enough validity to assure that SOMEONE was pitchin' yayo. Not to mention this is one of my favorite songs off of the iconic "Reasonable Doubt".

Bring Back The Boondocks!!!

Here are a few of my favorite clips from one of my favorite shows:

Stussy Girls Fall 2009 Look Book



The Godfathers of this streetwear shit are back at it again on the women's tip...



For fall 2009, Stussy Girls goes back to basics with a simple and clean collection of jackets, plaid button down shirts, hoodies, cardigans and dresses. Perfect for back to school, keep a look out for these on www.stussydirect.com.




I wonder why they don't have a flagship store in Chicago... *smh*... Regardless, I'm most definitely loving the simplicity that fashion is embracing overall. Sometimes simplicity can be just what's needed.
