Her Shoe Game Crazy

Seems like I always post male sneakers on here, So let me take this time to honor a noted female & her lavish shoe game.

Pynk Magazine caught up with the Fly Fashionista to talk about her expensive shoe game and her favorite designers;

On the worth of her shoe collection….
“My whole entire collection? I could probably buy a house. I would say it’s probably worth about $70,000.”
On her favorite shoe designers…
“Of course, everyone likes Louboutin. I like Camilla Skovgaard. I also like YSL. I like Brian Atwood sometimes. I love Miu Miu shoes.”

Step into this sick photo shoot that went down…

Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar (born June 17, 1987) is a rapper from Compton, California. His music is influenced by Tupac Shakur, Jay-Z, Nas & DMX. He is a member of Black Hippy along with Jay Rock, Ab-Soul and Schoolboy Q.

Never has a West Coast rapper hit home with so many of there lyrics, Self titled "The Good Kid" Kendrick rose above the gang violence that always surrounded him as a youth growing up in Compton. He even admitted being shot at, just one of the many negatives he came a cross as a child....

Long Story Short...

Just listen to his music for your self and be inspired:

The LeBrons Episode 1

Kind of a knock off Boondocks to me but just minus the raciness as well as the humor. But hey you have to give credit for King James for thinking out side of the box by creating a couple of cartoon LeBron's. He did in fact say that he wanted to become the 1st billion dollar basketball player, And well I think this is one good direction to go in.

I know I said this before but to be honest, I was felt like no one was really reading my blog, so as profile views slowed down as well as well as followers I did to, Why waste my time I thought. But a wise man once said "If you lead in the dark, the true believers shall follow..." well surely enough that was one creep wise man but it actually made sense to me. So despite the fact the a lot of people have already crossed over on to the enemy side (Tumblr) I'll plant my feed where my seeds lay right here on blogspot & continue creating great post that you all know and love.

Try This

Join your two hands as shown above.

The thumb represents your parents. Now try separating them apart, and they’ll easily open. They easily separate because you are not destined to live with your parents forever. Now join the two thumbs back together.

Next, separate your index fingers and they will open too because these fingers represent your siblings, and they’ll also lead their own lives in the future.

The middle fingers represent yourself.

Next separate your pinky fingers. These fingers with open as well because, they represent your kids, who will also have a different life from yours, eventually.

Lastly, try opening your ring fingers. You can’t right! This is because the ring finger represents both you & your spouse & no matter what you’ll remain together for the rest of your life.

This Here Weed Music

Theirs not a rap song out now, where you don't at least hear the word weed or one of its many form on a track. Being how this weed music has blown up in the rag game, it seems like all the come up artist and even the bubble gum rappers such as Bow Wow & Soulja Boi are publicly exposing the fact that they too are heavy smokers.

Hmp...

Now I can't touch on this topic without mention the Pioneers of this here weed music, Snoop Dogg, Red Man & Method Man basically were the the frontiers of publicly advertising their usage of marijuana. It worked so well for them that it even got them leading movie rolls, so I guess it was only right for the rookies of the year Wiz & Curren$y to try there lucky with there own version of the weed music & see what success they could get out of it and well look where it got them.

Crocs Sneakers?

Recently caught a glimpse of these Crocs inspired sneakers produced by Native, and as much as I HATE Crocs …I don’t hate these. I’d be more than annoyed to see them in assorted colors roaming the streets of NYC in Skinny jeans and harem pants. But Nothing can be worse than a fresh pair of crocs.

Crocs should be exterminated and extinct.

Kanye West Name Style Maker Of The Year

Kanye West was awarded the 2010 Stylemaker of the Year Award by the Accessories Council at the 14th Annual ACE Awards in NYC recently. There is without a shadow of a doubt that Mr. West is indeed a Style maker and Trendsetter, well deserving of this Award. Congrats Ye’!

Check out his acceptance speech:

“The concept of commercialism in the fashion and art world is looked down upon. You know, just to think, “What amount of creativity does it take to make something that masses of people like?” And, “How does creativity apply across the board?” Why, if someone is good in one field can they not be accepted or given the slightest opportunity to express and be creative in other fields? I thank Marc Jacobs so much for giving me the opportunity to design a shoe for Louis Vuitton, but the thing that broke my heart most was when they said, “You’re finished. The shoe’s finished.” When it was ready it was like the dream of putting together the fabric and having the energy that I knew of being a street kid, of being a boy out of Chicago, and enjoying every day and the way I can connect with this. It’s like, you can’t play the video game anymore. And that’s what it’s about. So many people in this room, they can’t even go on vacation without being creative. They can’t sit on the beach, they have to create constantly. And that’s how I feel with this album coming out.

I feel convicted. I feel a level of honesty. I feel a level of truth. I feel like a 5-year old. I feel like I’m getting closer to the 5-year-old inside of me and I feel like I have to represent that 5-year-old, even, even at the risk of my public … Maybe I can’t find the words right now, but we know what it is. Some people hate me. But nonetheless, my biggest moments, my biggest Internet-crashing moments were the opinion of a 5-year-old. The opinion of a 5-year-old, the spirit of a 5-year-old with the responsibility of a 100-year old. Where the truth will set you free or the truth will close doors. What compromises do we have to make? How many compromises do we have to make every day in this field just to keep things going? Just to be able to sell a product?

And looking at my project now versus Graduation, and look at what’s happening — what is the impact? What is the impact of last year? What did it have on me? Years from now, hundreds of years from now, what will be written in the history books? If you want to just understand how much I care, how selfless I am, how much I could give … For this to be the fifteen-year anniversary and for me to stand up here and be the first male to be honored for an influencer award or to be even recognized, because I sit back and as I say, “Let’s have a toast for the douchebags” … Fashion breaks my heart.

You know, when they do a magazine of No. 1 New Yorkers or something like that and I’m blatantly left out, I feel like … It hurts me. And I just appreciate the people in this room that are open-minded enough to remember when they were a 5-year-old. To remember when they could color outside the lines, to remember when they could give their opinion honestly without affecting their job, without it affecting their well-being. Or their kids having to go to the same school because they’re convicted about what they really, really believe. I thought that’s what true art was. I thought that’s what a true artist was. And to be able to stand up here in front of you guys and be recognized after all of this means a lot to me, and it means a lot for me to say this right now. Convicted right now. Thirty-three-years-old, still creating art. It’s rage, it’s creativity, it’s pain, it’s hurt, but it’s the opportunity to still have my voice get out there through music. To let my pain hit the radio and thank you for this moment of acceptance.”

2010 Halloween Best Outfits

Theres only one day a year that allows anyone & everyone to dress up and roam the streets as whom he or she pleases to be, .....Literally anyone:

Of Course I had to get in on the fun as the other great Micheal =)

Keri Hilson was dressed as Big Bird.

No Further Questions. -_-

I love Brandy, How many Female Singer’s would let their daughter dress up as another Singer? Brandy’s daughter looked great as Pippi Longstocking or the Wendy's mascot.

Steph Jones had Justin Bieber down to the head tilt to the side

Fabolous had The Joker (Heath Ledger edition) Down to a TEE!

Normally Rocsi is hit or a miss, But she put her ears to Good Use for her Avatar Costume. You have to work with what God gave you, Use Your Talent’s Gurl!

My Reality Lil Wayne Ft Gudda Gudda

Here's My Reality featuring Mack Maine and Gudda Gudda on there as well. This is an old verse from Wayne, I forgot which song. But I remember I was considering "Our reality is bigger than your dreams are" as our tagline. You know, because it's ironic. Our reality is very, very dim.

The Naked Famous:Young Blood (Chiddy Bang rmx)

Xaphoon and Chiddy do what they do best, take the best parts of hit songs and pair them up with intricate production and punchy verses. They've done it with MGMT, and they're back at it w/ The Naked and Famous, this one is totally tubular.

This Weeks Fashion YES!

Ciara hosted the “Ultimate Face-Lift” to benefit The VH1 Save The Music Foundation on Tuesday, and we think she finally found her niche. When Ciara goes simple she seals the deal every time.

Nicky Minaj took some time out to sign autographs and greet her Barbies in between takes of BET’s 106th & Park recently. Check out the shoe game tho *double thumbs up*

Virginia was in the building as Chris Brown & Trey Songz teamed up on the Red Carpet of GQ’s Gentlemen's Ball,

Fashion Police:

Chris almost sealed the deal in this Dsuqared2 Blazer jacket, but that hat has to go and that grey shirt right along with it. A white V-neck would have sufficed perfectly. I have no beef with Chris, but As usual he has on 3-looks-in-1.

And Diggy Simmons, who I wish would styling a single already was dope on 106th, in a dope Balmain Varsity paired with some Retro Jordans.

Nike Air Max Sensation 2011

In The Mind Of Toxic

Fashion Is Over Rated

Style is whats in....

"Never believe in the Hype be that hype"

What I meant by saying that is, well I'm sick & tired of people looking, sounding and even acting the same, I can only speak from a New Yorkers state of mind. The world is way to big for us to basically living in uniform, experiment, be different, take risk, take that left, Its one thing for people to not accept you for your self but even worst when they don't for being someone your not...

[Basically In a Nut Shell..]

Be your self people & flip the bird to whom ever doesn't like it.

Chris Brown is Back

Now I know you guys are pretty tired of hearing about ....well you know, when ever Chris Brown name is mentioned but you have to give the dude credit for he has refused to let that stop his career from ending, He again proves to us all that "Dancing will never die." Which he illustrates in his latest music video titled Yeah 3x, which is full oh twist & flips just as we are all acustomed to seeing the old* Chris doing keep up the good work CB:

You guys seen the Micheal Jackson vibe in Chris's moves, or am I the only one the picked that up...

Diggy- I am He

I've listened to a couple of songs that dropped today, including some work from the newest fella on G.O.O.D., and I don't know whether I'm sorry to say it or not, but this Diggy Simmons track is the best I've heard tonight. He's got the pedigree and is sure to have the financial backing to succeed, so here's another one from young diglet.
