Pha-real

so here's what's going on with mr. skateboard P.; there's a remix out for "Everyone Nose" ft. k. west, Lupe Fiasco, and Pusha. i heard this on the Angie Martinez show today where Pharrell and kanYe were on chit chatting. sir Williams and Lupe will also be in an upcoming issue of Complex magazine. my friend (we'll just call her "M" because i don't want to get her into type of trouble lol) will be helping dress them for the shoot. when i get some juice on the two sexy stars i will definitely share.

sooo as i'm typing this i know a lot of you are at MSG enjoying the Glow in the Dark Show. don't worry... my turn is in 4 days!!!

mayBE; the calm before the storm...

1. Santogold "Shove It"
dope song, dope beat. so happy this lady is finally out and i can enjoy her anytime of day. her cd is amazing!!!!

2. Janet Jackson "Rock With U"
this song is so sexy, "talk with your body/ don't say anything at all." this is just makes me want to grab a guy and kiss him.

3. Consequence ft. kanYe West "The Good, The Bad, The Ugly"
not a new, but definitely a joint you can jam to anytime. the words carry weight, the beat is smooth, and it features k-weezy!!!

4. Cassie "Official Girl"
very relateable; what girl hasn't been with a guy and wondered wtf is going on in the relationship?

5. Black Moon "I Gotcha Open"
throw back much? lol this is a classic. i bump this in my car like it just dropped. i miss that whole time of 90's hip-hop :/

6. Mary J. Blige "Fade Away"
this tips the mood of the playlist. wanting to disappear feeling like no one understands or your just a big failure-sing Mary...

7. Danity Kane "Poetry"
who knew DK had this in them? i didn't. i love listening to this and closing my eyes just letting the girl guide me through.

8. Madonna "Devil Wouldn't Recognize You"
this describes a "situation" i've recently gotten out of to a "t". when you're in--blind. when you're out--reeefreeeeshed.

9. James Blunt "Wisemen"
i enjoy his cockiness in these lyrics. i love the intro because you think you're about to hear such a pretty song; not so much.

10. The Beatles "While My Guitar..."
love the Beatles. this acoustic song is so painful yet lovely and continues the moodiness of the playlist.

11. One Republic "Too Easy"
Ryan's voice is amazing. this is such a simple song and i love just hearing a voice and strings. close your eyes and enjoy.

12. Amy Winehouse "Some Unholy War"
this is a special version of the song. songs about that hardcore kind of love always catch my heart if i know the singer feels it.

13. Under the Influence of Giants "Stay Illogical"
our modern day Bee-Gees. the drums are sick and Aaron's voice range is ridic. you'd never guess it's a song about cheating.

14. Duffy "Stepping Stone"
get on this girl before she blows up. sort of like a blonde Amy w/o the drama, but definitely with the soul.

15. No Doubt "Sometimes"
off their first ever album. this is quintessential ND. Gwen's voice is so green; and the lyrics are so relatable these days...

16. Gnarls Barkley "A Little Better"
i can't keep telling you how good their new album is. this song makes me want to say , "Preach On Brotha!! Preach On."

17. kanYe West "Hey Mama" (Grammy Version)
i always cry when i hear this. we all know someone we can apply this song to--for me it's mi Abuela that I miss sooo much.

book club: Fabulosity

so here's the thing, i have a tendency of buying/receiving books and then they just sit in a nice stack in my room. so i'm hoping to knock these bad boys out by starting my own fM "book club". i'll just post the book up on here and if you have or would like to read it along with me then you can feel free to do so. there will be a section on the side keeping you up to date with what book is featured and you can feel free to comment about your likes/dislikes from each book. so book number one is obviously, Fabulosity. as much as i am aware that people aren't too much of a fan of the over the top mogul... i am a fan and am willing to read about ms. KLS. so check your local library or make the purchase and let's go!!!

kanYe > Entertainment Weekly

"Yo, anybody that's not a fan; don't come to my show. For what?! To try and throw ya'll two cents in? Ya'll rated my album shitty and now ya'll come to the show and give it a B+. What's a B+ mean? I'm an extremist. It's either pass or fail! A+ or F-! You know what, fuck you and the whole fucking staff!!! I know I shouldn't dignify this with a comment, but the reviewer threw a jab at all the artists. I just wanna know when was the last time you enjoyed yourself. If you can't have fun and lose yourself at this tour it's a good chance you're a very miserable person. I actually feel sorry for you guys. Your job forces you to not have fun anymore. Grab a drink, holla at some nice girls, and party bitch!! You don't know shit about passion and art. You'll never gain credibility at this rate. You're fucking trash! I make art. You can't rate this. I'm a real person. I'm not a pop star. I don't care about anything but making great art. Never come 2 one of my shows ever again, you're not invited and if you see me...BOW!! This is not pop, it's pop art!" - mr. West

is that package for me? : Sex and the City

i did my part during Green Week and ordered the SATC reusable dry cleaning bag. it's made of breathable material and you're supposed to use it instead of those annoying plastic covers that they put on your clothes when you pick them up from the dry cleaners. the bottom also has an adjustable pulley at the bottom. it's very wide, very durable, and very cute. you are going to want to make trips to the cleaners just to carry this.

if you would like to buy one or other Green SATC merchandise, then click here.

SATC x Oprah

the ladies, and gent, of Sex and the City were on Oprah today. it was a good episode that gave me chills when all four gals were out together on the couch. all of the ladies looked very pretty (but of course) and the conversations of the movie, and fashion, and romance just had me wishing that May 30th was tomorrow.
