I Finally Jumped in Le Sac

The first time I saw this dress was on my homie's Jewels' web page. I knew I wanted it, but I just didn't know when I'd get around to buying it. But now that there's an American Apparel in the Mall at Short Hills, today I made the leap and bought it. I got the black with black straps and I'm hoping to find the silver and fuchsia metallic cords as well. Anyway it's a great piece and I can see myself wearing it ALOT.

OK!: MJ's Kids and Janet On This Week's Cover

First off, I'd like to go on the record and say that in no way am I trying to gossip or trash talk. All I'm doing is giving my opinion and I hope that I don't offend anyone who happens to read this.

So, in the new issue of OK! magazine, their cover story is saying that Michael Jackson's three children want to stay/live with their Aunt Janet. The mag reports that Prince, Paris and Blanket “...just melt into [Janet's] arms when she walks into the house.” Honestly, I think that Janet taking them on would be a wise choice. She's the youngest of the Jackson siblings and she doesn't have any other children to care for, therefore she would be able to give them the attention that they need.

Although MJ's wishes involved his mother Katherine and Diana Ross, my opinion is that he looked at those women as maternal figures because that's what they were to him [at one point he said he and his brothers stayed with Diana for a while] ]and they made him feel comfortable. So, it was a natural choice on his part to nominate them as the guardians for his children.

I don't have any doubt that Katherine could handle those kids. Except for Blanket, the older two are at an age where they can help. Not for nothing, but Prince will be able to legally drive in about 3 years. My point is, they aren't infants and I'm not saying that their age and being able to help outweighs their emotional state.

But as I said before, I honestly do think Janet would be the best fit for them if anything at least after Katherine feels as though she could not handle it anymore.

Now, on a lighter note , after going back and listening to some MJ songs on his album "HIStory" and watching his interviews where he's bashing the "tabloid" media I won't be purchasing this magazine. The "Be Our Mommy" caption makes me cringe because I know this is a far cry from the truth of the matter. But I do believe that where this is smoke there is fire, and most of the time these rags are the smoke and fire. So I guess we will have to see how this all plays out.

MJ's fans just want what is best for the kids, and I think that would be for them to remain with the Jackson family-sans Joe...I'm just saying.

Catch the Bullet

Bullet is proud to present to the masses the lead track from this impending EP. "Mr Robotic", produced by Slot A, is yet another guaranteed floor filler from this Chicago performer who has been dominating shows throughout the Midwest in preparation for the Summer release of his new project. Already encouraging prime placement on major sites and finding its way into the crates of the countries' premier DJs, this is yet another reason why people should not sleep on 'MR ROBOTIC.'

ps.
Before you gloss over this post, don't sleep on the kid. He's gotten rave reviews in The Source magazine and has worked with the Cool Kids and fM's favorite twins, Christian Rich. Listen to the new single "Mr. Robotic" (located below) and don't forget to peep his MySpace AND to follow him on twitter.

Fruity Fingers

There is a huge possibility that I'm a bit late on this new Revlon nail polish craze. Anyhow, I came across it today and still felt the need to share. To sum it up, it's a nail polish that gives off a fruity scent once it dries. Don't believe me? Here's the word from Revlon:

Revlon® has developed a gorgeous color collection of luscious nail enamels. The 8 shades are inspired by the freshness of exotic summer fruits and infused with succulent tropical scents. Each fruit shade has a matching fruit scent when the enamel is dry.

The 8 yummy shades are: Coconut Crush, Mad about Mango, Pretty Papaya, Sublime Strawberry, Raspberry Rapture, Passionate Fruit, and Not So Blue-Berry.

Lily Allen's i-D

Allen graces the cover of the August issue i-D magazine. According to her website she was "Photographed by Alasdair McLellan and styled by Kate Moss." In the i-D article she discusses fame and which Spice Girl she would choose to be. I'm a big Lily fan so this magazine will definitely be making its way into my periodical collection!
