"Fashion For Haiti"

Some of the most prominent members of the Council of Fashion Designers of America have put their seal of approval on the CFDA's latest philanthropic effort. The proceeds from their $25 t-shirts goes toward the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund.

I know you know someone who might know someone who has been affected by the disastrous earth quake. Watch the promo and get inspired...

Side Note: Betsy Johnson is soooo weird!

Chris Brown Gettin' Dirty

Breezy working hard! Community service at its best... (Intenet photos are the best)



I wonder what the cop's are saying...


Whistle while you work...

"Baby I'm a winner! You didn't even make it to 12 rounds."



The Biker Jacket

Is it an extension of "Black boy swag, white boy tags?" ...not really.

One of the trends for Fall 2009 seems to be the "biker jacket" for both men and women. (Yay for coeds!). If they're leather they're pricy... but the jacket doesn't have to be the material, but more of the look. Lots of zippers, and flappy collars that can zip up to the top should get you by with your recession-pockets...



7 For All Mankind (Women's)

Balmain (Men's)


Lil Mama #FAIL

So basically it wasn't until she got home and watched it on the internet that she felt stupid...

Nigga...this ain't church! You don't catch the Holy "New York" Ghost and walk up to the alter.
This is the VMA's...on national television.. SMH!!!

Kanye is still a nice guy...



So he may be a rude dumb butt sometimes, but at least he gives back! Maybe this auction will refill his "good karma" bank.

Kanye is doing this whole sneaker thing, and I'm by no means a sneakerhead, I just know what looks good. Recently, the Air Jordan VI x Nike Air Yeezy Doernbecher ::size 12:: was put up for auction to help raise money for kids at the Doernbecher Children's Hospital. The shoe is pretty G... but only one rich person will be able to rock it.

(Buddy in the video is kinda loud and annoying, but you get the point)

Ye loves the kids... except Taylor Swift.. lol

"Balenciagas, the ones talked about by the Fashion Bloggas"

It's a Fabolous line... whose album by the way is GREAT! ....

But Balenciaga is a high-end brand that had a better-than-decent pret-a-porter collection for fall... I don't really know how to characterize the brand if you're not familiar, but they're known for having those turban-looking bubble skirts and flyyy accessories.

Cristobol Balenciaga was a spanish guy (no, not French)... and he's dead.
The HNIC is Nicolas Ghesquiere... watch the short video so you get an idea of what's about to hit stores... and what the copycats like Forever 21 will probably start making there stuff look like...

VMA's ...smh

So I am officially not a fan of watching award shows by 2nd tier organizations (BET, MTV, etc). Not that they're not legit, but you've definitely achieved something when you win a Grammy (or Emmy, Academy Award, Tony Award, Oscar... you get it)...a moon man?? eeh not so much.
But since Twitter and Facebook was just going crazy over the stunts pulled last night, I just had to make my one...maybe two comments.

First Jigga Man and Alicia Keys...





First of all, Jay-Z and his dramatic "jump-right-on-stage" performance was so cliche...but funny.
Second of all... Alicia Keys is so cool! I was wondering why she was grasping that piano for dear life, but I realized her shoes were two broken ankles waiting to happen...she's still flyy tho.

And Lil Mama... WTF?! Jay-Z was like "Is this chick serious" ...she needs to find her niche somewhere, under a rock.

*********************************************

Secondly... Kanye..SIGH!!!



Was that necessary? Here's his apology... luckily he's an established person in the industry. Because if this were someone like Chris Brown or Nick Cannon... Career?? #FAIL
