i guess the downside....
to not watching BET and MTV and VH1 is that it takes me forever to find songs that get played on the regular. I heard this song all of 7 times (maybe) in the last 6 months and I could NOT figure out who was singing or rapping on this song. I LOVE IT! and I'm glad I found it!

NOT to get wild drunk this holiday weekend and actually learn something in between the alcohol and drugs.
Enslaved Africans were emancipated in New York state on July 4, 1827, because of threats of violence African Americans in New York City celebrated this important holiday outdoors on July 5th instead. Come commemorate this forgotten time of Independence at Weeksville in conjunction with BAM about Brooklyn. -- via BrooklynBodega

when I went to that....
hip-hop show at the Knitting Factory a couple of weeks ago, I stopped by the Secret Society Clothing table on my way out and picked this sticker up.
Interesting...
at the risk of sounding....
big headed, often enough, people ask me where I get my hair done. Well... I go to Shelly's.

They've just re-done the whole shop over and it looks GREAT! More pics below...
I'm definitely not telling you guys who does my hair specifically because I'd like for her to be available when I go! All the ladies that work there do a great job though and almost all of The Socialites (and our moms) go to Shelly's.
Contrary to what some thought, this was not my hair. I got a weave for prom in 2006 and my hairdresser at Shelly's did it. Even if the girls could tell, the guys couldn't.
This was after I rinsed my hair black. It was kind of cool for a while, but red is more my color.
And a couple of the other Socialites who go to Shelly's regularly.
I was going CRAZY....
Monday night/early Tuesday morning trying to figure out if what I was seeing was a joke. This "Be Kanye" commercial came on about 4 or 5 times on channel 11 (the only channel I watch) and no one I asked about it had seen it.

For an in depth look at what this means literally, look below.
Thanks to Dwight for mentioning to me that it had something to do with Absolute vodka. After doing a bit more googling, I finally found the video. All I can say about the video is WHOA!
ABSOLUT(R) VODKA, the most influential spirits brand in the world, announces a collaboration with musical genius and 10x GRAMMY(R) award-winning artist Kanye West that will join two icons of style together for a series of projects throughout 2008. Their creative ventures begin with sponsorship of the Glow in the Dark Tour 2008 Ignited By ABSOLUT 100, and will continue as West works with the brand to bring his signature style into nightlife arenas and marketing campaigns in a daring and provocative fashion. As part of the brand's 'In An ABSOLUT World' advertising campaign, West, along with other artistic luminaries, will share his vision of life in an ABSOLUT World through online testimonials and interpretations.
"I have a lot of respect and admiration for a brand that was so ahead of its time in terms of seeing the value of collaborating with the creative community to express a unique vision of ABSOLUT. This is a brand that has worked with the pre-eminent artists of the 20th Century -- Tom Ford, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Helmut Newton. These are individuals who have inspired me in my work, and I feel honored to be a part of this legacy," said Kanye West. "What I'm most excited about is the opportunity to help push ABSOLUT in even more scintillating ways through a collaboration that puts me both in front of and behind the camera." -- via PRN

Yume is doing it....
again.
If you've been to a Yume party before, you already know how they get down.
My advice to the ladies attending: Do not... DO NOT get your hair done! You will be very sorry. Pull it back in a cute ponytail or a sleek bun and keep it moving. It gets pretty warm in there so make sure you put on enough swipes of deodorant. That goes for the guys too!
Heaven or Hell @ Yume
