good hair

Chris Rock came out with this documentary on Black women's hair for the Sundance Festival. It took me a while but I finally watched it. Its kind of amazing. It made me realize that I don't know crap about Black women's hair and what they have to go through. I 've learned that hair relaxer is sodium hydroxide, the stuff my science teacher used to warn us about. It burns right through your skin and causes permanent damage to your lungs.
Ice T is one of the best commenters. I mean he is Ice T, he's a cool dude . Although he is pretty funny, I regret that his lovely wife ,Coco, isnt in it. The money in this industry is insane. Forget relaxers, the weave industry alone is a multiple billion dollar business. Peppa from salt and Peppa has spent 150,000 dollars on her life on weaves alone. It looks so painful. It follows this hair show in Atlanta , which is the best part. And surprisingly Koreans dominate the profit margin of the products.

camping

I love will oldham and camping. He has a nice smile. I watched Old Joy this weekend. I have never been camping before. I went a tent and a sleeping bag and a fire and maybe a cast iron pot cooking something over it. Im planning to go to Portland this summer.. maybe camping there would be amazing.

Frida Kahlo

I finally watched the movie Frida starring the vivacious Salma Hayek. She was good in this role, but I think I just love her because of her current reoccuring role on 30 rock.
Interesting facts about the actress
1. from a wealthy family
2. is dyslexic
3. an accomplished gymnast at a young age
4. picked up smoking while method acting for the role of Frida
Interesting facts about Frida Kahlo
1. She had polio at young age making one leg thinner than the other
2. She boxed as a child
3. was in a bus accident that gave her pain for the rest of her life
4. because of the accident she became a full time painter

And now for.. too much information

John McCain's daughter Meghan with an h is having a case of the whoas these days. Apparently she is blogging about her love life, or lack their of. She is telling the world her boo hoo's of how politics has interfered with her dating status. She slides into the conversation oh so strategically that she is turned off by people who voted for Barack Obama by "counter balancing it" with the fact that she is just as turned of by obsessive fans who voted for her Dad. If apathy is what you want my dear, perhaps take a step back from the lime light and loosen the reigns on your father boot straps. Its hard out there for a public figure. Perhaps blogging about your disdain for association with him will create, let see, .. more of an association. If you want to date people that aren't so closely involved with American politics go travel, although you might have a tough time because of the world's Obama fans. He is pretty GQ.

pinkerton

A rare pink bottle nose dolphin is all the rage these days. Every gossip blog has got it covered, must have been a slow day.

OH HELL

Meet the foxalicious Richard Hell. Dude was part of the old art music scene in New York, the hey day of people like Television and Patti Smith. He had a bunch of different bands but probably best known for Richard Hell and the Voidoids and their song Blank Generation.

He looks like every fashion punk craphead around today but good old Rich is actually credited with inspiring the style of the Sex Pistols. Good boy. Ripped jeans and safety pins for everyone!

Listen.

I Capitulate.

(Yo I cannot, not can my lady love pickupyoursocks, fix the broken thing in the world that makes it impossible for me to post video. Is it lame to post links? I think so. Who wants the extra work of clicking to another site? NO ONE.

If a mime falls in the woods and no one is hanging out with him or her at the moment, do we hear that mime? NO. The mime is quiet and knows that no one wants to listen to a dumb mime anyway.)

Jackson C Frank

To top it off, one day while Frank was sitting on a bench some damn kids shot him in the eye with a bb gun and blinded him. Soap opera poetry in the worst way. He died of a heart attack in his 50's. Oye.

Want to look at dumb pictures and feel like shit?

SNAKES in Brooklyn. The Gothamist is reporting the old urban legend story.. snake crawls in through toliet.


For your enjoyment snakes on a plane lyrics.. now we can all sing along. It's pure poetry.

It (Snakes On A Plane)"
Times are strange
We've got a free upgrade
For snakes on a plane
Fuck 'em, I don't care
Pop the cheap champagne
We're going down in flames, hey

Oh! I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it![x4]

So kiss me goodbye
Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye
I can see the venom in their eyes
Goodbye

It's time to fly
Tonight the sky's alive
With lizards serpentine
Lounging in their suits and ties
Watch the whore's parade
For the price of fame, hey

Oh! I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it![x4]

So kiss me goodbye
Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye
I can see the venom in their eyes

So kiss me goodbye
Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye
I can see the venom in their eyes
Goodbye

Ladies and gentlemen,
These snakes is slitherin'
With dollar signs in their eyes
With tongues so reptilians
This industry's venomous
With cold-blooded sentiments
No need for nervousness
It's just a little turbulence

So kiss me goodbye
Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye
I can see the venom in their eyes

So kiss me goodbye
Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye
I can see the venom in their eyes
Goodbye

Oh! I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it![x4]

We seem to be losing altitude at an alarming pace
From midtown to downtown
Snakes on a blog
I suggest you grab your ankles and kiss your ass goodbye

Cupcakin!

And this is just .. well you know , more cupcakes! hooray!

Happy Friday

I hope that everyone is popping popcorn and watching horror movies tonight. The remake of Friday the 13th comes out tonight. Maybe I'll netflix it but it looks pretty awful!

Chris Brown Town

Ever since the no show episode of R&B singer Chris Brown and girlfriend pop star Rihanna we can’t stop hearing about them. These two are everywhere. Even D list celebrities and alleged family members are coming out from the woodwork to put in their two bits about the incident. The good news is at least we get a break from having to watch that 90s club commercial featuring Brown. After Brown’s arrest for beating on his pop star lady friend, it appears that the troubled entertainer has lost his endorsement deal with Wrigley. It’s shocking that Wrigley wouldn’t want domestic abuse to be their new poster child for their new improved slim pack. MTV released a report from Wrigley stating, "Wrigley is concerned by the serious allegations made against Chris Brown. We believe Mr. Brown should be afforded the same due process as any citizen. We have made the decision to suspend the current advertising featuring Brown and any related marketing communications until the matter is resolved". This sweet deal lost its flavor a little too fast due to Brown’s actions. So between loosing his endorsement and having to dodge punches from Jay Z it looks like it won’t be double the fun in Chris Brown town.

Current Obsession

I am currently obsessed with zoey deschanel. I love She & Him, the band she started with M. WArd. 1000 cute points.

2ofhearts

I am not going to lie, I might want to see 'Two Lovers'. Hopefully Phoenix stunt on Letterman created some kind of positive publicity for the film because I think it actually looks decent.
It's a total chic flick! This would be a guilty pleasure. I can get past Joaquin but after reading DLISTEd I can't help but look at Gwenyth a little differently. Director James Grey also put out The Yards, which was dark and decent. Two Lovers comes out tonight.

YIKES

The Plane Crash in Clarence NY only adds to my fear of flying. The commercial flight nose dived directly into a residential home, injuring the occupants. Barack sent out a message of condolence to the friends and family of the 50 people who have died. What an awful tragedy.

I also just realized it's Friday the 13th.

Greymatter

For those of you who still watch Grey's Anatomy ( even after Izzy starts hanging out with Deny her dead fiance) it appears that Katherine Heigl and TR Knight are finally going to get out of their contracts. I feel like those two stop caring a long time ago. They apparently both are leaving simply because they want to move on to other things. I would want to move on too, because the writing from that show went from barely believable to ridiculous so fast.

testing.

Hello. I am a person who is supposed to put up rad musical choices for the world's pleasure. But I am less than smart and can't figure out the pasting of vids. 

So eat this pic for now. His name is Nick Cave.

Vids to come.

Shepard Fairey was arrested in Boston on Friday night. He was on his way to his solo show at the Institute of Contemporary Art. when he was arrested for unknown warrants for two Andre the Giant pieces that were recently put up while the artist was in town.

happy friday!!

Current Obsession

Welcome to current obsessions: This weeks current obsession is caitlin mom pants.


The 80's have come back for us again.Ahead of the current trend, a friend bought what I have come to know only as "mom pants" from a thrift store in Michigan. At first I wondered were they stretched out leggings? Perhaps they are a flawed pair of leggings in which the manufacture had hemmed the crouch a bit too large. It is easy to become obsessed with such a trend because its a hard trend to grasp. They have already traveled down the glamorous path of high fashion to urban wear. You can find them on the racks of urban outfitters, at the free people store or in boutiques in the LES.

quixotic

Does anyone else have love for missed connections? I go through phases of reading them while secretly trying to recall if I was the one on the 6 train that night or if I was wearing my blue hoodie and doing a Times crossword. A year ago a young Wall Street man stumble into Union Pool and decided to post messages to a young hipster vixen. He told her he would take her away from those dirty kids and show her a real man. It sparked some anger on the missed connections page. Between postings of "hot asian girl on L train" people left a lot of angry rebuttals against Wall Street dude, but hey karma came for him this year, so no worries. But that is not what missed connections is for people! Its all about that subway love. That love when you notice someone so hard while they are busy thinking about how they are late for work or what they are going to eat for lunch. Or when you try to see what book they are reading and say hey I could totally be with that Tuesdays with Morrie Chic. You envision bottomless cups of coffee in the sun filled kitchen you share as she makes you perfectly buttered toast. I only know one person who actually found a missed connections that was about him, but he dresses like a ridiculous asshole so he was easy to spot, wearing short shorts in the winter. Of course he didn't appreciate his discovery like I would. He brushed it off but as probably some ugly chic. I'm thankful for such poetry as "R Train... Unpleasant smell... - w4m -". R train women confesses her love for R train male by painting the beautiful scene of their meeting. She writes, "
R train.. from Steinway... the scent was horrible... you were reading and editing a document. I was just curious.

Just wanted to say hi! was unable to say anything... I got off before you.

First time posting something like this... just thought I'd go out on a limb.

:)
Yes girl you did go out on a limb with that smiley icon. To me before my current boyfriend who I adore icons of any sort were an absolute turn off. I hope R train man stumbles across this and remembers that stench. I like the next one because at 43 he is still searching for that special someone and writing beautiful beautiful words girl.

"girl with the ample bosom - m4w - 43 (your dreams).
"i saw you at the table, you whispered in my ear and then ran off to be utterly fabulous. where have you absconded to? without you my days are meaningless and my nights have no end. please return and rock me as falco instructed amadeus to do."

Once in a while you get the occasional baby I'm so sorry do you still love me posts or here is my picture am I attractive please rate me posts. These are all part of the entertainment found on missed connections.

Recession Obsession

So bare with me. There is this help group for the woes of woman who are dating once rich bankers. They have a BLOG called Dating A Banker Anonymous and have meetings and all. It's the real deal. There tag line is either extremely funny or highly disturbing. It goes as follows "So if your monthly Bergdorf’s allowance has been halved and bottle service has all but disappeared from your life, lighten your heart with laughter and email your stories to dabagirls@gmail.com. Warning all stories sent will be infused with our own special brand of DABA Girl humor." The postings I saw were girls that were worried that the fiance wanted to relocate them to the suburbs or fighting through black berry texting. Its like Lauren Weisberger took a big shit on their blog. These life saga's could be turned into a movie staring Kate Hudson. I'm sure there are some legitimately sad sob stories. But I will never feel bad for women who spend other peoples money. Or those who couldn't make their man see all his self worth wasn't in his salary, before he lost his salary. Let's learn to work for it, and love what we have. You can learn more about the DABA girls on NYTIMES online. . The time's reports that a young ladies boyfriend tells her to stop complaining about dinners and vacations because he had to fire 20 people at the end of the week. So she really needs this help group to talk about this stuff. Perhaps the recession can save people from being complete assholes their whole lives. Let's hope something good comes of this.

the nod heard around the world

Here is another case of assness. This poor man by the name of John Coleman was marching in his little marching band during the inauguration. He gets a little giddy because GQ Obama waves at him and John winks and nods back. Well apparently that is against regulations and they suspended him for 6 months. That's right, 6 months, for a slight nod and wink. He has been a drum major for 17 years. So he quit. Good for him!

leggo my alter egos

First there was Joaquin and his rap career, and now there is Kayne and his...hair and now.. confusion..

A message from kwest on Vimeo.

In this video Kanye lets it be know that he should now be referred to as Martin Louis the King Jr. Is this going to be some kind of trend among the famies... the male up the skirt shot? Is this serious like a Joey Fatone career change? I doubt it. Are these boys actually going to create art? If so, I'm into it.

hey ladies!!

Apparently the rise of man boobs are up these days!! As a woman I had no idea it was such a huge concern!



The BBC reports that excessive man breasts can occur because;
Pubertal gynaecomastia,
sees breast tissue grow due to hormonal imbalance
Breast growth can be side effect of drugs used to suppress prostate cancer
Can be caused by genetic condition like Klinefelter's Syndrome
Obesity
Anabolic steroid use.

Well that sucks.
At least there will always be those who are turned on by others turn offs.

idiotarod

When I lived in Greenpoint once a year I would unexpectedly see a group of kids in costumes with shopping carts running Franklin Street. The time is near. All of Williamsburg can channel there inner jocks proudly. The sixth annual Idiotarod race is on Jan 31st!. You can register your team for 25 bucks by clicking here. If you don't participate its always fun to watch. The teams really go all out. My favorite was a few years ago, when a team paid homage to Rod Stewart. It was pretty rad. Ive never made it out. It's on a Sat at 9 am. I'm still working on a Monday at 9 am.

John Updike

John Updike passes away at the age of 76. His passing was just announced and wikipedia has declared it official.I've never read any of his "Rabbit" books, but now I really want to pick them up.





He brought us the novel The Witches of Eastwick, which I remember because it was turned into that really awesome Cher movie. There is a great cherry eating scene in that movie.

Something for your lonely Monday nights

Canadian boys play residency show at Piano's and sleep on my couch every Monday this month. Check out Hollerado @ 11pm on Mon February 2nd. Lady Sovereign has a set before them It should be a good time. You should come and buy me a drink. You can also get there new album for free on their website.

Ox (patient, self-sacrificing, jealous, rigid): 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009

Happy Chinese New Year!!


Chinese New Years was yesterday. It's the year of the Ox. The Ox symbolizes hard work and humility. I am not an Ox. I got out of work early and was going to by some fish at a market in China town, but everything was closed. The only that seemed to be going one was a lot of party poppers. There were party poppers of all sizes and people of all sizes gettin a little crazy. I should have brought my camera. I saw the tiniest little boy beg an uncle type figure to by him one. The little boy pulled the string to the popper right at the plastic folding table in the sales ladies face. It didn't phase anyone, not even the lady having the confetti get all in her face. I wish I got to to see the dragon parade. That's my favorite part.

Here is for all my RATS :
Rats (hard-working, thrifty, quick-tempered, neurotic): 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008
Water (pig, rat, ox): Skillful communicators but can be too passive
My year seems promising and kind of dead on.. right down to me having to get my lazy bones to the gym!

Current Read

Im finally reading something by Miranda July. I picked up No on Belongs Here More Than You. . I wanted to read something by her since I saw Me You and Everybody We Know .

Michelle Yes You Can!

Yesterday my friends and I went to Teddy's and to have some celebratory bloody marys. I loved how excited and how involved everyone was. During Rick Warren's bullshit about God loving all people some girl yelled " even gays", which really makes me happy to know that living in Brooklyn is better than living in most places.. Aretha Franklin's Hat was questionable, but girl can sing! I got goosebumps. Because I'm getting into blogging a few years too late, I decided to research what other bloggers felt on Aretha's attire. A lot of bloggers are getting pissed about people even mentioning the hat. This is coming from a culture that is obsessed with Brit Brit Vag shots. If you are a public figure its all game. I also can say I truly love Ellen.

Oh and Michelle, hooray for yellow.- "Yellow is the color of friendship". "Pineapples are also".

Asch's Birthday Weekend

My roommate has an extensive VHS horror Collection. We all watched WoodChipper Massacre this weekend while enjoying some white Russians.
