men i'm in the mood for


mmmhh....here are some examples of men i'm in the mood for: jason morgan (steve burton from general hospital) and nasty nas.
if you haven't caught scenes of jason, the silent but deadly hitman with a heart of gold, then you are truly missing out. honestly, i pity you. he was the geeky caterpillar that emerged into a sexy, buffed man in black. take a peek weekdays at three on abc ( i know, sounds like a commercial).
then there's nas. nas, what is there to say? handsome, intelligent, laidback with a large dose of boyish charm= a recipe for a hip-hop crush. considering going to see him in concert along with another hottie, damien marley.
once again, you're very welcome...

ruffles, lace, cinched in waists



two looks from lookbook that i've been holding in my arsenal of pics for quite some time. nothing more to say except i adore everything about them. they have some of my favorite elements: fab eyeliner, flouncy short skirts, patterned lace stockings, ruffles, cinched in waistlines...

content as the sky


so much to love about this image. the polka dots, the fire engine red hair in contrast to the navy blue & white, the lovely sky, the look of pure contentment...just to name a few. makes me feel GOOD (like james)!

chasing amy



impatiently awaiting amy winehouse's new project. last i heard, the retro songbird had pulled it together quite a bit. i'm happy to hear that because this type of talent would be a shame to waste.

ciao,

fefe d...


the adorable (and apparently well ahead of her time) fefe dobson. many successful artists have taken her persona, tweaked it and rode the gravy train to success leaving in her in the underrated lane. this post, however, pays honor to the original. love the haircut!

cultured...barkley hendricks edition


i was highly pissed at myself for missing barkley hendricks' exhibition last march at the studio museum of harlem. as some sort of compensation, i was able to find an image of one of his works and share the beauty with you lucky bastards. if you like, please look him up and see when his work will be in your neighborhood. and then make sure you go see it! your very welcome...

runaway rock

loving this pic of kristen stewart as joan jett. this weekend the movie should be out in most theatres and i plan on seeing it. there should be plenty of fashion inspiration in it and hopefully a great storyline! keep you posted on that...

nylon stalkings...lil kim



nylon is one of my go-to magazines for fashion information. i came across an old edition with lil kim as the cover girl and thought i would share. the current issue features zoe saldana as its cover girl and apparently its been a loooooooong time since the front cover had any brown sugar on it.

when a man loves a woman


i truly love a man who truly loves a woman...
yes i can, jenna pearle*

true to you
























be true to you...breaking away from the pack shows strength and beauty. that is the message i'm aiming for with these incredible images. i chose amber rose in this outfit because i like that she sometimes throws us for a loop with her non-sexy outfits. these images of her in baggy clothes and sneakers are more shocking than her usual outlandish choices.

money, power, respect

ps. just realized this blog doesn't have enough oprah. that will soon be rectified...

badu's back


badu is back, y'all. and she ain't playin'...if you haven't already jumped on to her bandwagon, then hurry up and get to jumpin. i've been smitten with the baduizm ever since her appearance on that "lady" remix of d'angelo's. if you need a refresher course, however, i've dug up her passionista style profile from last year. get acquainted when you click...http://passionistaplace.blogspot.com/2009/10/ms-badu-to-you.html

inspire me

this is an image of my style inspiration for next week. i call it glamorous bohemian chic with a side of the 70s. i have the weekend to figure out how i'm going to pull this off. keep ya posted!

btw, that spring like weather that had me in good spirits has disappeared. *=*

Yeah!!!

i am not particularly pleased with usher's public image lately. i think that its pretty classless to air the specifics of your marriage (or former marriage) out in public. To exploit that for money and popularity is even worse. haven't really listened to much of his current music either. however, i must admit that when i do see him on the blogs ect., he is usually well groomed and looking hot. this day was no exception.
