Californians were on fire!

.0d.3. — Sat, 27 Oct 2007 22:50:55 +0000

So we recently had like 10 fires going on at once. It was pretty bad. I stop to think, why?! Well could it be the cause of global warming? Thats my theory. I think all these fires are a foreshadow of what is to become of our lands. Sadly, people have lost their homes but more importantly [...]

RACISIM: As American as Apple Pie

Mikey1Soul — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 16:47:21 +0000

As this JENA 6 story grows more and more everyday, I start to wish that I will wake up soon from this nightmare that something this racist can still go on today. Why do I still live in this type of country. How can our kids grow up in this. But I realize that I [...]

romeo — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 13:31:53 +0000

You all have probably heard the first single off the C.D, Blue Magic produced by Pharell. I dont know what yall thought….but i was kind of dissapointed. the single was very lack luster. Now i know [...]

OJ Simpson….why oh why

romeo — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 13:24:58 +0000

What the hell is wrong with OJ Simpson?! One would think that after being found not guilty for a crime they most likely did, you would be on your best behavior. But oh no…not Orenthal James Simpson. Orenthal then runs around town with young women who look similiar to his deceased ex wife, writes a [...]

Going Soft

MiLo — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 18:49:17 +0000

Walking Tall, Scorpion King, the Rundown. I was actually starting to get a little impressed with The Rock. Could he really be America's big action star? Someone to take the place of the 80s heroes like Stallone, Schwarzanegger, and Van Damme? Not a far stretch, he's got good size, attitude, and a pretty good track [...]

Podcast of the week: ThreadBanger

Ashakeda — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 17:07:56 +0000

ThreadBanger podcast is a do-it-yourself fashion with a rock en espanol feel to it. The host Rob and Corrine are quite hilarious and down to earth. They show you how to do some of the projects using simple things that you probably already own in your closet. As their motto goes: The first network [...]

Badgley Mischka

Ashakeda — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 17:37:26 +0000

The dynamic duo Badgley Mischka did it again. Their New York ready-to-wear spring 2008 collection looks fabulous! Clean lines, hints of art deco and casual wear shown in their collection. Here are my favorites from their collection. Mark Badgley and [...]

Carolina Herrera

Ashakeda — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 16:21:23 +0000

I was watching the video of Carolina Herrera's New York spring 2008 collection, and I got to say I feel lukewarm on the overall collection. I have seen her other collections in the past that has wowed me before… This collection feels like a spring [flowers] bouquet. One thing I do love about her collection is [...]

Knotts Scary Farm

MiLo — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 01:33:55 +0000

Ok, so I know Halloween's like over a month away, but I gotta admit it's one of my favorite holidays. Wild parties, crazy costumes, and free candy. You can't go wrong with that! And if you live in SoCal, one of the best spook-filled traditions has to be Knotts Scary Farm. An amusement park open [...]

Freak of the Week

MiLo — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 01:17:53 +0000

Now that OJ's in trouble again, all of the shady characters from the last trial are peeping up to throw in their 2 cents. Anyone remember prosecutor Marcia Clark? The crummy lawyer who threw a slam dunk case down the toilet? Anyway, she's back to try and make a few bucks in the prestigious role [...]

Note to Britney Spears

MiLo — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 01:11:33 +0000

Don't do a parking lot hit and run with like a million papparazzi filming you. Check out her latest mess here. Now she's getting charged with like a $1,000 fine and up to six months in jail (not likely). Duh!

Review on “Across the Universe

.0d.3. — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 02:36:31 +0000

So last night my boyfriend took me to the Arclight in Hollywood to see the infamous film "Across the Universe." Although i had extremely high expectations it didnt fail to meet almost all of them. Even if it had some monotonous scenes it still made me laugh, cry and even get chills at some points. I [...]

Diane Von Furstenberg

Ashakeda — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 02:05:25 +0000

Diane Von Furstenberg is well known for her wrap dress in the late 70’s. For the spring/summer 2008 collection, I felt that some of the pieces in her collection remind me of safari in the sub-Sahara Africa. Overall I do enjoy her designs and I think her wrap dress design is a classic that many [...]

Adios El Tojo

MiLo — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 17:22:55 +0000

The Latin music world took a hit this week with the loss of legendary Cuban trombonist Generoso "El Tojo" Jimenez. Never one to take retirement lying down, his career lasted decades, and was still going strong! He even guested on Gloria Estefan's new album at age 90! RIP Sr. Jimenez. Check out one of his greatest albums here.

Ashakeda — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 15:29:13 +0000

Joking about arresting people for their fashion choices was just among the fashionistas and style mavens. And now some lawmakers are actually implementing that law. The saggy pants are now been targeted and are actually might end up in jail or fine. Read more here… Saggy Pants Fad Finds Crackdowns [...]

Copenhagen Street Style

Ashakeda — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 15:10:56 +0000

The mega name designers are not the only ones influencing fashion on people. There is a lot of people that bring their own personal fashion. And you can see them everywhere. While I was surfing the Internet for new and interesting street style, I stumbled upon the copenhagenstreetstyle.dk website. So far I’ve selected this two [...]

59th Annual Emmy Awards

Ashakeda — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 21:46:53 +0000

The Emmy Fashion on the red carpet. I’ve created my list of the ladies’ best and worst dressed for this year’s Emmy awards. I’ve also created a category for the ladies that their look was not complete or was missing the whole star quality. Best overall star quality look are: Christina Aguilera in Valentino Katherine [...]

The OJ Book

MiLo — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 06:40:27 +0000

I gotta admit, I'm a little confused about the OJ confession book. First the family one of his alleged murder victims, Ron Goldman, spoke out very vocally about his so-called Confession book and how evil it was to profit off the deaths of their son and OJ's ex-wife Nicole, but now they're going ahead and [...]

i rather they don’t

Eye on You — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 23:21:40 +0000

I promised I was not going to go into the Britney/Lohan/Paris world, but I have to. Rumors are spreading regarding Britney Spears appearing at this Sunday's Primetime Emmy® Awards broadcast on FOX (8/7 CT). Guess what for? She will apologize for her unforgivable /unforgettable performance at the MTV Video Music Awards. In case you missed [...]

Would you be surprised if I tell you that not everything at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in NYC is great? Of course not! I wil not only tell you that some collections were simply NOT suppposed to be allowed on the runway but I will show you some examples. Even the models look a [...]

Love Wisdom: No Laughing Matter

Sujeiry — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 23:47:48 +0000

Some men have frowned upon my recent definition of a mighty good man. They have laughed themselves silly because I defined my former, hot-music-man as a good man after he stated he only wanted a romp in the hay. Well, go ahead and laugh your heads off. Laugh till your tummies hurt and your tear [...]

"El patriotismo require la ofrenda y en esto no hay parcialidad. O todo o nada." Today marks the b-day of one the greatest Independance fighters of Puerto Rico's Time. My aunt, my grandmothers sister Titi Tere, used to roll with Don Albizu back in day and she used to tell me stories about him, She was [...]

Fashion Rocks

Ashakeda — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 16:37:57 +0000

I was watching the Fashion Rocks special and I was bit disappointed in the aspect of not showing as much the fashion part of the show. It was more about the music than fashion. I love the artists that performed. They all did a great job. I was looking forward to seeing more fashion, [...]

Pedro Albizu Campos: A Hero for all Latin Americans

RebelArte — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 16:26:13 +0000

Simon Bolivar, Jose Marti, Che Guevara, we know the names of these liberators and countless others, but seldom outside of Puerto Rico do I hear the name of Pedro Albizu Campos. Actually the name was uttered countless times by Che Guevara himself who testified before the United Nations asking that the u.s. stop torturing him in [...]

John Frieda Frizz Ease

Ashakeda — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 14:53:16 +0000

Ever since I moved to Florida my hair has become a fuzzy puffball. With all this humidity my hair did not have style whatsoever. For a while I wore my hair in a ponytail (more like a pony fuzz ball), wearing lots bandana or a hat. I tried many products and none worked. I was [...]
