'Nightmare on My Street' - DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince

I’m sure every other blogger will post Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ since it’s Halloween but even though I love that song, I think I’m fonder of ‘Nightmare on My Street.’ I used to love this song!

Have a safe and fun Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Halloween Drinks

Happy Halloween!

Brain Hemmorage

1 oz Peach schnapps

First, pour the peach schnapps. Then, slowly pour the Irish Cream. Do not mix! The Creme will clump together and settle at the bottom of the schnapps.

Jamie Foxx's 'Just Like Me' featuring T.I.

Is Jamie Foxx back? Just released, ‘Just Like Me’ features T.I. and it is slated to be on Jamie’s new album. I like it, though the chorus kinda reminds me of a male version of Mariah Carey’s ‘Touch My Body.’ Still hot though.

Breakfast at Tiffany's

I was re-watching one of my favorite movies, “Breakfast At Tiffany’s” and I’m still in awe at how fly Holly Golightly was. From her simple but chic dresses when she traveled to see Sally Tomato to her accessories when she slept.

With roommates and loud noise from the city streets, I often wish I could have a pair of Holly Golightly’s tassel earplugs to block out the distracting noise of the night to get some much needed beauty sleep.

Ear Plugs by Jen Gen has made the cutest earplug tassels that remind me of Ms. Golightly. And for $ 5.99 a pop, I say it’s a cheap investment to ensure my beauty rest.




I’m also going to pick up the Holly Golightly sleep mask to fully get my Audrey Hepburn on. How funky is this sleep mask? Sleep mask sold here.

Cherish's 'Bump Like Some Speakers'

I just found this Timberland produced track from the all girl group Cherish. I like the chorus up until they sing how we’re gonna bump like speakers, the lyrics before that are actually good lyrics and they sound mature, but the whole bumping like speakers throws me off. I think they like comparing love to items, I used to play their song, 'Chevy' out but again they compared love making to being treated like a chevy.

Hottie from Flavor of Love 2 attended Howard University’s homecoming YardFest last Friday. The only reason I’m featuring her is to serve as an example of what is NOT fly. Come on Hottie, you know you can get a better weave and blonde just isn't your color. The hair, the makeup, the outfit, everything is just all-wrong.

WOOF!

New Beauty Product: Shiny Mama hits stores!

Yana Chupenko, the original “Shiny Mama” came to United States as a child from Ukraine in the mid 70’s and settled in Queens, New York. She fell in love with the New York cultured and took images from the streets’ glitter of broken glass and the vibe of rock roll and started her band, Shiny Mama.

Fly Song: “One More Drink” by Ludacris featuring T-Pain

This song makes me laugh. I can’t say I agree with the lyrics but I’m sure some people can definitely relate. The Grey Goose gets everyone loose according to this song. Ludacris’ album, “Theater of the Mind” is slated to hit stores on November 25, 2008.

Stylish and Green

There is nothing more satisfying then being fly and environmentally conscious at the same time. Vivien Cheng has a collection where each piece is a revived vintage bag featuring a stellar hand-painted motif. Sexy! Shop for her collection here.

Obama Style!

Wow, how hot is Obama? He is a global icon. Check out the Obama dress that debuted in Paris for fashion week. I would so rock this dress everywhere! Now a McCain dress? That's not ever going to happen. I've seen Republican shirts on sale at Urban Outfitters since August, even at a markdown price, they can't sell that sh*t! Take that Sarah Palin!
