Where are my African designers at??

We have got to do better! I mean when I first saw this picture, I thought hmmm, maybe Fergie decided she was in an Afrocentric mood that morning. But, I come to find out that this is an actual clothing line?! Now, I am not gonna diss the line, the clothes are cute and the designs are original. But, i think any Nigerian person would agree, better yet, any African person would agree that these pieces favor the prints and designs of our native wear. I mean, I feel kind of exploited in a sense. I dont understand why some African person couldnt have come up with this idea and made BEAUCOUP BUCKS off Americans to buy the clothing that people in Africa are wearing on a daily basis..sheeesh! No disrespect to Maya Lake, the owner of the company who makes these clothes, or her vision for her clothing line. SMH...sighhh just a little "h-annoye-ed"(dont't jealous me =]), just giving random rich "priveliged" people access to be all afrocentric all willy nilly haha...anyways, If you wanna pay an arm and a leg for some cute African clothes, you can go to this website boxingkitten.com





Added note: As a young Nigerian girl, I have taken it upon myself to create some clothes that celebrate Nigerian culture. 

you can purchase tops and sweatshirts with this logo at designsbyofunne.bigcartel.com! =]

what would you do??

if your son was at home....remember CITY HIGH!!! I used to love them...well except for that Caramel song haha (gotta stick up for my Chocolate ladies =]) but foreal , I really loved that group and their CD. I remember that one dude that was the singer in Sister Act 2...wonder why they didnt stick around?? Anyways this is the throwback song of the day -"What would you do"- by City High. This video came out in 2001 for anyone that is curious.

Eminem vs Mariah

I havent really being keeping up with the feud between Mariah Carey and Eminem because frankly, I didnt really care. However, all the hype surrounding Eminem's new diss track geared toward Mariah has caught my attention. So let me get this story straight....Eminem claims he was with Mariah, she denies it?, shes with Nick now and now Eminem is pissed? LMAO all of this is really a laughing matter to me. Mariah and Nick are another matter all together that I just SMH at and think "to each his own", but now Eminem is added to the picture....the whole scenario is just crazy lmao...and now I understand why its rumored that Mariah was the one to "portray Eminem" in her Obsessed video..haha smhhh I mean Eminem is tryna go hard, he says hes got evidence...well now im intrigued...lets see it! Although, personally, I think he just needs to get over it!


"Only reason I dissed you in the first place is because you denied seeing me. Now I'm pissed off....."

Wow Mariah, I didn’t expect her to go balls out
Bitch, shut the fu*ck up before I put all them phone calls out
you made to my house when you was wild n out
before Nick, When you was on my di*ck and give you somethin to smile abouT.."



C'monnnnn no one cares! =/


Here is the actual song

For those of you who were wondering....

about Drakes Best I Ever Had video...here goes the explanation....in his own words!

Drake rejects new Best I Ever Had video
by yardie4lifever2

I guess i can see his point,but I still think he could have chosen an angle that made a lil more sense! ....and it wasnt thaaaat funny lol SMH

Dont sleep on....

Mariel Haenn!!

People think that Rihanna's style is bomb...well she doesnt do it alone! Mariel Haenn is Rihanna's stylist along with Jada and Will, Meagan Goode, the Simmons sisters, Lauren Conrad, P.Diddy, Nas, Andre 3000 and there are still many, many, more. So next time you see Rih Rih is that cute fit, or Will Smith lookin fine as hell, remember that they had a lil help!






Heres some videos shes worked on

These are the times of your life...

Im sitting here watching Never Been Kissed with Drew Barrymore, and I start to reminisce on my high school years. I certainly wasnt anywhere on Drew Barrymores level...i was a jock not a geek (4 years or Varsity soccer and Track...athlete of the season award...you get the picture) But I do remember thinking that these were supposed to be the times of my life....at least thats the idea the American media sold to me. Theres tons of teen movies with these white actors that are really like 25 but they are playing the roles of these 17 year old "stereotypical American teenagers" that engage in lies, sex, drugs, and a whole lot more. Well that wasnt me. My life basically consisted track, soccer, skool. Yes there were boys, and yes there was drama but I remember being really disappointed that I wasnt having the time of my life. I dont want to use the word hate but i really, really disliked high school, and it didn't help that there were only about 30 black people in a school that had over 2000 students. But now Im in college and even though I somewhat wish I could do high school over again, I realize its OK I didnt have the time of my life, because I can do that now. Better late then never right?
Anyways, here are some throwback pics...I was pretty much the ugly duckling in high school! SMH









...supppppper throwback...Naija poppin!
...super duper throwbak....private skoooool kid =/

The official video seen here ===>
Full Force - Ain't My Type Of Hype (Official Music Video)


I think Im just like Sharane in this movie lmao..I will admit, I did like Play aka Christopher Martin haha =]

i <3 Dwayne Wayne!!

There is no TV character that I loved more than DWAYNE WAYNE, played by Kadeem Hardison on the television show "A Different World" (my fave show by the way! =]) which aired in the late 80s and early 90s. Yes, I was like 5 years old when the show was popular but I thoroughly enjoyed watching all the seasons on Oxygen, Nick at Night and Noggin! Dwayne had it all, he was hella smart, perfect score on his math SAT's, he was a nerd and yet all the girls liked him and he got the one girl he wanted all along. He went from annoying nerd to class act realll quick. He had the womanizer best friend to get him into trouble all the time, and them cute lil flip up glasses and that NY twang...just couldnt help myself! If I was 15 years older I woulda wanted to give Whitley a run for her moooolahhhhh!




A Different World was orignally a spin off from the Cosby Show for Denise who was supposed to be in college, but her role only lasted on season. The show was better without her. I mean the Dwayne and Whitley dynamic was bananas! When I was in high school, I wished my college life would be just like A Different World....hahahaha oh well, a girl can dream!Anyways like I said, I love Dwayne Wayne. But Kadeem Hardison now...not so hott

=/

Random Thought/Style Icon Alert

When I first heard of Teyana Taylor on MTV's My Super Sweet 16, i just thought she was some rich black girl who somehow got in with the in-crowd and had hella style. But it wasnt till like Google Me Baby came out that i found out shes an artist, like a music artist. Idk if her skills are all that but she takes bad ass pictures!




and heres a video of her singing my former fave singer, Brandy's, song "I Wanna Be Down"


I mean its not bad, but i dont think its super bomb either. Still gotta give her style props tho. I will admit, if I was 16, I would probably idolize her too.

racist...offensive??

This video is apparently an ad for a some cell phone answering service....hmmmm...my question is what in the hell where the writers thinking when they wrote the script for this thing and let me guess, they air this commercial on BET...SMFH!

New Music Alert

This song came out on Fri...and i havent stopped hearing about it ever since. On first listen, i didnt really think too much of it, but it usually takes awhile for things to grow on meh. Heres the song..decide for yourselves. The song is called Run This Town by Rihanna, Jay-z,and Kanye...supposed to be a new track of Jay-Z's new album droppin Sept. 11th.

random thought

So I was definitely unaware that they play degrassi on MTV now. Guess now that Drake has finally gone mainstream, they wanna play his old ish on MTV. interessante...speaking as a die hard degrassi fan, I always loved Jimmy as the only black guy on Degrassi...never woulda guessed lil wheelchair Jimmy would turn into all star Drizzzzzyyy.


another sidenote..why does rihanna always have to dress so bad? (good)
style icon alert!

POKE HER FACE

Here goes Kid Cudi's new video that came out a couple days ago "Make Her Say" ft Kanye and Common. I will admit, I didnt really like the song at first cuz it reminded me me of the actual poker face song that I now find quite annoying. However, the song has grown on me. And it doesnt hurt that Kid Cuddi is kinda cute, in his own rugged way. =]

I <3 Vashtie Kola

I absolutely positively idolize Vashtie Kola!

(Giant mag is one of my fave mags btw, the photography is ridiculous!)
I basically wanna be her. I first discovered her when my best friend informed me that she was dating Pharrell. This was like in '05 or '06. Ever since then, ive been hooked. She has incredible style, simple yet dazzling, she luvs Nike kiks, and she luvs good music. Shes like one of those people who makes everyone else look good, the behind the scenes type girl. She used to work for Def Jam records working on the company's image. But she quit that job, they couldnt handle her! Now shes a party promoter, fashion designer, and video producer. Shes everything I wanna be and more! And shes pretty too! I guess i def have a "girl crush" on Vashtie Kola. Here website was just relaunched today! heres the link ---> www.vashtie.com
