Our Bottoms are Red lets follow suit, GO RED

Today marks the 20th World Aids Day. Despite the sensitivity of the subject, AIDS is an issue plaguing our communities. This is not an issue beyond our control there is something we can do to prevent the spread of the disease by one simple step, GET TESTED. It is quick, fast, and easy. If you are not on any form of insurance visit your local clinic or today there are a number of agencies offering the test free of charge. It is nothing to be embarrassed about or fear doing!! Consider the statistics:

• 33 million people in the world have HIV. 22 million live in Africa
• more than 1 million people are infected by the virus and 1 in 5 of them don't know it
• on December 31, 2007; Maryland had a total of 28,270 people living with HIV and AIDS (Cases reported by name through December 31, 2008).
• there are an estimated 2,100 new HIV infections per year in Maryland.

Luckily for them the show airs right before the Christmas holiday, a time when men who know nothing buy the woman, or women in his life lingerie. Great marketing Limited Brands!!

Do not miss out on the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show which airs tonight, December 1 @ 10pm on CBS.

Lyrically Inclined

Considering Monday is Music Monday I decided to share a song I am currently in LOVE with. Most of you probably have heard it already, but for those of you who havent here it goes:

Hold On (remix extended version) - Dwele feat. Kanye West & Consequence

Purple Fever

I usually dont do this but "its a celebration biatches" : p Come out and party with me and my favorite asian for her bday November 27th @ Cibos. Hit me on the email if you need more info...

"You like what you see? You wanna video me?"

I am not sure who the stylist was for this one (im checking now, but will have to get back to you later) but I think they did a good job, they made Lady Gaga appear much more normal than she usually does and also transformed our lovely B into the "I don't give a fuck" Sash Fierce we have all grown to love... : p (Thanks Hype Williams)

Also Im not sure if anyone else feels the same way I do, but doesn't the intro to the video seem Rihanna-ish? Im just saying. Other than that I will talk to you guys and gals later I have some booty poppin moves to practice lol

Now check out the video below...

En Vogue

Call me crazy but Jay Z is such the promoter of all things fashion. With that being said I wanted to point out what I think is an ode to fashion by means of Instyle Magazine and Fashion Editor in Chief of Vogue Magazine, Anna Wintour:

"caught up in the in crowd,
now your in-style,
and in the winter gets cold en vogue with your skin out,
the city of sin is a pity on a whim..." (Empire State of Mind Jay Z feat. Alicia Keys; BP#3)

Of course the lyrics are written out "and in the winter..." but I sort of associate that sly rhyme with Editor in Chief, Anna Wintour (duhhhh)

In the Know

In case you didnt know......

the designers @ Jimmy Choo are offering the customers at H&M to experience a designer brand at a more affordable cost. The shoes and collection of accessories will be offered beginning November 14th. Pricing will range from $99-129 and the most pricey shoe will be $299.

"Louis bags, Balenciagas the ones talked about by the Fashion Bloggers"

Fabolous ft. Jay Z "When the Money Goes"






"The best way to see a person is not look at them" Jay Z, "When the money goes"

This video would not have gained entry into this blog had it not been for the credit it offered to the fashion industry and the intriguing collections of the upcoming Fall 2009 season. As I browsed through my September issue of Elle Mag, I ran across a few wishlist items. Pictured left is an image from the Fall 2009 RTW colelction from Balenciaga. To die for are the suede sash booties the model is wearing. Priced at $2,175, these shoes can turn heads however, if you want the commitment to fashion at a bargain, I advise you to check out two options. (www.shopbop.com and www.nordstrom.com) Both sites have similiar booties at half the price in similar styles, with varied textures and details (grommets, studs, leather, ribbons, suede, fringe, and hardware)

now, back to the music...

Of all the track listings on the album I am really in tune with I Miss My Love, Pachanga, Throw It In the Bag, and Lullaby. What are yours? : )
