Hear Hear: CROOOOOKERRRS and Kid Cudi



I just want the world to know: Classy hoes dance in techno videos; trashy hoes dance in rap videos.

And naturally Crookers BEASTED THIS SONG.
Although, it should be known that the original artist of this song (Cudi) does not support this video and would rather people listen to his original version of the song and not the remixed version. But the Crookers Mix is dope so he can STFD for five seconds and deal with it.

Okay boys, have fun dreaming this would actually happen to you in real life.

----

Okay. I'm a huge Crookers-tute. I totally accept it and embrace it.

IT'S SO DOPPEEEE THOUGH HOW CAN YOU NOT BE A CROOKERS-tute?!

Channel Your Inner Hipster

Get these Shutter Shade necklaces, $40 and 3 or 4 different colorways.

Or get these throwback lensless-frame glasses necklace, also f0r $40 and in 3 or 4 different colorways.

Or you can always go to the craft store and by that "Shinky Dink" activity kit and make your own sunglasses pendants and attach them to chains. $15-ish for like a million pendants?

The Grudge 3: Direct to DVD

Photobucket
WHAT WHAT?!?!

Well you didn't hear this from me but...The Grudge 3, set to be released March 24, 2009, has already leaked onto the internet. It's January 31....like 2 months before release date. Que sad.

The first one made me shit my pants. The second one scared me for like 5 seconds and was hilarious the rest of the time. The third one....I don't have high expectations (I mean look at that DVD cover art...and it IS direct to DVD...like really? And I'm pretty sure the bitch on the cover isn't even Asian, let alone Japanese. IDGI!)

At any rate, at least it's rated R. And they definitely show the creepy ass jerky movement people more often. I won't be losing sleep over this movie though...

WOTS on facebook!

We just put up a fan page on Facebook. Come fan us up! Spread the word. Spread the love.

Oh no! someone ate spaghetti in the shower again

Snack PWNAGE!


I don't disagree with ANY of the food choices made for the snack stadium above. Who ever has this at their super bowl party tomorrow is a going to be a very lucky person.

The Beatboxing Instrumentalist

Okay, check this French guy (his name is Jean Jean) who mixes instruments with beatboxing to make some BOSS beats. He's pretty awesome, those damn French.


Beatboxing with what I think is a mouth harp


Beatboxing with a flute

And this is another guy, known as Roxorloops, who just makes some crazy ass noises. I didn't even know it was possible for a person to make some of these sounds!

-----

On the subject of beatboxing, Jamie Lidell. His main fame comes from his souful R&B songs, but his live shows are the most amazing part about Jamie Lidell. I saw him at Voodoo Fest 2 years ago and I absolutely adored him. (Red Hot Chili Peppers were fun, but they really had nothing on Jamie Lidell).


Jamie Lidell performing at Voodoo 2006

He does the type of boxing where he'll record himself making noises then loop them together to get crazy beats. I'm sure he's not the only one who does it but the fact that he's a soul singer and does this kind of stuff WITH his regular songs makes it so much better and I really can appreciate the mixture of Hip Hop and SOULLLL.

Her Morning Elegance



This video is so creative and well executed. The song is also very mellow and elegant. Props to Oren Lavie. I'm loving it.

Feeling Bored?

Photobucket

Lazing around home with nothing to do? Gather some friends and make a trip to Walmart (or Target if there are no Walmarts). Print this up and have the ultimate people watching competition.

I think it would also be funny to use these tasks as a photo scavenger hunt. Assign each task a point value; set a time limit; and see who can get photos with the most items within the given time! Fun fun under the sun.

Hear Hear: Janelle Monáe


Grammy nominated song!

This song is kind of old, but I just heard it and loved it! Her new album "Metropolis" is supposedly coming out this month....but I haven't seen it....at any rate I'm pumped to hear it all.

God, I hate science fairs, but if I was able to do topics like these, I would've had a blasstttt!!




Please take note of the bottom left-hand corner of the image above. It says "Hypothesis: Cats hate electricity" Loooveee it. Now go check out the rest of these amazinggg super mega totz out-of-sight blowing my mind awesomeness.

Alexander McQueen Does Targét

Photobucket

Alexander McQueen is collaborating with Target to make some designer clothes at Target prices. (Or atleast, semi-Target prices. Pieces range from $30-$130!)
Let it be known that this collab is something entirely different than the "Go International" collections...instead it's a part of the "Designer Collaborations" collection. It is also different than McQueen's own McQ line which features clothes ranging in price from $200-$800.

"The collection has a muted color palette of black, white, gray and tan with accents of cobalt blue and bright pink. Studs and mesh give items an edge. There are studded jeans, shorts and denim jackets with asymmetrical closures, short tuxedo jackets and matching shorts, dresses in a blue and white painterly fabric, a one-shoulder dress in a gray-and-black zigzag pattern with a thick black belt, and a T-shirt with the image of Moss.”

I think these are some of the pieces in the line. (I wish they were more McQueen-ish and wild) Oh well, based on the description I think it has the potential to be really tacky, but we'll see what happens. Hopefully there isn't any Ed Hardy tattoo looking shit......Ed Hardy should DIAF.

Coming March 2009!

Shittt. I want THE RUNWAY STUFF. BRING THAT TO TARGET!!

Texting yourself to trouble



Texting boys/girls leads you into traps. Giving dudes/homegirls at bars your number never is any good. Texting relations is dumb. Let's travel back to a time where people actually physically interracted with each other, because there are too many boys labeled "don't pick up" and "don't txt me" in my phone.

RIP SMARTERCHILD

WHAT NONSENSE IS THIS?!

I was awakened rudely today when I asked SmarterChild to define a word for me...and he told me "HIS BRAIN DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE"?!

HE'S SOLD OUT! If you notice his status update...ABOUT MILEY CYRUS....I'm so offended. Now I actually have to go to Webster.com when I want to know what a word means. =(

TIME TRAVEL: Back to 410 BC

Photobucket
And the world is crawling with SABER TOOTH TIGERS.

saber tooth tiger

Seriously though, 410 BC is a "community of creative people" that come up with some schweet, if I don't say so myself, designs for shirts, jewelery, hats, skateboards, etc etc. It's really a great group to support with your business!!

From the company:
"410 BC is an independent, design-driven brand offering high quality, sweatshop free clothing and goods released in limited quantities. Based out of New York, 410 BC is both a clothing company and an artist collective. Collaborating with a variety of artists, 410 BC stands as a collective of likeminded individuals who strive to create unique designs, while producing goods through ethical means."

Ethical AND creative = Win!

"410 BC not only promotes ethical consumerism by using sweatshop free materials and printing methods, but a percentage of selected shirts donate proceeds to non-profit organizations. 410 BC is the date that Democracy was restored in Athens. The Athenians were at war and their victory in 410 BC enabled them to restore their traditional institutions. They had a choice and they chose the route less taken, maybe the choice was a little bumpier, but overall, the end result was a lot better than any alternative. At its core, this is what 410 BC as a company truly represents, a choice. While creating sweatshop free quality clothing, 410 BC strives to design clothing with integrity.
"

So Admirable! Check out some of their designs:

Super cute mascot/logo tee. Sold for dudes and chicas. $25

Photobucket
The skele-vogue tee. Guys and girls. $20

Photobucket
SABER TOOTH TIGER TEE! On a good looking model! Sold for guys and girls. $25

I love them all! There are more designs at the site. Head over and buy some sweatshop-free gear while it lasts!!!

Caf FIEND

In my senior year of high school I literally would have 3 cans of diet coke a day. Looking back, I probably should have died from caffeine overload. Luckily, with today's technology, we get nifty little things like this website which estimates how much of your choice caffeinated beverage you'd have to intake to D-I-E. I put in my info and it came up with this:

You could drink 206.27 cans of Diet Coke before croaking.

Looks like I was a lucky girl. 203.27 cans more and I would have been a gonner!

Up for grabs

I get these emails from Voodoo every year offering me free 1-year subscriptions to Spin magazine. They sent me one today including two codes to redeem that offer. I used up one for myself and now am left with this other one. It can only be used one time sooo first come, first serve!

Can someone invent a breathalyzer this size plz?


The Kiss-o-meter is supposed to detect whether or not you have "kissable" breath. $30 for a portable device that lets me know if i have bad breath? No thank you. That's what gum is for.

Hear Hear: New Animal Collective!

Go out and get the new Animal Collective album: Merriweather Post Pavilion. It's sooo good. It's my new Circus. Also, album cover, trippy much?

p.s. NPR is letting you preview the whole album for free. check it.

Would you buy ice cream from Amy Winehouse? Just wondering....

If you a fly gal get your nails done


My aunt sent me an email talking about free makeup! Apparently some law blah blah that's been going on since the 90's has resulted is us consumers being able to receive free makeup from certain department stores starting TODAY. It's one item per person, but hey, one FREE item! Here's a list of all the stores you can go to and the specific products you can choose from. While supplies last! Go get em now!

Happy Inauguration Day!


Dunkin donuts is celebrating our new 44th president by dishing out these donuts for only 44 cents, with the purchase of a hot coffee/hot chocolate. Can't afford 44 cents? Hop on over to Krispy Kreme for a FREE donut of your choice. Select locations only. Unforetunately for me, there is neither a Dunkin Donuts, or Krispy Kreme where I live. No bueno.
