Nick Thune: Two Birds/ Instant Messenger

Here' two clips of comedian Nick Thune on Comedy Central doing a very hilarious stand up act.

If you don't laugh, you lack sense of humor.

p.s. Isn't he kind of cute??



"When in history was there an abundance of birds and a shortage of rocks?" lmao!!!

NO, POPRAH, NO!!!!!!!!

"I can't invent a list, sir," was the famous response that Kim a.k.a "PoPrah" from "I Want to Work for Diddy" gave to Diddy when he asked her for the list of names on the guest list.

What was she thinking!?!?!?!? Who would honestly say that to their boss no matter how ridiculous their requests may be to you.

For someone who wanted to be Diddy's assistant oh so badly, she sure did mess that up big time!

I was rooting for you 'poprah!' why!?!?

On another note, lets backtrack to the episode when Kim said that she gained all of that weight so that people would take her seriously.

For all of you who wondered what she looked like before the cakes and pies... tah-da!

Kim was a former talk show host who went by the name "Tempest." She was very pretty (and still is) but, she was tacky as hell! That pink outfit was and will never be a good look.

Little Brother + Some Other Good Music

When I'm at work, my ipod is on play at all times. You could only imagine how much music I listen to during those 8 hours.

As of late, I've been listening to a lot of music by the now rap duo Little Brother. The group, formerly a trio that featured hip-hop producer, 9th Wonder, hail from Durham, North Carolina. The music is nothing close to country. One of their most famous songs was entitled "lovin' it." Its definitely a classic on my list.

I really really love their music and I'm still wondering why the majority of people I speak to don't know who they are. Their album, "The Minstrel Show," is one of my favorite albums, hands down! " The album received 4.5 mics from The Source Magazine --- use that as incentive to check it out! "Get Back" is dope too!

If you don't know who they are, I really encourage you to have a listen.


Keeping this post in the spirit of good music, here are some other albums I think you should check out:


"I Am" by Chrisette Michelle (if you like that sultry old school vibe type of music)



"The Year of the Gentleman" by Ne-yo



"Lessons In Love" by Lloyd (its definitely a good look for him)

Gala Affair @ Glen Cove Mansion: Photography by Me

Last Friday, my mom had a gala affair to kick of her "49 & Under" club. It took place at the Glen Cove Mansion -- in Glen Cove (go figure).

I was in charge of the photography for the night. Just thought I'd share some of the photos with you all.

Note: Everyone there was not "49 & Under."

Project Runway @ Bryant Park + MTV Awards 2008 + Kanye's Smash Fest

As usual, I'm late concerning almost everything. Who cares though? My opinion is probably the only one that counts--right?

Let me begin by saying that I attended 0% of the fashion week events that were held in NYC. Absolutely none. Do I feel any kind of way about missing out? Nah. The only event I'd probably like to have gone to was the "Project Runway Finale" show.

Here's a clip of some of the season 4 contestants designs that had a chance to hit the runway at Bryant Park this year.

I do not who won or who were in the final three but Korto rocks! She's one phenomenal designer-- and a sista! [holla!]



Next up, the MTV Awards. I was never a real fan of the Awards at all but I will say that I'm glad Britney is back on her feet and lost that pouch of a stomach she was displaying in the previous year.

As for our host for the evening... who is he and why was he hosting the show?

Rihanna-- *yaaawwwnnn* She's fabulous and all but her stage vocals could use a TON of work. I would never pay to hear that in concert.

And the "Hottie of the Night" award goes to, Chance Crawford! Good googly moogly he's hot! Do you see his eyes???

I can't remember anything else that happened that night.

Okay, moving right along to this Kanye West fiasco. If you haven't heard by now, Kanye and [nameless homeboy] got a little upset with the paparazzi and decided to snatch and smash the camera guy's camera & flash. After watching the footage I couldn't help but to laugh. I personally thought it was funny but I'm sure the camera man didn't. Being a photography lover and knowing how expensive that equipment costs, I would have had to smash his face after that.

Word is that Kanye was arrested. I know nothing that happened after that. Do the research on your own.

I've been published in Nick Jr. Magazine!

As I was surfing the web, I decided to google myself. I came across a feature with my name on it from the September issue of Nick Jr. Magazine. My very first byline with a national publication. How dope is that!?!

I interned with Nick Jr. Magazine during the Spring semester of 2008 which was also my last semester as an undergraduate at St. John's University. The internship was really cool as well as insightful. The people there were so helpful and genuinely kind people. I never heard them talk about each other negatively, the way they do at my new job. They were on time with everything and were really creative thinkers. Because of that experience, I now know the kind of work environment I need to work in if I want to get things done.

Getting back to my publication, it isn't full of words---It's a magazine for children! Most who can't read very well as of yet. It's actually two children's activities I came up with for the magazine.

I think I could show you better than I could tell you. Flip through this link and check them out!
Pages, 21 & 27 on the site and pages 20 & 26 in the actual magazine.

One of my activities was named in an article on the September issue.

The main magazine has some friendship themed activities, but a good amount of the activities are just general play themed. A few of the activities are Best Buddies matching game, First Day Friends of Mine song, Give ‘Em a Hand hidden picture, and Kai-Lan’s Dino Games board game.

Since, I'm on the subject of Nick Jr. Magazine, I'd be wrong if I didn't tell you what an excellent magazine this is for young children as well as parents! I'm not just saying that because I did lots of free work for them.

There is a parenting insert featured in each issue where you can find cool recipes, tips on parenting (in partner with parentsconnect.com), and an assortment of ways to have lots of fun with your children. My niece loves for me to sit with her and do the activities inside of the magazine. Its also a great way to get the kids out of your hair for a little while. There's some really cool stuff in these pages! If you're a school teacher, order a bunch for your classroom!

I think that will be all!

Fashion Week in NYC!

It's that time again! I'm sure all of the fashion heads, fashion-fakes, and go hards are totally stoked!

Mercedes Benz fashion week will be held from September 5, 2008- September 12, 2008.

During this time, a host of fashion shows and events take place that most of us regular folk aren't invited to and can't get into without paying a hefty fee. The cheap tickets are standing only for the most part. Wouldn't catch me standing up watching a fashion show.


Some of this years designers and brands include, Rock & Republic, Alexandre Herchcovitch, Duckie Brown [Not the local guy], Lela Rose, Diane Von Fursetnburg, Miss Sixty, Luca Luca, Ralph Lauren, Sean Jean, Tracy Reese, Cynthia Steffe [gorgeous stuff!], Betsy Johnson and sooooo many more!


In the unlikely event that I do get a chance to catch a show or two this year, I'll be sure to let you guys know about it--all six of my readers.

Awww, you weren't invited either!? Don't feel bad. We can't afford anything coming down the runway anyway! Catch me at the sale rack in Lord & Taylor!


Do check out 30daysoffashion.com for a list of some cool fashion events for the month of September 2008!!!

Ciara Nude on VIBE Magazine Cover

Apparently her "goodies" are all over the latest cover of VIBE Magazine. There's actually a shot of her "backs" somewhere in the pages. You're going to have to check that out on your own time.

I've got to admit, she looks good. Very much grown up. She's come a very long way from her tom boyish days.

I really like Ciara as an artist and a performer but I'm just really trying to figure out when she became such a sex symbol. Must have been some time after that Bow Wow fiasco. [I still can't believe this giant broad was dating that little boy.]

She is currently working on her new album that will be released later on this year entitled "Fantasy Ride." Judging by its title, I assume its going to be a really sensual and sexual album. She's really been on that freaky tip as of late.

I had a chance to listen to a few of the leaked tracks and I absolutely love "Supernatural." I'm reallly looking forward to this one.

Teenaged Pregnancy: What's race got to do with it?

... A whole damn lot when it comes to the media.

I really hate to keep going back to this whole race thing but life experiences are very much different depending on your race. As we all know, Senator McCain's new running mate, Sarah Palin, has a 17-year-old pregnant and unwed daughter, Bristol.

Bristol isn't the first [or last] teen to be pregnant and unmarried. However, her pregnancy isn't what's upsetting me. What ticks me off is the fact that no one really says too much about it or has tried to really throw it in Palin's face the way they beat Obama over the head with his loud-mouthed, America-bashing [former] pastor, Rev.

I strongly believe that had Bristol been a "sista," we wouldn't have heard the end of it. Had that been one of Obama's daughters, the American people would have flipped this presidency race upside down and he wouldn't even stand a chance.

While America condemns those women of color who have found themselves in the same predicament, they have practically rallied behind Bristol and her family. A complete hypocrisy.

Just take a look at how CNN broadcasted the faults of unwed and pregnant Black women in America in the "Black In America" TV special. However, according to news reports, Bristol plans to marry to father of the baby which is apparently the opposite of what Black women are doing. According to "Black In America, " Black women rarely ever get married and the fathers of the children don't generally stick around.

I think I'm going to stop there.

Honestly, I don't see what Bristol's pregnancy or Obama's former pastor has to do with the people involved in the presidential race anyway. So what if the girl got knocked up. Her pregnancy isn't even interesting! Why is it all over the news? And so what if Obama's former pastor took his 15-minutes of fame to new and drastic heights of ultimate embarrassment. Neither are running for a seat in the White House.

Lets stop worrying so much about everything else except the people who will potentially run our country.
