So if you're anybody who is anybody in Chicago I'm sure you've been at a dope party and then seen pictures show up on a little website called www.everyoneisfamous.com. The website hilights the works of photographer Clayton Hauck and he's everwhere you wanna be. A lot of times, the photos end up being people facebook and myspace profile pictures; The guy has a nack for takin the pictures you WANNA take in your digital camera that dont turn out how you expect (because somebody wasn't lookin at the camera, had their eyes closed or was preping their perfect smile or icegrill). But sometimes...the professional catches the party goers off guard and this is what happens....
just chillin...watchin cars go by
and posin for the camera
oooooo i think she's losin it...
down goes fra-zia!...down goes fra-zia!
thats what friends are for...
Am i wrong for posting this...no more than she is for doing it...on camera. So the moral of the story is? Party with caution cause this could happen to you
They say character is what happens when nobody's watching...(or when you think nobodys watching because somebody is always watching). Anyway...just watch the video...it will make your day.
This was not staged. Apparently the Dog was just dancin and the b-boy decided to battle him and they battled. 3 rounds...personally i'll call it was a tie (im non confrontational like that). I mean you can argue for both...you got the dude hittin the pop lockin in the DOG SUIT. but then you got the dude hittin head spins on the concrete. So...they're both winners in my book.
Shouts to SR50 from DPK (Danger Plan Kru) that poplockin mascott...and and all the other B-Boys and B-Girls out there freeze posin and top rockin for the love of it.
So...I don't wear air force ones...never said I dont appreciate them. They're like Tim Duncan; not my style but I can't deny their greatness hahahaha...anyway. This weekend; if you like Ones...and you're plugged with a good spot so you know where to get em...i suggest you cop a pair of these:
Maybe you don't understand how important this drop is. I mean Bobbito Garcia IS hiphop. U can't really call yourself a sneakerhead, or a videogamer, or a hiphop head, or a streetballer if you dont know the name...but maybe you've been living under a rock so I'll give you a chance to get hip.
I think its just real cool that dude has his own sneakers....thats much deserved respect. I might cop a pair just cause...I actually had a chance to meet the man last yeaer...and i didn't even know what to really say but that...Daaaaaaaaamn...its Bobbito Garcia. And its rare that anything or anybody makes me speechless.
It's that time of the week again. US here @ each of our respective households but TOGETHER uniting to create the SMSiDK Crew as you know it are going to show you wat it is that WE like, so that you know what we like because well all in all you were born to know what it is that we like [EXHALE] so, here it goes [elipses]
MELISSA'S 3
1. Ummmmm... k. I've been hip to this one for about two years now but due to the LACK of warm spring weather here in the Chi I haven't been able to enjoy it UNTIL now.Dunkin' Donuts' Iced Blueberry CoffeeWHY? Simply because it's PERFECT. When you're looking for something cold && refreshing why not roll wit' this choice? You get the refreshing bite of blueberry AND the caffeine buzz that you would be looking for because, maybe it's just me but, heat can kick one's A-S-S even when we're doing absolutely NOTHING so all in all, Iced Blueberry Coffee is the way to go.
P.S. ask for CREAM AND SUGAR [they WILL send yu off]
2. My NEW uber dope gold hoops that I copped from a location that at this time I will NOT disclose to the public, I mean these new earrings are the ANSWER to all the prayers I had when searching for a pair of gold hoops that stood out amongst the myriad of bamboo heart shaped, the circles created by the touching noses of two dolphins and basic wire thin joints. These earrings are JUST wat a chick like me is looking for MOSTLY because they twinkle ;D yes as in "TWINKLE, TWINKLE BABY, TWINKLE, TWINKLE" and lucky for me I was able to cop a gold bangle to MATCH...perfectly [from a TOTALLY diff. store, damn I'm good] granted I spent almot 40$ on only TWO pieces of jewelery I am VERY satisfied with my purchase UNLESS of course they fall out of my ear like a certain ONE OF A KIND pair did when I was making a run for a CERTAIN "D.J." but that's besides the point...basically i guess my point is to encourage people to get off the bamboo earring && door knocker phase no DOUBT they are and will forever BE hot, I think chicas need to take a more "vested" interest in finding gold hoops that stand out, just like your style should ((i'll post a pic later this week JUST to prove how hot these earrings are.))
3. AND LASTLY my favorite of the three && I guess I made it last so I could say "LAST BUT NOT LEAST" but it's never been more tru until today. This item is SO dope I was lucky enuf to b found dope by TWO parties that I recieved it TWICE for my twentieth birFday... the Hellz Bellz "Gunnin' For Peace" tee is SO beyond hot that I can't begin to search my vocabulary or a thesaurus for a word to describe. I mean I myself am so OVER the "ANTI-WAR" scarf [whether it's for protest or just fashion purposes for some people] that when this shirt was shown to me I just "HAD TO HAVE IT", it reveals my deeply rooted DISGUIST with the war ['cause of the anti-war scarf yada yada] and the desire I have to stay dope. So thanks for BOTH parties that purchased this for me 'cause it really means alot, I get LOTS of compliments for this piece but that's not wat matters, what matters is thee FACT that I am shittin' on you...period. ;D
CHARITY'S 3
1. My Waffle Maker. I mean its general knowledge that I make some mean french toast; and that my pancakes are good (nowhere NEAR as good as pops' but i mean dude can cook). But there is something about waffles that is just the greatest. Actually Chicken and Waffles. Its a heavenly combination that I used to enjoy at this local spot called wing heaven. But it closed...long story. I tried chicken and pancakes, chicken and french toast...but...alas...i stell felt empty. So...I went and bought myself a waffle maker. And then i made waffles. 4 of them the first time...and it was great. I mean theres just somethin about watchin the butter and syrup fill all the lil crevices...add some chicken eggs and...Trust me...you can die happy. So yea...thanks to my waffle maker...I'm in breakfast heaven....(lunch dinner and midnight snack heaven too for that matter).
2. Now...to the naked eye I would be classified as a hip-hop snob/ a "backpacker" if you will. One of those people who like their music to be introspective and say something. I mean...I'm all about that but don't get me wrong...I ENJOY A GOOD PARTY SONG. Not too overly sexual but somethin you can definatley bounce to in the club. My new favorite song in that genre (party genre) is...rock your hips. Why?... Princess' wonderfull verse...check it
I've got 32 flavors of this bootylicious bubble gumraspberry/ grape, cherry/come and get this honey bun/yummy hum/ baby/ not your ordinary lady/known to drive a nigga crazy/willy wonka wann pay me...
How great is that...i mean how cocky and "womanly empowering" is that. I'm not gonna interpret it cause; if you dont get its greatness [especially when you're actuall rocking your hips to that song's beat]...then you just dont understand. But meet me on the dance floor and i will definately show you.
3. Nike Chocolate Easter Bunny Dunks.Now as a sneakerhead I really dont need an excuse to shout out my sneakers. But Here's why I will. I LECTURED IN MINE. Yes, i gave my firstofficial lecture in my dunks. So they were a part of me changing the academic game a bit. Generally people expect professors to wear "dress clothes" but i didn't; and my evaluation said that I commanded respect...BECAUSE OF MY KNOWLEDGE OF THE MATERIAL. I was on top of my shit, and I gave a thorough lecture (on systemic racism). Maybe I'm thinking too much about this but hopefully im helping to break down the wack ass widely held view in academia that you have to look a certain way to have credibility. Imagine me...teaching the youth in polo shirts, premium and sneakers, and a lil bit of shine (in the ears around the neck and on the wrist). But whats more important...imagine me teaching the youth. Thats waht makes me smile. I feel like a role model...I'm tryin to show young people like myself that you can make it on the straight and narrow.I'm not in the academic watch tower looking down and striking people with all of my books and belittling people with my knowledge...I'm just a city kid who plays her hiphop, wears her sneakers, likes donald goines novels, has a ballplayer swag (and a jumpshot and handles to match), talks shit, watches chapelle show (i got the dvds), leans and rocks with it, loves guys with 360 waves, spits a mean verse. and tries to promote unity... I TOLD YOU WE WERE TRYIN TO CHANGE THE WORLD.
And from both of us we present...Anderson Cooper
Here's Why: Charity says: Dude...do you see him? He's fine. Now i prefer the brothas but...I recognize a fine man no matter what race he is. I mean maybe its because grey and blue are my favorite colors...and he has gray hair and blue eyes that do it for me...but yea I'm tryin to schedule an "interview" as we speak.
Melissa says: "He's pretty...and smart...I'd hit it, and check the swoop in his hair GEEZ"
No but really let us give you some background information. Andersonn is an Emmy Award winning journalist who recently was the 60 minutes anchor who covered the "stop snitching" campaign. He also has done awesome investigative journalism work in Iraq, Sri Lanka (after the Tsunami), in new Orleans and Mississippy (after Hurricaines Katrina and Rita), covering the controversy surrounding Princess Dianna. He's known for his compassion and empathy with human suffering and his unapologetic questining of the way our government and society handles situations. He also hosts his own news show on CNN called Anderson Cooper 360 that comes on at 9pm (CST). Tune in and get familiar...
O my GOODNESS, I don't know about YOU guys but I'm a DIE HARD Maroon 5 fan, I'm not gonna lie and say I knew about them b4 they became the group we know them as NOW but it doesn't flippin' matter, the vocals, the composition && even STAGE prescence [Sunday August 1, 2004 opening for john mayer...i was there] are WORTH the weight...and WAIT FOR THAT MATTER, since the release of Songs About Jane in June 2002 the group has been going strong off every single track off that album and I guess they figured it was time that they bless us with their presence again in 2007...May 22nd to be exact ;D "It Won't Be Soon Before Long" is probably one of the most anticipated albums of the YEAR, their first single "Makes Me Wonder" is the DOPEST why? Because when's the last time YOU heard a "breakdown" in a song huh? I don't even think our generation KNOWS what a breakdown is anymore, but yeah, all in all KNOW that this will b bumpin' in "Humphrey" [my Escort] for the summer even if I HAVE to wait around for Kiss 103 or B96 to bump it...I'll be back with more details on whose on the album and tour dates as well
ENJOY.!
in OTHER news...remember you saw it here FIRST unless you randomly browse youtube for music videos like myself, this vid was released in Europe in O say in February 2007 and has yet to hop across the pond to the good ol' U.S. of A so here yu go FOLKS, care of thee SMSiDK CREW...Lil' Star by Kelis::
Prayers and Peace go out to the families and loved ones of all those affected by the tragedy at Virginia Tech University...
Looking on the facebook I couldn't help but noticed the solidarity shown through notes, profile pictures and statuses. I wont use this as a time to make social comentary on the social conditions that would drive a student to take aim at his fellow students...right now its a time to lend our support to those in need...
This is our weekly wrap up called "for what it's wroth." The idea is for us to highlight 3 of the most awesome things from our individual weeks and then one we agree that is pretty mentionworthy... so...without further ado...
Charity's 3 1. Big Pony Polos:I didn't think they were really any different than regular polos but i put one on to give my lecture...Man, I was singing to that joint "yooooooou make me feeeeeeel...like a natural woman." Maybe it was the custom fit, or maybe it was the intricacies in the stitching of the polo...they actually sew socks on the horse.
2. Video Camera Phones: More specifically my PPC 6700. It allowed me to shoot the most awesome video of me riding my bicycle in the academic building...and i bet yall thought it was on my camcorder. NOPE... PPC 6700...windows mobile nikka...step ya game up.
3. Don Imus: Since im an intellect and in doin my PhD sociology of race sports and gender; people have been askin me what i think. And here's my 2-cents.
"Our freedom of speech is not an unlimited freedom that is free from responsibility. Just because we CAN say whatever we want; doesn't leave us free of any repercussions and consequences that result. Don Imus stuck his foot in his mouth; whether he was jokin or serious it was in bad taste for somebody in a position of power in the media. I could go on and on about the significance of his comments and blah blah blah but i wont..."
Melissa's 3
4.Saracco Wine [Moscato d'Asti]:: SO WHAT IF IT'S ONLY FIDEEN DOLLAS?!?! It gets you gone all the while it's wine that ACTUALLY tastes good and it's great to do things like: drink, pour or even TOAST to a 20th birthday, like ya girl Melly Mel's, you can't go wrong with this wine...trust me, it has a little fizz to it as if it's champagne but it's a great combination, the get the bubbles andthe buzz, what more can you ask for?
5.Okay, okay so in order to let you guys in on this one, I'm gonna have to expose a little bit about myself, I, Melissa of the SMSIDK CREW, am not "hip" to all that old school hippity-hoppity, SO SUE ME, BUT rather than POSE like MOST, I'm actually on a conquest to obtain a copy of ALL of the hip-hop classics THUS I went out this week and purchase NONE other than Li'l Kim's first LP "Hardcore" and I must admit the joint is straight crack, every woman should own it and I'm WILLING to say that every man might need to own it too, all in all...go cop that, if you're like me and hadn't owned it already :-D
6.Vaseline Intensive Rescue Healing Hand Cream...PERIOD. I really don't NEED to say anything else but the fact that you can find it at Walgreen's for UNDER yes ladies && gent's $6, now, ANYBODY who's ever shopped around for hand creams, like myself, KNOWS that quality hand creams, not just the lotion that comes in small, purse sized bottles, but actual HAND CREAM is priced RIDICULOUSLY for only 3 or 4 fluid ounces so really, go check it out in the Walgreen's nearest you, your hands will thank you.
And from the both of us...we present: eddo fuckin' starr
Here's Why:
Melissa says: I like keepin' things humans myself. Sorry Jay...Sorry Fif"
Charity says: "Cause after all, you can't have a conversation with your Lambo...(lambo lambo on the wall...you can't do that shit!)"
