An entire event dedicated to the love of street food? The organizers of the LA Street Food Fest are people after my own heart. Food trucks of every echelon will gather in one location for festival attendees to dine on yummy mobile delicacies - kimchi tacos, pancakes, grilled cheese, and more!
Local artists and designers will be selling wares, along with the requisite beer, wine, and live music. The weather is supposed to be a sunny 74 degrees on Saturday, a perfect way to enjoy a pre-Valentine’s day afternoon.

It was given to me by one of my college pseudo-boyfriends, and has carried me from my college dorm, back home, to my own apartment. It’s given me nearly a decade of use, until it shut off by itself and never came back on. The television set that held me down for nearly a decade is with the Lord now. *Bowing my head in prayer*
Alas, I’ve been blessed with a new high definition flat screen TV that’s much sexier, takes up less space, and doesn’t need a VCR to accommodate cable hookup. My poor old TV is sitting in the corner, collecting dust and taking up space. I can’t just toss it in the garbage, television sets aren’t biodegradable. No point in giving it to Goodwill, coz the ish doesn’t work.
My friend Google put me on to an electronics recycling event not far from my house. I can take my old TV, used batteries, cell phones, and computers to the event and have them properly disposed.
I’m keeping the VCR for nostalgic reasons…and it still works. You never know when a VHS tape may come your way.
This week’s throwback video is brought to you by Notorious BIG, Lil Kim, and the year 1995. Lil Kim was so cute, I hate that she’s becoming a black Jocelyn Wildenstein. And the cameos! Mary J. Blige..Xscape..Salt N’ Pepa..Vanessa Del Rio..damn!
This my hip hop golden age! 15 years later, the mantra remains true…GET MONEY!!!
In classical mythology, a muse was regarded as a female goddess who presided over the arts and sciences – music, poetry, dance, astronomy, etc. Muses were the inspiration of poets and thinkers. It may be reaching to put Amber Rose on the level of a goddess (I’m sure most men would beg to differ), but she is the inspiration behind DC producer Judah’s mixtape “The Amber Rose Instrumentals.”
The capital mind of DC’s forward-thinking producer joins with the UK’s Dub MD to deliver intense tracks of indulgence, “The Amber Rose Instrumentals” The no-Hennessy necessary compilation was inspired by the sultry yet fashion-focused Amber Rose, who is known for her relationship with hip-hop star Kanye West and a body that has the ability to hypnotize minds like the loop of an 808.
The wonderful Maryann at Alphanista.com published my guest post “Don’t’ Let Your Girlfriends Fuel the Fire“…head on over there to check me out! Alphanista is an awesome blog giving the Alpha female perspective on love, life, business, and more. Get over there and join the conversation!
Haiti is in major need of assistance after being hit by a massive 7.0 quake early this week. Many of us are wondering what we can do to help, feeling like we can’t sit here in our relatively comfortable lives and not do anything about it.
There are things we can do, without leaving our homes or offices. Text YELE to 501501 to donate $5. The donation will be deducted from your cell phone bill. Even the smallest donation will help. Go to http://www.yele.org/ for more information.
What a week! First the devastation in Haiti, then the loss of soul legend Teddy Pendergrass. Sheesh!
I was probably conceived to Teddy Pendergrass. He made some serious baby making music! Even when I was a kid, Teddy P was one of my favorites. Something in his music and his voice really spoke to me. Some of my favorite Teddy P. songs:
Pepa of the legendary female hip hop trio Salt N Pepa debuts her reality show tonight on Vh1. Salt won’t be accompanying her this go ’round, the show will feature Pep and her friends looking for love in the Big Apple. I’ll be watching, Pep reminds me of my middle aged aunt who still dresses like a 25 year old. Not that its impossible to be fly in your 40s, but you know what I mean. Between this and Fantasia’s reality show, I have something to watch on Monday nights.
