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.

I wish I still subscribed to premium cable! Or even better, had a reliable bootleg cable hookup. Anyway, if you have access to premium cable, “How to Make it in America” premieres Sun Feb 14 @ 10pm on HBO. Kid Cudi stars in this Entourage inspired show, although he doesn’t have any lines in the trailer. There’s a full episode floating around on Youtube, maybe we can catch it weekly online.
At least from the trailer, it looks like its gonna be a good show. If you have HBO, invite me over so we can watch it. We can make it a party, I’ll bring wings and beer.
I had a pair of saddle shoes when I was 8 years old. When I rocked my saddle shoes, I was the freshest nerd on the playground. When they got too small for my growing feet, I was so sad. Vans’ saddle shoes are reminiscent of nerdy girls on the playground, who are now nerdy grown women who view the world as their playground. These shoes are super cute!
What do you think of Vans take on the saddle shoe?
I’m very excited that music festival season is returning. There’s nothing like watching dope artists perform under the hot California sun.
Guerilla Union’s Paid Dues festival goes down on Saturday, April 3rd in San Bernadino, CA. The lineup includes MURS, Ice Cube, Raekwon, Jay Electronica, Dogg Pound, and will be hosted by my good friend DJ Val the Vandle. Go ‘head Val!
I’m excited to see Ice Cube and Dogg Pound. Those are two of my favorite hip hop acts of all time. If Snoop were going to be there, I will have died and gone to hip hop heaven.

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!!!
I just remembered that its Restaurant Week, or I would have shared this much earlier! LA Restaurant week is going until tomorrow, Feb 5, 2010, giving us the opportunity to dine at the hottest restaurants at the city on a prix fixe deal.
Enjoy a three course lunch or dinner at spots like Dakota, Boa Steakhouse, The Palm, and more! The most you will spend is $16-$44 per person, you can’t beat that with a stick.
Parlez Vous OPI? Hell yes! I love, love, LOVE this color on my nails! This smoky purple hue is neutral, yet colorful at the same time. Yes, it’s possible to be both! I think this color is flattering on all skin tones, and doesn’t chip or peel. I’m going on Day 4, and my mani still looks fresh. I stan for OPI, all day.
OPI’s French and Russian Collections have the richest hues, hands down. I find myself always choosing from them when I wear darker nail colors. What about you? I know ya’ll are some beauty product junkies out there! What are some of your favorite OPI collectios/colors? Share your comments!
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.
