Since I'm on the topic of weddings...In A Perfect World...I would get married tomorrow if I meet someone with this much passion, charisma, humanity, talent, spitituality and oh yes, I can't forget the sexyness...damn, talking about bringing sexy back. What happened to us people? Look at this band...everyone is an example of black manhood...and what do our children have to look up to today? Don't even get me started...We have to do better people...It's our turn...Do Better!

Musical selection of the day...enough said.
This is a section I'll call, "In A Perfect World". Where money, time, location and status are not an issue...I'll post my perfect idea of where I would live, how I would dress, what type of car I would drive, etc...in a perfect world...Hopefully the universe will hear me...
First entry...In a perfect world, I would wear this "Etro" outfit when hanging out with my best girlfriend in Soho...It would be a Saturday or Sunday, early evening, window shopping ending with drinks and dinner in some interesting spot...Ah...

Today's musical selection...Enjoy.
Every now and then I'll give you my dvd picks...Today in the NYC its snowy, and dark so I would like to recommend a very dark, New York movie, The Brave One, starring Jodie Foster and my boyfriend, Terrance Howard. If you like movies where NYC is the backdrop you will love this one. Jodie plays a women who's boyfriend is murdered in Central Park and she turns into a vigilante...taking on a#*holes allover NYC. YEAH! The sexy Terrance Howard plays the sensative, (smile) cop who's on her tale...There is even a surpirse appearance by Zoe Kravitz...yep, Lisa Bonet and Lenny Krazitz little girl...If you get a chance check it out...It's like Law & Order on steriods.
This cover is so easy to make. If you have 18 scarfs, equal in size...just lay them out in a pattern that appeals to you and stitch the sides together by hand. If you can use a sewing machine, even better...Lots of beauty with little effort. If you don't have enough scarfs at home, just take a visit to any thrift store and you can probably pick them up for a buck...Or, how about the dollar store? They sell really cheap, but beautifully patterned scarfs for a buck...be inspired.
Don't buy another phone until you see this...your phone can change into any type of pda, mp3, camera...etc. Check it out at www.modumobile.com
Compliments of W.E. Felton
AMAZING! It takes this artist 4 hours to complete one hand...then he photographs it for prosterity before washing it off to begin another animal...Wow. When we artist become compulsive and inspired really beauty can happen....
I don't usually notice rims...I can't tell a $40 rim from a $400 rim...but, this photo really got my attention....of course there Swiss...not sure if they are available in the U.S... for more info. go to www.ding3000.com
