Proenza Schouler x Target
Dude, It's my blog right? So i'll be honest with you guys.....I actually can't stand PS, Man Fuck, their shit is generally not right for either my body or my tastes. Either too much color, too mannish, no waists, blah blah blah.
At any rate, They do have a line at Target right now, actually, I unpacked the shit the other night, and I was excited about it. They've released knockoffs of their signature (good, wearable, easily translatable) pieces. Hoodie's with logo's, sculptured dresses, striped mini's, I can see it on all my girls.
I plan on copping the purple dress though, on the real, $40 bucks sounds good to me.
BTW: "En La Calle Photoshoot on Friday, after Jiu Jitsu class of course, With Teresa Nasty. Pictures up as soon as possible.

New Videos!!!
First Up:
You know we have a thing for Kelis here at the Honeypot, so I had to put this one up.....
Starring our girl and that blonde hair.....And Cee-lo. Sounds like a triple threat right? It is! This song is beautiful, even though the video doesn't have the full version, I love it just the same. Plus...OMG! That Coat!
Another blonde I'm feeling, Madame Gwen Stefani, Along with Akon in "Sweet Escape".
Okay, you're like, Gwen? And to that I'll have to say, She's fly. Mad Fly. And consistently on point with the sassy shit I like to dance to while waiting on bus stops.....Quit That Hating. Check out that striped dress and those white pumps she's rocking! Vogue said white pumps were ironic in 2002, I like to think back issues are where one should turn for fashion help, so we're going to say white pumps are good to go. Also, please don't think I didn't notice that striped jumpsuit, I'm in a jumpsuit mood right now anyway....please believe your girl will be on that shit real soon.

EBAY MADNESS!!
So, I just discovered the power of Ebay. I'd been before, glancing around, but I didn't have a credit card then and dammit, I wasn't really feeling the idea of buying things on the Internet. Now I've changed my ways. Here's a sneaky peek at what I bought yesterday:
I've been trying to come up with names to call them, because I like to name my clothes, I'm thinking the first one will be called "Goo Goo" because it's on that Hoochie in Gucci tip, and the second one will be called "Smarty" because in Hindu yellow is a color that inspires intellect.
And here you were thinking that we just shop and go to parties, we're actually both pretty smart, but that's another entry.
Plus:
I also hit up GirlProps, if you've ever spent any time in NYC, you know all about this joint, for the uninitiated it's basically the site to hit if you like buying cheap jewelry. I don't think I have to pool the kids who read this page for an answer on that one.....because we all do. They even have things men can wear, if they're feeling like risk takers. Here's what I had to get off with:
Sooo cute right? I paid $13.97 total, with the shipping and tax! I feel like I made off like a fat rat, but you should check it out for yourself at GirlProps.com .
We're back at it, kinda like crack addicts.

THE FLY BROAD OF THE WEEK!!!
London born, Lily Allen is my girl! Not only does she have an excelent sense of style, but girl has great music. She released her first album "Alright, Still" last summer and has been blowing up since. With excellent joints like "Littlest Things" and "Smile", I became an instant fan.
Never heard of her you say? Catch her on your tube Saturday February 3rd as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live.

DREAM GIRLS
My man took me to see one of the most stunningly well done movies I've seen in a while the other night; Dream Girls. I'm not a big fan of musicals, but the flow of the songs and the story were totally in sync. Dope casting, dope wardrobe, dope writing. DOPE! Was it just me or did anyone else feel proud to see Eddie Murphy playing a role of a drug addicted funk/soul artist rather than a daycare owner? LOL. Dream Girls and this summer's Idlewild have totally raised the bar for black cinema and I couldn't be prouder! Eye candy for the soul!

"It's My Block Now Aight Kid?"
Now that we've been doing this for a minute, and have been getting feedback about entries and people showing love, I think it's appropriate for me to say that we really appreciate it. We do this for Dallas, ummm, and the free champagne I get at parties now...Definitely.
_______________________________________________________________
Lot's of things about to happen, first up:
This is going to be ill, I'll be in the building for a bit to peep out the scenery but will be dipping out to go another event, oh the life of a social butterfly! Keep in mind that you need to RSVP, because there WILL BE A LIST, so click the flyer to hit up the P.E.G. Myspace.
________________________________________________________________
Next!
This is the event I will be leaving P.E.G. to go to. The Jumpoff has proven to be a party for the grown and sexy folks in Dallas, and the performers: Steve Austin and Pikhasso have always delivered when it comes to a good show. This is a monthly event, so if you can't make this one don't fret, it only get's better.

Last But Not Least:
THE BROAD OF THE WEEK!!!
Carmen Ejogo Wright
This is the first time I actually feel a little bad calling a woman a broad, but she's fierce as fuck...no lie. She was born in London, is a classically trained actress, plus she's married to jeffrey Wright, one of my favorite actors. He's the guy who played Basquiat in "Basquiat". Let's just say she's an all around stunner.

Music!!
I'd be a fool if I were to say that I liked music...because that'd be a supreme understatement. I luxuriate in music, get lost in the notes, fantasize about being a rock star or dancer to it, I live in it. I've gone through my best and worst triumphs and losses to music, so when people laugh at the idea of having a soundtrack to your life, I have to second guess them. I know some of these groups, okay, all of these groups aren't new, but hell, they're good-Plus they make me happy and I'm the one writing so I can do what I want!
This Is What I've Been Listening Lately:
Interpol :
They top my list because when someone asks me who my favorite group is they are the first name I pull out of the mental Rolodex. The soaring guitars, anguish, despair, this band's music sounds like it wreaks of cigarettes and NYC loft parties. I can tell you anything about any song they have recorded, own everything they've ever put out, and have all of their music memorized. My heart belongs to Interpol, they have everything I look for in music.
*Songs to Look Up
-Stella Was A Diver And She Was Always Down
-Not Even Jail
-Say Hello To The Angels
-Roland
Radiohead :
Honestly, if you like good music, Radiohead factors into any best of the best list simply for their contributions to the 20th century's music scene. Besides that, they're really really fucking talented. Kid A and OK Computer are like electronic symphonies, and you cannot argue with that, plus they're good from beginning to end. Amnesiac is also an amazing collection of music, even if it didn't get good reviews.
*Songs To Look Up
-Talk Show Host
-Paranoid Android
-Life In A Glass House
-Everything In It's Right Place
Maria Callas :
Maria Callas was a goddess, and her voice makes me cry. Her story is also really interesting, she sang for most of her life, and it shows in her vocal control, she is where I really discovered the meat of opera vocals, and remains an inspiration to this day.
*Some Songs To Look Up
-Queen Of The Night Aria
-La Mamma Morta
-O Mio Bambino
-Ave Maria
Sarah Brightman :
Sarah Brightman sang the "Techno Opera" from 5th Element. She did the vocals for the blue chick. She literally sang that whole piece.....That alone is enough to give her praise, but she's got a voice that melts around music, and forges it's own path into things. I admire those who can make their voices do unnatural things. She also inspired her ex husband, Andrew Lloyd Weber, To write Requiem-One of the most beautiful opera's of the century.
*Songs To Look Up
-The Diva Dance
-The Diva Dance
-Pie Jesu
-Time To Say Goodbye
-Memory
Thelonious Monk:
I mean honestly, I'm biased because my father looks like him to me, so I listen to him to conjure up memories of my favorite man, but damn, listen to Off Minor and then get back to me, he was the fucking bee's knee's!
*Songs To Look Up
-Off Minor
-Epistrophy
-Straight, No Chaser
-Straight, No Chaser
MC5-
I like steamroller shit, that Johnny Cash, rolling rolling rolling, about to crash into you rock and roll shit. If I can shake my ass and swing my hair to it, it's crack and I'll put it on repeat.
*Songs To Look Up
-Teenage Lust
-Motor City Is Burning
-Kick Out The Jams
Sergio Mendes:
I like a strong Samba beat, but can also savor Maracatu and Bossa Nova just as easily, Sergio Mendes is a master of these, as well as Pipoca music. He showed his ass on "Brasileiro" though, which delivered punch after punch to anyone who listened to it. The albums he did with Brasil66 are also noteworthy, he took Our music to the rest of the world, and did it in a way that America could swallow it in the turbulent 60's.
*Songs To Look Up
-Fanfarra
-Magalenha
-Promise Of A Fisherman
-Mas Que Nada
Spankrock:
He's fun, and cute. Those are both things I like. Besides, every girl needs a guy who talks dirty to her right?
*Songs To Look Up
-Chilly Will
-Blow ( With Amanda Blank)
-Backyard Bettie
-Bump
-Sweet Talk
-Sweet Talk
Anything Dipset Oriented:
I was dissing these cats before I knew what they were about, they like grit, dirt, and anything real. I can feel that. Especially right now, when I'm looking for the hood in everything I touch.
*Songs To Look Up
-Crunk Music (Jim Jones)
-To Be A Diplomat (JR Writer)
-Grill Em(JR Writer)
-Santana's Town(Juelz Santana)
-Shotta's-(Juelz Santana)
-Shotta's-(Juelz Santana)

The Flyest Broad Of The Week:
-Kimora Lee Simmons-
Now, I would understand if you turned off your monitor's right now and vowed never to return to this blog again, but I really like Kimora. Her story is wild, and so is she......literally. Even though I have become salty on the mixed chicks lately, she's fire to look at, and an intense businesswoman, and in this world, that's enough to keep you on my good side.
(I Hope Everyone's New Year Was As Dope As Mine!)
