Distant Relatives





Nas and Damian Marley, presents 'Distant Relatives' two of the most prolific artists ever to come together to drop an album. Forget jay-z and r.kelly, this is a classic anyone who appreciates music should have. i've been so busy i haven't had time to pick up CDs lately but today i made my way to the CD store and picked up 'distant relatives' and 'the ArchAndroid'. i have never been this excited to own both CDs and all of these lived up to their hype. Jeez, even Nas goes in on his recent divorce from Kelis, and Damian Marley goes so hard it's crazy. What amazed me most was the packaging of the CD, it was the paperback kind, and the artwork and design is the best i've seen so far, why? because it's afrocentric. There's an African map between the two artist's on the cover and a message by Marcus Gavey on the back of the CD, it states "A people without the knowledge of their past history,origin and culture is like a tree without roots" The whole Cd takes you back to your roots,if you are black,you know your roots,i'm a proud African,and this highlight of Africa stimulates my mind and makes me see the richness of Africa. I believe the world will need Africa soon,very soon we will be on the tip of every tongue and we will shine. Thanks Damian and Nas, this has got to be the best album of the year so far......

Fasasha: A lil' about me



I don't have a title for this note,nor do i claim to be a writer of any sort. i grew up in Ghana, a rich country in all aspects in West Africa. Growing up was hard for me,my mum was constantly on the go from one country to the other in order for greener pastures. I was mostly brought up by my dad,a brother whom i love dearly,uncles and a multitude of boys in the family. Growing up, i was not your regular girl who wanted the barbie toys and play houses, i could care less for toys. I ran around the house shirtless, and i remember my mum chasing me to give me my own medicine. i grew up a tom boy as most American's would say but at the same time when growing up my mum would come back from trips with dresses and shoes for me,i loved every single one of them yet i loved hanging with the boys and that's how i fell in love with the opposite sex. i wore combat boots at the age of 4 with jeans jackets, and that style hasn't left me till today.
The reason for this is just to explain to some of reader's why i blog so much about the opposite sex and their clothes and why i upload so much clothes for men. i like picking men's clothing and putting a feminine twist to it. i believe this styling has been around for ages,but this means a lot to me since most times i'm stereotyped by a lot of people,especially my African colleagues who look at me and dare i say it call me whatever they want. i want to be the girl who stands different at a party,or gathering. The girl you look at that dressed up from her boyfriends closet and still has her feminity intact and massive sex appeal. It's been done for ages,centuries, and i'm not the first to start. Being African doesn't mean you need to be in a box, and i wish they would see that.
i will continue to admire my sense of style,regardless of what anyone thinks.I'm me,my past experiences influence me and so does my sense of style. i look up to ladies like shirley sham,who dresses up from a man's closet but yet her sex appeal and feminity is still intact.love you shirley!

Summer Essential:The White V-Neck T



White to me is regal,meaning you can throw me in mud, put me in anything white and i will feel clean and like i'm sitting on top of the world,with my muddy face. That's what wearing anything white does to me.
I wear alot of t's during the summer,so should everybody, and i wear the hell out of them as well. It's like my mind is programmed that whenever i get ready to go anywhere and it's hot,the White V-neck t is my first option. Accessorizing the White t is easy, you can throw on anything, and it will match with it. i'ma very easy person when it comes to my clothes,i don't like any commotion with my clothing,at all.
The other thing i love about the White V Neck t is that it shows some skin,jeez it's hot out there and if you are trying to throw some sex appeal out there it's your best bet. How many do i have? i don't keep the number because i like to have them looking crispy white so after about 2/3 wears, i get new sets! Toast to one of the greatest inventions in my world,the White V-neck T!
Where do i get them? Target,TJ Maxx F21 and really anywhere they've got them on sale,lol!
PS. Your favorite celebrities rock white v-neck t's all summer as well!!!

Before Class Came into Session:Street Etiquette



These are pics of Josh and Trav before they became Street Etiquette. I found these on Lookbook and in a recent interview with urban outfitter's they were asked if they posted their fits on there and they said no,i wonder why?
Josh and Trav bring their A game to Men's styling,looking at these pics,they've come a long way,lol,check them out on www.streetetiquette.com

Skateboard Obama x NERD Oprah



The pic with Oprah in, is kind of hypocritical to me. I haven't watched Oprah in years just due to the fact that i work strange hours but i've been aware of the fact that she doesn't do Hip Hop so i'm wondering why she's hanging with Pharrell and P.Diddy in the club? It's funny but i wish there was one person in that pic,and that would be 50 cent,now, you know he would not pretend,dude would get at Oprah and call her ass out like he does with everybody. Even though 50 ain't had a serious hit in years one thing i like about dude is that he keeps it real.Waddup 50!lol
Now y'all know i fucks with Obama so i'm not even gonna dick ride him like Thugnificent and Will.i.am on that episode of Boondocks but he gets extra cool points for hanging with my hubby (wink).lol.
