Manic Monday

Having trouble studying to that new T.I. album? Is my girlfriend Rhianna's voice too annoying to concentrate on your chemistry notes? Does Neyo always make you want to go to sleep during those all nighters during finals week? Well then it is time to switch up your music selection while studying. If you did not know, jukin and jivin to that new Kanye West single in the library does not help you retain that Quanitative Analysis that you study for 3 hours at a time. You should try some music that is cool, mellow, light, and devoid of alot of base.

Insert Frank Sinatra here. Yes. Frank Sinatra. Please open up your music prejudices for the purpose of graduating! Just go to Pandora.com and type in Frank Sinatra. They will filter in everything from his time period. You may have to skip through some of the more edgier songs from the 50's but I promise you will have better success studying. Don't knock til your try it!

Until next time...Find your swank. Think insane. Be Urbane.

Just Window Shopping

Of course I can not afford anything in the REAL Louis Vutton, well accept for an extra button lying around, so I will not be shopping in this newly designed 5th avenue store...but when Rhianna and I go shopping, I promise to take pictures for you all. Until next time.

Cool Quote of the Week

My president is black, my Lambo's blue
And I'll be goddamned if my rims ain't too
My momma ain't at home, and daddy's still in jail
Tryna make a plate, anybody seen the scale?
My president is black, my Lambo's blue
And I'll be goddamned if my rims ain't too
My money's light green and my Jordans light grey
And they love to see white, now how much you tryna pay?
Let's go!

[Verse 1: Young Jeezy]
Today was a good day, hope I have me a great night
I don't know what you fishin for but catch you a great white
Me, I see great white, heavy as killer whales
I cannot believe this, who knew it came in bails
Who knew what came with jail, who knew what came with prison
Just cause you got opinions, does that make you a politician?
Bush robbed all of us, would that make him a criminal?
And then he cheated in Florida, would that make him a seminal?
I say and I quote, "We need a miracle"
And I say a miracle cause this shit is hysterical
By my nephews and nieces, I will email Jesus
Tell him forward to Moses and CC Allah
Mr. Soul Survivor, guess that make me a Konvict
Be all you be, now don't that sound like some dumb shit
When you die over crude oil as black as my nigga Boo
It's really a Desert Storm, that's word to my nigga Clue
Catch me in Las Vegas, A.R. Arizona
Rep for them real niggas, I'm winnin in California
Winnin in Tennessee, hands down Atlanta
Landslide Alabama, on my way to Sevana

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Young Jeezy]
I said I woke up this morning, headache this big
Pay all these damn bills, feed all these damn kids
Buy all these school shoes, buy all these school clothes
For some strange reason my son addicted to Polos
Love me some spinach dip, I'm addicted to Houston's
And if the numbers is right I take a trip out to Houston
An earthquake out in China, a hurricane in New Orleans
Street Dreams Tour, I showed my ass in New Orleans
Did it for Soulja Slim, brought out B.G.
It's all love Bun, I'm forgivin you Pimp C
You know how the Pimp be, that nigga gon' speak his mind
If he could speak down from heaven he'd tell me stay on my grind
Tell him I'm doin fine, Obama for mankind
We ready for damn change so y'all let the man shine
Stuntin on Martin Luther, feelin just like a king
Guess this is what he meant when he said that he had a dream

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Nas]
Yeah, our history, black history, no president ever did shit for me
Had to hit the streets, had to flip some keys so a nigga won't go broke
Then they put us in jail, now a nigga can't go vote
So I spend doe, all these hoes is trippin
She a ain't a politician, honey's a polotician
My president is black, rolls golden charms
Twenty-two inch rims like Hulk Hogan's arms
When thousands of peoples is riled up to see you
That can arouse ya ego, we got mouths to feed so
Gotta stay true to who you are and where you came from
Cause at the top will be the same place you hang from
No matter how big you can ever be
For whatever fee or publicity, never lose your integrity
For years there's been surprise horses in this stable
Just two albums in, I'm the realest nigga on this label
Mr. Black President, yo Obama for real
They gotta put your face on the five-thousand dollar bill

Until inauguration....-Find your swank. Think insane. Be urbane.

Wear with Caution: The Cropped Suit

High Fashion Menswear has been obsessed with the cropped suit for the past few years thanks to the innovation (or abomination) of the likes of Thom Browne, Jil Sander, Dolce and Gabbana etc...Even Brooks Brothers is getting in the mix (with the help of Thom Browne of course). A cropped suit is quite literally, a regular suit only shrunken. There is a very fine line when it comes to the cropped suit. If you're short and you're suit is not cropped enough, no one will understand the look you're going for, on the flipside, if you're tall and you're suit too cropped: Instant Urkel Status. I know the geek chic thing is in but even with a cropped suit, your trousers should end just above your ankles not in the middle of your calves. Your jacket should hit right at your hips and your sleeves right at your wrists. Again, wear this with caution, you won't catch me wearing one (I feel like I'm too tall) but I admire those with the courage to own this style and wear it with confidence. Just like a regular suit; the details (shirt, tie, shoes, tie bar, suspenders) will help complete the look. As Always May the force be with you.

P.S.
This picture is the man himself Thom Browne (notice the naked ankles). Feel free to opine, declare him style genius or deviant, or be indifferent.

May the force be with you,
