Sometimes, I like my life

So last night was the company Holiday Party.

And this was the gift that I walked away with......

The Marc Jacobs Loves Lil' Kim T-Shirt!!!

I was soo hype that I grabbed the mic from the DJ and said "BK ALL DAY, EVERYDAY!!"

There is a cute story to go with this shirt. During the summer one the associates wore it to work and I nearly ripped it off her back. The same day a customer came in with it on.....and none of them could remember where they got it.....LIARS!!

Anyway, The Good Lord saw it fit that I own this lil' gem....Thanks JC!!

Dear Santa.....

I been good all year.

And during these tough economic times, a sista like me ain't really askin' for much.

'Precciate it!!

"Baby This is Business!"

Shayne Calore, the brain behind Hood by Air, adds singer to his list of accolade with this AMAZING song "Business". (Follow Link to Listen...duh)

By hooking up with the House of Children for this banger, Shayne has given you the soundtrack for your FW08 looks.

This track is soo hard!!!.............I'm totally gagging

I need this joint on blast next time I roll thru @ Mr. Black

(ya know, a party where people actually come to dance and don't give a shit about who is looking).

Shout out to Patent Leather Daddy for putting us on

.........and now I'm putting you on.

......You're welcome!

PS: "Are you gonna buy anything???"

DON'T BE SHOWZ!!!

A Fox and A Snob

oh yeah....i know it was like 3 weeks ago but let me sum up my SS09 Fashion week


Yes, this pic was plastered all over Style.com for a few days.
Damn, they caught a BK girl out there looking all crazy at the Alexander Wang After Party.

Ridics!!

YESSS!!! WERRKK!!!

Any one who even remotely knows me, knows that SS08 for me is all about the Gays.
I've been talking and dancing like a gay, specifically the Banjee ones, so profusely that on numerous occaisons my boyfriend has threatened to drop my flaming ass!!
So when one of my bestest G buddies put me on to Hercules and Love Affair, I ate it up like a 2 piece and a biscuit


Hercules is this amazing ensemble group of singers, musicians and voguers, (yes bitch I said voguers!!)



Their song "Blind" was on my MySpace for the like, forever and sparked many compliments on my "in the know"-ness; which is always a good thing.

Watch it. Eat it. Live it.

Get tour dates, downloads, info and more at Hercules and Love Affair Website.

And shoutout to Shayne and Lacole, le Voguers. WEERRRKKK!!!

And another thing

In unrelated news......
Where was I when this song came out??


And most importantly.....Why do I like it soo much?!?!?

"We Rockin' Stilettos Hoe!! We Rockin' Stilettos Hoe!!"

Pon Di Replay...Literally

Hey Snobbers,
Here at Critique de Culture we honor trendsetters and trailblazers. For example Whitley Gilbert,

Grace Jones,


And the incomparable.....Billy Dee Williams!!

But what we don't tolerate is swagger jackers, d*ck riders, and wannabes.
So I must take this time to shine a light on Little Miss Barbados 1989 aka Pon di Replay aka Rihananna.

While I fully give RiRi props for "chopping her tresses", (ie: taking out her tracks... u really wasn't fooling anybody anyway),

I must demote her a few notches for being in direct violation of swagger jackin'!!
RiRi is clearly suffering with an acute case of Kid Sister-itis.

No!! not that broad...

Rihanna copped the Assymetrical cut the was made famous and ubiquitous my none other than Kelis. Truth be told, I still birds on the B46 bus with the cut, yapping away on their Sidekicks.

Kelis made it cool for sisters to leave the doobie wraps alone for a minute and think outside the box with their hair do's. We must not forget that Kelis's head was about 5 diff'rent colors when she came on the scene back in the late 90's. Miss Thang didn't need nobodie's permission, nor did she need any cosigners and for this she gets a 3 gun salute...Buk! Buk! Buk! (yes, i'm cultured and all, but lets not forget I'm from Flatbush. BK Stand up! )

Roll the Tape....
Here Kelis rocks the Assym look back in 2006.


Then comes Miss RiRi with it, all late in '08.


Now its 2008, Mama Kelis is over the look and, like Denise Huxtable back in the 80's, she moves on to some fly shit that no one else is doing.
Kelis sporting a cropped Mushroom.


And before you know it there goes little Rudy Huxtable trying to keep up....

Snobbers, consider this my open letter Rihanna.
Rihanna, you pay people good money to make sure you look hot, egdy, punk or whateva it is you claim to be now-a-days. Next time they come to you with a pic of someone from 6 months ago, sayin this is your "new" look....Slap them! Cuz they ain't your friend.
Thank you.
Culture Snobette


PS: Oohhhhh... Now I get why her song was called "Pon Di Replay"

Precisely...Don't Get Slapped!!
