Culture Snobette Turns 25.

A lazy fashion observation....

Ripped straight from my Twitter:

Leather shorts in the forecast for FW09......I'm all about it!

Cop you some!!

New Reasons for Living

Hey Snobbers,

So I been semi uninspired of late. And as I'm sure you've noticed haven't posted anything recently. Since I've started this blog, I've encountered a steady stream of supporters/whip-crackers telling me "You need to update your blog" or asking "When are you gonna write something new?"

For anyone who really knows me you know that:

A) I'm lazy

B) This blog is a labour of love...emphasis on labour

and

C) I'll NEVER blog simply for the sake of blogging.

Blogging for the sake of blogging and, for that matter, doing anything without the true motivation or inspiration produces half-assed shit. And I ain't never been about half-assin' it, except, maybe when it comes to sex.... Just kidding.

As a Cultural Critic, I feel that too often people "create" without possessing any real love for what they do. And without love, there is no respect for the craft. Hence, people will stamp their names on any-old shit-in-a-box and keep it moving.

Well there will be none of that here at Critique de Culture, where we blog with integrity and put our heart and souls into each tiny morsel of hate and snobbery.

With that being said here are my new reasons for living:

Reason #1

MOMA's Atlantic Pacific Installation

The good folks at the Museum of Modern Art have bestowed on us lucky Brooklynites reproductions of over 50 pieces of art to be plastered all over the Atlantic Ave/Pacific trainstation.

Check out this adorable excerpt from their mission statment:.

"We know you’re moving at warp speed to get from here to there, but take a
breath and take a look. We hope what you see in the station changes the way you
see the world today, if only for a moment. And it’s a reminder that the real
MoMA is only a short ride away."

How amazing is that?!? Now I get to enjoy the works of Kara Walker, Vincent van Gogh, Jackson Pollack, Picasso, and Roy Lichtenstein while I wait for that 2 train that will never come.

Reason #2
This Why You're Fat.com

Dubbed as the place "Where Dreams Become Heart Attacks", this website features the most gluttonus, artery-clogging, bulemia-inducing delicacies to ever grace the earth.

Feast your eyes upon the Bacon Cheeseburger with Chocolate covered Bacon

Gravy Covered Pizza

or the Spaghetti Meatball on a stick

Strands of cooked spaghetti worked into a meatball, dipped in dough, deep-fried, then topped with marinara sauce

For my Ramen lovers, get into the Romellette, an omlet made with Ramen noodles.


YUMM!!!

Reason #3

The scaffolds are coming down at Topshop!!

Rejoice Retail Whores, the Brits are (finally) coming!!

Au revoir Dearie...

Blossom Dearie, Cult Chanteuse, Dies at 82

Manhattan - Blossom Dearie

Its never too late to enjoy an artist. Even in death this is how their art lives on.

yesterday when i was young - blossom dearie

Open Letter to Taraji P. Henson.....

Dear Taraji,
I'll make this short and sweet.
Congratulations girl on the Oscar nod for your role as Queenie in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.




We gots a semi-Black president in office, you gettin' Oscar nominations and I got my W2 early......the skies the limit for us colored folks.
But honey, if you're really looking to break out as a serious movie star or at least shake that D list Black celeb status of yours.....


You can't be doing Jamie Foxx videos!!! Ya just can't!

Jamie Foxx ft. T.I. - Just Like Me (New Official Video) 2008
by xiar

Personally you shoulda been nominated for playing Yvette in Baby Boy. Now that was a Tour de Force!!

That role deserved a lifetime achievement award or something!!!

Now I'm sure you didn't see the Oscar nod coming when you agreed to be a part-time video vixen. But you gotta see the long haul....think about your future. Acting alongside Brad Pitt and then being Jamie Foxx's video candy is like passing up a full scholarship to NYU to work at Marc Jacobs store for the discount and clothing allowance.

THINK TWICE BABY GIRL!! THINK TWICE!!

Sincerely here for your best interest,

Culture Snobette

OMFG: PRESIDENTIAL CREAMER

CREAMER ALERT! CREAMER ALERT!!

Damn he fine!!! I can't even speak proper English.... so caught up right now!!

Why don't they just stop??!?!

Quit rubbing your amazingness in all our faces, Mr. and MRS PRESIDENT!!

I know this is wrong on soo many levels

morally

spiritually

patriotically

but whatevs

I'll get over it in a couple of months, but for now.....

The Opposite of Food Porn

America takes 20 leaps forward by electing a Biracial president...correction a FINE ASS Biracial President

Then a Greenwich Village Bakery takes 5 steps back with the

DRUNKEN NEGRO FACE COOKIE!!

OMG!! Racists everywhere now have an Official Snack.

I hate that I had to get the video from World Star HipHop.com and FOX 5......two of my sworn enemies. But desperate times call for desperate measures.

Roll the tape....

The damn cookie doesn't even look appetizing....but that Dead Goose bread sure is sexy!!

And how is he gonna say that he has asked Black people if they found the cookie offensive?!?!
Did he ask all Black people?!? I'm sorry, I must've missed that knock on my door (I prolly thought he was a Jehovah's Witness).

After careful and repeated screenings of this video, it is beyond the shadow of a doubt that this man is INSANE. His food handler license needs to be revoked and he needs to hauled off to the loony bin.


PS: Did I mention that hes charging $3.50 for his "work of art"..... Just plain ole' crazy.

Eating Down Bottom

This is how you know that you're below the Mason Dixon Line......

This is a steak...... wrapped in Applewood Bacon.

Well maybe steak isn't your thang....The Lard Innovators over at The Golden Corral also serve Chicken Breast wrapped in Bacon. Or if you're really ballin' outta control, pop some champagne with your Grilled Pork Loin, you guessed it, wrapped in Bacon.

It even has its own commercial....that plays regularly on TV.

Am I the only grossed the Eff-out and hella confused right now??

Say 'Hello' to heartburn and Git Some at The Golden Corral

....Busy Making History

Hey Snobbers,
its ya girl checking in live and direct from the Nation's Capital.
Bright and early tomorrow morning I'll be heading down to the National Mall to watch our 44th President aka Dark and Lovely take office.
Bama Bama Y'all!!
Stay focused and stay tuned for a full Post-Inaugural Wrap Up.
Its sure to be patriotic, hilarious and a full-on tack fest!!!

XOXO....A Gossip Girl Spin-off?

The Times says it and I believe it.

Confession: my DVR is up-to-its neck in Gossip Girl!!!
I'm currently living for this show....this show and this video clip

You can thank Dj Lindsey for brightening your day with that amazing moment in Black Cinema.

You're welcome...... Irrelevant, MUCH!

Double Whammy: Bilal @ SOBs

Double your pleasure....

and no I ain't talkin' 'bout no damn gum neither .

Two nights of Bilal.

Live @ SOB's.....this one is gonna be a Panty Creamer for sure.

I hope he actually shows up for both performances....I mean I love B and all, but the last time I saw him perform he was actin' all sketchy and whatnot....and kept leaving the stage for extended periods of time. Made a sister nervous and all, had me clutching me purse and making sure the exits were clearly marked.
Either way I will definitely be in the house for one of these nights....shit, both of them if it were up to me.

If you love and respect yourself get ur tickets NOW..... and by NOW I mean yesterday.

Check SOB's website for the 411

Peep this funny ass performance of "Sometimes"......it gets really good around 2:17.

Baby, I Can't Wait !!!

Shoe Porn: Duck Duck Goose.....

Lustworthy !

The Duck Boot all sexed up.

Coco avant Chanel

Get ready bitches.... if you thought the devil wore Prada? Wrong!!...he wears Chanel and many strands of pearls and 5 inch heels and pantyhose and fancies red lipstick.
...and 'no' Karl Lagerfeld is not the devil but he did style the movie.

It doesn't take a psychic or a genius or even a high school drop-out to guess that Lifetime wonked up Gabrielle Coco Chanel biography. Truthfully, they should be ashamed to have even attempted it...They casted Shirley MacLaine and the movie was in ENGLISH DAMMITT!!



So hopefully somebody got it right this time. Written and directed by Anne Fontaine, Coco Avant/Before Chanel focuses on the Chanel's early years: the people and events made her in to the icon we cherish today.

Coco at work.

Filming began in early summer last year and its said to premiering next month.
Looks like its gonna be FIERCE!!
Ok, now all in favor of permanently retiring the word FIERCE say Aye?
Aye...I'm actually quite ashamed that I even used it....please forgive me I know not what I do.


Audrey Tatou as Gabrielle Coco Chanel.
