Is Solange On The Come Up?

solange intuition 020109

solange intuition 020109

(as seen on the YBF… she has been seen allot on there lately)

(in a good light, not a bad one most of the time)

I am going to be the first to call it. It may be a year away or more, but I think Solonge is doing some very good moves. You practically see her everywhere but it seems more about her fashion than her singing.

This, I think, is going to work. It will be a way to re-introduce herself as a singer while being very relevant as a fashioista. I think if she lands a gig (not for Dereon) as a model for some high end designer will help her tremendously…

At any rate, I think she is on the come up.  Hopefully to help that particular situation, next month I will do my best to follow her fashion profile and sightings. So she will be my official first celebrity fashion watch for the month.

So starting tomorrow march 1, it will be Solonge fashion month. She will have her own fashion page and I will do my best to follow what she is wearing and whats on her feet.. May even follow what she is doing on the grown and sexy level.


A Nice Dunk… The Ladies Are Doing It

Real Deal Dunk From A Lady

(a pretty good assist and a in-game dunk… by the ladies)

I wish they say what school this is from and junk… I would love to interview the young lady on what she is doing and how she is doing it.

As seen on MSNBC Sports.

Lost Order For Negro League Baseball Bat

(as seen on MSNBC.com)

An order form found for orders made specifically for players in the Negro League. Cool.


Another Future Review: Blaxpotation Movies

Coffy

(watching Coffy on iTunes)

Who is going to be first as one of a series of reviews on blaxpotation movies? Coffy. That is what’s first. I have no idea how many are out there, nor do I know if all of them are on iTunes (or will be put on itunes) or not, but I will be watching them.

Hopefully I will get some help out with this from friends and maybe some of them will write the reviews, but for now, its me myself and I.

I am going to also try to have some polls on what I should look at next and what do you think of my review. Plus who knows, maybe I ill have a commenter write a guest post reviewing the very same movie as a retort.


Portrait of the Grown and Sexy: Aaron Schock, age 27

Aaron Schock - Americas Youngest Congressmen

(from the Today Show)

At a young age he is now a congressmen and has done a whole bunch of other things way before most of us even think about it. He is what I think is the portrait of someone who is grown and sex. Why did he become who he became? Because a school board wouldn’t allow him to graduate early from school.

This is a perfect example of someone not taking no for an answer (without being a prick) and actually doing something about a situation. I tell you this, if you want something, stand up. Do research… I will say it again, DO RESEARCH. I will say it one more time, do research. It is one of the biggest reasons why I created the links archive for the grown and sexy (and one  of the reasons why I created eSource Magazine an formed my own business because I think its high time for a business to help small businesses and individuals get the leg up on life). You have to do research. I would dare say it may be more important than being an expert on a specific subject or 2 (or 3).

Well anyway, here are the details:

Aaron Schock, age 27 – Youngest Congressmen

Member of the U.S. House of Representatives
from Illinois‘s 18th district

There’s no shortage of 20-somethings in Washington, particularly around the White House and Capitol.

Most are just beginning their careers in the nation’s capital but, reports CBS News Senior White House Correspondent Bill Plante, as Aaron Schock comes to town, he’s raising more than a few eyebrows.

At 27, Schock looks more like your typical congressional aide than a congressman, but he’s taking the oath as a Republican member of the House of Representatives from the 18th district in central Illinois.

He also has a face book profile (so do I, maybe I should add him). and probably has a Twitter because, who doesn’t? I kow I have one lol


Official Potrait of First Lady – Michelle Obama

First-Lady-Official-Potrait

(as seen on MSN and of course Today)

A nice video on what this fashion trend could mean, who the designer is, and more info. Man, I need to go to the gym.

By the way, do you think the sleevless look is appropriate fir the first lady to show her arms?

Can you believe I am asking this question? lol

Go and see the video.


Another Review Coming Your Way: Plurk

Plurk is probably a little better than twitter, but I think it can do more to differential itself from twitter than just being much like it.

I am testing it out and a review of the service is coming your way in a week. I will tell you guys this; I like the timeline feature and the ability to comment rather quickly to waht you add.

Anyway, if you want, you can follow me on there by clicking here:

Ja-Rule: Always On Time Featuring Ashanti

Ja-Rule Always On time featuring Ashanti

Say whatever you want to say about Ja Rule (me personally, I don’t see anything wrong with him), this one one of his best works. A pure classic period. Currently viewable on Yahoo Music and hopefully added to my grown and sexy collection of music videos in before the month ends.
