i like it. but i like you more. you made fun of me first. in a place full of guys singing my praises, you made fun of me. called me baby. so tall and lanky. "i think we'll have fun together." what a christmas morning. you smell so good. but didn't want me to drive home. my friends ate you alive, but you stuck around. franci was high. le was pissy drunk. steph may have cursed you out. but you were concerned, and sexy, and sarcastic. i like it. but i like you more. "i'm gonna domesticate you." you wont be the first one who tried. thanks for the shirt. it smells like you. good.

but you went to morehouse ...third time's the charm?

i'll just accept it as my destiny.

i like it. but i like you more.

Too cute!

The gossip blogs are abuzz with speculation that Momma O will be joining President- and First Lady-elect O on their upcoming move to D.C.  Unlike the Obamas, however, our Benevolent Dictator will be copping herself a manse in the far more seemly zip code that 4/5 of us once shared - 20007, of course!  And you know what that means, babygirls: GTOWN.

It seems the District will be the place to be for the next 4 (8???) years - and nobody puts Oprah in the corner.  Babygirl has been looking into the possibility of a $49 million home on Georgetown's 28th Street.  Supposedly, she's not yet seen the digs herself, but has made inquiries.  Looks JUST like the house I lived in junior year!

Yes.

Faced with a faltering economy and a precarious national security position, President George W. Bush made the best of a bad situation and sought to unite the country in spite of Washington’s toxic political culture. 

That’s how Bush views his tenure in office, according to a recent round of exit interviews he and Vice President Dick Cheney have done as part of an effort to wind up their administration on a positive note. 

Their argument is not entirely convincing...

my sweatshirt was too hot last night. i woke up at 5:30, exclaimed "shit," then looked around, as if i had just cursed in church, or woke up my...cat.

it was 12 degrees out, but i was in here sweating. cursing my sweatshirt, furrowing my brow. it was dark, but like a dark light kinda dark. i ain't got no shades in here.

i wanted it to keep me warm, but it burned me. burned me clean up outta my sleep. i'll put it back on again tonight. but this time, i'll make sure it's cool and damp before i close my eyes.

i'd rather cry than sweat.

"I have moved to a smaller house in Paris, and I don't fancy having so much staff now.  The chambermaid, chauffeur and chef are still musts... around the clock."  Karl's other "musts" include his three Hummers — he keeps two in Paris and one in Monte Carlo. "The Hummer is like a tank and gives me a feeling of security," the Kaiser said. "I don't want to drive at the same level as the others."

I'm scared I just lost my best friend. Tonight was its usual shit show until the very end. The guy my bff really loves and I hate, did what he usually does and this time he disrespected me in the process.I hate that she loves a person who I feel is very horrible. I also hate that she defended him when I believe that he was not only wrong but also a piece of shit. Worst of all... I hate how he treats someone I love with every bone in my body. And I'm trying to be understsnding because I know that's how she sometimes feels about the man I love but... I just can't right now. And I love this bitch more than life itself so the idea that a man she loves doesn't appreciate her like I do really hurts. And what really kills me is that the only person I could talk to this abt... Is her.

0 comments
and as much as i hate tourists...

stumbled upon this line while scanning beyonce's elle. to-orist is this amazingly visionary streetwear brand commisioned by kenyan-born, london designer brian gathii. (we're friends on fbook! find him bleez.) his vivid designs splashed upon t-, rugby, and sweatshirts have already penetrated american hip-hop circles.




i'll take one for the hood:
one for the sorority:
and one more for good luck:
hopefully, i'll end up looking like these kids:
gathii says: "my philosophy is that however routine your life may become, you should try to look at it with the fresh eyes of a tourist rather than in a conventional way. i think that idea carries over into my designs. think about how many brands are still using skulls and the same kinds of subject matter in their prints. we try to be a little more adventurous, looking at things like nature and wildlife that don't normally relate to fashion." [jcreport.com]

hm...i'm ok with that.

according to "friends," (aka likely unreliable sources) having conquered the worlds of producing and rapping, Kanye West

has determined to begin his cross over into fashion design... by moving to London this spring!
he will make his new office the Louis Vuitton store on Bond street and has even joked that he will make and serve the tea to get his foot in the door if need be.the bags bear no relevance. they're just a little piece of me.

I read the first page in this book and was sold. This lydia davis is
some kind of susan novelist. If you've ever had any questions abt you
and [lamont] (pause) this babygirl has a short story for you. In the
battle of "who knows my life?" I think it'd be a draw bw lydia and
susan. "Break it down" does just that. And I swear it better be ur
winter break reading. Ur life depends on it.

"I am trying to learn that this playful man who teases me is the same as that serious man talking money to me so seriously he does not even see me anymore and that patient man offering me advice in times of trouble and that angry man slamming the door as he leaves the house. I have often wanted the playful man to be more serious, and the serious man to be less serious, and the patient man to be more playful. As for the angry man, he is a stranger to me and I do not feel it is wrong to hate him. Now I am learning that if I say bitter words to the angry man as he leaves the house, I am at the same time wounding the others, the ones I do not want to wound, the playful man teasing, the serious man talking money, and the patient man offering advice. Yet I look at the patient man, for instance, whom I would want above all to protect from such bitter words as mine, and though I tell myself he is the same man as the others, I can only believe I said those words, not to him, but to another, my enemy, who deserved all my anger."

according to People.com, Lindsay's $100 + leggings have been flying off of shelves at Henri Bendel, Nordstrom, Intermix, Lisa Kline and Intuition!

confident that Lindsay was the latest (lesbian female) Ja Rule, i would have bet my $100 that every project she touched would turn to shit.

not usually one to be amazed by blind consumerism, must admit this one has caught me off guard. i don't even know if i like the leggings? i don't think i like leggings anymore at all? someone tell me - what's going on with all this? apparently i need some help ...

How they do in the Chi'

This is a fun one, babygirls. Chicago politics has a long and storied reputation for being rather cutthroat and corrupt, and Illinois Governor Ron Blagojevich isn't disappointing on that front. "Blago," as the press calls him, was taken into FBI custody this morning for conspiring to parlay his power to fill Barack Obama's soon-to-be vacant Senate seat into a Cabinet appointment for himself or some cold, hard cash money. The disgraced Gov' was caught on tape discussing the possibility of appointing Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett (recently named Senior White House advisor) to Obama's seat in exchange for Obama making him Secretary of Health & Human Services (a role that will be filled by former Sen. Tom Daschle).

Here's a tasty sample: “Unless I get something real good... shit, I’ll just send myself, you know what I’m saying?... [The Senate seat] is a fucking valuable thing, you just don’t give it away for nothing.”

As per us', catch all the drama at Politico.

[Don't worry, BGs, Obama is not implicated in any of the shambles.]Link

this book came highly recommended by the lovely miss lena jackson. and well, when honey tells me to read something, i just read it. this is, in my opinion, the best contemporary novel of our time. written by this monster, Junot Diaz, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao is a candid story with the most unexpected hero.

if you're from the tri-state area - read it.
if as a kid you liked fantasy - read it.
if you root for the underdog - read it.
if you're dominican - read it.
still believe in love? - read it.
want a worthwhile DR history lesson? - read it.

recommended it to my mom who passed it along to her "book group at the country club". turns out if you're old, rich and white you'll love it too.

not beyonce.

i've blogged abt this place before. somehow it's a part of my life, yet i've never even been to the state. my relationships with its products are always difficult, never peaceful. oh, you come from the 'house.

"i do miss you"

that wld have been much better outside of my inbox. right in the matrix between :sending message: and :read new text: i love my blackberry with all my heart. but you make me want to pitch it clean across eastern parkway.

there's nothing reverent abt us.
i blame your 'house.

the first one was a real good boy before he went there. i don't know what the fuck you were.

"let's make it simple"

jordyne told me that we're in a time where places like the 'house aren't necessary in society anymore. that their time has passed.

i've convinced myself that you're not antiquated. then again my favorites are bronte, shakespeare, thoreau. dead motherfuckers.

Obama to world: "Don't mess"

0 comments

President-elect Obama presented his National Security team, or "war cabinet," at a press conference in Chicago yesterday - a lineup of powerhouse advisers and military experts that sends a strong signal to the world about what his administration's foreign policy will be like. The most prominent appointees - Sen. Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, Bob Gates continuing his role as Defense Secretary, and General Jim Jones as National Security Adviser - are notably more hawkish than Obama himself. Keeping Gates indicates that despite his commitment to ending the Iraq War, he will not do so too hastily.


Clinton at State is easily the boldest gesture of them all, however. Put simply, it makes Obama look big; welcoming dissenting viewpoints and rising above old conflicts shows balls and character. Additionally, putting someone so high profile in the role makes it clear that mending Bush's foreign policy blunders will be of the highest priority to the Obama administration. Perhaps most importantly, though, Clinton's well-documented "toughness" (and initial support for the Iraq War), as well as her new colleagues' military experience, seems to be a message from the President-elect that while his foreign policy will be far more diplomatic than his predecessor's, his administration will not be one with which to fuck.

Other appointees include Eric Holder as Attorney General, Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano to lead the Department of Homeland Security, and Dr. Susan Rice as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations (more on this righteous bg to come).

"In the interview with The Times, she defended herself against critics who say she had little input into the designs, which were created by her designer friend Roland Mouret.
'Do I draw? No. Then again, nor do lots of designers. But I put it all on myself and walk around in it and I know what feels comfortable.' "
not sure, but i think that makes you a person who wears clothes. not exactly the same as a clothing designer....

finally, some good PR

(but not on a friday night in new york bc all the tickets will be sold out at the two theaters you go to bc the movie that the fellow with the fly face picked out was just so dope that every cultured new yorker wanted a slice of the pie and you'll be forced to retreat and try again at a kid/grandma-friendly 12 pm the next day.)

first of all; my children will be indian street beggars. (see jamal below). i don't know how this'll be arranged, but when i tell you that these kids are some of the most charismatic, hilarious, innocent, raw, beautiful, adult, knowing, and limber creatures you've ever seen--i really mean it.

if you haven't seen slumdog millionaire, or haven't even heard of it (much like yours truly pre-friday night), and despite the fact that i'm abt to plot-spoil all over your face, GO RIGHT NOW.

when i asked what the movie was abt, i was met with a smorgasbord compilation of "comedy, drama, romance, la la etc etc." nothing too decisive, or helpful. but after seeing how the grim, poverty-stricken lives of indian orphans, the boyish and carefree innocence of brothers, the real parameters of love evolved, the exploitation of children and the poisonous greed of men, the politics of religion, the inexplicable hilarity of a small child doused in human shit, the frivolity of "who wants to be a millionaire," and the universality of human struggle and victory against all odds can all come together and work in a movie that leaves you feeling brand new--"comedy, drama, romance, la la etc etc." become the most poignant words around.

danny boyle (dir. trainspotting, 28 days later) outdid himself with this film, leaving many a movie-goer with big Oscar on the brain. i'd love it. if only to see the above babygirl in his tailored suit (more on tailored suits later) and for him to scream "aaaa-miii-taaaabh!!" in the mic upon accepting his gold man. you'd have to see it to understand.

if that didn't do it--maybe this will lure you there:



you'll be talking abt it for wks thereafter. and i'm not even a movie person. do it for jamal!

i'm a brooklyn girl--i might take some gettin' used to
