Walk of Shame...Keep your head up!

Don't front brotha's in your prickish youth, Saturday morning meant waking up next to a complete stranger in a cold sweat, before shuffling her out the window without so much as an Egg McMuffin. Now that you're a sensitive adult...do the same! But also, give her a Walk of Shame Kit.

I'm sitting her smh because "We" women knows this funny and we know a queen that has took this "Walk". If you didn't value my words in the past as you were leaving out the door I often mentioned to create or grab your "T-Bag"! It's vital...just ask the "real" homies who are nicknamed: Bully, JGD, Heez, Gabby, Indian Goddess,Tybo, Kei, Baby-D and even Drunk Jae lol..I should have created this 1st! ALL of YOU know I have encouraged you to never leave home with out your

"T-Bag"...If your wondering what a T-Bag is, just take 1 guess in the comment section...

Developed by a former owner of SoBe's Automatic Slim's (origin of countless shameful walks), this Foster's oil can-sized kit is compact enough to stash bedside, and contains everything last night's lucky lady needs for a semi-dignified walk home, so thoughtful, it'll compensate for the fact that you were a selfish and brief lover. So she can at least project outward pride to conceal her hungover, rotting heart, the kit packs a 100% cotton OSFM (one-size-fits-most) coverall dress that implies she might have just left the spa, massive full-coverage sunglasses to hide bloodshot

eyes/streaked makeup, and flip flops, so each click of her stilettos on the sidewalk doesn't scream harlotry disgrace. All her clothes you flung around the room can be cinched up in the provided drawstring backpack, which also includes hypo-allergenic wipes for her face and “down there”, and a pre-pasted toothbrush -- if you were well-adjusted enough to be comfortable sharing a toothbrush, you wouldn't be kicking her out in the first place.

To enhance your chivalric cred, a portion of each Kit's proceeds are donated to a breast cancer foundation, and as a postscript to your one-night-story, the kit also contains a Call/Don't Call card, which, depending upon the side left upturned on your nightstand, will make very apparent whether or not your next date means McNuggets. I'm so done lol, I have missed another opportunity & this dude has took my idea.
To be a real gentleman, order a bunch of kits at WalkOfShameKit.com

Rowdy Collection


Rowdy Collection

Available at: The Rowdy Store 784-B North Highland Ave. NE., Atlanta, GA 30306 404.853.3274

From ATL's Dallas Austin (produced Madonna, TLC, Kim From Real Housewives Atlanta =) and Boys II Men), Rowdy's new stuff covers a fuller range of wardrobe needs, maintaining the brand's militant-punk spirit but dialing back its former motley-colored stridence. New torso-wear includes the short-sleeved, surprisingly nightlife-friendly Military Shirt (dusky black, w/ embroidered starred chest pockets), the polar brigade-style Shirt Jacket (white, w/ gold zip, pocketed sleeves, and riotous b&w collage lining), and tees like the black & platinum, ransom note-styled "War, Peace, Rowdy", "Rowdy in the U.S.A." (winged logo, lightning bolts as US flag stripes), and "War Is(nt) Over", with the "nt" spray-painted on, just as it is on Dennis Kucinich's garage door. There's also modestly edgy bottom-wear: the Canvas Jean denim, with leather backside lightning bolts and gold bolt chain accessory; Scottish Plaid Shorts w/ leather star patches on back pockets; and the Boxing Canvas Bathing Suit (white, with thick black outline and black bolt on right leg bottom) -- styled as boxing trunks, much better than your Julio Speedo Chavez getup.

12 Years ago 2day


I wasn't going to blog about The Late Notorious BIG because, for 1 I already posted a comment on the THEflyGIRL's site paying respect and every blog, hip-hop site, social network & underground following will make sure to let it be known that on this day March 9, 1997 Biggie was gunned down by an "Unknown Assailant".

I had a change of mind, as I was ending my night on twitter Diddy aka Sean Combs aka P Twitty updated this:

iamdiddy
Icon_lock Couldn't sleep I'm driving down sunset blasting Life after Death! Feels sureal This is my 1st year in la on march 9th since 97 Miss u ...

Despite the spelling of surreal being incorrect, despite that may be one of P Twitty's assistants updating his twitter; I had a brief moment of sadness come over me as I re-read his twit. I live by the Peterson & I pass it daily cruising or walking down Wilshire. I have had those moments mashing the streets of L.A. with the sun roof open & 94.7 The Wave was playing a smooth ballad and my memories along with my emotions came front in center. So I am leaving you with my most memorable BIGGIE lyrics that made me smh & say, "Did he really just say that!"

"Pardon my french, but sometimes I get kinda PEEVED at THESE weak MC's!!"

'lyrically I'm supposed to represent, I'm not only the client, I'm the player president"

"Your reign on the top was short like leprechauns, As I crush so-called willies, thugs, and rapper-dons"

'I had the master plan, I'm in the caravan on my way to Maryland, With my man Tutex to take over this projects, They call him Tutex, he tote two techs, And when he starts to bust, He likes to ask who's next?"

"So don't you get suspicious, I'm Big Dangerous you're just a Lil Vicious"

"I spit phrases that'll thrill you, You're nobody 'til somebody kills you"




Back to reality, he was killed...he was somebody, he was a son, a husband & a father of 2...The people who are behind the murders of Biggie & Pac changed history, messed up families & ruined Hip-Hop...your wack.

Damani

Every time I watch "Damani TV" or listen to the songs via the lap top in front of people during my cross country travels, some one is in my ear, "Who's that?", My answer is always, "You better get familiar"!

6 words: No Record And A Sneaker Deal!
Umm yeah, No Vinyl in the crates, CD's on the shel
ves or Posters at Best Buy, Target, Wallmart, Sam Goody (are even around still?) but Damani has a SHOE, Adidas at that, come on people step your grinding game up...I too will soon have my own Stiletto that turns into a comfy ballerina shoe at 2am!

West Coast Rapper Damani (Former member of Western Union with Bad Lucc & Soopafly) hails from Ing
lewood,CA has done what many of you wish you could do and you have the deal hahaha he released his limited edition Adidas EQT named Congratulations Player, which is also the name of his new Mixtape and his upcoming album.

Damani was met with fans, supporters, give or take a few groupies on hand at Millennium Shoes in Inglewood on Feb. 21, 2009 while I was in New York supporting my loved one ;)

Damani could have waited so that The Touring Empress herself (ME) could have been there but celebrations happen when they happen so
"CONGRATULATIONS PLAYER", some of CALI's finest were in the building showing their support for Damani. Glasses Malone (G-Malone), UNI, Bishop Don Magic Juan (dude Sit you butt Down!) to name a few.

For the people that came out their pockets and purchased the Adidas I was told they received his latest Mixtape and a special limited edition "Congratulations Player" T-Shirt created by UNDRCRWN (Under Crown)!

Damani plays Basketball for fun & has a few skills :) He can't see me EVER but Bro. has a cool shot so you may see him on the court with a few of his NBA friends like Tyron Lue & my old neighbor Chauncey Billups. So I will keep you posted if I come across them wearing his shoe.

Damani's ADIDAS Video:


You can find Damani ona few of his social Networks:

As well as Damani TV on youtube!

No Room Service Just Snack and S***

I just found this site "No Room Service Just Snacks and S***" off of twitter today and it is so funny!

Here's a teaser of what you will find:


#82












"Yeah livin' the raw deal, three course meals. Spaghetti, fettuccine, and veal."


- Diddy, It's All About the Benjamins

If you get spaghetti as an appetizer before fettuccine, you're an a**hole.

Filed under: So many carbs.

#82









"Magazines call me a 'rock star'. Girls call me 'c*** star'."
- Kanye West, The Bounce by Jay-Z

Rock star = A good thing.
**ck Star = The ***est thing.

Yeah, because basically that means that you're the star of ***k.



Check it out and let me know what you think!
