You Can't Tell Me Blondes Don't Have More Fun

Prime examples: 
Christian Milian 
Now I know that Ms. Milian has been getting alot of flack, even from R&b artist Usher, over her new blonde hair, but I must say that I am feeling it. Yea maybe the sunglasses with the red lipstick is a bit too much, but the overall look I like. 

Amber Rose
Amber Rose, the new arm candy of Kanye West, is taking blonde to a whole other level. Who ever would've thought bald could look so good? I definitely didn't (hence #4 of my last post.) She's giving me so much right now. I love a chick with a mean sense of style. I hope she's a keeper, at least for a little while.

25 things about me.


1. If I could start my life over i would start the day after high school graduation.

2. Songs remind me of different moments in my life and smells. The album Graduation by Kanye West will always reminds me of New York freshman year and I feel that 808's and Heartbreak will remind me of now. 

3. I am the 3rd Malcolm in my family. We all have nicknames. My family calls my grandfather Peter, my Dad Pedoe, and they call me Trey. When I have a child, he won't be the fourth. I think that just excessive. 

4. When I was little, I thought that people who wore hats all the time would eventually go bald. Now I wear a hat almost everyday and I'm afraid of going bald.

5. Some of my greatest childhood memories were spent with my grandmother. She's the best.

6. The two best smells in the world is the cologne L'Homme by Yves Saint Laurent and a freshly vaccumed room. 

7. My childhood dream was to be a singer. I used to belt out "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston. My grandpa even has it on video, I get really embarrassed when I see it.

8. My mom told me I have a magnetic personality and I never really believed her until recently.

9. If I could have any sort of power, I would want to "orb," like white-lighters from Charmed.

10. My favorite color is forest green.

11. I have two tattoos. I got my second one on my birthday February 5th this year and I got my first one on my birthday last year. I think that might be my tradition. I want alot more, oneday I'm going to get a whole sleeve.

12. If I could go back to any era, it might either be the 20's during the Harlem Renaissance or the 70's.

13. I am a really opinionated person and is always down from a mature civilized debate about something, especially while under the influence. lol

14. Being raised an only child has made grow up alot faster. Through it I have become a more independent person and feel comfortable with being alone. 

15. Real love is something that I always hope to have oneday, but is something that I believe I will never get.

16. I only wear argyle socks. 

17. I have an eccentric taste in music, clothes, and people. The weirder the better.

18. One of my greatest flaws in my procrastination. One of my greatest attributes is my imagination.

19. Money makes the world go round, but I wish it didn't. I am a materialistic person, yet I hate the idea of money. If that makes any sense.

20. There are things that I want to do, ways I want to dress, things I want to say, lives I want to live, but I don't because I am afraid of what others might think. That's all going to change soon.

21. I dress my friends.

22. Most of the time I barely understand myself, so I don't really expect you to either.

23. I have four grandmothers. I'm loved!

24. I want to name my sons Hunter and August. If I have a girl, she will more than likely have a boy name too; something like Noah. I like when girls have boy names.

25. I consider myself to be a bohemian.

There was no YSL they coud sell...

Kanye West might just be the coolest person ever.
I haven't been much a fan of the mullet, but I must admit at his Vh1 Storytellers performance its starting to grow on me. He did a great job on the entire show, I loved it. His outfit was on point...and the stage was just amazing. It kind of reminds me of Justin Timberlake's "Rock Your Body" music video.
Anyways see for yourself here's a clip from the show, one of my favorite songs from the 808's album "Robocop."

Hey guys! Did you miss me? Hope so, because I really miss you and the blog. I took a little hiatus after the New Year began to get some personal wheels rolling again. I am finally back in NY for school and its a great feeling. I've been hitting the books like crazy these days, I'm aiming high this time. There is no more room for error. So now that I am back, I have alot of topics to write about. New York is very inspiring.

But soft...

I just finished watching William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, with Leonardo DiCarpio and Claire Daine. If you have not seen the movie, it is the story of Romeo and Juliet in modern Venice Beach, yet in the same dialect of the original play. Love that movie, the colors are so vivid and the director's interpretation of such a classic iconic play is very refreshing. Not to mention the soundtrack.

One song I like in particular is "Everybody's Free" by Quindon Tarver. That little boy can blow.

Love Her

Grapes anyone?

Theophilus London (great name by the way) is a up and coming underground rapper with a sound I haven't really heard before and his style is something to pay some attention to (check out his shoes in the video below). I came across his music by luck. He happens to be my facebook friend...I don't even though how that happened, but his videos are very entertaining. 

Cold Pillow is one of the tracks from his mixtape entitled This Charming Mixtape. I haven't heard too much of his material, but if its anything like this song I predict a great future for him in the music industry. 

Click Here for free download of Cold Pillow
I heard it gets pretty hype at his concerts.

The Thin Line

I understand with clothing that there is a thin line between being fashion-forward and just doing too much. Most clothes on the runway don't translate very well or shouldn't be worn at all on the streets of real life, that I understand as well. 

 But this...
the tights with the shorts
I think I could pull off. 

Terry Richardson

I just love how you can always tell it's a Terry Richardson photo by just looking at it. 






Next purchase....a camera

Streetlights - 808s & Heartbreak


I'd say I messed up
Done things I shouldn't
At the time, maybe, it seemed like a good idea
But now I know it wasn't
Yea I'll take full responsibility for that
Because in all reality I wasn't thinking
Yet in my defense, sometimes it easier not to
The pain of my thoughts have me sinking
Especially considering how life's turned out

I'd say I messed up
Isn't that what you want to hear, right?
Said one or two many lies too much
Would've thought to just keep my mouth shut
But that doesn't do any good these days either
The truth does come out anyway
Well most of it does
And thats a good thing for you
I doubt you could handle all the truth

I'd say I messed up
Priorities screwed up, ambitions tainted, hope demolished
Tarnished brass once polished
I clearly see the problems
You've mapped them all out for me
But let's just say, I am a product of my raising
And not all of the fingers should be pointed at me
Yet I still try not to show resentment 
Despite of the fact it seeps through my pores

I'd say I messed up
I face the brutal consequences now
Honestly, I've seen it coming for a while
Been collecting bottles of water and canned foods
AA batteries, flash lights
Even nailed boards over the windows
I've prepared for the storm
Gotten pretty numb to the situation completely
I hear thats called a mental defense mechanism
Maybe so, but I've grown so tired of crying and fighting with myself
Tired of smiling when there's nothing to smile about
