The Linkdown.

1. After her tap dancing lesson in baby powder (cocaine)- Lohan tweet battles George Lopez, and I die of pure and utter triviality.

2. That "Black One"...who talks real fast. Ohhh, that one.

3. Ad Obituaries. The Creative.

4. I just finished telling my mom about my devious plan to fill out my census (non negro style), and then I ear that in 2020...there will be swatches. Ding.

5. Vogue endorses a little Chocolate Swirl action within it's covers.

6. The fabulous Johnny Wier outs the Olympic champion with a simple wink. Damn, that's f*cked up. Red Ice! Red Ice! Red Ice (with glitter)!

7. The Godfather of hip-hop is white.

8. Albino Strawberrys that taste like pineapple? Sure, why not?

9. NJ Senator vs Saggy Pants. "Raise your pants...raise your image."

10. I still cant believe Ricky Martin is gay. I mean...look at all these straight photos of him. I makes my logic go-upside, inside out.

Highschool Kids have so much energy.

"The senior powder puff cheerleaders from Carroll High School 2009-2010 perform their dance routine for the entire school."

You know....a school with a teen male cheer leading squad that large, is one thing I could talk about. Or I could talk about how I wouldve had a heart attack half way though the routine. But instead, I wanted to bring to light a hypothesis I am working on... about the Caucasian race, and their affinity for black eyed peas music. An undying love I tell you...

Live Young with EVian Water.

Evian got an idea. They probably thought "Water revives people. Revive means make new again. Water makes people new...like a baby." So they made a f*ckin baby t-shirt. And put their logo on it. Whala!

But when I first saw it...all I could think was, "That dudes' fro is awesome. And is that Jacob from Twighlight." So....yeah. There you go.

Hot Chicks: Sharon Leal.

It's been awhile since we had a Hot Chick edition. This week we are spot lighting Sharon Leal. What. A. Cutie. I first covered Sharon in the movie This Christmas with Chris Brown. She was a sister of a sister or something. She also had a 5 minute role in Dream Girls. But I rediscovered her....ahem, watching Why Did I Get Married by Tyler Perry. Let's put that fact aside (don't judge my willingness to subject myself to bad film) and get back to Sharon. In the words of every single man I have ever known..."SHE CAN GET IT".

She just needs to get her career on and poppin. And prove that she can really act. Cause I didn't know her name until I goggle the ish out of her. Not Bing. Goggle. Hot. Definitely HSBC wifey material.

A Leveled Party.

"Berlin-based artist Hans Hemmert (famous for his work with balloons) threw a party where guests wore shoe-extenders to make them all the same height of 2 meters....Hiis (completely underpublished) project, entitled "Level," is from 1997, produced for the Personal Absurdities show at the Galerie Gebauer Berlin. Finding it now, in 2010, I can't help but read it as a design event, getting directly at the basic qualities that shape our interactions with others—what does it mean when we all share one height?"- Core 77

Very fun. And interesting project. I mean, I get a little antsy when people stand next to me on the subway that are taller than me ...so this is probably not the party for me- everyone being the same height and all. But it's an interesting social experiment. I wonder is short people acted more confidently, and vis versa. Or if it was just an awkward ordeal all together? And how many glasses of wine did it take for the midget at the party to finally bust his ass? Hmmmm.

Along with the rest of the supernatural demons from our chold hood (sans the Scream dude-cause he was just a person in a mask). I'm guessing these were made in Dubai. They are doing the heavy lifting visual to reinforce the "Open Late," is I guess is good...if it was 1993. Which it very well still be in Dubai.

The Most Badass Alphabet Ever

“The A-Z of Awesomeness,” a series of illustrations by Neill Cameron, where he takes each letter of the alphabet, crafts an absurd sentence around it, then brings it to life with an excellent drawing that dabbles in mutliple cultur points at once. Truly cool.

Corduroy Kicks.

Levi's and a company called Opening Ceremony have collaborated to create a collection called Corduroy Everything....

And while I can't think of anything positive to say about the corduroy suit, there is something impeccably clean about these "desert boots." They only come in Navy and Teal (barf to teal). Let me know if I am loosing my mind. I have been working a bit hard lately, but I like these. Is it too much to match the boot to a pant?

Window Seat. Eyrkah Badu,

"The sister is shedding her superficial layers. Exposing herself to the world. Facilitating her own evolution. She is assassinated at the end only to raise again in her EVOLVED STATE.
"This is also a reference to the John F. Kennedy assassination.

Erykah falls at the same spot, where JFK was shot, except it's on the sidewalk.

When the camera turns after she's down, you can see the the "X' on the street. That "X" markes where Kennedy was shot in the car.

Reference also goes for the title "Window Seat", the video intro and the "Group think" speculations about the assassination."

2. I knew Miss Piggy was slutty.

3. A flowchart to whether you should cook after a night of drinking (I definitely almost burnt the house down one night trying to make spaghetti)...so I already personally know my answer.

5. Meg, from Family guy...in real life. Sad.

6. Kim, from Real House Wives of Atlanta is a lesbian. Yawn.

Oh Please....do tell.

".... a British "tampon alternative" brand called the Mooncup is collecting women's pet names for that part of the anatomy—giving American companies a trove of euphemisms to use. Check out the hundreds of submitted names at LoveYourVagina.com. "

Go deep (into information about Mooncup) here. Apparently it's suppose to be a replacement to tampons. My life long quest of finding out everything there is to know about tampon use, yet not physically seeing or experiencing it....has no answers here. I did not know there was an alternative-not that I should. But it's cute how they are blindly hiding the not too exciting/appealing facts about the female menstrual cycle with a cute name contest. Just when you thought Nuvo Ring was the only option in the world thanks to their media buying tactics.....the Brits hit us with a Vagina game. Chip chip cherrio.!!!

Movie Memory Lane.

So I just discovered this movie still website. Allegedly the owner has taken stills/screen shots of every movie she has ever seen and posted it. Talk about nastalgia. And despite how cool and incredibly times taking the site has to be...this is all she has to say for herself.

"I've seen a lot of movies over the years, and to prove I've sat through at least the first ten minutes of them I started making screenshots of the titles. Then my computer crashed and I almost lost them all. To save them for future generations I created this little website."

You really cant get any more throwback than this. Your grandma could appreciate this site.
