i really don't like you...

Here's more looks from the Dimepiece x Cassie collaboration. I love Dimepiece and I will continue to buy their products from here to infinity, but Cassie annoys the shit out of me. I'm sorry, I couldn't hold my tongue any longer. She gets under my skin, and I have no idea why. It's something else other than her voice that just irks the shit out of me, something I can't quite put my finger on. Is it the hair? The new 'edgy' look right before the release of her album creating hype and hoping the hype will equal skyrocketing album sales (which reminds me of Rihanna's Good Girl Gone Bad transformation)? Is it because she's involved with Bad Boy and I equate that as the label artists go to, to die? Is it because in my gut I feel like she just tries so damn hard to be 'it'. Maybe it's a combination of all those things, but in the words of Mr. Unforgivable: "I don't like you!"

And another thing, is anyone other than myself noticing how women's street wear brands are taking to celebrity endorsed/designed lines? It's fascinating that the minute Teyana Taylor becomes the face of MOB for this season, it's on ALL the major black blogs, and the second Cassie collaborates with Dimepiece the label (or rather Cassie THEN the label) ends up on not all the black blogs, but The Cut AND People magazine does an exclusive interview with the artist (and I use that in it's lightest form). I've never seen these labels on anything more than street wear related fashion blogs and the occasional magazine editorial a la Missbehave (RIP). Do we equate these endorsements and collaborations as a way for the labels to get their name in the media or something else? I personally love things that have that "I'm anything but mainstream" edge. Street wear use to be anything but mainstream to me, and that's what gave it it's charm, but now it's getting to be over exposed. Come Fall, with the help of Teyana Taylor and Cassie everyone will be draped in MOB and Dimepiece. I.will.not...

PS. This may not go over well with some, but who gives a shit. People are so quick to jump on bandwagons and not develop their own feelings about a product or a person. I have an opinion. Please deal with that...

PPS. Cassie said she made her hair cut mainstream in the People magazine interview. I just want to open hand slap all the girls that went out and did this after Cassie to make her feel this way (*cough Lala cough*) We the people give a resounding: NOOOOOOOOOOO [Alice Dellal, Kelis, JDavey, and Kesh come slap this chick]..

Ok. I will be purchasing that sweat shirt, and Uncle Karl tee post haste...

joe jackson: a case in parental fail.

I didn't put a picture of Joe Jackson on this post even though it's mainly about the guy, for the sheer fact that his face scares me. Serioulsy...scary.

Joe Jackson is the biggest case of Parental Fail for a bunch of reasons. Not only did he use his children to get out of a bad situation (thanks Beyonce for the quote), and vicariously live through them because he wasn't successful as a musician himself, he's now attempting to pimp his grandchildren.

I thought his incessant fuckery would stop now that MJ has been laid to rest, but looking back on that thought, I can see where I went wrong. Plugging his record label, and being open to vaguly speak about his son's death was just the tip of the iceberg for this guy. He's now gone on to achieve the task of closely watching which of Michael's children will follow in their fathers footsteps...with him pushing them the entire way. Who will be the cash cow this time Joe? Only time will tell, right?

"I don't know — I keep watching Paris. She … wants to do something. And as far as I can see, well, they say Blanket, he can really dance," Joe said.

Once a leech, ALWAYS a leech.

nipple!

Hey look everyone, its Rihanna's nipple! This weekend Princess Glowstick, I mean, Rihanna, pulled a Lil Kim. As much as I love this girl, she never ceases to amaze me. A friend of mine pointed out that when Lil Kim pulled a pastie move at the Grammy Awards eons ago, everyone was shitty bricks for months, but Princess of all things 'trendy' does it, and I don't hear a peep. Hmmm... Is it because it's a different time and things are more acceptable? No, I think it's got something to do with the pedestal everyone places Rihanna on. Myself included (sometimes). People see her as a trend setter and a visionary of fashion, so when she pulls out her boob it's not a hood rat statement, its an emerging trend.

And now in the coming months I will count how many breasts I see and blame it on her.

madonna looks like a corpse.

This isnt' the first time I'm seeing the Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter collection advertisement, with Madonna looking like a corpse, it's just the first time I've decided to blog about it. Interestingly enough, with all the talk surrounding the over enhancement of photos in the fashion indusrty, this is a blatant stab at that argument. Madge looks like a child for one, and for two, the colors aren't appealing at all. If it wasn't for the LV label at the bottom, would anyone be slightly intriuged by this? Uhhh I'm not so sure....

no home training.

With life kicking me in the rear end, I haven't had much time or energy to blog like I should be. But there's nothing like a good WTF story to give me the motivation I need to put my fingers to the key board and place my two cents in the piggy bank called opinions. So here it goes...

Yesterday upon waking up late for work (again), I did my normal rounds on the bloggesphere and landed on a gem of epic proportions via The Young Black & Fabulous. The weirdest group of people EVER to be associated with one another decided to live it up and bring an animal along for the ride. While rappers Yung Joc and DMX, along with comedian Katt Williams hung out at Joc's St. Louis penthouse apartment, an argument broke out as to who would consume the last line of cocaine (EPIC SIDE EYE) the group was sharing. Katt Williams then decided to feed it to his German Shepard (blink, pause, side eye, blank stare, WTF!), and while all the shits and giggles went down, the dog decided to go ape shit and attack Yung Joc. Dude ended up having to get 72 stiches for the fuckery. And thats not even the worse part. The worse part is that this fool TWITTERED during the ENTIRE THING.

What the hell are people on...Like SERIOUSLY.

Have we really gotten to the point where we do stupid things for the sake of fun? Whoever thought it would be a good idea to give a DOG COCAINE needs to be bitch slapped ASAP. And if it was Katt Williams who made the decision, can we really trust that dude's judgment. Wasn't he the one that talked all that shit and got bitch slapped in the back of a club? Come on now....

well at least she got a relaxer.

The Met Costume Gala is one of my favorite ways to star gaze. You get your favorite beautiful celebrities, your favorite beautiful designers, sprinkle it with some fuckery, and VIOLA! Masterpiece in the making.

Princess of all things awesome, Rihanna decided to use this time to let us all know that nappy mop hair she's been sporting lately did NOT get the best of her, by stepping out in this beautiful tuxedo. I'm having mixed feelings about this, but at least she got that good ol' relaxer right?

Remember kids: Fashion is what you can get away with...the bolder the better.

updates & shizzz.

Hey Everyone & their perspective mama's!

Yea so I haven't been blogging as much as I use to due to 2 things. 1) I've had school work so far up my ass I can't see, think, much less blog straight, so I've been taking care of that first so I can graduate and get on with my life or at least what I think my life should be. And 2) Aside from school work and the occasional fuckery filled evening, I've had my hands in a yummy new project with some really fun people. I'm not going to delve into what exactly the project is, but just know that I'm super duper psyched about it. Some of the people I'm bringing on board are fellow bloggers Rio, Kayta, Rachel, Drew, and my homegirl Katya. I can't tell you how excited I am to start making magic with these magical people. Words can't even describe how I'm sure we'll be shitting on this blogging industry SOON.

Ok. Love you all that read my daily ranting. I'm going to try my damndest to get my mojo back and get this shizz popping again. Back to your regularly scheduled fuckery.

Love, Shits, and Giggles...
Deeeeeee Moneyyyyyy

never lose google hits. just your panties.

Lindsay Lohan has been in the spotlight for a long time now. And although she's made a bunch of movies (uhh..ok) it's been her personal life that has kept her a star. I had a post awhile ago that posed the question of what this chick actually does for a living anymore (besides creating leggings), and I guess now that she's not with Sam Ronson this is it. She's resorted to making Funny or Die Videos...

O Lilo...

way to stick to em'

Rihanna got a new tattoo ya'll!

I'm a huge fan of RiRi's tattoo game, I've got a bunch myself, but this just seems a bit...eh...over the top maybe? Rihanna we all know you're bad ass and all, but dang, a gun?! I hate guns, with a passion...once my friend told me she wanted me to go to a shooting range with her and I damn near stopped being her friend. My distain for firearms is right up there with my loathing of liars...

So do we love it?!

Fergie was at a Nordstrom department store this weekend promoting her new shoe collection (insert blank stare). Not sure what type of Fergalicious creations the line holds, but something in my soul tells me I'll be less than impressed. What I am impressed with is her hair color. It looks really nice on her. Good Job!

the peter parker moment.

So yea..Kid Cudi isn't retiring. According to the video below he says that his personal life was fucked up but he was killin it as Kid Cudi. Compared his experience to Spiderman when Peter Parker wanted to quit being the man when his personal life was messed up. Or something like that. Check the video.

I love Kid Cudi, I can't wait to get to opportunity to watch him perform live someday, but these little temper tantrums some of these new artists have...one day your in, the next out...is getting annoying. I hope we don't see another one of these temper tantrums. Like EVER...

relationship FAIL.

Mya and Gucci Mane were caught flirting and canoodling at some thing some where. This digusts me in so many different ways. The biggest reason I'm currently throwing up in my mouth from these pics is because Gucci Mane JUST got out of prison. Yes, PRISON. Mya, you are too good for this!

Spotted this over at Crunk & Disorderly. If you want a good laugh check out Fresh, she has me dying with laughter on the regular.

ew?

Does this gross anyone else out, or is it just me?
I love Gossip Girl, but dang. Does it gotta be all that?

a portrait of elegance.

I couldn't help myself...
Fierce Frankie gets me EVERY TIME!

this my friends, is some scary shit.

Michael Jackson (yes, the real one) had a press conference today to announce that he will be entertaining the world (specifically the LDN) with his last show. I wonder if he still has it? Sad. So terribly sad...
