Fall Fashions; What Time it is?

Bonjour and Welcome back bloggies,

My fellow bloggin bff and I would like to talk to you for a bit on some of the hot new trends on the wrist wear for the season. Ok so...let's talk watches..oui??

R u shocked??? Well how bout G-Shocked?? Of course everybody knows about G-Shocks, all the hype beasts are wearing them. (Fyi...Hype Beast= person who wears skater gear but isn't and actual skater!) Its a modern and funky twist on the watch that you wore in the 5th grade with the humongous calculator on it minus the ability to calculate! Me personally I like the white ones. You can rock em with anything and make a statement. And I like funky and classy, so either neons and pastels or bold and diamond encrusted.

Do you like toys?? No freaks not those kinds a toys...toy watches!! LOL All the celebs are rockin these from Ms. First Lady herself...Michelle Obama to the groovin Ellen DeGeneres and the runway walkin, Ms. Naomi Campbell. From jellies to plasteramics and customization...they've got it all. I'm dreamin of gettin a blue jelly band with a yellow face. What do you think? Do it??? Im diggin' the crimson red jelly band with a blinged out face. Si o no? I say Si!

Go for the Gold!! OMG!! I LOVE GOLD WATCHES. This new trend seems to be takin the city by storm. Big faces and thick bands are the way to rock your gold. From Nooka to Michael Kors watches...everybody's doing it up. What better way to get dressed up than with a gold watch? Definitely brings the outfit to another level. These gold watches aren't your typical grandfather watches either! My personal favorite is the Zirc WT Nooka watch. Can you say poppin'? Well nevamind cuz I can wear it! Moi?? I ADORE the Michael Kors Mid-Sized Gold Chronograph watch. I LOVE IT!

Well it was nice meeting ya'll on the edge but its about that TIME for us to roll out (Ludacris voice) LMAO! Remember to live life on the edge... just make sure you don't fall off!

Peace be with you & Viva La Vida,

Lock & JoJo

VMA's Shall We??

Wassup blogs and blogettes,

Ok so need I even think about the topic for today? I think not....the VMA's all the way!! Ready, set, go...

'Sigh' where do I begin...I guess at the start of the show...so Janet Jackson and all those dancers tribute to the late great MJ...LOVED IT!!! Ga head Janet still got the moves! Definitely did her brother proud and if I'm not just buggin, I think that's the loudest I'd ever heard her sing.

OK, Mr. Frekin' Kanye West...idk what to say about this dude right now. Really Kanye??? Boy I tell you, black people get in the spotlight one time and now we (yes I'm black 2!) gotta be the voice of everything. We all know Beyonce's video was bad (bad as in good) and I'm sure plenty of us would've liked to see her win but that whole scene on taking away shine from poor little Taylor Swift was not even necessary. S#!% like that don't make no kinda sense. Next time they need to put his a$$ in the back somewhere to sit.

Now, 2 words LADY GAGA...so since "Just dance" I've been in LOVE with this girls everything! She's got some great performance vocals and still gets her choreo (choreography) in. Her performance by the way was amazing. I loved the ending when she started bleeding out of nowhere and hangs herself with a bloody eye! Now can we talk about these outfits (idk if we should even call them that but...). I LOVE that she rocks face gear (She had a chromed plate thing on her cheek in poker face and a lightening bolt in just dance and last night she sported a half mask face plate!) Even her red outfit she rocked after her performance, although a lil crazy it sooo fit her! Wait hold up...can we talk about her speech?, or at least the ending...she dedicated her award to God and the gays!! I so did not know that she was bisexual! J'adore!! (Eminem, who was previously known for his deal with homophobia's face was priceless!) Lastly can I just say that I adore this girls make-up. she the cutest little thing ever! Ga head Lady Gaga!

Ms. BK herself Beyonce...couple of things on her. I loved her performance and her seemed to be tribute to the Janet Jackson and the Rhythm Nation thing with 5,000 people all synchronized doing a dance (Iswear if 5,000 people were doing the hokey-pokey, it'll look hot!) I ain't mad at her, very sexy look!! Also I love how she called out Taylor Swift when she accepted her award and allowed her to finish her rudely interrupted speech. Awww Beyonce! Also, very sexy and simple dress she wore. Beyonce, u betta work!

Pink, first off rolled up in a fire truck. She runs s#!%. She looked amazing from her hair to her dress (which I think she looked better in vs. Shakira, she sill my girl though!) and her performance was sick! Who knew she had all them tricks up her leotard? I admire the fact that she still sounds ridiculous (again ridiculous as in amazing) while hanging upside down. I love her voice and I love her edgy dare devil having a$$!

Quick quick quick, can I just point out Alicia Keys' shoes during her performance with Jay-Z? Mucho frekin' Caliente! And umm can anybody tell me what was Lil'Mama's purpose of going up on stage during that performance? This ain't America's Best Dance Crew..smh and someone needs to tell her them rhinestones on the back of the jeans is DEAD & GONE!

Whew I think I covered the highlights of the show...at least in my eyes.

Im starving!! How about you...we're going simple and healthy today with a apple cinnamon muffin with granola on top and a strawberry banana yogurt from Yoplait!

You know its about that time for me to chill on chat till next time...

Viva la Vida,

JoJo

Shoes Anyone??

Hola blogabons!!

Missed me? I know I miss you all as well. Ok so what shall we investigate today?? 'Gasp' How about shoes. We'll cover all basis from what the most comfortable shoe for a female to wear to a party to the sexy sling backs to the laid back sneaks. No worries fellas..we'll talk bout footwear 4 u 2!!! Shall we begin??? tres, dos, uno....

Ok ladies so I know you've went out to a party and gotten to the point where your dogs were WOOFING!! (You may have even gotten down with your shoes off...mmhm been there done that!) There is nothing cute about a sexy outfit and an even sexier female dancing with a drink in one hand and her shoes in the other...cut it out! I know, when you leave the house and first get to the club its cute for a bit but the pain the next day is rediculous rite!!

Ok, so I've come to the conclusion that if we're gonna go sexy with some heel, the best way to go is platform with a thick heel or wedge it out!! That way you get complete support on the entire foot. If were gonna go cute a sassy...go low with some flats and get brave show a lil toe action and make me peep toe.

Lets talk lady sneaks for a min yes? So I have a new found slight obsession with hightop classic adidas...I think there so comfy and cute. Definitely gives off this hip hop look. I LOVE IT!! Low top sneaks like tiger's a definate casual look the colors compliment a great subtle outfit. And lets not forget those Chuck Taylor's... Just bout a low cut pair in fuscia the other day. I LOVE EM TO DEATH!

Ok gentlemen...so, party shoes... just take it easy ok no pointed toe shoes with alligator skin, no high-top boot shoes with 12 million laces, straps and buckles...simple is always better! A nice pair of casual shoes/sneaks from Aldo or Zara or even the Lanvin's my fellow bloggin bff talked about in his post. (Btw, I adore the ones Mrs. Obama was rocking! Cah-ute!!) As far as it goes with athletic sneaks, I just love a man that can rock some Air Max 95's and Nike Shox...sexxxyy! Don't lemme catch none a ya'll with no damn white or black uptowns on cuz I will take em off your feet and burn em right in front your face!

Im starving, how bout you? Food of the day...cheeseburger with french fries and a cold malt!! Yea I'm back on my Americano!!

So, its about time for me to chill on the chat till next time...meet you back on the edge!!

Viva la Vida,

Whoop tHair it is!!

Thanks for tuning back into the edge peoples. Its been a cool couple of days since these fingers have clocked out on the chit chat. Well can't stay away for too long..time to talk. So today's topic I've decided is gonna be all about hair from the fashion fall outs to the sexy side sweeps we'll cover it all...shall we begin?

3, 2, 1...ok so first up lets go long and go to the Gossip Guru of them all Ms. Wendy Williams. So since her shows stared airing she's been all over the place with her honey highlighted lace front wiggy's (yes i said wiggy!). Ok fine shes had a few of them that have been on point with the flips and the curls and the stright and sassy. But hold up wait FREEZE!! Who the hell told her that the nasty looking frizz experiment on her head was the way to go for her commercial?? Wendy...forget "how you doin?", but "what you doin?" (gotta say it with the voice!) It did nothing for those crazy fab cheekbones of yours. Its all good though I still got mad love for you gurl.

Moving on to Ms Tyra Banks...the diva with the weava!! I love that Tyra can do a show while rockin a full head of weave or throw on a wiggy and a day later sport some cornrows going straight back and still look amazing!! Go head wit yo bad self!

Last of the ladies of course gotta go back to my love Ms. Fenty (Rihanna). So since she's chopped the long locks, shes been rocking some of the hottest haircuts and been the trend starter for many styles since. Her latest daring move where she shaves off the sides completely and leaves her little hawk thing?? ummm, at first I was like r right boo wat is goin on? Don't be turning into them crazy cracked out celebs. But then I seen her in the "Run This Town" video and she looked a lil disturbia-ed but it grew on me!! Ga head mama!

Let's move to some muchachos for a minute. Ok so we spoke very briefly about Trey Songz and his haircut a few blogs ago. I adore it because honey...when he had them braids he alwyas looked a mess. Coming on tv with some 4 ass plaits (yes i said plaits, that's the coconut in me!). Good look Trey. And Mario, sigh at first that was all I had when he show up on 106 & Park with a frekin bald head. I didn't know what that was about. Was he balding? Did someobody screw up his hairline or what?? But baabby...he showed up a few weeks later to perform with a little goatee grown in and gurrl that lil boy that was singing bout some girl that was just a friend eight years ago is ALL GROWN UP!!! Mucho Caliente!!!

This pic doesnt do much for him though!

Hungry?? I thought you'd be, food of the day is rice & peas, stew chicken, and macaroni pie with some collard greens and sweet plantain. str8 up coco status!

Oh...hope all had a safe and enjoyable labor day week-end. I kno I did, I wine till my waist nearly fall out!!!Can't wait till next year. Miami go mash up next month! Post Labor day bash 2nite @ Marcus Garvey Center in Bklyn to my Greenz people! Big Upz

Anywho my fellow blogsters...im chillin on the chattin sooo until we meet again...see you on the edge!

Viva la Vida,

The Last Airbender

So I don't know how many people follow Avatar: The Last Airbender but that was my favorite cartoon when it came on Nick. When it ended I was kinda sad. Then I found out they have a movie coming out, the last air bender. Not to be confused with Avatar, it has nothing to do with airbending



The Last Airbender is being directed by M.Night Shyamalan, you know the guy who directed The Sixth Sense




Well my question is what the basis for the story line of this movie? Is it gonna be like a summarized version of the cartoon or is it gonna take place where the cartoon left off? hmmmm...

My next thing is why is the casting so bad they are turning this into what the dragon ball z movie was. Does anyone remember that movie?... don’t worry I'll wait............. That’s what I thought.



Back to the matter at hand. Any idiot can look at Sokka and Katara and realize that they are not white. Clearly they are darker than all the other characters in the cartoon so why are white people playing them?

You know what I’m not mad though can't help but be excited for the this movie to drop, my inner geek is gonna come out so fast heads are gonna spin




Peace be with you,

Fall Fashions: Band/Military Jackets

As we all know the king of pop Michael Jackson passed away a couple months ago. Mr. jackson had a sense of style like no other... until now.



When you see the fall/winter collection for lines like Dolce & Gabbana, Zara , and Balmain you can see MJ's influence on the fashion world, but these jackets are not your high schools band jacket, or the countries military jackets. This fashion seasons band/military jackets are a mixture of motorcycle jackets, bombers, and fit like blazers. I'm loving this trend but I can't say that you'll catch me in one of these jackets.



Both Beyonce and Rihanna rocking band jackets from Balmain.

well that's all for today
peace be with you,

Fall Fashions: Waxed Denim

denim is an essential part of a wardrobe that can be dressed up and dressed down. who doesn't have that favorite pair of jeans that they wear every chance they get? you know what I'm talking bout the jeans that are worn at the foot with the wallet imprint on the pocket and faded into oblivion. well i say all this to say denim is very Americana, so who wouldn't be excited about waxed denim?



what i love about waxed denim is the look of it. its a very understated way to stand apart from the crowd. this is a perfect thing to add to my winter wardrobe. it best that i let you all know that waxed denim has very little stretch so your best bet would be to try them on before purchasing.




peace be with you,

Lanvin (lawn- vine)

working at Zara you get to see a lot of clothing that look very similar to high end designer brands. From my first day of my job i wondered where my store get their inspiration for the sneakers.



So the other day i was talking to the honey and she was telling me about this brand Lanvin, and how much Zara sneakers resembles them. so being the sole craver that i am of course i went searching for the sneakers, and guess what? celebs like to where Lanvin too.



Michelle Obama rocks Lanvin




Usher also rocks Lanvin





















peace be with you,

What Happened to Craig David???

i was listening to my ipod on shuffle today and a song came on that i never heard before, which happens all the time cuz i have 4,188 and i know i haven't listened to all of them. when the song came on i was like what the eff is this but yet i was still jamming (lol). when i realized it was a craig david song i immediately looked at my ipod to figure out what song it was. how many people know the craig david song "she's on fire"? (cuz i had it on my ipod and still didn't know it)

peace be with you,

Lets Talk Tatts

Hey Bloggers,

Welcome back to the edge! Ok so I have the craziest obssesion with tattoos lately. Lets talk ladie tatts. Shall we begin...3, 2, 1 ok so everyone know that Kat Von D is like the goddess of tattoos right!! Her portrait work on her body is ridiculous she's definitely one of my faves with her art work...not to mention she's a hottie!

Another fave of mines is Mrs. Jolie-Pitt, love how she can be so edgy yet so soft and suttle. I adore her longitude latitude tat on the left arm and talk about feisty with that tiger on her back...Rrrrarr!! Pink isn't to far behind with a bunch of edgy ones all over the place.

Victoria Beckham's tat going down the middle of her back...extra sexy have no clue what the heck it says though!

And of course I can't talk tatts without talking bout my Love Rihanna. From my count were at ten and counting. I love the idea of many mini tattoos all over the place.

Question, what is it with these random tattoos? Idk but Im feeling them. Ok we had the whole stars obsession and I never really got it but wateva..anywho, there's a new trend on barcode tattoos?? I love it! I mean I would never get one but i think the randomness is kool! I was in the city the other day and I seen a girl that had the word "apple." tattooed on the left side of her wrist. Mucho caliente!!

I'm sooo in the mood for a new tatt. Really wanna get a quote or something above my armpit on the underside of my arm (yea i know it sounds a bit weird, but the chick from that so called group Nina Sky has one there to give you a better idea!) I so loving that idea.

Can I also just share that think that sleeve tattoos are soooo sexy!!! OMG I LOVVE IT!! I don't think I'd get one cuz I cudn't pull it off!

Hungry yet? Food of the day...turkey & cheese with some lays chips and a banging pickle!!

Massive Movements

Once again welcome to the edge my fellow bloggers, shall we begin...

Well today was a pretty bland day in the normal tax payers world, however lets talk media, music and food for a minute, yes?

So Trey Songz album dropped yesterday and he's been doing a bunch of promoting in New York for it this week. Don't have much to say on the album (I dig the songs that are out right now though) but lets talk about his album cover and choice of wardrobe this past week. 3,2,1... OK, sooo can we say "sexy"? Seems like ol' boy's been getting his work out on. Love the choice on going black & white very GQ with the nakedness. Good look with the "fairly new" haircut. Unfortunately I can't say the same about his outfit on 106 & Park today (9/2/09). What is the deal with the extra tight vest? Bad enough you already skinny Trey lets try to stay away from close fitting threads. No love lost though!

Moving on, to all my fellow coconuts out there labor day is approaching and the reggae and soca vybez are definitely in the air. Trinidad & Tobago go mash up d parkway wit Ms. Faye-Ann Lyons and she two big bad tunes Heavy T Bumper & Meet Super Blue.
