Keith Haring

I don't know much about Keith Haring. How i got to become familiar with is kinda by chance. About a month ago i was talking to my girlfriend over the phone while she was watching a show for fashion week. She was trying to describe Kanye West new haircut to me "it's so cool, it looks like something Keith Haring would do." I was totally lost, so when I got home I did a little homework on the artist.

After seeing some of Haring's work as well as Kayne new haircut I knew this was slated to be something emerging for the season.

A couple weeks later I was walking through SOHO when i decided to stop in Uniglo. Uniglo always has some of the best graphic tees for the low, and when i walked in guess what i saw Keith Haring shirts. It felt like my destiny to own one.

A few days After my trip to Uniglo i went to work (Zara) where out of the corner of my eye i saw a hoody the looked very "Keith Haring." I instantly dropped everything i was doing and walked over to that section. Next paycheck is most likely going to a couple of these items.

Fall Fashions: Studs

Remember when studs were only cool for the Goth or Emo kids? well those days are long gone. this season studs are everywhere jacket, vest, shoe,bags, and even glasses.

I'm loving these Y-3 sneakers

A Nightmare on Elm Street... REMAKE!?!?!?

I'm sure by everyone now everyone has heard about the latest horror remake. This should come as no surprise after the remakes of "Friday the 13th", "Halloween", and countless other horror classics.

I must say that I am very excited to see how this movie turns out, even though it will be a real adjustment for me to watch a Freddy movie without freddy being played by Robert Englund. The new Freddy will be play by actor Jackie Earle Haley. i can accept this casting for two reasons:

1. Haley's portrayal of Rorschach in "Watchmen" was impeccable

2. Haley's portrayal of a registered sex offender in the movie "Little Chilrdren" had me sympathizing with him

All i can do is hope the Haley doesn't fall short for such a monumental role.

I also hope director Michael Bay doesn't Go over board with special effects and totally miss the brilliance and subtlety of the plot.

Paranormal Activity

I went to see this movie last night.

First off let me say this is definitely one of the best haunted house movies I have ever seen (and i have seen a lot of haunted house movies). The whole set up for the movies is genius and the marketing plan is even smarter. It took the director Oren Peli about a week to shoot the movie with just one camera. I'm sure this guy is making mucho dollares off of this movie that cost him nickels and dimes. The characters in this movie become easy to sympathize with as we see their relationship become strained due to the paranormal activity.

The actors are very believable through out the movie. At one point I had to question if this was a true story. The movie plays on our fear of not being in control. For the most part the movie is not an out right "scarefest." It more of the little things that happen that sends that chill down you spine and leave you saying wtf.

P.S. the male character micah is one funny guy

Designer Water: VOSS

Who knew one of our most precious resources could be so glamorous. Now i know we are all used to Poland Spring, Dasani, and Aguafina. Hell some of us even spring for Evian and Fiji but now its time to make way for VOSS. the bottles for this water are beautifully sleek and will have you wanting to be seen drinking it everywhere.

VOSS is water imported from Norway. let me just say Norway might have the best tasting water known to man. VOSS has to be the purest tasting water I've ever had. last but not least I'm loving the new bottles the have, the definitely fit better in your hand.

Media, Movies and My Faves!

OMG!! Has it been all this time??? I so miss you bloggers!!

Where do I start?? So much to say its been so long! Ok so lets touch base on a couple of things, Lil' Mama on the Tyra Show, latest in fashion and must see movies! 3, 2, 1... Action

Ok so remember my last blog about the VMAs? Remember the deal with Lil' Mama walking onto stage while Jay-Z and Alicia Keys performed? Well I know all of us were wondering what the hell that was about. So this week on Tyra she did a small segment interviewing Lil' Mama about it. Do you know what this girl had nerve to say? She was just overcome with emotion and wanted to get up and share the moment with the two of them seeing that they were from NY and so was she. Really??? If that were the case Lady Gaga who was jammin' FROM HER SEAT as I spotted woulda got on the damn stage with her frekin' bird's nest on her head ( which I love) too, being that she's from Yonkers. I don't even know what the hell to say. So...movin on...

So can I just say that I have an obsession with two finger rings. Wait, before you screw up your face cuz your probably picturing the thick 80's pop locking b-boy looking ones. No, the ones I adore are simple and sexy. Lauren Conrad from "The Hills" has one that says her name but its so small and simple. A few years back, the love of my life Rihanna had one on while visiting 106 & Park that looked crazy retro. I LOVE IT!! and in the latest video where she's headed for war with Jay and Kanye, she has a spiked one that was more on the verge of a four finger ring than a two! Still LOVE IT!

And zippers seem to be the new "in" for the fall. I dig! I think thats so abstract. Kinda reminds me back in the day when Lil' Kim wore a zipper in her weave to the VMAs!! She was like 20 steps of the fashion world with that one! I think its so sexy to have on a simple black dress with a silver zipper goin down the back or front. Attention to detail ladies and gents, attention to detail.

Lets run on down the movie lane shall we? "Couples Retreat", "Good Hair" and of course "Toy Story 3" are definate must see's in the comedy genre. "Jenifer's Body" and "Sorority Row" are what happenin in horror. And if you haven't seen Tyler Perry's "I Can Do Bad All By Myself" you better get on that.

Just horsed down a slice a pizza from the best places ever..not Dominos, Papa Johns or Pizza Hut, but that hole-in-the-wall pizza shop round your way. Uh huh you know what I'm talking about! Definately food of the day.

Well anywho, Im gonna try my hardest NOT to stay away from you guys for so long again. I'm chillin on the chit chat until next time, in the NEAR future!

Viva la Vida,

JoJo
