.
Why can't they give Micheal the credit that is do to him? is so HARD to fathom? Yes he is a BLACK icon, YES he sold the most records EVER, and YES he was different/Irreplaceable;so be it if his skin was white or if his children are white. Big deal it's interviews like this that piss me off to no extremes. This is America..."The land where the FASCIST COWARDS RULE" yeah I said it. Kanye said it best "Racism still alive they just be concealing it". I don't understand why Elvis can be Iconic and Micheal Jackson can't? Pay close attention people Elvis stole most of his ish from black people ... well He was "Influenced" as they say. but I know why Elvis can be ICONIC and MJ can't.. This makes me so sick to my stomach. And This MAN is on CNN I wonder what else is on there?. TRASH is what the news is feeding the MEDIA. Don't fall victim.

Wow i remember growing up.. i use to have the single BIGGEST crush on this girl. Hahha i use to watch Save by Bell, and think man she is a Goddess haha. Kelly was definitely my young crush or should i say my young obsession ha. I use to dream of dating this chick... no really lmao!Oh the good ol' days=D. But Last year i had a girl in my U.S. history class that looked just like her lmao i was tripping out the whole semester. Now that I'm older and i can reflect on the crush i had on this girl, i see why i liked her so much. She has such a natural soft beauty to her. Now and days i feel like women battle to see who can wear the MOST make up (not flattering). What happen to the naturalness ladies? so BIG ups to Tiffani Thiessen for keeping it sexy in the late 80's early 90's!

(CNN) -- Entertainer Michael Jackson has died after being taken to a hospital on Thursday after suffering cardiac arrest, according to multiple reports including the Los Angeles Times and the Associated Press. CNN has not confirmed his death.Jackson, 50, had been in a coma at the hospital, sources told CNN.

Brian Oxman, a Jackson family attorney, said he was told by brother Randy Jackson that Michael Jackson collapsed at his home in west Los Angeles Thursday morning.
Family members were told of the situation and were either at the hospital or en route, Oxman said.
Fire Capt. Steve Ruda told CNN a 911 call came in from a west Los Angeles residence at 12:21 p.m.
Ruda said Jackson was treated and transferred to the UCLA Medical Center.
Asked specifics of the patient's condition, he said he could not discuss them because of federal privacy laws.
The music icon from Gary, Indiana, is known as the "King of Pop."
Jackson is the seventh of nine children in a well-known musical family.
At the medical center, every entrance to the emergency room was blocked by security guards. Even hospital staffers were not permitted to enter. A few people stood inside the waiting area, some of them crying.

First and 23!!

2009-05-20T14:40:00.001-07:00

This is my first post since I've been 23. My apologies once more for not blogging like i use to but my world has been a circus. Even at this very moment there's so much to be done. Anyways this weekend i went out to AZ for my sisters graduation and my b-day dinner(Sorry there's no pics i haven't received them yet). None the less i wanted to share what i wrote on my b-day on the plane ride to AZ!

Flying over the Pacific, Frequent thoughts of your face/and my mind begins to race and my thoughts began drifting/ memories of plastic toys for my birthday seem so far in the distance/What i wouldn't give to catch up and revisit/ what becomes of you when your stuck in a tunnel and the blur becomes your vision/ and in your mind your relive everything you ever witnessed/ and the good becomes the bad and the bad becomes the good/ so in return there are no specifics/ just painted painted images with complex depictions/ no focal point to choose/ just odd shapes and very deep hues.

23!

2009-05-15T02:58:00.000-07:00

Today i'm 23...here are 23 fascinating facts about the number 23!

1. 23 is one of the most commonly cited prime numbers - a number that can only be divided by itself and one. Twenty three is the lowest prime that consists of consecutive digits

2. 23 is the number that was worn by one of the greatest athlethes to ever step foot on the basketball court(Mj).

3.The Bible does not let 23 pass without conferring upon it some significance, at least to students of the Book. Although the Old Testament is unspecific, it is widely held that Adam and Eve had 23 daughters. The 23rd verse of the first chapter of Genesis brings the act of creation to a close while the 23rd chapter of the book of Genesis deals entirely with death, namely that of Abraham's wife, Sarah. The most famous and most quoted of the Psalms is number 23: "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters."

4.The most detailed account of the assassination of Julius Caesar, written by Nicolaus of Damascus, claims numerous enemies stabbed the Roman emperor 23 times. The wounds ranged from superficial to mortal.

5.Each parent contributes 23 chromosomes to the start of human life. The nuclei of cells in human bodies have 46 chromosomes made out of 23 pairs. Egg and sperm cells in humans have 23 chromosomes which fuse and divide to create an embryo.

6.In the science fantasy saga, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Chewbacca sneak into detention block AA23 to rescue Princess Leia. The rescue attempt is botched and Leia escapes only by dodging Stormtroopers' laserfire. A police robot called 23 is included in Star Wars director George Lucas' first film, THX 1138.

7.The Birthday Paradox states that a group of 23 randomly-selected people is the smallest number where there will be a probability higher than 50 per cent that two people will share the same birthday.

8.The author William Burroughs was obsessed with 23. While living in Tangiers, he met a Captain Clark who ran a ferry between Spain and Morocco. One day, Clark told Burroughs that he had been doing the route for 23 years without incident. Later that day, the ferry sank, killing the captain. While Burroughs was thinking about the incident, a radio bulletin announced the crash of a Flight 23 on the New York-Miami route. The pilot was another Captain Clark. The events prompted an obsession which saw Burroughs record every occurrence of the number 23 for the rest of his life.

9.2/3 of the angels decided to stick it out in Heaven with God after Lucifer and the others fell.

“Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.”

I'm sure people think I'm crazy...People think alot things about me. It is what is though. I hope this picture can inspire some women out there to take more risk.(Bottom) Gareth Pugh in an Amazing jacket. I'm not sure what kind of jacket it is I've seen it before though it's either Dior or Gareth Pugh. I love it when designers take the time to get dress, because so many of them just think it's fine to wear a T-shirt and a Pair of jeans.

Kris Van Assche 2009 Fall/Winter Ad Campaign!!

2009-04-09T01:18:00.000-07:00

With the upcoming Kris Van Assche 2009 Fall/Winter offerings waiting in the wings, get a look at the new ad campaign. As usual, the photography take on a classic theme mimicking the a distinct sophistication which has become synonymous with Kris Van Assche. The campaign features an appearance by Francisco Lachowski as well as Gaetano Gaiso. In my opinion KVA is one of the most innovative designers that has ever blessed fashion. He is best known for his work with DIOR Homme. I remember a couple months ago, there was a huge frenzy in fashion; Because people were saying that Gareth Pugh was going to replace him at Dior. But in the end it really doesn't matter...A great designer is going to be a great designer wheather or not he or she works for a major fashion house.

Thanks.

Wowzers Alexander Wang is such an inspiration for me. This 24 year old designer moved from San Francisco to new york when he was just 18 years old. He attended Parson's for a year than

dropped out.Now he's one of the most talk about designers in the industry. Alexander Wang began with the prodigy’s one simple belief: “I’m in New York City - I can do anything I put my heart to."How brilliant is that line?

“When I moved here from San Francisco” Wang relates, “Parsons was a stepping stone, but I really believe that it's up to the individual. Before I even started school, I decided I was going to get an internship with Marc Jacobs. So I went and I got it! Then I thought, let me see what else this industry has to offer.”-Alexander Wang

Venting....

2009-03-27T23:48:00.001-07:00

I ask myself time and time again, what do my dreams mean to me? My dreams mean that anything is possible and nothing is in vein. I'm one of the few people in this world, that really wants to give our generation something to look back on. I've been honored enough to meet someone else who is passionate about something huge and I pray often for her success.I've Cried,Prayed, and felt so much Pain in the past few years just to make it to this point in my journey; and through the turmoil I've become more of an artist.But the worst thing about Artists is we're often misunderstood.I guess my complexity is what separates me from the average "human". At the end of the day my attentions are good...but I'm sorry if you perceive them as vindictive.I hope i find bliss in success, my mother always called me "Sonny Boy" and what's brighter on this earth then "The Son"...or should i say her Son.

Derrick Watkins aka Mr.Bentley is a gentle man for gentle men. Words can't express how much I admire this man. He has such a southern charm to his demeanor, and its enticing. He has really raised the bar on how a man should present himself, and also act in general. Besides who's fresher than him? Lolz besides the obvious.But I really think it's great, how Black people are starting to really over come the perceptions of what media depicts us as.

The Originator of a Style.

WANNA BE#1
WANNA BE#2

I'm having issues, coping with how UNORIGINAL people are now and days. It's so disgusting. This is a topic that needs to be addressed. If i don't speak out who will? Lady's and Gentlemen it's Okay to be inspired by an individual. However, it's not okay to knock off that individuals whole Attire/Vibe. I feel like people are so terrified to be themselves, they try to be everything but. You "BITTERS" are killing our generations spot in history; So with that being said "Come with your Imagination...or you'll arrive late"!

Hey Lady's!

TAz Tisa complex Interview!

2009-03-19T17:18:00.000-07:00

Complex: What did you want to communicate with this video?

Taz: The objective is to show the aesthetic of the new movement that’s building. I kinda look at everything that’s happening right now in this whole movement of music and fashion, and it’s like TI$A is spearheading that movement. Mixing the brands up and really showing cats how to like be into the arts, and understand the science of art.

Complex: Who is TI$A? That’s the name of your crew?

Taz: Tisa, in Swahili, means “ninth born.” And “tesa” in Arabic, means “nine.” And in numerology, 9 means completion. Eight is infinity when you turn it on the side, and then 9 is 0 and 1 together, and it means completion in numerology. So TI$a would be a complete vision. TI$A Vision. And it also stands for Taz Is So Arnold. I’m so me! But the collective is called TI$A, and it stands for completion.

Complex: What were you like as a kid? How did you dress?

Taz: As a kid? I’ll say this. In 1986, I was in a prep gang on 108th street in Crenshaw called “The Nerdz Gang,” like the candies. It was a spin-off of being a nerd, but these were like criminal cats riding surfboards, skateboards—all black, mind you—and selling a little weed and shoplifting surf clothes. And that was the first gang that I ever wanted to be in, and like I was in the 6th grade…I grew up at the beach. Watts is like 10 minutes from the beach—people don’t know that. I lived like west of Watts, like Imperial and Crenshaw—that’s literally 10 minutes from the beach on the street. I used to boogie board, go snorkeling in the ocean. My dad was a scuba diver; my mom ran on the beach everyday, like 4 miles to the marine and back and she would take me. That was a part of my growing up too, not just the hood. I’m from the hood, but muthafuckas in the hood go to the beach too…it doesn’t cost anything—it’s free! [Laughs.]

Complex: [Laughs] That’s true.

Taz: So that was my culture too. Sea culture, and urban shit. Hippie culture and ghetto shit. That’s what I was like as I kid. I was a dude trying to rock the best. I was mixing all the surfboard brands in ’86 when I was in the Nerdz. I was getting custom-made suede Vans made with the Off The Wall checker board on the bottom with the brass hoops, different colored suedes…whatever, cause you could get custom Vans then.

Complex: So how did you go from being into the surf and skate brands to getting more into fashion?

Taz: GUESS was real big in elementary school for me. GUESS cost like 80 bucks for a pair of jeans. Kids in my elementary school were wearing GUESS with a $300 leather bomber jacket, with brand new adidas on with fat laces. A lot of these kids, their older brothers and parents might have had money, or a lot of them that I knew, their siblings was selling drugs, or an uncle was selling dope, ’cause that was going on. My parents sold drugs when I was a kid. My mother grew weed at my house in the backyard and sold the weed to her musician friends.

Complex: Did they let you smoke weed when you were a kid?

Taz: I never wanted to; I could have. But I’ll put it like this: when my mother was pregnant with me, she took LSD. My mother was a nurse, so I was an experiment for my mom. I was her only kid.

Complex: Would you say your parents were hippies?

Taz: Yeah, they were hippies…it was crazy at my house. Pyramids…my mother is into the sciences. The sacred sciences, magnetizing water, humidifiers in the house to energizer air and shit like that. Her and my dad slept under a pyramid with crystals hanging from it. You feel me? Like in a water bed and shit with a fucking pyramid with the third eye embroidered on the headboard that said “Om”. Now I have this tapestry hanging over my bed. I took it from my moms cause it was in her closet. So yeah, that’s kinda hippie. They never said hippie, I never thought hippie. They’re black, and I was living in Inglewood in South Central, but yeah. I was given LSD when I was 3 years old. A half a tab, my mom said. But I never did drugs my whole life until like 3 years ago, when I started smoking weed. I never even drank alcohol, ever, in my whole life.

Complex: Why not?

Taz: ’Cause I just wasn’t interested. I was trying to focus on my mission. Be dope. Get money, get it popping, get a nice car. I was thinking like that in high school. Like, I need a house! I need to be owning shit. I was kinda like a ruthless little kid trying to just kill niggas with style and shit. Shit on niggas like, “Oh, ya’ll wearing Fila? Ya’ll wearing GUESS? I’ma wear this shirt from Maui & Sons with the custom-made Vans and wear the GUESS.”Complex: So you always had that attitude?Taz: Yeah, I was always the one with that attitude; I still have that attitude. That’s why I outdo cats. I know that sounds like I’m feeling myself, but that’s just the truth…I’m exotic with my shit.

Complex: After Paris Fashion Week, you really had all the blogs talking about you—specifically about the way you dress. Everyone was like, “Yo, Taz is wearing tights! What the fuck is that about?” Why do you think they were so shocked?

Taz: Cats don’t travel! They got to go to like Japan and see…there’s killers in this world with this style shit…muthafuckin’ ninjas that will slice your neck quick. You think you fresh rolling up with your little Gucci, and muthafuckas up there wearing dresses and shit with beards. But they not gay, they just wearing a kilt and their shit is fresh! They sitting there hanging out with fucking Karl Lagerfield. He’s worked with me, how the fuck are you gonna call him wack? Muthafuckas don’t have their minds right. This is art, man. This shit ain’t about fucking like “hip-hop rules” or no shit like that. This shit is Basquiat and Andy Warhol.

Complex: You’ve been on this style tip for a while. Do you feel vindicated, now that a lot of rappers and other more mainstream people seem to be experimenting with their style too?

Taz: Fuck yeah, I feel vindicated that my boy Kanye could be influenced by this style that’s original and it’s free, and be brave enough to take that style on for himself and run with that ball too. To join up on that team and be like, “Yo, I’m with this too.” Like, “Yeah, I’m taking these blows with you ’cause I’m early on this with you. I’ve been around the world too and now I see this shit. This shit is right.”…and you know, if we can get Pharrell to swag out…it’s a system for dudes and chicks. It’s called TI$A.

Complex: Your system?

Taz: Yeah, it’s my system. Whatever I’m involved in is always gonna be me. It’s also Kanye, and it’s called Pastel. It’s called Bentley for what he does, and it’s called G’s To Gents. My shit is called TI$A for what I do. And the style is being celebrated right now, and it’s an LA style. It comes from way back…and it’s like I represent that style. I’m a son of that style. I’m a master of that style.

Complex: It seems like your philosophy, when it comes to fashion, is all about people representing themselves as individuals, being unique…

Taz: You got to! You got to celebrate your inner glow or your own beauty. You got to.

Complex: So do you think it’s possible for somebody to be trying to represent themselves, but they just have wack style? Is that possible?

Taz: It’s a journey. The only time you can be wack is when you try to do somebody else’s look and you’re not doing it right, ’cause then there’s a way to measure or gauge what you doing. So if you trying to get the Millionaires with the brand new Dior jeans, the tuxedo shirts with the Louis belt and you have the look, but you don’t have the pieces, then they could be like, “Those aren’t Millionaires…and that’s not, what kind of belt is that? That’s Gap? You have the Dior jeans but they’re old.” See, you better not even doing that style. Just do you. You can wear American Apparel and be fly with some brand new sneakers on. You’re good as long as you got your mind right

Complex: But at the same time, don’t you expect kids to see you or another celebrity that they look up to, and want to dress like you? Is that a bad thing?

Taz: I think that kids should dress like me when they become a master. You not supposed to carry a gun unless you trained to carry a gun. You can’t do what the cowboys do. You can’t do what the Indians do. I’m a big guy; I’m not a little guy. There’s stages to this shit. I’m a professional. You can’t really go out wearing tights and Stephen Sprouse tights and shit. You don’t know how to do that. Stick to the skinny pants for right now. There’s phases—you just got out the baggy pants and the throwbacks!

Complex: [Laughs] Take your time?

Taz: Take your time. You got to work your way up. Learn about these brands, educate yourself, build your confidence up so you not so sensitive about what people say about you, then you can think about being a young master or just a student in depth. But there’s many stages to becoming a master, and I’m a young master; I’m a new generation of masters. I’m a new Karl Lagerfield or Ralph Lauren. You seeing the new Ralph Lauren right now, an original character who’s just being him.

Complex: You’re designing for MCM now. What did that brand mean to you when you were a kid?

Taz: Growing up, MCM was how Gucci and Louis is at the top now. For people with money and young professionals like black lawyers, hip lawyers in LA, MCM rivaled Gucci and Louis Vuitton and it was something that was celebrated as an equal. Way over GUESS, Fila and everything. This is a luxury brand, a bonafide, real, authentic luxury brand when I was growing up.Complex: So how did you end up connecting with the brand?Taz: I was wearing MCM that I would find in thrift shops or on eBay maybe 6 years ago. I never stopped wearing Gucci, I never stopped wearing MCM or wearing Polo. I never stopped wearing Vision Street Wear, I never stopped wearing Benetton’s. I still wear that shit now since back then, so if I see an MCM piece, I’m like, Oh, I fuck with that, that’s that shit. That’s what I do. I was wearing MCM on the album cover for the Hollywood Recordings.I started seeing people in Japan dress like me with the bow ties, the MCM jackets with the rope chains. That’s my original style. My friends in Tokyo were looking to help me develop my brand and my aesthetic ’cause they just really appreciated the demonstration. I was designing my new line, and then my buddy Big O said, “Yo, do you wanna do MCM?” So that opportunity just came to me through Big O and a couple other cats. Cats basically presented me with that. So I started designing pieces.The pieces I was doing, I was doing for TI$A, I just adapted them. It was like, “What would you do for MCM if you were to bring it back?” And I did what I would do—power pieces, a brief case. That led to me actually working with the larger company, as opposed to just an aspect of the company in Japan. I’m now talking to the owners and marketing directors—not even talking, we’re doing business. So next year, this time, we might have a piece of MCM in many different places in North America.

He's the son of Matt Weiner, who is the creator of the impeccably styled TV series Mad Men; young Arlo dresses him self, which amazes me because he has such great taste. Truth be told he dresses better then alot of grown men i know. In my opinion this little boy has a bright future in the fashion industry. Keep up the good work=]

I admit I'm guilty, for wearing leather jackets and sneakers. And There's no justification for that, its wrong of me to be part of the problem. However I'm going to work on trying to be part of the solution.One thing i can say though, is if I have any say so I'll never work with any type fur EVER.
