Madonna BOOED

Never having the recalection of a respected woman such as Madonna getting booed off stage, no one can blame her for at least trying to make a change.

August 27, 2009 Pop Star Madonna sent a message that was totally rejected by the Romanian Audiance. Setting in the capitol of Bucharest, Romania Madonna stated in concert infront of 60,000 fans “It has been brought to my attention … that there is a lot of discrimination against Romanies and Gypsies in general in Eastern Europe,” she said. “It made me feel very sad.” The crowd began to boo her in hasting jeers of humiliation against their true belief which they find disrespectful.

Continueing to push the issue further she says “We don’t believe in discrimination … we believe in freedom and equal rights for everyone.” Mentioning homosexual rights and so forth.

When will she give? Everytime she tries to take a stand in another country it flops. From her adoption controversy to the equal rights against of homosexual protest at concerts who knows what she will try to do next? Respecting her persistance to change sometimes her timing can be off.

Surrounded around gypsies that perform with her and knowing their discrimination challenges intridged her peersistance of spreading the word, but here is some advice Madonna, not infront of 60,000 opposing guest of your own, not a good money move.

Rest in Peace Ted Kennedy

Morning the loss of Democratic leader, Senator Ted Kennedy
Born February 22, 1932
Died: August 25, 2009.
Cause of Death: Brain Cancer

Just to educate those who stand oblivious to this powerful and trusting man's history, Senator Kennedy belonged to many Organizations and Committees inorder to intridge change within the American mind. Partaking in such socialisms as the Labor Public Welfare Comittee, he also was apart of the funding for finding an AIDS cure, and was driven to win the rights for gay couples and woman everywhere.From 1962 until 2009 this Kennedy has stood strong.Ted Kennedy has totally represented himself as fighting for what he genuinly believes is right and equal. Not only does he stand above his time but he did it in a positive and nuturing way for the people, carrying on the dreams of his Earlies lost love John F. Kennedy.

Futuristic Fashionista

Futuristic Fashionista is the name X&I give Lady Gaga, as she rips down every red carpet she lands her feet on! So the big question is, who dresses her? where did it come from? and how can we contact them. LOL...No, but seriously.

Her name is B. Akerlund, presented as Lady Gaga's very first stylist. As many of you may NOT already know Lady Gaga holds another profound talent frequently creating her own wardrobes, Haus of Gaga's totally esscentric line totoally reflects her image. Fashionably stepping outside the box, she allows her wardrobe to always give too much and just enough for the eye to handle. Just looking at Lady Gaga takes one into another visual deminsion.

Her fashion statement is strong and as my friend Jazzie Pha would say "I can Respect that!"

Head Piece

Head pieces are seemingly needed for the fall season this year, adding just enough spunk or pazzazz to your outfit for a day or evening out. They also work great with simple pieces and evening gowns.

Check out model Agyness rock this Anna Sui head peice down the runway like they are not from 1939 but 2009. Work it Agy !

First Lady and her Shorts

So A First Lady Never Wore Shorts Huh?

2009 is the year that we are living in. While browsing the web I kept coming across headlines" The First Lady Wearing Shorts". My first question was, whats the big deal? My first answer was there is no big deal. Michelle Obama is the first lady but lets be real she is still a human being, coming home from the Grand Canyon with her children and our leading man.

What I want to know from my "College KidZ"is "Whats the big deal!" There are so many other things going on in the world that need fixing and repairing for the news to focus on Michelle Obama wearing shorts coming fresh off vacation. The news media needs to start loosening up on the small stuff and tighten up on the main things likes ending the recession, cleaning up the inner city neighborhoods, or fixing the school system!! Talk about something that is valuable and not a waste of time.

The First Lady wearing shorts has been done before and will be done again.

Sheers, and Shapes have taken over the fashion scene for the 2009 fall season,but Marc Jacobs endured slight of a twist. Complimenting his 80's felt skirts and scarves with oversized gray sweaters, and dazzled in detail.. Sutle yet Tasteful



So complicated that it makes sense! D&G ready to wear runway showdown.. As they are simply luxerious in there mink, high standing head pieces and crazy textured fabrics.

Gucci Mane Rumors

On August 19, 2009 rumors were spread via text message, globally that rapper Rodric Davis popularly known as Gucci Mane was found dead in a car due to drug overdose. Seemingly the rumors were false and Gucci released a statement varifying these false ridericking rumors.

The question of the day. Why do people spread false life dangering messages?
