Spotlight On: Queenie Valentine

WEll ladies and gents, turns out that Queenie Valentine is not just a figment of our imagination, but an actual person..IS NOTHING IN THIS WORLD SACRED?????? Well we are not changing our name, merely informing our very small reader population about this atrocity.

The Backstory: Queenie Valentine is a burlesque dancer based in key west. Burlesque is not stripping (look up Dita von Teese), but more like an older form of exotic dancing, vaudeville-esque. Anywho, I think that Queenie Valentine is pretty cool looking, but i am kinda sad that we are not the only ones with that name, who ever thought randomness could be duplicated? lmao

check out Queenie and her friends Va Va Vinnie, Teetah Dujour, Bubbles McCrackin, Moya Mona, and Lola LaFleur (such cool names) at:

with love,

Queenie V II (lol)

Check Her Style: EVE

Some one on the style come up is miss EVE. When Eve first came on the seen in the 90's she was known as a pit bull in a skirt with short blonde hair and a mean freestyle. Eve's style was very boyish, ghetto fabulous, and street conscious. Eve has now evolved into a a style maven. Eve wears such labels as Jeremy Scott, Alexander McQueen, and of course L.A.M.B. by Gwen Stefan.

To get Eve's Look Try:

• High waisted jeans


• Leggings( not lame lol)


• High heels


• Blonde hair (if your bold enough hahaha)
  

its 200 degrees and ur wearing lame leggings?

the culprit:

i love american apparel as much as the next chick, but leggings in summer is not checking out so good. here in breezy beautiful baltimore its hot as a mutha, and i walk to work daily, can u imagine if i wore lame while doing it. first of all i dont even know wtf lame (pronounced lam-ay) is to begin with (im guessing a very shiny version of spandex) anyway its ugly and should be left on the runway and in eves sweet new video... i mean seriously who wants a shiny ass?

dont think you can get away with cotton leggings either, or lace ones, or any other kind of material they make leggings out of these days. they are simply over publicized, kinda like lil' wayne and beyonce, and make me somewhat irritable when i see little girls prance around baltimore street in lace hot pink leggings in 300 degree weather. get real. get original. when the local junkie has scored a pair, i think its time to stop wearing them. o and another thing LEGGINGS ARE NOT, I REPEAT ARE NOT PANTS..(unless u are a size 000, and that doesnt even exist).

the verdict:

the disco era has died and lame should go right along with it, leggings stay in dance class and in utter cold situations, such as snow and/or rain....

4/5 dueces and a wash cloth 2 wash the sweat gathering in between ur legs (grosssss)

love the leggingless,

sh*t to put on ur facebook

we all kno u sit at ur desk and pretend to do work, while ur really slaving over facebook, adding new features (because its trying desperately to pick up where myspace left off), crying over who left that "i think you're a biotch" comment in your honesty box, and reading other peoples wall 2 walls...hmmmmmmmmm..well heres some ish to put on ur fb site. i prefer heartfelt urban poetry, but this could do the trick:

for ur quotes:

"don't be jealous cuz' i've been chatting online with hot babes all day"-Kip Dynamite from "Napoleon Dynamite"

and there u have it. :)

while we're at it i just got a request on facebook to attend a "happy hour" where u give ish like beer and liquor to your friends virtually...wtF? facebook is out of control, i thought sending ur pussy through facebook was a bit much with the creation of "X-me"...more like "sex-me". Anyway, since jourdan has given me a beer, im sure il be virtually drunk within the hour. we can all ask ourselves what is this world coming to or we can simply add the feature, which i am gladly doing lol. maybe alchoholics annonymous should take facebooks hint, and use this as a sobering up device..


peace queen,

buy us a drink (preferably straight vodka lmao)

My Views on Rihanna...What You Are Afraid to Say hahaha

So Rihanna has a new album, Good Girl Gone Bad. Paired with the album is a whole new image she has popping off. She drops 10 pounds, cuts her hair ( don't get me wrong it is a wicked haircut), and dawns herself in bondage wear and black clothes. Does this really exemplify bad girl behavior.......ummmmm noooooooooooo! She has a punk look but a pop sound? Maybe Im just not understanding the marketing strategy hehe

the DONTS of hood wear

the crime:
recently ive had an unfortunate relapse back into the era of "hood wear" or "mondawmin wear" as we like to call it here in baltimore...i mean so sue me, it was a lettermans jacket, and it was HOT PINK, a color which i adore, but unfortuantly it had "RW" on it..(sigh)...i mean there is nothing wrong with hood wear, street wear whatever...shit there is something wrong with street wear..its an abomination to clothes everywhere, i mean baby phat, rocawear...come on, wore them in like seventh grade or elementary school. There is a way to do street wear and there is a way to NOT do street wear and those brands my friends are prime examples of how NOT to do street wear...Jay is the greatest, but he shoulda kept his claws outta the fashion industry.



ANYWHO, a semi-new brand has emerged to rank itself with the likes of southpole and all that other mumbo jumbo crap u can buy at macys...its called LOT 29. LOT 29 is a new streewear component that adorns innocent white cotton shirts with cartoon characters such as sylvester, tweety, bugs, u get the idea. the "spokesmodels" are none other than the trash talkin juelz santana, 3lw, and melyssa ford---i think thats her...well the clothes are absolutely wretched and were recently featured in MISSBEHAVE, it all left me asking WTF????? r u guys on a stronger crack now? i mean i love love love missbehave and all it has to offer, but LOT29? come on and ger real...like seriously. are we actually supposed to walk the streets...LIKE THAT? i mean why dont we add some apple bottom jeans a string for a headband and a fake coach bag to the mix while we're at it????? and then get our boyfriends to wear FUBU and GUnit...

muahahahaha...its frankly a mess!

verdict: 5/5 dueces and a 50 dollar gift card to nordstroms so u can try and redeem urself

http://www.lot29.com/ so u can see for yourself!!
