PS
4.5 PeachAppletinis for Q-Tip's album, The Renaissance
Bet.
So I have been sweating this album since its release back in November 08', but people haven't been following the swag. I'm actually jamming to "Manwomanboogie" right now, and am needless to say not disappointed. The beats are very vintage Tribe with a little bit of contemporary sound-flavor (don't get it twisted with "Vivrant Thing" though, good track, but definitely wasn't on the same funky tip). Think about seeing Q-Tip just as you imagined him, but now he's kind swole and is wearing a black silk tee-shirt. Now rip that tee-shirt off of him and shrink down those muscles and put him in whatever attire you like to see in people, and the mood he conveys will put you just so.
Now since you all have heard this review and respect this blog/blogger's opinion so much, go forth with your Q-Tip appreciation!

If you threw down with a Q-Tip, paper and rubbing alcohol you could probably come up with a sick gestural drawing or some really, really funky rhymes
Prototype, for sure

PART I
Hello Everyone! An alert to cool things students can potentially make in Portfolio class!
Here is a mood board teaser from recent SCAD graduate and designer Lili Barillas-McEntee, who I am lucky to be able to spend a lot of time with on a usually everyday basis!


Cover and title page

Concept sketches of inspiration for a high-waisted skirt that grew up the side of the body in my Apparel III class. I never ended up making it though

However, this twisted skirt was made. Made TERRIBLY!!!! Mwahahaha. The upperleft face served as its illustrative counterpart's visage.
for food:
local11ten
Food is above average, service is usually on point. The alcohol is actually better than the eating, but the overall ambiance is well worth it. A chic chunk of a somewhere-other-than-here, local is a spot pretty much worth the $50-$70 a head you'll spend to enjoy a meal in.
Located on Bull and Park streets
for garage sale-goers:
Savannah Market Bazaar
Savannah Market Bazaar is a relatively small conglomerate of really interesting/weird/useless/practical/religious/retarded (no literally, everything is coated with shellac) things that can make your day only to break your heart when their life-expectancy falls short of your dreams but well into the realms of reality. It's up the 2nd Saturday of every month at the Robinson Garage (York at Montgomery) from 9am-2pm.
The contact is Miriam--

w/www.newmoonofsavannah.com
a 9'x20' space is $20 at the sale, double that is $35.
for sweet, sweet candy:Back in the Day Bakery
I've said/wrote it before, but this place is awesome. 40th and Bull, tastes like Magnolia's without the line and the hype, so I guess it's pretty much better.
Anyway, I've gotta go to work on Kan Magazine-- See you all on ThE fLiP sIdE

So I'm back! After a really long break, I'm back to try and deliver what I think is worth being delivered-- parcels, ideas, punches to the baby-maker. My life has not been smelling like pure, rich mahogany recently, but I'm relatively sure things are on the up-and-come-up. That's a new phrase by the way--> The UACU.

So-- I'm here to let you know I'm about to drop an ish ton of blogs and knicky-knacks to hold you over until I can find steady access to a scanner and computer. I'm technologically disabled as of right now, with a laptop that I Pélé'd by accidenté, and a bank account that fluxuates harder than a video ho in a Sean Paul spot.
HOWEVER
Keep in touch, I'm straight up trying to be like Gandalf with the Hobbits- very goddamn avuncular

PS. Read "Catcher in the Rye" again, you won't be disappointed.
Swiss watch-making company Nubeo is deterring from the tried and true of endorsing golfers and tennis players, and instead has made the bold move of stepping onto the hardwood. Kobe Bryant will now have to wear at least one of three of his Nubeo brand "Black Mamba" special edition watches when he's abusing motherfuckers on the nightly. So now not only will you be degraded because you've just been: Faced, thrown on, jumped over, straight up made to look silly, and/or all that other good ish that Kobz does to other ballers, but you'll also feel bad because there is no way in hell you can afford his $285,000 watch.

yowzas.

I'm thinking about putting mines on Layaway, you?

I saw Danny Green play in High School (St. Mary's/NJ) at Baruch College my sophomore year of high school, and I left feeling thoroughly unimpressed. He was obviously the best player, but for some reason I just didn't think he would succeed at Carolina-- I believed the ACC to bea conference way too physically demanding with a talent pool that was just beyond his level.
4 years later, I'm wrong, Danny Green is a pivotal piece to the nation's best team, and he's getting face time pre-game for the Tar Heels.
About that interview... Don't ever laugh like Jada again Danny, like ever.

man, you not even a predicate. This dunk is Raw, though

this yell and flex is wayyyyy unconvincing. Pairing this with ESPN footage from two nights ago means the revoking of one's hood pass
so this summer Im moving to harlem I dont really care if Im not a writer but Im going to take my old typewriter and make you love me make you want me by me I mean my writing but of course you already understood that and maybe if you didnt you should take your head from inbetween the corner walls of your bedroom and sober up because sometimes people other than myself have important things to say maybe Im not even going to make you remotely like my writing because Ill be too busy making sure I like it myself and in doing so Ill make sure that that always remains meaningful because if I lived my life like others who lived their life for others than maybe I would have ended up a little different or even similarly dissimilar or exactly the same.
Not that Ive never tried to make something out of my life I think I was born into doing that because I never was too proud of any of my surroundings until I didnt have them any more or maybe I just was always too proud to admit that I have a grateful deficiency which means its both great and I am still full of deficiency and I used to think it made me better than you to admit that I have problems when you didnt but now Ive come to realize that it really just makes me the same if not lesser but now given to you was the additional awareness that I have problems.
Maybe this will make my selection of short stories.

Told by a friend to look at this website, and was pleased when I did. The artist's name is Antonio Jorge Gonçalves, and he travels around the world to draw the people he sees in various subways.
Success!
