A-T-L-A-N-T-A, G-A THAT’S WHERE I S-T-A-Y…..

Monica and her hidden tattoo had everybody wanting to have a GAP themed dance party.

This seems like it’s the greatest career!

I didn’t see one of my fave voice actors, Cree Summer listed. I hope she gets some love, because Freddie Brooks was no one trick pony! Cree has been the voice of too many characters to list. Google her!

Just to name a few…

Penny from Inspector Gadget

Susie Carmichael from the Rugrats and All Grown Up

Elmyra Duff from Tiny Tunes Adventures

There’s a song we sang in church when I was little,”Give them their flowers, while they’re still alive.”
In a time when it was very dangerous to do anything other than shuck and jive, HARRY BELAFONTE was a powerful at the forefront of several movements.

Harry starred with the beautiful Dorothy Dandridge in "Carmen Jones"

Daylight come and me wan go home…with Mr. Belafonte.

FUNNY: Shit Black Gays Say

vashtie — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 03:05:35 +0000

This whole “Shit X Say” has gotten so out of control, but I love it and I have a love/hate for how accurate they always are (damn, stereotypes). I recently found this one “Shit Black Gays Say…” and I’m in love. Having grown up with the shadiest gay brother who taught me the rainbow language as well as the art of reading, “I Live”!!!

My super favorites are, which is most of them:
“Child Boo”
“Bitch, you are so late”
“He tried it”
“She ate that”
“That is so cunt”
“Easy, breezy beautiful bitches”
“Work”
“Don’t come for me!”
“I live”
“Girl bye”
“No Shade”
“That’s real cute for you”
“He’s trying to give you butch queen realness”

WANT: Mario Question Block Lamp

This thing couldn’t be cooler. I mean just seeing it in action has memories flooding back of playing Mario Brothers until the wee hours of the morning with my big Brother Ram. He would come home at around 3 or 4 in the morning after a long night of clubbing and wake me up so that we both could finish the game. After that I believe we moved on to Contra, which was so perfect for two players after you entered the code for the unlimited players! Youth, where have you gone?!

EAT OUT ELLE CLAY: Locanda Verde (NYC)

Friday night, I partook in a celebratory dinner with my old pal JOHN.

SGROPPINO PRIMAVERA this cocktail was AMAZING. Sorbet and prosecco!

Bread was crusty on the outside and soft and fluffy inside with parm and herbs on top.

WARM MUSHROOM SALAD with poached egg and crispy prosciutto: This was surprisingly tasty. I’m not a fan of oozing yolks, but the yolk was like an extended dressing for the salad. The tiny croutons hiding underneath was also a very nice surprise.

ROASTED BRUSSEL SPROUTS WITH PANCETTA & PECORINO: I mean, the description is enough.

MY GRANDMOTHER’S RAVIOLI: My Grandma didn’t make ravioli, but after tasting this I wish she would have.

WOOD-FIRED PORK CHOP with Yukon gold potatoes, trumpet mushrooms and walnuts: This chop was delicious! I don’t know if they smoked it, but it tasted more like ham than a chop. I had to stop myself from picking up the plate and drinking the jus.

DEAR JOHN

We’ve reached the dessert portion of the evening. Locanda Verde did not disappoint.

CHOCOLATE TORTA with hazelnut gelato & MAPLE BUNDINO cranberry-blood orange conserve, cranberry sorbetto
The BUNDINO didn’t make no kind of sense! (That means, it was really, really good)

RANDOM: Christmas Spirit!

ART: Varsity Varsity by Jen Phan

I decided to paint this illustration of Adrianne Ho after seeing Jake Davis’s test shot video on Hypebeast. Plus, seeing the same Supreme jacket hanging off of Vashtie’s coat rack every time I stepped into the office reminded me that I really needed to finish this piece.

You can always count on a good ol’ varsity jacket to transform any outfit into a classic look!
