Tonight I watched Boyz in the Hood for the first time ever. I know what you’re all sayin’…”late to the party” haha, I swear it wasn’t my fault; my moms was trippin’. Anyway, the movie was fantastic, I mean wow! I can’t believe I am just now seeing this movie. It’s like when I heard that Cassie song, Me & You for the first time late last year and I thought it had just come out…so ridiculous. I’m mad late on this one. The scenes, the character development, the actors, the soundtrack, DAAAAAAMN; this movie is literally the whole package… Keep reading →

okay, so Donatella Versace is tan, really tan. Shriveled up raisin tan, why? For serious, WHY? Damn, this is just unsightly! It makes me feel so sad inside. Like, it just looks like her skin is screaming and all she can think to do is rub sunscreen on versus just getting out of the sun altogether. ugh, so sad.

also odd is how much the face she is making resembles one Karl Lagerfeld makes all the time. I couldn’t find a picture of what I’m talking about, but i thought this nice picture of Karl smiling was cool enough to post any regardless of relevancy. Haha.

When I first saw this face on this raisin I thought to myself, ” damn, Karl lost all that weight and still has titties; dang. But wait, this is actually Donatella, tsk tsk. A+ for being bold enough to just walk around all dried up with your mammies all over the place, I mean that takes balls, but Dona babygirl you gotta take better care of yourself. You’re not as young as you used to be and things are probably changing with your body and your skin is probably getting a little baggy on you and stuff but like, you have nothing to prove to anyone so like…take it down a 1000 with the tanning.

this is LOL on so many levels. haha. this is a picture from the night Switch of Major Lazer played the Girls & Boys party at Webster Hall. Haha. I love to see intense grinding like this, it’s hilarious! Haha, I love that one can tell that the girl “wants it” just by reading her body language, haha, just look at her! Haha, she is in no way planning to put up a fight; She even seems to bind her own hands beneath her body as her man and/or random dude proceeds to grind on her…while she ’s on the filthy club floor…or is that the stage? Haha, GLORIOUS. And ha, I love that the dude get even more “shine” with this photo, haha, throwin’ up dueces and stuff for the camera while he is still on the girl.

Sighs, I love grinding.

Haha, LOL on so many levels. Love it.

On Monday night Inked Magazine celebrated their 2nd year anniversary at Avenue and it was a pretty spectacular event. It was sponsored by Jack Daniels, so you know every scenester and “tattoed-mama” was out in full force. Ha, I had a drink or two, not too much, but just enough to “get right”…LOL. There was a dj, someone I had never heard of who played all the stuff that everyone knew, but not with any amount of talent that was noticeable…[i wont go into it, under the advice of a friend]

“When I’m Gone” – Vivian Girls

So many of you will have already heard of the ever-popular, über-hyped, Brooklyn-based Vivian Girls, who have begun their tour of the UK promoting their sophomore album Everything Goes Wrong (In the Red, 2009). Friday night I had the pleasure of seeing them perform in the small, but moderately-famous Jericho Tavern (the JT is where, perhaps most notably, Radiohead first performed). After a superb opening by Veronica Falls, the Vivian Girls stepped on stage and played a solid set: a nice mix of songs from their new album and their self-titled debut. They even threw in a beautifully done a capella number with tambourines! (pictured above)

Hello people of ITYS. My name is Stephanie Malik and I’ll now be contributing to this lovely blog with happenings in the UK . I’m currently based in Oxford– where I am trying to figure out this philosophy/life stuff–and so most things I write about will likely take place here and in London. I’m actually from the US of A (just graduated from Oberlin), but still please forgive any inevitable anglicization (i.e. compulsive tea-drinking and excessive use of hyperbolic adjectives like “amazing” and “brilliant”).

In the coming months I hope to cover some gigs, starting with the Vivian Girls who played an amazing (I warned you!) show last night, and also some special events, like London’s East End Film Festival etc. Ought to be a fun extravaganza!… or something

Was nice meeting you.

Stephanie

In the wake of all tragedies, of course an idiot has to rise from the pool of his own filth to say something ridiculous, ill-timed and inappropriate. Today, that idiot is Pat Robertson, a “televangelidiot”.

Pat says that while under French rule, Haitians “swore a pact the Devil” to serve him if he delivered them from the French.
He then goes on to say that “ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after another.”

23 year old reality tv “star” Heidi Montag is “self admittedly” addicted to plastic surgery, according to People Magazine, sighs. Apparently she had 10 procedures done in one day, damn. Like what is she doing to herself? Though not a fan of her old show and not someone that thinks she is “the hottest”, she’s not a a bad looking person. I mean, above average for sure, like what is she doing? Does she want to end up looking like Joan Rivers?

or that soap star Lisa Rinna whose lips look like some kind f mangled genitalia??

yikes, stop! it’s so unnecessary and like, you’re 23 and you don’t need anything lifted or tucked or poked or prodded, dang. Hmm, this gets me to thinking…maybe it has something to do with her husband, Spencer Pratt, maybe he is encouraging it? I mean, didn’t his little sister have some “work” done to her face? Like I know she looked like a bad version of Paige from Degrassi, but like then she had some work done and looked like a 2% better version of a bad version of Paige from Degrassi…

anyway, just stop before you end up looking like some of the brain-dead, washed up, “celebrities” of yesteryear in their 60’s that hang out on the Lower East Side in New York…I mean, that’s the last thing you want, trust me! I’ve seen these people up close and lemme tell you, even in the dark a worked on set of cheeks and a worked on set of lips are mortifying!

take care of yourself Heidi, life is too short!

My heart goes out to Haiti, a place I have no problem admitting I am not too familiar with on any level other than having friends whose origin lies within, but that is neither here not there; Haiti is a place full of people, people who are now experiencing a suffering many of us will never know.

On Tuesday, an earthquake of about a 7.0 magnitude struck just outside of Haiti’s capital Port-Au-Prince leaving approximately 3 million people affected and thousands unaccounted for, some of which are presumed dead. By many accounts the earthquake left Haiti in state worse than that of a war zone. With their archbishop, Monsignor Joseph Serge Miot found dead and many hospitals, schools, and the parliament all collapsed, Haiti is experiencing the worst of times. This earthquake is said to be the worst the country has seen in two decades.

Many countries including the US, Venezuela, Canada, and France have pledged to send aid workers and relief to Haiti over the next few days to help in anyway we can. We, bloggers, photographers, entertainers, those of us working 9 to 5, etc should do our part to help as well. Whether putting 50 cents or a dollar in the Red Cross box on the counter at 7-11 or going to the Red Cross website [here] and donating that way, every little bit helps.

Workin’ Together – Ike & Tina Turner

because  “workin’ together we can make a change, workin’ together we can help better things”

You can also donate & show your support by:

>>> text “HAITI” to ‘90999′ and a donation of $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross to help with relief efforts, charged to your cell phone bill.

>>> text “Yele” to 501501 you will automatically be donating $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund; more info on that can be found [here].

>>> visiting www.unicef.com and pledging your support.

In a move toward solidarity I feel it appropriate to use this day as a day as a day to not complain about the trivial, menial things I, and I’m sure many others, find to complain about on a day to day basis. There are problems so much bigger than anything we will ever experience going on in the world and today is as good a day as any to really just sit down and think about what you have and appreciate it. Life is too short and things happen unexpectedly so take nothing for granted. Be grateful for what you have and for your friends and family.

Haiti needs our help, so let’s help.

-Antwan & ITYS.

Even though this was obviously done for a little publicity, I still like this photo.
The only thing that could ruin this for me, would be if ol’ mangle face K*@ye
managed to wiggle his way into the picture in an attempt to steal “shine” from
ol’ girl; he would try and you know this.

Leo, please give us a good movie, and don’t drag Michael Caine into this
bullshit, he’s one of my favorites. also, does anyone actually understand
what this is going to be about?

kthnxbai.

i put on a thrifted flannel button-down and some white suspenders to give the
“outfit” that extra kick. i then reached for a pair of old eyeglasses frames with
no lenses and i slapped those on my face to make me different and kinda edgy.
i decided that swooping my hair to one side would suffice to show my general
disdain about the way things in the world were going and plus that black guy
in that band does it so like, so can i.

after that, i went and brushed my teeth for 6 minutes to make sure they were
really white; yellow teeth in a photo is NO BUENO. ew, and i see ppl who don’t
seem to mind their crusty smiles all up in photos all the time…anyway..

after brushing my teeth, i decided that maybe since i had the “uniform” on i
should snap a picture of something a “hipster” would photograph…so, of course
i photographed my roommates cat being all coy and shit. i asked him (the feline)
to let me see his face, but he was listening to Taking Back Sunday and being all
emo, so i let him do what he wanted to do…

He covered up his face, swooped his hair to the side (to emulate me no doubt) and
gave out what sounded like a death rattle. Well at that precise moment, *camera
shutter sound* i got the shot and wowie, does that kitty know how to convey sorrow.

the way his little paw took the focus broke my little heart and together we had our-
selves an old fashioned “pity party” and we talked about the things & people that had
let us down and disappointed us..this went on all night, and it was beautiful.

the end.

hmm, it’s 2010. a whole new year, this intrigues me. 2009 was a great year, it was fun, i saw & did a lot of things i never imagined i would be able to…but one thing that was missing in 2009 and for a few years now has been a “relationship”… i feel like in this new year i need to make a conscious effort to change this…but i’m not exactly sure what i have been doing wrong in the first place…

is it that i’m too funny when i meet girls? that i make them so comfortable around me that they immediately view me as a “bff”? that’s annoying, cuz like, sure i’ve been waiting til’ marriage to “fuck”, but like, “Bitch, can i get in yo’ GUTS?!” sounds harsh, i know, but like, what the hell.

it’s like, yeah, yeah, dancing at that club was so fun and yeah grinding to ’salt n pepa’ was great…but uhh, did you not feel that “umph, coming thru; on YOU” …cuz if you didn’t let’s try this again and this time PAY ATTENTION.
