All You Wanted Was Change




"But most of the time, I've learned now, that people don't wanna change."

Growing up I've spent many times and plenty amounts of effort waiting (mostly waiting) and trying to help people change for my benefit. And each time I was left...waiting...watching as they walked away. We are the people we are and there's nothing anyone can do to change another person. Sometimes it (really) hurts to know that I can't have who I want and that desire to change others may never fully go away but the wisdom to know when it's time for ME to let go, to change the way I act keeps growing stronger. I've learned that THAT is the change I really needed and the lesson I needed to learn.

Oraine Barrett - Tetu's WOODsman

Major model, Oraine Barrett, gets rustic and sexy for the latest issue of Tetu magazine. Draped in the latest outdoor inspired menswear Oraine transforms himself into an edgy homespun WOODsman, zipping past trees on his dirt-bike, playing paint ball and stretching topless for no apparent reason. *happy sigh* It's every WOODsman's dream....WOOD.








OMG do you SEE that lower back? That ASS?!? The cakes, darling! The cakes! *drools




I just wanna pour myself onto him like those skin tight jeans...*Gasms* *Spills all over the floor*





Din Yates Returns With DKNY

I absolutely adore FORD model, Din Yates. I've been in love with this man for years now and I'm glad to see him make a return to the fashion scene this season with a major campaign for DKNY's latest men's campaign. His adorable baby face is still intact after all these years and he adds the perfect blend of class and unassuming innocence to give the rather dull campaign a bit of life.

Kid Sister - Daydreaming


Rufus & Chaka Khan - Stay




"It fits but you can't make it work / Where there's pain there's got to be hurt / And the green grass grows from the dirt / That's a fact of life alright...That's LIFE"

Sam Sparro - American Boy (Live)




I'm hella late....but I think I like this (Australian) Boy.

The Brilliant Wonder Of Thomas Mignot

Major Models Paris may have a brilliant new sensation in the form of stunning male model, Thomas Mignot. Starring solo in one of FLAUNT magazines latest editorials, Thomas looks ethereally soft and beautiful as he poses in Spring's newest menswear trends for photographer, David Bellemere. The way he captures every bit of fire, sadness and wonder in his eyes is nothing short of brilliant and it makes the editorial that much more remarkable.

We Can Do It Soldiers!

The Open Artist Movement and photographer, John Ganun, have teamed up to produce a new LGBT campaign "We Can Do It" to help bring an end to the military policy "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Taking inspiration from famed photographer, J. Howard Miller's legendary "We Can Do It" photo series, Ganun lenses prominent gay and lesbian figures like actors, Daryl Stephens & Wilson Cruz, film directors and writers, Quincy LeNear & Deondray Gossett, and 90's top model, Stephanie Roberts as service men and working women. It's poignant, timeless and beautifully strong.

David Agbodji - Desert Sharp For GQ Style

Re:Quest model, David Agbodji, strikes again, this time sizzling under the desert sun for GQ Style's Spring issue. Photographed by Brett Lloyd, David exudes classic elegance and sensuality amid the sand, shrubs and rocks of this striking terrain. Adding to the appeal of the editorial, Lloyd doubles David's face time with a digital doppleganger, giving the images a level of intimacy and romance that gently siezes its audience and makes the imagination run wild.

Lupe Fiasco & Kenna - Resurrection


Jason Sam: Re-Bel Rad!

This new editorial from Re-Bel magazine is absolutely dope. I love the 80's MTV theme and model, Jason Sam, is absolutely gorgeous as he bounces around in front camera man Christian Oita's lense in Vivienne Westwood, Nike and some vintage 80's pieces. Get into the zebra print leggings. They're way rad!

Calvin Klein - "You Wanna See my D!ck?"




"I'll show you my dick...if you show me yours"
Come on for inclusive language!!!

In Memory of Biggie

These are my two favorite Biggie songs of all time. One a classic hip-hop party anthem and the other a rougher hip-hop story produced by Easy Mo Bee. Strangely enoughy I love "Machine Gun Funk" even more than "Big Poppa." There's something about that beat that's just so 90's hip-hop perfection and I love how it sort of oozes sadness and despair. It's as if the beat was telling the story alongside Biggie and created this dark vision of his hardened world while still keeping that "knock" that keeps your head bobbing. It's a musical vision created by one of hip-hop's best storytellers and I love it for it's honesty. RIP B.I.G.

Kerry Degman is Delicious in DSquared2



...Ooooh the things I would do to this man. He is just the epitome of gorgeous and he makes camouflage look inappropriately sexy. Stand and salute, soldier. ;-)

The More You Know...About P!nk



*Side Lipton ~ I LOVE when she talks about her memories of Kevin Federline in the last video*

I LOVE the Cheshire Cat. Purrrrrrrrrr




I LOVE everything about this fiyace little kitty from his adorable purring, his exaggerated head turns and tail wags, his invisibility and evaporation powers and of course his devilishly cute cheshire cat grin. He gave me EVERYTHING I needed when I saw Alice In Wonderland last night. If for nothing else you should go see Alice just to see him and all of his fabulousness. God he makes me giggle with wonder like a wicked lil’ slightly touched school gurl. Hee Hee Hee Hee!

Dazed & Confused For So Long It's Not True









"I don’t know where you’re going / Only know just where you’ve been / Sweet sweet sweet baby, I want you again! / Yes I do, I do, I do!”


*Side Lipton - I LOVE it when he yells, "Judy! Judy! Judy!" Yaes!! Come on, Judy!!*

And The Wind Cries Jimi





“His music acknowledges an existential loneliness. He abstracted the blues. You can draw a line from ‘Death Letter’ ” — by the bluesman Son House — “to ‘The Wind Cries Mary.’ He’s telling a tale, but he doesn’t resolve it. It’s not like there’s a happy ending to any of these stories.” ~ Vernon Reid, guitarist for Living Colour

That's the quote I came across while at my internship on Monday. Something about that line resonated with me, so much so to the point where I just had to listen to "The Wind Cries Mary." By the second listen I'd fallen into some kind of eerie love with it. This song feels like dying music, like a man who's accepting his inevitable end and coming to terms with his own death. It's as though Jimi figured something out about time and death and he shared it in "The Wind Cries Mary." That type of raw honesty can't be denied or overlooked. It can only be heard. It can only be felt.

Sean John's New Rocker Edge

Gunning for a more diverse urban audience Diddy unviels his latest urban rocker inspired campaign for Sean John. Fronted by Red model, Dan Felton and Re:Quest model, David Agbodji, the campaign blends simplicity with sheer dramatic edge to create a stunnning line of images that captures the angst of rock and the cool of urban fashion to create one bold campaign.
