Maxwell - Lady In My Life

Here's Maxwell's tribute to Michael Jackson from last night's Grammy Nomination Party. My two favorite highlights are when he sings "I wanna paint yo toe nails" and when he squeals at the 4:32 mark. Yaes, baby!

....I have SO MUCH morning wood, right now... ;-]



Side Lipton ~ Maxwell is truly enough of a musical genius to make this song his own. I dig it and I respect it.

Dancing With Her Brother, Again

Janet Jackson KILLED it during her tribute to her brother, Michael. No other performance that night permeated with such raw emotion. I think everyone who saw this performance had a smile on their face as they stared at their TV screen. I'll ALWAYS root for Janet AND Michael.

*Those dance lines were SICKENING!*

The Beauties of the THRILLER!!!

It has finally arrived. i-D magazine's highly anticipated editorial featuring Sessilee Lopez, Chanel Iman, Arlenis Sosa Peña and Jourdan Dunn has hit the internet and it's every bit of FIERCENESS that I thought it would be. The editorial, "Thriller," takes subtle inspiration in both style and title from the classic Michael Jackson song about zombies, ghouls and goblins and creates a shadowy world of mood and fashion as shot by photographer, Emma Summerton. Set to both black & white and color images "Thriller" casts these four models as dark, brooding creatures on the gritty downtown streets of the U.K.

*Those shoes are sooo impractically SICKENING!!!*

It's gritty. It's edgy. It's AMAZING. By far the best editorial I've seen this month and just like its namesake, it's sure to be a classic.

P.Y.T. for i-D Mag

British fashion magazine, i-D, has chosen the world's top 4 black models (Chanel Iman, Sessilee Lopez, Jourdan Dunn, and Arlenis Sosa Peña) to grace their September "Pretty Young Things" issue. The cover, which was inspired by 80's era of B-Boy Hip-Hop, R&B girl groups and loud make-up, was shot by the amazing Emma Summerton and styled by Edward Enninful.

For anyone with a knowledge of the fashion industry's continuing history of racism this is a landmark cover. Most black models find it EXTREMELY difficult to land magazine covers, especially during September when fashion magazines publish their biggest issues (Editors think black models can't sell to a broad audience...HA!). These girls served it (Work Chanel!) and they're definitely giving me something to look forward to in the coming weeks. Be sure to check your local newstands and pick up a copy of the "Pretty Young Things" issue when it hits a news stand near you. Until then let's jam to some Michael Jackson

Pretty young things, repeat after me
