Eve - Me N My



Eve has leaked a new song titled "Me N My" from her upcoming album Flirt. On the track Eve abandons any typical hip-hop sound and instead decides to dive deep into the musical world of underground raves, techno/electronica and U.K. dubstep. The bass thumping Salaam Remi & Benga beat (which samples Benga's song "E-Trips") is filled with synth riffs, rattles, claps & flares reminiscent of the underground dance scene from The Matrix: Reloaded. Any club kid or rave junkie worth their weight in X-pills and pacifiers is at least going to wiggle their hips as Eve beckons "Just dance/Come on/Dance/Come on."

Besides attempting to incite a critical dance riot Eve also praises herself and her female friends with the chorus line, "Me and my bitches up in the club/Me and my bitches up in the club/Acting like we hot posin up for thugs." The praise becomes all too provocative when she begins to rap, "Never knew a bitch like you could dance/Never knew a bitch like you could dance/Dance/Come on!" It's all at once crude, unexpected and enticing...in a butch way.

Is the song a hit? Maybe. But it is an intruiging venture into the dance world for Eve and I'd love to see it put into video form. Check out the song below.

Gracie Carvahlo: Brasilia's Grace



Continuing in my love/coverage of Brasilian models another of the country's star models is making waves in the fashion industry. Signed with Marilyn Models, 18 year old Gracie Carvahlo is already a top model in South America and is slowly making a name for herself here in the Northern hemisphere. She may not be booking as many blue chip jobs as her Brasilian counterpart, Raquel Zimmerman, but she's quietly booking gigs that most models would kill for. This Fall/Winter season the avian-like beauty's already booked campaigns for DKNY Jeans, Victoria's Secret and Kenneth Cole and shots for GAP, EXPRESS and BCBG Max Azria should be coming out soon.

Last year the girl was hailed as the next big thing out of Brasil after having walked in nearly every major designers show during Rio and São Paulo Fashion weeks. This past season she arrived in New York and Paris and walked for major designers like Stella McCartney, Kris Van Assche, Ralph Lauren, 3.1 Phillip Lim and her current employer BCBG Max Azria. Just this summer she walked for Diane Von Furstenberg and Jason Wu's Resort shows. This girl's clearly got next and Brasil's presence alive and well in the fashion world.















Chanel Iman & Jourdan Dunn VOGUE for the Young Gurls

These two look as cute as a fuckin' button together in this preview of their new editorial for next month's issue of Teen Vogue. I know this page of the editorial is dedicated to t-shirts but I love those short shorts and I DEFINITELY need to get my hands on those brazalete's (bracelets) for the new school year.

Lady GaGa Penetrates (Hee Hee) The High-Fashion World



Looking at these pictures from W magazines August issue it's clear that Lady GaGa's influence has begun to seep onto the pages of high-fashion magazines. Editor and stylist, Alex White, takes the GaGa aesthetic and melds it onto one of, if not THE, top models of the world, Raquel Zimmerman. Photographers Inez & Vinoodh capture the moody magic of this doppleganger as she gives her best GaGa chic inspired pouts and poses. "That's FASHION honey!" Check out the rest of the GaGa inspired editorial below.

Darling Nikki a.k.a Nicole Amari Fierce a.k.a. Andro-Gynous



That first pic is PRICELESS, ain't it? Never let it be said that false lashes are comfortable!! Anyhoo, these pics are from a charity drag show I did at my school last Spring and in the title are my various drag stage names. For those of you who don't recognize who I performed as (which is most of you), I was funk singer Betty Davis performing Joi's remake of her song "If I'm In Luck (I Just Might Get Picked Up)"



This was my first drag show and I remember I practiced a routine for this song almost every night until the day of the show. As soon as I got on stage though....POOF. I forgot about 90% of my routine. Everything after the first 30 seconds was freestyled. I gyrated, sashayed and shook my androgynous/boyish looking ass all over that auditorium!! While the performance may not have been everything I wanted it to be it was every bit of FUN that I needed it to be. Plus I got a great pair of platform boots and some daisy dukes that I STILL wear around my house (I paid too much money not to wear those!!) LoL. Here's some more pics of "Darling Nikki" below.
