here is a weekend spent with CHUCK and MIKEY of THE COOL KIDS. for the record, you all are COOL KIDS in my book also included are pics from the show COME CORRECT featuring my peeps INDIE, COPE 2, CLAW, WEST, and KAWS. also up there was the great FAFI.

*SORAYA and STEVE STEVERSON.

*PHILLIP.

*COPE 2. right before i took this pic some dude covered my camera and blocked my pic. i looked at him like, “QUE!” and he asked me “you know COPE 2″. i looked him dead in his peepers and said “yeah, moron”. well, i did that minus the moron part…but i grilled him, then he felt bad and i buried the hate and kept it moving.

the COOL KIDS afterparty at the RED BULL LOFT.

*E and INGLISH.

*MIKEY.

*GREGGLES and S DOT rocking VIOLETTE (in men’s too, hoe!)

then it was, shopping at COAT OF ARMS. check BRIAN who runs that spot! they keep you laced with throwback gear.

*CHUCK INGLISH with the OJ hat. haha.

*japanesey with ELLE and JC.

then it was off to ANGELS and KINGS to meet SABEL…fun times with that gal, always.

*the FRIDAY NIGHT CREW.

*JC wasn’t ready for the pose.

*breaking it down…

*my new favorite tee, which means i will wear it days at a time and no one can tell me nothing about it

*um, yeah…

*ELLE testing out the goods. her rating said “ALL GOOD, BABY”!

*BIGGIE came on and well…you know.

*on our way out of ANGELS and KINGS we bumped into these guys who we had a brief chat with, ALIX and i forget the guys name but he’s in some band called COBRA STARSHIP. anyways, we all jumped into cabs and made it to the next spot…neither of us had realized until the next day that no one in our crew knew them. they turned out to be cool as a fan though.

here’s a clip from FUTURE SHOCK. it was JAMES BROWN’s own dancing show in the 70′s…it didn’t last long. the beats are sick and the dancers are dope and hilarious.

my boy caleb sent me this video he and his peeps made. check it!

as my mom would say “ch-row back”, with her Trini accent. these guys were so dope.

not sure if you guys heard of this 7 year old girl who was murdered over 2 years ago in Brooklyn by her mother and step-father. this story made me so angry. read below:

“Brown was allegedly tortured and killed by her stepfather, Cesar Rodriguez over a cup of yogurt and a broken printer. Her mother, Nixzaliz Santiago, allegedly ignored daughter as Rodriguez dragged her into the bathroom and repeatedly dunked her head under the cold water, and loud banging noises and screams of “Mommy” were heard throughout the apartment, authorities say. Rodriguez carried Nixzmary’s limp body into the dirty room and tossed her to the floor…

Rodriguez was charged with second-degree murder, sexual abuse and child endangerment. He was convicted of first-degree manslaughter, among other charges, and faces up to 25 years in prison. Santiago was charged with second-degree murder and child endangerment. Each accused the other of inflicting the final, fatal blow. The indictment also alleged that Rodriguez abused the little girl for months and smashed her head against a bathtub”.

according to her stepfather, she was an “out of control troublemaker”. yeah dude, i can see how a 34 pound little kid needs to be beat to death to learn her lesson.

not sure if their sentence is enough. maybe they should have been laid out in front of army tanks.

shout out to ERIN of MADE ME who hooked it up with her fresh new gear for the 08! girl, imma need some more “leg” leggings!!!

CLICK! CLACK! CLICK!

*RAUL stopped by and showed me his BAPE insole inside his OLD DOMINCAN MAN shoes.

*went to visit RUFFY, LOIC and PHILLIP. i don’t like little dogs at all. i love pit bulls, you know – the kind of dog that would eat a small dog. RUFFY on the other hand is medium sized, so he doesn’t count. also, i love him to death!

*SABEL, moi and ELLE. my Pocahantas is turning slight WILLIE NELSON.

LOTUS has to be a sort of magnetic black hole, because somehow i always find myself there. it helps knowing the people who work there as well. anyways. friday night was spent “catching up” with SABEL. and when i say “catching up” i mean, watching “out-of-towners” dance wildly to “oh what a night”. i fit in perfectly with a shoelace on my head and a flannel. it was also my boy from art school’s birthday, JAMES BLAGDEN…he was there partying.

*having fun with the “clubbers”. haha.

*THE ABSTRACT came out and was just as mortified as us.

*starting to lose my “cool”.

*TAI danced on the platform all night and didn’t break a sweat.

*CARMEN and SABEL and some dude.

*haha. drunky pants tried to start a fight with the security.

last night was great. despite the migration to miami for wmc, we had a great turn out!

*i was in full “hood chick” character, brushing out my gucci mane.

*hers was better though.

*RAUL’s jacket was so banjee.

* MANO and his cousin HOLLYWOOD HOLT came through via CHI town. lucky for me i was in my BULLS kit.

*MANO and me.

*ROBE’RE, PLAIN PATTY CAKES and MIMI.

*some 1992 friends from PARIS. they were at the PAIN O CHOKOLAT/PARIS x 1992 last year!

*you will never find a more adorable DJ duo. SURE SHOT kept the crowd doing the pepperseed and RADIO ROSE had everyone doing their best impression of BRANDY’s “I WANNA BE DOWN” dance!

*E and E.

*ELLE and MR. PINK.

*i took my ponytail out this morning. it was fun for a day

thanks to everyone who made it out!!! stay tuned for the next 1992 in APRIL which is my super sweet BIRTHDAY BASH! it will be radical!

it’s so adorable to see people imitate 1992, isn’t it. i mean, 1992 is the original 90′s party and its been coined “THE ONLY 90′s PARTY THAT MATTERS” according to Johnny Osbourne (thanks RESTATION). nuff said.
*here’s a pic of me with my baby hair pumpin’ and black nails, circa 1993. i was ghetto goth even then. i really look exactly the same. like claudia from “interview with a vampire”. you should all post a pic from around that era! come on, i want to see!

*7th grade blues. my hair was pulled so tight in a ponytail it put a permanent smile on my face.
