news: BLACK PARENTS – WHITE BABY (NOT ALBINO)

“Nmachi Ihegboro and her husband Ben (apparently) managed to conceive a white, non-albino child without any of the normal adultery. Surprised geneticists are speculating that both parents must have had some white ancestry, which by a complicated scientific process called “magic” caused their baby to be a white baby instead of a black baby. Science is amazing.”

ok, despite my masculinity – i have female parts and that means i am more than partial to the movie “THE NOTEBOOK”. i spotted mister RYAN GOSLING via STYLE.COM, sitting courtside at a LAKERS GAME?! he should be a KNICKS fan, despite the fact that they have sucked for the entire duration of my life. also, i’m not sure why him being an LA LAKER fan makes him ANTI-NEW YORK/KNICKS, but i didn’t make the rules. maybe i just wanted to blog about “THE NOTEBOOK” it makes me sob to the point that i need to be consoled (and i don’t like people touching me in normal life).

AND…i just found this out, but am i the only one completely sad that he and ALLIE HAMILTON (RACHEL MCADAMS) are no longer the item we wanted them to be? what is the world coming to?!

news: VLADIMIR MY KITTY IS USING THE TOILET (i shit you not)

i ordered CITIKITTY, this PURR-FECT product (haha) that trains your kitty to use the toilet with a litter tray that sits in your toilet. week after week, you remove a perforated ring until the tray is no longer needed. within weeks, he went from a litter box (gross) to the toilet (yay). he also keeps the seat down, because he’s a gentleman.

how-it-works

*he had an accident once on one of my favorite pillows, which was not really his fault since the bathroom door was closed and when i sleep i throw my pillows on the floor because i just hate when my neck is propped up too high.


*this is not my kitty, but a trained CITIKITTY on youtube.

news: VIOLETTE WINTER 2009 HAS ARRIVED…

_DSC1484

For Violette’s Winter 2009 Release you will find a line of tees inspired by HOOD KIDS that are in tune with GOTH STYLE. It’s a mix of opposite worlds, “the projects meets the ‘burbs”. It’s that kid from Brooklyn who listens to THE SMITHS, wears a black trench coat, but still rocks Jordans. That hood girl with a doobie, black lipstick and Doc Martens…

Simply titled “GHETTO GOTH”, this season is devoid of color and complication using only a black and white color palette.

_DSC1204

Featuring a special collaboration with DEE & RICKY, VIOLETTE is releasing a limited edition LEGO CROSS in black or purple via the website VIOLETTENEWYORK.COM. Hand made in New York City, only 45 were created.
