The Wackness


This indie film set in 1994 seem pretty cool. Its starring Josh Peck of Drake and Josh, so at first I questioned how good it could be but after looking at the good reviews I think I'll check it out. As of now it's only in select theaters but it's said to come out in all major theaters either later this month or mid August. Cast members also include Method Man, Mary- Kate Olsen, Famke Janseen, Aaron Yoo, Ben Kingsley, Jane Adams, and Olivia Thirlby. It's also said to have a really hot hip-hop soundtrack.

Queen Bees



This new reality premiered on The N last Friday the 11th. This show is actually pretty good. It chronicles eight young women who were voted on the show by friends and fam who think they are too mean. The girls are watched at every moment and are given challenges to help them change their ways. Whoever changes the most get 25 g's. Hey I sure as heck could fake a smile for 25,000. It may sound like another bad reality series, but the show is actually worth watching. For some reason it seems more genuine than other reality trash, but they probably say that about all of them. Its hosted by Americas Next Top Model, Yoanna House and features Dr. Michelle of The Tyra Banks Show. New episodes air every Friday on The N. Its too freakin bad I don't have this f'ing channel any more(darn you basic cable), but luckily all of my aunts have it so I can still tune in...lol

Epihany...Future Editor and Chief

I have been thinking for a long time that I should make a magazine. The fashion line is still in its earliest stages, but I figure I can do anything. So my newest brain child is fashion magazine devoted urban fashion/sneaker culture/ affordable style. Most of the fashion magazines out there today such as Nylon and Teen Vogue are great but mainly focus on high fashion/boho/ and trendy styles, and often neglect to honor urban style especially pertaining to women. As of now my brain child has a name and a blueprint now all it needs is to be formed. So I'm on a mission fellow fashionistas...wish me luck.
