Quick Blurb: Is that Maxwell?!?

What?!? Is that Maxwell? Wow! I came across an article in WWD about showing Maxwell's new look (image from Yahoo Music Blogs). First off, where did he go and why is he appearing, all of a sudden, with a new look? Do I hear "Comeback?" Whatever the reason may be, it's about time he come back with some new sensual, sexy song that makes you want to find your lover and get some sexual healing (something we all need, to keep from being cranky, agree?) I have to say he doesn't look bad. There is something about being clean-cut that makes men look like real men. It's hot! Check out Maxwell's new album "BLACKsummers' night," dropping July 7th.

Things That Make You Drool: Women's Shoes

Can I just say that my mouth is drooling a bit?!?

Courtesy of my friend Gig (pronounced gee-g) and the Sigerson Morrison website, I am able to show you why I drool at women's shoes. The two pairs (above) are from Sigerson Morrison's Spring '09 Collection, meaning you should go and buy them. How can you resist a pair of great looking, not to mention, completely fabulous accessories for the lower extremities?

Clearly, it is apparent why HOTT shoes make straight men hot and bothered, asking women to keep them on during certain bedroom activities, and, why gay men invented the word "FIERCE!" (with two snaps of the fingers and a bend towards the back, you hags know what I'm talking about).

The design of women's shoes have so much creativity, pizazz, and sex appeal. I thought men's shoes got me going, but not more than women's. Plus, any woman who can strut their stuff in heels 4 inches and above deserves uber kudos. Work it out gurrrl!

Quick Blurb: 2009 CFDA Awards

The CFDA's have finally finished this evening in NYC. Who won?!?! (updates on 6/16)

A New Moon Has Come Upon Us

If you have not already seen this during the MTV Movie Awards, then you HAVE TO watch this trailer for New Moon. I meeean, can we say excited?!? AND can we say Jacob is ripped!

B.E.P. New CD

"The End" is the new title of the Black Eyed Peas newest album which dropped on June 9th. However, it's more like a new beginning of their new sound (which may or may not continue onto future albums). One thing is for sure, this album is definitely a new take on their original style. I'm use to hearing that creative, hip-hop sound they always delivered. The idea of autotone has definitely come back and B.E.P. is on that bandwagon that already has Lil' Wayne and Kanye West leading the way. I don't mind it so much, just as long as the tunes sound great and I can dance my a%% off! Lady GaGa uses autotone as well to bring that electro, glam rock to the clubs..and you got to love the GaGa!!! Are we returning to the 80s???

See the Scent

Quick Blog: I just had to post these because I found them adorable. These relaxing scents by Michael Aram are definitely a must have for the fall. What makes them cute are the varying covers that express the scent inside. Whether used as a candle, decorating piece, or a container (once all the wax is melted, of course), Michael has created something that has a multiple purpose, intentional or not. In any case, I love!

Cu-ote Bows!

I'm not a fan of bows unless it's a bow-tie accompanying a man's preppy boy look. However, I find these watches by Badgley Mischka really adorable and cute. As a watch and a, sort of, cute cuff, these pieces seem to have the ability to go from day to night. At first, I thought this would be cheesy, but there is just that right amount of subtleness and class that allows an individual to look quite fun and stylish. It's cu-ote!
