New Orleans Flava: Tastee Donuts

Sooo I've been in New Orleans a tad more than usual lately & since i'm there because of a native I get the inside scoop on the best places to dine. Tastee restaurant, located 2549 Esplanade Avenue, New Orleans, LA, has the BEST donuts EVER!!! Now anyone who knows me knows I am a Krispy Kreme fanatic, but Tastee has taken me to another level of satisfaction. And to top it off, they offer EVERYTHING!! From soul food to your all-american hamburger, to hot sausage po-boys, to cajun favorites like shrimp & crawfish pasta, which is sooooo freakn' good! I snapped a quick pic of one side of the bakery so you guys could get a good glimpse of some of the goodies they have to offer. I also found this testimony on YouTube which is like my own personal virtual co-sign (yea, thats possible biatch)

. Big ups to Tastee, my new spot any time I pass through or visit New Orleans & once you guys get a taste you'll be hooked too! ^_^

DO NOT LEAVE NEW ORLEANS WITHOUT THIS BOX!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^

muSICK: Holy Sh!t, Tupac Was at Coachella?!

Yes, he was. Not in the flesh though because that would make him a zombie or, even better, a vampire (think True Blood not Twilight).

He performed from heaven via hologram.

Good looking out Japan! It was probably the dopest/creepiest thing that Ajia Z. and I have ever seen. It
was pretty much like seeing a ghost. However, it was still quite emotional in a celebratory way thinking about how we both grew up listening to this amazing man transcended rap into the realm of almost classical poetry. It was beautiful to see him up there performing one more time with Snoop Dogg, but still very creepy.

Of course, there are still the select stereotypically ghetto few who still think that Tupac never died and finally revealed himself to the world at Cochella. Makes you wonder though. They might not be bullsh!tting.

HUMP DAY: DUDLEY O' SHAUGHNESSY ( I mean, who cares that he has the ugliest name ever...)

Seriously, what normal person has bone structure like that?! 


Ladies, you remember him from that Rihanna video, "Who Found Love"? You know, when they did drugs, and he tattooed her ass. Yep, that's him. Dudley O' Shaughnessy. Apparently, he's a boxer/model. (I laughed a little when I wrote boxer.) He's like part Irish, African, and Hogwarts magic.  Can you believe that Ri-Ri smashed and passed this?! However, it was probably because he was prettier than her. He is scary good looking.


Lord have mercy. 



He's such a snappy dresser.



He looks nothing like Chris Brown, better even.

Tattoo Tuesday: CLEAR EYES

Yep...this man has a third eye tatted in the middle of his forehead!! This tattoo wasn't chosen simply for the art but also for the nerve!! Who is this three-eyed genius you ask? It's Marty, Medusa's (*my favorite tattoo artist of all time)hubby!! He has the spunk & is definitely intelligent enough that his physical appearance doesn't really matter. Three thumbs up for Marty!! BTW Medusa is open for business!! She is appointment only so get in or call up to get a flyy piece ASAP!! Until next time, GET INKED!!!! ^_^

muSICK THROWBACK! PENNY & THE QUARTERS

My, my, my, my, my...nobody baby but you and me.


(It almost makes me want to fall in love...almost.)


If you've seen Blue Valentine,or if you're as obsessed with Ryan Gosling as I am, then you know this song. Even though I hated the movie (not hated more like if Ryan Gosling wasn't in it, I would have really hated it), I have found myself belting out this song at random moments for the past few months since I've seen Blue Valentine, which I hated. The movie not the song. I love the song so much.

If only it were on Spotify (hint, hint).

TWF: Sarcastic Accessorizing with ADEEN.

(This would look so dope on my head.)


ADEEN is what some prissy folk like to call "an acquired taste." Obviously, they don't understand the genius of Assman, Adeen's mascot. I, personally, just think this label is dope. I mean, who thinks to put sharp ass teeth on a hat with acrylic eyes? Rembrandt Duran does.


(The Knuckles Ring with a little Assman in the middle.)


Duran's vision is like Pop meets manga meets gritty streetwear.


(ADEEN's assortment of cuffs ranging from Assman to Explosions.)


I must say, looking through ADEEN's collections...the pricing is amazing. The hats go for more, but the rings like the Knuckles ring start out at $20, and some go for even cheaper. This label is taking off, so you better get in where you fit in before hipster pricing takes effect. Just saying...


(The Assman Plush Pin that started it all.)

HUMP DAY: MICHAEL B. JORDAN

No relation to Michael Jordan the Great, even though this Jordan is still pretty good looking. Remember him from The Wire when he was a kiddie crack dealer? Right! Wasn't he adorable on that corner hustling?! That was him!

Remember him on Friday Night Lights? No. Me either. I never watched it. *Kanye shrug


(He makes those Keebler ears look sexy as hell.)

So, he was in two big movies this past new year: Chronicle and Red Tails. GO SEE THEM BOTH! Not just because he's looking all strong jaw-lined and chocolately, but because they are really good movies with him all up and through them.


(Mmmm...I bet he works out.)

Michael B. Jordan, if you're reading this, you've been officially certified smashable. As if you didn't know that already.


(He's such a snappy dresser.)
