Oh that Madge… I can’t help it, I’ve got the biggest Cheshire grin plasted above my chin right now…
“Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everybody I’ve ever known.”

The Haus sans Dada, sans Laurieann, Heavy on the Nicola… #ohnico Ian, Michael, Asiel #werethedancers
The Haus: From Government Hookers not giving a Sheibe and Paris runways getting werqed twice, from Judas and Jo Calderone to Laurie Ann overthrown, please believe we always left a key under the welcome mat for Hauskeeping to keep a humble home – if not beasted and broken in the best way known
Seventeen of 2012′s Highly Anticipated Albums to look forward to.
As much the Four Evangelists as they are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Britney, Jay-Z, Kanye, and GaGa – our proud and prestigious pillars of Pop – stood tall and held rapturous court this year as the cause and cure for our ailing culture…
I’m sitting here about to get my next tattoo at a popular tattoo shop in downtown Atlanta. This next tattoo is the one with the most meaning. It’s maktub. Maktub is Arabic for ‘it was written’. A strong, spiritual sentiment that eludes many to think of faith and destiny, all heavy religious concepts automatically once the denotation is learned. I picked up the phrase from one of my favorite books, The Alchemist. But I’m getting it tattooed on me. So, a religious thought is becoming a fashionable trivial decoration on my body. This trend is not rare in our society. I’m participating in seemingly the bastardization of a sacred world. Making things that are of God be also in vogue, no matter what the eventual results may be. Even when those results are most commonly breaking the sacred and holy.

Natalia Kills has seemed to be quite the presence overseas, and it’s truly a shame that the US has not been fully exposed to Perfectionist, her debut pop album. While she seems to take herself a bit too seriously, especially considering the type of music she is making, Natalia delivers some very solid dance-pop here.
Langston Hughes alluded to a dream shivering up when deferred, like a raisin in the sun. More inspirational is what happens when a dream isn’t deferred, but taken with all seriousness. Nobody personifies that more than designer, Stevie Boi. Once a freelance model in New York, he took his dreams in his own hands and planted the seeds that resulted in a phenomenal sunglasses line called SB Shades. Superstars like Lady Gaga, Fergie, Jeffree Starr and more have all been caught rocking his shades and Stevie Boi is now branching out to accessories and anything else he can harvest in fashion. Now, that the seed of a dream is blossoming so quickly, it’s a wonder how I got to catch up with Stevie Boi and talk Grace Jones, style, and copycats.
