It's gonna be a cold winter



If you thought the $10,000 Balmain Band Jacket worn by Beyonce & RiRi was something, trust me...you won't even think about applying for that AMEX card once you see the price tag of this peacoat. This is sooo dope...BUT...if I purchased this, I would probably NEVER get another piece of outerwear in my lifetime.

I get frequent flyer mileage from my stewardess chick

I'm tired of riding economy planes. I'm not really a people person so being cramped in a seat between the woman who has the purple wig and the smell of White Castle sliders on her breath...and the 65-year old stock broker who just realized that his new iPhone was the greatest creation since the wheel && won't shut up about it..isn't the right spot for me. Yeah, I wear skinny jeans, but sometimes you gotta let ya nuts breathe. I just got hip to Marquis Jets (I know I'm late..don't judge me ) Sometimes you just need to get away--meet a lot of women & do a lot of shopping. Why not do it in style? Yo Kenny Dichter, if you read my blog, HIT ME...I need my 25 hours of flight time !

Stop Lyin !

"At the Society of Automotive Engineers World Congress (SAE) in Detroit Utah-based Raser Technologies just unveiled its hybrid version of the Hummer H3 which they claim gets 100 miles to the gallon. The range-extended eco vehicle has an all-electric range of 40 miles with a hybrid 200 kW electric motor / 100 kW gasoline-powered engine. With a 90 mph top speed, off-road capability and a lithium ion-battery that's rechargeable in as little as three hours, the SUV maintains its acceleration, towing and off-road capacities. California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, a longtime Hummer enthusiast, praised the vehicle during a visit to the exhibition."

Gotta feed the fam !


T.I.'s fiancee Tiny has been GRINDIN !

"Georgia peach Tameka "Tiny" Cottle knows a thing or two about southern hospitality. The former member of the nineties female quartet Xscape will be opening Tiny's Nail Bar, a full-service nail salon replete with a full-service bar, in Stockbridge, Georgia. While enjoying relaxing manicures, pedicures and other self-indulging services such as massages, body wraps and spray tanning, the patrons will be treated to complimentary health drinks and juices."

T.I. just recently dropped his own clothing line - Akoo - So while he spends his 366 days in jail, rest assured that the $$$ will still flow into the Harris household.

Sooner or Later it all comes crashing down...


"American Apparel came this close to filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy today. The chain either had to renegotiate the terms of its loans or raise at least $16 million by today. Thankfully, at midnight the company finalized a loan of $80 million, enabling them to avoid a Chapter 11 filing, the embarrassment thereof, and immediately pay off a $51 million loan. By paying off that loan American Apparel avoids penalties and enjoys breathing room on a separate $60.6 million line of credit from Bank of America, terms of which were tied to the other loan.

American Apparel has been struggling with financing for months, despite breakneck expansion and strong sales (fourth-quarter earnings will be reported Monday — can't you hardly wait?). Since December, founder and CEO Dov Charney has been forced to make two loans totaling $6.5 million from his personal bank account to his hipster empire to keep merchandise flowing and ensure that new stores continue to open. In 2008, American Apparel opened 81 stores and last month it opened three more, for a total of more than 260 stores. And new stores are on the way in Newfoundland, Dublin, New Haven, and Dresden, Germany."
