2010 Oscar Style

5 Comments

The 2010 Oscars came and went, but the fashion is still all the rage. I can’t rank my favorite dressed celebrity because my top selections found dresses that fit THEIR personal style. So, I’m going to tell you what I liked about each of them.

Sandra Bullock’s overall look was well put together. She looked old Hollywoodesque with a hint of drama hence the red lips. I love how the lace goes into the fabric. The color doesn’t wash out her skin tone.

Nicole Ritchie is know for being bohemian chic and her dress fell right in line with her style. Very rarely do we see someone successfully wear long sleeves on the red carpet but Ritchie has definitely changed that.

ReneeWoods Hump Day Rant

ReneeWoods Hump Day Rant

It’s your girl ReneeWoods and before I begin this rant about nothing I would like to say Happy Hump Day to all of my crabz trying to get up out that barrel and through the rest of this beautiful week.  Now that I got all that corny ish out of the way let me just say METRO can kiss my little skinny ass. Their escalators never ever work and for someone who never works out getting up those escalator stairs is quite the challenge. I almost had a heart attack when I climbed the escalator this morning. I was so tired midway through it I contemplated just standing there for an hour so I could get my second wind back.

And who the fukk is cleaning those seats????? Is anyone cleaning those seats at all?? Now I don’t know if anyone else has noticed but those seats look like they have marinated in the garbage. I know this is not Metro’s fault but I am sick of listening to bad azz crying about nothing azz snotty nosed azz kids on my way home from work. That ish is for the birds like for real people put a muzzle on your children because people don’t want to hear that when they are coming home from work and school. Alright yall that is all I had to rant about and I hope everyone has a beautiful rest of the week:)

Willie The Kid released a new mixtape entitled The Cure. Someone needs to find a cure to all this whackness. The game needs to get back to where it needs to be and with substance folks.

DJ Woogie and Willie Kid – The Cure (Mixtape)

Here’s another mixtape he did awhile back. He did his thing over 13 Outkast tracks. This dude has talent people. One of my many I listen to on a daily.

Gordo Brega is one of ReneeWoods favorite DMV rappers!  Even before she ever heard his rap, she predicted that he was a beast! She was right, in fact he’s a MONSTER.  I am very impressed and I’m so proud of the DMV; we are on the cusp of something HUGE!  Studio 43 has done it again, this Monster of a track confirms it!  Shouts to BuBu who produced the track.  Download/Stream Gordo Brega Monster.

One of the original crabz that we’ve wanted to blow XO just dropped his third video of the album ONE ONE TEN.  I’m in love the with video! It’s shot in the streets of the D.C. and is really visually stimulating, it keeps you watching! Shouts to Studio 43 and 1st Impression for this one.   Good look…no GREAT LOOK!  In case you haven’t already: Download XO-ONE ONE TEN.

Not so Indie

T.I.- I’m Back

T.I. is ATL’s hometown hero and he will be released from a halfway house later this month.  But since his release from prison he’s been hard at work in the studio making new music and fans can expect his album to drop on August 24.  T.I. will also be releasing the first movie produced by his studio Grand Hustle Films on August 20th.

I remember the first song I ever heard from T.I. circa 2001/2002 off of I’m Serious.   The crabzinabarrel would have never guess the  trap boy would blow up and become a mega star, even after doing a little bid.

Download T.I. I’m Back. Nuff said.

Balmain RTW Fashion Show 2010

By Manda J

While NY fashion week took place in February, it’s still fashion week somewhere in the world! Right now it’s the City of Lights (Paris for those who don’t know) fashion week. European style is very different from American style. Europeans tend to be more trendy and sophisticated. On the other hand American style tend to be very practical and girl next door.

Balmain, designed by Christophe Decarnin, recently showed it’s Fall RTW 2010 line. The items in the line have Beyonce’s and Rhianna’s name written all over it. There’s a different spin on the military jacket. Brocade jackets long and short are a trend in this line. Here are some of the pieces I loved. Just thought I’d share.
