Forever Sheneneh: High Heeled Jordans *facepalm*


For real? Seriously?

Ok when the horribleness that was high heeled Air Force 1s came out, I saw it as an opportunity to point and laugh at the less fashion savvy. The high heeled Jordans makes me want to flip over a table. I could get all deep about how people play themselves rocking fake shit. Don't fake it 'til you make it, admire it until you can acquire it. I decided against that I'd rather just make fun of these shits. I'm a Chicagoan, born and raised, and Michael Jordan is something like a phenomenon. The glory years of 90s Chicago Bulls happened during my adolescent and teenage years. I was rocking Mikes when people were getting murked for them. Yeah, it was just that serious. Mikes were not only a status thing but it was like you had a little piece of the magic. I used to love those overpriced heaps of rubber and leather a 5 year old in a 3rd world country sewn up just for me.

Not only are the high heeled Jordans ugly but you know exactly who they are marketed to. The people who cop their sneakers out of trunks of cars. The people who care more about what people think than having a quality product. The people who actually think Burberry made sweatsuits. I'm a bit of a snob, just a tiny bit. That smidgen of snob would never allow me to rock the bastardization of the best sneaker ever made. Seriously, nobody sat at a boardroom table at Jordan Brand or Nike and said "let's make something for hoodboogers to rock proudly with their 2 sizes too small Dereon jeans". I'm pretty sure that meeting didn't happen. It's crazy that they made them in pretty much every make, even my beloved 7s. Oh naw, not my 7s. Yes, even my 7s. I bet they make your feet bark after 2 seconds like all cheap ass shoes do. Why the fuck does the Jumpman logo make MJ look about 50 lbs heavier and instead of a basketball it looks like a medium pizza?

If anybody who lives in the 606** even thinks for 2 seconds about putting these shits on your feet....you need to be drug to the United Center by an angry mob and stoned with pairs of REAL Jordans. For shits and giggles check out the whole shitastical selection

Forever Sheneneh: The Lace Front Wig



Tyra and Beyonce open Pandora's box...big time. I am unfortunate enough to see lace front wigs done wrong on a regular basis. Every since they started selling them in the hood with synthetic hair, we got chicks with the same hair line as a Barbie doll. The most tragic of it all is when people apply regular wigs with front lace tape. So, there's no front lace to blend and it just looks like crap. By crap I mean this:

If you can't afford the $500+, nice front lace wigs..just stick to your regular glue in.

Forever Sheneneh: 27 Piece of My Mind



I'm going to need this 27 piece phenomenon to stop. I have nothing against weaves but at least let it look realistic and soft. I'm tired of seeing my sisters looking like Toucan Sam done perched on the top of their head. Can we also stop with everybody having the same hair style?

Hey Gina! Can we retire this symbol?




Goodness, I'm so over people throwing the 'Rock n' Roll' symbol into the air everytime they get a chance. It was officially the Hood Symbol of 2008 when Party Like A Rockstar (HATED IT) was popular...and during my last few trips to the hoodtatsic clubs, this was the default signage.

Please stop.

By the way, I like Rihanna so I'm not 'going in', just saying shes too fab for that!
