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

You call that a shirt?!?!?!

So how is this sexy?
Attention whores are the best sometimes. Now I love my boobs, they are my favorite accessory. I spent so many years being ashamed of them I figured work with what I have. There's a way to do it. This shit above...not so much.
Women get dressed up for other women. I've heard that time and time again. Some women dress for men. They peacock wearing their slutty clothes, trying to get chose. Can we say daddy issues? That top would be cute with some sort of printed shirt under it but we know it's going to be rocked with a boob job and fashion tape. Ladies, we have got to do better.

Ladies and Gentlemen...PJ Morton

Our good friend moved back into town and we were really excited to hang out with him. On a Friday night, we had some dinner and went to a show. This was an amazing show. PJ Morton is a singer like no other. He sings very inspirational songs without being corny. He sings the type of love songs that are spiritual. He had grown men in the audience in tears. Moving. Touching. Encouraging.

The best song you've never heard

This is one of my favorites and almost nobody knows that I'm talking about when I mention it. They were on MC Hammer's label and we all know how that went.

Forever Sheneneh: Fashion Expiration Date

Grown ass women really need to stay out of the juniors section. Dereon, Baby Phat and Roc-a-wear are styled and cut for the young. Once you turn 25, it's time to let the kids have it. Just turn to an episode of Frankie and Neffe and see how ridiculous Frankie looks. Tucked out skinny jeans in Jordans with bright hoodies. I'm going to need her to get her Anne Taylor on. I know you can find some cute tops in the juniors section but there's not reason to have on what the mannequin does. I'm 30 and I walked about Wet Seal and FELT old. Back when it was Contempo Casuals, I used to love it but then again I was a teenager. There's nothing wrong with embracing your age and looking your age. I think my fashion options have matured with me. So stop living in the past....

Chicago-getter: Veronica Ariel

So often, we see these local designers and it's tragic. The designer can't sew or they just recycle the stuff Baby Phat did 5 or 6 seasons ago. After so many uneven seams, over embellished, cheap looking crap...here comes House of Veronica Ariel. Her pieces are fashion forward, well made and there's some care put into it. Veronica has the natural talent as well as the education to know how to pick out the right textiles and she's an excellent seamstress. Check out her business page on Facebook.
