For those that don’t know my Macbook Pro’s name is Banksy Lee… Named after two artists… The graffiti great Banksy and the AMAZING comic book artist Jim Lee (STL STAND UP!) This past week The Simpsons’ intro was done by Banksy and me being the lame that I am was BEYOND excited… Check it out for yourself… The intro of course is playing on the rumors that the show is outsourcing animation to Asia… ENJOY!

I need these Marai’s in my life… Not familiar with the company? Well here’s a lil info…
“Taking inspiration from a summer spent in “Le Marais,” cofounders Catherine Chen and Haley Boyd named their company after Paris’ most eclectic district. From flamboyant transvestites to traditional rabbis, there is just about something for everyone. And that is precisely the philosophy at Marais USA. As the brainchild of two young women determined to fill a gap in the modern market, Marais USA boasts a bevy of covetable basics that won’t leave your wallet empty“ -Marais USA

So my boyfriend TOTALLY tricked me this past Sunday… I’m at the lib studying and he sends me a link to a vid via twitter. We were supposed to video chat via Skype that evening (he lives in Ohio) so he messaged me to tell me that he was on his way home. So I watch the video and I see that in the vid he alludes to a diner that I frequent that is across the street from my apartment… It finally dawns on me that HE’S IN CHICAGO! He totally surprised me… We had a great impromptu Sunday-Tuesday. I LOVE HIM! :)
Happy early Sweetest Day to me! Aren’t familiar with the holiday? It’s cool… It’s probably because you have never lived in Ohio lol. Anyway, this is me modeling the Vashtie 2s… I haven’t gotten any kicks in a while and these are the first Jordan’s to ever be designed by a woman so I figure eh… Why not? I had to support a fellow female kick lover! I’m sure I’ll have some pics of me rockin these soon so stay tuned :)
So this baby cries EVERY TIME that she hears the Michigan Fight Song! I figured this post was perfect for “College Football Saturday…" Future Buckeye perhaps? I’m thinkin so… GO BUCKS!
SONG OF THE WEEK!
Artist: Teedra Moses
Song Title: You Better Tell Her
I just don’t understand why Ms. Moses isn’t more popular… Anywho… I love this song for quite a few reasons… Hope you enjoy :)
Kanye made guys think acting like an emotional, entitled diva was cool. It is not. (c) Vashtie
THIS RIGHT HERE!!! is what I’ve been fussing about for some time now! Check out Vashtie’s blog post entitled “The Sissification of Modern Man… Fad or Epidemic?"
I WAS going to write a blog about this but the things she and her friends stated pretty much encompass everything I feel about the matter… THIS MUST END! I mean, it’s cool that men that are into fashion are now not automatically presumed to be gay, etc. but the ones that are just ridiculously emo and extra drive me bonkers. I do NOT want my man throwing hissy fits and whining over social networks! Sorry, that’s just not the kind of man that excites me… It’s becoming hard to tell between those that are genuinely interested in fashion, etc. and those that are just going along with the fad… (even though for me it’s ridiculously obvious after talking to said "posers” for a few minutes) UGH! Just be you! Anyway, vent over… READ THE BLOG NOW!

IRRESPONSIBLE WHITE PERSON WEDNESDAY!
This week’s IWP issssss… BETHANY STORRO…
Ms. Storro gets the title this week because she decided to fake an “acid attack." She claimed that someone she didn’t know (an African-American) came up to her and threw acid in her face… HOWEVER, it was later discovered that she in fact did the damage to herself… and went on a shopping spree with the $20,000+ that she received in donations.
She will be charged with second-degree theft for accepting such donations… The trial is set for December 20th… *tisk, tisk*
Now I'm in the shop class or the basket-weaving/With all the rest of them mother f*cka's/Underachieving. (c) Yeezy
These pieces were created by an artist who works in the video game industry… They’re homemade wood pieces of pixel art!
