Dear Louis: I'm no racist but...

Today I was doing my usual blog flipping and I saw this picture on Fashionista.com. In honor of the Stephen Sprouse for Louis Vuitton collection being released they're spray painting the store front to resemble the graffiti from the actual collection. Now here's where my mind began to twist. It's amazing how urban culture influences high fashion but yet "they" and the industry still shuns urban fashion as not " good enough" because it isn't vogue. The previous Sprouse collection was amazing, and I'm no racist, but I can't help but wonder if an African American designer produced a collection with graffiti spackled on every piece, would it receive the same amount of praise and hype Marc Jacobs is receiving right now, or would it flop and be condemned by the fashion police? Just wondering.

25% off discount code @ MAC.COM

Here's what I bought:

Even thought M.A.C. is on the pricey side their products really do have great results. This is the best eyeliner I've ever used. I LOVE liquid eyeliner, at first its tricky to get the hang of but once you master it, it's the sheekest thing ever. I have difficulty buying eye shadows, I always end up buying the same colors, ( browns). I've been scared to try colors because I don't know how it's going to look on my skin tone because the models on it look books are always white. So i stuck with a nice black so I can work on my "rock star" eyes. Last but not least... brow gel to hold my arches in place.. all under $50!.. thanks to that 25% off.

A letter from the editor.

Hey readers, I want to apologise for my lack of posts. I work part time and everything has been gettin pretty hectic since the holidays. You would think everything would be dead now. So again I wanna say sorry, b/c I don't want to run away any of the few readers I may have. Everything should be back to normal and running smoothly again in a few days.
