summer selects.

2009-05-31T20:41:00.007-05:00

i could spend hrs upon hrs flipping through fashion mags or surfing the neverending fashion blogs, yet there are a few staples that i believe are essential for the summer. sharing is caring :]

1. bangin bodysuit: reader beware. this is NOT for everyone. an interesting twist to the simple jeans and tank combo. not to be combined with anything overwhelming....keep it simple silly!

silence & noise ladderback bodysuit $38

2. bamboozled: designers are using more and more embellishments to set themselves apart from the rest: studs, jewels, and beads. these wedges have a special feature that not only makes them uber classy but naturally sassy.

Casadei Wedges $819

3. initial-ly smitten: who doesn't enjoy personalized jewelry? no, i'm not talking about the chica bonita nameplates we wore in 8th grade. im talkin grownup, classy initial necklaces a la Lauren Conrad...ADDED BONUS: me n kellee can always share....suckassssss.

Jennifer Zeuner Large Swirly Personalized Necklace $250

4. Crop is like its hot: this season, crops are making a comeback. if yer midsection is not what it should be, try it tucked into a higher waisted skirt or something structured to offset their voluminous nature. [charlotte russe $22]

5. animal kingdom: we're used to certain animals making appearances in the fashion world on clothing, jewelry, and accessories. of these, the most popular are birds, reptiles, wild felines, and butterflies. this season try your hand at the overlooked of the animal kingdom...as close to eco-friendly as it gets for me.

topshop extra large beetle tote bag $60

6. the grass is greener: i miss those days of playing outside [yes even divas touch dirt every now and then] ...running through the sprinklers, not a care in the world. but now, im 23 and its too damn hot to even get the mail...so ill live through my nail polish instead.

pop beauty nail glam in grass $14

my hiatus has finally come to an end....partly because its spring break and partly because an issue has been perturbing me for a minute. i realized there is little to no representation for males in the fashion industry. sure, men have classic style icons like michael jackson [pre-preteen fiasco] and james dean....etc. but who is the 2009 man supposed to look to for fashion inspiration? women have soooooo many style icons, it's ridiculous from the olsen twins to B [sans tina]...from kate moss to vicky B.....so on and so forth. so, i decided to devote this post to the male style icon.....candidates, requirements, and visual stimulation.....enjoy!

current candidates for male style icons:

brandon flowers [the killers]

andre three thousand

mr. pharrell williams [n.e.r.d.]

essentials of a current male style icon:

know what garments give you power. whether it be a bowtie, a interesting suit jacket, or a casual flair to a formal outfit...men should realize that certain clothes give you a persona.....a certain je ne sais quoi. for example, a simple bowtie can add quirkiness and character to a simple plain suit. (dotted black pattern bowtie, today's gentleman $16.95)
fit, fit, fit. the biggest hurdle that young men face when attempting to reach a certain level of fly.....is FIT. clothes come in different sizes for a reason: people are shaped and proportioned differently. this means...if you are 5'10 and a buck 35 PLEASE don't wear the same xxl shirt that your big cousin jayjay is wearing. on the flip side, my skinny jeans wearing males, PLEASE dont squeeze all you have in those miniscule jeans....there is something called SLIMFIT. google it. male style has a lot to do w/ tailoring clothes to fit your stature...and learning what clothes [ESPECIALLY DENIM] are made for your physique. a well-tailored suit takes the regular joe [non-plumber] to james [bond-esque]. know your measurements and follow them religiously. (richard chai, fall 09)
don't limit yourself to the basics. i always hear guys complaining about how guys have no choices. newsflash: there can be more to a guys wardrobe than t-shirts, jeans, shoes, and a nice button-down shirt. designers are realizing different realms of fashion that can be explored in a man's wardrobe....from accessories [ex.a stand alone timepiece] to high-quality outerwear [understated yet dashing coats]. so stop whining about how you don't want to look like everyone else....and start letting your appearance reflect your individualistic attitude. (watch, aldo $35, leather jacket, william rast $765)

dear reader,
i am truly grateful that i get to start off a new year doing what i love most, writing and continuing this blog that i have grown to cherish so dearly. i get excited every time there's a new post. i look forward to hearing what you have to say about what we think. and most importantly, i hold on tightly to thekommonthread that bonds not only me and kells, but every person reading.

in a time when we as a society are learning to appreciate what we have, i suddenly feel like this is my time to shine. but there's just one problem.....i'm SCARED [out of my mind]. Take my poetry for example. I have been writing poetry since the tender age of.....well 7 to be exact. it has been my outlet of emotion and my method of self-exploration. but, i always hesitate to share it with other people. I've always wanted to go perform at an open mic night or even just let other people read my work, but for some reason....some selfish part of me refuses. i get nervous. maybe they won't like it. maybe ill forget the words. maybe no one relates. maybe i'll share with them the deepest part of me and they won't get it.

so my question to you is this: for those of you who can relate at all to what i'm going through...please share with me how to overcome this. God has blessed me with another year on this earth and i'd hate to waste any gift that He has given me.

CLASH of the CAMERAS....

where two photographers [free and jeremy] have graciously agreed to take pictures of ten different things that we have requested of them. these guys have been working sooo hard to bring you monumental images......so please comment with either "free" or "jeremy" as well as your email address to cast your vote on who should be crowned the clash of the cameras winner...voting will end next tuesday (nov. 25) at midnight....thanks so much for participating...and always remember to stay tuned to thekommonthread for election results and post-contest interviews lol. CNN who?

note: free's images [ f ] will be on the top and jeremy's [ j ] will be on the bottom.

CLASH of the CAMERA[men]S

2008-10-13T22:50:00.011-05:00

here at thekommonthread, we have always tried to bring you the crème de la crème....we have a knack for seeing talent in its prime [ex. unkommonkolor]. so we present to you two very talented photographers who have graced us with the opportunity to put their talent to the test in our first ever...

[CLASH OF THE CAMERAS]

name: The REAL Jeremy Biggers
age: 27
place of residence: Dallas, TX (and surrounding areas)
camera specs: Canon XT
blog url: http://www.jeremybiggers.blogspot.com,
3 words that describe you as a photographer: "what's this button?"
your dream photoshoot involves: 14 bottles of Elmer's glue, two midgets and some hot air balloons full of phonebooks

name: FREE
age: 20
place of residence: Houston,TX
blog url: http://www.theycallmefree.blogspot.com

3 words that describe you as a photographer: Energetic, Vivid, and GOOD! lol
your dream photoshoot involves: Barack Obama's Inauguration

HOW THIS WORKS: we will post 10 different things that both photographers will have to shoot. they have the same amount of time [until next friday] to turn in this "portfolio" to us...at that time we will post those pictures side by side so that YOU [our dedicated readers] can vote on who you think deserves to be crowned winner of the CLASH of the CAMERAS.

unlike the upcoming election... there will be no name calling, questionable running-mate choices, nor plumbers named Joe. only pure talent and an opportunity for these two young men to show us what they've got......so stay tuned and be prepared to VOTE [as if you don't hear that 100 times a day already].

kommonthread krave

2008-09-16T08:59:00.013-05:00

so, i'm sitting here [post-IKE] and feeling very blessed to be in good health, position, and mind so i thought....what better to do that to post on thekommonthread? i know i have been a very neglectant mother to my baby [the blog for those who don't understand SYMBOLISM ...please i don't need any pregnancy rumors.] but when life gives you lemons....make lemonade! well here's a couple things that have been burning a hole in my thoughts...PLEASE COMMENT so i won't think i'm crazy for yearning after fall accessories and a movie full of 40 year olds. enjoy!

1. SATC...need i say more? [release date 9/23] yeah and i don't need all that hoo-hah aka bonus features and extended bloopers along with the soundtrack. i just want my patricia field manipulated fashion and that is all.....for the low, low price of $16.86

2. psychedelic print shrooms arent the only thing that can make your life groovy....watercolor and tie dye are revived in bright, bold color combinations. [note: i would definitely loose the 5th-grade front tie and replace with a hard-core rocker belt to balance the femininity and masculinity of the fit] Eloise Chiffon Dress $24.80

3. braid my hair doesn't matter if they're a la nicole richie...or lc....braids are the no-nonsense way to add romance and glamour to your everyday 'do.

4. yellow nail polish simply put...sunshine on a cloudy day [no pun intended]. Sephora by OPI in Cab Fare $9

5. boot/sandal hybrid the only case where the hybrid looks BETTER than the original Tina Buckle Ankle Bootie $169

6. political tee in case you have been living under a rock...one of the toughest decisions in our generation's history is about to take place in less than 2 months. i just like this tee cuz it says what it needs to without plastering obama's face on the front. 'Hope is the new black tee' $14.50

7. skin is in whether it be crocodile or snake......animal planet has a whole new meaning to fall fashionistas. BDANIELA in purple croco $68 or Leather Snake Clutch in green leather $60

8. statement watch do what u do but watch my......well timepiece. watches that look like they were borrowed from your boyfriend/ grandpa/ any other non-feminine male.....are totally...worth your time. Nixon Kensington watch $129.95

9. [non-slutty] school girl blazer well i had to wear uniforms throughout my k-12 experience...however..our attire never looked so fab! gossip girls glamour with a touch of military this jacket gets an A++ from me. Midge Jacket in heather grey $98

10. flowers in my hair whether its one small daisy or a headfull of roses, flowers in your hair are a good way to step up the romance of an outfit as well as serve as an alternative to the pocahontas/hippie headbands of summer.

ok imma stop now...i think i'm losing brain cells from staring at the pc and the lack of education due to the aftermath of ike. but i am definitely too blessed to be stressed. hallelujah hollaback!

oh man.

2008-08-05T17:41:00.004-05:00

[a poem prompted by the MTTM line of "Men are the new women" and a conversation with kellee]

have men and women switched roles?
i ask myself as i take a mental poll
why do i always feel like i'm in control?
isnt the man supposed to be head of household?
why do i have to approach him...
when i am what HE wants?
and the fortune that he flaunts
is reminiscent of a church lady’s hat
a sorry attempt to distract
the inadequacies beneath all that.

Its called gossip girls, not gossip men
But you kiss and you tell and you trade and then
Have the nerve to get mad at your girl-stealing friend
reenact what you tivo-ed on oxygen
takes notes on the game as i watch FSN.
Last time I checked u weren’t a white chick
if it's not your wayan, you throwin a bitch fit
When you pee, do you wonder “do I stand or I sit?”
is your name Bridget Jones, cuz you blog to talk shit...

A real diva's dialect, but I digress
It’s hard to wear the pants AND a freak um dress
But it’s not about who’s good, better, or best.
It’s not a competition, more like a complication
When the separation of sex begins to be blurred
should we go back to the way it was....
or has the new age become the new way?

discuss.

SOREAL cru...

2008-06-26T09:11:00.003-05:00

so i know MTV is not notorious for its quality television shows [examples: a shot @ love, thats amore, etc.] but there is one show that has me glued to the set....America's Best Dance Crew

the show has a very simple premise....crews from all over the great US of A to compete against each other for a cash prize and bragging rights of being the best crew in all of America. Now ordinarily...this would definitely get passed up for a good ole cookin show [in my hungry opinion] but there's a reason for my 300+ votes:

.SOREAL CRU.

Now i am not one to play favorites....but goshdarnit....im going to! Here's the reasons you should vote/support them:

1. They are from Houston. Usually not a good reason to support anything [lmao] but why not help houston get on the map for something other than sippin drank and the rockets [who won a million games in a row to lose in the first round of playoffs]

2. They are good. Why vote for some loser crew just because you're from the bay area and they are too? Decide for yourself. Go visit SOREAL CRU's myspace [full of videos/pics]

3. cuz i said so.....when has bo$$lady ever done you wrong? i give you good advice on what to wear, kellee kells lets you know whats good to jam to, and we offer REAL TALK on this blog.....this is NO DiFFERENT. make mama proud..

SO.......watch MTV on thursdays [i should get paid for this!] & vote for SOREAL CRU...[by the way u can vote online after the show sooooo no complaints about text messages cuz you can vote while you comment on fb pics lol]

lets talk GHETTO...

i found this shirt in NORDSTROMS of all places and was a lil perturbed once I thought about B.P.'s target market which lets face it does not include young African American tweens & teens.

i know for one I absolutely HATE [k thats a lil harsh] strongly dislike when ppl who never grew up in the hood refer to something as ghetto!!!

hence the phrase i normally hear from a suburban born and raised barbie or ken...

"thats soooo gheTTO!!" um how would you know??

did ya'll know that white college kids actually have ghetto parties aka pimps & hos parties aka gansta parties complete with fried chicken, malt liquor & faux gangster apparel!!

and to top it off they normally throw these parties on MLK day!! The guys dress up in wife beaters, gold chains, fake grills and hats turned backwards while the girls basically go for the most revealing clothing possible as if that ish is cute!!!!

im sickened by the society in which we live

and even more so at the buyers for nordies' b.p. dept!!!

how do you feel???

IM BOUT TO WRITE A LETTER!!!! like the white ppl do!!

2008-05-19T09:39:00.004-05:00

quick apology for our readers on our absentee-ism >> ya girl has been REALLY busy, but enough of that...lets get down to the nitty gritty...shall we?
well, if u guys were at the kanye concert you may/may not have recieved the little book that is "Thank You and You're Welcome" a short book of insights and commentaries by Mr. West himself and some person named J. Sakiya Sandifer. but this is NOT a book report....

so i read the little 6x6 book mainly because: one, the colors are pretty and two, i def have never taken anything kanye has ever said seriously [& was wondering if this was gonna be another one of those times]. but some of the points really did jump out at me...especially this missing banister theory. basically it reads...

"When walking down the street, you can walk in one line perfectly without ever falling over. Now take that same city block, make it a foot wider and the put it a hundred stories high. You're going to be so focused on the fact that you don't have a banister, that you're more likely to fall because of it.
When you're so focused on what you don't have...you won't have!"

we all have times that the bad so extremely outweighs the good...that there seems to be no sunshine in sight. but it's how you react in those times [where your focus is] that can ultimately help you rise up. seems preachy....yes. BUT, there will be people in life that continue to focus on what they don't have...it's inevitable. but the people who CHOOSE to set their minds on higher ground are those that have the much greater chance of planting their feet on something solid. it is in our nature to feel defeated and mistreated, but the same confidence that you have in the good times, should be the same confidence with which you address and overcome the bad times.

Is it always easy to focus on our blessings? If a person has always focused on the missing banister...what are the chances they can change? Which type are you...?

2008-04-16T19:02:00.004-05:00

so i was watchin the Tyra Banks Show again [sometimes her topics are boring...but sometimes they're veryyyy interesting] anywho, they were discussing love, sex, and relationships and one of the things they discussed was "phone call rules"

how long is the woman/man supposed to wait after the initial meeting to call the person?
why is a text message more acceptable/comfortable when talking to someone new?
does a guy like it when the woman takes the initiative to make the first call?
should there be any rules at all?

my personal take on the matter is...if a guy gives me his number....i usually text him my number and wait for him to call me...the thrill of the chase if u will. HOWEVER, if i give a guy my number and he calls me right away [within the first 24 hours]...i presume him to be too anxious & sometimes desperate.

do guys even pay attention to time constraints and underlying showcases of masculinity...or do they just call the girl when they have time/feel like it?

talk yer ish.

2008-04-16T18:32:00.008-05:00

every so often my daily wardrobe choice stems from a fashion inspiration that i see on a runway. HOWEVER, i am definitely not modelesque, so i have to alter the look to fit my petite 4'11 (i recently found out i am NOT 5 ft....tragic!) figure. sooooo, i love this line called Etro (by Veronica Etro, shes ONLY 25...but her whole family has been in the fashion industry doing menswear, home accessories, etc.)....she features bright neon tribal pieces with fitted, tailored pieces as well as studded belts, gladiator sandals, and vibrant accessories.

so here's my interpretation of the Etro aesthetic:

Stretch Neon Boy Tee (Wet Seal $6.50)
Scarf (thrifted $2.99)
High Waisted Navy Shorts (Forever 21 $17.80)
Woven Brown Belt (thrifted $2.99)
Studded Gladiator Sandal (F21 $19.80)

how do u think i did? is it hard for you to translate runway to real way?

the ultimate showdown,

2008-04-12T22:09:00.002-05:00

Before there was Ultimate Fighting Championship, the NFL, and thumb wrestling, there has been a battle seldom discussed by our generation. This ongoing fight lies within all females, the urge to venture into one domain rather than the other makes us become categorized as one or the other. I, on the other hand feel I have a perfect mixture of both within myself. What am I talking about? The battle between the seductress and the girl next door, the ultimate showdown between good and bad...if you may.

The seductress is that girl that all eyes go to as soon as she steps in the room. Her eyes are haunting and her power to draw men to her lie in her glowing skin and perfectly pouted lips. She is the untouchable to mediocre men and all women look to her as the definition of sexy. (ex. Angelina Jolie)

The girl next door smells like freshly baked cookies and giggles so sweetly it makes your teeth hurt. Her innocence and down-to-earthness make her a welcomed invite to grandma's house. Her dimples are bottomless and her walk has more bounce than Tigger. (ex. Cameron Diaz)

so my question is....who wins in the end? do guys prefer one over the other? & for those who know me....which one do u think i most closely resemble?

So I was the Tyra Banks Show while flipping between Sex and the City reruns and the Rockets/Timberwolves game (Hou 97 Min 86....wooooooooo) & the title of the show caught my eye:

"Sibling Birth Order Controversy"

So the whole premise behind the show was birth order and how it can affect a person's personality and characteristics. So naturally, me being the baby and only girl in my family...this was very interesting to me because i feel like i fall right into the exact "mold" of the baby of a family....so ya girl did a little research into "birth order" n this is what i found. (an article by Dr. Kevin Leman)

Only-borns
Positives: Only-borns are the mega-movers of the world. They are task-orientated; tend to be extremely well organized, highly conscientious and dependable. They are keen on facts, ideas and details and feel extremely comfortable with responsibility.

Negatives: The negative characteristics of only-borns can be tough to handle. They are often unforgiving, very demanding, hate to admit they're wrong and usually don't accept criticism well. To others, they seem very sensitive and indeed, their feelings are easily hurt.

First-borns
Positives: They are natural leaders and often high achievers. The majority of politicians, spokespersons and managing directors are first-borns. They frequently live with a sense of entitlement and even superiority. They often come in two flavours: compliant nurturers/caregivers or aggressive movers and shakers. Both are in control; they just use different methods. As a rule, first-borns are picky, precise people - they pay attention to detail - tend to be punctual, organised, and competent. They want to see things done right the first time. They don't like surprises.

Negatives: They are often moody and occasionally lack sensitivity. They can be intimidating, particularly by pushing people too hard or refusing to take no for an answer. Sometimes they can be a bit 'know-it-all', and often they are poor at delegating - largely because they don't trust other people as much as they trust themselves. They also tend to be bossy, perfectionists and overly-conscientious.

Middle-Borns
Positives: The classic middle-born is very relational, tends to be a people-pleaser and usually hates confrontation. Their basic need is to keep life smooth and their motto might be 'peace at any price'. They are usually very calm, will roll with the punches and are amiable, down-to-earth and great listeners. They are skilled at seeing both sides of a problem and eager to make everybody happy. That makes them good mediators and negotiators.

Negatives: They tend to be less driven than first-borns, but are much more eager to be liked - or at least be happy with them. They have a difficult time setting boundaries. They can drift into becoming 'co-dependent' as they try to please everybody. They are not good at making decisions that will offend others. They also tend to blame themselves when others fail.

Last-Borns
Positives: Last-borns are the world's cheerleaders. You have strong people skills and love to entertain and talk to others. You make friends easily and immediately make others feel at home. You're an extrovert, energised by the presence of other people and you're probably not afraid to take risks.

Negatives: Last-borns tend to get bored quickly. They have a strong fear of rejection and a short attention span. When the fun stops, they've had enough and want to check out. To some extent they're self-centered. They may harbour unrealistic expectations of finding a relationship that is always fun - and of course, such relationships simply do not last.

WOW, all SOOOOOOOOOOOO true in my case....seriously to the T. So which child are you....and do you think birth order is really legit and has a serious impact on who you are.....or just a bunch of croc?

if i were.....

2008-02-22T00:07:00.005-06:00

what if u could reincarnated into a shoe? would you be a miu miu gladiator platform sandal or a pair of steel toed boots? this is my short list of how i would reappear on this earth...

-a couture dress (this Ralph Lauren gown combines the male strength of a lumberjack plaid while still managing to make the model look flawlessly feminine. perfect balance!)

-a pair of sneakers ( theses CLAW MONEY vandals SCREAM fabulosity...the color scheme FiERCE and the peacock feathers add just the right amount of cockiness)

-a dessert: tiramisu it is soaked in coffee liqueur and has a slight bitter taste at first, but its delectability is undeniable. like myself, tiramisu is an acquired taste.

-a book: Nina Garcia's "Little Black Book of Style" the LBD [little black dress] never goes out of style, neither will this book written by one part of the trio of judges on Project Runway.

what items would you come back as? a tupac album? an athlete's lucky draws? a french manicure?

otay kommonthreaders lemme introduce my guh Tori Lee...

this piece you're about to read is her work...ENJOY!!!

she calls it: DEEP [go figure!!! lol!]

when life was care free

i loved real deep

now i know pain

so i take guard before i leap

not ashamed to say

i dont trust my opponent

too many games and not enough rules

i hardly face the real

the fake constantly blocks my view

no excuse fits my case

i just really need my space

hardened by foul plays

bitter against childish ways

sweet tear drops leave my face

what more can I say

you hurt me in the worst way

watched my fall

and made me your prey

lifeless I laid

but now it’s okay

just can't stand without a crutch

have to lean on my anger

that’s what holds me up

when life was care free

i loved real deep

now I know pain

so I take guard before I leap

4.Complex

valentine's victims

2008-01-31T17:57:00.001-06:00

it is all too often that men are underappreciated and overlooked. however, there is one time of year that this happens in mass quantities...our men are belittled into tiffany's giving, rose hunting, hallmark maniacs: to please US on valentine's day. so this valentine's day i would like to do my part in making this world a better place by giving back to MANkind. Here's some tips for the ladies on how to make this loveeeeeeeeeely day for the man in your life.

1. home cookin'
i know yer tired of eating 2 for 89cent tuesdays at popeye's, but NEWSFLASH so is he! take out your cookbooks, all your hamburger helpers, and a quick prayer that you won't burn down HIS house and git to cooking! pick meals that are do-able and don't forget dessert. the way to his heart is through his tummy.....buhlieeeeeee that!

2. give it some thought
when have u ever thought about what HE likes, what HE wants to do, where HE wants to go. zone in on his hobbies and desires & fulfill one of them for valentine's day. Example: if your man likes to watch basketball but u can't stand watching a game. get him some rocket's tickets and accompany him. it's payback for the zillion times you dragged him to every girly store in the mall.

3. Nixon Metal Atom watch $140
if u are gonna go the safe "buy him a watch" mindset, have the decency to get him something that is equivalent to your juicy couture dreams. remember vday is about expressing your love...how can u expect to get "gucci purse" love if you only show "marshall''s tie" love in return? its not being materilistic...it's being REALISTIC.

4. Sony - Fontopia Ear Bud Headphones - Black $24.99
some simple black headphones for his ipod so he can listen to the new keyshia cole cd without being judged by his homies. [for your man's sensitive side needs]

5 Pitch his tent.
[literally] take your man on a secret camping getaway or something away from the hustle & bustle of daily life. just bring the OFF! & some marshmellows & u got yourself s'more lovin soon to come!

If all else fails, macaroni pictures are always a sure-fire way to win any real man's heart.

ode to kellee kells:
well as u all SHOULD know...today is a VERY special day...my patna in crime is turnin 20!!! so i thought id take a moment, just sit right there, ill tell u all bout the girl w/twisty hair:

in addition to being one of the realest females i've ever met, kellee has been a monumental addition to my life [FOREAL]. in a time when i was questioning my friendships with a lot of ppl kellee proved that a true friend sticks around when you're in your lowest point and is there to celebrate w/ you in your highest hour. she is definitely a GO GETTTA, there is NO betta...and with that same attitude she motivates the ppl around her to do better. without her there is no kommon thread... just regular a$$ thread, the brown kind that no one uses to do anything except hem old ppl's pants. but anyways, i digress. lol, why do i feel like im giving a wedding toast or something? anyways...kellee, not only are u EXTRA FABULOUS, but you're the best best friend i could ever ask for...n i hope u get errething you want for your birthday [besides me jumpin out tha cake...its toooooo damn cold for all that!] loveloveloveeeeeeeeeeeee you lady! happy birthday kells.

til we birthday again,
bo$$lady.

HAPPY MY DAY!!!

rain, rain go away

2008-01-21T17:45:00.000-06:00

"I've got sunshine

On a cloudy day

When it's cold outside,
I've got the month of May."

lucky USSSS [houston] we get RAIN every day this week...which is definitely not something i look forward to! nonetheless, i will take this opportunity to speak on rainy day necessities.believeeeee me, just because it's raining, it does not give ppl an excuse to dawn weave-protecting grocery bags, wear "school bus" yellow ponchos [circa 5th grade], or stop your daily lives just to avoid a lil H2O.

note: this list does not include: umbrellas & hoodies for the simple fact that this is thekommonthread not thekommonsense.

1. Patent leather for the weather

serena dunks [sold out everywhere]

This was inspired by a young chap i saw in the mall...i wish i had my camera on me cuz ol' boy had two plastic bags wrapped around his sneakers...like HEB rainboots.that was totally uncalled for...don't u agree?? soooo...my rainy day attire usually consists of patent leather forces [fly and functional]. it's a great alternative to rainboots & are really easy to clean and maintain through the rain. if mariah can make it, so can we.

2. ready to head out

kr3w fitted [ccs.com] $30
the number one mistake of females when its raining is trying to look TOO cute. c'mon we all know what rain + humidity + moisture do to your do. so call it a day and get FITTED. not only is it a good way to hide that hair, this fitted comes in a hotttt royal blue adorned with our favorite letter: K.

3. something to warm the heart

i will never understand why there are such grumpy, groggy, badly-dressed people lurking the malls/highways/etc. on rainy days. a sure-fire way to give u a lil kick in your step and sway you for hibernating for the week: a lil starbucks. According to a study by Vanderbilt University, coffee can lower your risk of diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and colon cancer, lift your mood and treat headaches and lower your risk of cavities

my personal choice: white chocolate mocha, w/soy, 5 pump yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

4. give it some time
when its raining outside, give yourself some extra time to get where you're going. accidents, angry road rage, and splashing water on helpless pedestrians is def NOT a good look.

5. if all else fails, stay @ home and read thekommonthread

if you can't BEAR to step foot outside when its raining, at least be productive & upgrade yerselves. read our blog and commentcommentcomment. you bring sunshine to OUR rainy days :]

until we blog again,
bo$$lady

p.s. some cute rainy day earrings [available @ fredflare.com] set of 4 pairs for $16

KISS KISS

2008-01-21T10:47:00.000-06:00

i never thought in a million yrs id pay $125 for a chris brown concert but b/c i love my lil cousin i decided to pay up and try to enjoy the show from the 5TH ROW!!...now i for one adore chris brown but the rest of the line up i couldve gone w/o!!!! i must say chris has a charming, innocent boy appeal but the new cd is laced with grown man lyrics. awh him growing up!!! aite so the show went a lil something like this....

Lil Mama- missed her stuck in traffic...YEA!!!

doesnt she look like the girl version of bow wow??!! u decide for yourself?

Sean Kingston- missed him too finding parking (shout out to the white boys that gave us vip parking passes) ...sean is too damn big to be singing them friendly ass songs!!! so did ya'll peep rick ross & dj khaled in his lastest video???...so is it ok fa thugs to listen to his music now??

Soulja Boy Tellem- well as much as i hoped id miss this "performance" we arrived right on time..DAMNIT TO HELL!!! so i suffered thru a slew of songs id never heard before and then he hit us with the big one...yep! u guessed it!! "Crank That"...bull!!! he even took his shirt off at one point..i dont recall when i think i was a lil disorientated by all the loud colors and those horrible shades he dons!! oh and yes lets not forget the cameo appearance from Lil Will with Dallas' current theme song "My Dougie"...i must admit i do hit that ho when it comes on but then its back to norm once the song ends because i have to look at the person who performs the songs...another a disaster!!

SHOUT OUT!!! to e.mike @ http://ericmike.blogspot.com/ check that boy owwwwtt!!

Bow Wow- umm i really dont have much to say except how old is he...im sorry but its about time fa his old ass to retire...no seriously...him & omarion!!...im ashamed at just how many songs i knew from over the yrs but then he got to the new stuff and i didnt feel so bad after all...the lil girls surrounding me almost lost their virginity right on the spot when LITTLE bow wow ripped off his tiny tee!! HILARIOUS!!!
Chris Brown- gave a good show only after he went thru an almost ten min long skit promoting FORD's new technology SYNC...i wonder if its all its cracked up to be?? anywho i felt like a teeny bopper again...all googly eyed, salivating and such...until i took a second to really listen...Chris sounds like a ten yr old boy!!! but imma let him slide wit his cute ass!!

well i played photographer for the nite and these are some shots i got

my camera is pretty shitty so they couldve been better

oh well...one day ill shell out the moolah for a new one

me & my lil cuz Bonnie
