So the new kid on the block, Drake, has been featured in GQ Magazine talking about the importance of the different collars on dress shirts. One of my biggest pet peeves with men is a baggy collared shirt. That is sooo tacky. Especially the “thugs” who try to dress up….yes I see that you are trying, but go an get measured and get the correct size. Shirts with baggy collars and extra long sleeves are not in the least bit appealing. So fellas take notes from Drake and GQ.

Check out the new video from Wale and you tell me who is missing?
I am not referring to Gucci Mane, I’m referring to dark skin females! I actually like Wale and his music, but seriously how can you have a song called “Pretty Girls” and not reflect a diverse group of pretty girls. I did not see one girl that was dark skin. So are you saying light skin, Hispanic lookin women are the only one’s that are pretty. There were like literally 2.5 medium brown chicks, but come on Wale…dude you are quite BLACK and you can’t reflect your own complexion in the video? This is bogus. This is why so many girls have low self-esteem now, because the are not perceived as being beautiful in the media. Videos like this make my job 10 times harder. I do commend him for having a variety of sizes, but clearly there was definitely a lack of representation for the pretty dark skin girls. Wale we need to do better.

Daddy…lol that was really corny I know but I had to do it lol. Here is Usher’s new video “Daddy’s Home” which will be on his new album “Raymond vs. Raymond” scheduled for release March 30th.
Usher is definitely back. You can definitely tell he has grown up, but he can still dance his behind off! Oh and how can I forget the flyness….he is definitely in the Top 5 best dressed male celebrities.
The earthquake in Haiti has caused an insurmountable amount of damage. Haiti is already one of the poorest places in the world and to have this type of catastrophe is extremely devastating. My prayers go out to those of you who have lost loved ones or are unable to reach your family members. Yes this is a very traumatic experience, but maybe with all of the relief effort, Haiti can rebuild and become better than what it was. For information on how you can help contribute to the relief efforts please visit www.redcrossblood.org
“We are not accepting volunteers to travel to Haiti. If you would like to volunteer for the American Red Cross, please contact your local chapter. For inquiries about relatives living and who have citizenship in Haiti, please be patient and call repeatedly until the lines clear or contact other family members who live nearby. Telephone, Internet and other communication lines are often disrupted in times of disaster. People trying to locate U.S. citizens living or traveling in Haiti should contact the U.S. Department of State, Office of Overseas Citizens Services, at 1-888-407-4747 or 202-647-5225.”
You can help the victims of countless crises around the world each year by making a financial gift to the American Red Cross International Response Fund, which will provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need. Donations to the International Response Fund can be sent to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, D.C. 20013 or made by phone at 1-800-REDCROSS or 1-800-257-7575 (Spanish) or online at www.redcross.org.
Wyclef Jean has also began relief efforts. yesterday he took to Twitter asking everyone to text “YELE” to 501501 and $5 will be charged to your phone bill.
This is our chance to make a change and help those in need.
Yesterday someone retweeted a post from blogger Blogxilla titled “A Man Will Cheat If A Woman Doesn’t Understand These 8 Things” (Click Here to read) and as I read the article I asked myself where do these type of men hangout so I can stay FAR away from that place. I won’t address every point but there were a few that just really bothered me so here they are and my responses.
Just because I want to give your home girl hard p*** in the bathroom of a club doesn’t mean I will. – Ladies if you have a pretty friend it’s only nature that a man would want to do her. He probably thinks damn I would do x y and z to her and put her pink fuzzy panties on my head and let her take pictures of me, but then again I would never do anything to lose my boo, because I love her.
If you truly “loved your boo” you would not have any reason to lust after her friend. Granted lust is a part of human nature, but come on don’t use that as an excuse. If you think about the act has already been committed in the heart so that is just as bad. This is a Maury/Jerry Springer situation waiting to happen
I will look at women on the internet, deal with it. God bless Rosa Acosta, Bria Myles, Kitty and the other video vixens. A woman should understand that this is the internet age, and women send sexy twitpics, facebook and myspace profile pics and all of that. As a man I am programmed to look at them and say things like Damn! Whoa! And OhMiGosh!
Who is your programmer? They need a smack to adjust the battery and wires in your back. Don’t use the internet as an excuse for this type of behavior. If any man does this blatantly in front of his girlfriend or not it is just disrespectful. I hate when break their necks to look at a female. Yes we are all beautiful, but come on, you’ve never seen a big butt? You’ve never seen breast? Stop acting like 14yr old boys. Don’t blame the internet age on getting twitpics…if it is known that you are in a relationship then you should not accept or open any twitpics or myspace messages because its obvious the skanky woman doesn’t have respect for your partner and by you making this excuse it shows that you don’t either.
I will give my boys cover from cheating, advice on how to cheat and be an excuse for them if they need me too. You got a few hoe friends too again you should understand… but I know you won’t, and I fully understand if you don’t like him, but we will still hit the strip club and go out for drinks. I will always love you.
I guess decency just went out of the window…If you will do it for him he will do it for you so why should I trust you? I know people are going to say that’s loyalty, but whenever someone tries to put me in a situation like that I say I don’t want to get involved. If you are doing your dirt don’t try to makek me an accomplice.
At this point I’m like this has got to be a joke until I got to the last point which I actually agree with…
I have no clue what you’re talking about unless you’re upfront and direct with me. – Women give too many hints and quite simply men don’t do hints we are direct and we beat around the bush when we don’t want to talk about a subject.
Sometimes, well most of the time, we do beat around the bush and never state our wants, needs, or concerns directly. Men are not mind readers and we cannot expect them to use their “psychic powers” to try to please us so ladies be upfront and state exactly how you feel and fellas try to listen.
His closing argument was pretty decent, but still 7 out of the 8 things were just ridiculous. Blogxilla states “
There are a million more things men need women to know, but hey… I can’t tell all y’all everything. Beside it’s also a man’s job to mold himself to his woman’s liking. We need to understand who we are involved with and treat them how they want to be treated. Even if that does mean changing some of our ways.
(sucks that I have to right this, but this is a general post and not intended to be taken as all men think this way… Just most of us)”

Ok I am no relationship guru but I had to share my thoughts on this subject. This post was inspired by a woman named Neenah from New Jersey who set out to find a husband in 52 weeks. She was not successful…smh. We have all been single at some point in our lives and I want to know if you feel it is difficult. Some people must have a companion at all times. Without a man or a woman they do not feel complete. Is that a problem? Why must people always be in a relationship? When do they have time for themselves? When do they allow themselves time to truly love themselves and learn who they really are?
Would you rather be in a negative relationship for the sake of having a relationship or would you rather wait until your ideal mate comes along & be happy? I think people who constantly need to be in a relationship settle for the first or second person that shows interest. They really do not have a connection, but for the sake of saying I have a girlfriend or a boyfriend that enter or stay in unhealthy relationships.
Many people in these types of relationships are very unhappy and afraid to be alone. They should really evaluate themselves and find the real problem. How are you being fulfilled in a relationship if you are not happy? How are you helping your mate improve himself or herself? What are your intentions for being in that relationship?
If you learn how to truly love yourself you will learn how to love others. You learn how to love yourself by understanding God’s love because his love is unconditional and perfect. Once you realize why and how God love’s you, your thoughts about yourself will change and how you love others will change alss. How you let others love you will change as well.
Neenah’s first mistake was trying to find her husband when she should let him find her. She went on about 40 dates in 52 weeks. That is excessive I think. Does she really know what she wants? Why the extreme attempt? Love will happen when you least expect it (so I’ve heard). When you stop looking that is when love will come. Focus on loving God and loving yourself. Take yourself out to see a movie. Treat yourself to lunch. Visit a museum or an art gallery. Do something that is pleasurable to you and you may bump into Mr. or Mrs. Right when you least expect it

Ok so I already put in my order for the red “Spread Love It’s The Brooklyn Way“ t-shirt! The varsity jackets are sick too and this is just the preview.

Tremaine Neverson…why must you be so gorgeous?!?!? Trey Songz is on the cover of the next issue of Honey Magazine and ladies…smh…words cannot explain…lol (ok I am out of groupie mode) Take a look at Trey for Honey Mag and what he has to say about why women love him, his thoughts on “Invented Sex” and more
Why do women love you?
I’m a lovable guy. You don’t think so? I’m confident. That exudes. Women like men who are confident. I’m humble and I was raised by women so I know what
Well, you definitely seem very confident in the “I Invented Sex” video…
I did a write up about it on my blog that explains where I got the concept. There’s a banned Calvin Klein commercial with a man with two women — a little more risqué, a little more raunchy — and there’s also an Eva Mendes Calvin Klein commercial; I kind of brought the two together. I knew Drake wasn’t going to be on this version, so I took that time to get sensual, to talk to the woman and make a new conversation piece. From here on out, with videos, with song structure, with everything — I’m trying to make it more like an event, more so than a motion, because everything in the music business usually moves clockwork. You got to do this, this way; this should be done, this way. I’m trying to think outside of the box with everything I do and make sure things are done in an innovative way that makes people look like ‘Ohhh… that’s different.’
So there was no point of climax for you? No “I’m grown” moment? Even if it just looks that way from where we stand?
There’s never a moment that takes you from a kid to a man. It happens over time. I’m a young man now and I’ll still learn more as I grow about how to be a man. I am a man, I am an adult, but you know, it’s life. Life changes, there are things you go through — on a personal and business level — that make that change evident.
II. MYSTIQUE
Trey knows when to work his mouth and when to slip out of the hot seat. He’s not a tease but he gives just enough to keep you whet. He doesn’t want you leaving completely satisfied so he straddles the line of full-disclosure and mystery. It’s his way of ensuring a chance to give a repeat performance. He’ll definitely keep you guessing; wondering if the things “they say” are true…
Craziest tweet from a fan?
Oh, man. TwitPics. I get the craziest TwitPics. Bathtubs and suds, all types of stuff — I follow a lot of my fans so my direct message inbox is always filled.
