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.
This Sunday is Super Bowl 44 between the Saints and the Colts. Many of you ladies will probably be attending a super bowl party or you may even go to a sports bar. Yes you are are going to watch a bunch of men tackle each other, but that doesn’t mean you can’t look cute watching it lol. Here are a few looks that you can achieve easily. You will be comfortable and fly at the same time. Comfort doesn’t always means sweat pants and a big shirt.
Key Items:
Skinny Jeans
Tunic
Comfy boots
Crew neck long sleeved shirts
Sweat Shirts
Casual/Everyday bag
Scarves
Try to pull looks together that do not scream “HEY I’M ONLY HERE TO LOOK FOR A MAN” Looking desperate…
#thatsanono (Twitter TT yesterday lol) Hopefully this helps!

I have no comment…lol…Ok maybe a few…Chris
What are your thoughts?
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

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.

Oh and ladies have some dignity…butt naked twit pics…smh
Ok so Christmas is this Friday and if you are like me you are still looking for last minute gifts…smh. For those of you with that “special man” in your life here are a few suggestions for gifts. Most of my male friends are very picky when it comes to clothes so to play it safe you can always go with cologne. Here are a list of a few scents that I think you both will love. Its one thing to get him a cologne that he likes, but make sure you like it too because you do have to smell him, especially when you cuddle
Burberry Touch
Sean Jean Unforgivable (Diddy out did himself with this one! I absolutely love this on a guy)
Hugo Boss ( I love the bottle that it comes in and you can get a pair of headphones or iPod shuffle as a gift)
Givenchy Neo Pi (I love this one also. It has strong scent but it is not overwhelming and its refreshing)
Sean John I Am King (I think that Diddy has the perfect formula for men’s cologne because he is always on point)
Carolina Herrera 212
Givenchy Pi (I really like this scent. It seems very strong when first applied but after about 10 minutes it becomes very subtle)
Diesel Fuel For Life
Ladies its time to upgrade your man from the Curve…that is so 1999 lol ok I’m kidding. Or keep it real and get an old school classic Issey Miyake lol. Hope this helps.
Back in June (or July I forget) of this year, we brought you exclusive designer information from the Afro-Punk Festival in Brooklyn. We introduced you to, two young men from Brooklyn who are the creators of the Devosh line (click here)
Well Jonathan and Douglass have not stopped working. They recently held a fashion in the city that I attended and I was quite impressed. They have added a female to the team, Kat (sorry no picture 
) and she is the perfect balance between all of this testosterone. Devosh started as a premium street wear brand, but have opened up their market providing casual and dressy looks for both males and females. Here are a few looks from the show:
For more info about Devosh contact Jonathan or Douglass at www.devosh.com or Devosh04@gmail.com
Ok so I rarely post anything for dudes being that HGB (HERGoodyBag) is geared towards women, but the holiday season has arrived and I know many of you may need help finding your brother, cousin, uncle, “friend,” and/or boyfriend the perfect gift for Christmas. So I went to a few sites, spoke to a few guys, and ladies, if your guy is into the urban premium streetwear lines then Play Cloths (clothing line created by rappers/brotehrs Clipse) has what he is looking for. Here are some ideas of what to get your guys from the Play Cloths Holiday 2009 Collection.

Signal # 7 Folding Your Arms
“Classically, people see this is a barrier gesture that repels people,” James says. There are two different versions, each with its own meaning. “If your arms are folded in a self-hug, so that your hands touch your rib cage, it can imply that you’re feeling insecure or bored,” she says. “If your arms are folded, so that your hands are on your biceps, you’re telling him that you’re not interested in talking.”
HGB: I don’t think I have ever seen someone standing in one place with their arms folded like they are hugging themselves. that just doesn’t seem normal or natural and it feels a little uncomfortable (yes I just tried it lol…don’t judge me). I do know that when your arms are folded while you are speaking to someone it does show lack of interest, disrespect, or even abuse of power (superiority, I’m better than you, I’m the boss type of power) so ladies be mindful of this.
Signal #8 Steady Eye Contact
“Giving him 100-percent eye contact when he’s talking, while also nodding to show that you’re listening, tells him that you value what he has to say,” James says. But you should look away briefly when you’re talking. “Too much prolonged eye contact when you speak can look intimidating or even dishonest.”
HGB: I think making eye contact with anyone in general shows a sign of confidence and respect. Sometimes a person’s eyes can help you better understand what they are saying because you sometimes feel connected. “The eyes are the windows to the soul.”
So Ladies, when you first meet a guy, make sure you pay attention to your body language. You do not want to give off the wrong message.
