Fashion is all about looks recreating themselves. Clothing, jewelry, and, of course, shoes, always find away to step back out with a new twist.
Manolo Blahnik has made its way back into the flirty, Hip-Hop department with its 2002 suede and leather ankle “Timberland”-inspired boots.
We’ve seen a similar style in our day (think Beyonce 10 years ago), but this shoe is more up to date, modern, and sexy. It can be found at Saks Fifth Avenue and other high-end stores.
Will this super-pricey boot (retailing at $1,175) make it into your fall wardrobe, ladies? Why or why not?

Looks like the generational gap is not going to be closing anytime soon. In this video, a father goes IN on his son on youtube for wearing skinny jeans. Now, the thing is, the kid’s jeans are incredibly tight to the point where he cannot even pull them up. The are basically skintight jeans that would give a girl an instant yeast infection. The day yells, “And you know your nuts hurt!!!!” So, who is the epic fail? The son for wearing the jeans or the dad for ruining his son’s life for the next decade at least. This will be on youtube forever now. It may even be in a time capsule to explain where we were as a people in this time period.
There is just something wrong about a dude in something like this:
R. Kelly is maybe the only singer of his generation and genre, from the ’90s, who still makes music – and still gets heard.
Check out the Pied Piper in his latest video for “Feelin’ Single”. Sounds like something from the Chocolate Factory album – but it’s actually a new cut from his latest album, Write Me Back.
Though it’s also reminiscent of 2010’s Love Letter, Kelly takes another risk with this one. Who can touch this musical genius who’s constantly reinventing himself and his music?
Another one bites the dust. After months of speculation, Day 26, the band that Diddy famously put together on his 2007 MTV reality show “Making The Band,” has decided to call it quits and break up.
Day 26 made two underwhelming albums on Bad Boy, and even made the move over to Interscope with Diddy a few years back, but ultimately left Diddy after not having much success. The group last made headlines when group member Q left the group to pursue a solo career.
Earlier this week the remaining four members–Willie, Brian, Robert, and Mike–released a statement saying, “It is with great sadness and deep pain that we regret to inform you that effective immediately, Atlantic Records Platinum recording group, DAY26 have decided to take a break from the group and focus on their own individual projects.”
So much for that. Would you like to see Diddy come back on MTV for another edition of “Making The Band”?

She’s cute. She’s digging your style. The music’s playing. She asks “Wanna dance?” However, if you’ve got more than one left foot, this can be a problem. Most guys will say, “I don’t dance.” Of course. You came to the club because you don’t dance. Thus, you let the moment slip away. No need for that. Truth is, you don’t have to be Michael Jackson to rock her world.
However, you should be in shape. And dancing itself is, maybe, the most fun way to do it. Dancing involves so much movement, it will have your heart drumming, your blood flowing, and your body rocking. It will also get you girls’ phone numbers. But wait, wait, wait. How can you get in shape while dancing without embarrassing yourself? No problem.
There are at least seven, super easy moves you can learn that will actually make you look like a great dancer. You’ll not only look better and get a good workout, but also tear up the dance floor and impress the ladies. Hey, wallflowers have to bloom sometime. Let’s do this!
Happy Feet
The Happy Feet is the cool footwork move often used by Jason Derulo when he’s getting down. The magic of this move is that at first it may feel weird. However, when you get the hang of it, it will shock you how easy it is. (No offense, Jason Derulo.) After a while, your legs will start to feel a burn, but don’t be selfish. Think of how the dance floor feels! If that’s too cheesy for you, think of how strong your legs will get. It will improve your strength and coordination on all walks of life, even during sports.
Melbourne Shuffle
“Everyday I’m shuffling.” By now, everyone should have seen LMFAO’s video for “Party Rocker Anthem,” where the whole world breaks down shuffling. Looks cool, doesn’t it? It’s easy. Still, if you do this enough, your heart will be pumping, and you’ll develop good stamina. It’s like jogging in place. Only, a little more contagious.
Six-Step
This is a very cool breakdance move that, although it looks fancy, is actually simple if you can keep up with it. You won’t have to go 80 mph to look good either. Learn the basic steps, and anyone can nail it. It’ll not only improve balance, but also make you work up a sweat, and get your entire body involved. Just start down-rocking and suddenly…”Oh, my God! That guy can dance!”
MC Hammer Dance
If you can learn any MC Hammer move, you’ll be sweating your veins out. From the running man to his fancy footwork, the man had some beastly energy! But for beginners, his easiest move (that still requires a test of balance) is his spin move. Sprinkle a few of these in the middle of your groove, and you’ll look hella good.
The Worm
Don’t try this on the Rocky Mountains. Anywhere else, go for it! Drop down on the floor and start worming. It’s pretty easy to learn, and it will seriously get your body going. On top of that, the crowd will love it. Your girl will be pretty intrigued. Heck, most guys will only do the “worm” after a shot of Tequila. Stay thirsty, my friends.
Roger Rabbit
Honestly, it’s hard to look sexy while doing the Roger Rabbit. However, if you keep a sense of humor, it would be impossible for everyone NOT to have a good time. Girls would definitely think you’re a cool guy, and the great part is – it’s pretty easy. Nonetheless, you’ll get some good cardio out of it.
Walk It Out
Ultra simple (anyone can do it), very energetic, and still rather cool. Popularized by DJ Unk, this dance is a killer at any party, and it’s not hard at all. However, the Walk It Out will still make you work it out, if you do it long enough. Believe it.
Conclusion: Last but not least… Snap your fingers and groove! Just sway to the music, and snap to the beat! Keep your heart moving. Have a good time. That’s all it takes to satisfy a girl, and it’s a great start to getting in shape. Dance to have fun, and don’t be shy. Just move! And if you have no rhythm…move a little less at the beginning. And if you have so little rhythm that even your heartbeat gets confused, just practice before going out. Trust me, you ‘ll get it. Just keep dancing. You’ll soon start losing weight and developing muscle. And when the time comes to get on the dance floor, you’ll have a great time, and the ladies won’t be able to keep their eyes off you. Good luck!

Man, I am eternally sad for the way Young Buck has developed as an artist. I mean 50 Cent is merciless! And Buck’s own woes have finally caught up with him. Well, with a year and some change in jail time coming up, Buck is speaking out on his own drama. He recently released this video on the whole mess. I can’t believe this dude was once one of the dopest rappers in G-Unit.
Manolo Blahnik has made its way back into the flirty, Hip-Hop department with its 2002 suede and leather ankle “Timberland”-inspired boots.
Truth is, you don’t have to be Michael Jackson to rock her world.
