The Honda Cub is the cutest vehicle on two wheels. A concept bike designed remind me what I am missing in my life. I got one quick question for Honda--when can you bring this out? Imagine replacing your vintage Vespa for one of these puppies, swishing through traffic, pissing of people in their compact cars. Or maybe keeping your Vespa and having a Cub to make you smile. I guess it doesn’t matter until I can get Honda on the horn and convince them that the cub should go into productions no matter the overhead, or international regulations hiccups. It might sound a bit over the top but nobody treats my baby that way.

Welcome back Snoop. He final started to rhyme again. I felt like he lost me with the pimp sh*t. Lyrical, I thought he got lazy like most artist after they make their money, they lose the hunger and energy that got them there. But this new song “Vato”, on his new album “ Tha Blue Carpet Treatment” made me think about buying his album again. It also provided me with renewed faith that he has something to say besides pimpin’. I know pimpin’ is pimpin’ but damn…. They said that Snoop went through 300 songs to arrive at this album. Thank god, he needs to do that again and again if this is the result he gets. Thanks for the renewing my confidence in you. This took me back to 1994 "Gin and Juice" baby.

- Why is it that when young, white, female celebs publicly display their dumbass antics, no one ever attributes this to the white race?
And,
- Why is it that any criminal (or any low class) behavior that minorities are caught exhibiting *IS* attributed to their race?
As if only blacks and Latinos are the only ones who commit crimes and receive public welfare. I guess people don't like to make any connections that psycho school shootings are usually done by white males and that a majority of those on welfare are whites...

Apparently, Jay Z has taken to gifting his beloved Beyonce with precious works of art because cars lose value and jewelry is so blase. My suggestion to Jay Z? Plunk that reported $2 million he spent on some original French painting and buy up a whole bunch of art while helping out a worthy cause. VisualAIDS would be a good place to start. They have all kinds of art-- from paintings to photographs to collages-- created by artists living with AIDS. Unlike cars or jewelry, the value of their money could really go a long way here and the lovebirds can add "benefactors" to their laundry list of achievements.Art by (c) Rene Santos.

FAB 101- The new school of luxurious products making a splash

Indulgence can’t be a negative thing—unless you are obtaining it off the back of someone else. When one thinks about what is Luxe usually traditional ‘stuffy’ luxury comes to mind. I mean if it is not a luxury brand then what is the point-- right? I remember seeing one of Donald Trumps luxurious homes, and thinking if I had millions I would never put gold leaving on every square inch of my abode. I mean one wall creates a statement, a whole house is just obnoxious. After all if wealth is in the eye of the beholder, then what is considered Luxe can be in the mind of the person designing their home, or the person going shopping, or the person having their version of an extravagant meal?
This month, Jil’s definition of Luxe is synonymous with all that is fabulous to us. But more importantly we decided to share with you the artisans, who produce rich and opulent products minus the fanfare and the hoopla. We challenge you to redefine what is considered luxurious to you.
