Because I'm a girl.

After years of procrastinating.. I have finally signed up for the "I'm a girl" campaign which basically focuses their energy to helping out girls around the world and making people aware of poverty going on in this world. If you haven't all noticed all bloggers on this site are ladies and privileged ones at that. I'm using this blog as an outlet to make people aware of all the things going in this world and this is just one of my ways to contribute to the community.. Look out for posts and ideas that I may have. To join .. feel free to sign up at http://plancanada.ca/Page.aspx?pid=2270

I'm a lady - Got my mind up.

Now won't you run and tell your boyfriend
Tell him don't hold his breath for me
I got some money I've been saving
some hearts that I've been breaking
I know one day..they goin' make a martyr out of me.

On the Come Up...

Sooo one boring day I was scrolling through my bbm list and stumbled upon my homeboy Mannie's DP. It was of an old homeless dude wearing a cool shirt that I liked. I asked him about the shirt and he told me about Guilty Victims. Guilty Victims is a crew consisting of 4 dudes (Mannie, Emmanuel a.k.a 2 Bills, Adrian a.k.a Custom the Genius, and Noel a.k.a Nephew). So what's their mission or purpose right? They want to network and push out a brand that is influenced buy fashion, hip hop, music, and street art sub-culture with an intent to be an upcoming huge underground movement; and they do it all for the love of fashion, music, and art. Pretty dope huh?

They've recently done a photoshoot with 2 of their most popular prints. I asked Mannie about it and he had this to say:

"Dead Broke Clothing X Guilty Victim showcases its 2010 summer collection that features Charles Hankins and the beautiful Rose Flor M Lopez. The lookbook features two graphic tees that represent the culture and roots of Africa."

Here are just a few shots from the shoot peeps!

Want one? They're 25 a pop. && in case you're wondering T.I.A stands for "This Is Africa".

I got mine...thanks for the shirt Mannie!

" The problem w/ emotions is only u know how u really feel. Someone can fake the funk & if they do it well, u won't know until ur in too deep...

Or they could be really good at repressing their feelings. They're feelin u, but won't let things get too heavy out of fear. We silly humans"

Aint that some shit...

Everywhere I go infidelity seems to be topic of discussion. Ladies are sleeping with their friends significant others, Men are cheating on their girlfriends and etc. And in all honesty I don't blame the men well yeah.. they share some blame in this but ladies.. handle yourself better. I take it back, the word ladies shouldn't be used so loosely around here; Maties, homewreckers, sideline hoes & jumpoffs is more politically correct.

IF you know a man has a girlfriend - why would you put yourself in that predicament to destroy a relationship... encouraging dishonesty & irresponsibility on a mans part and you are also disrespecting another female who hasn't done anything to you. And I've heard every jumpoffs excuse.. 'Yeah, but if it wasn't going to be with me..it would be with someone else' or "By the time, I found out - It was too late.. I already fell in love with him'. If there are any females playing the part of a jumpoff.. I just want to inform you.. you will never really truly win & you will never really truly be happy.. lmao. I know that sounds harsh but it's the truth and the reason why I say that is because "If he will cheat WITH you - he will most likely cheat ON you" and if that doesn't really happen just know What goes around ./. comes around .. ALWAYS. It may not come in a way that you expect it to but somewhere down the line, Karma will have the last laugh. I'm not here to judge but I'm just stating facts and all readers know that too.

All I have to say is Women of the year 2010 & beyond please carry yourself with respect & dignity. You may not have to like another woman but respect her by allowing her to have what is hers.. her man.. if he is going to cheat - don't devalue yourself by being the girl he cheats with... #thatisall

- Shoutout to all the Alicia Keys & Gabrielle Union's of the world - unno LARGE. -_-
Oh yeah & to the boys making maties possible.. all I can say is "Boys will be boys"
