Cloud 10's New Music Spot: Has J-Hud Met Her Match

Jennifer Hudson's finally yelling for something other than her weight.. WOOT

Little Savannah Robinson who possesses some pretty impressive pipes herself got the surprise of her life on Ellen recently.  While singing the showstopping number, And I'm Telling You, Jennifer Hudson crashed her whole set and the gauntlet dropped and both divas belted out the famous Dreamgirls song.  The chills that took over my body when that little girl hit those upper registers and infused the soul of 20 slaves in her voice was enough to make me stop everything I was doing and retrieve my jaw from the floor!

AWESOME!!

AJ6 "South Beach" Customs by El Cappy

Just hitting the internetz is the AJ6 "South Beach" customs designed by El Cappy. El Cappy made these customs for Detroit based blogger Juan the blogger where he transformed the AJ6 "Oreo" into this beautiful creation you see before you. Me being a non Lebron fan, his South Beach colorway was the best in my opinion. I have seen the South Beach colorway on other silhouettes but on this shoe is by far the best. Even the box is dope! Awesome work El Cappy!

Respeito (Respect): Sarah Frost's "Arsenal"

The entire Gun Registry is represented here it seems...

This image was just visually arresting, I love artistic pieces like this that do nothing more than beg a hearty discussion upon leaving such an exhibit.  Sarah Frost manages to capture the fascination we as a modern society seem to have with guns.

"P.P.O.W will host Sarah Frost’s first solo exhibition from April 14 to May 14, 2011 in New York City. Frost’s installations focus on a new found interest in paper gun making – the artist having recently discovered an online community of paper craftsmen (mostly boys) through Youtube. With this basis, Frost creates environments that fully immerse the viewer in her monumental arsenal."


Thoroughly engrossing,  this exhibit is a definite must-see especially because the intricate, realistic guns were actually made with paper! Its almost as if they seem like they are made of cold steel with a hot temper buried deep inside.  I love how they are suspended their too in organized chaos.  I mean in a time when we can't seem to avoid going to war this exhibit is highly relevant.  

What are your thoughts on the images?

Cloud 10's New Music Spot - John Legend's Cover of Adele's - Rolling In The Deep

Look at how John's hairline meanders carelessly across his forehead...

Man we're going to just ignore that wayward ass, self-directed hairline of John Legend and let's instead focus our attention on his soulful, heartfelt rendition of Adele's 'Rolling in the Deep' that captures the essence of this track.  I won't lie I get the warmth of a Civil Rights era song of hope when I hear the acapella, vocally driven song.  Tell me this doesn't sound like it could serve as the soundtrack to a Tale of Civil Rights Strife??

Thanks to Mike for posting this beautiful track on my wall..

Cloud 10's Think Tank (SOUND OFF) Body Slammed Bully Speaks Out!

Guess you met your match huh??

Remember that YouTube video that went viral of the bully standing up to the little kid with Napolean Syndrome?  Well he's speaking out and he doesn't sound very remorseful, in fact, little Richard Gale is defending his actions claiming he was bullied too.  The way that Richard got acquainted with that ground I doubt he will ever pick on someone bigger than him ever AGAIN! Casey made everyone GASP, Richard's attempt to get up was futile as his legs seemed to forget their function - STAGGERLY.

I am in no way condoning or encouraging violence at all, because Casey could have seriously hurt Richard.  In this situation Richard and Casey were wrong and should have realized that if you are bullied you report it to a teacher/principal/parent.  The Bystander Effect was so real in this video and it is a common occurrence in bullying situations.  Kids stood around cheering, hooting and howling and even recording the video which they intended to 'cyber'.  I can not sit here and admonish Casey for fighting back, yes he is 16 but he was provoked.  The victim becoming the bully scenario (reverse bullyism where the bullied becomes a quasi-bully) only works in the movies, in many cases, people attack when provoked.  If Richard was indeed bullied or picked on, he unfortunately learned this the hard way (ALL PUN INTENDED). 

Schools need to take a bigger stance in acting as allies for children that are being bullied.  Time after time it is being reported that when children do inform their parents the schools do nothing and the bullying continues until sometimes a child commits suicide or worse a situation like Columbine.  This video was a real eye-opener and I hope you looked past the novelty and thought about the real implications for people like Richard and Casey around the world.

Ed Hardy - Tattoo Clothing for men



Ed Hardy. Inspired by the youth of America, vintage-inspired fashion, Hollywood stardom, and motorcycle and tattoo culture, it is no surprise that Audigier was motivated by the artwork of Ed Hardy, the “godfather of tattoo”, then purchased the rights to his artwork in order to bring tattoo culture into the world of fashion.

Since December 2004, Audigier has already brought legendary tattoo genius Ed Hardy to new heights. The cleverly designed t-shirts, denim and accessories reflect Audigier’s own fast-paced lifestyle and passion for color. 

To date, Audigier has signed the Ed Hardy motorcycle manufacturing deal, produced and distributed the collectible Ed Hardy energy drink, launched a brand new retail store on Melrose, obtained full international distribution of the Ed Hardy lifestyle brand, and generated over $5M in sales to date. Needless to say, Audigier will launch more than four new Ed Hardy lifestyle product categories in the coming year, including housewares.

Men's swimwear by Ed Hardy offers the popular vintage tattoo designs in bold colors and sexy, masculine styles.

This eclectic mix of designs is eye-catching in these knee length board shorts:

Ed Hardy's show Friday night was not part of the "Swell Suits Miami 2011" collective of male swimwear like the other designers shown here, but the label reflected the overall trend of less baggy looks in men's swim seen across the board. This look features a trendy glossy finish:

When it comes to fashion, fragrance, and making a statement Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier is the premiere lifestyle brand. From the over the top trucker hats, t-shirts, sneakers, and new line of fragrances... when you are rocking Ed Hardy gear, people know it. The signature Ed Hardy aka the "Godfather of Tattoo" tattoo designs are the way to go to acheive the "street couture" look using the famous tattoo designs of Ed Hardy and many times covered in rhinestones, the Ed Hardy brand will get your message across. Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier is often imitated, never duplicated.

New at Boscov's we are proud to introduce the Ed Hardy line of fragrances!

The Sartorialist Files: Rolf Spectacles Collection 21

Note-worthy...

\
Rolf has definitely reignited my obsession with wooden glasses frames.  When I get a new pair of glasses I think Rolf will be the designer I turn to because these wooden frames accented by buffalo horn on the temples are just jaw-dropping.  Simple, sleek and stylish these frames made of finely crafted from Zebrano veneer wood or maple, walnut, or bog finishes in Tirol, Austria.
