James was signed to major label Def Jam due to the success of his independently produced video for “All Gold Everything,” aka the reason I randomly say “Woo!” when I’m hot and sweaty.

Tweet Recently, I’ve gotten some heartwarming tweets. On Friday, I met with Jennifer Heebner, a senior editor at jewelry industry publication JCK Magazine. JCK was so supportive of me in 2012, choosing me to be its “JCK Asks…” interviewee in the November issue. (Melissa Rose Bernardo‘s introduction to my interview made me laugh out loud.) [...]

Tweet I’m starting to think I might be some kind of rap goddess … or maybe just a prophet, leading nonbelievers to the promised land of hip-hop. Last year, I got my non-rap-fan sister to stand 9 1/2 hours with me to see Eminem at Lollapalooza. This summer, I took MrB to his first rap [...]

Tweet My gorgeous Atlanta-based rapper friend Lola Mitchell, aka Gangsta Boo, came to New York City this weekend to perform with Mach Five on their Ratchet Shit tour. (Best name evah for a tour because you can do any gross thing and blame it on the theme.) The show wasn’t until Sunday, so MrB took [...]

The letters on the smaller version of my word necklace (seen below in its IDGAF version) are 5 millimeters. I’ll have two new sterling-silver IDGAF necklaces [...]

Tweet Gorgeous rapper Gangsta Boo told me I was going to like “Rollin,” the new video by Drumma Boy, featuring B-Hav and Boo herself. When I saw the video was in 3D, I thought, “Boo was right. This is cool. I need to get some 3D glasses so I can appreciate it.” Then, at about [...]

Tweet I’ve always had a passion for whimsical fashion. Designer Jeremy Scott‘s work definitely has a sense of humor, so I’ve often admired it, though I haven’t purchased anything yet. Maybe I’ll rectify that because, once again, I’m salivating over one of his pieces — a Rainbow Brite-worthy jacket worn by Nicki Minaj. I wouldn’t [...]

Tweet As I said in a recent post, I have worn neon-colored clothes since the 1980s. IF YOU MISSED MY HUFFINGTON POST PIECE ON NEON, CLICK HERE. When I saw this neon-pink-and-black Spring 2012 dress by designer Chris Benz last fall, I took a chance and ordered it. I don’t usually go for blousy tops, [...]
