So... I upgraded to the new blogger (all the cool kids were doing it) and I hate it. I hate that stupid Navigation bar at the top and none of my secret codes seem to work to make it go away. Looks like the switch to WordPress may be sooner than I thought! Anyway...
The other day I was browsing through celebrity gossip websites (hey, I'm on vacation!)... is it me or does all celebrity gossip center around the same 4 people? 5 people? You know what I mean. Seriously, what's the obsession with Lindsay Lohan? I mean, I loved Mean Girls as much as the next person... but its like: she's fat, she's skinny, she had a boob job, she's on coke, she's not... I just don't get it. The same goes for Jessica Simpson. Honestly, if you paid me I don't think I could name one of her songs... yet she's everywhere... is it because she's blond?
Anyway for gossip with a bit more flavor, I turn to "Fresh" at Crunk and Disorderly, Cynthia of Juicy-News, and one of my favorite sites (and one of the true originals) WhuDat.com (I love the government tags section... I mean, who knew Chamillionaire's real name was Hakeem 
Seriki?) The thing about these sites is that they seem to be just one step ahead of the others, in terms of style, trend, and even drama. And even though certain stars show up more than others (the bigger the star, the more coverage, of course), the content scope is broader... and as bonus Lindsay and Jessica are no where to be found!
Speaking of false idols, True Love and False Idols is a streetwear brand that takes the emphasis off hype and emphasizes style, detail, and performance. This unique line of LA based tee-shirts and highly sought after hoodies has been selling out everywhere.... Check out the site and stay tuned for the debut of their women's Spring 07' line later this month. (The best thing about the start of winter is fashion's focus on next spring!)
