Ray Tintori is an up and coming director that I have a feeling is about to blow up. He has directed MGMT's "Kids", "Time to Pretend", and "Electric Feel" music videos, as well as The Killers' "Spaceman" and Chairlift's "Evident Utensil" music videos, which was nominated at this years VMA's. In addition, Spike Jonze just recruited him this summer to write, direct and produce a new film called "Light Boxes". His first short film is one named "Jettison Your Loved Ones" which showed at the Slamdance Film Festival. His sophomore effort is one named "Death to the Tinman". It was made for his senior thesis at Wesleyan University, from which he graduated in 2006. In 2007 it showed at the Sundance Film Festival and recieved an award. This film was brought to my attention by my English teacher, Mr. Illman, who was Tintori's teacher way back when. Tintori contacted Mr. Illman when he made this video because he wanred him to be in it, as Mr. Illman is critically acclaimed for his excellent reenactments of Shakespeare verbatim from memory during class time. He plays the character of Paul. He showed it to us in class the other day and I can't stop re-watching it. It's really a cool film. There's so many layers and you can tell it was extremely well thought out. I love the plot and there's a million different little aspects that add to its genius. Sooooooo.....watch it.

Carried Away
I'm conflicted about this album. The problem is that People Under the Stairs are so incredible, it's truly impossible for them to make bad music. They keep releasing albums almost every year and they're all consistently good. The thing is that they haven't really made anything mind blowing since The Next Step and O.S.T. It's like they've hit a pinnacle and can't go any farther. I don't want to be disappointed in Carried Away, and I'm not, just a little bored. Anyways, Carried Away is by far the dopest track on the album.

"Barbie has cankles." - Christian Louboutin
"Christian Louboutin to redesign Barbie doll without 'fat legs' 10.15.09:
High-end Parisian shoe designer Christian Louboutin is about to add fuel to the flames of complaints that the fashion industry's models are too thin by offering up a new version of Mattel's iconic fashion Barbie doll that will be actually be thinner than its original design, reported The Telegraph. The designer reportedly felt the doll had 'fat legs' and 'cankles' and plans to make them slimmer in a version of three new dolls, rebuking complaints Mattel has faced that the doll is unrealistically thin.
'They're completely wild and even come with mini Louboutin boxes for the shoes,' a Louboutin spokeswoman said, adding that Louboutin 'found her ankles were too fat.'" - From STYLESIGHT

Ghostface Killah is performing at BB King's on November 11th at 9:00 p.m. Tix starting at $26.00. I'm going, are you ?
Ghost is one of my favorite MC's of all time. Although some people may call this album wack, it's far from disappointing. There's a lot of R&B and lots of collaborations, but he's already defined himself enough that he's able to release an album like this. He's older now so instead of just spitting about bitches and gat's he's telling stories of a more solitary life. Not to say that there isn't some of that classic in there, because there definitely is. Lyrically he's as on point as ever as well. He's almost 40 now and this album definitely shows a more mature side of him without losing that special Starks flavor. He definitely continues to live up to his self-proclamation as "one of the most creative niggas in the game."

My fabulous/beautiful/perfect homie Remy Duran is amazing so check his bliggity blog:
The Tao of RZA
RZA had a book signing @ Barnes & Noble today. Here's my homie Big E with Rzarector himself.
Leffot NYC
Leffot is a relatively new men's shoe store in Greenwich Village. I know I'm a girl, but these shoes are so beautiful I'm foaming at the mouth. I would most nearly die for a pair in my size, despite the prices ranging from $385 to $1,250 (I know, I know, but so worth it!!!).
