Artist of the Moment: K.O Kid.

Duh. I'm biased.


Y'all. I am the proudest sister ever. My brother Kenneth has had two shows and has excellent turn out. Now, he already told me that he was working on his first mix tape (Don't we *love* the title?)  But,  Yesterday he called to tell me so freakin awesome news:

But It wasn't real til I saw it here

That's Right. K.O Kid is the 2nd act! (Randomly I also know the other two performers very well--- townies).

Unfortunately, I can't go to this show... It's a Thursday night and I can't swing it. But... if you haven't yet go check out this lil talent!



Album Art: Taylor Kinahan

Wiz Khalifa Concert, 3/26/10.

I love Wiz Khalifa. He's a rapper in the same category as Kid Cudi, Wale, Curren$y, and some other hot, more under ground wonders.
The concert was amazing, and the Venue (Fillmore--17 Irving Plaza) was like a mix 'between Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill and an opera house.
If you don't know Wiz Kalifa, check him out, this is one of my favorite songs. 




Some other shows coming up there that I'm ticket shopping for:

Wale-- 3/31
Bone Thugs-- 4/6
Lupe Fiasco-- 4/10 & 4/11
Snoop-- 4/20
N.E.R.D-- 4/28

Tip for Glasses Wearers.

My good friend Tony, (aka Tone-Town, Tony-Bologna, Tones) is a fellow glasses wearer. I spotted him strolling into one of our classes last semester doing the sunglasses-over-the-glasses thing. At first I thought that was only for old people who wear those glaucoma or cataracts blacked out frames over theirs. But hey, I'm no hater. So since I am an 80%-20% glasses-to-contact wearer I thought I could give it a try...
I got new big shade over spring break, and indeed they are big enough to go around my glasses frames. Not gonna lie, Tone-Town, I like your style, darling!

Quote of The Day.

This one is tacked to the wall by my desk. So true stuff right there, Rev!

Minimalist Movie Posters.

Jackie over at The 20 Something Society posted these gems earlier in the month and I had to share them as well. I have always loved how people keep re-creating these. I really liked the ones by Albert Exergian, and Nick Tassone (who did these) did a pretty nice job. It helps that I love horror flicks and 'The Shining' in one of my favorite movies. ever.

Minimalist TV Posters.

I love these minimalist posters created by Albert Exergian. 

He takes a central theme or concept from the shows and creates a simple but stunning poster. I especially love the True Blood one (which is coming back on in June...!!)

Break-Up Playlist.

So I am more or less going through a "break-up." Even though I have a sneaky suspicion that my "Banker" is going to be like Carrie's "Big"... as of right now, he's a little bit of a "Berger" (So many "b's" so many SATC references!) . I've been goin in on my i-tunes the past couple days and here is the playlist:

Alicia Keys-- Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart (duh)
Lil Wayne-- Something You Forgot
Lauryn Hill-- Ex-Factor
Trina--Single Again
Lady Gaga-- Bad Romance
Imogen Heap-- Hide and Seek
BoysIIMen-- Water Runs Dry
Rihanna-- Russian Roulette
Lil Kim--Big Mama Thang
The Cranberries--Everything I Said
Lady Gaga-- Paper Gangster
Good Charlotte-- Michelle Branch-- Good bye to you
I Don't Want to be in Love
Third Eye Blind-- Motorcycle Drive By
Ciara-- Never Ever
Black Eyed Peas-- Meet Me Halfway
Drake-- Brand New
All American-Rejects-- This Ends Tonight
Cassie-- Official Girl
Death Cab for Cutie-- The Ice is Getting Thinner
Snow Patrol-- You Could be Happy
Evanescence-- Call Me When You're Sober
Kanye West-- See You in My Nightmares
Chrisette Michelle-- Epiphany
Colin Hay-- I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You
Nelly Furtado-- Say it Right
Trina--So Fresh
Damien Rice-- Volcano
Lady Gaga--- Brown Eyes
Beyonce-- Like a Boy

This play list is a good mix of emo and boss bitch. What do you y'all listen to in times like these? I def want to add to the list!

The Cycle.

I sort of need someone to explain the line between "bitch" and "asshole." You know, off the cycle. I am starting to think that there isn't a line there because the two aren't supposed to go together. That, my friends, is the story of the Banker.

Or at least it seems that way.

What I wore: Vegas.

That's me, SM and RSJ in Vegas. I don't have many pictures from the trip, but I'll post the others as soon as I'm back to New York. I love these 3 pictures of us. Each night we went out our individual style was obvious, and our personalities are too! But we still make the best of friends and I'm so glad we've remained close after college.

Emails Files: Vegas Packing List.

Friday I am Vegas bound along with my 2 besties, SM and RSJ. We haven't all been together since November, which is kind of inappropriate. As is customary, before we go on a trip together, a packing list is mailed out so that you know, we're prepared. Usually what happens is that RSJ is always prepared with everything she needs (including all her toiletrees in this perfect pink carry-all. Duh. She's the responsible one. SM always manages to fit so much in to her bags or suitcases. Unfortunately it's always full of.... everything random. My favorite: the time we went to Asheville and all she had was various scarves. No tops. And me? I don't know what kind of packer I am... but I usually pack things I have no intention of wearing, and end up shopping for something else. Hence the need for the packing lists. I started the list and SM (who is an impeccable list maker) cleaned it up. The things in quotes were from my original list. She didn't really keep much of it, hahahaha. So, here it is. Are we missing anything?

Ok, let me refine Sesh's list she sent earlier for packing -- the weather looks like its going to be pretty warm!

Dresses for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night -- and maybe Monday -- like cocktail, flashy and fly (bring 4, or if you're me and indecisive, more)
Heels for every occasion -- "fucking tall HEELS"
Outfits for daytime -- sundresses, skirts, tops, etc etc -- 3 of those (Sat, Sun, Mon)
PJs
Hangover clothes for breakfast -- may also be pjs haha
"condoms, you sluts."
all meds/birth control + advil/tylenol
bathing suits.... for hangin by the pool and stuff
bathing suit cover + flipflops for the pool
light jacket for layering just in case
a pair or two of tights just in case it gets a little chilly at night
leggings..? (maybe just for me -- I bought some snakeskin ones I HAVE to wear!)
daytime shoes -- flats, sandals
panties/thongs -- bras/strapless?
contacts/contact solution (Sesh)
bobbypins/hair ties
fucking GLITTER (jk on that one haha)
cell phone
clutches for night
iPod -- and our rooms should have an iHome player in the room (according the website)

debit card, cash, credit card (i feel like we're gonna need all 3 on this one...but it will be worth it.)

Good Find: American Apparel Cirle Scarf

I got this scarf a couple weeks ago at American Apparel. You can find it here . My girl Wisconsin-Shannon put me on a while ago before it got cold and she was prepping me for winter, haha. Whats awesome about it is that you can wear it a bunch of different ways. That's me in my gray one. I only really wear it looped twice (like it is in the picture, with a blazer) or three times if it's real cold out. Maybe I'll try it as a dress....

This is How I'm Living.

Y'all. I didn't have SHEETS on my bed for the past couple of nights. School has been kicking me in the face since the month started and after turning in 3 major papers today I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have a written exam tomorrow from 9am-12pm and then a case presentation at my internship, Friday Morning and then I am FREE. The piles of school work have been replaced with the things I'm trying to pack for VEGAS and CHAPEL HILL. I so freakin over school right now, this break could not have come soon enough.

Get Him To The Greek-- Summer 2010

Diddy seems to have a great role in this movie, and I love that Russell Brand is bring back his character from Forgetting Sarah Marshall
