Sometimes it’s to your advantage for people to think you’re crazy. I’ll take crazy over stupid any day. She’s getting lite, I light her up. It’s only a ciggie — not too controversial. Playing Starship Orchestra in my head while smoke blow. I’m blind to the facts in this traveling mask. I have a quiet way of not listening. A cold cowboy girl in the corner, but being still and doing nothing are two different things. Cherish your solitude; If it didn’t kill you then it’s working for your good. Try being the strong silent type. “Life can be so nice, It’s a wonderful world, sweet paradise.”

Angel Oak is a live oak. It is native to the low country and is not very tall but has a wide spread canopy. Lumber from the live oak forests in the sea islands was highly valued for shipbuilding in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Angel Oak stands on part of Abraham Waight’s 1717 land grant. Mr. Waight owned several plantations. The City of Charleston now owns Angel Oak. There is no charge to view the tree and is a must see when visiting Charleston, South Carolina. http://www.angeloaktree.org

Press REC and film me. Check it. Like JET magazine. This is my mack daddie vibe I am giving you. In all its splendor. What you think about a boy like me: I am my #1 priority; no falling inlove no commentiment from me. Friday night we won. Phifer; the muse of much top-notch entertainment, perfectly packaged into chic lifestylin and green living. This is the Dynasty AUC era–young with wealthy educations. SpelHouse has arrived at last, and we give off a gilded glare. In the words of Uncle Jay “Remind yourself. Nobody built like you, you design yourself.” –So this shouldn’t come as shocking news: Phifer got ridiculously maximal, blowing past all the rules of being Phifer. This is the return of luxury furs and penthouse homes. As we partied dressed like our true inner feelings. Atlanta was such a casual city, until we introduced elegance to sexy. No-no, Phifer is not your lover–I’m not your friend; I am something every taste maker can comprehend; I–will–pose–for–you. We can pose until the crack of dawn; you’ll read our tweets and get into our Instagrams–a life worth living. And I live.

You a bad girl and your friends bad too, oh
We got the swag sauce, she drippin’ swagu

2. The W Hotel Midtown

You’re my James Dean
You make me feel like I’m seventeen
You drive too fast, you party too much
But that don’t mean a thing
‘cause i’m addicted to the rush

Thanks to Jarrod Levine and the entire W staff. Thank you.

A package from Team Epiphany arrived at the door of Phifer’s Penthouse (lol, he is obsessed with living a king-size life). Everybody knows there is nothing more important than dressing up your home, apartment, suite, dorm room, or studio–it’s all about your cultured taste, –exclusively done. What better way to add to my cabinetry than with the Limited Edition HAZE x Heineken Draught Glasses (numbered and hand signed by iconic street artist Eric Haze). A glass with many of causes. The glass itself is designed to showcase Heineken draught beer. The shape of the glass, the oval guide and the laser etched nucleation point on the bottom all accentuate the flavor and experience of a perfect pour. The set serves as a blank canvas for Haze to showcase his original art, The Imperfect Star. The glasses come in a pack which includes: two custom/laser etched glasses, and an original signed and hand numbered print by Haze. The package is limited to 500 sets; 250 sets for friends and family, while another 250 sets will be given away as a part of the Heineken Klout Perks program during 2012.

Heineken is more than just the green bottle!

Show me–what’s your favorite spot in Little 5 Points? Can I–talk like it’s just you and I? Well, we spotted faux Louis Vuitton sneakers in the vintage store Rag‐O‐Rama (see bottom right photo), and headed straight for the door! Little 5 Points is often described as “bohemian”. Translation: a lot of homeless people, amateur musicians, piercings and tattoos. Five Points is credited with being the indie center of Atlanta–the house of the indie crowd, but many of the shops are a bore. In the past couple of years the pan handlers have become fiercly aggressive resulting in a total buzz kill when you are getting hassled every time you leave a location to visit another. Your thoughts too: don’t touch my fur my dear [Dominique Deveraux voice]. My friends – who have an eclectic taste and artsy flair – insisted we go to Little Five Points to look for clothes, aka peddling nothing better than the stuff you get at Goodwill or Salvation Army but they label it as “vintage”. Or maybe I’m just disppointed we came across some fake sh** at a store that appraises every piece of article they buy from customers. Somebody was sleeping on the job, obviously. I pulled out the Purell and wiped myself down and left. The rest of us will be enjoying our shopping time in Phillips Plaza. With Versace, Gucci, Theory and them. I hope this was helpful.
