TODAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Daddies:)

I must say that I am fortunate to have a Daddy still around and married to my mommy because we all now that saying "Mama's baby, Papa's mayb'e...." and in my case I'm both their baby. Now you know I had to put up a picture of Crooklyn's favorite girl Troy and her fictional Daddy in the classic spike joint perfectly titled "CROOKLYN"(of course!) This film has profoundly changed the perception of the father figure and the black family! So, salute to all father's today, unfortunately there is not a lot around but there is indeed some still standing.

Awwwww a pic of me and my Daddy from back in the day:)

Watch this moving poem from Spokenword poet, Shihan!

Come on now....

This elementary-like collage pictured above was not created by 11-13 year old school kids but by our good old friends at Urban Outfitters. Fly Crooklyn girls and guys usually flock to the city but just recently, Urban Outfitters has built a home in Crooklyn.When I first found out that there was an Urban Outfitters that was going to be Crooklyn bound I had a sigh of relief. Sometimes, the commute to and from Soho can be a pain for Crooklynites with all those ridiculous train changes. Before I headed out in that direction today I received an email about their store opening ad back in March. Now, I've seen previous ads for Urban Outfitters and never before have I seen cut images of Biggie, Jay-z, Mike Tyson and the Cosby's as images on what looked like a rushed attempt at making a quick flyer. If this is an attempt to be down with the "hood," when their located in CobbleHill/Caroll Gardens (nothing hoodish about these areas), I mean very WACK! What was the goal here with this ad???? It paints a perception of who they believed their target customers would only be. Ck is too diverse a town and deserves better, I mean hell I love Jay and Big too but are they the faces of Urban Outfitters? It's one thing to include culture and race as a marketing tool but if your going to do it, Do it right! I am highly offended that Crooklyn received such representation and it makes me second guess their establishment. It's hard because Urban has some ill finds but I need to take a serious break from them, oh well there's always vintage:)
