A groovy place in cyberspace run by author Lolita Files. Come on in. Bring some Pepsi.
Lo Fun Fact #1
"Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. To this day, she has no idea what a "Lolita" is.
Lo Fun Fact #2
I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins.
Lo Fun Fact #3
Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all?
Lo Fun Fact #4
I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay?
Lo Fun Fact #5
I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!!
Lo Fun Fact #6
I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position.
Lo Fun Fact #7
I have fourfive six wonderful, slap-happy dogs, a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs, bird, and cat, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have fourfive six dogs, a bird, and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond.
Bad, Bad Juan!!!

One of my favorite people and someone very familiar to longtime readers of this blog, Juan G...
...just did a cruel, cruel thing. He sent me a link to a website called net-a-porter, a play on the fashion term prêt-à-porter (which means "ready to wear" clothing, or off-the-rack).

When he sent me the link, he had the AUDACITY to tell me to click on the part that says "shoes," but warned me that it wasn't for the weak of heart and to leave my credit cards in the other room.
Now, my addiction toweakness formania love of shoes is pretty well-documented, and Juan definitely knows about it from personal conversations we've had. He is a mean, mean man.
Check out these Louboutins I just saw over there. *le sigh*
Wow. You can make a song about anything these days. I've heard this one before, but seeing it in video form really puts it, um, in your face. This is definitely NSFW, so make sure your speakers aren't blasting if you're in mixed company. I'm not kidding. Every dirty word you've ever heard in your life is in this song, so beware. Oh, and you might need a hot shower afterwards to wash away the memory of this wretched mess.*

*On an up note, this song makes me wanna dance!!! Does that mean there's something wrong with me?
In honor of today's race in Pennsylvania, I figured I'd put up a video that combines two of my favorite fellas: Obama and Jigga.* And though I'm late posting this today and have been MIA for a few days, better late than never. No matter who wins today, we all know who's going to take the whole cake when the dust settles.

*Big ups to author Stephanie Casher for sending me the video. Our army marches on, girl!!!
Maury and His "Baby Daddy" Shows Have Officially Jumped The Shark.

Check out this video from Shawty Putt and Lil Jon called "Dat Baby". I believe it's been out for more than a month now, but I'm just hearing about it. Whatever the case, I have no words. None. Not one.

I'm so glad they named these teens and put their faces all over the news and internet for what they did to that poor girl, even though they were underage. If more teens were treated like adults when they commit heinous crimes, maybe most of this nonsense would cease.
This is why I will always love the Jiggaman. He's just smart, and there's nothing sexier to me than a smart, shrewd, ambitious, forward-thinking man who's always trying to get his hustle on...
Jay-Z plans to depart his longtime record label, Def Jam, for a roughly $150 million package with the concert giant Live Nation that includes financing for his own entertainment venture, in addition to recordings and tours for the next decade. The pact, expected to be finalized this week, is the most expansive deal yet from Live Nation, which has angled to compete directly with the industry's established music labels in a scrum over the rights to distribute recordings, sell concert tickets, market merchandise and control other aspects of artists' careers.
Hustlers, take note: this is how you do it. No time for sleeping and making excuses. Get off your asses and make moves. The world hands you nothing. You've gotta go out there and get it.
Let's give it up for the Roc Boy. And here's some music to go along with it!!!
