Yup, just when you thought you had heard of every type of accessory for your Nano—well—now you have—the iPod Nano Thong! The guys over at iPodStreet are selling a thong shaped case for the iPod Nano.

Well Styleaholics -- I know many of you are still fretting over what to get that loved one. Whether it be your girl, guy or somewhere in between here are two lil items for both of you. This old-school mahogany shave bowl with shaving soap is perfect for the urban gentleman with an appreciation for classic English grooming products. Not only does it look really cool and dapper to be seen using this bowl—key point for all of my male Styleaholics-but a “wet” shave is actually the better shave to have-or I think that’s what I read somewhere. Nice n’ Smooth is Funky, all you shaving junkies, all we wanna do is Kiss, Kiss, on you …. Guys melt your ladies heart--with a lil hot lovin! The Melting Love necklace designed by Yayoi Forest from Matter! Better than a box of chocolates, it's subtle design echoes a smoldering sort of style that's hard to duplicate. With this lil trinket both her EYES and her PANTIES will get a bit moist. LOL. Happy V Day Styleaholics!

Styleaholic Pick-Nicholas Beauty Products!

2007-01-08T06:58:00.000-08:00

I decided to travel outside Manhattan and go to a place everyone must know by now: BROOKLYN! Yes, “BK THE HOME OFF BIGGIE AND JAY” is one of the most known boroughs thanks to Christopher Wallace a.ka. Biggie Smalls and Jigga a.k.a. H.O.V.A or Jay Z. Whether it’s the best borough….hmmm lets save that one shall we? Another blog; another time. So, I went to Brooklyn and passed by NICHOLAS, a store full of your best African American interests. They offer a plethora of items. From Beauty products, influential books, clothing (mostly rasta), to incense. Being the beauty freak that I am, I headed straight over to the beauty products. I was full of joy. Made with all natural ingredients, Nicholas offers Nubian body scrubs, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, hair crème, soaps, facial scrubs, etc I can go on and on and on!

2007-01-05T07:01:00.000-08:00

Hey Ladies!!! I was looking through a well known magazine and saw a pair of pants I quickly grew fond of. I went to their website (www.remedybrand.com) and saw a plethora of apparel that ticked my fancy. Remedy brand has a very unique website---take a look and let me know what you think! Most people think when I say the word unique I mean difficult. In fact, it’s quite the contrary. It’s different, not difficult. Moving along! So I was perusing the site when I saw Ryder Trousers. The cropped pants are very stylish- ULTRA STYLEAHOLIC! I was ready to try them on the first time I laid eyes on them. The form fits well to your shape, which is very sexy because who doesn't want to show off a lil booty action..lol. I

Hang 'em on a Hook

2007-01-04T07:11:00.000-08:00

Being a Styleaholic myself, I’m always interested in quirky gadgets and getups- but this invention was just a funky design on something everyone has in their home. The hook, or shall I say, the metal stretched out question mark look-alike is a no stranger to our humble abodes. In fact, you must be living in the Stone Age if you’ve never seen one. So when I saw this hook (look over left please) I was aghast to see that not only is it for hanging coats, keys, or handbags upon, but you can also use it as a mail holder. Pretty nifty, eh? Well at least I thought so. Available in White, Orange, Teal and Charcoal Gray. Available at www.uptoyoutoronto.com

Styleaholic Pick--Mirai Wellness Nail Spa

2007-01-03T07:02:00.000-08:00

Now Ladies and Gents- I truly bumped into this place by accident. I didn’t mean to even walk in here, but it was there. Has that ever happened to you? You have plans to visit a certain place and you keep getting distracted by other stores and end up not even going to the place you desired? Damn, I hate it when that happens! But oh well, like I always say things happen for a reason. Now, I’m not too sure of the reason why I walked into this store-as I said in the beginng of this blog- I just did. So what is this place you ask? It’s a SPA OF COURSE! Come on! I was attracted to the water softly cascading down the fountain. Instantly my soul felt at peace and I knew I had to write and tell you guys about it. I asked the owner what services they offer and she asked me “What was I looking forward to getting?” I then looked at my hands and said to myself “OH MY GOODNESS THE ATROCITY!!!!!” I told her “A manicure”. My eyes began to wander before I left the store and I noticed a celebrity, a cute one I might add! I’ll give you a hint: It’s a male. *laughs* He was taking care of his body and I can definitely appreciate that. If you’re in Brooklyn, please check out Mirai Wellness Nail Spa. (718) 875-0369

The Big Book of Breasts

2006-12-28T08:09:00.000-08:00

Simply amazed by the female body? If not, YOU SHOULD BE!! THE FEMALE BODY ROCKS!!! Being a female myself, living in this body definitely has its perks. Since puberty made its dramatic presence into my life at a young age, girls at school would come to me and say “I wish I had your chest because all the boys look at you”, or I’ll say to myself “Damn, I’m a size small, now I have to get a medium sized shirt just because of my breasts!” Yea, I’ve definitely have had those awkward moments. Now, at the respectful age I am today, I can fully appreciate my body and say that I am proud of the bangin bod I have! Wouldn’t change a thing! Why bring this up, you ask? Well…. I came across a book- a 420 paged book I might add of models in the nude bearing all! The Big Book of Breasts by Dian Hanson consists of “…beautiful black and white and color photographs, dozens of iconic, infamous models and their generous and extraordinary breasts stand as a provocative testament to the power of the dangerous, natural curve.”

Just to inform you, there are different types of what you call a Big Bag.

Feeling a lil Presidential?

2006-12-04T10:42:00.000-08:00

In order to know where you’re going, you have to know where you came from. Styleaholics, don’t you agree? In this case I’m talking about the good ‘ole U.S. of A. This country was built upon living the dream of Life, Liberty, & the Pursuit of Happiness. (With a lil human cargo and corruption thrown in..but that's another post) LOL. Events that happened in the past have a lasting effect on what can come about for our future. The movie Bobby (now playing nationwide) focuses on the Presidential campaign & assignation of Bobby Kennedy, John F. Kennedy’s brother. Watch the star- studded movie and go back in time to see a man of his caliber who was way before his time. PSPS: You can catch me kicking it with Joy Bryant on my archived show Black Style, at www.styleaholics.com, she's one of the heavy hitters in this film.
