Style Jury:Wayward Titties

Porschla, ReRe + Catfish

I see you Catfish Wilkerson!

ReRe the Body is a repeat offender when it comes to appearing at events with her comatose pocarras proudly on display. I’m not sure if she has a bra on or what but those shits are sleeping harder than Rip Van Winkle.

What’s your verdict on women who go out in public without a bra on? What should be the cut off cup size for women who want to let it all hang out?

Style Jury: Raven Symone

Ah shit, little Olivia is giving off some major Melinda Doolittle vibes. DO. NOT. WANT!

Raven Symone hit the red carpet at a recent event looking like the host of the 1984 Miss Black Baltimore pageant. Crunkster TeanBean thinks that she is trying to bring back Countess Vaugh’s 227 jheri curl but hey, at least she would pass Yung Berg’s pool test with flying colors. What’s your verdict?

Master P Comes To Wally World

Master P and son Romeo have cut the prices on their clothing line P. Miller [that’s not a joke] for retail giant Wal-Mart. The question now is will kids actually want to wear that shit.

The father-son duo’s clothing, which they have dubbed “The Great American Brand,” is aimed at teens and young adults, and will now be available at Wal-Mart stores nationwide, becoming the discount chain’s first African-American hip-hop supplier.

While brands like Polo, Sean John and True Religion jeans sell anywhere from $90 to $200 for a shirt or a pair of jeans, a P. Miller t-shirt will sell for just $9, and jeans for $20, making them much more afford for kids who want that hip-hop fashion for a fraction of the price.

“I figured out a way to make clothes affordable for inner-city families,” said Master P. “We use the same factories and the same materials as Sean John, Rocawear, and Ed Hardy. These are quality clothes you’d normally find at a department store like Macy’s. Now you can pick up the same high-end fashion at an affordable price.

“Kids don’t need to worry anymore about being bullied at school for wearing old clothes,” continued Master P. “Likewise, parents don’t need to choose between filling up the gas tank or filling up the closet. We’re helping families dress fresh for less.” [source]

Percy and Romeo have also created a women’s line called Miller Peaches, which will sell for $10 or less. P. Miller brand shoes, jewelry, fragrances, and eco-friendly organic cotton clothes are also in the works.

Style Jury: Mandals

And so the chancletas discussion begins.

Go-Go’s recent decision to rock a pair of mandals while vacationing has sparked a fashion debate on whether men should sport them or not. I don’t see the problem with fellas wanting their toes to breathe during the summer months just as long as their shit doesn’t look like eagle claws. Same rules apply to women, ahem, please and thanks. What’s your verdict?

Fever Pitch

OMG, it’s like the clash of the titans all over again! 50 Cent took a cue from foe Ja Rule and decided to use fresh juices from berries . . . okay, a Duke kit, in his hair in this new promo flick while Kanye stepped out looking like a nerd with swag [also the name of a dope site] at the Lanvin fashion show during Paris Fashion Week. Who was giving off more fever?

Chaka Kahn rocked a freak’um HAZMAT suit while on stage in Sydney, Australia while Gucci Mane kept it gutta in a wife beater and oversized fugazi jewelry at Atlanta’s Hot 107.9’s Birthday Bash. Who was giving off more fever?

Style Jury: Heelarious Heels

Sized to fit 0-6 month old infants, Heelarious Heels high heels are advertised as “extremely funny, completely soft, fully functional high heel crib shoes for babies” but they just look like some House of Dereon teeny weeny fuckery to me. What’s your verdict on these micro- stilettos?

Style Jury: Nas

 Mr. Jones Nas nas3.jpg  

Jesus hold my mule, I thought this was Lupe Fiasco at first. Time to book an appointment at the optical center in Wal-Mart. [Even though they always mess up on your prescription at least three times before getting it right, you can’t beat those crackhead prices!]

Nas gets his DayGlo on in this spread for Complex magazine. What’s your verdict on Nasir’s funky fashion direction? Peep more of Mr. Jones at Necole Bitchie.
