Feeling tiny next to my...NY GIANTS

Yesterday was an amazing day! Our very own NY Giants were having a photoshoot with AKOO Clothing in collaboration with Dr.Jays. We had D.Grant, C.Webster,K.Phillips,T.Thomas, A.Ross, A.Rolle, all starters. The photoshoot took place in the AKOO showroom in NY, we had stylists, photographers and The Daily News on hand. It was amazing to see the camaraderie between the guys, they actually all get along! The guys were so humble and took direction, they are truly professionals!
The after party was at Slate and who can say "no" to some Monday Night Football! The place was packed, with celebs, athletes and industry folks. Chili came in with El Debarge which was a little odd... I'm still confused about that one... In all it was a great day and those wings on our table didnt stand a chance!
*Stay tuned for pics!

HIP HOP HISTORY MONTH WITH JDM


Listen to
The “Jackie Speaks” Show
Exclusively
on www.UrbanLatinoRadio.fm Thursdays 8-10pm Est

E: Jackiedamodel@gmail.com

November is Hip Hop History Month and I had the pleasure of attending an official Zulu Nation 37th Anniversary event at The Hip Hop Culture Center at Magic Johnson Theater in Harlem NYC.



My personal VIP invitation came from no other than Supreme Selo and Lord Yoda of Zulu themselves. The event was a peaceful unity among all that believe in what Zulu has to offer and Hip Hop in our society. We were accompanied by all our friends such as Afrika Bambaata, Black Spades, Gustapos, DJ Johnny Juice, Cheesecake RSC, BPS Productions, Straightman, Elijio Rivera "Jinx the tee shirt king", Ness, Pop Master Fabel, Ice T, Coco Chanel, Beenie Siegel, Big Daddy Kane, Immortal Technique, The Cold Crush Brothers, and so many more.

JDM, Supreme Selo

JDM, Straightman Zulu and Jose BPS

I got to catch a tag on a soon to be piece of memorabilia from the event..




I made myself useful for a while helping Jinx the Tee Shirt King with his vendor table and convinced a kid to buy the last shirt in a size small.. he changed on the spot proud to rep for the anniversary!




It was packed to the tee with vendors selling Zulu memorabilia, artwork, good food, hip hop gear, drinks etc. I had some rice and peas, mac and cheese and jerk chicken ..and umm a nutcracker SHHHHHHH ;)

I also got some shirts courtesy of Jinx the Tee Shirt King.. it was a great night!

A new liquor by Ice T was on display and came in all different types of bottles or containers shaped like everyday items such as a cane that easily slides open to reveal the drink, or a high heel shaped bottle..DOPENESS!!!!



Performances ensued thru the evening and I have photos to show coming up soon.. let's just say it was the illest lineup and if you missed it your probably under a rock! I wont get too crazy with details.. but I will say someone made a statement "You wont hear any of that young money-lil wayne or nicki minaj up in here .. this is TRUE HIP HOP!" and I lost it laughing to myself.. there are so many people who idolize Young Money lately and have no idea about Hip Hop History.. I appreciate the old and the new but I LOVE The true!!

So much to write so little time I will be back with an update and edit this post JUST FOR YOU!!

Peace and Blessings .. Jackie da Model aka BABY J! ;)

OK so I know I missed you guys Wed on my usual post up day, and Thur due to work. Better late then never! I have been going through a bit of some family issues and haven't been focused much lately because of it! Despite the sorrow in family life, I have a little something for you guys to ponder.....

I was searching the net for some funny pictures editing something for "The Sweet Life" and came across a photo that in the posting was dead serious in selling and thought it was a hit!

I am alllllll about fashion and innovation, I am also for pushing the envelope and making trends, not following rules... but hmm this is just a whole other ball game to me!!!

(Insert Drum roll here )


Unless you're the costume designer for the animated comedy "Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs" Then you have no business even trying to put this out there!! I'm just saying! This isn't even stated as a costume but as a "Trend" ummmmmm *scratching head*...
To save the maker the embarrassment I'm just going to leave the names out of it and freely talk smack about this tragedy! Well kiddies, that it for now! There isn't much else to say about this, since it screams for itself! :)
Till next time....

A Splash of Sexiness...for the Ladies!

For anyone who knows me knows I'm the first one to enjoy a nice piece of "Eye Candy" so I thought I would remind some ladies and introduce to you for those who may not know... Jason... remember him from BET's 2009 series "Harlem Heights" ?!!!  For those of you who may not have had the opportunity to see the show, he was the Harlem native and single dad raising his adorable little girl all while starting his non-profit organization which reached out to kids who have parents who are incarcerated. Honestly... he was the only reason why I watched the show in the first place. If they showed more of him the show may have lasted another season... but anyway... I don't want his sexiness to go unrecognized or forgotten and believe me nothing is sexier than a fine man who handles his business and is doing good things for his community in the process!




Here's a recent tweet and twitpic from @MrYoungHarlem in reference to his daughter...









Too cute! Oh and for all of the ladies who were wondering what his nationality is... He's Black and Dominican (A certified Urban Latino!!!).... Owwwwwww!

Follow on him on twitter @MrYoungHarlem

LIL KIM RESPONDS TO ROMANS REVENGE NOV 6 2010



Oh just when I wondered what she was gonna do... Lil Kim came back to say:

"I kill sickie garbage wit my old shit!"

"I will erase her social security number"

"my records didn't just make it to the charts they made history"

KIM is still the QUEEN BEE...they may have their differences but KIM is Nicki's mentor in many ways.. so when Nicki says "oh I never dissed her, i pay homage".. then turns the story around every once in a while that deflates the respect many have for her.

New Nicki Minaj Feat Eminem "Roman's Revenge"

 

Nicki Minaj has an Alter ego "Roman Zolanski". She recently came out with the record "Roman's Revenge" featuring Eminem. She goes on to pitch wordplay that clearly shows her feelings toward the  Queen Bee-Lil Kim. Now some would say that she completely tore Lil Kim down from the top of her pedestal while others couldn't read between the lines because it was before their time. Lil Kim has been in the game for years and Nicki Minaj's fan base consists of all ages but mainly young girls fantasizing the "Barbie idea" and those kids have no idea who Lil Kim is. I think Nicki is comparable to 50 Cent.. we may not always like what he says in his songs but he catches our attention and he is a marketing guru therefore commercial, gangsta, or heartfelt he is making it in the industry. Let Nicki do her, right now she is what the public is gravitating toward. Eventually someone new will come out and history will repeat itself with yet another talent who deserves a moment of fame that may or may not use publicity stunts like beef to get to where they need to go.

OMG... I need this dress in my life!!!

As I was on my lunch break this afternoon strolling down 40th Street, I walked past BCBG Max Azria and almost gave myself whip lash when I saw this dress in the window! The first thing that came to mind was that this dress would be perfect for New Years Eve when I go to Miami! But who am I kidding... I knew I wouldn't be able to afford the dress anyway but I decided to tease myself even more and just go into the store and look at it anyway. I just couldn't help myself!




This dress is BCBG Max Azria's Striped Tulle Detailed Dress ...and at a price tag of $348.00 we'll have to wait and see if Santa will bring this to me for Christmas. I've been a good girl this year! ;)

Check out www.bcbg.com !

Needing a night with the girls!
