No Labelz Mag Staff — Thu, 17 May 2012 21:17:50 +0000

Hairstyles are like fashion statements; sometimes they are timeless and sometimes they are quaint. But truly all hairstyles take the personality of the wearer. Some of the timeless pieces can be worn on a diner date, to weddings, to work, etc. Then you have the quaint yet funky pieces that can take you to different heights like fashion shows, press releases, videos,etc. Trust me there are some do’s and dont’s just like the fashion world. But not all styles are complicated styles which i call “The Mix Up”. “The Mix Up” is a hairstyle that may appear to be complicated to accomplish but, instead it may be easier than jumping rope or riding a bike. For example, the infamous Kate Moss waves, LaToya Carter “Lil Wayne’s ex-wife”curl. Then on the flip side you have something I call “Hair Medley”.

“Hair Medleys” are 2 hair styles that are combined to create one harmonious look and as you may know it to be a hair ” do”. When picking a hairstyle, all things should be taken into consideration like your facial shape, height, dressing style, and personality. For a classic girl like Halle Berry wearing Nicki Minaj hairstyles it wont work because of the two of them have completely different styles; But in the same respect their hairstyles fit their personality,dress style ,and all other factors…”Spring” hair to me is exactly that, a quick type of look (fast yet fresh) . So I have noted the top 10 looks for this season you will see : 1-ponytails (“The Mix Up”) 2-long layers 3- short pixie (“The Mix Up”) 4- natural sun kissed blondes 5- asymmetrical cuts (“HairMedley”) 6- big hair 7- beach waves (“The Mix Up”) 8- bed hair 9- natural curls 10-bob cut (triangular cuts) Examples are the pictures corresponding with same numbers below:

If you aren’t a New Yorker of a certain age, it might be difficult to understand the dumbfounded reaction to the announcement last week that two legendary archrival Urban radio stations — WBLS and 98.7 Kiss FM — would be “merging” After 30 years as spirited and often ferocious rivals, WBLS (107.5 FM) and WRKS (98.7 FM, Kiss-FM) will become “One Family, One Station. There are only a few surviving shows that will follow WRKS as they merge into one station.

WBLS (107.5 FM) will retain the popular “Open Line” public affairs show from the late Kiss-FM, WBLS program director Skip Dillard said Thursday. “Open Line,” which is cohosted by Bob Slade, James Mtume and Bob Pickett, will stay in its 10 a.m.-noon timeslot Sundays. It will follow Rev. Al sharpton, 9-10 a.m.

“Open Line” is one of the only issue-oriented talk shows on urban radio, and community groups had been lobbying WBLS for its continuation. There were also a few other shows that survived the transfer such as Steve Harvey, Lenny Green and Shaila night air personality were also one of the many few who will be joining the WBLS family.

Moving forward ESPN Radio’s, WEPN-AM, will occupy Kiss FM’s former 98.7 frequency.

Beastie Boy Mike D and Ad-Rock open up on death of their “brother”

No Labelz Mag Staff — Tue, 08 May 2012 07:30:51 +0000

The two surviving members of the Beastie Boys have broken their silence with touching tributes to rapper Adam Yauch a.k.a MCA.
“I know, we should have tweeted and instagrammed every sad, happy and inspired thought, smile or tear by now. But honestly the last few days have just been a blur of deep emotions for our closest friend, band mate and really brother. I miss Adam so much,” Michael (Mike D) Diamond wrote on Facebook Monday. Yauch, 47, died 9 a.m. Friday morning in New York presbyterian hospital after a three-year battle with cancer.
Adam Yauch co-founded the Beastie Boys with Mike “Mike D” Diamond and Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz in 1979. The band started off as a hardcore punk group, but soon began experimenting with hip-hop. The band broke huge with their first proper album, Licensed to Ill, in 1986; it was the biggest-selling rap album of the decade and the first to reach Number One on the Billboard chart. Further albums Paul’s Boutique, Check Your Head and Ill Communication cemented the Beasties as a true superstar act.

In July 2009, Yauch announced that he would be receiving treatment for a cancerous tumor in his salivary gland, and that, as a result, the Beastie Boys would cancel some future shows and push back the release of a new album. In 2011 it was erroneously reported that Yauch had beaten the disease. He responded to the rumor on the band’s website, writing: “Hello My Friends While I’m grateful for all the positive energy people are sending my way, reports of my being totally cancer free are exaggerated. I’m continuing treatment, staying optimistic and hoping to be cancer free in the near future.” Most recently, it appeared Yauch’s health had taken a turn for the worse when he proved unable to attend the Beastie Boys’ induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland on April 14.
“Adam Yauch brought a lot of positivity into the world, and I think it’s obvious to anyone how big of an influence the Beastie Boys were on me,” Eminem said in a statement.
Adam is survived by wife Dechen Wangdu and 13-year-old daughter Tenzin Losel.

The animalier bicycle is a limited edition piece of amazingness and was created with traditional artisanal mechanics – no gears and pedal activated lights. Yay for being eco-friendly. Also, the break mechanics are hidden inside the body of the bike for a clean aesthetic. Not to mention can we talk about the fact that it’s finished with 24K gold gilding? Good lord. What we’re saying right now is that you won’t be leaving this locked up overnight to the lamp post outside. Available this summer in Dolce & Gabbana boutiques in Florence, Milan, and Rome, the bikes will probably beat out the Céline luggage bag as the fashion accessory that’ll most likely get you street-style snapped.The price hasn’t yet been disclosed, but considering that this raffia Dolce & Gabbana bag is $2,280, we’re thinking it might be more economical to buy a car.
