Forget and go on with your life.

Dear The New Sh*t Blog Viewers.. Just something i wanted to share with you guys,
Dont u love Madea.. Shes always right..

It’s all right sit around and be depressed for a minute, cry about it do whatever you have to do.
But don’t stay there to long..!

Get up and go on with your life!

This is what I learned

If somebody want to walk out of your life. LET THEM GO!

Especially if you know you have done everything you can do.
You have sat around been the best man or woman you can be and they still want to go?
LET THEM GO!

Whatever they running after they will see what they had in a minute.
But by then it would be too late!

Cause half these people you have been sitting around crying about and worry about, 2, 3 years from now you ain’t gonna even remember there last name.

How many times you have seen folks somewhere, you will be like what the hell was I thinking! What was wrong with me what was I been going through! Must have been lonely as hell that I had to hook up with you.

Let folks go!


Some people come into your life for a lifetime; some come for a season you got to know which is which. And your gonna always mess up if you mix season people up with lifetime expectations.

You have to learn to be yourself; people have to learn to be alone. I don’t understand people who say stuff like; lord where’s my man lord where’s my woman that is crazy as hell. If you don’t know how to learn to be by yourself, what you gonna do with somebody else. STOP PRAYING ABOUT IT!
Shut up and wait! Go work on you that’s what that time is for, to get your self together.

You know u love me -xoxo- KIMI.

Dasha Zhukova

I really admire this beautifull

Russian billionaire, fashion designer and socialite Dasha Zhukova is best known as the girlfriend of Roman Abramovich, born in Moscow and raised in Los Angeles.

|| She keeps it real ||
Her outfits include “black shirt tucked into bandage skirt, black high stilettos , no makeup, hair tied or loosely back.” An article says that “up close her skin is as dewy as a 16-year-old’s and she has mesmerizingly flawless teeth.” She also peppers her California-accented speech with phrases like “Or whatever” and “oh cool.”

Dasha Zhukova & Christina Tang

|| She's her own person ||
Ms. Zhukova doesn’t like being referred to as Roman’s girlfriend, but as a cultural force in her own right. She refuses in the Guardian article even to confirm their widely reported relationship. Still, Russians say her gallery will be big largely because of the money and profile of Mr. Abramovich.

It is easy, of course, to see Ms. Zhukova as just another oligarch princess frittering away millions in her quest for social standing and substance. But at least she’s doing something honorable with her money–helping to boost the profile of contemporary art and culture in Russia. It sure beats buying handbags.

She also teamed up with her best friend Christina Tang in L.A. to creat the understated but edgy line. named; Kova&T

Kova&T’s Oxy legging was a hit. The shimmery second skin looks like the bottom of Catwoman’s unitard and is being worn by stylish Russian girls; Kate Moss and the Olsen twins have popped them on with high-top sneakers, vintage T-shirts and fedoras.

Dutch rapper Dio: one year later

Debut single cover Dio “Het is je Boy”

Wow a year passes by so quikly....!!!! And I realised it when I got this e-mail from Dio, Dutch rapper, about shooting his first video for his debut single. I met this "such funny" guy via The Opposites when they released their new single called Dom Lomp & Famous, translated Dumb Clumsy & Famous.....yep don't ask what the song is about, let me just say if you could understand it...well never mind. Anyway Dio was featuring on this song and it was a huge hit in NL. At the same time, the smartass he his, he participated with De grote prijs van Nederland, wich is a contest for music artists. Despite his so called succes with the single, he did not won the contest Booohooo, I even supported him in freakin Zwolle which is up all north from Holland and because we're from Amsterdam it was a F*cking long trip!, but we supported him!!!! Anyway, it did'nt hold back Dio to move forward, because he also featured on the soundtrack from the Dutch movie "Alibi" with the Partysquad.

Then I read it...he finally got his record deal with Dutch record label Top-Notch and is going to release his debut album Rock & Roll on November 7th 2008. Yessir!!!! His first single is called "Het is je Boy" and his video was shot recently. So I thought, why should'nt I wright about him on our blog?! So as you can see I did. The day of the video was crazy, LOL, but most of all support. His friends came to join him in the video and Dio the man himself was full of energy even though he was a bit tired because he performed the night before at Valtifest. At the end, we had LOL like always!!!!

Streetlab Amsterdam 2008

Streetlab is a 4-day event for people that like street art, fashion, live perfomances, anyway creative minds coming together.

Fashion show by local and national designers

As you can see there is art, but also the love for sneakers.

There was another reason why I came to this event, because a friend of mine Miss JaydeeCakes Tucker was showing her designs. During Amsterdam International Fashion Week, she was also showing her designs, but unfortunetly I could'nt be there, so I promised her to come to Streetlab. So there I was, the weather was not that great, but thank god it was not raining!!!! You had 2 different area's, one for food and one for the performances. The show started at 7PM and it looked great! Some even combined their fashion show with B-boying and with skip rope. They also made 2 floors of containers, where different brands from magazines to designers to art etc showing their creations.

Miss JaydeeCakes Tucker showing her dress!

Designers that participated in the previous Streetlab events showed their creations too

And to finish our evening, my friend Sule and I went to the Melkweg to see Turk, he also performed at Streetlab, and Jawat. We had a wonderfull, creative, crazy, surpising evening!

up and running in production..

I just got home, glanced at the clock and realized it is almost 4pm in the afternoon. Since it's so late (err... early depending on how you look at it) I'll keep this short. I never really noticed until LL text message me to hook up at her place and photograph our friend for MonsterCreator MGMT Model Casting Agency , so i got up got dressed and went to her place.. it's actually really strange how we just came together.

I guess you never can predict who in this lifetime will make an impact on you. Tonight was fun, crazy (embarrasing as always) and forever memorable (hahaha.... once again.... good or bad, depending on how you look at it..)
For now a few pictures of our new model Noël .. He's adorable..

Model: Noël

Models up and running in production with more to come so keep an eye on what we casting...

Oui Oui Paris.

Arriving in Paris; My Goyard Trunks
Pictures made with my BlackBerry.

I was flying out from Amsterdam Schiphol on friday lunchtime, I arrived at Amsterdam Schiphol a few minutes later, checked in for my flight and bought a copy of NYLON Magezine. My flight was delayed by just over an hour but I finally arrived at Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport and waited for my train. On the platform were two French people, one of which was playing crap French music through her crap, tinny-sounding mobile phone speakers. It’s both disturbing and reassuring to see that this isn’t just a Amsterdams phenomenon. When the train arrived, it was crammed, dirty and far too hot. Anyway, I finally got to my hotel with around 90 minutes to spare before I had to get on a cab at the hotel Costes that would take us to dinner. Plenty time for a shower and a leisurely stroll. Or so I thought. As it turns out we were to late for dinner so we only went to the party in Club VIP ROOM. Arriving in Club VIP ROOM, the people were so nice they guided us to our vip table where we seated.. and opened the night with a bottle of Crystal Champagne & Grey Goose

2 be continued....
