Carta: Wait, Let Me Fix My Hair

So back in 06' I won the Best Scissors Award at La' Jenkins Beauty School ( kidding). On a serious note: Ladies and Gents, keep your hair together. A lot of people tend to ask my advice on hair. For men, I say the importance is hair maintenance. I’d suggest a haircut or lineup at least once a week in order to keep a fresh look. Fellas, we have it easy.

Personally, I actually carry a pair of scissors in my man-bag to pull out whenever I see a string of hair sticking up.
(Some people are addicted to liquor and crack) Let me have this one.

In order for a girl to be “beat” (a well-kept girl that everyone is astounded by when she walks into a room), I suggest GOOD extensions. Ladiesdon't be afraid; extensions give you a totally different look or can at least give your hair more volume at any length. However the key once again is MAINTENANCE. Whatever you decide to do, just make sure your hair looks healthy and avoid over-greasing. We all want for you to have natural looking hair.

PS.
LADIES: THIS BOB THING IS GETTING LATE. Beyonce did it back in 03 with the "Me Myself and I" video and Rihanna pumped it under an umbrella all this summer. Everyone is getting one now and it's starting to become overkill. FELLAS: These 80's parts? I mean it was hot this spring of ‘07 but it is beginning to look a bit childish. You’re 29 with some parts in your head,
NONSENSE.

Remember people, we are our own billboards!!!

That's all.

She likes BKC. I like Epiphany.

I think it's very important to surround yourself with a positive team of people. Fresh ideas are always grown. It's such an organic feeling when you've found your inner circle. Who do you influence?

She likes BBC. I like Lanvin.

We're back at it again. Another year a harder hustle. 2 different coast. New York-our future home. Atlanta-our playground. Sham & I work together because we are so different. She's has the swagg and I have the in your face attitude. It's the perfect mix. She's simple. Im complex. We never try too hard. All this comes natural.

She likes Pharrell. I like Kanye.

Sham & I met almost 2 years ago. From that moment I knew we would be partners in this game. I remember our first meeting, it was at a photoshoot for LateBoots. I walked in the room and said "hi Sham it's nice to finally meet you", then we just went to work. It was so natural.

She's Edie. Im Andy.

Since we are a duo so many people say we remind them of Edie Sedgwick & Andy Warhol. She's the girl everybody likes. Im the guy that everybody loves to hate. Im cocky, arrogant, an asshole at times yet she is the georgia peach. She really isn't. I just get blamed for everything because Im the obvious bad guy. She is worse than me.

She's Brooklyn. Im Harlem.

Summer '08 we both interned in New York. She did Complex and I was at GIANT Magazine. I stayed in Harlem and she was in Brooklyn. She hated coming to Harlem and I hated going all the way out to BK. For our move to NYC we're gonna share an apartment, we're tossing a coin to determine where we'll stay.

She likes Michael. I like Prince.

We always argue who's the best performer out of the two. I believe Prince was for obvious reasons. He had swagg, what man do you know can get away with wearing heels and make-up? If you ask me Michael did all of that work to his face so he could look like Prince.

She likes Nike. I like YSL.

I once tried to buy a pair of Nike sneakers but they were to boyish for me. Trade is what you call it. Nike called up Sham and she went to New York to make her very own sneaker. It was dope. I would wear it. But instead I purchased some YSL sneakers. I like YSL.

She likes Marc Jacobs. I like Genevieve Jones.

I first saw Jones on style.com, I was like who is this skinny black girl tipping around New York. She's so chic. When Sham & I were in New York this past summer she actually met Jones at an event. I was sick because I should've been the one in the picture.
