Quick Quotes

"Do you know how many people live in fear? Fear runs in our community. It's easier to assimilate. Being an individual takes much courage."

"We're all made up of X and Y chromosomes. I'm just utilizing both. I'm an expression of both. It's not about labels or stereotypes."

"Someone has to be a trendsetter. And they tend to find out about them when they are dead. I am a trendsetter and they won't get that now."

PS I Love You

It's been a minute since the Tast King of Zestland razzled dazzled us common folk with his presence. Andre Leon Talley came out to show his boy Kimora Lee Simmons some love at the Baby Phat Fall 2008 [more flicks from the later if I'm not feeling lazy]. I bet he is hiding a bag of dicks under his hat.

I love Dre but somebody needs to track Frank Lucas down so he can burn that ensemble he [and his little friends] is wearing in his fire place.

Black & Proud




Now this is the way to kick off Black History Month. BV is clearly a website after my heart after naming Gaymonn a/k/a/ Andre J as one of the top 25 future Black history makers. You can hate if you want but you'll be wasting your time! Here's what they had to say about our boy:

FASHION - Andre J

This bearded muse (yes, bearded) acquired international fame when he appeared on French Fashion Vogue's cover in 2007 with Estee Lauder model Carolyn Murphy. Not since RuPaul has a black man in women's clothing shot to superstar status. While RuPaul was the first crossover pop singer, Andre ("don't call me a drag queen") J stands to crossover into mainstream fashion. Love him or hate him, he engenders a powerful response. In the least, he represents fashion's tenets of art and expression.


Samwell, Britney Houston, and Reh Dogg are on deck for '09!

[Thanks Tee]

Bow In The Presence of Greatness


More Ovaltine please!

After the buffoonery that was in the last post we've gotta put C+D back in its natural rhythm. What better way to do that than with a dab of zest?

More flicks coming soon. I know you want the whole beehive but you're just going to have to be satisfied with this taste of honey.

Zest On Ice


Usher participated at NHL Rockin' Skate 2008 over the weekend in ATL. I know what you are thinking, random gig eh? Maybe, but until he starts shaking his ass in a peacock corset [for public display of course] my mouth is shut. Mrs. Raymond has needs, ya'll. I'm sure the monthly up keep cost on that - - nevermind.






This is for the cool in you.

Quick Quotes



"Zest is the secret of all beauty. There is no beauty that is attractive without zest." - - Christian Dior

CO-SIGN. I have been saying this for years. Everybody and their greasy granny have been forwarding me pictures of a group of young lovelies who I have been referring to as Tang Phi Tang for the past couple of days or so. I don't know much about this organization but I would love to make a generous donation to it. Snap for the kids!

You Sent It // Certified Tang


Fresh,

I check out your site everyday! You are a fool for the comments that you make.

Attached is a photo that I saw of Kirk Franklin with Miss Sophia-a radio personality here in ATL (who is a male but on the radio talks like a female and sometimes dresses like one, but is very funny). But on the radio, she/he does a segment called girl talk.

I usually catch it in the morning, but I missed it this morning, so I vent to the website to listen to. While on the website, I say this questionable picture and started to laugh out loud because I don't know who looks sweeter, Miss Sophia or Kirk Franklin! But either way, both of their lip gloss is popping.

Enjoy and hope you post, cause I found it to be funny


[Thanks MJ!]

Peace Be With You

If Gaymonn's angelic smile and lovely lips can't bring peace to Darfur then I don't know what will. I'm just saying, I feel a sense of solace right now by just looking at my boy. . . ergh, genderless friend.

[Thanks Seattle Slim]

YouTube Clip of the Day




What better way to kick off this week's craziness than a video of Gaymonn talking about maintaning his zest game? Damn I love YouTube.

That's Right


I hope everybody had a safe Turkey Day and all that jazz. Things will be back to normal tomorrow but for now please enjoy this New York muthafuckin' Times on article Gaymonn. Thanks to all who sent an email! Me love you long time.


WHAT follows is, in brief (well, not so brief), the curious tale of how a handsome black man who can also look an awful lot like a beautiful black woman, except with better legs than most and a beard, happened to end up on the November cover of French Vogue.


The time was summer 2007. The man, who goes by the name Andre J., and who was born Andre Johnson 28 years ago in Newark, and who is a sometime party promoter and former perfume salesclerk at Lord & Taylor and former publicist at Patricia Field’s boutique and current downtown personage (an “It” person, as he was termed in Paper magazine), was running out of his apartment on Thompson Street in the Village for lunch.

It was a hot day. On this particular scorcher, Andre J. had chosen to stay cool in a neon green caftan and gold gladiator sandals. His hair, which, pulled taut, measures 24 inches in length and which he usually wears in a bouffant nimbus that gives him the appearance, as a magazine stylist recently remarked, of “a big Afro-daisy,” was dressed that day in a 1970s Wet & Wild style and covered in a enormous white turban à la Nina Simone.



This was not an unusual grab-a-sandwich ensemble, as Andre J. is quick to point out. “That’s me every day, honey,” Andre J. said on Friday, right before a party at a club called Runway to honor his election to the elite cover girl sorority, Gallic chapter.

“Most people are conditioned to think of a black man looking a certain way,” Andre J. went on. “They only think of the ethnic man in XXX jeans and Timberlands, and here Andre J. comes along with a pair of hot shorts and a caftan or maybe flip-flops or cowboy boots or a high, high heel.” [continue]

Gaymonn should be cast as the lead character in the remake of 'Mahogany.' I can see him on the big screen now.

The Ambiguously Gay Duo




I'm not one to just toss out random theories but I am going to have to say that Go-Go's zest is freeze dried and packaged like astronaut food. It's always oh so fresh! He has been cultivating that shit since he was kid. I hope his childhood friends know now what was going on when he would "accidentally" caress their nuts while hiking the football. I'm not hating though, get it how you live it.

Scott Storch . . . not today. That boy makes my soul fizz like pop rocks and soda. Powder is definitely killing you hoes.

Jessica White, Who?



Not too many people can stand next to Amanda Lepore and hold their own. Gaymon's long, silky weave is a delightful contrast to his scruffy beard. He unleashed his zest during the Night Life Awards at Spotlight New York City on Monday. Tell the truth and shame the devil, you wouldn't hit that?

Fill in the Blank



Star and Al (collectively known as "Stale" to some peeps) shook their tail feathers at Kenny Burns' 35/40 B-day Extravaganza on Saturday. Check out your boy! Son couldn't wait until it was actually cold enough to pull out his LL Cool J hoodie. Bodying. You. Hoes.

Al is listening to the best of ____________ on his ipod.


More flicks of these two crazy kids heating up the night under the cut.




Is that man wearing Al's hoodie or vice versa? Interesting.

A Nation of Slickies




Don't you just love morning tang? It's been pretty peaceful on the Slickback Ivanhoe front but luckily Haute Girl stumbled across this picture of him along with his micro-slickies. Doesn't this warms the deepths of your soul? It looks like a Sears Portraint Studios special. We are family, like a giant tree, branching outwards the sky!
