"In The Streets Of New York ... Dope Fiends Are Leaning From Morphine And T.V. Screens Follow The Homicide Scenes"

Hitting Newsstands Next Month: 50 Cent Covers The Dec. 2009/Jan.2010 Issue Of XXL Magazine x Is Set To Drop "I Go Off" With Beanie Sigel This Friday.




CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: The abbreviation for 50 Cent's newest, already leaking like liquor through a cheap corner store plastic cup, album B.efore I. S.elf D.estruct could easily be slightly altered and reinterpreted as B.ecause I. S.elf P.romote ... lol.

Ever the opportunist, the man covering next month's year end double issue of XXL is set to release a brand new single alongside disgruntled former Roc-A-Fella employee Beanie Sigel this Friday. Ohhhhhhhhh, "I Go Off" drops on Friday October 13th, 2009! The promotional tag line for this record reads: "Friday the 13th ... The nightmare begins". Shiver me timbers! LOL!

All bullshit aside, expect the Broad Street Bully to go in on this joint and expect 50 Cent to reap the rewards. It is what it is.

Amber Rose Struts Her Stripper Stuff In South Beach, Miami 11-09-09.







CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: On the real, I don't care what yall say about this lady! We have already established that her natural Eau de Parfum is an enchanting mix of Newport™ 100's Cigarettes and Hennessy and, now, it would seem that her chief national export is sexxxy. Much like when dialing 1-800-M-A-T-T-R-E-S we are instructed to leave off the last "S" for "savings", I had to add "xxx" to the word sexy when describing this potty mouthed pouty lipped princess for "xtra-xtra-xtra" nasty (NOTE: And I sincerely mean that in the best possible way). Stop playing.

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: I for 1 can certainly attest to the immense damage that a night of bombing and torturing the city with throwies and tags can do to an individuals body ...

The Brand New Leaders 1354 Timberwolves/Seahawks Cap = Fitted To Perfection!


Available Here: Leaders1354.Com

The First Lady Of LiveStyle Says: I'm Sorry! I've been so busy running around being a burgeoning She-E.O. that I have been neglecting my duties to Y.O.U. - not only as a LiveStyle Lady but as a brand rep for Leaders 1354 as well. I gotta hold my family down!

As Y.O.U. can see, the colorway for this cap was inspired by the Minnesota Timberwolves/Seattle Seahawks and hit store shelves a mere 2 days ago. I don't have to tell Y.O.U. that this fitted is super limited, right? Right. Email info@leaders1354.com or call 312.787.7144 to check for size availability. I hope it's not too late! Remember Boys And Girls: Early is never early enough!

Jay-Z x Co. @ The Yankees Parade Of Champions In NYC.


Uno.



Dos.


CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: No, your eyes are not deceiving Y.O.U., that is indeed Jay-Z, Ty-Ty and O.G. Juan on a float alongside a Roc-A-Fella diamond raising A-Rod celebrating the Yankees' 27th World Series win @ yesterday's Parade Of Champions down New York City's "Canyon Of Heroes". I will say this, Jay-Z is a master finagler ... lol. Check out his performance of "Empire State Of Mind" with Alicia Keys "Replacement Killer" Bridgette Kelly in front of City Hall too. If only they knew that when he spits, "If Jeezy's paying Lebron/I'm paying Dwayne Wade" it is a heavily stylized euphemism for today's current costly cocaine prices! Y.O.U. gotta L.O.V.E. it!

Only because this jacket has become such a hot topic on and off-line since 1st being spotted on Jay-Z during his performance of "Empire State Of Mind" @ Game 2 of the 2009 World Series will I now allow Y.O.U. to be privy to its purchase details. My brother Niketown swore up-and-down that this fine jacket was a Mitchell & Ness item, however, this brilliant New York Yankees Wool/Leather 1952 Commemorative Jacket is actually made by G-III Sports. Who knew? Good shit.

"Look Inside Of The Mind And See, Original Heads, Check 1-2-3"


CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: At it's best, music is timeless. Well over a decade after it's release and Black Moon's "Killin' Every Nigga (Reality)" still manages to make me feel like I'm right back back on the corner of Franklin Avenue and Union Street in Brooklyn twisting up a bag from Bergen and Underhill in a fronto leaf (NOTE: My smoking days are well behind me. However, with the Holiday season right around the bend, I will gladly accept all charitable donations and gifts in the form of money and/or premium Whiskey. Thank Y.O.U.) ... I guess that it's kind of like how the sensation of taking a bite out of a York© Peppermint Pattie has been known to transport people to the sparkling ski slopes of the Aspens ... lol. This 1 is for my O.G. 90's crimeys. Shout out to my longest-running-friend-and-brother-from-another-mother Mr. 401 K. In life, we dream forward and understand backward. Sit with that for a minute yall. This is Livestyle.




BONUS:

Persuant to our unspoken, yet, explicity understood Livestyle user agreement, in exchange for your undying loyalty and your priceless promulgation of this fly gospel, it is my responsibility to elucidate upon my über random references and bring Y.O.U. into my world. Truthfully, I sometimes forget that A) Not all of my readers are as old as me and B) Age not withstanding, some people were not and are not the pop-culture T.V. junkie that I am.

Anyway, the above vintage T.V. commercial should clear up any confusion boys and girls. Remember: York© Peppermint Pattie is the original chocolate covered get fresh chew ... lol. Too cool for school.

50 Cent Interview On ABC's Nightline.

Helloooooo Ladies: Featured LiveStyle Lady: Anna Hovet.


"With a passion to add beautiful and interesting things to the world, Anna Hovet moved from North Dakota to Chicago in 2003. She attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she studied design, patternmaking, illustration, and fine art, and earned her BFA.

Anna’s determination to be a well-rounded designer led her to Chicago’s well-known store Akira, where she worked as a stylist and fashion show coordinator while in college. After graduating, she was hired by Kids Headquarters where she designed layette for Ecko, Calvin Klein, Kenneth Cole, and Target.

Anna is currently launching her first full collection – Anna Hovet Fall 2009 for women, and developing her newest concept – Hovet for men. She is also selling custom-made pieces to individual clients and at a local boutique.

Beyond designing, she freelances as a stylist and frequents art, music, fashion, and social events to evaluate developing trends and anticipate their usability."

The First Lady Of LiveStyle Says: I take my duties as the chief contributing LiveStyle Lady very seriously so it's only right that I present to Y.O.U. one of Chicago's finest fashion forward femme fatales: Anna Hovet. I had the distinct pleasure of being introduced to Anna's work by a mutual friend who wanted me to actually participate in creating her look-book. (Shout out to James "Mr. 10 Photos" Harris for trying ever so hard to make a model out of me! LOL!) Although I wasn't successful in doing so, I still had the pleasure of meeting Anna shortly thereafter @ Leaders where she was holding a clothing drive for Homeless Shelters in Chicago. Yes, it's true that us LiveStyle Ladies are certainly more than capable of just being fly females.. ;c ) 

As a Designer in Residence at the Chicago Fashion Incubator, Anna's work has been featured in the September issue of Lucky Magazine and recently graced the cover of The Chicago Tribune to name a few. As Y.O.U. can see, her Fall '09 collection is nothing less than amazing. The limited edition pieces are available for sale at select boutiques as well as online @ www.annahovet.com.

Although I missed the debut of her Spring/Summer '10 collection this past week in Chicago's famous Millenium Park for the kick-off of the annual Macy's Designer's of Chicago Show, thankfully, I was lucky enough to see previews of her latest enchanting collection in the confines of my Gmail. I won't spoil the surprise but I can give Y.O.U. my guarantee that Y.O.U. will be anything but disappointed when I post the Spring line in it's entirety. My advice to Y.O.U. until then: Stay Tuned! Anna has officially been LiveStyle approved. ;c )

We Are The Champions!


CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS:  Yes, powered by Hideki "Godzilla" Matsui's amazing 6 RBI performance, my New York Yankees summarily beat the Cheez-Whiz© out of the Philadelphia Phillies enroute to their record breaking 27th World Series Championship and I am overjoyed!  In light of that, rather than allowing myself to spiral out of control in a gushing hyperbolic hurricaine of words, I believe that my feelings would best be expressed by this musical selection from legendary British Rock-N-Roll royalty Queen. "No time for losers". Enjoy!
