And Now ... Ladies x Gentlemen: A Very Special Pepsi® Max Christmas Story From Snoop Dogg.

Jameson® Gold Reserve = Put The Milk x Cookies Away ... It's Time To Play.

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: My legendary predilection for a good glass of hooch notwithstanding, whiskey really is a wonderful gift for the Christmas season. Now, while a 750ml bottle of Jameson® Rarest Vintage Reserve Irish Whiskey is certainly the way to go, @ roughly $279, it might be a little too much to drop on the l-i-q's after having presumably already broken the bank copping presents for the family. Thankfully, Jameson®'s Gold Reserve is a classy alternative that is more than worthy of getting the wrapping paper and red ribbon treatment!

This full bodied "how do ya do?" is a sumptuous blend of 3 of whiskeys aged in virgin oak barrels, bourbon barrels and sherry casks - the combination of which accounts for this whiskeys subtle complexity and honey roasted sweetness. Yup, founder John Jameson would be super proud! We can't be expected drink Hennessy all of our lives, now can we? That's what we call a rhetorical question friends ... lol. Cheers!

The Maybach Sunglasses Collection = Now Y.O.U. Too Can Have Rick Ross "Rozay" Vision!

"We don't want to say it, but we must: Maybach is probably doing better with its lifestyle accessories than it is with its cars. And with some undeniably attractive options on its designer menu, you don't need to go far in search of an explanation. The line has been joined by a range of ten spectacle frames and eight different sunglasses, produced under license by German optics company IVKO.

Details on the hand-made glasses are as lavish as those found inside a Maybach 62, with piano-lacquered wood, natural horn, carbon fiber and leather-trimmed arms, titanium, 18-carat white, yellow, and rose gold frames. Lenses come from those quality glassmakers over at Zeiss.

For something more bespoke you can give your shades the coachbuilt treatment with Maybach's Individual Collection, which "will cater to various special requests and customization choices and features 18K carat gold details." Sadly, there still won't be enough room here to add a refrigerator or humidor, but you might find space for rhinos and emus to make the contributions. You'll be able to purchase them come October, when the ready-to-wear range lands at retail."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: According to the official press release for the Maybach Sunglasses Collection, "As with the distinguished interior appointments in the Maybach luxury saloons, only the highest-quality materials are used to create the luxury eyewear", and, from the looks of things, one would be hard pressed to refute such hefty claims.

From fine piano-lacquered wood, carbon fiber, natural horn and leather blanketed arms to the usage of such metals as titanium and 18-carat white, yellow and rose gold, these good money sunnies are the perfect accoutrement for distinguished Maybach owners of mode ... or merely those whom just aspire to be. Expect this full accessories line of 10 luxe lenses and 8 fancy-shmancy eyeglass frames to hit retail this October.

Yup, I guess we ALL know what to get Rick Ross for "Secret Santa" this Christmas! LOL. Good shit!

NEW MUSIC: Trey Songz Ft. Usher x Keri Hilson - Re-invented Sex AKA The Trey1N1 Epidemic Continues.

Download Link: Trey Songz Ft. Usher & Keri Kilson - Re-invented Sex

The First Lady Of LiveStyle Says: @SongzYuuup released the news about this leaked version of "Invented Sex" earlier today via Twitter featuring the legend we know as Usher and the talented Ms. Keri Hilson. She definitely bodied her verse, but it was better to hear Usher "Re-Invent Sex." Between me and Y.O.U. it almost sounded like he was trying to teach his young protegé a lesson. I wonder what my friend Rio has to say about this. Whatever the case may be, lesson learned. So what if I gave Y.O.U. a double dose of Trey today? Admit it ... it was worth it. I'm not complaining, my fellow LiveStyle Ladies aren't, and Y.O.U. better not be either! Enjoy! ;c )

Signing Off...

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Believe me, I take no joy in admitting to this, however, to thine self I must be true - I have been an active enabler in my little sister's self-destructive and debilitating Trey Songz addiction. I apologize for her behavior. She will be seeking professional help over Christmas vacation ... please keep her and other young women afflicted with the Trey1N1 virus in your prayers. Message To Aisha: Dude, get a room!

"I'm Barack Obama And I Approve This Christmas Message".

Yes, on a break from surfing and doing all kinds of awesome things with his awesome family in Hawaii for Christmas, President Elect (I like saying that) Barack Obama took the time to wish us all a very Merry Christmas. Thank Y.O.U. Barry O. Now, go catch some tubular waves and hang-10 homie!

Joy To The World!

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: I sincerely hope and pray that Y.O.U. and your loved ones had a blessed and a joyous holiday. I don't know about yall, but Santa laced me ... lol. Merry Christmas! GOD Bless.


BONUS:

F.Y.I.: Speaking of Christmas, "A Christmas Story" is the best Christmas movie ever! Bar none. Only a "fra-gee-lay" sucker would say otherwise ... lol. Y.O.U. already know or, @ least, Y.O.U. should know. Thank Y.O.U. TBS for giving me a 24 hour fix of 1 of my all time favorite flicks, Y.O.U. truly are a "Superstation".

Rankin & Bass Presents: Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer (O.G. Style Christmas L.O.V.E.)

Uno.

Dos.
Tres.
Quatro.
Cinco.

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: In the spirit of the Christmas season, I will not penalize Y.O.U. if the headline of this post did not instantly grab your attention and run a wide-eyed childlike smile straight across your adult face. If the title of this entry failed to send your criminally neglected inner child into a terrific frenzy (NOTE: I could and I probably should report Y.O.U. to BCW/CPS for inner child endangerment, but, alas, Y.O.U. get a pass ... lol) then I guarantee that the dope ass vintage videos will do the trick. Y.O.U. may not remember the names Rankin & Bass, but Y.O.U. most certainly know their work.

Founded by Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass in the early 1960s as Videocraft International, Rankin/Bass Productions Inc. revolutionized stop-motion production art (AniMagic) and gave us such Christmas cartoon classics as Frosty the Snowman, The Little Drummer Boy and everybody's favorite Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Ohhhhhhhhhhh, it's all coming back to Y.O.U. now, huh? Yeah, sometimes we've gotta jump start the nostalgia around here ... lol. Good shit.
