HOE HOE HOE...

Ashley's Xmas List!

I haven’t made a Christmas List for YEARS, but this year I decided to in fear that Coco will give me a 2 gallon bottle of Bacardi Gold. (love you girl). So here it is..my list for ’06.

1. A life-changing gift to a family in an impoverished country.
This is the season to GIVE…especially in the times we live in today. There is an organization called World Vision Gifts that lets you choose the gift (education, Aids care, shelter, seeds for crops…almost anything!) you would like to donate money for in the person’s honor. The Org. then sends the item you paid for to the country in most need. For my man’s birthday, I donated money for a bed for a child in South America in his name and honor. Trust me, this type of gift is the best feeling in the world to give…and it truly makes a difference….can we stop with the dunks, printed hoodies and grills for a minute?…this MATTERS.

Okay, now I have a little list of things for myself=)

2. Knock-offs galore…
Gucci, Chanel, etc. These can fool practically anyone and they’re mad cheap. Ebay, downtown L.A….they’re pretty easy to find.











3. Hello Kitty:
Charms, bracelets, wallets, picture frames, t-shirts, I love it all.






4. Perfume:
Anything that smells AMAZING.






5. And lastly, my favorite: Clothes or Kicks.
Vintage and H&M are a few favorites. Gift certificates are always nice=).

TOP 5 DESBOOBS STYLE.

MY TOP MOTHERFUCKING FIVE YALL.

well looky what we have here, a fav list of bb$ east coast style.
I have top 5's every week but never an outlet to showcase em. Get ready general public cause this is desboobs spotlight (and yes I just referred myself in 3rd person, dont hate.).

1.CAPS N JONES

This DJ duo originally from philly is killing it with their flavor bringing Hall and Oates into a mix that you didnt think was even possible. All you east coast cats get ready cause their doing it big with alot of shows coming up within the next two weeks. Check em out, be amazed, and thank me later.
Capsnjones.com

2.KARAOKE BARS

I dont understand the dynamic of this but stick 5-8 people in one room, give them a mic, a pitcher of alcohol (preferably green tea and whiskey), a long song list of sappy favorites, and voila you got yourself a winning combination. Watch out for mic hogs. Bars all around town are starting to come up on this.

3.VINTAGE RINGS
Forget all that flashy shit showcasing your name or just some over the top bling on your delicate hands ladies, the new gaudy goes back to your mommas days. Small intricate diamonds, rubies, even emeralds.. the ladylike classic details are taking over to go along with your a la natural nails.

4.GRANDMA STYLE

Take it from me, Grandma style is hitting the streets. A step farther from Hollywoods retarded bohemian phase, Grandma style brings it back retro with large checkered multicolored dress shirts to fitted 50s style brocade dresses. Hell even throw in some vintage pins, high pleated skirts with pockets and you got yourself in. Keep it all around classy my babies.

5.MIGHTY BOOSH

Youtube it, watch it, love it. Someone buy this for me for xmas and I will owe you my life.. not really but somebody please.
Oh sidenote; youtube old gregg from mighty boosh. Time for the world to see the phenemenom that is OLDGREGG. I LOVE BAILEYS.


thats all folks, till next time.
Boobs signing out.

Maria's Faaaaantastic Fav flav's...

Bonjour Mon Ami's. Here's a top 5 rundown of things that are currently tickling me...Does this remind anyone else of 'High Fidelity?'






1. Rocking the same shit every day.



I dont Know about y'all, but I like to give my gear a run. I'm talking about one shirt, two weeks, and maybe another weekend for good measure. If you've seen me in the last two months you may have taken notice of my bitchin' Metallica shirt. Then the next time you saw me...No, that wasn't an unfortunate coincidence or a mischance, thats just marination. I like what I like and I dont have energy for all the time and effort that goes into new outfit innovation. The way I sees it is, If it aint broke, dont fix it. Yeah sure, grunge may be dead...but this isnt grunge as a fashion statement...this is grunge as in terminal laziness and perpetual ennui. Props to the girls who stay fresh, always coming up with new ways to look cute. How I look cute is running the same shirt, different drawers. This look ain't for everyone, mainly just heshers and the homeless, I fall nicely between the two catagories. Good luck!




2. Aquatic Mysteries from the deep.



If you ask anyone that knows me they'll tell you I'm a bit irrational and totally consumed with whimsical bullshit. Which is why I'm so obsessed with the great unknown of the sea. Atlantis, The Bermuda triangle, sunken treasure, haunted shipwrecks, pirates, THE LOCH NESS MONSTER fondly referred to as "Nessie" The Titanic (not a mystery but still creepy and ocean related) The monster of Lake Champlain, Sirens, Davy Jones' Locker, mutiny at sea..etc. I'm petrified by what may or may not be lurking about in the water. For my logical mind there is just simply too much unknown, too much uncharted expanse. I mean, shit man, ANYTHING could be down there. It's like pandoras box, and I for one ain't tippin the scales. Honestly, I vote to keep Nessie a terrifying and provocative enigma...lets not ruin (or disprove) the surprise. What else will I spend my time theorizing and obsessing over? I plan on spending my hypothetical honeymoon in...you guessed it, Scotland. I'm gonna buy a buttload of "I swam with Nessie" and "I heart Lake Ness" tourist crap and I'm gonna have a gay old time. I'll post pics.


3. Jacki O.






Hot Damn! This lil' mama is kinda killin it right now. This is the self proclaimed "Queen of the south" and also sworn enemy of "my neck/my back" rapstress Khia. Now, I'm mildly fascinated by Khia's weird dykey mannerisms and really bad flea market tattoo's, but I gotta give this one to Jacki O. They're both basically fighting for the title of 'Queen of Miami.' Thing is, Jacki's got a lil somethin on Khia...they're called TITTIES! (also talent) But WOWOWOW check out the knockers on J.O.! She's got what I like to call "stripper chic" down to a science. I highly reccomend you google her name for images or look her up on Myface. The bitch is stacked, from the front and from the back. Plus she rocks the Ghetto gul gear without even a hint of irony. I'm talking clear heels, fake Dior and maaaaaaad stretch denim. With that bod, those naxxxxxxxsty ass lyrics, and all that weave...baby is a shoe in for my favorite thing smokin. She's basically my idol. PLUS word on the street is that she gave FOXY BROWN an ass whooping in the studio!! She beat a bitch in the studio y'all!!! She is not even playin. And neither am I. She scares me! Check out the X rated vid for her new single with the Ying Yang twinz.

ALSO** download one of my alltime favorite girl anthem, pussy power tracks "Nookie."

Thank me later.



4. Christian Louboutin



Let me tell you somethin.' I dont care about Labels. And not for the simple "I cant afford that shit!" reasons that knock off purchasing hoodrats employ. I just really dont care. Seasons come and go, must have items are replaced and then recycled and then replaced again, and I may never even take notice. I like to think of myself as pleasantly clueless. I like my fashion old and dusty, and worn by someones late grammy. I cant and dont see any reason to pay an obscene ammount of money for something that any old common person can have. I dont save up all my pennies and then blow them on one nice but tragically trendy "it" bag. Blow me. Thats fake bourgeois and completely laughable. I would never spend $5,000 on Gucci, Prada, Bottega, Balenciaga, YSL anything!! But I WOULD take that same ammount and spend it on an amazing piece of vintage. That being said...There is only one label making the thing that I salivate for. The thing that sends my heart a flutter. Mr. Christian Louboutin. His shoes are so jaw droppingly hot and so painfully high that when I look at them all I can think about is SEX. His shoes are straight sex. The boots are flawless, the stillettos perfectly shaped and the peep toe pumps are reminiscent of a sculpture, a delicious torture device. Any well heeled woman knows: the higher the heel...the longer the leg, and the longer the leg, the better the strut. I once read an interview with Mr. Louboutin where he explained the signature red sole that all his heels display, he said "I think of the red sole as saying "Follow me young man." How sexy is that?! I dont know about you but I'm sold. (pun intended)


5. Sauna and Steaming.




This is a beauty Public Service Announcement ladies. You need to up your beauty repetoire. As a girl who will try anything twice...let me tell you, this really works. Try going to a spa or a nicer hotel (my favorite is the spa at The Standard) and either sign up for a day pass or just sneak in. It shouldn't be that much, and even if it is...your sweet little face and cutesy pie figure is worth it, isn't it?. Steaming and taking a sauna for at least thirty minutes each once or twice a week will make you shed toxins in your body, lose extra water weight and makes your skin smooth and well hydrated. Take a girlfriend and a headband and you're set for a day of relaxation and total well being. After I get out of the spa I feel glowy and peaceful, not to mention my skin looks fabulous and the day after I don't have lunge and tug myself into my favorite Topshop jeans, they glide on smooth as butter. If you're not drinking enough water your body freaks out and tries to retain it, making you look bloated and blah. When you shed this water naturally through sweating, and then replenish with 6-8 glasses more, your body is much happier and healthier and in turn, you look great. So bring a large bottle of cool water (you'll need it in
the sauna!) And just sit back and watch yourself turn into a dewy and blissful babe. Trust me girls, you'll love it. And remember...DRINK YOUR WATER!!! It truly is a beauty wonder.




over and out lovelies.

COCO COCO COCO COCO's

FAV FLAV's.





One of the best cosmetic brands out there -- MAC -- always comes thru with holiday style packaging for it's limited holiday line tints and colors. By far my favorite, MAC blush is always a great make-up item to carry on you at all times because it's pigment and color come out thick and stay on for hours -- which help you conceal your snow-white pale party animal white ass skin in the morning, to give you glowing pink cheeks.



I'm from LA...regardless of Shaq, I still rep. the Lakers. Why is this my current fav? When baskbetball season starts, it's nostalgic. A long day at work in the cold LA winters (you got that right -- it's colder than the east coast out here right now at night especially) you got your trusty cali dank, hot coco, and lakers on tv to calm my LA TRAFFIC nerves. This Saturday, Lakers vs. Clippers. Will be a good one.



Coats. Big coats, small coats, black coats, white coats, vintage coats, new coats. I LOVE COATS.



The best stress-relief and work-out ever. Clears my mind, and works my legs out. You really should invest in one. It will change your life.

1. Please donate to any charity organization. My favorite organization is UNICEF they give children new homes and food. ... So Ashley didn't know what to get her man for his birthday, so in his NAME she donated a small bed mattress and bed frame for a child in Africa, he will be receiving a certificate of THANKS.. So, if you guys don't know what to get for your friends or a loved one this Christmas, this would be a perfect gift. :) Give a child in need a chance to live ....
UNICEF DONATE

2.

My fav film for the week, I had the chance to rent "An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore. Amazing movie about the global effects of Global Warming. Serious effects are occurring right now for example " The Hurricane in New Orleans ", in about 50 years from now our children will not be able to have any natural resources such as water, gas, and fresh air. It IS NOT a theory, these are actual facts. If we all don't act now, our generation can suffer serious consequences. PLEASE GO SEE THIS FILM. F.Y.I. You can rent this film @ any Blockbuster.


3.

FAV FLAV'S OF THE WEEK.


Stay Golden: I need them!


Hannah Metz: Is truely the defintion of "aesthetically pleasing". It's almost as if this girl has lurked deep within my brain and took all of my fondest childhood memories and turned them into colorful displays of artwork. Each photograph or drawing seems as if it has an almost familiar scent or taste. I love her. www.pouty-mouth.com




Frozen custard.



Natural beauty: I love this look! Oh how I envy those women that wake up in the morning and wear nothing on their faces,with the exception of maybe chapstick. Definately a good look,if you have really small pores. If not, you can always play it off with a bit of mascara and some concealer.




Artsy Parents: There is nothing cooler than "cool" parents, and when I say "cool" I don't mean the shitty ones that buy you cheap beer and bug you and your friends for weed in 7th grade. I mean the cute couples you see at art shows or music festivals holding hands with their adorable little toddler that has on some sort of cute mini version of their outfit and mohawk.

FAV FLAV's

It always seems like after Thanksgiving the mood changes. Time for a new wardrobe, gift-giving, cuddling and being jolly and shit=) Here are a few things I thought fit into my favorite things this week for the new Winter season. Peep them...

Romance. Being a heartbreaker and around-the-way-girl is always fun, but having a man around this time always makes a girl feel good. Sushi dinners, 2 a.m. phone calls, browsing the pet shop, holding my waist because my heels are killing me…ughh it’s all so corny, but definitely a favorite of the week=)

Jay-Z “Kingdom Come”. I’ll admit, a lot of my music selection is like listening to 99.1 KGGI in ’92. I can’t help myself…reminds me of when I was a littleg girl rollerskating in my garage to these jams. But this week I’m digging this new album. Definately a soon-to-be classic.

Steve Madden leopard print booties (yes, they’re called booties). THESE ARE HOT. I spotted them the other day and am determined to scoop them up before all the imposter look-a-likes show up in the malls.

Noshi Sushi on Beverly Blvd. Sushi is like the perfect food. It’s cheap, tastes amazing and doesn’t make you feel like a heffer after you’re done with the meal. This is a MUST TRY spot…I can taste the spicy tuna roll now.
4430 Beverly Blvd
