First off, we have to thank My Modern Metropolis for inspiring us to look into bigcartel.com for our new online store! We were inspired by Alice's blog post on BYROGLYPHICS. We were completely blown away and decided to get off our butts and finally do something about our remaining inventory of first edition Barkada(ko) shirts. So far, we're LOVING… Continue

I've always thought Ciara is sexy. But when Missy Elliot said it, it was awkward. It's better when Justin Timberlake says it. And boy did he say it in their collabo "Love Sex Magic."
As Rihanna sits on the sideline, waiting for the bruises on her face (and her heart) to heal (steak with a Laker always helps). Ciara boldly stepped up to fill the void left by her absentee…
