EAZEE LIVING - NYC W HOTEL ROOMS by BBG-BBGM

So this isn't exactly Los Angeles but with that new W being built in Hollywood I can hope right?  But then again it's summer and traveling is usually an idea for us all.  Well Aja got me thinking about NY next...and what do i come across as I'm checking out ArchDaily...the new W rooms in NY, designed by BBG-BBGM.  The pics are from three types of rooms, the regular (I assume) the Wow Suites and the E-Wow Suites.   All of them look good, so I need to look into these and see what it takes to stay a few nights and enjoy life.  Anyway peep the pics and get the details over here.

I MAY NEED 2B HERE THURSDAY NIGHT!!!

Many of my friends know how I feel about this particular chick pictured above, especially Aja who sent this wonder invite to me...and NO I did not know that she was going to be in the new PLAYBOY!!!  I need that issue quick fast like...thanks!!!  I LOVE YOU AUBREY!!!

HAPPY BDAY CHRIS FOCUS - BDAY PARTY FLICKS

Today is Chris Focus' actual bday, but as you know he had a large Bday Bash about a week ago. So here are just a small fraction of the pictures circulating from that party aka Capricornication. December 28th in Hollywood at Crimson...it went DOWN. Chris Focus brought out a large gathering of L.A. flair and partied with many of L.A.'s notables on the hip hop scene: Pacific Division, UNI, Diz Gibran, Basik of Bleu Collar, DNEZ and Convinced to name a few. Aja of Oh Soo Vain/the House of Pretty, brought out an abundance of hot ladies she's worked on or with in the fashion industry as well as her hot friends. Other notables in the house were FlipSide Enterprises, Blue Games INC, Weekend Warriors , L.A. Bella, and more. Take a look and see what you missed and just know next time Chris Focus or Aja has a hand in an event, find the right people to get you in the door. Bottles of vodka, beautiful people and an damn good time are expected. DJ Sean G also World Premiered Chris Focus new song "Bop Like This" (prod. by J Skillz) at the party and the crowd was rockin' with it. Chris planned on dropping it today as his bday gift to ya'll but a problem with the engineer has delayed that idea. For now you can peep the track Floss Angeles that Chris Focus is featured on with some other FCC favorites. Meka leaked the unmastered version on Saturday accidentally, but it seems to have been the talk of LA over the weekend. Chris is hoping to give you something new by the end of this week. So for now enjoy this. And since his bday is today, hit up his myspace and show him some love.

Bonus Audio: Floss Angeles - FCC f. Various Artists (Convinced, C San, Dale Danja, El Prez, DNEZ & Chris Focus)

Her work was featured in Prestige magazine and in regards to this blog...not only am I featuring an LA resident gettin' it in on a global scale...but the pics are on that L.A. theme. You gotta love it...you can peep more of Aja's (the House of Pretty) work at www.dripbook.com/ajaeskandar. Some more of her work will be printed in the upcoming Dec/Jan issue of Prestige as well. If u're into fashion or maybe a female pal of yours is...make sure they check www.Ohsoovain.blogspot.com everyday...right after they get off Eazee Street of course.

El Prez f. DNEZ - It Iz What It Iz (Video Shoot photos)

E Dub has more at his spot...but here are a couple photos from the shoot with people I know in them...

Kidz in the Hall f. Estelle - Love Hangover (VIDEO)

Okay so my connect didn't come thru with the video last week as I'd hoped...but I spotted this on MySpace earlier today and I'm just getting around to posting it...obviously Eskay, Shake & Meka have beaten me to it...but oh well. I'm posting it because I told you my girl Aja (ohsoovain.blogspot.com) of The House of Pretty did the make-up for yet another Ethan Lader directed video. If you pay close attention you'll see some of LA's own. Namely El Prez, DNEZ & Polyester the Saint. Pay closer attention and u'll notice my ex girlfriend has a major role in this video (I snatched her from Jimmy Cozier awhile back) and DNEZ & Aja have a couple make out scenes. AJ...u were supposed to be on set doing make-UP, when did make-OUT become one of your job skills, lol. Enjoy people.

UPDATE: the MySpace video went down so i swiped this from OnSmash

BEHIND THE SCENES - Kidz in the Hall f. Estelle

So neither of these artists are L.A. but this is the video that Aja aka OhSooVain.blogspot.com, did the make-up for.  I showed you the exclusive pics from the set, so might as well follow up with some video.  Enjoy.

Kidz in the Hall - EAZEE STREET EXCLUSIVE

So look what I get sent to my inbox c/o of Ms. Aja aka Ms. OhSooVain herself. Here are a couple pics from the Kidz in the Hall video shoot. Kidz in the Hall were out here in L.A. the weekend of Rock the Bells to shoot a video for Love Hangover with Estelle (American Boy). The video was directed by Ethan Lader, who did their last video (Driving Down the Block). Aja was gettin' busy on the make-up and word is her and DNEZ have a scene in this video. Looked like a good time...I was that close to being in it...but some last minute mishap on my end kept me in the house that day.

P.S. When the video is done I'll host it here.

INSA x ROGUE STATUS

Insa is the hot artist known for some of those famous paintings centered around women's breasts...but trust me this artist is awesome all the way around and always has some eye catching imagery to look at or buy. Spotted this over at Aja spot...she's trynna get me to cop her a painting as an early bday gift. We'll see homie, we'll see. This is a good alternative spot to be on a Saturday evening. Holla
