Alicia Keys feat. Drake – "Unthinkable (I’m Ready)" (Remix)


Drake lends his verses on this new remix of Alicia’s already flawless hit single, Un-Thinkable. Both work together harmoniously and bring forth a stellar effort. Heavy-hitter approved, courtesy of DJ Enuff. Enjoy!

DIMEPIECE- "Too Much Too Young" Collection [Spring/Summer 2010]


          "It's common known fact that sex sells, but at what cost? DimePiece's Spring/Summer 2010 collection, Too Much Too Young, ventures into the sensationalized, fast-paced and drug-ridden culture that society stresses to our youth. At some point we stopped expecting young people to be productive, intelligent members of society and began to think of them as gullible, indulgent consumers.
          We scrutinized the view of today's youth with imagery of probable stimulants, tainted self-worth and political commentary. We're taught to know "facts" but critical analysis is lost to effort to simply look like you understand. With this in mind, we tell the story of a girl who sits in the Capital's lawn with beer cans and our symbol of 'freedom' as her cushion. Throughout her journey she finds herself falling through space and time, apptempting to hold on to her breathe... the only thing that she finds real & constant. She awakes to a disillusioned state, in a modernized jungle of drugs and sex. How much do we actually know about ourselves, and our place in America? In this story, details in the images are blurred to symbolize the lied and inaccuracies we're told and what we've failed to question. What is too much? What is too fast?
          With uncensored graphics, provocative cuts and silhouettes, DimePiece adds another season installment to what we see, what we think and who we are." -DimePiece. The Paradime. 2010.

Disney x MAC Cosmetics [September 2010]


(Note: This image does not reflect what is to be featured in the Venomous Villians Collection.)

          You know this day was bound to happen sooner or later... But you'll have to wait until this fall to see which four Disney characters M.A.C. Cosmetics took inspiration from for a limited edition color collection announced in WWD. The collection will be called "Venomous Villains," so what we're all wondering is who will be the fairest one of all? Will we see hints of Cruella DeVille of "101 Dalmations," Ursula of "The Little Mermaid," Malefivent of "Sleeping Beauty," or maybe the evil Queen of "Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs?" We'll just have to wait & see. The collection will consists of lipstick, powder, lip gloss and blush shades, ranging in price from $12 to $29.50, launching globally in late September.
          The brand isn't revealing much about the the line -- except in a mysterious video, here -- but we're hoping for beauties, not beasts.

The Rebirth of DIRTY DIMEZ.?

          Nearly a year ago, DIRTY DIMEZ. posted a blog about the death of beloved pop-king, Michael Jackson; in which seemed to also be the unfortunate death of DIRTY DIMEZ. itself. In this event, e-mails have poured in throughout the year from numerous amounts of fans wondering & questioning as to whether or not DIRTY DIMEZ. was in fact 'gone.'
          I have debated over this matter myself since my last post & have decided that since the love for the site is so strong & already has so many wonderfully loyal fans, that DIRTY DIMEZ. is here to stay!!! So get ready to see what the rebirth of DIRTY DIMEZ. has instore!!!
...& Also bare with us as we build our site momentum back up. :)
