As it seems, doing anything around Anna Wintour is intimidating - even riding in the elevator with her. According to a friend of mine who works in the same building as her, even saying "hello" to her seems scary and forbidden. Nevertheless, filmmaker R.J. Cutler managed to get inside the merciless walls of Vogue to film a documentary on the making of Vogue's September issue, which, in Vogue, is the most important issue of the year. The film hits theaters August 28 in New York and September 11 in Los Angeles and select cities. I doubt any of those select cities are anywhere here in good 'ol Indiana, but a young fashionisto can dream can't he? I wish I could fly to New York to see this, but I'll guess I'll have to work my connections for a DVD.

Drake - "Best I Ever Had" Video
This past week was kind of rough for me. I've made some mistakes at work - sure, they're probably typical first-job-ever-internship mistakes - but, it just hasn't been fun. So, I was feeling down in the dumps and really not wanting to talk to anyone, smile, laugh, none of that. But then, a couple mornings ago, I hopped out of bed, walked down stairs for breakfast and turned the TV to MTV. The first video I watched was Drake's "Best I Ever Had" from his mixtape So Far Gone. I have the CD and it's, well, one of the best I've ever had. I knew the video would be dope because it was directed by Kanye West.
Anyway, I watched the video and it made me laugh, for real. I'm talkin' deep belly laughs. Just the girls, the mentality of the video and the slapstick comedy was enough to get me going. So thank you Drake and Kanye for brightening my day.

Oregon Ducks Will Sport New Uniforms (Again) in 2009
I've actually always loved Oregon's jerseys ever since 2000 when they were decked out in nearly all black. I loved what they wore over the last few years as well. I think these jerseys are less attractive than the 2006-2008 versions but I can digg it. Word is these uniforms are more durable with a design that is 28% lighter than their diamond-plated predecessors. I have to give kudos to the Ducks and Nike for being creative. Now, only if other teams would catch on.
Jay-Z - "D.O.A. (Death of Autotune)" Live BET Awards Performance
Other than the final tribute to Michael Jackson sang by Jamie Foxx and Ne-yo, this was definitely a treat and the best performance of the night. If I'm not mistaken I think the song was produced by Kanye West, and it's a definite hit. I can't wait for the Blueprint 3 to hit stores on September 11. I'm gonna be all over it.
