[FASHION] Alexander McQueen: March 17, 1969 - February 11, 2010

Extraordinary talent and creative genius, Alexander McQueen, has died at the age of 40.


The British designer was found dead at his home on Thursday morning and early reports suggest the death is being treated by police as non-suspicious. In a statement released by the Alexander McQueen label, Lee Alexander McQueen's (designer's full name) family has spoken out about the unexpected and tragic news (via Daily Mail):

"At this stage it is inappropriate to comment on this tragic news beyond saying that we are devastated and are sharing a sense of shock and grief with Lee's family.
Lee's family has asked for privacy in order to come to terms with this terrible news and we hope the media will respect this."

The fashion world today, has lost an iconic and innovative artist. R.I.P.

[GOODIES] He Says He Feels Bad....

He says he feels bad ya'll....I'm not buying it! It just seems like he's giving a fake me out Chris Brown apology! Sorry John C. Mayer it's sort of hard to believe that you geniunely feel bad about the situation. If you honestly did believe any of the rubbish you were spitting, you wouldn't have said it!

John C. Mayer is definitely not sorry about what he said. He's realizing the negative reactions that EVERYONE not only African Americans/Canadians are having. He's sorry that we're all taking it badly - Not so much of what he said. He obviously believes it! SMH!

[GOODIES & MUSIC] Rihanna's RUDE BOY Video & 2BD Feature!

Rihanna's *NEW* Rude Boy video is FINALLY OUT! For those who chronically Follow The L...u know I've been obsessed with this song for some time now.

The video is extremely colourful to say the least. It seemed like she had fun with it. It kind of reminds me of Beyonce's Video Phone video *shrugs* just my observation.

None the less, it's a HOT song and the video definitely has me anticipating the summer! You can all definitely fiind me in shorts in every city I'm in!

For those who have checked out my ladies over at 2 Bitchez Deep....anything look familiar in this picture and video?

Yuuuupppp *in Trey Songz voice* Rihanna is wearing a 2 Bitchez Deep piece. She has on their Metal Bow 4 Finger Glove! These women have done such an amazing job and its evident they've hard work is paying off! Congrats LADIES!!

I'm predicting a GREAT long lasting relationship between 2 Bitchez Deep items and Rihanna!

None the less...check out the video below. I love it...Hmmm who knows... I may just have to put that song back on on here on auto-play!

[NEWS] John Mayer's Take On Black Women!

Sorry to break my ethinic womens hearts but apparently John Mayer feels that he has a racist dick. Yeaa...I said it!

In an interview with Playboy (I don't read it, someone brought it to my attention) is an extremely interesting and in depth sneak peak of how John really feels about Black Women. When asked if black women throw themselves at him, he responds saying:

"I don’t think I open myself to it. My dick is sort of like a white supremacist. I’ve got a Benetton heart and a fuckin’ David Duke cock."

Shocked, appauled, speechless, angry, disappointed, hurt are just a few ways I was feeling when reading this. He's in of Brittney Spears' publicist, like RIGHT NOW! This is one mess that his non-discretion ass cannot get himself out of alone.

He quickly recovers by saying he wants to begin to dating seperately from his dick and listed a few African American women he would get down with:

"Every white dude loved Hilary from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. And Kerry Washington. She’s superhot, and she’s also white-girl crazy. Kerry Washington would break your heart like a white girl."

Yea real nice save buddy...SMH...this is just terrible! I'm not too sure about you, but this guy is officially done and over with. Enjoy reading the end of the last John Mayer post on Follow The L!

In between promoting his film directorial debut, A Single Man, and running his eponymously named fashion house, Tom Ford is back at it with the release of his Spring 2010 Eyewear collection.

Staying in tune with the 1960's theme in Ford's recent film, Hoult and Murphy flawlessly play it retro for the camera (see more pics below).
