Monday Night Jamz: Nneka

I first heard of Nneka when I found out she was touring with Damien Marley and Nas on their Distant Relatives tour to raise money to build African Schools. I love her sound and the vibe shes got goin on.

Check her out here.

Today, I was reading the Athens Banner Herald, and I saw some "Letters to Santa". It cracked me up. Here are some of my favorites:

Dear Santa,
My name is Brieanna. I am seven years old. I have been a very good girl this year we go to church and we do a christmas play. We dress up and we sing sing and we have fun. When we finished we go to this little house where everyone makes food and play games. When we are finished the preachers will call out a kids name or a grown ups name to come get something like kids get games a grown up gets like lotion. Then we are done with that stuff. We go home but it last un till night. I hope you bring me good stuff like new clothes and a I Pod touch.

Love,
Brieanna

Dear Santa,

A Poster for My Dad

A Christmas present for the crazy Beatles fan in your life (every family's got at least one, right?).

A Max Dalton print of "Ten Great Years".

I love the Yoko at the bottom.

Chain Garters

I have to be honest. I hate garters. I think they're kind of tacky and ugly, and the whole "deflowering" idea it represents kind of creeps me out. I mean, obviously your family and friends know that you're gonna have sex on your wedding night, but you don't need to flaunt it in front of everyone, right?

These chain garters, however, are so bad ass that you should wear one just for fun and a little surprise for the two of you later on.

You can get em from the crafty sisters at Litter SF.

Real Gangsta Wedding: Oracle Fox

HOLY SMOKES! When I saw Mrs. Oracle Fox's wedding, I had to post it immediately. Mr. and Mrs. Oracle Foc got married in Bali in the fall. She has amazing style (as evidenced by her blog, obv).
I just can't get over that dress. It looks like mermaids crafted it from shells at the bottom of the sea.

Non Boring Wedding China

According to The Knot, you should register for two China sets, one formal and one traditional. According to Gangsta Bride, they should not be lame.

Behold:
Rob Ryan's 4 season plates. You can buy them here.

The Royal 3D Wedding

3D has officially gotten out of hand. First it was movies, and it was only a matter of time before it hit weddings too. According to the Daily Mail, Prince William and Kate Middleton are thinking about broadcasting their wedding in 3D.

Now, I could go on a rampage about how it really seems like a shameless gimic in attempt to make the royal family seem more "relevant" and "hip" to try and sell more plates with their faces on it or whatever, but instead, I'm gonna turn this into a more positive post.

I mean I completely see the appeal. Its magical! Like Harry Potter!

I think it would be fun to have some wedding pictures done in 3D.
