MADEA Is The "Real" Black Swan!!! *LoL*

For some of you who don't know, I just love me some MADEA. This big old woman is talked about negatively by many "oustide" people who really don't get the concept (those that call Tyler Perry a cross-dresser) of this creative comedy. 

Sidebar: I don't get how Tyler Perry is called a CROSS-DRESSER, but you would laugh and say nothing about Martin Lawrence as "Big Momma" in BIG MOMMA's HOUSE or Jamie Foxx as "Wacky Wanda" in IN LIVING COLOR (back in the day). *SMH--shuuuut up--it's COMEDY!!*

But anyway, Tyler Perry, producer of many plays starring Madea, a 6'6, 350 lb. matriarch who keeps her family in check by slapping them and burning them with cigarettes, as well as giving LIFE lessons, had produced another movie called "Madea's Big Happy Family," due April 22, 2011. Note the similarity in the promo poster??? CLASSIC!!!

"Madea is the real Black Swan." HA!! I believe that. Haven't seen a MADEA movie yet? Try one. Get ready to be tickled silly. I know I will be on April 22 when that movie comes out. You'll find me at my favorite movie theatre, PALLADIUM 12 in Birmingham, Michigan.

MARY J. BLIGE Performs In Bad-Girl "BALMAIN" Jacket

Now, we know that Mary J. Blige goes all out in what she does when she performs. By looking at this picture, she sure does. Check out Mary J. Blige in this hott, hott, hott BALMAIN Damaged Jeans Biker Jacket for $3,955. BALMAIN is real popular and sought-after for that whole "accentuated shoulders" thing, astronomical price, and extreme exclusivity (well now that it's more popular, BALMAIN just gotta make more).

Look at the attention to detail and note that there are no "faux" materials to make up the jacket. That's REAL SILVER and GOLD you're looking at.

She was also wearing a Hermes belt for $585. She got on the 5-STAR brands... MAAANNN...

Misha wore Prada...

It's only once a fashion week, whether it be Ready to Wear, Couture or Menswear, is over that we get the chance to take a look back and celebrate the major breakouts of the Season. Following what was a hugely successful opening show Season for many of our Elite boys we couldn’t move on without saying a major congratulations to Misha Patel...an Elite London guy through and through, Misha snapped up the holy grail of show bookings as an exclusive for Prada in Milan. We couldn’t be more proud, of our boys and our board as a whole...bring on the rest of 2011!

Land of the Stupid, Home of the Brave

We're going guy crazy here at Elite, with many of our boys travelling to the fashion capitals for the menswear fashion weeks and now two of our favourites, Vincent Banic  and Texas Olsen have travelled to Diesel Island for the SS11 campaign 'Land of the Stupid, Home of the Brave'.  Diesel Island is "a tropical utopia where the principles of the Be Stupid manifesto can thrive and flourish" so we hope the boys had as much fun being there as we are having looking at them.
