M.I.S.S. Crew just signed up for a Twitter account so we can keep you up to date with all the happenings at the M.I.S.S. Crew H.Q.! You can follow M.I.S.S. here!

You may remember a while back M.I.S.S. Crew hosted our 2nd Birthday Party / Official “Married To The Hustle” mixtape release with EyeASage at Milk Bar in San Francisco. We just got a video clip that was filmed the night of our party - very exciting!! Take a look for an inside view of what the party was like and to hear M.I.S.S. EyeASage perform “Stewie.”

I had some time to myself today (for once) and had a chance to catch up on my thoughts. I found myself getting some relief and relaxation from watching videos on YouTube. Lame, I know. The funny thing was that watching old videos made me feel reconnected and rejuvenated…perhaps it was even therapeutic. So, my point is that I ended my videofest with this:

I don’t care what you all think…but if I was that Queen in the video, I would have reacted the same way. MJ was looking oh-so fly with his pressed hair and gold jacket! Now-a-days, I wouldn’t feel the same way, but as a kid, I remember being infatuated with this video. It brought back good memories…hopefully it brings some good memories to you too. 

Do you remember the time? 

If you were reading M.I.S.S. back in March, then you’re familiar with our “Women Making History” feature where we interview talented ladies who are paving paths and doing great things. We know that women make history throughout the year so we decided to make this an ongoing feature to highlight ladies that work hard behind the scenes. Don’t worry, we’ll have a different project for you next March to honor Women’s History Month.

This week, we are featuring Mel from Borougbred, a ladies’ streetwear line.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mel a few years back at the MAGIC tradeshow. I loved her line from the moment I heard the name, BoroughBred, and she makes some of the best ladies’ graphic tees around. A true NYer at heart, her love of being “borough bred” shines through in all of her work. Take a look and learn . . .

Check out pics of her tees and beautiful son after the jump . . .

 I am a huge fan of earrings. My motto is “the bigger the better”. And my most favorite is long and dangling or huge and hoop like. Well Fleathers by Linda Smyth gives me all that I need and in leather. Leather “feathers” that dangle and huge leather hoops, heart shaped too…I think I’m in love! There’s a lot of love coming out of Philly PA and this is some of that love. Peep her here.

Here’s a sneak peak from one of our favs, Nails Did. The word is that it should be available by the end of the month and in two color-ways. Stay posted for more info.

If you’re a gal on a budget like myself, then I’m sure you appreciate it when you can buy luxury items without breaking your bank.  Despite my microscopic budget, I still manage to buy myself something nice whenever I excel in school or just to cheer myself up every now and then…

My point: Apple is having a promotional discount for all of us broke students (new or old), teachers, and staff.

How great is this deal? A new laptop, printer, iPod, TV, software or more…you decide! I got my first MacBook, iPod, and printer with this discount…It was a great investment.

Sounds good to me!! What a fun way to spend Mother’s Day! Hanging with Mom on a Sunday afternoon at a craft fair? I’m down BUT geographically challenged so if you and Mom are on the East side you should make it out to “Momz Rock!” organized by The Younity and being held at the Bronx Museum of Arts, you’ll be able to purchase handmade crafts by the lady Toofly and her mom, Alice and her mom, Vee and her om, Graffiti Momz, Erotica and Lady K Fever. And so what if I just repeated everything that’s on the flyer? I just wanted to make sure your paying attenttion

And what makes you think your Mom or Grandma wouldn’t love some nameplate jewelry as much as you would? Why not? What women doesn’t love some gold (or silver) and something shiny?? You could go with something traditional that say’s “I Love You” or “Mom”, maybe throw in some colored (or real, you baller you!) stones in her birthstone or even in yours! Or why not get her her name or a short and sweet phrase or a nickname she calls you. Maybe you and your siblings go in on it together and get all your names on a necklace or bracelet. The sky is the limit! Make it something sweet, thoughtful and meaningful…hey, maybe mom would appreciate some bamboos, but at least two pair
