I caught dope chicks pickin fros at writer’s paradise this weekend for Lil Lisa’s 30th (screenwriter extraordinaire). Celebrations took place at the Flatotel with made from scratch cupcakes by Yum Yum top Chef Vanessa Cantave (insert 5 exclamation points here). We also stumbled upon dope author/writer/mega woman of the moment Mitzi Miller (Honey, Jane, The Vow, BET/VH1 special guest). Mitzi’s African American teen book series will be published in May- and I’m at the edge of my seat. Keep up with Mitzi at her blogspot.

Shout out to all of the dope ladies we ran into that night holdin NY down with fyah.

Another thrusday night adventure in L.A. led us to Melt Gallery on Sunset
for the the book release of Shawn Mortensen’s “Out of my mind”. We here at Frolab & many others have been admiring this mans photos for years. But never knew who he was and now i do . And you can too.


> “I look nothing like the guy” you be the judge!

Classic photos of fallen heros of hip hop. That Ego trip cover shot of Biggie is the best photo to reference his mark on this earth. Sad to say the same bout Pac , but knowing is half the battle…

We got to meet and chill with him while he was taking shots of upcoming duo Ty & Kory for ID magazine. Keep an eye out for that article in a few months.
