This upcoming Monday, August 25th I’ll be heading to Las Vegas for the infamous Magic Convention!!!!! I will be going there to work with a clothing line from Atlanta by the name Convertible Bertt!!I am really excited and will be posting pictures up every other hour from the showing and the parties!!
More about Convertible Bertt..
Turning nothing into something, believing all things are possible, and connecting to the inner determination to turn the dreams that pave the streets into reality, The Legendary Convertible Bertt is more than a culture. It’s a new society and way of life. Founded in 2004 by Darryl Mapp and Jamar Bacon, the line’s scope has successfully guided them into being a recognizable force in the fashion arena. Having productively lead the vision and design force behind the successful Young Jeezy’s 8732 Apparel, before their departure from the Roc Apparel Group in early 2008, Bacon and Mapp are more than prepared to take the Legendary Convertible Bertt to new heights.
Set to debut the Spring/Summer collection of The Legendary Convertible Bertt line August 24 – 27 in Las Vegas during the Magic Convention, a growing level of anticipation is already brewing. While the line has been heavily pursued by a number of interested vendors, the owners have chosen to uphold a level of exclusivity in the first year through selling strictly to specialty retailers. As an established brand based in Atlanta, GA, The Legendary Convertible Bertt fully embraces the muscle car culture Deemed “Motor Style,” Convertible Bertt encompasses more than the southern states and instead transcends nationally and covers all races, genders and ages.

ILUVLOLA PRESENTS
DJ Big Mike & Remo Da Rapstar’s
“Ghetto Hero”
Click HERE for free download
“Ghetto Hero” is a reflection of the streets from Remo’s perspective; things he sees happen around him and things he has had to endure and go through. “From top to bottom the whole project is my alter ego – Tripple Beam Reem – my reflection of the hood,” says Remo who believes that personal experiences are appreciated most by his fans. With “Ghetto Hero” Remo hopes to bring his listeners a step closer to reality. The album boasts 10 tracks of originality painting a picture perfect image of the reality in the streets. From reminiscing about growing up hard in records like “Back home”, to talking about the frustration of having to make a dollar out of 15 cents, having false hope, being addicted to fame and money in tracks like “My world”, “Something’s Gotta Give” and “Pipe Dreams”, Remo doesn’t hold back on anything.

Why I do this…
Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
I got an e-mail today from someone who read my 416Industry article and I felt all warm and fuzzy inside. It reminded me why I do this…
“Hey Lola,
I am sitting here trying to figure out how to express how much I needed to read an inspirational article such as this one, but I keep finding myself going on, and on, and on. So I am just going to stick with this : THANK YOU for reminding our generation what it means to truly work for something you want / believe in. “
Much Respect,
C
This means more than anything else to me. Thank you for w a l k i n g my path with me supporting me with your kind words!

Product highlight: O.B
Uncategorized | 2 Comments
About 2 weeks ago I became one of the 75 women across Canada to be selected by Matchstick to test the new O.B mighty.small (TM/MC) tampons and give them out to friends, family and of course my faithful readers. I got a goodie bag in the mail and started giving out my samples to all the lady females I see on a regular basis…
mmmm how they appreciated it.
Now I can finally share them with the rest of my lady friends, and readers.
So this is for you ladies. Here’s the link to get your very own OB samples.
www.mightysmall.com/mightysample
Remember, the tiny o.b. tampon has 58% less waste than any applicator brand, with all the protection you need. If every woman in Canada used o.b. that would mean 6.1 million pounds less waste generated each year. Make the green choice.

I was informed that the peeps at DIESEL MUSIC (one of the branches of DIESEL clothing) have this really cool contest going on. Basically they are throwing 18 massive parties in 18 cities around the world on October 11th. For the parties in London, New York, and Tokyo, they have slots open for artists to play alongside the hottest line-ups and as they say on the website “in front of a whole slum of people.” They basically fly you over there, and then slot you into the gig line-up.
To be considered for a place at these parties is very simple: you have to follow these 3 easy-peasy steps:
1) signup to Diesel:U:Music
2) pray
3) play
They will also have a video camera following your stage entrace.
Cool huh?

I was watching an episode of Eddie Murphy’s “Raw”the other night. He’s hilarious….but a lot of the times right though. I find that a lot of comedians joke about things that no one else wants to really accept or touch on in a serious light.
Murphy asked the audience:
“Let me hear the men clap, that are loyal to their women.”
- people were clapping in the room”
“Stop…you lying motherfuckers stop. Stop stop stop. Kiss my ass. There ain’t no such thing as a loyal man you lying motherfucker, stop it. And the only reason you’re clapping right now is cuz your woman is sitting next to you saying
- “You gon’ put your hands together? You better stomp your feet and light a match for this pussy goddamit. Stand up and clap, stand your ass up and clap. “
“Fuck outta here. There is no such thing as loyal men. Ladies don’t be fooled. I know some men have reps and will have you beleive it but no man is loyal. All men have sex with other women. We are low by nature and have to do it. We are men. All men do it. It’s a man thing. Men will find and conquer as much pussy as they can get… do not think for one second that he is your man and you’re the only one he’s fucking. He is a man and has to conqure women. I see a lot of women out there going “Not my man.” Yes your man too. Your man too. If he’s not here with you tonight, he’s fucking somebody, cuz he is a man . It’s not about you. You can have the best pussy in the world. Ihere can be a cape hanging out your pussy with an a big S on it, your man is still going to fuck someone else. It’s a dick thing. Do not try to understand it. You have to have a dick to understand it..we are m e n.”

Mixtape Download: Remo Da Rapstar + DJ Whoo Kid
Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
My brother Remo (no, not a joke…he really is my brother) keeps dropping records more often than guys with actual record deals. I’ve had to write some of his press releases back-to-back-to-back, because all he wants to do is drop like, 5 street albums in 1 month. If you know any other rapper with a stronger work ethic, point him out…where he at?!
So here’s The Rapstar’s latest mixtape with DJ Whoo Kid (see you next weekend!!!) called

I write, consult, organize, plan, plot, entertain and work hard to make that difference I focused on in the first place. ILuvLola is a lifestyle…not just mine, yours too, so give what you can so that you can make that difference with me.

Almost 20 years old. I love music (all types) and everything in that surrounding area from movies to TV to fashion: I love it all. I'm extremely opinionated which is a good thing but can sometimes be a bad thing. I hold no punches and I'm straight to the point, but I swear I'm a lovely person :D

I write, I create & I learn as I go. My ears feel naked without headphones and I'm a blackberry monster til death. I write CD reviews for fun on my phone & I see music videos in my head. X-style slow-mo, video chicks & all. I'm a little neurotic. No, a lot; but I'm your favourite daydreamer's favourite daydreamer.
