Smokin' A

Amber Rose has not gone anywhere, sorry 'Ye. The Ordinary Girl's favourite twitter bug, Fabolous, has a new video out. It's called You Be Killin Em and it stars Amber Rose. In the video Amber plays an assasin who has many disguises - like Alicia Keys in Smokin Aces. ARose is in it so you know that means your back shots will come with liquor shots, right? It's fine, whatever. Do you guys like the video?



Oh, and we know Dude does not mess with Jordan Fusions but what's your take on Amber's sneaker game up top? She's wearing the Air Jordan Force Fusion VIII Playoffs. And yes, I am aware that what she's wearing in general is wack but let's not dwell on that, Amber's sitting pretty right about now. And yes, she is killin' most while at it.

More On The Hip Hop Girlfriend*

Yesterday these photos of Kanye West and Amber Rose, shot by fashion photographer Terry Richardson, hit the internet. And you know theblagg has plenty of love for ARose and 'Ye - even if there are rumours that Robocop might be smashing Kim Kardashians ex, Reggie Bush. So Dude and The Ordinary Girl had to say something. Hey, the 9 to 5s were getting to us. Here it is:

Dude: She was a good match for Kanye. She is his Tahiry.
The Ordinary Girl: Why do you say that?
Dude: I say that because now all the girls after Amber are gonna wanna act like her. They will wanna be in his pictures and wanna get modelling jobs like she did. Just like what Tahiry and Joey had.



The Ordinary Girl: And you think that's wrong? Aren't they entitled to do that if Amber could do it?
Dude: You see we will never know if she intended to do all that but the next girl coming into a relationship might want to come with ulterior motives. And then she'll be nothing but a user. You don't think that?
The Ordinary Girl: You know I love Amber but I don't think she was looking to be Kanye's beard. The fact that she is so different says all that. See the problem with the likes of Somaya is that they have nothing to offer. They aren't Somaya first before So-and-So's-Sidepiece. I think Kanye is in for a tough time because instead of Amber coming out with a "tell-all" book or whatever she actually sang Ye's praises. Acknowledged that she wouldn't be where she is today without him. Where else is he gonna find that?



Dude: Word up yo. He needs to get back to her.
The Ordinary Girl: I wouldn't say that though.. Do you mean he must go back because he might not find another person to make him happy? Not that he is unhappy right now but still... what are your reasons?
Dude: Okay, I admit he doesn't need to go back to her but I like them together.

Let's just hope ARose doesn't pull a Somaya Reece and go on radio talking about her ex's skills...



*still the American edition, of course.

New Work Out Plan

Dude demanded that this post be about the special tie that Ralph Lauren created for Ludacris, and that 100% of the proceeds from sales will go to the rapper's charity. But as you can see The Ordinary Girl can be something of a rebel. And since I already mentioned the tie can we talk about something else? Plus Dude has been toying around with the idea of gym... well actually, T.O.G has been teasing him about paying the gym, any gym a visit. But let's move on.

We came across this Amber Rose interview with Elle.com where the model/video girl/chick-you-love-to-hate discussed beauty tips and other girly things. Aside from street vendor bargains, ARose keeps it simple and doesn't kill herself to look beautiful. She just is. That's what happens when you're naturally gifted. And of Cape Verdian descent.



However, that body does not make itself that gorgeous so this is what she had to say about keeping fit:
Elle: Naturally flawless, sun-resistant skin? Let me guess, you never have to hit the gym, either?
Amber Rose: Oh no, I definitely work out. I love to eat and I don’t believe in denying myself, so I have to work out. I’m not obsessed with it, I don’t have a trainer or do any of the fancy classes, but I usually put on my iPod and run on the treadmill for an hour a few days a week. I’d much rather be the girl who worked out more so she could eat more; I could never not eat.



theblagg's kind of girl! Don't you just love how cute she looks in sweats AND glasses? See? Bofour eyes ba rocka maan. Now, who has a Virgin Active subscription we can borrow for a month?

Cool Couple's Kicks

So you already know that theblagg is big on Kanye and Amber (and that leather jacket is boss too). Now dig into their matching Jordan's. Couple's who match their clothes/kicks/whatever are so 90s. But this gets a pass from us.

Amber Wearing Rose-Tinted Glasses?

Here at theblagg, we think Amber Rose is beauty personified. And while we get that hers and Mr West’s relationship is one of give-and-take (whose isn’t?) and naturally has mutual benefits, their collaboration on the October Elle magazine spread leaves theblagg at a loss for words. Well, not really – you know us – but still.

Art is art. It is subjective. And the fad is another beast that, in todays entertainment world, is too easily passed off as high fashion. In this Elle feature the art and er, fashion (go with us on this one) tied the knot and a blonde-ceasar-bombshell-baby makes three. But see, like this shoot, where Kanye played stylist and Amber the model, this sham of a marriage binded by a spine is suspect. Shame.

Why, oh why would you “style” your girlfriend as though she was a lady of the night? Sure the haute Miss Rose does like to shock the conservatives with her dress sense. And yes, Kanye pretty much scooped her up from the curb and made her Miss Hot Right Now in record time. But methinks the interrupter forgets that his Robocop is a real person.

Now it’s no secret that when it comes to fashion and fads, the different strokes for different folks law rules. And everyone is allowed to embrace their freakdom but unless you’re the type that gets a kick out of other men drooling over your girls goodies it’s hard to understand why Kanye made sure Amber’s cakes were out for all to see.

Even ego-driven men who love to know that what they possess (ie. their woman – again, go with us on this one) is desired by other dudes don’t give more than a peep show. Kanye pretty much wrote down the order and hand delivered the cakes on a silver platter to not one but every man (and woman) who has ever envied the couple.

Does it really matter then, that our favourite blonde beauty has scored a contract with Ford Models, become the face of a fragrance and managed to fly the Regular Girl flag high in an industry that will crucify you if you’re a black blonde whose initials aren’t BK? If this is the price she had to pay to get it?

The world doesn’t know the T&Cs that come with a relationship that has the bearing of T&As as a prerequisite. And theblagg still thinks Amber Rose is naturally gorgeous we wouldn’t be mad if Amber got herself a man who wasn’t trying to be her svengali. Your thoughts?
