Behind Loads of Fun
Today I woke up like it was Christmas to download Stalley's LNW mixtape only to be sadden to find out that it wasn't going to be released until later in the afternoon. With that being said it was well worth the wait!!! I was trying to hack the firewalls at my job just to find the download anywhere!!! (Rethinking that probably wasn't so smart, but that's how much I've been looking out for this project) Once I got in from my basketball game I ran right to the computer to download this and all I can say is wwwooowwww (Flavor Flav voice)! What's so crazy is that he gave this music away for free! This would've gotten my $15.00 easy! On that note...
"OHIO STAND UP!"
Download Lincoln Way Nights Here
All I can say is download this quick. MMJB comes through and delivers a great mixtape! Tracks are upbeat and dope. This mixtape has something for every type of music lover, no lie! This was definitely a good look by the guys over at 10.Deep!

Oprah starts off her Master Class series with a bang with none other than Jay-Z. The format that Oprah uses for Master Class is pretty dope as she lets the guest tell their story how they want it to be told. Jay-Z doesn't disappoint as the opening guest, so take some time and check it out. Definitely looking forward to following the rest of this series!
If you find yourself like us over here at WNO you always have a million things running through your mind and the only way to keep them organized is to write it down. There have been countless times that a great idea has popped up in my mind and I wasn't able to write it down! Well look no further for the solution with this "Count Fair" 50 States Memo set from Hickoree's Hard Goods. This edition of 3 memo books come along with interesting facts about any of 50 states that you choose!
Ran across this the other day while looking for creative options to redecorate my house. I thought this was a creative spin on the obvious. The "Alfred" serves as more than just a chair but as a staple of eye catching and functional furniture! I love the fact that its simple but can add so much texture to a room.

Ho, Ho Ho! Merry Christmas! It’s Mrs. Clause aka H.O.C. here to give you saints and sinners some Christmas gift ideas for your hoes, sidepieces, girls, wives and/ or any combination there of.
I’m going to give it to you simple, girls aren’t ungrateful, men just don’t use their brains when selecting a gift. Women want something sentimental, something that no one else ever got them, something they can remember you by. The price of the gift does not matter, the thought that went into the gift is what counts. For instance, if your girl is complaining about being stressed from work and everyday life, a gift card to the spa is nice. But an overnight stay for the two of you at a quaint boutique hotel where she can use the spa gift card is even better. Hold up! Let me finish before you start counting your coins and complaining. Sites like groupon.com, jetsetter.com and livingsocial.com often have deals for such hotels. Go to the sites and register as a member to receive daily emails for specials.

A typical yet wonderful gift for women is perfume. What woman doesn’t wear perfume? Even women who are allergic to it like me still wear it…don’t judge me. Add something extra to the perfume bottle by having it engraved. Every Nordstrom store has an engraver that comes to the fragrance section during the month of December to engrave bottles purchased at Nordstrom for free. Call your local Nordstrom stores to check the dates and times. Some classic fragrance options include:
Lolita Lempicka
Jean Paul Gaultier
Viktor & Rolf 'Flowerbomb'
Believe it or not a wonderful gift option for women is electronics. We like gadgets too! Apple now offers engraving on iPods and iPads for free also. If you purchase either option, be sure to have it engraved and go the extra mile to add that special someone’s favorite songs, movies or even t.v. shows. I guarantee she will love it!
Women like sparkly gifts! You can’t go wrong with jewelry. A statement necklace, bracelet or watch will let her know that you really care. And when I statement I’m talking about a piece that stands out, not something that looks like you picked it up from a the bubble gum machine on your way to her house. Peep the samples below to get a visual of the statement pieces. Stores like Bebe, Arden B., Nordstrom and even Target have a plethora of affordable jewelry options. 
Fallon Victoria Swag Bib
Fallon Stud Spike Comet Earrings
Lanvin Metallic Strand Pearl Necklace
If you happen to be the bomb boyfriend and been there done that with all of these options feel free to hit me up, I have plenty of other gift options. Until next time, yall be cool!

This week The Hundreds brings us Mark Ward in their Chronicles series...

What got you into doing art?
I grew up drawing all the time. It’s what I found I got recognition for as a kid. I was copying cereal boxes, and coming up with my own characters. I was the typical arty kid – felt tip pens everywhere, making stuff from old boxes, fascinated by Disney etc. At first school I used to get gold stars for my drawings, but had red pen all over the actual written work. I was far more interested in the visuals than writing stories. That has just stuck with me through life, and I’ve ended up pretty much doing the same thing.
Were you self-trained or did you go to college?
I went to Central St Martins in London. I specialized in advertising, as I liked the challenge of creating solid concepts. It gave me a good grounding and forced me not to rely just on the aesthetic side of things. It was pretty hardcore, with a lot of frustration at times. Alongside advertising I kept myself busy with my own work. I’d say my aesthetic is all self taught. A lot of trial and error…
Check out the rest of the interview Here.

What got you interested in photography?
My interest in photography…well in all honestly, was nothing I planned on doing. It was not something I planned on as a profession. I’ve always been fascinated by the power of photography, not to the extent that I am today, but, it was always something that interested me. Anything that deals with imagery and visuals is something that I’ve always been interested in.
What is it about Los Angeles that inspires you as a photographer?
LA is an amazing place, for better or for worse. The majority of the people that live here, I’ve come to find out, through the last couple of years, they’re not from here. This is the land of hustle and bustle, and fake it ‘till you make it, and smoke and mirrors. But what inspires me or causes curiosity about LA, is everything. I mean, this is the land that gave birth to gang culture, hate it or love it; it was something that was born here in Los Angeles. LA has so many things, you have Hollywood, which some people think is very glamorous but when you actually go to Hollywood Blvd, its not so glamorous. You have people living out of their suitcase, trying to figure out what it is they’re trying to do, why they’re here, when they’re going back. LA, is just the Mecca of opportunities and the Mecca of missed opportunities.

Upon seeing these cards you can't help but think that this is a "great idea and why didn't I think of that". Too bad someone always takes the genuis ideas b4 us, but don't let that stop you from picking up this set of All Occasion Cards!
Most situations really only require one of the following phrases: "thank you", "sorry" or "fuck you" Well now you won't even need to speak. All one need do is administer the appropriate hand letter-pressed card, and it's stated in style, way cooler than what your mouth could do. Thirty-three of each card in a foil stamped box that reads ALL OCCASIONS CARDS.
Here's an interview from "The Hundreds" series "Chronicles" on Designer Anthony Harrison. Thought this was a dope read so check it out!

What was your entry point into the design field?
I was an intern for an illustrator of children’s books. She worked out of her apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan (Woody Allen’s Universe.) She was paid an advance and got 6 months to complete her work. Macs were just coming into use and she was talking about buying something called a ’scanner’ to get her reference photos into the computer. From there I interned at Jive records and The Source Magazine’s Art Department. My first actual paid position was as a Junior Designer at Arista records.

Ran across this the other day while at the book store. Definitely thinking about adding this as a staple to the Coffee Table collection(might be time for a bigger Coffee Table)! I've been getting into my collections of art, but since I can't afford any of Mr. Warhols' classics this book will be the next closet thing to one! You can find it online at Phaidon. It'll run you around $50.00 but from what I saw it's definitely worth the purchase!
450 of these worldwide, sized at 18 x 24 inches, selling for a
very affordable $75. Get in there quick if you want one.
