event: NIKE FOAMPOSITE DIRTY COPPER COMING TO SNEAKER CON

The biggest swap-meet of sneaker heat and gear is back January 9th, 2010.

After a successful 2009 showing, Sneaker Con is hosting another convention for NYC and Tri-State shoeheads to trade with their fellow man or to show off their latest digs.

Also in attendance will be thirty vendors with serious kicks for you to get your hands on. This year’s crowd rolled over a thousand deep, and this upcoming show is poised to surpass that number and pack the house. Come prepared and dressed to impress, because this convention is not for the meek. We will definitely be in the building. See you there!

video: JAY Z "ON TO THE NEXT ONE" FEAT. SWIZZ BEATZ

Jay-Z released his illuminati-reference filled music video for his new single “On to the Next One,” which features rapper/producer Swizz Beatz and is being dubbed the “first music video of the new decade.” The official video for the fourth single from Jay-Z’s latest album the Blueprint 3 premiered at the stroke of midnight early this morning (Jan 1) on NBC’s Carson Daly New Year’s Eve special.!

fresco daily: MOST MEMORABLE MOMENTS OF 2009

There’s no denying that 2009 was  a very eventful year.  So we decided to send it off with a round up of the years' most memorable moments.  We'll start off  with the Inauguration of President Barack Obama. Beyonce attended the ceremony where she serenaded the first couple with Etta James' "At Last" as they shared their first dance. 

Kanye West stole Taylor Swift’s shine at the year’s VMA’s. He received a lot of media backlash and eventually went into hiding.

Rihanna and Chris Brown made the news after their seemingly perfect romance turned awry when Chris laid the smackdown on her the night before the Grammy Awards in L.A.

Arguably the funniest and most joked about moment was when Lil Mama hopped on stage and crashed Jay-Z and Alicia Key’s set of “Empire State of Mind”.

Kanye replaced ex-girlfriend Alexis Phifer with bald headed video vixen Amber Rose who quickly became an instant celebrity. Amber went from working the pole for cash to red carpet events, shopping sprees and even front row seats at Fashion Week.

Hip-Hop’s royal couple (no not Jay-Z and Beyonce)  Nas and Kelis called it quits citing “irreconcilable differences”. Kelis took Nas to court claiming she was broke and needed him to hit her off with some spousal support, pay her legal fees, and among other things drop $20,000 on baby Knight’s stroller, crib and other baby supplies. A judge sided with the “Milkshake” singer and ordered Nas to pay her $44,000 a month in child support.

And lastly, the REAL queen of all media Oprah Winfrey announced that she would be retiring her show in 2011 after a 25 year run.

We In The House

Welcome to the inaugural post of Fresco Daily. (Inspired by the many blogs I find myself fishing through from day to day to suit my many interests.)

I decided that there really should be a place where one can go to get there "daily dose" that fuses different facets together to ammeliorate the bouncing around from blog to blog. Sort of a one-stop-shop, feel me? Plus alot of these sites didnt really expose influential and interesting elements of NYC urban life and failed to give me what I really wanted altogether. So suddenly I was hit with a jolt of inspiration and decided, who better than to give me what I want than me.

So here it is. Bringing you up to date daily (or as frequently as my schedule permits). Fresco Daily. Blending Fashion, Pop Culture, Lifestyle, Entertainment and Sports. Highlighting emerging trends and talent.
