Two New Vagina Panther Videos!

Its a rainy Sunday in NYC, in other words the perfect day for a mega brunch at home. If you’re ready to have your mind completely blown, take a stab at my great friend Beatrice Tosti di Valminuta’s Uova in Trippa. Translating to “Eggs in Tripe” there is absolutely no tripe involved, but the name is derived from the fact that the eggs are ribbon cut into a tripe-like consistency that is also similar to pasta. When TheGoodLife! crew got together with Bea to make this video, I put down at least a dozen eggs worth of this stuff myself. The eggs are so banging that once your initial food coma subsides, you’ll be heating up the leftovers for dinner, I promise. For a complete culinary experience with Bea, visit her and her husband Julio at Il Bagatto in the LES. Full recipe and instructions after the jump. Allora!

My girls in Rio, the Retalhos Cariocas, have yet another video feature on their empowerment project in the Barreira do Vasco. Contact Luciana Meireles to get involved!

As part of our global Radcollector takeover mission, Brad Clarke cruised up to Burlington, Vermont recently to check out the insane new Burton Snowboards Craig Kelly R&D center. You could call this place the Industrial Light and Magic of the snowboard world, there really is nothing they can’t do there. But don’t take it from me, check out Brad’s interview with Jake Burton where the main man breaks down the motivations for creating a place where shred dreams can come true and naming it in tribute to one of the fallen heroes of the sport.

Some candy from my dudes at Blow - Ashley Marie ay ¡Dios Mio!

My dudes at The ICU have a crazy find on their hands with Iffy, a half Italian, half Vietnamese cat from 119th Street with a psycho Beastie flow. With a little more crafting, this dude has big time written all over him. Bready good looks on the tip!

Every time I think Em is done for (ie this fucking Not Afraid song) he comes back with some murder. I was starting to think Nicki Minaj was real dope until I heard this. She has charisma, but she ain’t anywhere near Eminem level. The dude says “Go take a flying leap of faith off a fucking balcony before I shove a falcon wing up your fly ass. You know what time it is so why ask?” Exactly!

CMJ has been ripping through town for the last week, fucking up the traffic and clogging the restaurants but also bringing with it some bright spots of new music. While it isn’t the incubation chamber for major label talent it once was, shit , labels aren’t what they once were either, CMJ still had some dope showcases. Blow was at the Skotch Davis, Carter, and Rugz D. Bewler show at Public Assembly in Brooklyn and dropped this edit today. If you haven’t been to the revamped Blow site, check it out, they been coming with it lately. Shouts to Daryl and Khomari.

I’ve always felt that my homie Seth Zaplin aka Young Dawgie would be the perfect casting for a live action version of Where’s Waldo? His appearance in this new Jasmine Solano video by Vashtie confirms my hunch. Who can spot him first?!

Mike Malbon has been pushing the creative envelope of the Chop Shop since it’s inception. Continuing with his documentary shorts surrounding the life and times of the LES barber shop he drops a new series this week with “Short Story.” Look for cameos from many of Essex Street’s familiar faces and stay tuned for new episodes dropping regularly.
