Beyoncé Knowles Is Sasha Fierce
Beyoncé's upcoming album, I Am, is currently scheduled for a November 18th release. It will be a two-disc set, with one CD, I Am Beyoncé, featuring mostly ballads & slow jams, and the other, I Am Sasha, containing dance tracks & club bangers. Sasha is apparently short for Sasha Fierce, a persona Mrs. Carter has been working on for at least the past three years (in a 2005 Vanity Fair interview, she blamed Fierce for her performance at the Grammy's that year). Here goes a recent promo shot..




Pic = Hot. The name Sasha Fierce? Not so much.

Tingy's World Close Up: Blackberry Storm




We know many of you have probably seen the preview commercial for Blackberry's next offering, the Blackberry Storm. Ever since the iPhone released, everybody’s been looking to topple the big dog. None have really made a dent in the iPhone’s title as the quintessential and be all end all of touchscreen phones. However, if there’s anybody who’s going to make a run at it, it'll be Blackberry. Utilizing all of the functions that has made the smartphone maker so popular, RIM (the maker of Blackberry phones) also looks to re-invent the touchscreen with their new “clickable” screen, which offers a level of tactile feel notably absent from any other phone. Look for it in November if you're already a Verizon wireless customer.




And in case you missed it, here's the commercial teaser:

Footwear by Botanica




Caution: Viewing these pics may cause cold sweats and uncontrollable salivation. Feast your eyes on these new hightop sneakers by Japanese brand Botanika. The sneaker comes in white/gold and brown/bronze, mixing leather, patent leather and canvas on the upper. Instead of laces, the sneaker features one long velcro strap, which makes the closing of the shoe simple and fast.

Good luck getting these if you can't speak Japanese.

New York City Council Votes To Extend Term Limits





After a spirited, emotional and at times raucous debate, the New York City Council voted, 29 to 22, today to extend term limits, allowing Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg to seek re-election next year and undoing the result of two voter referendums that had imposed a limit of two four-year terms. (Please refresh this post for latest updates.)

The vote was a major victory for Mayor Bloomberg — a billionaire and lifelong Democrat who was elected mayor as a Republican in 2001, won re-election in 2005, became an independent last year, and decided just weeks ago that he wished to seek a third term in 2009 — and for the Council’s speaker, Christine C. Quinn. But the intense acrimony surrounding the decision left a sharply divided Council and could ultimately damage the mayor’s popularity.
