OMFG(lam) - Kardashian Nail Polish For The Win!

So, I know, I know....you are tired of hearing about the Kardashians. They are everywhere these days. Not only do they have their reality shows, but they have their clothing line at Sears, silly bands, and now Kardashian Kolor nail polish! Well, even though you are probably saying that you are sick of them, I just don't really believe you. Guys, you probably don't care about this, but girls LISTEN UP! 

I bought two bottles of their new nail polish by Opi at Target. I wanted to test them out and see if this was actually a good product or just a bunch of KDash hype. Well, I was pleasantly surprised!! This nail polish is just rad. I wanted something dark so the first color I chose was Khloe's color called "Khloe Had A Little Lam-Lam." I bought it just coz it was dark, I didn't realize that it was a dark green, but I LOVE it & have never worn any shade of green nail polish before. So it was kinda a cool choice. Since one of my favorite nail-painting-past-times has been dark colors with glitter on top, I also had to purchase Kylie's color called "Rainbow in the S-Kylie." This is absolutely the best glitter nail polish that I have ever used. It's fun because there are all different colors and sizes of glitter specks with the polish. You can just keep painting and painting the same nail until you get the glitter look that you like the best. This is an OMFG approved product! Go get some!

Check out the rest of the colors here: Kardashian Kolor

Welcome the weekend with an insane lineup at Peachtree Tavern in Buckhead!  Tonight, 3 of Atlanta's most awesome bands will be hitting the stage to rock your face!  Greedy White Citizens are back in Atlanta for the first time since last summer and are bringing new music tonight for your listening pleasure. After attending plenty of GWC shows in Atlanta, I can tell you this is one party you don't want to miss!

The Daniels Brothers are no stranger to the Atlanta scene.  The brothers, from Atlanta,  were raised on Southern Rock music and are influenced by classic rock and alternative.  They've built up a substaintial fan base by playing many bars across the South, including Atlanta area bars: Ri Ra, Dive Bar Buckhead, McCray's, and The Big Ketch.

In It for the Chicks is a 2 piece rock and roll band from Alanta.  If you've never seen these guys, you're missing out! Even though it's only 2 guys, they put on one of the most high energy shows I've ever seen. These guys have also played many venues in Atlanta such as Tin Roof, East Side Lounge, and Peachtree Tavern.




Show is TONIGHT! Peachtree Tavern in Buckhead. 21+ show. $10 in adv/prob. $12 at the door. That's a great price for a lot of AWESOME!

Hope to see you there! I'll be hanging out, ringing in my weekend! Oh yeah!

OMF(amous)G - Russell Brand Files for Divorce

Whelp, just in time for the new year, Russell Brand files for divorce from Katy Perry as TMZ just reported.

Apparently this split is coming as a "shock" to Katy Perry, although I don't see how since it's been in the news for weeks now that they have been having problems. The couple had been married for a little over a year. They seemed like such a good pair, but I guess they just didn't "mesh well".

Click here to see the TMZ post, they will update it as they gather more info on this breaking story:

The Black Keys - El Camino

The Black Keys new album El Camino is good GREAT. Indie/Blues/Folk/Rock at its finest. This record took a few listens before I took to it, which is usually a good sign. It takes a little time to wrap your head around the overall feeling and theme to this record. From front to back, it's another fabulous addition to their library. The album really begins to shine halfway through, literally halfway through. Run Right Back packs a heavy punch, Sister is hauntingly smooth, and Stop Stop is full blown pop genius. My only issue with this release, is that I feel as if Lonely Boy is misplaced in the tracking, it is such a gem, and would fit amazingly as an album ender. (just my opinion). Go check it.

Toyota's Awesome Fun-Vii concept car

Have you ever wished your car could change to fit your mood? Wanted to tell that person who cut you off or is riding your tail EXACTLY how you feel? Well, Toyota's new concept car, the Fun-Vii, will allow you to do just that! You would be able to create custom graphics on the exterior AND the interior display and change them with a simple tap of an app.

Toyota envisions the car as a fully interactive car that is connected to the Internet and a mobile network of other vehicles. Besides just being an awesome and fun car, the the Fun-Vii will alert the driver to potential road hazards such as a car in the blind spot or cars ahead making emergency stops.

The car features would be controlled by a smartphone or tablet app, so changes could be made inside or outside of the car. Pretty neat, huh? Until you accidentally tweet naked pictures to your car's exterior....oh my.
