All I can say is you that you have to see for yourself. I have always known the truth about our favorite celebrities that they have the makeup caked on. Wow, some of these are really gross and they look horrible. So fellas all those ladies you think are real fly, take a look at them now. Your girls from around the way look on point compared to these photos.
You will see Beyonce, Heidi Klum, Jessica Biel, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lopez and more
Celebs with No Make up
To all the makeup artists you are truly talented
Presidential Candidate, Barack Obama, was in Norfolk, VA last nite. He had a huge turn out, with over 22,000 people that gathered here in the Harbor Park Stadium that only holds 14,000. Virginia is looking for a change. It would be blessing if he can when this Republican state. It would be the first time in over 40 years. Virginians young and old came out and showed Obama much love.
He will be back in our area in Virginia Beach on Thursday, October 30 at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre. So he knows he has a lot of work here to win over VA.
On Monday I Baracked my vote!
Watch the speech from last night...
Yesterday morning I woke up about 6am to go out and vote for the Presidential Election. I took my mother with me as well and we went out there and did our duty. Surprisingly we were about the 10th ones in line and honestly the line was not like I thought it would be. Walking up to the colonial style buildings here in Virginia Beach, you would wonder if we have truly left the days of slavery. By the time we left there was about 30 people in line, nothing drastic. I am happy people are taking this seriously and know that the USA definitely needs a big change. Whoever takes office (Obama) will have a lot to deal with and we will not see what he has done in the first 4 years sorry to say. He has so much to clean up, I mean this country has been mutilated. Although it will put us in a better position.
Make sure you go out and vote! It will put our country back on track the way it is supposed to be
Go Barack Obama!!!
Proof that I voted is below. The lady would only give me 1
Check out our big homie, Spider Loc, holding it down with the G-Unit Family at the filming of 50 Cent's video, "Get UP".
Spider Loc has been holding it down and is a real good guy and finally is getting all the love he deserves. As you can see here, he is being interviewed by BET Access Granted rocking the FFB Logo Shirt. Thanks for holding down Funkey Flash Back Spider, it is all love and we appreciate it. We can't really hear with the Big Homie Spider Loc said, but it is good to see him doing his thing. GGGGGUnit!
Watch the video here:
Last night in the middle of the night, I wake up and start flipping the channels and found this terrible tragedy that has taken place with Jennifer Hudson's family. Jennifer Hudson is a R&B singer who is on top of the charts right now.
A man came into her mother's home in Chicago and killed Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother. Her 7 year old nephew is missing from this situation as well. I pray that God gives Jennifer and the rest of her family strength to make it during this very difficult time.

Liz Claiborne is going to sell the Enyce brand to Sean Combs for an undisclosed amount of money. I remember back in high school it was a real dope brand and I will not tell you how long ago that was:) All I remember is calling it "NYC" later on I found out it was pronounced differently. So let's see what Diddy can do to revive this brand. We need some of the original "urban clothing" companies to come back and make a true presence in the world of hip hop

The United States has a lot of economic turmoil at this time. Some cities are hit worst than others, but some cities have had the capability to sustain through all of the unemployment and real estate downfall.
Some of the worst include: Miami, Riverside, San Diego and Las Vegas
Some of the best include: Boston, Portland, Oklahoma City and Virginia Beach (where I live)
Want to see if your city made the list? Read the article here Forbes.com Article

No matter what the US government says, you already know the Iraqi's do not want the US in their country. The audacity of a country to go to another country and take over. Well, they are letting you know exactly what they want now.
Watch the video as the Iraqi's protest against the US extending their stay in Iraq

So 2 big giants will go at it I suppose? Nike is suing Walmart over patent infringements over the Nike Shox style shoe that Walmart is selling.

Well, I can totally understand going at people that deliberately do this to you. I have something to say about this though...what about A Bathing Ape with the Nike AF1 style (Bapestas) they have used for their shoes? Maybe Nigo had an agreement with Nike or something. Even past A Bathing Ape, all the other clown shoes you see on the market today that are just imitating the Nike AF1, they have made this shoe a disgrace. I used to love the AF1 all white lows and the mids (well I still love the mids).
What does everyone else out here think about this?
None of us really derive the character qualities God desires for our lives while we are on the mountain. It is in the valley where the fruit is planted and harvested. It cannot grow on the mountain; it must grow in the valley.

A few weeks back a guy I know texted me and told me I think I saw your "Sucka MC" shirt in the Kardinal Offishall video featuring Akon. I was like are you sure, it may be a shirt that looks similar, he said I know your clothing line and please check youtube in the morning, you will see.
So the next morning I go to youtube and look at the video "Dangerous", I did not see anything, then something said watch it again. I did with a fine tooth comb and sure enough, there was the FFB Sucka MC t-shirt. There is a guy in the background wearing the shirt. Obviously someone purchased the shirt from us last year and saw it fit to rock it in the video. I don't know whose decision it was, but we here at FFB would like to truly thank you. This was a blessing for us, that we did not even know about.
Below is an a closer look at the Sucka MC shirt:
Now here is the same shirt in the video. Around 8 seconds you will see the guy behind the girl rocking the shirt
You can get the latest Sucka MC shirt from our Online Store
Hopefully all Americans were able to tune into the last and final debate last night with Barack Obama and John McCain. If you believe in what is going to be best for this country, I know you will make the correct decision. I hope that everyone is registered to vote and actually goes to the next level and actually vote. Our country and economy needs a big change. Whoever makes it into office (Obama) will definitely have a lot on his hands and it will not be easy. The last 8 years have been horrific, so let's do something about this and elect a great American President.
If not I am just goint to move to another country lol
Did not get a chance to see the debate? Check it out below:
So to all my fashion designers out there, did you see Project Runway last night? It was the first time there were 3 females as the finalist..Korto, Kenley and Leanne. Congratulations to them all. As a designer it is all about being unique and true to your own style and not someone else. The winner was Leanne and I must say that she did a great job. Much success to all of them!
