I loooove Janelle Monae! She's taking the whole Outkast/Gnarles Barkley thing to a new level. Since you obviously know what's up in style and trends, I have to ask if you've heard about If Looks Could Kill yet? I work for Toyota, who released an interactive web series that follows an aspiring fashion designer, Bianca (Femi Emiola, Wicked Wicked Games), into a world of espionage.

And with each webisode, viewers are given a chance at winning prizes, like digital cameras, laptops, and all that fab stuff each week. This week's winner will get a trip to NYC + major shopping spree, and 150 people will win a Bluefly or MAC gift card. Next week: the grand prize is a fully loaded '09 Toyota Camry XLE! Fingers crossed, girl!

Hope I haven't overstepped my bounds by contacting you directly. I'd love to get your take on ILCK since it's clear bloggers like yourself are in-the-know about what's hot and current, so I figured this would be something to catch your interest. If you're into it, check out: http://www.iflookscouldkill.com

Looking forward to hearing from you honey!

Best,

Hey there!!

I keep seeing that same message on soooo many blogs about the Toyota campaign and the company wanting black women bloggers to give them a FREE FOCUS GROUP with their blogs....

{shaking my head}

Free?

Let's not go there...
