To be honest, the Honey staffers are more addicted to eight balls than bowling balls. (No pun intended!) But somehow a bowling tournament seemed more group-friendly than a pool playoff.
So we rounded up a grip of our favorite Newbees (Donnis, Donnie Goines, Esso, Jay Rock, Kidz In The Hall, and Spree Wilson) and our play-play cousins, Nina Skyy, for Honey’s very first Bowling Battle of the Sexes. Vying for the Kingpin title, five of our editors traded our Chucks and Choos for those bootleg Steve Madden lace-ups and hit the lanes for a little 10-pin, a few drinks, and a lot of laughs.
[let it be known that I had the second highest score of the day behind Dan Solomito (Donnis & Kidz in the Hall's Manager)...I dont play when it comes to competition, no matter how friendly it might be hahaha!]
Emilio Sparks x ESSO x Rhya – “Hello” [Official Video]
This is the official music video for “Hello” by Esso from the compilation album “Emilio Sparks x Cloudkickers presents: Kicks, Chicks, & Porno Flicks”. The song features back up vocals by the up-and-coming talent Ryah. The record is available for free download at EmilioSparks.com.
Over the course of 3 days, the “Hello” video was created using still photographs and video footage throughout various locations around New York. Focal points include Harlem, Union Square and the New York City Subway system. This project reflects the creative vision of Mike Shane (Director), Don Arangio (Producer), and Rebecca Bolde (Animator & Editor).

We’re All A Part Of This… [Help Haiti]
When I first heard about what happened with the Earthquake in Haiti, I was pretty desensitized honestly. Being from New York, its so easy for us to not feel any personal involvement with things that go on around us, because its a part of our every day way we operate. I had family that suffered in Hurricane Katrina, so that was very personal for me. My father was supposed to be in the World Trade Center on 9/11 and I was in DC at the time, so those events were pretty personal also. The tragedy in Haiti wasn’t personal for me, until I realized that I had a friend there.
I’ve known Martine Cauthen through friends, and then through events that her and her business partners would throw that I attended. A Few months ago, Martine had a going away party; she was going to teach for a year at a school in Haiti. None of us knew at the time that Martine would become an eyewitness and personal news anchor to all who know her whenwe celebrated her going away. Martine survived the earthquake, and has since joined in the efforts in Haiti as a nurse. Her courage should be an inspiration to us all. I donated to Wyclef’s “Yele” foundation in hopes of contributing somehow to help Haiti get back on its feet, but my contributions are superficial compared to the true heroes of this story who are on the ground in Haiti as we speak dealing with the crisis that most of us are priviliged enough to only experience on CNN. I cant wait to see Martine on Thursday at her fundraiser and give her a huge hug. I know I may not be able to do much, but I’ll do whatever I can.
