I honestly had no idea who was in the Superbowl this year. (I know…I suck!) but once I actually watched this game I was screaming with the crowd. Today’s pic of the day is of Steelers wide receiver Santonio Holmes’ game winning 4th quarter touchdown.? He managed to keep his feet in bounds as Cardinals safety Aaron Francisco defended the play with a mere 42 seconds left to play. The touchdown gave the Steelers the 27-23 lead and thier sixth Super Bowl title.? Whoop Whoop!! 🙂

Jennifer Hudson‘s rendition of the National Anthem before Super Bowl XLIII literally gave me chills. In case you missed it or like me ~ simply want to hear it again, peep the video below:
My favorite celebrity photographer, Derek Blanks unveiled his new and improved website last weekend during an event hosted by NeNe Leakes of the Atlanta Housewives. The event was held at 595 North Friday evening and the walls were ablaze with Derek’s masterpieces.? From Jennifer Hudson to Monica…From Akon to Usher and from T.I. to David Banner. Derek has shot them all.
I managed to arrive LATE and without my memory card in my camera!? The life of a blogger… *sigh* but I love Derek so much that I prepared a lil montage video from the event in his honor. Check it out below:
Shouts out to Derek’s assistant, Robert Ector and make-up artist Toni Acey!
Derek’s photography is nothing less than spectacular and he’s well known for turning images into art. I’m still saving my pennies for my Alter Ego photoshoot (and currently taking donations!) but you can hit up Derek at his new site, DBlanks.com to view his work and/or to contact him for your next shoot.

I was feeling a bit nostalgic and wanted to post Killer Mike’s “A.D.I.D.A.S.” as today’s flashback but noticed I already had it in the archives, so my compromise is Outkast’s “The Whole World” which features Killer Mike.
Enjoy.
