Today is the 60th Anniversary of the bikini. We guess it all depends on who you ask because some people are saying the two piece garment has been around since Antiquity, appearing on Roman pottery depicting games.  The modern bikini, however, made its debut after World War II and was invented by two French guys, […]

A mini bus plastered with the “Running Russell Simmons” sign, complete with the best and most beautiful women behind his empire, pulled up a couple blocks short of midtown’s busy Rockefeller street corner, to pick up fashion week worthy studs and stylistas. Right before the bus was about to take off Russell himself entered the […]

Lady Gaga, I had come to believe, for the most part anyway, was ‘one of us.’ And by ‘us’ I mean, the enlightened ones- we who stand unwavering behind statements such as the title of her new record, ‘Born This Way’ (which appears to be yet another nod to her bi-sexuality), who fight hard against prejudiced policies such as […]

As all of you know, I have no issues calling my boss a p*ssy, a##hole etc if I feel he is wrong. However, today I felt compelled to stand behind him strong. He and GG have been flooded with negative comments about Tila Tequila and many of you have made it quite clear that you […]

Ok, maybe that headline is harsh. Let me start by saying when it comes to animal rights, Russell Simmons is a hero. He knows that his voice and the message it carries reaches far and wide. He truly cares about animals, their suffering and ultimate liberation. He is also a yogi so he treads lightly […]

Wow, I just read Kelis’ open letter to PETA and to be honest, its such BS I don’t even know where to start so let’s break it down one ignorant sentence at a time. She seems to like the word ‘rodent’- personally I have no issues with those little critters but if there’s a dirty pest here, it’s […]

One of the things I love and value about being an American is freedom of religion. Freedom of religion is considered by many people and nations to be a fundamental human right…as important to some as breathing. Of course, while many countries have accepted some form of religious freedom, this has also often been limited […]

When I get on the subject of animal rights, Russell calls me an ‘angry vegan’.  He says things like, ‘Oh, Simone doesn’t really care about people -not if there’s a suffering animal around’.  And to be perfectly honest, when I see the recent Peta investigations (such as last week’s footage of those intelligent, gentle giants- […]

Ok, so I’m on a rant lately about gossip sites..and I LOVE gossip sites.  I know I complained last week about them spoon feeding me unhealthy things, but what about when they feed us things that are just plain bad.  Today is one of those days and unfortunately, its not the first or second or […]

Working for Russell means that sometimes I’m the Ringleader and other times I’m a fly on the wall. This rant is from the perspective of the latter. Sometimes I sit quietly, stewing about something that bothers me until it explodes over everyone. Well, today its hitting the gossip sites. Sorry guys! It started this morning […]

This blog was a bit of a struggle to write. Russell and I share so many similar beliefs but at the core, on the subject of animals, I am a bad ass, take no prisoners, in your face angry animal rights activist. Years of being on the streets on a grass roots level have made […]
