Now my chance to see my favorite movie on the big screen comes to fruition. BAM is featuring She’s Gotta Have It, Spike Lee’s debut of a sexually liberated Brooklyn chick, Nola Darling. She’s Gotta Have It plays on the notion of who controls a woman’s body and what truly makes a woman a hoe?

Next Monday, BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) will host a double feature part of the BAMcinématek series, Brooklyn Close-Up.

First enjoy author, filmmaker, and Brooklyn native Nelson George’s nonfiction paean, Brooklyn Boheme. Directed by Nelson George & Diane Paragas, Brooklyn Boheme highlights Ft. Greene as an epicenter for forward-thinking black culture in the 1980s and includes interviews with Spike Lee, Rosie Perez, Chris Rock, and more.

After an Q&A with Nelson George & Diane Paragas, enjoy, She’s Gotta Have It and see first hand Spike Lee’s fearless feature debut that took the world by storm.

Brooklyn Brewery will be on hand from 6:30 to 9:30pm offering samples of BAMboozle.

When: Mon, Feb 27, 2012 at 7:30pm

Where: BAM Rose Cinemas- 30 Lafayette Ave (between Ashland Pl & St Felix St) Brooklyn, NY 11217

MAC Cosmetic has unveiled plans for a special collection inspired by Marilyn Monroe. The limited collection line includes eye shadow, lipstick (think retro red and hot pink), nail lacquer and eyeliner and will arrive in stores in October.

“I mean Marilyn Monroe, she’s quite nice. But why all the pretty icons always all white?”-Jay-Z.

I agree. How dope would it be if MAC did a Josephine Baker Collection? I see a line of gold, pearl white, banana yellow and a classic red. That would be a collection that I would buy ten-fold.

Are you excited about the Marilyn Monroe MAC Collection?
