GangStarrGirl.com
GangStarrGirl.com is an edgy blog geared toward left-of-center urbanistas who like to color outside the margins. The award winning blog offers a healthy dose of post-modern womanism but also random foolery that will either make you raise an eyebrow or crack up laughing. Check in daily for musings and news items on pop-culture, beauty and makeup, and interviews with celebrities and every day people who are doing extraordinary things.

The GangStarr Girl is crazy, sexy, cool; pretty, witty, girlie and worldly. Her style is so fierce that she can make a potato sack look en vogue. She can tell you off without uttering a curse word but try your luck and she might cut you. She can effortlessly jet off to Paris for Fashion Week but loves chillin’ on her couch in sweats, playing Wii. She is…around-the-way-girl incarnate.
