:: THE FLOW ONLINE ::

As the New Orleans Saints start what will be probably be the longest Mardi Gras celebration in history many of us have the harsh reality of settling back into our lives of the daily grind. But one thing to looks forward to is the water cooler talk about the best commercials. Of them all there were some hot some not some funny and some whack. For the Flow Online we look at everything from the angle that most closely relates to our lifestyle in the most clever, humorous, or memorable way. So with that in mind their is only one commercial that fits that bill. Now before we reveal our pick first reminisc on this. Now my parents have been married for 40 years so I can't say I have had any guy coming by the house to date my momma. But I have had a guy ask my momma for her phone number. And I have to say that wasn't cool. So if you seen the commercial you already know which one we're talking about. The winner goes to Doritos featuring "Lil Dude with an Attitude". If ever remember some strange guy coming by the house when you were kid trying to holla at your momma this probably your best pick too. Lil Dude came wit it with the smack down and back talk to back it up. I think the catch phrace for 2010 should be "Keep your hands off my Momma, and Keep your Hands off My Doritos". So with no futher a due. The winnder of the 2010 Best Flow Award.

February, 3, 2010--The Flow Online Magazine kicked off it's first of it's series of events to take place across the country, both extravagant and VIP cozy.

The SF Bay better known as 'The Bay', isn't often referred to for it's celebrity sightings. It's definitely not LA and it's true Celebs like Apple, Google, and Facebook have even the most Posh of celebrities lining up for their wares and services.

January, 23, 2010--Master Combs brings in his 16th Birthday with a Bang!

Do you remember your 16th Birthday. For me it wasn't much of a big deal. I can't even remember what I got. I don't even think I even had a Birthday Party. But today that's all changed hasn't it? The "My Sweet Sixteen" show it just seems it become a midteens rights to demand the most extravagant event their parents can possibly afford.

Well the ultimate Sweet 16 or in his case "Swag 16" of all Sweet 16 parties went down in New York City last night at the M2 Ultra Lounge. Young Combs or shall we say Prince Combs broke on to the scene escorting none other than Nicki Minaj herself, who later performed among a star-studded cast of Hip Hop performers lending their hand to make this 16 year party the most memorable possible. Trey Songz, G-Dep, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, Lil' Kim, Fabulous and Webstar all performed that night with MTV on hand to document the entire event.

And... In Prince like fashion, Young "Prince" Combs did the noble honor and donated his $10,000 dollar check that his dad gave him for his B-day to Yele Haiti. As noble as it was, that's an easy donation to give when your other present is a MAYBACH BENZ!!!. You can even here him say in the clip as they talk about the donation that "I already have a lot of stuff". That would be putting lightly. So... I think I can donate $10 Geez if I can still keep the other worth $325 Geez with no problem. But since it's the kids Birthday I will cut him a little slack. At least he thought to toss at least a few coins to the little people as he rolled away in a chariot full of loot. Happy Birthday Young Mr. Combs. I am sure you have a fabulous life waiting for you and we can't see the rest of it unfold.
