ELIJAH CONNOR Is THE ONLY JAIDEN's First Elected MR. FEBRUARY For Style

ELIJAH CONNOR, Detroit native and singer, and most notably featured on Tocarra's and Donald Trump's 'The Ultimate Merger' dating show, has graced my blog as my first elected model of the month.

I hereby slate ELIJAH CONNOR as MR. FEBRUARY for Style. I admire this guy's style because it's cool, non-confrontational, bold but never over-the-top, kind of like his very own personality. The all-around way of how Elijah carries himself as a model and singer will surely and already meets his match for success.

I fell in love with these WILHELMINA model pics (not the ACTUAL models, duhh, but the whole ambiance of the headshots and photo shoots) that I found while I was setting up a new group on Facebook.

To Wilhelmina Models: there's no plagiarism of any measure by posting these pictures. this is simply a fashion blog where I post my interests, thank you.

....And here's my version!! The photo below was taken in the serene woods on a cold-snap day near my home, and believe it or not... it's a SELF-PHOTO and SELF-EDIT!

Blogger of THE ONLY JAIDEN Spotted At WWE Smackdown In Detroit

Hey, check out this candid picture of me at WWE's Smackdown Event in Detroit (Dec. 28)! I had such a great time and the atmosphere was ROCKIN' that night!

So one of my friends took this picture of me in my laid-back but still ON-POINT looking clothes. I had my black cap, simple black T, Levi's jeans, Kenneth Cole watch, and custom 'marble' Ray-Bans.

AND my skin was positively glowing... that SHEA BUTTER lotion works wonders.

BOSS!

Merry Christmas from THE ONLY JAIDEN; VERSACE Mens Spring 2012 Fashion Video Inside

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL OVER THE WORLD!! Thanks for viewing The Only Jaiden!

For the holiday season, I want to share with you a few fashion show videos that I viewed on YouTube. In case you're not aware, I am a print and runway model and I'm a huge fan of fashion shows.

The first one here is from Versace's Mens Spring 2012 Show. If though the seasons may be different, fashion shows always stay at least one or two seasons ahead of the game.

Merry Christmas from 'JAIDEN The Model'

Happy Thanksgiving 2011 From The Only Jaiden!

Dear Reader,

I just want to say with all my heart, even though I may not know who you are, HAPPY THANKSGIVING. This is a time to truly give thanks and be grateful for all help received in times of trouble, and being thankful for being surrounded with love as you spend time with your family and friends.

Sometimes family may argue or may not be the key or "ideal" family that you may want to spend the holidays with, but I believe at this critical time, all differences should be set aside to welcome an open heart and open arms because it will truly make a difference in your day.

Remember to "KEEP IT 100" and even though it's Thanksgiving and you're being comfortable, look your best at all times; show your family how good you look!! :-)

Rihanna 'Ball So Hard' VACATION PICS (And 'You Da One' Update)

Rihanna has created a new Facebook album entitled 'BALL SO HARD VACA PICS' or something like that. It's a collection of her vacation pictures with her friends. She has vacationed in Italy, Brazil, and off the coast of Southern France.

Here on THE ONLY JAIDEN, this is my FIRST ISSUE celebrating my ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY of doing this blog, so it's quite a 'self-honor' to place this beautiful young woman here to kick off the ONE-YEAR CELEBRATION!

I encourage you to not just gawk at Rihanna herself but to look at her fashion choices (because you ladies could get an idea of what to wear if you're going to vacation this holiday season), as well as admiring the background scenery.

Thanks for joining me! ONE YEAR! WOW, TIME FLIES!!

(Sidenote: I'm thinking that probably every girl wishes they were in Melissa's (Rihanna's BFF) shoes...)

(Also check out more Rihanna pics on http://rihannadaily.com and new single for you and your love,  'YOU DA ONE ') .

The Only Jaiden Photo Shoot: 'MY UNPREDICTABLE BATTLE'

It's finally here!!! My latest photo shoot that I did with my signature photographer RUFUS SIMS has now reached the web for all (especially supermodels, photographers, and fashion designers, etc.) to see. This guy really captured my vibe, really got the vision that I was looking for.

The theme of my shoot was called 'MY UNPREDICTABLE BATTLE' and the message it aimed to convey was fighting myself to get what I truly wanted: freedom from my own personal bondage and boundaries. My name is Joshua, but my character JAIDEN is a place I escape to and just be FREE. The shoot was simply good work...

...that came with a cold and icy price.

On the day of my photo shoot, there was an unexpected winter storm; I guess Rufus and I should've looked more closely into the weather forecast. That snow came DOWN and was brutal. I know I asked for a scenery of snow on the ground, some ice, and just a mild cold. But let me say, it was all of the above on a GRANDER SCALE. Now I know what veteran models go through.

I was hoping to take a picture by the creek but it was SNOWED OUT. So the talented Rufus Sims and I had to improvise. We did a lot of shots as I was braving the intense cold doing a variety of poses with my frozen hands and feet. But I did my best-- shivering in single-digit wind chills--and Rufus did an EXTRAORDINARY job!

BOW WOW Wears A 'Too-Cool' EYECON '80s Baby T-Shirt! THROOOWBACK!

BOW WOW wore something that many people in my generation can relate to: a T-shirt that has the components of all the things we enjoyed as we were born in the '80s and continued into the '90s. Bow Wow also wore something many of us can relate to: AFFORDABLE CLOTHING!!

Bow did not wear ridiculously expensive clothes, like Kanye usually does. Bow's EYECON '80s BABY T-shirt was only $28, his jacket was a Nike Windrunner for just $80, and the Air Jordan retros were $150!

Any celeb that can rock a cool look for cheap easily goes into my...

*JAIDEN"S PICK*

Man, I really like that T-shirt. I'm an '80s baby so I enjoyed things like Fresh Prince, Sega/Nintendo, Mario Bros., plastic lunchboxes, Doogie Howser, Ninja Turtles, Boy Meets World, hightop fades, action superhero - EVERYTHING (pillowcase, blankets, even drapes!) and SO MUCH MORE!!

Update: 'The Only Jaiden' Promo Pics

I have promo pics for you that represent 'THE JAIDEN BRAND.' That brand represents a select group of people WORLDWIDE who believe that they have an 'alter ego,'  an ego to where they can escape to a deeper state of mind where they can be worth more than they think they are, they are more adventurous, daring, care-free, giving, out-of-box, A COMPLETE 180 from their 'natural self.'

Being in this state of mind is statistically proven to heighten senses and allows one to do have greater human capabilities. 

I imagine a world where I am 'JAIDEN,' a international superhero who helps people in need, inspires and uplifts, can tackle any obstacle, and correct fashion errors all while looking VERY STYLISH -- the only thing that I don't do as a fashion superhero is that I don't wear a superhero suit *LoL*

Even CHRIS BROWN's Tattoos Make a Fashion Statement...

(Click image for larger view)

Good morning, check out Chris Brown's tattoos.. he's upgraded to TWO FULL SLEEVES. I wouldn't do that for me but for Chris, I have to say it looks good, and his tattoo artist's work is impeccable blending in different "fields" of Chris's life (airbrushing, prayer, music, etc.) onto his arms. I'm always admiring different kinds of art, and admiring tattoo art on my blog is a FIRST. Yup...

UPDATE 1/16/2012:



Chris Brown has now tattooed his GF Karrueche on his left arm (near the elbow; right of the pic)

Sidenote: I have tattoos, and my style is using "deep meaning" Latin phrases. See my pic below:

Whaddaya think about Chris Brown's tats?? Tattoo artists, feel free to use the tattoo sleeves pic as a template; see more TATTOO posts!

Black Entertainment Television's "THE GAME" Review

The most anticipated black show of 2010, The Game, has returned back to TV in 2011 (after a 2-yr hiatus) with a glamorous BANG and lots of surprises, twists, WHAT THE... moments, and FUN, FUN, FUN. The moment the show came on, I saw the immediate difference in the atmosphere of the show when the scene starts with "TWO YEARS LATER."

Though I could get into all the details of the show, I don't want to spoil too much for those who haven't seen the show, but I will tell y'all how I thought the cast did. *WINK* 

INTRODUCTIONS:

(For those of you who never watched the show, the names which appear are the cast's character names)

There goes different introductions of everyone who played in the previous seasons of the show. Derwin Davis stepping out of the Maybach was a nice touch. Melanie and Tasha were in their same kind of fire from pervious seasons; Tasha's attitude reminds me of NeNe Leakes from Housewives of Atlanta (love her, love her, love her!)

Then here comes Kelly Pitts with a new short hairdo and some "ho-ish" dresses doing her own reality show. WHAT THE ?? That was the only messy and odd part of the show. And how is it that she gets paid $75,000 an episode to play on "The Game?" We'll see how she plays out for the next couple episodes. She better be worth 75 G's. Jason, Jason, Jason Pitts, playing it as a cool, retired? football player with supposedly a bunch of endorsements. That's a massive amount of swag. He did good "stealing the show" at the end.

MALIK WRIGHT.... is a MAN-WHORE. That's the only intro I'm giving him LOL.

BIGGEST SURPRISES:

Meghan Good!! She was mad sexy being the trophy girl of the power broker who owns several businesses, only to be ALL OVER Malik on the side... in the public bathroom. CAN YOU SAY MESSY???? BUT THE NAUGHTY-GOOD KIND *Smirk*

Terrence J from 106 & Park kissin' and all up on THE TASHA MACK?!!!! That's a BIIIIG WHAT THE ???? moment. I was laughing and laughing because this was so unexpected and Terrence did a good job; he reminds me of me because we're both thin guys and we try our best in what we do.

The Biggest Surprise Yet??

The baby isn't Derwin's.... NOW IT IS!! What's goin' on??! Tune in to BET on Tuesdays 10p/9p Central to follow the stories. I know I will...

THE ONLY JAIDEN's Grade

While some parts of the show were a little odd somewhere along the middle of the hour-long premiere, the show caught my attention the entire time. It's like a BLACK SOAP OPERA/REALITY SHOW all rolled into one. I would keep watching it; I suggest this show to others as well. Why? It's fun, it's "real," it's entertainment, and because I, The Only Jaiden, SAID SO *LoL*.

Grade: B-

Keep up the good work guys!!!

Go deeper and crazier...
