What's in The Based Update's Mailbox ft. Black Rose Limited Clothing
Oh yes! We got our eighth "What's in The Based Update's Mailbox?" feature! Who dosen't like getting mail, especially when its clothing? Today we got a sick package from Black Rose Limited Clothing!

Black Rose Limited was a brand I had never heard of until recently, but I am now glad I know about it now. Shout out to Isaiah for getting in touch with me! Continue below to see the review of Black Rose Limited!


Packaging:First of all, the shipping was express mail! That is great bonus because who wants to wait for gear to come in? The second thing is that everything was individually wrapped in poly bags making it not only more professional but extra secure.


Design: The designs are pretty cool. If I had to use a couple words to describe it, it would be simple, catchy, and elegant. Why elegant? The elegance can be seen through the "Ecstasy" t-shirt which is inspired from the L'Estasi di Santa Teresa sculpture crafted by Gian Lorenzo Bernini's and the simplicity can be seen with the "Sangre" t-shirt which is a reminder to us all that beauty can be deceiving.



Quality: Lets go piece by piece... To start off lets go with the crewneck, there is nothing wrong with it at all! Thumbs up! The material is premium, printing is great, it's soft and it's warm. Now on to the shirts... the shirts are soft and smooth, and fit well to the size they are marked as. But, the shirts are not super solid (thick), they are more the american apparel style of tee. That is to be marked as a negative, it is just another style of tee.



Whats left: There were accessories with this package which is okay because what matters the most is the gear!


Is it Approved?: Yes it is! If I could persuade you to buy one thing it would be the The "Phantom" crewneck! It is inspired by the Rolls Royce car, a masterpiece of luxury and art. That is the piece that is both catchy, simple, and elegant! Go and cop it!

Final Word
All this gear is available now here! This line is also a sub link with TMT Clothing store as well so you can get some other gear there if you are feeling them too! While you are at it, follow Black Rose Limited on Twitter.

Kanye West Announces New Design Company Called DONDA


Kanye West has announced the launch of his new design company, DONDA, set to create “products and experiences” for people. The company will encompass 22 different divisions, including architects, graphic designers, directors, producers, social media experts, publishers, lawyers, nutritionists, scientists, doctors, teachers, A&R’s, etc. Through numerous tweets, Yeezy revealed that he intends to “help simplify and aesthetically improve everything we see hear, touch, taste and feel.”

The multifaceted artist further clarified recent reports about his upcoming clothing line for women by negating that it would be named “DW” after his mother, Dr. Donda West. “The name of the line is Kanye West not DW,…the DW was a design element placed on the invite in homage to my mom.” All the proceeds from his hit albums like The Throne’s Watch the Throne have been invested in his entire endeavor within the fashion world. “You guys might think I have some type of backing for my line but I don’t,” Kanye said. “I did the first fashion show out of my own pocket and used the money I made touring to follow my passion. I’ve been working at this for 8 years now.”

In addition, he offered a personal recount on his deep dedication in fashion, asserting that his international reputation has been rather an obstacle than help.

“For the first 16 or 17 years of my life the only thing I knew about my woman’s clothing was what my Mom would wear. I guess some critics would joke that I still don’t know anything LOL. The teachers said I couldn’t focus… I used to get kicked out of class for bringing dirty mags and drawing Nikeys in 4th grade…Being a celebrity has afforded me many opportunities but has also boxed me in creatively,” Kanye revealed. “What good is fame and prestige if you can’t use it to help people… I want to help by doing what I know how to do best .. create.”

Furthermore, Kanye stated that he intends to reshape the American school system, which he says was “designed to turn people into factory workers.” That includes starting a summer school with director Spike Jonze. “There are so many broken systems from the economy to school systems jail systems… we need experts for this.” Ambitious plans indeed.

Ms. Cris "Based Beauties"

Ms. Cris "Based Beauties"

Name: Ms.Cris
Nationality: African American
Measurements: 34c-26-38
Website(s): Official Site, Twitter, Tumblr.

Tell us about yourself. What’s your name? Where are you from?
- My name is Ms.Cris. I’m from Detroit but I’m kickin’ it now in the South.

How did you get involved with modeling? How long have you been doing it for?
- I’ve been playing around with it for a few years now but I’ve decided to take it serious for the last couple of months. It started off with someone liking my look and asking me to do a simple test shoot, and it progressed from there.


What is your favorite part about modeling? What is your least favorite part?
- My favorite part about modeling is that I get to be a chameleon. I get to transform and be a character in front of the camera. My least favorite part is the stereotype people perceive of models, especially of those in urban glamour/eyecandy.

What has been the highlight so far of your modeling career?
- Well I’m a fresh face to the industry, but so far I would say my highlight is my ad campaign that’s getting ready to release with spksmen.com.

Being a model, and noticing what people like about you, what part of your body would you say attracts the most attention?
-I would say my septum ring, which is my nose piercing, draws a lot of attention, as well as my ribbon tattoos on the back of my ankles. I also get compliments a lot on my lips and small frame.


If you could choose one person to have a photo shoot with, who would it be? Why?
- I would say with Kanye West because he’s innovative.

If you had the option to model for any brand in the world, what brand would it be? Why?
- Betsey Johnson because she’s fun and corky!

What is something that people don’t know about you?
- That I rap! I have an EP entitled #EVERYBODYHATESCRIS Vol. 1 that will be releasing in February. If you didn’t know already… I bet you weren’t expecting me to say that!


What is the worst and best thing anybody has tried to do to get your attention?
- The worst thing someone has done to get my attention is pretend to cry on my voicemail. The BEST thing I don’t think has happened yet…

What do you think of the word “based” and what it represents?
- I stand behind what “based” represents. Be yourself and speak exactly how you feel. No censors. No mask.

What words of advice would you give to all the young girls out there aspiring to be models?
- The advice I would give to young girls is to be true to yourself and don’t let others discourage you.


Where can we find and learn more about you?
-Follow me on Twitter and on Tumblr. You can also visit my official site mscris2you.com!!!
