D'Angelo has hit a low note.

The 34-year-old R&B singer -- best known for his critically-praised 1995 debut Brown Sugar -- was arrested around 2:30 a.m. Saturday after allegedly offering an undercover policewoman $40 for oral sex in New York City's West Village neighborhood. The New York Post reports he also had $12,000 stashed in his SUV.

In a statement, D'Angelo (real name: Michael Archer) says he will plead not guilty.

Vowing to fight the charge, he said he hopes the public will "allow the American justice system to resolve the matter before jumping to any conclusions."

i think brazil is breeding a supermodel army...

Brazilian fashion website Finissimo held its fourth annual National Underwear Day on Tuesday, sending scantily clad models to bus stations, malls and parading down the street in a celebration of...well, underwear. Style consultant and curator Maria Thereza Laudares explained, "The aim of the National Underwear Day is to make people recognize the importance of these garments left unseen, but which are the first to be put on and the last to be taken off."

strippers!!!

so, thursday night is ladies' night at au bonheur des dames. this involves free dinner, drinks, and a lil show. i went with elia and leoni, pictured above.

this was our dinner. not some silly little finger-foods, chicken, rice, salad and bread.

not too shabby for free!

yeah, this was the show. when it said revue, i was thinking, like, chippendales, which i've never seen either, but i thought they stayed on a stage or something. this, however, was basically a really big bachelorette party (although i've never been to one of those either, so i'm just guessing again...). it was a little bit crazy...

yeah, totally nekkid. no junk shown though, thankfully.

those are some impressive slouch socks though, right? i haven't seen those since about 1991. 

also did not realize boys (or strippers) wore them!

so, the firefighter came out in a full helmut and when he pulled it off, had one of those old men masks on and did his routine for at least 5 minutes with it on!

SO NOT SEXY!!!

elia

leoni

moi

so, all in all, it was a fun night. my first stripper experience was interesting. i'm just thankful i was not one of the "lucky" volunteers. they kinda grossed me out a little bit and were hilarious at the same time. like, when you feel really awkward, so you just start to laugh...

kinda like that...
