Brazilian Woman Sells Virginity for $780,000

A month-long auction for 20-year-old Catarina Migliorini's virginity ended this morning when a Japanese man called Natsu bid $780,000 for the "date," as the NY Daily News calls it. The auction/generally repulsive publicity stunt is part of an Australian documentary called Virgins Wanted, which will fly Catarina to the encounter and will interview her before and after the deed.

Catarina will reportedly use $722,000 of the cash to build homes for impoverished families in her home state of Santa Catarina.

"The auction is just business, I'm a romantic girl at heart and believe in love. But this will make a big difference to my area," she told Folha newspaper.

However, the "filmmaker" behind the auction has questioned whether or not she'll follow through on her charitable promises.

"I was surprised she said that because in all my dealings with her, she made it clear that it was a business decision for her," Australian filmmaker Justin Sisely said in an exclusive interview.

"Now, given how big this story is in Brazil, she's trapped. If she doesn't give any money to charity, she's going to look bad."

It's worth noting that this is a guy who's spent the last two years of his life making a documentary about people auctioning off their virginities, so, you know, feel free to take his opinion with a grain of salt.

And despite taking money in exchange for sex, Catarina denies being a prostitute. "If you only do it once in your life then you are not a prostitute, just like if you take one amazing photograph it does not automatically make you a photographer," she said, which isn't quite the same thing at all but okay.

The same auction also offered a man's virginity for sale. The final price for his V-card? A whopping $3000, which is, as The Cut notes, 250 times less than the price paid for Catarina.

SHORT REVIEW OF Kendrick Lamar’s good kid, m.A.A.d city

The major-label debut from the 25-year-old, Dr. Dre-endorsed Kendrick Lamar, good kid, m.A.A.d city, is the Dark Knight of albums: led by a conflicted hero, it is rich, brainy enough not to be too brainy and utterly crowd-pleasing. Billed on its cover as "A Short Film by Kendrick Lamar," it's actually a feature-length narrative through his youth in Compton. The songs are so conversant with one another that it actually sounds a complete story.

As well as everything works in context, as much as good kid, m.A.A.d city demands repeat complete listens (imagine: a real album's album in 2012!), there are a lot of bites to appreciate on an ADHD level: intricate stacks of imagery ("Me and my niggas four deep in a white Toyota / A quarter tank of gas, one pistol, and orange soda /Janky stash box when the federales roll up / Basketball shorts with the Gonzales Park odor"), clever one-liners ("Hotboxing like George Foreman grilling the masses") and indelible, hooky outbursts ("Ya bish!"; "Every time I'm in the street, I hear ya-ya-ya!"). Its beats both tsk with a mechanical modernity (a la Lex Luger productions) and thud-pivot in a way that salutes hip-hop's past. Lamar is smart, deep and complex but he's also prone to weird voices: there's an Andre 3000 nasality during some hooks, an occasional Kanye growl, and a pitch-shifted Quasimoto-esque helium yelp—all in addition to his natural timbre, which The New Yorker's Sasha Frere-Jones rightly compared to Butterfly of Digable Planets.

Basically, good kid, m.A.A.d city hits all buttons emphatically and with a dazzling dexterity. Its goals of informing and entertaining are simultaneous. In its flood of wordplay and imagery, it feels like an urgent statement, but it could also be read as this deliberate appeal to the taste of rap fans. It ingeniously aligns with their taste and has been embraced accordingly and adoringly.Nice one K.dot!!

Here, Rap Genius's track-by-track breakdown of the entire album
"Sherane a.k.a. Master Splinter's Daughter"
Lamar lusts after a new girl but instead finds himself surrounded by mysterious men. There's a fluid, relaxed delivery here.

"Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe"
With a driving beat, Lamar hopes to break out of Compton and never have to look back, vibe intact.

"Backseat Freestyle"*
Riding in the back of his mom's minivan, Lamar builds on the previous track's plans for his fame with a Hit-Boy beat.

"The Art of Peer Pressure"
Lamar is roped into a robbery by his friends. The four are almost caught, and Lamar panics. Like the first track, this one packs a lot of story in a fast, fluid rap.

"Money Trees" (featuring Jay Rock)
Jay Rock and Lamar describe the hustler lifestyle, and that same girl, Sherane, shows up again.

"Poetic Justice" (featuring Drake)*
Naturally, this will probably be the biggest radio hit. Drake and Lamar celebrate their lives, until Lamar ends up at Sherane's house with a gun barrel to his head. His delivery is flawless, leaving Drake sounding like a bit of an amateur.

"good kid"
Lamar gets a smooth beat from Pharrell as he talks about trying to run away from his life's problems. Finally he's beaten and kicked out of the neighborhood.

"m.A.A.d city" (featuring MC Eiht)
Lamar's Compton friends want to find the men who beat him. In the end, they convince him to drown his sorrows, leading to the alcohol abuse of the next track.


"Swimming Pools (Drank)"*
The darkest song on the album and another hit. Lamar stresses the word "drank" in an anthem for addiction. Unfortunately, booze doesn't offer him the road out of Compton he'd hoped for. Lamar's friends and the men who beat him meet, and a friend dies.

"Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst"
Still hitting the bottle, Lamar thinks about his dead friend and how so many dead young men are forgotten.

"Real" (featuring Anna Wise)
A woman from Lamar's church settles down his angry crew, and his mom takes a call from Dr. Dre, his way out of Compton.

"Compton" (featuring Dr. Dre)*
Dre joins Lamar, and the two know what they've both escaped. Lamar holds his own as a rapper. In fact, Dre borrows his flow.

HELP!!! R.KELLY IS TRAPPED IN THE CLOSET AGAIN!

If you thought the first 22 chapters of ‘trapped in the closet’ were crazy, get ready to have your mind blown again. R.Kelly is releasing 20 new installments of his R&B soap opera, and this week, he dropped the trailer for the series’ return.

Five years have passed  since the last episode of ‘trapped in the closet’, so R.Kelly offers a quick recap of where things left off (spoiler alert: everyone gets a mysterious call). R.Kelly told MTV news that he’s written 30 new chapters. ‘in four weeks, I just did 30 chapters of ‘trapped in the closet’, see wetin boredom dey cause’ and im proud of it’ he said…I added my own noni.

Here comes ‘the question of life’…..why the sudden remembrance after five years????, I was not even in university when he stopped the series but today we thank God, I won’t say more

TO PROSPECTIVE BATCH C CORPERS/OUT OF THE BOX POST

It’s about that time when u go and serve your country, hopefully In a week or 2 u will know which of the states u are going for your NYSC orientation. I have taken the liberty to interview some of my friends to learn their camping experience; I have also scouted blogs, dairies, journals and other archives in,  a bid to get as much info as possible about the three weeks of camp. For those of you that are scared cuz it’s the first time you are leaving your family for such a long time, don’t worry you are not alone. It is that anxiety that led me to this research; hearing people recount their camping experience has put me a little bit at ease. According to most people it is the best 3 weeks of their lives. “u wouldn’t want to leave”. Well, i will be the judge of that after my own experience. I decided to get a comprehensive list of the things we might need to make life at the camp a more palatable experience. Below is the list of things you will likely need:
Condom and Birth Control/After-Morning Pills 
16 Photocopies of Statement of Result (Original and Photocopies)
16 Photocopies of School ID Card (Original and Photocopies)
16-24 copies of passport photo (take as many as possible)
Original & 16 Photocopies of Call-up Letter (This will be taken and not returned to you)
10 plain sheets of paper
A Pen, Stapler with your own pins (will save you a lot of begging) Glue and Tipex (they say everything @ d camp is 4 sale, u want to save as much as possible)
NOTE: Make a lot of Photocopies before going to Camp. A copy can be as much as N20 at the Orientation Camp. Please remember to also take the original documents, some camps will send you home if u don't have originals.
+ A Cardigan
4 Round-necked white T-Shirts  Throughout your stay at the orientation camp, you will only be allowed to wear your white top and shorts; you might not like the ones that will be handed to you at camp so you can get those fitted brands as long as they are white, With these duly pointed out, no need to pack a lot of clothes to the Camp. You should only take a few in case you need to go to Mosque on a Friday or Church on a Sunday.
2-3 extra pairs of white Shorts (All white) A Pair Of Plain White Sneakers (NYSC will give u 1 but you'd be lucky if they fit plus it spoils quickly know Naija & low quality things)
2 pairs of white socks A pair of slippers (These camps are very dirty according to my source, The bathrooms are filthy! The bedrooms are dirty! The corridors are icky! Just have something on your feet at all times)
DETTOL (very essential, BRING or BUY. It's just to disinfect your bath water)
Towel (BRING from home. At least you know it's clean. Anything you buy from Mami Market may or may not be secondhand.)
Bed-Sheets, Pillow Cases, and A Pillow. (BRING from home. Again, the peace of knowing what you're sleeping on is clean. Mattresses will be provided by NYSC. It is best to "double up" with the mattresses, as they are about 1 to 2 inches thick  Handkerchief (BRING from home. There will be BUCKETS of sweating. Do yourself a favor)
Sleep clothes (BRING from home. *note that it is ridiculously hot at night, so a large t-shirt or long tank top and little shorts will suffice) Underwear (Guard it jealously, I was told people steal panties SMH) Detergent (BUY from market. Again, this reduces the amount of load you're bringing into camp. Remember how I said camp offers no frills? You have to wash your clothes, underwear, and bed things. However, if you're lucky the mami market will have vendors offering laundry services! The only caveats are: you run the risk of your stuff getting lost)
A Novel (very essential esp. if u read a lot, or if u get bored easily like me) u can also bring board/Electronic games if u like (Chess/Scrabble/PsP/Gameboy)
Money  (About 10 to 15,000 Naira should see you through the camp period modestly. but if you have to drink and hang out at The Mammy market a lot, then you can take more money depending on how much you can finish, be wise though! Sha budget N1000 per day) Toiletries/Sanitary Pad (If you are posted to the Up-North like Yobe and Maidugiri, pls do not spray perfumes/anything scented, or the flies won't stop hugging you. For the ladies, u will be wearing white all through when it’s time for your menstruation, beware of stains. )
Bucket, soap dish (buy at the camp site, don't stress yourself taking one to the place, they always sell in the camp)
Waist bag (Try to buy this before you get to the camp, very very essential, U've got to put all ur money in it and tie it round ur waist, cos some people won’t come to camp with money and will steal)
Torchlight and Batteries (BRING or BUY. Seeing as there's hardly ever any electricity, and you might want to read at night, having the flashlight helps.
Music (Ipod, MP3, Phone, , just take your music, )
ATM card (u may need 2 run out and get dough)
Painkillers, Malaria Medicine, Allergy Medicine, etc. (BRING from home. You do not want to make the mistake of getting ill in camp. The camp clinic is a BIG JOKE!) 
Padlock (BRING or BUY. Well, you might not need it if u have a hard suitcase - no padlocks required. And anyways, thieves apparently can tear people's bags with scissors or knives to get to their things)
Sun Glasses/Face Cap: (It can get really sunny, especially in the north, but I'll advice all to take sun glasses since you'll be standing on the parade ground for long hours. unless it's rainy season)
MOSQUITO NET (My friend said the camp is Mosquito's headquarters)
If you have a camera you can take it along because you will want to snap a lot of scenes. If you have a Blackberry phone, that’s good for you because you can easily and share on social networks. If you don’t have any of those, you will have to pay some guys on camp who do that as business to follow you around and snap you wherever you go. They might charge up to N2000 for the duration of the camping. They should give you all your photos and videos in CDs at the end of Camping. You will be fed three times a day in camp but I must not lie to you, the food there is nothing to write home about. If you are someone like me who loves to eat good food, make provisions for your own food. You should get some fast foods along, some breakfast cereals and beverages. You should also hold extra cash to eat at the Mami market. You will get good foods there THINGS U DON’T NEED
Don’t take materials like pressing iron, knife, fork, tin cutter to the camp. They will be seized and returned to you only on the last day of camping. I was told this is a security measure.
Food Flask (if you'll eat camp food, I only stood in line for camp food once, and almost got a slap from d lady serving cos I didn't understand the food, so Mammy Market was my savior, and might be yours too, in the end my food flask was gathering dust under my bed) Don't pack loads of unnecessary stuff. As for day clothes (mufti) pack one or two cos you'll only be allowed to go on mufti on Sundays and you have 3 Sundays, so why pack all your clothes? On the 1st day of registration, try to see that after you do your registration where u declare your call-up letter, you endeavor to register for accommodation as early as possible, if not you'll not have a place to sleep on ur 1st night in camp, and that's not funny. The forms that will be handed to you and attach your passport are very easy to fill. Fill them correctly. After your registration, you will be issued with your State Code Number. This will be like your PIN throughout your Service Year. After you have been given your State Code, you should proceed straight to collect your mattress and your NYSC Kit. During my own time, I went straight to my hostel (you will be directed), put my mattress in place before going for my kit. Go for your kit on time so that you can get your size.  The Camp Commandant (the soldier in charge) and the other soldiers may tell you that if you participate in parade, play volleyball, and do all they want you to do, you will end up being posted to a favorable place for you Primary Assignment - LIES! Soldiers ain't got that power at all, maybe the Camp director and some NYSC officials can help, but not all of them have the powers they claim. Have fun but never agree to be manipulated or coerced into anything by anyone. I wish everybody good luck and I hope to see you in my camp.

NEW MORTAL KOMBAT POWER MOVE UNLEASHED

Goodday mortals, its been a while since i posted something on here, so sorry about that buh i just had to answer my nation's call. I have had the priviledge of visiting many great places in the past week. First, i went visiting Patience Goodluck, dont ask me why, i was under compulsion. I promise i will tell you about my visit to her sick bed some other time, it was not as epic as the next place i visited.
Then i proceeded on my best trip of the past week, i was sha on this bus going to ......., #phew things happened on the bus......long story short, the new Mk power move was unleashed, the 'uppercut'®. I cant explain how epic what you will see is, just make sure you watch.
See the move here
And finally, i went to Bet Hiphop Awards 2012, good show, at least i got to touch Nicki's yansh...by mistake. *drops mic*
Very random.
