ExperiencingTurbulence!
Important message from our Pilot.
Readers;
The last couple of days have been kind of bumpy around here (and obviously not as scenic as we are use too.) But don't fear - we're not closing our gates!
Our dedicated team is in the process of making things pretty fly around here.
So here is a heads up of what you can expect when we re-launch November 1st. Now this is top secret information reserved for my First Class Riders only, so don’t tell a soul (peep my reverse psychology… GO and tell everyone you know!).
Ok, ok, ok, crappy puns aside -I’m happy to announce that FlyKittyFly is no more. Confused? Don’t be! Our blog is now officially a web based art, culture and lifestyle magazine! [Insert applause]
That means we now have a whole “web world” dedicated to the things and ideas we find relevant and even more art, music, politics, feature articles and as many interactive features as our team can cram into our new space. (Which by the way is THETOYPLANE.COM)
This is an immense step for us -but we’re excited as hell about our journey! In the meantime we are still keeping our blog format (so keep coming here), and our dedication to sorting through the fluff to bring you cleaver, quirky and truly entertaining content.
And last but not least.
TheToyPlane.com Magazine is seeking contributors! If you’re a writer, artist, critic, analyst, musician, designer or just a damn good socialite and want to help contribute to our team of masterminds send me a message!
Ex and Oh’s Always,
N’dada “Kitty Hawk” Vaz

POP'AFRICANA visually kicks ass.
World citizen, stunning model, old acquaintance & unique quirky spirit, Oroma Elewa launches a very beautiful and potential filled publication entitled POP'AFRICANA.
Part National Geographic, glossy art-zine & soft porn periodical, le premier issue is available exclusively online. (And if you catch a jones while your there and seek more content, Madam Elewa has dedicated a hilarious -and sometimes harsh-blog documenting the development of her POP'AFRICANA project.)
Bringing Diasporic African beauty to the forefront of pop culture is no easy undertaking. Kitty Hawk Flys salutes and congratulates our Comradista for her stylish efforts!
If you didn't know, know you know. Black girls rock.

CHECK THE ::UPDATE:: (WAY) BELOW
We received this very cryptic email in our box a couple days ago. It was from one of our besties who has been secretly working on some kind of project,show,performance art thing. The invitation conflicted with other stuff on our calender and because of the short notice we contemplated just sticking to our original plan and sending our best regards...That was until we saw the flyer.
We still don't know exactly what we're going to see our brilliant friewin (friend+twin) do, but we're going!
(Sorry Raphael, but I couldn't miss this!)
:::IN AN ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN WHAT THIS PIECE IS, THE FOLLOWING HAS BEN SNAGGED FROM THE PLAYWRIGHTS(?) BLOG, WE PROMISE A PROPER SYNOPSIS WHEN WE FIGURE IT OUT:::
IN PROGRESS:
Michael Paul Britto
This Little Word of Mine
August 1 - September 6, 2008
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE
Thursday, August 21, 2008 6-8 PM

Closing Reception: Saturday September 6, 2008: 6 – 8
Church revival is the theme of Michael Paul Britto’s This Little Word of Mine, the second installment of Rush Arts Gallery’s In Progress Series. During his month-long residency, Britto will stage this revival, complete with choir members and a preacher who will perform a live set consisting of video and music mixing. The Preacher will conduct the choir and the choir will respond to comments made in the video clips, prompting the audience to join in and participate as if in church.
“In his latest piece, Michael Paul Britto contributes to a new ethics of pop cultural consumption by imaginatively restaging debates surrounding African American vernacular cultures and their popular representation. Britto extends his longstanding critique of popular representations of “blackness” and unveils the continued inscriptions of America’s history of racial hierarchy on those representations in a multimedia performance piece that mimics the call-and-response form
of African American religious traditions and focuses on, as he puts it, “the use and misuse of the ‘N’ word.”“

::UPDATE:: 9/5/08
I'm still not sure what I saw. But I came to this profound, mighty conclusion."Nigger" is a word concept, that never fails to offend, shock, provoke and motivate people to do interesting things. Sometimes the 'thing' is art.
Imagine going down home to visit your 'Grandmother-Dears' First AME Zion Methodist Church of the Lord Nigger Christ . On revival Sunday.

A Music Review Named "Life is Real"
Believe it or not, I'm not a member of the "music is healing, music is God, music makes the world spin on its axis, I can’t live without my radio" cult.
Call me an old soul, who only get moved by, well what actually moves me. Make me dance or cry, get me angry or horny, spark the mosh pit and make me two-step till I sweat. Or don’t even bother.
Now don’t get me wrong. I’d love to chase good music but it’s just to tiring. Somehow it still finds me though. Every once in a while I hear something that makes the earth move under my feet.
So it’s circa 2007 and out of the cosmos comes a girl named Ayo with an album wackly titled JOYFUL.
Aside from the album title, this Nigerian-German songbird deserved all praises due. But if singing in a language not your own, producing and arranging your own music isn't enough to convince the hardcore; then lyrically she deads all ill noise. Emotional and heartfelt her delicately nuanced verbs and nouns never came off as pink or gushy nor were we left ever feeling embarrassed for her.
Let me try and break it down like this.
Remember the first time you heard that MJB joint -you pick the one- where you got all caught up in the moment and got a little misty around the eye region? And although nothing even remotely like a Hailey brother beat down might have actually happened in your world - you still felt the shit out of Mary’s pain. And after the song was done you felt like you’d dropped a burden from your shoulders -realizing how much you probably needed that cry.
Cliché? Well yes - but Ayo’s sound was kind of like that. She made music that actually hurt to listen to; but didn't hurt to listen to. Not predictably optimistic or becoming slit your wrist music; JOYFUL managed a harmony rarely found in its genre.
While the strength of her talent was clearly rooted in the ability to make grown men weep, she had a few toe tappers (and a few joints just itching for deep house remixes) thrown in for good measure. Midway through JOYFUL Mami got all flirty-like on the Abbey Lincoln remake of “Supposed to Be Love”( For some reason we feel Lilly Allen should be somewhere taking notes). With JOYFUL Ayo did some cool stuff, and she did it all pretty damn well.
Anyway, yeah it’s an “old” album, but we just came across these videos for the first time today and it reminded us of how much we dig this girl.
Well made and built to last. Kind of like your daddies Chevy.
Why we love "out of nowhere" power moves and the people that make them.
Pretty long blog tittle huh? Yeah, so what.
Any who. As the title suggest, we absolutely love surprises.
Once again our bro Young Garvey from The Socialist Movement -aka "Mr. Put You On When Your Off" - hit us with the WHO regarding the wife of a mutual friend who is doing A Big Tings (Yardie accent in full effect).
This seemingly very sweet, behind the scenes kinda lady -with the cutest little 3 ft, curly headed sidekick ever- goes by the name of Ms. Denise Clodd, known fondly as The Shoenista!
Shortie rock has launched a kick ass vintage clothing and accessories site called Immortally Chic.
Ok, were not jocking but, how dope is that name?
Go check it out...and buy something, cheapies! -
P.S. The prices are actually not bad at all!
P.S.S We are LOVING the current grind by any means, hustle maverick, make shit happen, build a way when its no way, get it popping N.O.W, aesthetic of this generation!
Get 'em girls... Make Mama Kitty Proud!

Who is HEAVy?
Ok so, I admit it. I was way late to class.
A little over 42 hours ago, I was asking that very question.
But I'm a quick learner.
and know I know.
So here's the scenario. It's Saturday afternoon and Harriet's BackYard Couture is heating up nicely. Folks are having a good time, the punch is flowing and all is gravy. But 2 hours and 20 gallons of rum punch later, folks are standing around me scowling & pointing like I'm wearing a scarlet letter...
The blue jugs are EMPTY!
So I gather the troops and we're off in search of the biggest bottle of Captain Morgans we can find. ..Too bad cause the sidewalk show is about to start...oh well!
We are on our way back with bags of ice, gallons of rum, juices, and all kinds of other extras and I hear the two oldest instruments know to man. The voice and the drum....and damn it's LOUD!!
I'm tight. Mad. Upset. Now I'm rushing back to find out what the hell is going on, and where is Ngozi and why is she not stopping this madness! Cause whoever this HEAVy is, they are gonna get our shit shut down! (I'm three blocks away on loud ass, busy ass, Flatbush avenue and I can hear them clear as day)
By block 2 I've stopped cursing and started nodding my head.
By the time I get to the corner it's a wrap.
The musics got me trapped.
Liquor, ice, juice, hamburger buns, change... everything gets dropped ,right there on the sidewalk and it's on... MASH UP THE PLACE!
That's heavy.
Now Meet HEAVy.
Now Meet HEAVy.
P.S. Check out these amazing photos of HEAVy @ BackYard Couture by Richard Louissaint
XOXO

Sunday Best
It's been said, and I do concur - Clothes make the man.
While light skin ain't really our thing, Terrance Howard-in a suit-gets many a panty wet around the office.
Rapper Consequence knows his denim (and dudes footwear is crazy).
Common's frame is perfect for any tailored look he chooses to flex.
Will Smith has his good days and even sweet pants Ryan Searcrest can put something decent together.
But these are celebrities. They should be tight.

So in the spirit of my everyday "so fresh and so clean" bredren, the dope boys who would scour the ends of the earth (i.e. a dank basement in China Town) for the rarest of Dunks, the mighty few who know where "all the hot Lo gear is at", meet Socialist Brand Apparel.
My fam over at Socialist swears that their concept streetwear gear will finally have your beard growing in evenly.
Socialist is that new-new...and now you know.
A little birdie told me that WORLD NYC just got the Re-Up. This batch comes in lemon yellow, cream and baby blue. Ooooooowe!
