As previously reported by PastryShoesCollection.com, Run DMC was honored to have their group’s name as a street name in their old neighborhood in Hollis a couple of weeks ago. If you weren’t there for the historic event, here are some videos from the cool people at RapRadar. First up: The street-sign unveiling.
Rev. Run said a few words, looking a little nostalgic as he talked about how he looked up to the late DJ Jam-Master Jay. Touching. Next is DMC.
And last but not least, Jay-Master J’s mom.
It’s always heartwarming to see a legendary group that doesn’t forget where they came from. Congratulations once again to Run DMC, and we all hope that Hollis will deliver the next generation of Hip Hop legends!
A lot of you who visit PastryShoesCollection.com might notice that whenever the topic is about The New York Fashion Week, all spotlights were aimed at Vanessa and Angela Simmons. That’s going to change as today it’s all about Diggy Simmons, who was seen at the major fashion shows -he even sat front row- at the major fashion event with his uncle, Russell Simmons. He was also seen with his beautiful sisters, Pastry creators and reality TV stars, Vanessa and Angela. Here are the Diggy Simmons – sighting at The New York Fashion Week 2009.
See, this guy is serious when it comes to fashion. How many teenagers are lucky enough to sit front row in NY Fashion Week? Not much! It’s lucky that Diggy knows (and related) to the right people in the fashion biz, such as his uncle, Russell Simmons and also sisters Vanessa and Angela who are also frequent visitors of the event.
Let’s take a closer look at Dig’s outfit.
Nice. Is that a Melody Ehsani ring he’s wearing?
Diggy seems to love this cardigan so much. It looks mighty cool on him, as well. To wear it more than once is not a problem, as long as you pair it right. And Diggy pulled it off!
Diggy got to hang out with his uncle, a powerful man in urban culture and hip hop, Russell Simmons, and also his cousins Ming and Aoki Lee Simmons.
Fun times, indeed.
Tell us, Pastryheads. Which Diggy Simmons attire caught your attention?

If you like Keri Hilson and Asher Roth’s track: “She Don’t Want a Man”, well you’re not the only one. Diggy Simmons loves it too and he made a version of his own. Check it out:
Diggy sounds pretty awesome! Talent must flow real good in the Simmons family. It started with Dad, Rev. Run Simmons, the pioneer of hip hop with his legendary group: Run DMC and on to Jojo Simmons who’s doing well with his group Team Blackout. Angela Simmons attempted the singing track with her single “Center of Attention” but hasn’t been seen returning to the studio (don’t we all hope she will?) and now… another rapper from the Simmons family has emerged: Diggy Simmons.
Will Russy Simmons follow suit? We’ll just have to wait, won’t we?
Tell us, Pastryheads: I think Diggy’s version of “She Don’t Want a Man”…
a. …is AWESOME!! I wish he’d do more songs!
b. …could use some improvement, he obviously got talent and I’ll be looking forward to his music.
c. …is ok, but it’s better that he pursue his artistic talent like fashion design.
Remember that PastryShoesCollection.com reported that the Simmons family went to Orlando, Florida for a family vacation? Rev. Run took his family there and watched as Angela, Diggy, Russy and Angela’s boo: Skillz, board the Manta, the newest rollercoaster ride at Sea World, Orlando. We’re probably going to see this on their reality show: Run’s House. Vanessa Simmons wasn’t there to join them -probably busy working on Pastry Shoes or filming their other reality show: Daddy’s Girls. Here’s the video.
LOL! Angela looked pretty nervous, but it’s brave of her to even let herself get strapped on that hanging seat. Diggy looked pretty excited, and so does Russy. However, to those wanting to see more of Skillz, well, you’re gonna have to settle with just a little bit of him there. As for the ride, did you know that The Manta’s highest peak is 43 feet and speeds up to 56 miles per hour? And it can take 1500 passengers an hour. So, are you scared now?
But here’s a question:
If you’re about to board a roller coaster, who would you rather sit beside you?
a. Angela Simmons
b. Diggy Simmons
c. Russy simmons
The thing about Vanessa and Angela Simmons is that although they’re really busy, they always have some room for fun. On the third episode of their reality show, Daddy’s Girls, they had themselves some outdoor fun. Too bad things weren’t as good for cousin Jessica as she was left home alone with the super bratty Danielle. A lot of you might not like the girl so much, but if you have a little compassion, you’d see that Danielle isn’t all that bad.
Jess might be pissed that Danielle is throwing food for her dog, Oreo, on her bed. That’s not a really nice thing to do… but maybe Danielle feels unwelcomed and that’s why she pulls an attitude. Come on, look at her, has she even smiled once since she arrived?
Poor thing. It’s good that she moved back to New York, where she can be happier. Besides, don’t you think Angela is playing a little bit unfair this time? Why bunk this girl in with Jess? Maybe things would have been a little bit better if Angela at least shares her own room with Danielle, knowing Vanessa isn’t a big fan of the girl. Any thoughts on this?
Let’s just talk about the camping trip, guys. What do you think about Angela’s outdoor swagger?
Loving the attire. And as silly-looking Vanessa and Shawna were, you’d know they have style. Don’t you just love Nessa’s shades?
More sillines: remember the fishing dance they invented?
Although the fish a waste as Shawna burned it, they still manage to have fun. LOL! Poor fish!
But the best thing about the whole camping out thing is sitting by the fire, talking about stuff and just really bonding with one another!
Until the mountain lion sounds, that is. LOL.
Oh, by the way, before finally deciding on joining the girls on their camping trip, Brian and Jessica checked out the space for the Pastry store. That is some huge space!
Anyway, which part of this Daddy’s Girls episode do you like best, Pastryheads?
Rev. Run, the partriarch of the Simmons family is a generous man. His wife, Justine Simmons is also a very generous lady. Together, the couple shared their ways of making things work with their children -and each other, through their new book: “Take Back Your Family: How to Raise Respectful and Loving Kids in a Dysfunctional World“.
They don’t hesitate to share some of their secrets in creating the happy family we see through “Run’s House” these days. Here they are talking to a reporter from Hip Hollywood.com:
Any thoughts on this, Pastryheads?
