A mistake?

So yesterday I was parading around South Houston with Nathanial, my friend of many years lol. And I decided to go into David Z to look at the selection of Jeffrey Campbell shoes. Well I saw a pair of Litas and I wanted to try them on because I am interested in buying a pair. I must say they are very comfortable. Surprisingly for the height and weight they have a great cushion inside that will not leave people's feet in shambles. However, Natalie laughed at me at I walked around and looked at myself in the mirror. She thinks that the shoes are obnoxious and hideous.

I beg to differ. I mean when I first saw them, I did give them the side eye. They were new and bulky and I was a bit confused. But I do believe that they are the kind of shoe that has to grow on you. Like no one is just going to automatically accept them. Jeffrey Campbell has a way of pushing the envelope with his creations. And I respect him for that. His designs are for the bold and confident. The people who want to make a statement. And I am just that person. I believe that Litas are a statement themselves. I would pair it with a simple outfit and call it a day. They are a definite "neck breaker" because I know no matter where I go, people would always look down at my feet. Lol Natalie sent a picture of them to her father and he responded "That was a mistake, you should save your money instead of being stupid." LOL he clearly thought Natalie bought them. But she didn't because like her father, she thought that they were atrocious, a mistake so to speak lol.

I don't care what they say though, I will probably be rocking a pair of Litas in the near future. I'm not sure which color though. I want to go as simple as possible. They come in a variety of colors and prints. But I want the most neutral pair. Hmm we'll see how that goes. No mistakes will be made though lol.

Absent Father< Present Mothers

After watching tonight's episode of Basketball Wives my sister suggested that I write a post about Evelyn and her father. Well not so much about the two of them, but more of their relationship or should I say thier lack there of. Vicky stated that she "hates when girls blame their absent fathers for their unsuccessful relationships". Well Vicky and I share the same hatred on the aforementioned topic which is why I agreed to write this post. Now, I am coming from a place where my father is currently present, and has been all my life. However, I feel as though I can speak from my position. Because he isn't the most affectionate person. I didn't always hear how beautiful I am from him. I relied on my mother and the mirror for that lol. And also, I have friends who did not have their fathers present just as I have friends who have always had their fathers present and their relationship scenarios have been similar.

Thus, I am here to argue against displacing the blame on an absent father.

So Evelyn stated that the reason why she has made some of the decisions regarding men in the past was due to the fact that she didn't have her father growing up. She didn't have a male figure to tell her she was beautiful and to warn her about certain guys. And bla bla bla. So she is basically saying that she has slept with a few NBA ballers, got pregant at a young age, is combative and ghetto, slept with someone after meeting him for the first time and is now engaged for like the third time due to the fact that she didn't have a father growing up. RIIIIIGHHHHHT (sarcasm). This reminded me of English class one day when one of my peers proposed doing a research paper on the possible reasons why young women engage in premarital sex. And for a minute in that moment,  I thought about all the young women I know who are no longer virgins. Some of them grew up without a father and some of them had a father there all along.

And then there are the ones who had a father in thier home but he was still "absent". Absent doesn't necessarily mean not there, it may also mean that these fathers are just unattentive and way too busy. For example, an absent father can be one who is constantly working or one who showers his children with gifts just to make up for time that he cannot give his children. Absent fathers come in various forms and can belong to various racial groups, ethnicities, religious denominations and cultures. So at the end of the day can we blame premarital sex and early sex exploration on "absent fathers"? I think not! I mean there is a possibility that young women are attracted to people who are like thier fathers. Men who are no good  at handling their responsibilities but good at sticking thier package into women. As vulgar as that may sounds, it can be true. Just as respectable women want men like thier caring and respectable fathers, some women may simply want bad boys. I am guilty of wanting my fair share of bad boys, but that was when I was naive and immature. I want a good guy who isn't submissive. It doesn't necessarily mean that they are bad. I just want someone who doesn't show too much interest in me. Challenges are fun for everyone!!

Are Absent fathers to blame for thier daughters making bad decisions about the guys they choose to pursue? Is the sky purple? Lol the former and latter are both negatives. I don't understand why some women want to put the blame on somebody other than themselves. Because even if there is an absent father in the equation, I am confident that there is a present mother.One who will guide you and nurture you into making mature and educated choices.If there is anyone who is great at talking about the risks of premarital sex, it is a women. It is a strong mother who can warn her daughter about pregnancies and STDs. I'm not discounting that it is difficult to raise one child or many children without the father around. I know how important it is to have a father because I have mine. But I highly doubt that the decisions that I've made to stay celebate and not hoe around would be any different if I did not have my father. But then again, maybe it's because my mother is no joke. She is very active and involved in my life and the decisions that I make. It is important to have at least a great mother in your life if you do not have a father. A great mother entails being aware of your daughter's decisions and making sure she is aware of all the possibilities there are in the world for her. All the possibilities that come around when she is respectful of herself and her body. When she is knowledgeable about how men act and how they can be very selfish.

All of this important to know when you are a young lady growing up in today's society. But displacing blame and anger on a father who was never there is not the answer. One must be willing to take full responsibility for one's actions. Alcoholism is a disease that can be inherited from a parent who has the same disease. But tricking, hoeing and premarital sex should not be blamed on a mother or father. Some traits can be avoided and I firmly believe that one can steer clear of "hoeish" ways if they desire to be respected. At the end of the day, if one sleeps with one to many people and engages in activity that will have her labeled, no one will place blame on her father. They will expect her to be grown and responsible enough to own up for her actions.

Not only is this model beautiful, but these necklaces are as well.
They are the creations of a young jewelry designer named Natosha Gayle.
I'm still trying to find out where I can get her pieces.
They are AMAZING!

Looking FABULOUS just as she did at last night's BET awards.

As you can see I stole this from Theybf.com lol. This is Rhianna at a BET after party looking great.
I love the color of this dress and her hair looks good as well.


 

FemenEmma

So I was watching an episode of True Life where a white girl from Ann Arbor Michigan who was a victim of bullying wanted to be Made into a rapper. Due to her experiences with bullying she wanted to spread her message to others that if they had experienced bullying or currently experience bullying than they too can get over it just as she did. However, as I watched I realized that she was not completely over her experience with bullying. Emma who desired to become a rapper had been hearing that an African American Humanities class had been discussing appropriation and her ignorance towards West African culture. The teacher felt that it was necessary for Emma to study and be familiar with West African culture prior to pursuing any rap dreams. Which I feel is unnecessary for the goal that Emma had. She wasn't trying to be made into a history teacher, rather she wanted to become a rapper. Thus she studied the roots and origin of rap music. Which she was very knowledgeable about. The teacher was very abrasive and inappropriate. She was an angry black women who wanted to displace her deep rooted anger onto Emma. She seemed as though she wanted to blame centuries of bigotry and racism on one white girl who was simply trying to become a rapper. Thus she allowed Emma to come into a class and discuss her desires to become a rapper. Instead, when Emma arrived the class had prepared questions for Emma to answer. Emma was blind sided as she said and I agree. She did not sign up to go to class and answer questions she signed up to tell the class why she wanted to pursue rapping. I felt for Emma because she was misunderstood and bombarded with questions that she didn't necessarily have the answers to. Thus she was nervous and broke down into tears. I support education and enlightening the ignorant, but that was not the way to do it. As a grown women, the teacher should not have gone about it the way she did. The teacher had some underlying issues that needed to be corrected within herself. Emma did not deserve the grief and attack from her peers and her teacher. Emma did say that she did not believe there was a difference between black feminism and white feminism. I did not agree with her but she just simply needed to be educated properly. Not in the matter of a few minutes by a whole slew of angry teens and one overbearing teacher.

By the end of the episode, Emma proved her peers wrong and gave a great performance at her school's talent show. Her lyrics and flow were on point and she represented for the feminists with her lyrics. You know I love me some feminists. Me being the modern day Rosie the Riveter and all that lol.

Wait

Don't be a homie hopper. Homie hopping is never the movement. By that I mean do not go from one friend to another. Loyalty is very important. If you are talking to one guy don't try to explore options among his friends. It's not a good look for you or anybody involved. Lol Also if you are a guy and you try to pursue one girl and she rejects you, don't try your luck at one of her friends. That just makes you look like a serious douch bag. And it's like "Ok, you don't want to get with me, I'll just try one of your friends." It's not that easy kiddo. lol Do yourself a favor and keep it moving outside of the circle of friends. With that being said, don't try to get at family members either. That is DEFINITELY NOT going to work. Guys have tried to get at my sister then try to get at me and vice versa. It is very rude! I don't understand why that idea would ever be ok in a sane individual's mind! Lol I mean I understand that we are both attractive, butttt come on loves this isn't trial and error! You have to do better if you think that you are simply going to get an easy pass. This is not the Verranzano Bride there is no EZ PASS lane lol.

Happy Birthday Khloe!

Today one of my favorite reality TV stars celebrates her 27th birthday! Mrs. Khloe Kardashian-Odom! I love her and I cannot believe she is a cancer. Her vivacious personality is more of an Aquarius or Gemini. Lol but I guess there's always an exception to the rule. I love Khloe and I am her among my sisters lol. Happy Birthday girll!

Good thing Beyonce was not physically present at the BET awards. I was rather perplexed as to why she wasn't there. I was actually counting on her to pick up the show from the trenches. BUT instead she is in the UK giving measly BET shout outs lol. But I do like her new song "end of time". It's catchy, and you all know I'm not the biggest Beyonce fan. But I do give credit when credit is due. But she still should have been physically present.

I'm still confused about the whole viewers choice mis hap. I feel bad for the girl who was simply trying to get her 120 seconds of fame lol. She was misguided by the teleprompter. I was confused and I am pretty sure it wasn't her fault. BET was all kinds of messed up tonight. Hmm I don't know but they have to do better. I was underwhelmed and unimpressed. Ehhh time for me to watch the the DVR'd Mob Wives episode lol. Tootless!

Now I can't wait to see Mr. Diggy Simmons perform. I appreciate Big Sean's performance and he was ROCKING that royal blue blazor!

These are the best looks for this year's BET awards! Some ladies were wearing grey and sequins which is totally inappropriate for a summer award show! But Michelle, Tika and Kerry are looking like a breath of fresh air. I love the color! I just wish some one would have executed  my favorite summer 2011 trend, color blocking. EHH

So I'm watching

The BET awards just as millions of other people nation wide are. And of course I'm looking out for my favorite outfits and performances. But I am sad to report that there isn't anything impressive just yet. I'm currently watching Chris Brown's performance. He initially came out in grey harem pants and a puffy shouldered blazer. Hmm lol it was interesting. And he just flipped out the stage and I guess that was supposed to signify the end of his performance.lol at least Pooch hall and Hosea Sanchez just came out with Meghan Good. Lol I'll be back later!! Tootless :)

PRIDE!

Just as the month of pride is dwindling, same sex couples really have something to celebrate. After decades of mistreatment and inequality, the gay lesbian and bisexual community have the opportunity to be happily married in the state of New York. Following months of congress discussion and bill rejection, Friday made it official for the New York state to allow marriages of all sexual orientations. I am very happy for gays and lesbians! They can finally make their wedding plans in New York. And of course at today's parade they can proudly march down the streets of Greenwhich Village and all other neighborhoods.

This is what she wore

As you know, Solange celebrated her 25th birthday last night. And you also know that I would be on the look out for what she wore to bring in the new year in Vegas. Well I must say that I've seen her look way better. I like the dress but I am not feeling the hair do with the dress.The shoes are also cute but I'm not completely sold on the entire outfit as an ensemble.

She says :" I'm over partying and what not, my heart is telling me to go for it."

Oh ok, I'll be here eating a burger until you come back to your senses.

lol my friends are crazyyyyyyy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOLANGE

Ms. Solange Knowles celebrates her 25th birthday today! Thus making her a Cancer. She is very young and she is doing her thing. I congratulate her on being a great mother and fending for herself. She does not need to be reliant on her sister or other family members to take care of her and her son Jules. I hope she enjoys her day!! I wonder what she'll be wearing to celebrate another year of life. You know I'll be on the look out because her style is impeccable!!

Amy!

Before Adele there was Amy. And as much as I am down for Adele, my girl Amy would be killing the game right now if she was making music. Her voice is amazing and she has so much soul. I really hope she is getting clean and well so that she can bless us with her music again.

Don't shoot the messenger

I understand that everyone deals with break ups and relationships in a different way. Each person is unique which explains why every person handles their personal situations with unique approaches. But I also understand that it takes a strong, discrete and confident individual to keep their break ups and makes ups behind the public eye. Social networking sites can make it difficult to keep things to yourself, but one must keep in mind that these same social networking sites are outlets that expose other people to your business. The last thing you want to do is give people the opportunity to throw things in your face. Especially when you are basically inviting them to do so when you spread your business via twitter, facebook, tumblr and the like. I highly abhor when females express their feelings via these social networking sites. As hurt as these ladies are, it hurts me to see them make complete fools of themselves. I find it pathetic and sad that these ladies do not have friends to express thier feelings to. Or maybe they do and they prefer the former because the former will not respond. I often find myself giving advice to my friends in various instances. I know that there is a time for me to sugar coat things and there are situations that call for me to add no sugar. I am a straight forward person and I appreciate when people recipricate the bluntness lol. I also understand that some people are not as blunt and would like for me to sweet talk them all the way. Nevertheless, tough love can be the best kind of love when your friend is making a complete and utter fool of her self. SMH I hate to be the friend that has to let her know what it is when it is. Which is why I have come to the conclusion that when my friends are recently single due to thier disgusting and lack luster boyfriends, than I need to simply leave them be in thier bubble. As much as it may bother me I am going to bite my tongue. HMM it's going to be painful lol because I may have to bite really hard but I rather do that then to loose a friend. SMH. I always thought a friend was supposed to let you know how they feel and express to you when you are wrong. But apparently not in today's society. People are quick to jump to conclusions and blame you for various things. SOO no more wisdom from Mucey. Lol I'm not the most wise or experienced person in the book but I do have experience and I also have watched plenty of friends and thier experiences. I guess I'm just too caring. It's the sagittarius in me. I said it before and I will say it again, Like Malcolm X I'm for truth no matter who tells it, and for justice no matter who it is for or against.

I love this

If I told you I wanted to talk to you,
You think I'm try'na holla at you,
And maybe I am but,
You wouldn't hear me out anyway's would you? ,
Rather lose love than to move on never knowing what it feel like,
Short days, long nights,
By the phone, no call,
Need a clear mind 'cause I been blind,got me goin' down that road,
Heart made of stone,
Far away from home,
Black woman you cold,
Every problem you ever had with another man I gotta face,
Started off on thin ice,
I'm still here but I can't skate,
Slow sink, can't breath, no remorse, don't think,
Listen to your friend get another man for a minute then repeat,
Queen, you deserve the title but she rejects what I give, while she nurse the wounds by them,
Tried them, didn't work, got impossible standards, nothing I'm a do is gon' work,

If he tried to holla I'd reject him because I deserve more than just a cat call. I deserve the world and I was told that by my mother. I deserve the decency for one to approach me like he was taught the same way. I'm not cold because I don't give in to shallowness and indecency. I'm secure enough with myself to know that a real man would recognize my beauty when he sees me. I can't speak for all black women but I do understand our struggle. I understand that black women are resilient Nubian sistas who have stood by their men during tumultuous times. Only to be cheated, cursed and unappreciated. Can you blame us for blaming these men? No man should suffer for another's mistakes but when things become repetitive, you leave us no choice but to compare you to the others. Wale says we have impossible standards, but the impossibility of those standards are a result of being played and hurt. Each time we experience adversity with a boyfriend, we add another quality to the list of our ideal guy. And sometimes when we see our black male counterparts courting a girl who is not a sista, we may scream inside. Because we feel as though we are being abandoned by our men. We are betrayed because these men have gone to women outside their race for a quick satisfaction.  Black women are strong and independent thus making us a challenge. Black men claim to like a challenge, but when they are tired of fighting for the possibility of making us thier wife, they move right along to the next best thing. To a hispanic or Asian, maybe even an Arab or middle eastern girl. Don't get me wrong, biracial couples are beautiful. But a strong black man with a strong black women is captivating. President Barack Obama married a sista despite his success and all his affiliations. Why can't other black men who come from the Ivy tower marry a sista' who has the same success as him?

**

"I wonder why we sit and cry, I wish we could shed all these tears, I'm down and out. I just keep moving and trying to get out."
 I wonder why there aren't as many successful black men as there are women? I wonder why the small percentage of black men who are successful choose to marry women who are not of the same race as them. I keep wondering why divorce is so common in today's society. I also wonder why so many black women are left to take care of all the responsibilities, mainly the children. Black women are viewed as too much to handle and intimidating. Well I would understand that because Black women have a long history of having to be independent and of having no other choice but to be strong not only for themselves but also for their families. Black women have struggled, stumbled and succeeded. And they will continue to do so. But do they have to find a white man just as their counterparts are finding white women? Do they have to be single and visit the bank just to conceive a child. I mean we want a strong and successful black man to be the father of our children, but how common is that in today's society. We want reliable and hardworking partners who will match our success. So forgive us if our standards are "impossible" and set way to high. Because we were taught as children to never accept less than the best. We were raised to be nurturing and caring. And I know we were taught to stand on our own two feet. We accept genuine assistance but if we can't find it we have no problem doing it on our own. We rather miss out on the opportunity to love if we have to succumb to half ass love. Love isn't in the things that one can give you. Love isn't inconsistency and emotionless attachment. Love is not in the amount of time that people spend together. But black women have had a lot of crooks try to steal their hearts, never really had luck and they could never figure out how to to love. They had a lot of moments that didn't last forever,  just like Weezy said. But a lot of them have given up because chivalry is dead. Because all of their ex's said.....that they would last forever. But now they are in the corner trying to put it together.

Forgive him because he knows no better. Like a child he needs to mature before he can progress. Instead he regresses and his actions digress. For he claims to be a man but his words and phrases contradict. He behaves as a child would, maybe like my cousin who is six. He has moved passed the age of adolescence, however he wines and complains like he just came out the womb. His mom thinks that the umbilical chord is still attached, because she is still very involved in the way that he acts. He is babied and treated like a spoiled little brat, which may explain the fact that he walks all over you like a door mat. He is selfish, egotistical and rude. His pride takes over every conversation in a way that is way too crude. He belittles, mocks and slanders your name. Because he is ignorant and messed up about the game. His approach is insane. For he has no appropriate game. In the streets he hoots and hollers as though talking to an animal. Because he is a man, he thinks with his eyes and not with his mind. He looks at you like a juicy succulent skirt steak, as you wear a banded skirt that you got on sale from Forever Twenty One. He is a bastard son, so his mother did what she could to instill male values into his medulla. But he lacked the guidance and inspiration from someone who is biologically made up like him. He didn't have a father or an uncle who could have guided his beliefs. He was always told like Musiq, that the true definition of a man was to work and provide. But he was always tired, because he never fully enjoyed his youth. He had to provide and supply for Momma and his baby sister Ruth. He watched videos and movies to establish a relationship with some male figure. But the images from cable were small, and the consequences much bigger. Because he thought that Uncle Luke was someone to emulate, which is why he would try to get in your pants on the first date. Excuse him because he is just fooled. By Dwyane Carter, Young Chris and Trey Songs. He believes that his women should walk around in thongs. To provide a glory and a wish that was never fulfilled by any gifts that he was supposed to receive from Santa. Because Momma worked two jobs just to keep them off welfare. But now it's not fair to you and your feelings, because he tries to act out in a way that is unacceptable. His ego is bigger than anything between his legs, so he tries and he tries for you to give him head. But you want to get ahead in a way that's bigger than his ego. Because you have goals and aspirations to fulfill, you have a job and school and the morals that mom instilled. You have friends that love you and try so hard, to tell you that your man isn't anything but a selfish bastard. But you love him and tolerate his childish acts, so it feeds his ego to a point that it's just unrelaxed. He is insecure and so are you, but your insecurities are more centered on the relationship. While his are about the fact that he never had real family besides his gang brothers who are crips. He gang bangs and sells drugs just to get by, because he was always taught to do anything that was worth a try. In order to bring home money for mom and sis. But he gets locked up and all his attempts suddenly become a miss. A diss, the opposite of bliss. Because prison walls and prison sentences are nothing that he would wish. His mom can't understand because she did the best that she could, but growing up in Brooklyn was nothing that was good. Because the area they lived was the hood, and the only people around were gang bangers and drug dealers which is why he is no good. Which is why he cannot be in a relationship with me, which is why he cannot amount to anything I'd like to see. Which is why I understand the story of a black man, because research has proven that staggering unemployment and education rates are marginal compared to their counterparts. But I want a black man instead of a White or Asian. I don't discriminate, but I may hesitate to complain when a black man hoots and hollers, because that's just part of the game. But I'm just saying they can do better. I know that Obama has told them that lately. They don't have to be like their father. Because they can transcend with the appropriate discipline. And I can assist if they are willing to listen.

*Because I'm just a girl who wants a guy who is like my father. Hard, working and disciplined...like the values he instilled in his daughters. Because I want someone who will match my success. It's very seldom that you're blessed to find your equal, but I'm fine with waiting so that we can both be the lead roles.

SPEAK!

After working with other high end designers, H&M has announced that it will be teaming up with Versace this fall. This is interesting and I would love to see what Donatella comes up with for the main stream audience that H&M caters to. And since H&M  will be launching it's online store very soon, the collection will also be available there. I enjoyed H & M's collaboration with Lanvin, but not enough to purchase anything. Maybe this will be different.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all the strong and hard working fathers out there! It takes a real man to be there for his children. In today's society many fathers do not own up to their responsibilities. I commend all the strong willed and hard working fathers out there. Especially mine : )

Spoken.

She is bold and beautiful..cool and comical. She got a switch when she walk and a twang when she talk.  She has soul like Lauryn and the body of a coke bottle. Don't cross her because her attitude will come full throttle. She is fed up and jaded. She comes in different shades of gorgeous melanin. She goes to MAC to cover up the imperfections, but they are never faded. She is young and real and every so often she gets caught up in a deal.She is naive and resilient. She weaves her head with tracks that are too expensive to name. She wears clothes that hug her body because it's all a part of the game. She is jaded and tired from a history of shame. She is raped of her innocence and they say she's to blame. She is cool, calm and collected. She may have a baby father. She may have a few scars from when that girl hit her harder. She is amazing and free kind of like a bird. But don't call her that animal for lack of a better word. Because where she's from birds are no good. Birds and broads are disses in her hood. She is noble, passionate and intelligent. She was on scholarship at the college she went. She is attorney at law. Doctor and political figure. She is journalist and teacher and all things much bigger. She is successful yet hindered. She is has experienced decades of adversity. She has the upper hand compared to her male counterparts. 

Stereotypically she is ghetto and a mammy. Realistically she is refined and a matriarch.  Stereotypically she is over confident and loud. Realistically she is bold and proud. Stereotypically she is easily offended and intimidating. Realistically she is educated and respectable. She is more than just the stereotypes. She is every women. She is great at what she does. She is the back bone. She is the neck. She is bigger than what she is because she has plans. She has goals. She has more than the outsiders will ever know. She has culture. She has history. She has struggled more than we will see.

She is Kesha. She is Pam. She is Renee. She is Ashley. She is Alicia. She is Patricia. She is Margaret. She is Leticia. She is Michelle. She is Sasha. She is Toni. She is Moseley. She is Ntozake. She is Maya. She is Oprah. She is Black, and she is proud. She is African American. She is African, Haitian, Jamaican, Trinidadian ,Baisian, Bahamian, Dominican.

She  is from every where in the Caribbean. She is from ancestors whose skin was all different shades of brown. She is a sista', and she is proud.

This is how I like my men.

Beautiful lady

Why you so obsessed? It's funny how some people claim to be the most unique thing walking the face of the earth, yet their style and ideas are a complete replica of others. It's a bit annoying. I'm not perfect, nobody walking this earth surface is, but I find these kind of people to be rather annoying and fake! Hmmm I'm just blowing off a lil steam. I love my blog spot lol. I wouldn't trade it for a tumblr or twitter any day! Those sites are a tad too generic. And a lot of things on tumblr are simply "re blogs". I "re blog" a lot of my posts from theybf and fashion bomb. BUT a lot of my posts are original. Lovee my blog spot. Love, love my blog spot. lol and I love how it isn't just a fashion or a music or a current events or a my life kind of blog. Its andallthatg0odstuff! HA HA!!!

My Favorite!

I'm in love with this new song by Lil Wayne. Lil toon chi himself! This is very different for him. His songs usually consist of derogatory lyrics, but this is different. This is him singing instead of rapping. And I love it. A lot of people don't, but I have to disagree. This is my favorite song by Mr. Carter!

Spoken.

I've been free styling, free free styling it's a good time it keeps me and others smiling. Because my rhymes are cool and my style is free and my friends are cooler but never cooler than me. Laugh out loud if you must but I'm being serious, I'm being real, I'm being true, I don't need to lie to you boo. I've been coolin out, maxin, relaxin all cute, taking in the breeze that the spring has brought through. I can't believe it's not summer yet, but the climate has said other wise. The sun has been beaming, giving my skin a nice radiant glow. I love my brown skin, love my brown skin, and he loves my brown skin but he doesn't even know. He has yet to find out that he's just a victim in my book. Another one to add to my repertoire, another one to run over like a car. HA HA! Like my money, laugh it off my honey.  I'm just style freeing though, this shouldn't be taken seriously, however my flow is so lyrically..empowered. I'm telling you the truth, I feel like the modern day Rosie. The Riveter that is, because this chick was real she said we can do it. And I believed her ever since I saw her picture in my History text book. She was quite stylish with her red and blue, reminded me of Haiti. Shout out to my Haitians too! Shout out to my ladies, because they can too. Because we run this...shoot. We are the future and without us they couldn't.Guys wouldn't...know what to do. They'd be lost and stupid without our knowledge and nature. Our nurture and skill. Our intelligent minds that help them through. But I can't keep rambling..this is a style free. I swear to you it's off the top as my fingers brush these keys. Don't call me Alicia but I'm sick with these keys! I'm one with these! My fingers type so quickly...hop off my steeze lol! I'm out now..so one for now!

The ladies of NiNaSky have really come a long way.  Although they are not all in the lime light and their music isn't getting much air play, they are still very talented. I stumbled upon their pictures on various blogs and I had to include them on mine. I love their style and their music is fun and funky just like their personalities!



This is how this ensemble should be worn. I'm not quite  sure what Kim Kardashian was thinking when she tried to pull this off. But she looked a HOT MESS lol. I believe she was a tad bit too curvy for this look. And I'm not knocking her curves at all because I love them, and I embrace all women with curves, but she didn't do this look justice at all. Plus this model is gorgeous! Shout out to her...EH HEH!

 

Love this Boho Chic dress on Tika. And her hair looks great also!

Just a reminder, this is not one of those cliche fashion blogs. This is Versatility at it's Finest!

I love all of these looks on Kelly. Which is why she is the Daily Fab all by herself. Lol I really like the hair for Kelly also, it is very Barbie-esque!



 





The past week has been great. I had the opportunity to spend it with great people who kept me laughing! My friend Camilla came from Boston and I got to show her a little bit of my life here in New York. The weather was pretty good which gave us the opportunity to hit up the beach and Central Park. We ran into some interesting characters along the way, which made things a lot more exciting lol. But now the summer is moving along and I'm still unemployed. I think that I'm simply way too comfortable. But I need money and I need to go shopping for a whole slew of things. Therefore I need to suck it up and stop being so picky with the kind of jobs that I apply for. I didn't want to go back to retail, but I may just have to do that!
