26 Times...

2010-12-21T02:23:00.010-05:00

Coming from Richmond, VA hearing stories about young people being murdered over nonsense isn't uncommon. So when I heard about the 28 year old female and a male from New Orleans being murdered, it was very sad but the story didn't shock me. I've seen things like this happen time and time again and it's a shame. It's even hit close to my home. My mom's bestfriend's daughter was murdered some years back, along with a male friend. What was shocking to me about this story was that she was shot 26 times (according to some reports). The world has gone crazy. Another reason this story made the news is because the young lady that was murdered is popular New Orleans rapper Magnolia Shorty. She was formerly signed to Cash Money. You can read more on this story at the link below and check out some of her music. RIP Magnolia Shorty. We gotta stop the violence...

It's snowing here and when snow comes to Richmond the whole city shuts down! They start closing stuff before the snow even gets a chance to start. I woke up this morning around 9 and there was absolutely no snow on the ground. I looked out the window an hour later and the ground was covered. So it's officially a snow day. The words "Snow Day" were way more exciting when I was in school. Now it just means I'm trapped in the house. I think this is gonna be a snowy winter so we need snow boots. Since I won't be doing anything outside the house today, I guess I'll take this time to look up some SHOES. I found a couple things I like, still looking around, click the picture for more info on what I already found. And since I quoted Fabolous and I think Amber Rose is fly as hell, his video for "She Be Killin' Em" is down there too. Oh yeah annnndddddd click the link to check out The Fashion Bomb. I think I'll probably spend most of my day looking there too. I love that site!

Soooo, I love making cd mixes for my friends to listen to in their cars. Everytime we go out the the club I try to have new music for us to listen to to get us hyped up for the club or whatever. Well today I heard Lil Wayne's "6 Foot 7 Foot" I swear this is my new sh*t, lol. Something about that beat! You can click the link to listen to it, plus some other songs I'm about to throw on the mix I'm making now. Oh yeah the picture below is Lil Wayne with his mama and lil brother Semaj (James backwards maybe?). I think this is my first time seeing his brother (I can't remember for sure) but he looks just like Lil Wayne! Anyway, click here to see more pictures. They're from Reginae's birthday dinner a lil while ago so you've probably already seen them, lol. I'm late...

Ugh! I love EVERYTHING about being a girl except that one little thing that we just can't escape. I don't even have to say what it is because everybody knows what I'm talking about. My first day is the worst day so I'm gonna try to just stay in bed for most of the day. But there are a few things that I have to have on deck to help me make it through. I have BCs (for obvious reasons). Most of my friends hate the powder but I like how fast they start working. I have a Red Bull because they take away my headaches. My laptop to keep me from getting bored while I'm trapped in bed and the most important of them all... MY HEATING PAD. I swear that thing is a miracle worker. So today is gonna be just one of them days that Monica was talking about... STAY AWAY!! :)

Patricia Field and LTTP

Every night I say I'm going to bed early because I don't want to end up with permanent bags under my eyes and I end up staying up all night doing stuff like watching different YouTube videos, playing Jewel Quest or looking at clothes online. It's becoming quite ridiculous actually, lol. I'm like a baby fighting their sleep. Anyway, tonight for the past hour or so I've been looking over the Patricia Field site adding "Christmas Gifts" for myself to my shopping cart. I first fell in love with her stuff after I saw Rocsi wearing her Field Salutes Sprouse Club Skirt (seen below on the model on the left and as I wore it on the right). I saw a bunch of stuff I want to order but I gotta narrow my list down because unlike everybody on Diamond's "Lotta Money" remix, I have to spend my money wisely, lol. You can see some of the stuff that I found tonight below...

Check Out the Full Patricia Field Site

Oh yeah, I forgot I did mention Diddy Dirty Money's "Last Train to Paris" as one of the things I'm obsessed with it as well. I'm too sleepy to give my review of it, lol. But I'm loving it! Listen to it when you get a chance. Good shopping music:) Good Night!!

Mmmmm, I'm backkkk... kinda

2010-12-14T22:22:00.003-05:00

I started this blog a long time ago (5 years ago to be exact) as a way for me to keep up with celebrities and voice my opinions on things going on with them and whatnot. I gained a lot of popularity with it. Did a lil tv, got featured in some magazines, did a few interviews and the whole nine. Then one day I got bored with it... and stopped. I still have my old posts up for people searching for old news but that's about it. Even though during my long hiatus Haloscan commenting went away and ALL my old comments from my readers were lost:( Ummmm, I'm not really into the whole celebrity gossip thing anymore (well "me" reporting it, I still read other gossip blogs) but I still have many different random thoughts and opinions running through my head. I don't keep a diary or anything but sometimes I need to vent or just get stuff off of my mind so I decided to bring it to my blog. Sooooo... welcome to my mind:)

Janet Jackson performed on TRL rocking an ugly wig and a bad outfit yesterday in support of her latest effort "Discipline" (In Stores Now). She also signed autographs for fans at Best Buy. I love me some Janet and that "Feedback" remix is definitely on rotation in my car, but I'm gonna need her stylist to step it up a notch...

Yesterday, "American Idol" winner Jordin Sparks stopped by fuse's "The Sauce" to discuss her album and show her latest video for "No Air" featuring Chris Brown (check it out under the cut if you haven't seen it). I like the song and she looked adorable on the show. Jordin just looks she belongs on the Disney channel or something. She's so wholesome. And yes, that is a compliment. "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" is my show, lol...

Beyonce New Wig...

2008-02-25T18:46:00.002-05:00

Now I am always the first to admit that I am a Beyonce stan and I've even argued in support of some of those ugly outfits she's worn in the past, lol. But I can not support this new wig she wore out to dinner last night. It's too much hair and it's too blonde. People are always comparing Beyonce and Rihanna, so I might as well too. As far as hairstyles go, Rihanna is winning. I'm gonna need my Bee to step it up. To end on a good note though, her outfit is cute. Yeah, I'm back to stanning, lol...

Nneka Hurley's Handbag Launch Party...

2008-02-25T18:15:00.005-05:00

Saturday I went to up-and-coming handbag designer Nneka Hurley's launch party here in Richmond. If you haven't heard of Nneka Hurley you can check out the spotlight Concrete Loop did on her by clicking here. A lot of my friends were at the party and the bags were really cute, so we had a lot of fun. Nneka showcased the bags from her Spring Collection titled "Arm Candy" and we were all very impressed. My favorite was the metallic rainbow striped clutch. Hot!! Under the cut you can check out the "Arm Candy" bags from the launch. The bags are all handmade and they are at a really good price point.

BET's "Rip the Runway"...

2008-02-22T13:59:00.003-05:00

Yesterday BET had their taping of "Rip the Runway" in New York. The show was hosted by fly girl Lauren London and Nelly. Celebrities spotted at the event include BET's own Rocsi, Terrance, Julissa, Debra Lee and Egypt. Other celebrities at the event include Cheri Dennis, Cassie, ANTM's Jaslene, Lil Mama, Charli Baltimore (where in the world has she been?), Pharrell William, Webbie, Teyana Taylor, Snoop (the rapper and the one from "The Wire") and...well just look at the pictures, lol. I'm tired of naming people. Oh yeah, I don't like this new direction Lil Mama's stylist is taking her in. She is too young and her music is too fun to have her walking around looking like a 40 year old (and I don't mean to fly Halle Berry types). Check out pictures under the cut. The show airs on BET on March 4th at 10pm...
