Burberry: Studded or Spiked Sleeve Coat


*Faints* The photos are from the Burberry Spring/Summer Collection 2011. The photo on top is Burberry Studded Sleeve Bonded Twil Trench Coat and the photo below that is the Garbardine Studded Shoulder Peplum Jacket. I know winter is almost over but if I could get my "hands" on EITHER one of these coats, I don't think I would take it off the whole SUMMER. *three snaps in a Z formation* Retail says $4,495.00 and $3,595.00 (US dollars). Looks up into the great heavenly sky, lets all sing in harmony "wait til I get my money riiigghhttt" ...(Kanye voice).

Color Me Red: Kanye West Edition


We can all agree that Rihanna can NOT sing LIVE. Her performance half-time at the NBA All-Star Weekend wasn't that great. Luckily, Kanye came out to save the day in his RED DISCO PANTS! *LONG PAUSE* Kanye's red tights TOTALLY stole the show! I have a PAIR of these pants in my closet, NO LIE! I got mine from American Apparel (http://www.americaapparel.net/). They fit like a GLOVE on me and apparently on KANYE TOO! But I am a girl though, see American Apparel model below:
Now, that you know where I purchase my pants from. I wonder where Kanye got his from? I didn't know they even made them for guys. FELLAS, would you rock a pair of RED DISCO PANTS? Maybe Kanye is the only brother I know that can pull this look off or did he pull this look off? You be the judge.

For Ladies Only: Introducing Crackle Nail Polish

Ok ladies (and maybe be gentlemen too), I wanted to share this HOT new nail polish that's taking the market by storm. This nail polish has every girly girl RAVING EVERYWHERE. I must say it's a SPRING yes, or any season YES! It's called CRACKLE NAIL! Soon as this nail polish hit the shelves about two weeks ago, it sold out INSTANTLY. Crackle nail polish is exactly what the nail polish does when you apply it…CRACKS. The nail polish simply breaks apart or rather SHATTERS right before your eyes. Cosmetic lines such as OPI, China Glaze, Barry M. (above picture), and etc. are all launching their crackle nail polish line before this spring. So, ladies make sure you purchase a bottle of this nail polish for the spring, so you can have some AMAZING NAILS.



How to Apply Crackle Nail Polish:





  1. Apply base coat: This can be any regular nail polish color, you chose. Remember this will be the base color of the nail. Make sure this coat is COMPLETELY dry for the best "crackle" result.



  2. Simply paint your crackle coat on, then watch and see how the nail polish cracks before your eyes.


  3. After, nail polish begins to crack. Apply any regular top coat after the crackle nail polish is completely dry.

Keep It Cute...Or Keep it on Mute??



Well let’s cut to the chase and take this from the TOP (literally):

1. Hair: Kind of reminds me of a cross between Magre Simpson and Kid from House Party. AND that pink is so childish, how old are we? Get it together

2. Makeup: FLAWLESS. I’m pretty sure she is rocking her latest lipstick edition to MAC cosmetics “Pink Friday” (in stores NOW). Sidenote: Ladies, I can’t stress this ENOUGH. KNOW WHAT SHADES WORK WITH YOUR SKIN TONE!!!!!! If you are in doubt, it’s okk to get assistance from the worker in the Mac store. I have WITNESSED so many ladies “rocking” a lipstick color that doesn’t COMPLIMENT their skin tone.

3. Outfit: Hmmm.Hmmm.. Once again I’m no fashion guru but I’m feeling the 80’s crazy graphic look and how it’s making a STRONG comeback. BUT I feel as if the JACKET with the matching TIGHTS is a BIT MUCH. Do you agree???

4. Shoes: YES. I need those in my LIFE! Love those shoes. The shoes are courtesy of Walter Steiger (never heard of him) but check him out www.waltersteiger.com

5. Accessories: BLAH!

After carefully evaluating Miss Harajuku Pink Barbie Nicki Minaj . I would have to tell her to KEEP IT ON MUTE! I love the tights and I love the jacket but not together. And that hair alone is TOTALLY BLASHEMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Therefore, when I put a person on MUTE, please don’t think I’m hating or what not. NEVER! Many of times a person can have nice pieces but it’s how they put it together, which seems to be the underlying issue, with a lot of these HOT MESSES walking around here these days. So, when we put people on MUTE, the logical thing to do is REVAMP their look. So let’s REVAMP Nicki shall we (see photo below):

1. Hair: Cut that curl FAT-TOP off her head. And LEAVE the short hairstyle BENEATH the foolery BUT color it that JET black

2. Makeup: I wouldn’t touch. I like the pink lip or any touch of color to bring your ensemble to life.

3. Outfit: Put the jacket to the side for a later date because we will use it on another occasion. So, I’m guessing we are going for a “club” look. I would keep the tights because if you want to stand out then I guarantee you will in those tights. For the top, we would simply add a black blazer because the tights are ENOUGH within itself.

4. Shoes: Keep the shoes because they give the outfit the POP it needs.

5. Accessories: Nothing major, just a simple bracelet and earrings will do

In conclusion, do you agree with me or do you disagree? Would you really ‘rock’ a pink curly FLAT TOP in public? Do you believe this is fashion or pure costume foolery? Most importantly, would you tell Nicki Minaj to Keep it Cute or Put it on Mute? (You be the JUDGE).

Love, Peace, and Positive Energy,

QUOTE OF THE DAY: Marilyn Monroe

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."

I'm still ROOTING for you Ted Williams

Just when the Lord opened the "flood gates of heaven" for Ted Willams, things went SOUTH quick. I have recently discovered that Ted Williams still have issues, recently arrested, and will be ENTERING rehab IMMEDIATELY! For those of you, that's not aware of Ted Williams. He is the homeless man with the "Golden Voice" an overnight youtube internet sensation. Ted use to hold a sign on the corner stating that "he had the Golden Voice". A man drove pass him one day and recorded Ted, and he SURE ENOUGH had a GREAT radio. Soon after, everyone heard his radio voice, he received numerous offers from sports networks and radio stations. Within a week of his fame, everything slowly started TRICKLING down hill for Ted. He got arrested for getting into an altercation with his daughter, he started back drinking (which he stated he was 2 years clean) and Dr. Phil offered him to seek help and enter into a rehab program. CHECK OUT THE VIDEO BELOW:: (I BLAME the media! Every since "the world" discovered his talent, the cameras have been in his face 24/7...give him a break. I think this is quit overwhelming for Ted, but hopefully he gets himself together and USE his GOD given talent. #BlessHim)

B.L.A.C.K Love!


Beyonce ex-assistant, Jessica Lashawn wrote an article on the Chicago Now's website about Beyonce and Jay-Z relationship. She was generally speaking about having that match "soulmate" that makes life and living a little bit more easier. And Jay-Z and Beyonce were the perfect match. Read below:


"During the BET Awards in 2006 I witnessed the makings of a real relationship between two overly focused individuals willing to sacrifice and make time for each other in the midst of accomplishing their personalized greatness. I was the personal assistant to Beyonce while she prepared for the debut of her new single Deja Vu. I can recall having the song on repeat throughout the duration of my flight from Chicago to LA and feeling captivated by the 808's and horns. There was something about the song that made me feel as if I were being transported to another place all in the name of love. Like most people, I soon realized that the passion hidden behind Beyonce's vocals was fueled by her devotion and love for none other than Jay Z.
I sat there in amazement as I watched Beyonce go over every step as if her life depended on it. I'd heard all the stories and rumors that she was evil and possibly the daughter of Satan but none of that surfaced. A prime example of her down-t-earth-ness was displayed when she happened to be thirsty and it was my job to get her some water but she chose to go with me in order to ease her mind. She was sweet and reminded me of that home girl we all have that no matter what she just wants to laugh at the end of the day. Everything was going well until Beyonce was informed that Jay Z missed his flight and wouldn't be able to make it to the show and perform. Her face went sour as she took a moment to squat on the floor and pout. She wasn't sad about him not doing his verse but the fact that she wouldn't see him as soon as she'd planned. She couldn't help but mumble to her mother that she missed him. She forced herself not to cry. Stood up and yelled from the top of her lungs.... "let's take it from the top." The passion and determination in her voice echoed throughout the empty theater as she stood on top of a short ladder that served as her entrance wagon.Frustrated about the amount of focus needed to maintain her balance walking down the stairs as they moved forward on an conveyor belt, she gasped. She looked at me in despair and I walked up to the stage to offer her a few ideas. I told her to "turn sideways and walk down on an angel" to maintain her balance. "It's an old pageant trick" that allows you to see where you're going without having to look down, she smiled and laughed as she ran to the top of the stairs, eager to try it again. She did and it worked. She leaped in the air full of excitement about overcoming her final obstacle with her performance. Then a voice rang out saying "Hey You."
Beyonce's face lit up as she buckled her knees and covered her face to hide a child like smile followed by adorable cheeks red and wet with embarrassing tears. It was HIM. He walked in calm and cool but as he got closer he couldn't help but smile and reach out to her and hold her while placing his head gently on top of hers and shaking it. He said hi to her mom and mentioned that he wanted to fake her (Beyonce) out and say he wasn't coming just to surprise her and it worked. The two clicked instantly and started rehearsing but not before a hint of comfort was relaxed on their faces as they found solace within each others arms. After Beyonce let go and slowly removed her head from the chest of the man that inspired the lyrics to the song- she ran to her place- ready to start it all over again. Every beat flowed effortlessly like water between the two. They stopped to acknowledge that this was their first time performing the song and even arranging choreography. The chemistry was amazing and I felt honored to have a front row seat for it all. "
Awwwww. This article gives me HOPE that I will someday find that prince charming (*side-eye*). I love Beyonce and Jay-Z relationship. I love how they are such powerful people in the limelight but are so secretive when it comes down to their personal life. I'm a strong advocate for BLACK LOVE because in 2011 TRUE black love is HARD to find (Heavenly FATHER ...*shakes head*).

Game On or Game off......(Recap of The Game)


Well, I must say GAME ON! I can admit when I first watched the premiere I really wasn't feeling it. The fact that I was tweeting every 10 seconds and my timeline was going HAMMER, maybe I really wasn't paying attention. (#shrug). But anyway, I watched The Game yesterday when I got in from work on-line. (If you missed it or want to see it again. WATCH VIDEO BELOW). I must say I enjoyed it the SECOND time around. Yes, I wanted everyone to be one big happy family but alot can happen with people and their relationships within two years. I think the season will get better. But everyone's character is so "DARK" ugh! Even TeeTee isn't the same. With that being said:
Firstly, Melanie had NO RIGHT, getting a DNA test done for Derwin Jr. When Derwin finds out what Melanie did, I think he will DIVORCE her! #FOUL
Secondly, the whole MEGAN Goode thing... #NEEEXXTTT
Thirdly, GO TO HELL BRIT BRAT! ugh!
Fourthly, not really feeling the "new" Kelly Pitts just RUDE!
Fifthly, I don't like the whole COUGAR thing Tasha has going on with Terrance J (side-eye) but Terrance actually can act!!!!
~other than those MINOR flaws I'm perfectly fine with the Game this season. CAN'T WAIT until TUESDAY at 10pm on BET!!!! ~

Let The Countdown Begin...01.11.2011



Oh yes BIG BABY!! (in Monique loud a** voice). This highly anticipated season of The Game will return in EXACTLY 17 hours 34mins and 30 seconds. I CAN'T WAIT! It's scheduled to come on Tuesday 01.11.2011 at 10pm on BET. This is BY FAR the best thing Debra Lee has done for the network, because it's about to ROCKET! Nevertheless, I hope the first HOUR long episode isn't a bore! This season can go into all types of directions, so I will be LOCKED-IN every Tuesday at 10pm. My "predictions" of what will happen this season :::

1. I believe girl Melanie will TRY her best to get pregnant, and will become very jealous of Derwin child and his relationship of being a "baby father" to Janay. I think she will have a hard time being a wife too. Derwin on the other hand, has more fame, more money, and you know what that means MORE HOES. Therefore, HE IS GOING TO CHEAT AGAIN!!!!! (I mean he is a professional football player..let's be REAL)

2. I think Jason and Kelly will NOT get back together or (maybe they will) I'm on the fence with these two. I believe they will do their own thing but Kelly will not be completely over Jason. Kelly may even turn into a little "whore" lol. But in the meantime, she will be SPENDING allllll his money! SIDE NOTE (Kelly needs to lay OFF the arm lifts, she looks very MUSCULAR now...I don't like it)

3. Jason will have NO CHOICE but to retire from football because he SUCK, his relationship with Stacy Dash will not work out, and he will try to get back with Kelly.

4. **ATTENTION** I hope they CROSS OUT Brit-Brat all together! I don't like that little girl! But, if they decide to "plop" the little booger back on the show. I hope they comb her hair THOROUGHLY this season. #imjustsaying

5. Malik will be Malik. HE DON'T LOVE THEM HOES. (he is my favorite)

6. Tasha will become seriously in love with Rick Fox. Her and Kelly will still have their "beef" but will eventually get over it and move on. Also, her business and her managing Derwin will become greater. Eventually, I think Derwin will leave the Sabers.

7. Tee Tee will be Tee Tee.... can't wait to see how much he will make me LAUGH this season!

8. Umm..why didn't you guys tell me Terrance J will be "Incorporated" on the show "some how" uugghhh. SMH. We have seen ENOUGH of him already on BET. He will probably be on a couple of episodes or whatever, have a CORNY part being a local DJ or limo driver for Malik. o_O

9. Meagan Goode will be making a cameo. (*yawn*)

10. Did i miss anyone???? Well I think every rapper and R&B singer will make a cameo appearance on at least one episode (you know how they try to put them on there).

With that being said, I CAN'T HELP BUT WAIT! (in Trey Songs voice). Catch me Tuesday at 10pm on Twitter because I most certainly will be tweeting my life away!

Nicki & Rihanna:: Fly Video Shoot



Over the weekend, Nicki Minaj and Rihanna twitpic'd (uploaded a picture on twitter, for the slow folks) on the set of their new video "Fly". I love RiRi new hair, because I wasn't feeling that other mop of a hairstyle she was rocking before. Nicki looks great also. Might I add, their make-up is FLAWLESS! I suppose Nicki has on "Pink for Friday" lipstick which is her very own MAC lipstick. Nevertheless, can't wait to see the video!
