WE SEE YOU ... HI, HATER!!

23 comments
E-scuze me, I see you! 

SOOOOOOOO, being an anonymous hater via blogs is apparently sexy as HELL until you realize that the persons you are hating on have a blog tracker! ((Dayummmmm)) and then all of a sudden, you aren't sexy anymore, you look like a teenager! 

(Click to see original comments) 



And in the midst of this you: 

1. Admitted to wearing Forever 21 & Charlotte Russe (DREADFUL) 

2. GAVE PROPS to the person you were hating on (Where they do that)  and 

3. Upped their VIP access in the clubs, Designer fashions, and the way they pop bottles LOL 

SOOOOO at the end of the day, YOU LOOK DUMB. 

And to add insult to injury, u suggest that with all 31 of your followers that u could somehow send some 'spotlight' over to Mimi? 

Girl Lay BACK and let's show u how this works: 

1. 'MODELS' are only models if they get paid and people know who they are. YOU are not a model. Hit me if u want to be and I'll make some calls! (Yes, REALLY!) 

2. If u want me and Nina to dig into our Goodwill pile and toss you some Lanvin & Blumarine, we can make that happen. JUST ASK! 

3. We can also teach you how to go to school, graduate, get a career & conduct yourself as a lady - which is VERY in style if u didnt know! Again, ASK! 

It's 2009 and hating is STILL not cute! You dont have to like everything anyone does - but to go on an anonymous blogger tirade is never sexy and makes u look extremely boring and under accomplished! kk 

MORAL: Hating is ugly and ugly doesn't photograph well. For the sake of your 'career', stop!

UNBEWEAVABLE!!! BEYONCE TAKES IT ALLL OFFF!!

8 comments
A RARE LOOK AT BEYONCE

Now, us glamour girls KNOW we love us some weave!! 

Especially ME! And that's coming from a girl with a head full of good hair, lol! Boys are always talking about how much better girls look natural, etc etc etc ... WELL!

Here's some flix of Queen Bey herself without the lacefronts/tracks! 

Now we must admit she looks DAMN GOOD!!! Buuuut let's keep it honest. If she looked like this 100% of the time, she would not be making the huge buzz that she is now. & frankly, if we all took out our weaves, neither would we lol. 

GO BEY!! LOOKIN GREAT! 


*NOTE: A licensed cosmetologist commented that in the pics at the top of the blog Beyonce was still wearing a lacefront, just a far less dramatic one. Hating?? I'm not sure. do you guys think?? 

DWIGHT HOWARD SHOWS IT ALL!!!!!

Here's one from the groupie files!! 

Got these pics courtesy of MTO!

Unfortunately, they are being some haters and not telling the story behind the flix! Pfffff. 

Do ladies, is it him or not?! Sure does look a lot like Dwight Howard ... & looks like he might be working with a hook! LOL 

He has neither confirmed nor denied that this penis belongs to him so for now it's just speculation! As for me, I'm not particularly impressed if it is him! But I'm not particularly disappointed either. 

Anyway, for the sake of bitchiness I hope it IS Mr. Howard cause all that positivity he pretends to deliver was getting a lil annoying, lol.

Ladies, whatdya think??? Is it him?! Yay or Nay!?

STILL DONT HAVE THAT BEACH BODY??

2 comments

FITNESS FOR THE FABULOUS 

Let's keep it real, ladies! I KNOW I'm not the only one who crash diets the week before I hit the beach! Us girls know we are pros at pretending we look that good year round! LOL 

But the real question is: Why AREN'T we keeping our bodies in consistent good shape?! Honestly, I'd be easier to hit the gym on a consistent basis and not have to worry about crashing to look great for that party! 

I strongly recommend that we all get at the bare minimum 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week ... but since I have no clue what I'm talking about, I suggest you all check out www.DFreemansFitness.com and get acquainted with someone who does!! 

Not only is the site's owner David Freeman CERTIFIED GRADE A Man Candy, he really knows what he's doin. And better yet, he video blogs which we LOVE. 

AND he's going to send us tips on how to grow a bigger booty - the NATURAL way! Which we all are dying to do! lol 


 Just check out the befores & afters. It's NEVER too late to get in the best shape of your life!!

BOOK OF THE MONTH: Zadie Smith - On Beauty

1 comments
I love to read & frankly don't understand anyone who doesnt! Seriously, you guys - people in my demographic don't read enough. So in my 'I can make a difference' mode, I've decided to host a book club and along with any willing participants read and review one novel per month. 

Now whether it's because I truly love great fiction or because I'm spending a summer with my mum who doesn't have a television in her home (no, seriously), I stumbled upon this novel and read it almost without pause. 

In lieu of giving my own personal synopsis of the novel, here is a link to a really great review of the story:


I absolutely loved it! It was a very easy read yet still intellectually engaging. I would suggest this novel to any of my readers and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.

Feel free to share your thoughts on it or give suggestions for future novels!

Upcoming Read: 'a mercy' by Toni Morrison)

The BREAK UP Blog: For MEN & WOMEN

0 comments

Going through a messy breakup? Yep. It happens to the best of us. Fortunately tho, once we stop focusing on the losers who wronged us, we can start appreciating the real men who will take their place! 

The following is a blog I wrote after a bad break up & meeting a guy who made him nothing more than a bad memory. Anyone who's experienced true heartache can relate! 

LOVE at first sight only takes an instant. It may not be stable or secure like true love, but it's definitely enough to make a woman wanna look forward & not back. A woman is but so strong; she can only shed so many tears. Nearly every man has had a girl who gave him her all ... & he gave her heartache in return. 

Men tend to get 'comfortable' & start messing up ... but through hell & high water a good woman will stick by her man. She forgives neglect, disrespect & dishonesty without a second thought & continues to love him as hopelessly and endlessly as she did from the start. & this unconditional love leads a man to believe that no matter what, his girl will be always be there. 

But what you think will always be there can be snatched away from you & u'll be regretful for all things u didnt do or say. A man should never take his girl for granted, nor should he pass up a chance to show her how valued she is. For every time that he forgets how soft her skin feels against his, how sweet her kisses are, or how uplifting her words can be ... for every night he spends with a girl who means nothing to him & for every time he lets his phone go unanswered while she sits hopelessly at the other end ... another man will be there to pick up. And to notice. And to appreciate. 

Maybe he'll simply push her hair off of her face & kiss her on her forehead. Maybe he'll make her feel more beautiful than you ever did. Or maybe his smile will simply make her heart melt. 

& when he leans in to kiss her, she'll kiss back. & then she'll start to fall. & just like that, the girl you always sat on the backburner will become someone else's number one. & he'll tell her all the things you were too arrogant to say. he'll always answer her calls & talk her to sleep. & he'll never pass on a chance to tell her she's amazing. And after awhile, he'll take your place and u'll be nothing but a distant memory to her ... but she'll STILL be everything to u. 

Funky Fall Trends - Nail Polish 101

1 comments
Never can decide on the perfect nail polish?? DONT! Take as many as you'd like! God bless the retro 80's trend that reemerging summer/fall '09. Now a lot of the new styles I'm NOT feeling - but multicolor nail polish is definitely makin a splash! 

Express your individuality with different nail color combos! Most people started with a single color swap on the ring finger of one hand and the pointer of the other, but now it's becoming more and more popular to randomize your color selections. Dont be afraid to go overboard!! 

Make sure to use quality polishes (OPI, Essie, M2M, etc) to prevent chipping! Keep cuticles in check and nails perfectly filed and you can still look mature and classic - even with the most random color selections. 

This is one super cute trend that I really hope sticks around for awhile :)

AIDS & THE DOWN LOW: WO/MEN GET UR FACTS STRAIGHT!

0 comments
THIS IS IMPORTANT, LADIES!!!!! PLEASE READ!!!

I read the most absurd post in a group today & I feel the need to CLARIFY for those of you who are so easily mislead. Please WATCH the short youtube video and read thuroughly, this is very relevent info!

---------------------------------------------------
POST by Amanda Artis: [talking about AIDS/heterosexual transmission]


Please, gather ALL information before spreading misleading and detrimental information. Also, there is only a 0.1% chance of acquiring HIV through heterosexual (vaginal) sex with an HIV infected partner [Padian et al. (1996)] so if those wmen who claim that having sex with a brotha n the DL is the only possible way they contracted HIV, then they need to find out if they were afflicted with any of the 70+ factors known to cause false positive results. Please stop abusing our brothas with such divisive, false information.

--------------------------------------------

MY RESPONSE: 

That video is ridiculous and misleading! I have been studying AIDS in minority women for the past two years and have attained statistics from REPUTABLE organizations (i.e., the CDC) that contradict the stats posted in that video.

IF 50% of the women afflicted with AIDS did, in fact, contract the disease thru IV drug use, that has been since the inception of AIDS in the early 80s. The downlow epidemic is a new phenomena, therefore the DRASTIC INCREASE of heterosexual transmission (seen since 2003) is directly related to black male homosexual activity. 

AND AS FOR UR 'STATs': There is a 0.1% chance of contraction EVERY time that you have sex with that man! That is to say that if you have sex with him 10 times, the percentage increases to 10% and so forth.

The majority of women infected by down low men are in commited relationships and are having SEVERAL sexual encounters with these men, thereby increasing the risk. & that percentage DRASTICALLy increases if that down low brotha convinces that HETERO woman to have anal sex with him, as they so often do. 

IN ADDITION: THat 0.1% stat is from 1996 ... there are strains of HIV in the past ELEVEN years that have mutated soooo drastically that that figure holds little or no relevance today. You should possibly update ur data and stop leading these poor women to believe that sex is safer than it actually is.

You may have figures but u need to work on the common sense aspect. 

------------------------------------------------
PLEASE LADIES, kNO UR FACTS AND DONT PUT URSELF AT RISK!!!
