Lately I’ve been trying lots and lots of new make-up items. And some I’ve loved and some I’ve only barely liked. So here are a few of my New favorite things because why would I tell you about the things I didn’t like? You can find most (if not ALL) of these things at your local Sephora. And definitely sign up for the Sephora Beauty Insider to earn free things. Life’s so much better with free things.
Stila Smudgestick eyeliner in Peacock :: Oh my gooodness this color prevails on all! I wear it and so does my friend of a darker complexion, and it looks good on both of us. A+ Stila. And its $20 bucks at Sephora. I might like this better than Lancome’s Black Lapiz. Maybe ;/It goes great with anything. If you like to keep it casual in neutral color clothing, this will add instant jazz to that outfit. Or if you like neutral eyeshadow shades (I usually wear gold) this is gr
eat to line with.
Nars EyeShadow base :: I never thought of using a base/primer until I got this sample. Even then I debated on using it. But I got tired of days when my eyeshadow would cake into the creases of my eyes. No bueno. This is just a little tiny brush and you swipe the eyelid. (or at least that’s what I did since it didn’t really come with instructions). It gives great long lasting eyeshadow.
Lancome Cils Booster XL+ Clinique Lash Doubling mascara :: I have short thin eyelashes and mascara can help them look thicker. But THIS 
combo gives me LASHES!! Total adoration for this. I’m giving up Maybelline great lash. More $$ but well worth it. I’ve tried many mascara’s but this one takes the cake. I’ve been instructed by Diq to try the Lancome HYPNOSE Drama mascara… but th
is works so well I don’t want to find something better. More money than my old Maybelline, but definitely well worth it.
And last but definitely not least –
Nars Stylo :: I’ve had this for awhile and man, I totally love this as eyeliner. It goes on quick and easy and stays all day. On days I want an EXTRA dramatic eye, I use the Clinique very black pencil as a base liner and lay the Nars stylo over it. BOOM dark eyes that last aaaallllll day, no fade. (Thanks Diq for the tip!!) One day I was at the Nars counter in Nordstrom and the nice young gentleman told me that tip is reversible, after I told him that I think it was time for a new one because it wasn’t going on AS dark. So I promptly went home and flipped it. Got some all over my hands, but who cares, it was just like new!
My friend Diq is like my make-up consultant. She spent many years working for Clinique and is always giving me tips and hints. But if it was up to her my whole makeup/beauty regime would consist of only clinique products. At least she’s brand loyal. I now spend way too much money at Clinique. Macy’s loves me for it though 
If you can’t try ANY of these by way of FREE sample (as I did) I highly recommend you do so! PRONTO

In case your new to this, you should know I have been looking forward to Alice in Wonderland for quite some time. Way back hen, in NVvember of 2008, i first came across the images on Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter and began patiently waiting.. Then I came across these real scans .. and was in LOVE still. I watched every preview and eagerly anticipated my Imax 3D experience.
So this weekend I did it. I sat there in front of a row of 8-year olds and watched Tim Burton bring it. And I think it was brought! Some reviewers online said that it wasn’t good. I disagree. I think I had extremely high hopes for this movie, being the ultimate J.Depp and T.Burton fan. I know that because it was a Disney movie it couldn’t be as creepy as I’d like it, but it was good.
Storyline: We all know that Alice falls down a rabbit hole into Wonderland where she battle the Red Queen .. The story doesn’t change, except that in this adaption, Alice has been to Wonderland before. She’s 19 and not 6. Alice was my least favorite character. She was so … insolent. She looked great though. I totally adored the dresses they styled her in. This was my favorite:
Besides the fashion, She was just so blah. She didn’t add anything extra to Alice. The other actors carried this movie.
I loved Helena Bonham Carter in her role as Red Queen. I don’t understand why she had such a huge head. I do wish they would have elaborated on that. Johnny Depp was creepy. I don’t know how I want to describe his character. He definitely was ‘Mad’. His make up was flawless! And the Dance (you have to watch the movie to see this) was like WTF. I think that that was odd. I loved Professor Snapes Caterpillar. He was creepy. His voice is so creepy. Snape is a win in my book. Anne Hathaway’s White Queen was good. Her role was small, but well played. Her gliding everywhere kind of irked me. I kept thinking, ‘Why is this B!tch gliding all over the place?” LOL. OH, and the Jabowokee? I thought he was really out of place for this movie. His ugliness was just soo .. un Wonderland. HE should have been more colorful and more of a slickster fighter. IDK .. I’m sure he’ll make a cool action figure though.
All in all this film was entertaining to watch. Not Tim Burton’s or Johnny Depp’s best. But good nonetheless. Now that I’ve seen the movie, I’m going to read the book, because apparently some critics out there are upset about this adaptation. I want to see what all the fuss is about.

WolfMan!!
“Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms, and the autumn moon is bright.”
It sounds like it should be scary, right? That’s what I thought too about the move The Wolfman. All the previews made it look devilishly creepy and exciting. So, you can imagine that I was very excited to be creeped out at the movies last night. I should have known something would be amiss when the lady in front of me gave us a stank face when we said we were going to see Wolfman. It was that face like Nina gave Carrie in the bathroom.. Yeah, that bad.
I don’t want to spoil the movie for anyone, but I will say that while not a movie that kept me on my toes, it was gory. Blood gushing, guts on the floor goryness that some people enjoy. And that is what you need with a movie set in the last 1800s, blood and gore to spice it up. I would definitely recommend waiting for the DVD or the HBO premiere of this movie. While entertaining its not worth the steep 10.50 movie price. But now I’m curious to see the 1941 version. I have this thing where I need to see the original and the remake. I have a lot of originals to catch up on.
Benecio Del Toro is a great actor. He played anguished so well. Anthony Hopkins can never NOT be creepy. It’s just in his blood. Emily Blunt was someone I never paid much attention to, and I probably still won’t, but she was good.

Never have I been an Ed Hardy fan. I mean, who was this brand I had never heard of, and why are people so gaga over it suddenly? And why the hell are there skulls on damn near everything? But yet they were so popular it’s a wine now?
And then I’m on Zappos browsing for some scarves and Ed Hardy has some pretty dope ones. Absoutely FAB scarves. Also Absolutely OVERpriced too! And that’s why I freaking LOVE Zappos! I mean, their customer service is the bomb! They are great. They always respond to @ replies on twitter. Even before twitter, when I had to call them, they were helpful. Absolutely adore Zappos and their low costs. And I am loving these scarves I found by Ed Hardy (for a significantly lower price!!)
check them:
Wild Ride Fringe scarf CUTE!!
Silk C'mse - you can't even tell those are skulls!
And this one- my FAV!
They have soo many cute scarves and other accessories you must check them out. Not that I’m going to turn around and become an Ed Hardy fan, but he does have a lot of stuff I wasn’t familiar with. Those skulls just don’t do it for me though. And I’m just not sold on Ed Hardy shoes. The sneakers were cute for kids, but the heels? For women, no bueno!!

In case you don’t know this about me, I absolutely ADORE Eric Jerome Dickey. No matter what genre of books I’m currently reading at the moment, if he drops some new heat, I have to purchase and read it. This will continue on until he gets whack. Anywho, I just finished reading the 4th installment of the Gideon series, Resurrecting Midnight.
To catch you up, Gideon is a hit man who we’ve followed from the US to London back to the US then to the Caribbean back to the US and now he’s in Argentina. Gideon is a lover and one hell of a fighter. In my mind Gideon is milk chocolate brown, about 6’4 with Abs to die for. His legs are to die for as well as his biceps. He definitely eye candy, which is why he has no problem getting women. From Queen Scamz, Arizona, to Lola Mack. My favorite of these women being Hawks. Hawks is the perfect amount of toughness and vulnerability that Gideon deserves. Love her.
Anywho, this installment with Gideon takes on behind his Public Enemy #1: Midnight aka Medianoche. Midnight isn’t just a regular enemy, pat of the baddest group of Mo’Fo’s south of the border-The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse-He takes Daddy issues to the extreme. EXTREME!
I love EJDs books, because he takes you behind the eyes of the protagonist and the antagonist. He does it in a way that has you loving each character. It’s not enough to give us a main character to love. We have to be torn on the side of whether his enemy is really truly an enemy. And, while even though we love them, Gideon must go on.
This person on Amazon said it best,
Gideon is the main course, but the main course in and of itself is nothing. You need side dishes. Side dishes that bring OUT the main course, and make this meal perfect enough to be your last meal. The “side dishes” in this book/series would be Scamz, Arizona, Hawks, Konstantin, Catherine, and my favorite Alvin White. They are to Gideon what hot sauce is to fried gizzards.
I seriously could not have explained it any better than that. Well, except gizzards, I don’t do those. But you get the drift. Back on track …
EJD is so great at taking you to a new place. I mean, I feel like if I fly into Argentina tomorrow I know where I should go. I would know which sites to see and where NOT to go. He totally takes over all your senses, and manages to sneak in a little pop culture too. He’s just dope.
All in all this book rocks, so please check it out.If you haven’t read all the Gideon books before this, go check them out and get caught up in this world with Gideon and his hired hits and his personal dilemmas.

In case ya’ll don’t know Wendy Williams is, as she would call it, a friend in my head. I like to think we’re cool because we’re from the same small town area (Yay Monmouth county!!). I like to support her endeavors. I listen to her show when I can, I’ve read all her books, and I dvr’ed her show because it came on mid day when I was working. Now, this doesn’t mean I’m a stan, but hey I like what I like, so who cares. Anyway, I didn’t even know the self-proclaimed Queen of All Media had a new addition to her Ritz Harper Chronicles until I stolled up in Borders the other day (which was odd in itself because I’m a Barnes & Noble kinda girl, but I digress).
Wendy, love ya no matter what, but this book blows. Seriously. I guess the best way to say how I feel is that the story line is not done the best it can be. There’s so much fluff. There is no nitty gritty. And she tries to get into too many characters heads. NEVER do that, IMO. Or if you do decide which characters you want to focus on and make it clear when you are leaving the thoughts of character A to focus on Character B. This caused much confusion. There were secondary characters getting monologues and shit they didn’t deserve. See, this is why I tried to get into publishing.. I think I’d make a great editor… sorry, back to the program..
I’m not even going to give too much away, because well there isn’t anything to really give away. The things that happened between this book & the last were barely filled in. The characters don’t have any real emotion to express. It’s all so fluff. I don’t thinkm this book was written for people who read outside of the “True to the game” and “Candy Girls” books. I’m a quick reader and all, but I should not finish your novel in less than 3 hours. A day, sure that’s feasible, but 3 hours. I’d like my time & money back please. If I had known this was a Simon & Schuster book I wouldn’t have saved my money and hollered at my BFF.
But I still love you Wendy!!

Chrisette Michele’s new album Epiphany drops tomorrow, May 5th and I want you all to know what your getting into before you click purchase in iTunes. I loved her first album and I loved her when I saw her in concert, so I was really looking forward to this new cd. I can’t say I’m disappointed with her sophomore effort, but this album is very different than her first one, and that isn’t a bad thing.
I AM, her debut cd was, in my opinion, full of positive songs. I mean I loved Be Ok, Let’s Rock, Like a Dream, Is this the way, and Good Girl. There weren’t too many songs that made you think of relationships/men in a bad way and I really thoroughly enjoyed it. But this cd, I feel has a more gloomy vibe. From the opening track, Epiphany you notice the difference in the attitude of the singer. Of the 12 tracks (I know, I’m pissed it’s so short too) I’d say half of them are songs about break-ups and the such. I wonder what sort of personal dealings CM was going through.
Also, I feel like its noticeable that she didn’t do all the writing on this cd. I feel that the writing quality is drastically different than her first cd, I think the songs lack the total amount of soul that the first had. Not that they aren’t good, just not AS good. I need to find someone who bought an actual cd so I can look at the jacket to see who wrote what, but that’s not important.
My favorite songs on the album:
-Epiphany of course
-Porcelain doll
-Another One
-Notebook
-Mr. Right
Honorable mentions: Playin our song, What you do..
5/12 tracks isn’t bad at all. I love the fact that not every song sounds identical and the production is good. I’ve probably listened to this cd about 5x since it first came into my possession and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing her again in concert!
Overall .. 4/5
Oh.. and did I mention I think this girl is GORGEOUS?? Very beautiful girl!

.jpg "Beyonce Idris Ali Larter Obsessed")
****Warning: MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS!!! ****
Everyone went to see this movie to see how bad Beyonce’s acting would be, and any one who tells you differently is absolutely lying. Ok, maybe not everyone, because there were plenty of Beyonce stans in there going crazy, but definitely the majority. I would have simply waited for the bootleg DVD copy, but my friend is one of the latter so we had to go — on opening night at that. I wasn’t really happy with that, but I can say, I was pleasantly surprised with how mediocre her acting was. She wasn’t good, but she wasn’t overly horrible either. So that says a lot.
Plot: Truth be told, the plot wasn’t anything we haven’t seen before. Crazy woman sees unattainable (married) man and sets her sights on him. Of course, the girl needs very little leading on to know that she wants him. She fabricates a whole relationship in her head. Man doesn’t tell his wife, which makes the situation that much harder when the shit hits the fan. Its definitely a “Fatal Attraction.” And if I read one more comment about this movie being racist I’m going to die! Get over it, whats so wrong with showing a happy black couple? Why do black couples always have to be problem ridden? And yes, its very feasible to show a woman (who happens to be white) trying to get a man who is married. UGH get over it! ON with the review..
Now, I love me some Idris Elba, but I don’t feel like he was at his best in this role. He wasn’t strong when I wanted him to be strong. He yelled at the most inopportune moments. For the rest of the night I would randomly yell, “Bitch Breathe” because it was funny. He just didn’t know how to handle the sly temp. (Ali Larter). I will say that him & Beyonce had seemingly good on screen chemistry,although it was hard to believe Beyonce when she was being sex kittenish with him. The good thing was about him was that he went topless 2 times. I love a sexy, topless chocolate man.
Ali Larter needs to start eating again. She looked so much thinner than she did back in her Final Destination day. But she did the role of crazy very well. She knew who to ask the right questions to, and how to prey on peoples weaknesses, like the young babysitter. She was by far the most convincing character.
Bey. I’d say the worst thing about this film was the bad weave. Why? OF all the lace-fronts available did you find the one that looked like that? It reminded of the Beyonce weaves from the Survivor days. Her country accent was very strong at times. Or maybe it was her diction. It’s nothing that a GREAT acting coach can’t help you with. “You touched my chaild!!!” She did play the insecure role very well. She feared her husband would frolic around with yet another assistant since that’s how she came to be his wife. Idris had to spend time telling her that she was the only one for him. Funniest part was when the heckler behind me said, “I wonder if that’s what Jay is telling her now.” Instant laughs all over the theater.
The big ta-da was the fighting scene. And dammit this just took too long to get to. There was all this buildup and tension rising for a 3 minute fight scene. Where the hell did she learn to kick like that? Its hard to shed the image that we all have of Beyonce to see her doing this part believably. In order for me to believe this fighting Queen Bey would need to disappear off the face of the earth for about two years, and then come back doing a role like this.
And I was so ecstatic that there had been no Beyonce songs in this movie! That is until the very end when Smash Into you came on. But I guess she wasn’t going to go ALL movie without it. An that’s something you can do when you executive produce a movie. It was still longer than I expected to go without a song.
Overall, this is one of those good bad movies. The kind that makes you laugh when its not supposed to. I hope it doesn’t get a Razzie, because after all it did open at #1 in the box office with $28.5 million in sales! It’s not an F because I laughed but its definitely not an A.. it gets a C+, no Oscar nominations for this one!

My NY/NJ friends (and those in select other locations), I discovered a new dining establishment. Grand Lux Cafe. While its not new to everyone, its definitely new to me. And let me tell you, Oh my GOD, it was delicious. And we all know I’m a foodie so my approval means a lot! GLC is operated by the same folks as Cheesecake Factory, so if you enjoy CF, I’m sure you’ll love these people. The decor was very Cheesecake-esque, and the food equally yummy.
Their desserts are made to order, some taking up to 30 mins to prepare, so they suggest you order early. I had the upside down pineapple cake and my comrade (Kitty Bradshaw) had the New Orleans Beignets (I ate more of her dessert than mine!) and both were great. The Beignets come with three dipping sauces, but the strawberry & chocolate aren’t even worth your time. The best by far was the Jack Daniel’s sauce. When has anything with Jack Daniel’s in it tasted bad? The Beignet’s were like little Zeppoles covered in powdered sugar and bought to your table in a pretty basket. If Kitty wasn’t careful i was going to sneak her dessert home with me (sshhh don’t tell!). For our entrees we both had the Caramel Chicken, and let me tell you. I had a flavor explosion in my mouth. The flavors were phenomenal! There was chicken, mushrooms, which I hate, and red chili peppers. While it sounds like it might be heavy, it so wasn’t. The appetizer was CrispyShrimp & Chicken Thai rolls, with some dipping sauce that will make you go mmmm!
I’m telling you, this place was good. I wonder why there are so few. I’m getting hungry just telling you guys about it. Trust me this was good, Cleo recommends you see if there is one close to you & try them out. Prices aren’t even that steep. Caramel chicken was around $15 dollars and there were two servings on my plate, and we know its always good to be able to take some home. The only thing I wish I had tried was a drink. Next time I go, I will indulge in a Mimosa. I couldn’t this time because this recession has a foodista’s pockets burning 
Unfortunately in NJ there is only one GLC and its in Garden State Plaza all the way in Paramus (for my Garden State Parkway people, that’s exit 163) . And there is only one in New York, and its not even in Manhattan (how the hell did that happen?) its in Garden City, NY. Where the heck is that? Upstate or Long island? They need to bring more of these around (like we really need more eateries, but if they were all this good, it would force the bad ones out of business-sorry bad restaurant owners!).

I learned something new today, which is always great! Someone said they were in the mood to watch some tribbing-and I had no idea what that was. So, being on this eternal quest for knowledge I proceeded to google “tribbing”. Yes, google is wonderful and I don’t know how I survive a day without it. I can’t think of a day that goes by when I don’t google something… anything.. an image… a name.. a person…
But I digress I found out what tribbing was, or tribadism for the more formal. This is the act of two women bumping kitties!!! (I am going to be PG for the sake that I just don’t talk overly dirty and to say it with the other words would just be too vulgar for me). But yes, tribbing is a lesbian sex act that involves two women who lay, i guess, like scissors and rub their snatches on one another. I was shocked. But then was like oh.. well damn, how did they decide to name it tribadism, sounds like a typo on tribalism. Sssoooo… after I found out what it was, i tried to search for videos since I just had to see this act in progress. But no such luck, but there was site dedicated to “tribbing” but I don’t remember if the videos loaded and I know that there were no good valid links on Xtube, but whatever…
****UPDATE****
I found a video that demonstrates what Tribbing is.. it doesn’t tickle my fancy, but someone will like it!

Ok. I really tried to like The Dream cd. I enjoyed his first (and I would never say this to anyone) but I was waiting for his second cd. Man, am I disappointed. And I feel like the only one, since everyone is boasting about how great this cd is. But I’m sitting there like WHAT cd are THEY listening to? There are maybe like 1 or 2 songs I like, others I’m staring atwith confusion. What the hell is this Take you home to mama” crap? And Put it Down? Who says this on a song: ” If they ask you do I dance like Chris? Tell them No But as much rubbing as we do I could start a fire” I’m sorry, what? On the track Sweat it out“he really says (multiple times) “Call Latisha your beautician” WHY IS THAT A LYRIC! I’m extremely disappointed in this effort from him. But everyone else loves it, and his songs are great for when your in the club dancing. And we all know that to op the billboards these days the music doesn’t have to be good. Has anyone heard of the Stanky Leg (EXACTLY!) I also don’t feel his voice is that good, it’s decent at best. But the same can be said about R. Kelly, whose influence is very apparent on the cd. When R. Kelly did the duet Same Girl with Usher, Usher was singing him under the table. But R. Kelly is a great song writer (who should be writing from jail as he is a pedophile).
Also released on 3.10.2009 was J Holiday’s second cd, Round 2. Now, I kept I was going to give his first cd a listen, because I heard boy really has pipes on him. But he kinda just slipped through the cracks and I never got around to it. Lately I’d been hearing some interviews he did on the local radio stations, and he sounded like a real cool dude, so I said I’d really give Round 2 a listen. And I did. And I love it. I have already allotted time tomorrow to listen to the first effort because I feel like I’ve been missing out. On this cd he even has a socially conscious song, Homeless. How many singers out there are still doing socially aware songs? Holiday’s lead single is It’s Yours, which is a good solid song. However other songs I like here are Forever ain’t enough, Run into my arms, Lights go Out, and I don’t even mind the Rick Ross feature (the only on the album) on the song Wrong Lover. Oh, and the boy really does have some pipes on him. (Did anyone else wonder if that’s Brugal Dominican Rum surrounding J on his album cover? That’s some strong stuff!)
I think it all boils down to the passion for the music. When listening to The Dream’s cd, I didn’t feel anything. Well, lets not say anything, I felt his sense of following a formula and desire to be on top of the billboard charts. While listening to J Holiday, I knew he really is in this for the music. And for me, that is central as I believe that music is life. J Holiday’s cd is music for life and The Dream is the “Radio Killa” or the “R&B Gorilla” or “The American Dream” depending on which song it is. His conceit is annoying and such a turn off. Great songwriter, for others. For himself, he needs more work, more editing and other input. So that’s my verdict. If your in the record store, or browsing your iTunes support J Holiday’s effort before The Dreams.*
Check out Vibe Revolutions for their review of both CDs
*I felt really mean saying that, but hey, I like what I like right?

So, with all the movies I want to see I ended up at the movies on Saturday seeing my bloody valentine because my friend saw everything else. MBV is a 3-D Slasher film, however we weren’t able to see it in 3-d we had to settle for regular. If a movie is released in 3d all theaters should have to honor that. But I digress.. Here is my review, I will try not to spoil it for everyone… too much..
The only person I recognized fully in this was the guy Kerr Smith, who was on Dawson’s Creek and he was on Charmed, so he stood out. All the others had faces that looked familiar, but I couldn’t place. Although the main character was definitely sexy, his voice was yummy! LOL! Lots of gore in this movie, from the very beginning. This is where they give the initial action that leads to the course of events 10 years later. They definitely should have developed this more, spent maybe another 15 minutes on it or something. There are some loopholes here. Why did Harry Warren go biserk? What led to the initial Valentine’s Day Massacre? What Harry Warden did was insane! I was gripping my seat like ” Oh no he DIDN”T!” But I’d still like to know why, that loophole bothers me. But Slasher movies come with many loopholes, they are not known for seriously strong plots. Oh, did I mentions this was a remake, I didn’t know that until I IMDB’ed it, which lets you know of course that as with The Day the Earth Stood Still I did not see the original. Ok. So basically something tragic happens and fast forward ten years later something else tragic happens which is what the movie is about.
This film is Rated R… guess what, there is some full frontal nudity… I was SHOCKED. I was not expecting that, hell I hadn’t even heard of this movie until it was suggested. Homegirl fights the killer -NUDE! Why do all killers have to have a one piece uniform/mask-think Michael Myers in his button up or zip up thing… and think Jason in his overalls… why do they follow this formula. I mean, in this movie I guess it works because you aren’t sure who the killer is, but Jason & Mike have been killed like 42 thousand times… what gives?
OK, back to the review without giving too much up… Basically this film follows most of the standard slasher film rules-confused girl over who the killer is, lots of gore, twist at the end. But it works.. and it works well. I did not meet one person who saw it this weekend who said it was bad. Must be the 3d! Check it out and tell me what you thought of it..

Fierce, Fierce tranny mess! hahaha!
That’s from a SNL skit on Christian Sirano (sp) Project Runway winner. Anyway. I had the privilege over the weekend to hear an advance of the new Beyonce cd, I am…Sasha Fierce. I was not impressed, not in the least. And this is sad because I happen to love Beyonce and feel she has the potential to make great music. I didn’t add the advance to my iTunes, instead I am waiting on a retail copy of the deluxe edition, which even as a deluxe only has 16 tracks. I swear folk are jipping us.
Anyway, I decided to post this link for ppl to decide how they feel about two tracks “Diva” and “Video Phone” after I was doing a blog stroll and came across a cool blog called BlogXilla. I definitely enjoyed this new discovery and will be checking in from time to time, and heck maybe that can bring me more traffic. I love blog traffic, it makes me feel that its not all for naught (love the Sarah Palin reference). Back to topic.. “Diva” is supposed to be the female version of Lil Wayne’s “A Millie” and I just wish Beyonce would be the Queen she needs to be. REAL MUSIC!! UGH!!
Diva is to a similar beat as “A MIllie” and basically says that a Diva is the female version of a Hustla.. Now I firmly disagree with this because I thought being a Diva meant that you had a certain aura. She kinda has that “I know I’m a bad bitch vibe and you can’t compare”thing going on. And when I think of Hustla (with an “a” not an “er”) I think of someone who is grinding, doing what they need to do to get to where they need to be. For instance, someone who is working hard and going to school is hustling.. but they are not a HUSTLER, i.e. selling drugs on the street.
And “Video Phone” I’m just not sure what I think there.. I’ll get back to you on that..
Check out the songs here
