So, anyone who knows me knows that my two favorite things are sales .. and even bigger sales. I believe that anything is worth buying on sale and if you really want something you should try to find it for cheap. Only true emergencies call for full price purchases... Does this make me cheap or fiscally responsible? I'm still working that one out. If you were to ever meet me (for those who haven't) and perhaps tell me that "Oh, those shoes are cute!!" I might respond, "Yeess!! and I got them on sale @ _____ store" It's a bad habit. I can't help it and it won't stop soon. What that also means is that I spend plenty of time hitting the pavement (aka the internets) searching for good…
With every new phenomenon in social networking, researchers are always trying to figure out, or categorize the users and dynamics of why and how it works. The latest internet craze, Twitter is no exception. Friends, who are not users, are always asking me, "What is the point?" or "How does it work?" and I always find it hard to explain. Twitter is something you have to use to understand and see why people like it. This study, done by Professors Naaman and Boase of Rutgers University (RU Rah Rah!!) did a study that revealed their are 2 types of Twitter users: Meformers or Informers. It's obvious what an Informer is: They use their tweets to post messages that contain information, like news links. Meformers post what they call "me now"…
I came across this wonderful list online yesterday about the most popular books being read on the NY subway. Now, I don't live in NY, but I do live a hop, skip & a jump away. Whenever I find myself in NY, and on the subway, I absolutely MUST have a book with me. There is nothing more awkward than being on the subway, with nothing to do, and looking around trying not to make eye contact with anyone. Eye contact is definitely a no-go! The Survey was taken in the Fall of 2009 and does reflect some of whats popular right now. I've only read a few books on this list, but some are on my To-Read list. Some are currently movies and some are not. One is written…
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoLurQ1fWMs I wouldn't say I was was eagerly awaiting Letoya Luckett's new cd, but I was looking forward to it. I enjoyed her first CD, and I'm the type who will go back for more if I was satisfied. Her first single, Not Anymore was pretty cool and catchy so I definitely wasn't led to believe it wouldn't be satisfying. So here's the official Cleo review of Letoya Luckett's Lady Love. First Listen to this CD I was not thoroughly enthused about it. However, I pressed on for the sake of research. When I thought of the title "Lady Love" I imagined a different perspective to what is like to be in love. Or someone who is schooling us non-lovers with her love wisdom, but it wasn't. Most of these…
Today I realized I'm a hand gesture-er when I talk . Or rather, I'm a gesticulator... It's the kind of gesticulation where as if I'm talking about passing me the salt shaker I demonstrate the movement that a salt shaker does. Or when i talk of blowing in the wind I make a hand gesture that (to me) means blowing away. It's a really odd quirk now that its been bought to my attention. Or when just talking about matters that don't have demonstrable gestures I move my hands a lot. I've caught myself interlocking my hands when trying to avoid using gestures at work, and it makes me very aware of my hands. I wanted to find out what this says about me as a person. Some have said…
HOT SHOE ALERT! Christian Dior is killing the Fall 2009 styles with these shoes. I love how the heel reminds me of the tusk shape. These were my favorite from the collection. I think I love the grey so much because I have so many black shoes. I love the bootie concept and the cutouts. While it may seem like a lot, I can imagine me rocking these: Black shirt, blue jeans, these shoes. H.O.T. After all, the key to rockin a shoe like this is to keep it simple so the shoe steals the spot light.While these won't make my wardrobe this fall, I will be searching for a close resemblence (aka department store knock-off). More can be found here: NEW Shoe Blog! I think I have new favorite…
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UDcBiw-Ock I have been scouring the internet for days trying to find the shoes Monica is wearing in this video. She is rocking them around the 1:30 point, and they are phenomenal. I see a super high heel with a platform. MUST HAVE! On one blog a commenter said they were by a brand called Marni, so I began a search for them, but came up with nothing. I may not be able to afford them, but the shoe whore inside me needs to know who made them & how much they cost, can you help??? OH & I do like this song off Keyshia Cole's 3rd cd, A Different ME. Monica can blow and I can't wait for her CD. I've always been a Mo fan...
Their is the timeless argument about men, women, and who pays for the date. Many women, myself included, feel a man should pay. Some men feel that women should pay. Especially in this age of Ms. Independent. Now, I work hard and I don't really care who knows it, but I'm not one of those women who boasts about how she has her own. In fact, every time I heard that song by Jamie Foxx, Fabolous, & Ne-yo I'd cringe when he said "she takes pride knowing she paid for it." Not that its a stupid bad thing but not everyone enjoys that. Personally I'm happier when I'm using something that was a gift, it makes me feel like someone loved me enough to buy me something they knew I'd…
(Thanks to Just Jared for the pic!) I saw some pictures of Beyonce rocking these shoes over the weekend looking just as great as she can. So I ran to my best friend Google to find out what the name of them were, and where could I find a cheap knock off them. They are the Louis Vuitton Spicy Sandal, and they are absolutely FAB! When I searched images of them, I also saw that my girl crush Amber Rose was rocking them in Paris with her john boy, Kanye West. I think she's wearing them well in this shot. I need to see the rest of the outfit for a total approval, but damn those shoes are HOT! Also seen in this shoe was Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham was…
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…
I don't even know how to approach this subject with care. There is no coy introduction that can be used. So let's just dive right into this stupidity: Two dumb asses decided it'd be cool to mix a saber saw and a sex toy for their pleasure. I don't know what made them think this is cool. I support sexual experimentation, but a power tool in your nether region? These 2 geniuses decided to attach the sex toy OVER the blade. Then, I'm assuming, he went to work down there. I'm guessing they wanted to get into a rhythm in foreplay without giving him carpal tunnel. There is no way anyone could convince me to do this and risk being scarred from sex forever! This is an EPIC Fail. I…
Last week I read a story about a man who discovered that his co-worker was actually his father. Can you believe that? Apparently Police Sgt. Chris Walker never knew who his father was, and this was constantly a source of discontent with him. It's kind of a classic story, wife & husband separate. She bangs new guy (this time a younger guy) and gets preggers. She then tells estranged husband that she's preggers and they get back together. All the while she secretly things separation fling guy is the father. One day Mother told Son that the man he thought was his father, on his birth certificate, wasn't really his father (this happens all the time believe it or not!). After finding this out Walker was obsessed with finding who…
(OK, maybe not EVER but this is bad) Baconnaise. Yes.. This is a bacon spread, from the folks who bought you bacon salt-which I didn't know existed either. Either way, apparently bitches love bacon... Fat bitches that is!!! NO, just kidding. I know people (skinny people) who love bacon. Like my friend, Friend A. Sometimes we go to Au Bon Pain and order salads. I always get the turkey medallion salad which happens to come with bacon. I kindly ask them to hold the bacon, since I don't eat the hog. She's like "No, give me your bacon. You can never have enough bacon." I disagree, because sometimes if you over load on bacon, turkey bacon for me, you can get a little nauseous. So anyway, I discovered Baconnaise from…
Ok.. here is my Inauguration coverage, and maybe the end of the ObamaRama that has been plaguing us for the past year or two. I am kind of happy that the election is over and the inauguration too. I am happy with the experience and am ready to actually see "CHANGE" in process. I know its not going to be tangible right now, but I'm tired of all the talk. I wish the Obama's the best of luck, and I really am super proud of having been able to witness this in my young life. So, Kitty over @ Kittybradshaw.com (thanks again for the tip!) told me about this letter making its net rounds from the Bush girls to the Obama girls. So I did my digging and found it…
What is wrong with TV? With Viacom in particular.. First they bombarded people with the Flavor Flav show, Flavor of Love. Then it was Rock of love, For the LOVE Of money. Fuck LOVE! OR at least the Viacom STD filled version of LOVE! I guess its really the production company, 51 minds productions fault, but damn Viacom keeps buying them! The next real chance at love (ha, look @ that!) is for Ray-J, you know, "ain't that Brandy's brother" Ray-J, and its called.... "For the Love of RAy-J. Yes, these folks who get paid the big money are so creative. They are getting paid millions of dollars while the people responsible for teaching our children. WTF! This festival of famewhoring begins on Feb 2nd.. Basically a bunch of random…
