A Slice of reality pie

A Slice of reality pie

Mis-Adventures
So .. today over a nice delicious Portuguese BBQ meal me and a coworker had a discussion about women who are scandalous. Some of us often refer to them as "ain't shit" or "rachet" or just  plain "hoes". You know, women who make eye contact with a man and then blow him in the bathroom of the local VFW (yup women do this). So I said to this person, a wonderful woman, who is awesome. She's like my auntie. She's like 38 to my 25 and we just talk and she's great. But anyway, I said to her you know its women like this who make it so easy for guys to be disrespectful to women. It's women like this that are the reason that men can so easily not…

"Doe, a deer. A female Deer" [caption id="attachment_1990" align="aligncenter" width="538" caption="Image from TheDailyMail.co.uk"][/caption] Last night I had the opportunity to see * drumroll please* The Sound of Music for the FIRST time. Ever in life. The lovely ladies @KittyBradshaw, @Divasanddorks & @OsoChic and I settled in for an Anniversary showing @ the IMAX Theater on 34th street with free popcorn *yay*  ( FYI: Me & D&D popped our Sound of Music cherries together! ) We saw people dressed as Nuns and people were singing along (it was like Karaoke) and reciting the lines before they came out the mouths, and I loved every minute of it! I can see why this movie is one of the most popular musicals of all time, the songs are simplistically divine.   I knew songs…

Quotastical-ness by Bob Marley

Lifestyle
<3 someone shared with me .. and I believe that Sharing is Caring! I think it's sweet and it testifies to something I've told one of my homegirls ... EVERYONE has a past. You either want to accept it and move on.. or you don't.  You can't judge them for it or hold it against them.

My new TV crush: Das

Lifestyle
Because I'm a food network geek I have been eagerly anticipating the premiere of Next Food Network Star. And boy oh boy was it a good premiere.. mostly due to the eye candy that is Darrell , aka Das .. YUM-O! So I of course had to learn more about him. (you know, so when I casually bump into him on the streets of LA while I'm there for grad school) and I had to find the important things: He's 28 and lives in LA. and he was trained in the culinary arts at Atlanta Technical Insitute. Favorite books: Rich Dad, Poor Dad (Robert T. Kiyosaki), The Coldest Winter Ever (Sista Soulja) and Food Lover's Companion (Sharon Tyler Herbst and Rob Herbst)  -- well whaddaya know. I too enjoyed Coldest…

Fashion Friday: 5.21.10 : birthday edition

Fashion Friday: 5.21.10 : birthday edition

Fashionable
Today is my birthday .. so these are things on my birthday wish  list. In an ideal world,  I'd be rocking this stuff and not wishing about it. P!NK covered the cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine rocking this HOT dress. Of course when I saw it, I twitpic'd it and someone, I wanna say @Bleakey told me it was a Gucci dress. So I searched for the Spring & Summer Gucci collections and found the dress: I think I've previously blogged those Gucci shoes , but I think P!NK rocked the dress better than the model, the model gives this dress no shape. I want this dress. I love the edginess of it.

My first Michael Jackson impersonator show

Lifestyle
I've been AWOL lately because I took a trip to Boca Chica, Dominican Republic  to bask in the glorious sunshine! (I do have to live up to my name!) Anywho, the hotel I stayed at, Hotetur Dominican Bay (review to follow) held nightly shows, my favorite was their Michael Jackson show. They did an AWESOME job. I don't know if they hired people for this, or if these were every day employees, but they got a standing ovation from me. This is why Michael's legacy will not die. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3G0MSIHZg6M This was my first time using Window's MovieMaker.. and I was trying to do my best film job on my little Canon digital camera ..Enjoy!

Alice Smith concert @ HighLine Ballroom

Alice Smith concert @ HighLine Ballroom

Fashionable
Last week I had the great opportunity to go check out Alice Smith at Highline Ballroom in NYC. I've seen maybe about 3 concerts at Highline and its always a great time, I love it because tickets are almost always under 30 bucks. Anywho, I was GEEKED to see Alice Smith. Never heard of her? You need to. People kept asking me to describe her sound, and I just found the best way to say it was eclectic. It's r&b, bluesy, and jazzy all in one. She weaves many genres. Her voice is so dope to me. She has some range on her. I guess I'd say that if you like Amy Winehouse, you might like her. I dig her 100X more than Amy though, and I love Amy, so…

Are you Ready for True Blood?

Lifestyle
Thanks to dirtywhorelebrity.com for putting me on to this! HBO is pushing 12-week viral campaign that leads up to the show's third-season premiere on June 13. I knew about the June 13th premiere a few weeks ago. I remember tweeting it as SSSOOONN as I found out. I can't wait to see more of these ads they are pushing. You know I'm all things True Blood.

I’m still in music love w/ Kid Cudi

Lifestyle
FYI, I love Kid Cudi. I blogged about him when I first discovered him. And after a 2nd mixtape and an album I still rock out to him. I decided to re-blog about Cudi after seeing his 2nd video for his single, Pursuit of Happiness. The first video was eh, ok .. but this video is dope. I love the trippiness... Are you yay or nay on it? The original vid: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xzU9Qqdqww

Kelis, please step away from the scissors!

Lifestyle
I happen to one of the few American's who is into Kelis ... Or at least I used to be. I ADORED her album Kelis Was Here. In fact, many songs off that album are still getting heavy rotation. I actually BOUGHT that cd. I also happen to think Kelis is a really pretty woman. So this is why it pains me to see her looking so ... BAD these days!! It's like she is just trying wayyyy too hard to be unique. Look at these pics, this is the Kelis I like: (yes, I really took the time to create a collage of Kelis looks.. and I don't have Photoshop!!! I won't reveal how I made it happen lol)Kelis was HOT in these pics!! Exuding Sexxxyy!! But now.. just…

Cleo Reviews: Alice in Wonderland 2010

Lifestyle
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…

Something New . . .

Lifestyle
I like to get all my fashion and celebrity news in one spot. And when I'm not spending time on Dlisted laughing at people's fashion choices.. I'm searching for a good site that can combine the two for me without being too blah. What do I then discover? Stylecaster. This is important to me, because I don't have as much time to get all my news links on Twitter (it really is like that sometimes..) so I need to quickly peruse while I'm at work and some sites are now blocked from my job ( :( ) .  My guilty pleasure is Celebrity news and fashion. I enjoy my serious news and world news but sometimes you just need strict entertainment. Stylecaster has celebrity  news (like all the cute Academy…

All Grown up : Dakota Fanning

Lifestyle
I've had these pics for a little over a week, but I just was so busy! I am sharing them now! Look @ little Dakota Fanning! I can't believe she is so old now! I was shocked when I saw her in the New Moon (Twilight Trilogy) movie! And even in Secret Life of Bee's I couldn't believe how tall and dangly she'd gotten. But these pics, for Italian Vogue, she is so big! Big as in grown up. I feel so old when I watch people grow up. I'm sure people feel the same way when they see me. You hear it all the time "Yeah, I remember when you were yay high" LOL? Idk what is up with these Lourdes eyebrows, but I guess that's Italian fashion.. She…
