I love Gold baby!

I love Gold baby!

Nails
One thing I happen to love is nail polish! I don't know when it came over me, but I do now. I've even taken my own nail polish with me to get manicures. My latest find: O.P.I Only Gold For Me top coat. When I first saw it in Sephora, I wasn't sure how I'd like it. but then I put a coat on over my electric blue nail polish and LOVED it. I immediately knew I wanted to go home and apply it over O.P.I's Black Onyx polish I had. The results: Here they are 2 days later, slightly chipped, but not as chipped as they usually are after 2 days. I'm sold. I even did my toes to match. I think this color is going to rock out…

Phenomenal, that’s me (and you too!)

Lifestyle
I put this on my other site as well, but I just had to double dip because well .. this is how I felt today ... I just kinda wanted to re-read this poem. I guess just an ode to awesomeness. Yup .. and that means you're awesome too! Phenomenal Woman - Maya Angelou Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.

FYI!! I’m getting published !!

Lifestyle
I am super excited to report this news.. Peep the following email I received just hours ago : We have received your submission for inclusion in EROS 369: An Anthology for Adults Vol. II. We are pleased to inform you that your submission will be included in this year's publication! Congratulations! -- This is excellent. I don't know if you remember but back in January I published ' My (non) New Year's Resolutions' and one of them was "2. Write more – not just here. Writing in general, which is to include short stories, poems, papers, whatever the heck strikes me. Music Guides me and words inspire me." I'm giddy. So many good things happening. If you build it they will come tight? Oh so when the book comes out…

‘Yeezy’s BACK!!!

Lifestyle
FYI: I adore Kanye West.  808's & Heartbreak no matter what you say is a GREAT album. He is showing some harcore emotions on that LP .. Anywho, 'Ye is back with his new track, 'POWER' .. I dig it .. but why would I not? I don't have a audio player plug-in so you'll have to head over HERE to Nah' Right to check it out... I can't wait  for his new project to come out. I don't like to listen to each track as the 'leak" ..I like to wait for the full experience. I know he would 'Never let me down' lol.. Word on the street is that Kanye & Amber broke up and he paid her some $$$ for her silence (aka a GAG order). Well,…

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…

Fashion Friday: 2.12.10: Did you Know??

Lifestyle
I just learned something new today:: BCBG Max Azria is named for the French phrase “bon chic, bon genre”—which means “good style, good attitude”—and is the lower-priced fashion arm of the company that includes Max Azria and Hervé Léger by Max Azria. Because I enjoy little pieces of random trivia I found this extremely interesting. I can now file it away to my room of useless facts. And here is something from the new BCBG Max Azria line: I love the color!

Fashion Friday: 2.5.10 – Pasquale Fabrizio

Fashionable
SO, apparently a girl really can have her glass slipper. It's just going to cost her 7,500 dollars!!!!!!! Pasquale Fabrizio, who is this UBER talented "shoe cobbler to the stars" has designed these glass slippers. I have never heard of Pasquale, probably since I'm not a star, but according to laweekly.com He once built a three-legged monster costume for two 300-pound wrestlers. He fashioned a steel brace for the shared third leg, so that one wrestler standing inside the suit wouldn’t crush the other’s foot. He built up the calves of Angelina Jolie’s Jimmy Choo boots in Mr. & Mrs. Smith to make them thigh-high, and he swapped out the heels — 80 pairs at a time — so she could run around comfortably during stunts. He duplicated Muhammad Ali’s…
