Minor Dilemma..

You know how everyone tries to bring in the New Year with a bang (no pun intended) well I don't necessarily want to go on the extreme of things, but I do want to switch it up a little. The picture on the left is the current hairstyle I have now, and the one on the right is what I had about 4 months ago. So the questions remains: should I go back to kinky curls, or stay with the straight and wavy? I'm a little biased, because I kinda miss the curls, but then again, if it aint broke, don't fix it. What do ya'll think?

Happy Thanksgiving!



Happy Thanksgiving! Hope everyone is enjoying this holiday and taking time out to appreciate the little things in life and be thankful for them. I may not have it all, but I'm thankful for what I got. Giving thanks to the One above for this day - Revelation 11:17 says it all :)

Vintage Obama


Soooo, I came across some vintage photos of Obama and was so intrigued by his simple yet attractive appeal. Maybe it's just me, but I find something very attractive about this man. He was about 20 years old in these photos, and I could see myself double-taking if he passed by looking like this. Maybe I got a thing for that old school look *Kanye shrug*

HELL to the NO! Funny how white people tan and black people bleach their skin, as if there's this median tone we're all trying to reach. As if being on either extreme of the spectrum is so bad. As if skin tone was still the determining factor in a person's success? But my goodness, what is this madness going on here? I have so many questions, but so little answers! Did he inherit Michael Jackson's cosmetics? Does he classify himself as white? Does this mean he now has good credit? (kidding.. ) But in all seriousness, you don't get like this overnight, why didn't his family/close friends stop him while it got out of hand? This is obviously an addiction, because he stated there was no medical inclination to this insanity. While denying a skin condition, he claims that he "has used a cream on his face in order to get rid of damaged skin which he acquired due to the years of sun exposure in afternoon baseball games." And to add fuel to the fire, he went ahead and got a played-out S curl; if that don't mean rock bottom, I don't know what does! Smh, lost another one Bob.

I experimented with cargo/dickies at first

I thought black shorts worked better

The bandana was a nice touch too

I thought the glasses were cute too, lol


Finally my masterpiece was done ;-)

One thing I loved about this "costume" is that i knew nobody else would have it. I love being different and doing things that make people think "wow, that was creative." I pride myself in being an innovator and this was just another one of my concoctions. I turned a trashy occupation to a sexy profession, lol. What were yall for Halloween?

Trey Songz Promo & Album Review

As if this blog post needs an introduction.. Never have I seen a better looking photo of Trey Songz in all his glory. This man epitomizes the tall, dark, & handsome man we all dream about but realistically never encounter. Whether or not his muscles depicted in the picture are overemphasized through photoshop and visual tweaks or not, I could care less. Women wear make-up, let men have their exaggerated triceps dammit! Lol
As for his highly anticipated album "Ready" I have yet to give it a spin (although I guarantee I've already downloaded about 7 of the songs on there from previous leaks). I am, however, hearing mixed reviews about it, and how his mixtape superseded the success his album was said to have. Anticipation is still my sh*t though!

Which do you prefer to listen to?

One of the many ways to alter and beautify a photo is to color splash it. In other words, put the picture on a black & white scaled frame while leaving out a few distinctive and loud color(s) to put emphasis on that particular object in the picture or view it in another perspective. Here are some greatly edited colorsplashed flicks.. enjoy!

My Home Away From Home...




As many years as I've had to travel (for basketball) and do the whole packing process; i swear it gets harder every time! From experience, I've learned it's always better to over pack than under pack.. so i tend to get a little suitcase-happy and throw just about everything i own in there *side eye*



I'm finally happily settled & moved into my apartment for college (i'm a sophomore). And to even start with how long it took to unpack my 5 suitcases, 7 boxes (from storage), and various miscellaneous items, uggh.. this process took much time, patience, and gospel mixed CDs to keep me sane. Lol.. this week has been crazy. I'm an Orientation Leader for the freshmen on my campus and these youngins are giving me premature grey hairs.. smh, thank God for the stipend :)

Reader Question: What's one thing you felt necessary to bring one year, but ended up never using it?

Don't you just love how the NBA season is taking its sweet time to come around again? I don't think I've ever sat through more than 5 minutes of a summer sports center episode because it's all centered around baseball, golf, and hockey. Usually those 5 minutes that I do watch are because of NBA trade updates. Anywho, a lot of you guys I'm sure have heard the buzz and seen the video of LeBron gettin dunked on (which in actuality, wasn't that big of a deal)

RANDOM as HELL; but these shoes are the sh%#! Look me in my eyes and tell me to my face that you wouldn't rock the living piss outta these! (excuse my hyperboles) It was just love at first sight. This special MVP edition of his Nike Zoom LeBron VI shoes were worn against the Atlanta Hawks in Game One of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Pre-gaming never looked so good; but now to the juicy stuff..

In a recent (August 6th) interview, he tackled some of the buzzing topics circulating his name:
When asked about not shaking hands after the Game 6 loss vs. the Magic or speaking to the media (which the NBA later fined him for) he said:
"I would have [talked with] the media. Looking back on it, without you guys, there's no LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Tiger Woods or no Peyton Manning without the media. Shaking hands is not a big deal to me, it's not being a sore loser; it's moving on."

" I could see why people were talking about [walking off] because your job [the media] starts when mine ends. But as far as the dunk or whatever car I'm driving, some things you shouldn't comment on and some things you should."

When asked about his alleged confiscation of the dunk tape he said:

" I never told anyone to confiscate any tapes. Nike has a no- videotape policy at pickup games. Now that LeBron is involved, it's blown up. It's a play that happens in basketball all the time. You can go on YouTube and see me being dunked on by a lot of guys. I like to call myself a shot-blocker, and [getting dunked on] tends to happen."

Whether or not that clears anything up for you, the man has finally spoken. Being a fan regardless, I'm not gonna let a couple incidents coincide with his reputation as arguably the greatest in the league (as of now). Although your off court actions speak just as loud as your on court ones, let's just say his turnover ratio is a lil high right now.. but I see him on the rebound to a great season in no time!

Ci(hair)a at it again..

Now being a HUGE fan of Ciara's dancing music, i tried to stay as open-minded as possible when i first heard of this wig hair-cut. Not gonna lie, it took me a few pictures and some reminiscent Ciara songs (Get Up, 1 2 Step, Oh) to get used to this hair, but after some deep consideration, i think i kinda DIG IT! It's new, it's different, and it complements her manly feminine features. She's one of the few that can rock the bodacious weaves, as well as a short bob. Pssh go head girl! Somewhere in a dark, lonely corner, Keri Hilson is contemplating her next move.. lol

Here she is with newly found BFF Kim Kardashian, who might i add, is looking stunning as well.  Anyways, thought I'd post the pictures i had done a while back from the transformation of The Evolution of Ciara's Hair - as her album suggests.. she has definitely been through her ups & downs in her music hair career (as you can see by the first picture) but she's come a long way.. so i applaud her *crowd applauds in unison* ENJOY!

Naturally, my initial reaction to this was like 'seriously, u can only rock so many funky outfits & hair-do's before you start getting outta hand'.  Beside the fact that Rihanna will indefinitely look good with whatever hair she rocks (even an Amber Rose if she wanted) I still don't see the purpose in this.. i doubt this was her publicist's move, because Rihanna got that i dont give a f*ck swag (much like Cassie who also rocks the fresh out the womb hair) but damn.. what happens when she gets tired of this? You can't just weave this sh*t! I predict a bomb lace-front or wig in the near future *side eye* The reason for the title is because Britney had shaved her head completely bald during her meltdown, and Rihanna ain't too far from that (a bald head).. is she going thru some ish? ..ur thoughts?

Great Pictures, Unusual Angles

As we learned from the Obama post, pictures can be so deceiving, and when at a certain angle, can portray the image as something completely different. Out of the 100's i browsed, these were my favorite. Hope you enjoy.. and if you don't find these pictures as fascinating as i did, slap yourself you bitter MF'er! Lol =]
P.S- My favorite is the soccer picture!
