Reality Recap 7/31

Project Runway
Project Runway started this week. So far I am not impressed. No one stood out to me. I am happy it is back and that Michael is back. Hopefully is will grace us with is presence the whole season this time. He was missed last season.  Hope this season is more interesting than last because the people were super boring last season. Bring on the DRAMA!

Design Star

The designers had to design an apartment in one of "The Donald's" buildings.  The loft was supposed to come across as being high end, luxury and represent the Trump Brand.  The apartment is in the heart of Manhattan with a beautiful view. One of the team bombed the challenge. The bathroom was blue, the bed was missing a mattress and the view was covered up by curtains that were not able to be opened. Womp Womp...epic fail. This caused two of the designers to go home. Bye Bye Tom and Stacey.


So You Think You Can Dance

Jose and Billy went home....I think that Jose should have been gone but his personality kept him there.  He was cute but not really that spectacular in all of the genres. Billy was pretty good but not one of my favs. Let's go Kent and Adechike.


Jersey Shore

*Fist Pump*  So excited to see the new season of Jersey Shore.  I was counting down the days until it came on. I can't believe that Angelina is back...She is a dramatic whore. I want J-Woww to tell her off. "The Situation" is my ultimate fav. Ronnie is being a jerk this season.  I didn't really care for him last season but the way he is treating Sammie is ridiculous. Kissing multiple chicks will not get him anywhere but in a clinic. He needs to get it together.  Can't wait to see what happens next week.


I hope this gets you caught up on who got kicked off of shows and what is going on. Give me feedback or if there are other shows you want to get updates on please let me know. TTYS

Beauty Experiment # 3 Lash Extensions

Hey ladies

It has been a while. Boy have I missed blogging. Unfortunately my laptop was stolen and I haven't had time to go anywhere to blog, but I'm Back!!!  You know I like to try new things and tell everyone about it. This time I wanted to try eye lash extensions. I am always on Facebook looking for makeup artists, photographers, stylists etc so I came across Dacia Whiteside of Peacock Pro. She is a makeup artist/ lash extensionist. After my week of being robbed and car being hit I decided that I will do something that will make me feel glamorous and beautiful. I hit her up on email to schedule an appointment. With the confirmation I received a long list of things to be aware of, which was overwhelming.  I started to back out but I didn't.

Once at my appointment, she reminded me of the important things not to do during the process. The main thing was do NOT open your eyes. You would think that would be easy, but since it is expressed not to so much, my eyes wanted to open. I had to concentrate on keeping them closed. Once she started the process it was easier to do. The process took a total of two hours. But it was two hours well worth it. I will be going back in three weeks for my fill in. This might be something I have to keep up. I don't have to wear any mascara. I just put on my foundation and keep it moving. This was a very interesting but relaxing experience. I suggest everyone try it once. Below are some pics of what my lashes look like now.

My Brian Atwood Picks

I love shoes, so I wanted to find a designer that some might not have heard of. Brian Atwood is a designer and I love his shoes. I currently do not own a pair but would love to. I picked my top 4 from the spring / summer 2010 collection. To see more visit the website http://www.brianatwood.com/

SYTYCD Upset

23 year old Alex Wong was eliminated yesterday evening not because of his lack of skills but because he is currently injured.Wong was one of my favorites and was extremely talented. He has been superb in every genre that he has attempted to do. I really hope that he returns next year to compete because I really truly think that he would have won this year's competition. Now I am voting for Adechike to win.

Nordstrom Rack vs. Saks Off 5th

This weekend I had my first definitely not my last shopping experience at Saks Off 5th. Of course I am here to bring my thoughts to you on my wonderful experience. I went solely to find some designer sunglasses for the low but also looked around at the clothes and shoes. With me was my shopping friend to cover parts of the store I didn't make it to. Anywhoo...I found some lovely Dior glasses that got purchased but everything else seemed a little too high to be in a 4th of July sale.

Having going to both of the clearance version of the high end stores I would have to say that Nordstrom Rack has the better deals. I have been to the one in Cincinnati and in Chicago. The Saks Off 5th had some deals for the items to be designer labels but the prices were not marked down as much as Nordstrom Rack marks them. The Off 5th that I went to was also in Cincinnati. I will continue to go to both stores but if you want the better deals go to Nordstrom Rack. Happy Saving.

Chris Brown - Deuces [OFFICIAL VIDEO] feat. Tyga & Kevin McCall

My favorite song right now.

Nicki are you Kim or Gaga...Please get your own identity

With all of the hype going on between Nicki and Lil Kim I figured I could post some pics and have the people decide. The younger generation do not really know about Lil Kim and how she was our Black Barbie long ago before Nicki ever thought of being a Black Barbie. Nicki is so hyped up now by the younger generation but she is not original. Not only that she doesn't rap about anything. Lil Kim was a lyricist. Poor Nicki I don't know whether to blame her stylist or herself for stealing the style of Lil Kim and Lady Gaga. Young people you be the judge...do you think Nicki is a Swagger Jacker?

Gaga inspired looks

I do not take any credit for any of the pictures shown above.

BET Awards 2010 Favs

I know I am late but I have been stressed. Today I wanted to relieve some stress and check out something that I love so much...FASHION. I took a look at the red carpet looks from the BET awards on http://www.concreteloop.com/ and http://www.bet.com/.  I could not find a picture of Soulja Boy but he was also one of my favorites.

The WTF moment of the night goes too...drum roll please.....Nicki Minaj

All pictures came from www.concreteloop.com , www.bet.com , www.treysongz.com please check out those sites for more pictures.

Gucci Gucci Goo

I am proud to announce via People magazine that Gucci will be launching a line for children. There will be bibs available for babies 0-24 months and the clothes will be for children between the ages of 2-8 years old. You will be able to purchase the items on http://www.gucci.com/, and select luxury boutiques in November. Please check it out and let me know that you think.  Here is the link to the article http://celebritybabies.people.com/2010/07/02/gucci-gucci-goo-the-italian-fashion-house-launches-kids-line/.  Here is one of the pictures from the article.

SYTYCD Recap Week Ending 7/2

I had to start with my favorite routine of the night. Check out the video above.

Now down to business. As you see my favorite routine was Alex Wong and Twitch. I also liked Adechike's performance. So after watching all of the performances if they based it off of technique Jose would have gone home long time ago because he is only good in his genre. But I love his personality and I guess America does also. I am not a fan of any of the women this season. I think all of the men are more talented. With that said Melinda was sent home to hang up her tap shoes. We shall see what next week brings us.
