Diggy Simmons | Made You Look Freestyle HD www.beatsconnect.com
Who knew Diggy could rap....I always thought that he was going to end up being a fashion mogul. He had an original style when he dressed. I loved it. He is a decent rapper. I think he is going to make it. You can tell that he is a product of Pharrell. I can't wait to see if he comes out with a cd. I am interested in hearing his mixtape. Tell me what you think.

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.

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.

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.

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.

SYTYCD
For those of you who don't know what that stands for you are missing out. This show is So You Think You Can Dance. One of the most amazing shows on the air. So far my favorites are Kent (Ohio native), Alex and Adechike. Sorry ladies none of you have stood out to me yet but the season has just begun. I love the way the show brought back previous contestants to dance with the new contestants. Some of my favorites are back ..... Twitch, Ade, Pasha, Anya and Dominic.
Unfortunately tonight someone is getting kicked off. They will have to dance for their lives or it is back home they go. All of my people got enough votes tonight so I am not worried. Alexie was chosen to go home. To see more about the show please go to http://www.fox.com/dance/.

Reality Recap of the Week 6/16/10 part I
One of my favorite reality shows is back for its new season. The show I am talking about is Design Star. I love watching the creative ideas come to life in a room. This week the contestants were only given 500 dollars for the materials for their white room challenge and were told that they will be shopping at an Asian marketplace. The twist this week was that they were paired with another contestant and had to design the space to the liking of who their partner was. Each had time to ask questions to determine what the person would want in their room. Once at the market they were only given one hour to shop.
During the judges walk through one of the designers threw their partner under the bus. When interviewed she described a lounge type room but when the judges asked if she like the room that he created for her she said he missed her personality all together and that she was more Bohemian Chic. Unfortunately that was not what she told him and he was placed in the bottom six. The judges picked the six favorites and the bottom six have to wait it out.
This season something new is that the people who are in the bottom of the pack will have to create a taped walk through of their space to show their personality on television. So not only will they be judged on their room, they will be judged on their persentation of their room. I love this new element of the competition. In the end Nina won best room and Julie got sent home (good decision). Here are some of the pictures of the best rooms and then a picture of Julie's room, you will be able to see why she was sent home. To see the other's room please go to HGTV, http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv-design-star/show/index.html.

Say it with me ... PEDICURES ARE MY FRIEND!!!
Ok ladies if you are going to wear sandals this summer please treat yourself to a pedicure before you do. Cracked feet, chipped polish and peeling heels are not cute and should be illegal. If you know me you know that I absolutely hate to see clear polish on women's toe nails. Throw some type of color on them. Clear is for Men!!!! Be Bright, Bold, and Beautiful for these summer months. Try yellows, pinks, blues, greens of all shades. Stand out in the world of feet. If those colors are too much for you go classic with a french tip. Just make sure your feet are done. Last buy sandals in a half size bigger for comfort and so your feet do not hang off the front or back, because you WILL I repeat WILL get talked about if you are seen with your toes dangling off the front of you shoes. Now here are some of my favorite spots to get pedicures from in Columbus, Ohio and its surrounding areas:
Secret Nails
1706 N Hill Rd
Pickerington, Ohio
Pamper Me Nail Spa
5269 Gender Rd
Canal Winchester, Ohio
Regal Nails
6674 Winchester Blvd
Canal Winchester, Ohio
Happy Feet Pampering.
