I didn't get to see all of ANTM last night, but I did get to catch the end and I must say, I was definitely surprised of the outcome. I was convinced shorty with the red hair was going home, but once again, Tyra and the rest of the panel pulled the rug out from under me. Kacey Leggett was sent home last night. As beautiful as she is, I guess she just didn't have what the judges were looking for. I can't say I was rooting for her, but, it was still a shock to see her go. I'm rooting for Ann, btw! Team Ann!! Woohoo!
In all my 25 years of living, I've never witnessed a bigger miracle than this. Thirty three miners trapped underground for 70 days and they all survived. After this, you can't tell me MY GOD ISN'T A GOOD GOD!
To read the story of the miners if you aren't familiar with it, click here.
Yeah, so I was just on Media Takeout and I read yesterday's top story talking about Kanye West not having any bottom row teeth. The pictures they posted does appear that KW doesn't have any, but for some reason, I just wasn't buying that shit. They mentioned that he got his top teeth replaced, but a man of his stature, why not get the bottom replaced? I mean, a man in the media need teeth right? I'm sure someone would've NOTICED it before now.
After reading the ridiculous post, I looked at some of the comments and of course people were talking all kinda shit about 'Ye, calling him Yuck Mouth and stuff. Like, are you fucking serious? You people seriously need to quit believing everything you fuckin READ especially on MTO. That particular post of 'Ye didn't sit right with me so I googled 'Ye and there are pictures showing him with bottom row teeth. I mean, is it that hard to GOOGLE something to see if it's true or not? No. Quit being fucking idiots! I'm not saying his bottom teeth can't be taken out, BUT, check out all pictures and not some that show him not showing his bottom teeth! Smh.
I saw this video on some media website like when it first came out back before I had my blog and I just came across it again and decided to post it. The main reason I watched it was because of Cadillac Kimberly. Yall know I loves me some CK! I loves me some Kandi too but she ain't fuckin with CK! Anyhoo, Kandi is in the video discussing some guy she had a fling with that didn't work out. And I just sat there and thought, YOU ALWAYS PICKING THE WORST MEN! Which brings me to question why do women who seemingly has it all, always pick the wrong men? What is wrong with us?! LOL. You noticed I said 'us', lol.
Yall know what? I wasn't even much going to do a post on this shit, I had my mind made up the first 30 seconds of the show, but FUCK IT, there's nothing else to do so I might as well GO IN! This post has definitely been inspired by..
I honestly do not even KNOW why I waste my time watching this hot atrocious ass mess but I think I do it more so to talk shit on Twitter bc it's fun, lol. I'm not gonna say I'm not a fan of BET, but I barely watch it. Over the years it has gone downhill...BUT that's neither here nor there, let's get into the commentary!
As I am an avid visitor of WSHH, I've noticed that they keep entertaining this Raz B nonsense. They posted two videos of his yesterday and like I usually do, I skip over them, but the stillframe of Raz B in those damn glasses made me decide to view the video. He's in the video calling Eddie Long, Marques Houston, & Chris Stokes pedophiles and talking all this Free Mason, illuminati, I'm A Child of God nonsense. The whole time I'm laughing at him in those ridiculous glasses. Raz B, honey, let me be the first to tell you I DOUBT those glasses are going to trend, so retire them in the name of the Lord. The fashion world and my self thanks you in advance.
OAN, the second video, he's on the phone cursing out Marques Houston for something Omarion was supposedly doing...spreading rumors that he's bipolar. I'm not a doctor, nor do I know all the symptoms of being bipolar, but this video did NOT help Raz B's case. In his other videos, he's all holy and a man of God etc, in this video, he's cussing the hell out of Marques Houston's ass. Like, I totally do not get it! As I said in the beginning, this boy did not get many hugs as a child and it's obvious he wants someone to pay attention to him. In today's post he has a song/video on WSHH and all this just makes me wonder if he did all that so he could get REnoticed and people will pay attention to his music. I'm not buying that shit, homie. Take another break, then try again.
Last night's episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta was very unmemorable to me for some reason. I tried to pay attention as best I could, but it didn't work. Anything before Kandi's performance at Cynthia & her fiance's club, Uptown, is a little bit fuzzy as far as my memory is concerned. What I do remember about this performance was that everyone in the cast, even the extras, was in attendance but NOBODY was paying her any attention. I laughed bc I thought, in the second season, the only person to show was Lisa Wu Hartwell, and this season everyone shows, but no one's paying attention..well, lucky for Kandi, it was recorded so now I'm SURE they're watching.
As far as her song, I can't really remember it either, I just know it was a slow ballad and she had immense problems in hitting those high notes. She did mention earlier that after her group Xscape broke up she did a solo album but it didn't sell so well. Hopefully, this go round, it works in her favor. I'm rooting for you Kandi!!
I missed the 'make up' of Dwight & NeNe. My head was throbbing and I just couldn't take NeNe's loud, aggressive, overbearing tone any longer, especially after she got in her son's ass a bit earlier in the show (HEY! My memory's coming back, lol). From the tears and the regretful look on Dwight's face and the hugging, I put two and two together and figured they made up. Well, damn it, good for them!
As you can see, I'm going to have to tune in again now that I don't have that migraine anymore.
If you saw this post earlier, then you can see how my daughter wore her hair in two banded wave ponytails for school this morning. This afternoon, when she came home, it did NOT look like that. The heat poofed it out, losing all effect, so I had to do a hairstyle that was more effective.
Instead of rebanding her hair, I decided to put a donut in, using a sock of course, and do ponytails around it.
CLICK PHOTO TO ENLARGE
By looking at the photo, I'm sure this style is very self explanatory if you study it's technique. If you do not know how to do Three Twist ponytails, here's a video tutorial of how to do it...it's where I learned. As far as products are concerned, again, I used Just For Me! Soft & Beautiful 2-n-1 Conditioning Detangler and B&B Oil Moisturizer. And if you do not know how to make a sock bun aka 'donut' out of a sock, just cut the toe part off and outwardly roll the ends. It's hard to explain, here's a tutorial to show you how. Hope you like the hairstyle!
Yesterday, I was on WSHH and I came across a video of Taylor Royce basically being taken advantage of in a drunken state I suppose. The video featured Ms. Taylor naked and a man who was a FRIEND of hers recording himself having sex with her while she was passed out. The video has since been deleted (even though I wasn't going to post it here), but there's a message to be learned in all of this even if you aren't involved.
In this day in age with cameras, smart phones, and social network applications it only takes a second for your life to get ruined. Thirty seconds to record it, a minute to upload it, and one second for half a million people to view it. It's crazy. I think what this man did to her was beyond disgusting, especially since she considered him a FRIEND. That just really goes to show that you can't trust anyone these days, not even while you're sleeping. That's exactly how a downfall happens, when people catch you sleeping and in Ms. Taylor's case, literally. Here's a screencap of her reaction from all this via her Twitter page:
Click photo for enlargment.
I'm not even familiar with Ms. Taylor, nor have I saw her on VH1, this is the only time I've heard of her and my heart goes out to her. I've honestly never been in this situation, but like I said, it only takes a minute for it to happen to me or any other females. In situation like these, females have to be more smarter than the average bear. It doesn't matter who you're around, don't drink so much that you don't know what the fuck is going on. When men see an opportunity, they will take advantage of it. They don't think of how that person will feel or how it will make that person look, in that moment, they are 'the man.' This particular man is a fucking idiot and Karma is definitely a bitch. His dick wasn't even that big for him to be showing off anyway.
In conclusion, these days when you do something, you have to consider the consequences from EVERY ANGLE. No one is trustworthy these days, especially when you're in the media, they either want money or fame from it. A female shouldn't have gone through what Ms. Taylor went through and is going through especially without her consent. Be wise about your choices.
SUMMARY: Set in the projects of Brooklyn, New York, The Coldest Winter Ever is the story of Winter Santiaga (aptly named because she was born during one of New York's worst snowstorms), the rebellious, pampered teenage daughter of a notorious drug dealer. Ricky Santiaga, Winter's father, has attained substantial wealth through his illegal drug empire and lavishes his wife, Winter, and Winter's three younger sisters, Porsche, Lexus, and Mercedes, with the best things money can (and cannot) buy. Unknown to her father, Winter uses his hustling tricks to get whatever she wants. Winter's world is turned upside down on her 16th birthday, when her father suddenly decides to relocate his family and his growing business to Long Island, but she is determined not to sever ties with the old neighborhood.
Her life spirals downard when her mother is shot in the face by foes of her father. Shortly afterward, the FBI arrives at the Santiaga mansion while Winter is at a party, seizes the family's possessions, and sends the drug lord to prison. At this juncture Winter's sisters are placed in child custody, rather than in their unemployed mother's custody. Winter escapes by pretending to not be her parents’ daughter. Winter stays with a man just for his money for a while, but when his girlfriend comes back, Winter goes to live with an aunt. While with the Aunt, Winter's location is revealed, and she is turned over to the Bureau of Child Welfare. Winter's location was probably divulged by Natalie, a former friend of Winter's, who suspected that Winter was trying to date her boyfriend. While visiting her father in jail, she finds out that he had an infant son and was cheating on her mother, which tears her apart. Also, her father murdered someone while in jail...read more.
So if you read the entry Banded Waves Part I, you will get the before photos and steps of how I got to Part II. This morning, I took the bands out of my daughter's hair and was able to achieve the wave effect! I left her hair in two ponytails, because it was less hassle than letting her wear it down.
Don't mind my part, I can't part for CRAP...!
All in all, I believe it turned out extremely nice and I will be banding her hair from here on out! Thanks Beads, Braids, & Beyond
In this episode of Fantasia For Real, Fantasia's mom lost her white Shih Tzu while she was away on the road. As a surprise for her birthday, her manager got her two white Shih Tzus named 'Bonnie & Clyde.' Now, those aren't even my dogs and I can care less who takes care of them, but I think I had the same thoughts going through my head as Fantasia's mother. I'da took her to the side like, 'Who the hell you think bout to take care of them dogs?' Aside from that though, I thought it was a nice and thoughtful birthday gift being that she was so heartbroken over the lost of 'Diva.'
I was on Beads, Braids, & Beyond (as I usually am on the weekends) trying to get some kind of idea of how I'm going to style my daughter's hair when I came across this post. I really loved the outcome of it and decided to try it on my daughter. I, don't use the same products as Nikki, however, but my products are just as nice. I use Suave Almond & Shea Butter Shampoo, Just For Me! Soft & Beautiful 2-n-1 Conditioning Detangler and BB Pink Lotion Moisturizer.
$2.87
$2.50-3.00
$2.50-3.00
Since I just added the bands to her hair this morning, I doubt I would achieve the look featured on the post by tomorrow morning, but at least it'll be a bit stretched & wavy for school. Here are the steps I took to get the look in the picture.
I undid her hair (she had braids & beads previously) and washed her hair with Suave Almond & Shea Butter Shampoo. You guys, this shampoo smells sooooo good and it's only $2.87!
After I washed it, I wrapped in a towel and soaked up a bit of the water. While still wet, I parted her hair in sections and sprayed Just For Me! Soft & Beautiful 2-n-1 Conditioning Detangler and detangled her hair using my fingers first, a wide tooth comb, and then a brush. This process took about an hour giving the thickness and length of her hair.
Next, I parted her hair in the middle and separated it into two sections where I took the bands & put 7 bands each on both ponytails.
Hopefully, her hair comes out how I would like it tomorrow!!
Okay, so I peeped the video and found it funny that these TWO of all people are dissing each other. One is a groupie armadillo looking hoe and the other was born a man. Fucking comedy! But either way, I'm sure I'll be tuned into to the E-beef and what's to come via digital/web cameras.
You know what kills me on Sundays? People on Facebook. I never knew I had so many deacons, deaconesses, preachers, pastors, & evangelists on my friend's list. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing and I mean absolutely nothing wrong with praising Your God where you see fit, but I find it a bit disturbing to be talking so much shit throughout the week, clubbing on Saturday, and then have the audacity to be saved on Sundays. I just find it ridiculously hilarious.
And speaking of the situation, I feel like it's ridiculous to even be PRAYING on Facebook. Now, there are certain things that people say that can get a pass, but it's usually from the people who does it everyday versus just on Sundays. Some things people 'pray' about on Facebook should be done in the comfort of a church or in your own home. Idk MAYBE I'M WRONG, lol., but the fact that I made a similar update on FB about this topic and a lot of people agreed with me, so maybe not. There were a couple who got offended but you know what they say, 'a hit dog will holler!'
One day...back when Kat Stacks Bitchhhhh! was making a name for herself, I came across this video of Mr. Dollface Barbie expressing his views on the situation. My first thought was 'Jesus Christ, this boy is BEAUTIFUL!' LOL. After seeing the video, I closed out the link and I've been looking for his youtube page ever since. I finally found the shit last night. I haven't seen all his videos, bc he does have A LOT, but I've seen some and yes they are highly entertaining. Visit him!
Yall know what? I am so sick of going to these media outlet websites and seeing the SAME shit over and over, like for instance, RIHANNA and this red ass hair that looks a hot ass mess. I dubbed her 'RIHANNA MCDONALD' because Ronald McDonald is the first person I think of when I see that bright ass ball of fire on top of her head.
Let yall tell it, Rihanna is some kinda 'fashion guru', but I have yet to see her in anything that I would be caught dead in. And it's not even about the fact that maybe I can't afford what she wears..cuz believe me, if I had the money, I STILL wouldn't buy that shit. I'm cheap as hell, lol. This broad can wear a trash bag, which I believe she has worn a dress similar to one, and you mothafuckas praise it like she's FASHION GOD or some shit. Cut it out.
Even before the red hair, Rihanna has been talked about on damn near every 'celeb gossip' site since she got her ass beat...shoutout to Chris Brown. I personally don't see what the interest is about her. I'm not 'hating', I'm not throwing shade on her but hell she must be doing something right for yall to blog and post pictures about her every damn day. I know I'm not the only one who's sick of seeing this atrocious mess all the time, so with that said, this will be the FIRST & LAST time you see Rihanna on my site...
...unless Chris done beat her ass again or some more nudes done leaked. Now I'll post about that. =)
One day I went grocery shopping and my son was there accompanying me. We came down the frozen isle, equipped with different kinds of ice creams and popsicles, and he picks out these. He's never had them before, but I know he picked them because of the super heroes gracing the front box.
Later, I gave him one and decided to try one myself. I'm not a big fan of popsicles, I don't eat them a lot, so I have no idea why I even tried it, but I did. OH EM GEE, I absolutely fell in love. I think I've bought at least 3 or 4 more boxes since then, lol. They're so good I feel like the more I suck on them, the more I'm out on the streets fighting crime! I eat about 2-4 a day, lol. If you have kids or don't, I recommend you try them!!
'There comes a time in your life where times change, seasons change and it’s time for something new. On reality television shows, when it gets so popular and hot the desire and the need to be on top is always there. The first season of Real Housewives was very organic. What you see is what you got and that’s exactly how it happened. The second season we had the ratings, so you wanted to keep them there so the producers want to stir the pot a bit. Our ratings—we were killing everybody so it’s like we gotta stay on top so they had an idea of where they want their characters to go and they forget that we’re not characters in a show we’re real people living our lives. And sometimes people want to turn you into a character of your former self and I’m just not willing to perform or create something that isn’t there...' VIBE
You can read the rest of the interview when you click on the VIBE link. Yeah, yeah, yeah, your ass was boring, you wasn't saying all that mess before. HOLLA & good riddance!
But honestly though, as much as I kinda didn't like her in the second season, I still think she was better than that one new replacement..I can't even remember her damn name, mainly bc she got NO AIRPLAY on the first episode of TRHOA Season 3. I'm not talking about Phaedra, I'm talking about that skinny chick. Either way it go, it is what it is right?
I think this is the most idiotic video I have witnessed all week. I once saw my son jump in a 3ft pool without me and my instinct was to SAVE him, not see if he could survive. Wtf is wrong with some people?!
Dear Mr. Eddie Long,
I'm all for loving, I'm all for living, and I'm all for leading...but that 'like him' part done threw me off. You may be the 'spokesperson' for God, but I've NEVER heard of God being accused of the things that you have been accused of. Before I, or anyone judge, I KNOW you are human and still a man of the flesh, but this billboard is just ridiculous. You pick the WRONG time to put that shit up buddy. Maybe a better time would've been AFTER you've been cleared of these allegations that has been brought against you. The hell?
Sincerely,
My Butthole Is Closed
So last week, I came across this video on WSHH and out of boredom I clicked on it. Let's take a few minutes for you to watch the video if you haven't....okay, you're back now? Yeah, my thoughts exactly! Funny as hell right?! I about died of laughter! I went and checked her out on Youtube and ended up spending a couple of hours, maybe less, watching all 12 of her posted videos. I swear she's funny as hell, check her out!
You can also subscribe to her Youtube page and follow her on Twitter!
I just wrote that in honor of the children & teens who get bullied because of who they are or what they are. Bullying is becoming so bad that kids feel they have no way out but to kill themselves and that is so ridiculous. I'm sure we've all been the subject of some school bullying but it was never to the point to where we'd want to kill ourselves. Some people can't take 'criticism' and harsh words thrown at them, especially everyday. Do bullies even take the time out to see how this would make them feel if they were in the other person's shoes? No.
Bullying doesn't make you look cool, it doesn't make you more popular, it just makes you look like maybe you can't handle the person that you are that's why you have to take it out on someone else. The choices you make doesn't affect you, it affects everyone. Whether your children are being bullied or are the ones doing the bullying, at some point the PARENTS are going to have to step in and do something about it. Talk to your children about this, because this is a serious matter that just keeps getting swept under the rug. Nobody likes to be picked on and no one likes to be talked about in a negative light, so before your children start, nip it in the bud right now.
I was googling (one of my favorite pasttimes--don't judge me) something, as I usually do, and accidentally stumbled across this STUNNING piece of artwork. I just sat there for a few minutes and stared at this painting like, 'WOW!' It's strikingly beautiful. If I was to see this woman on the street, I would stare at her with my mouth slightly agape.
One of my favorite things to do is visit museums, so it's always visually pleasing to witness great artwork and photography. Things like that rock my socks & I can't help but SMILE! I'll give the artist two thumbs up and a wet, sloppy kiss for stopping my heart for a full minute.
I have to admit that Jennifer Hudson looks absolutely amazing at this size. I'm not sure what her size is in this photo, but it looks good on her. I'm nowhere near obese or chubby or what have you, but she does inspire me to go on a diet. Well, not so much a diet, but to be healthy & in shape. I'm a junk food addict, greasy foods addicts, soda drinking addict....I'm sure you get my gist and I, regardless of having two kids, still think I look good. However, on the inside, I feel like a 50 year old woman. I've been outran by a girl twice my size. I'm not in shape at ALL and that's sad. I probably couldn't climb a flight of stairs without having to catch my breath.
A lot of people think just because a person is not of 'normal' size that they're not healthy, not in shape, not 'living/eating right.' I'm living PROOF that you do not have to be a size 20 to be out of shape. I don't excercise at all, but somehow still manage to remain under 130lbs. So as I was saying, Jennifer Hudson is an inspiration for me not to lose weight, but to realize the importance of being healthy. It takes a lot of motivation to begin though. I JUST WISH POPEYES WOULD STOP MAKING THAT GOOD ASS FRIED CHICKEN!
I just wanted to take a few minutes to blog about this website Beads, Braids, & Beyond. I absolutely LOVE this site. The webblogger, Nikki, focuses on hairstyles for biracial children, HOWEVER, these hairstyles can be for any child. I used to have so much trouble thinking of ways to do my daughter's hair, because she is biracial and it's hard to think of ways to do something with her hair since she has a lot of it!
Not only does Ms. Nikki blog & post pictures of her daughter's hairstyles, she takes the time out to explain the products she use & how to create the hairstyle as well. You won't find many people who does that, will you? She also has contests and giveaways and spotlights for her viewers and followers to show their 'hair creations' as well! If you're like me and not 'creative' when it comes to doing your child's hair, I suggest you visit this website.
She also has a Twitter and a Facebook as well. If you're feeling shy about putting your creations on her website, you can simply upload your photos to your Facebook & tag Beads, Braids, & Beyond in the picture and it will show on her Facebook page for the people on her friend's list to view. Her website is an amazing inspiration to me and I can't express how much my daughter & I love it! Thanks Ms. Nikki!
Here are a few examples of hairstyles that were inspired by Ms. Nikki & a few of her other viewers:
I just spent the last two hours on Youtube watching this whole Keys The Problem/Nicki Minaj/Ms. Hustle diss shit. Whatever they had going on was just that..WHATEVER, but what got me was the fan response videos. I see right now in 2010 how FANS don't know how to stay in a FANS place. It's one thing to blog speaking your opinion on the situation and it's another to make a video about the situation, but to take the EXTRA time out of your lives to sit in your 'domain' and think of lyrics and shit to diss whoever is dissing your favorite artist, like are you serious?
You bitches don't know how to sit back and be fans? How the fuck you go from FAN to RAPPER in two point 5 seconds? That's some funny shit. Everybody can't be a leader, that's why the majority of the people are followers. Everybody can't be rappers, that's why the majority of the people SHOULD be fans. You read a Dr. Seuss book and figured, hey if this Cat In The Hat motherfucker can rhyme two simple words together and make a book & a living from it, so can I. NO!!! Stay in your PLACE! If it was intended for everyone to have the same career, the 'come up' would be easy as hell. So easy a mothafuckin caveman can do it.
Like, I was just really watching these videos laughing at this idiotic bitches. Yo, but what got me the most how they pointed out that Keys/Ms Hustle had all this time on their hands to make diss videos/tracks talking all kinda nonsense about Nicki Minaj, YET they just took a whole day to put a few bars together, another day to rap that shit on a video and make sure it was PERFECT, and a few minutes to upload that shit. How HYPOCRITICAL can one dumb bitch be? You can't be a pot going around calling the kettle black. FOH!
At the end of the day, I understand you being fans and taking up for your favorite artists and all. But don't be so dumb as to go through all that shit when in reality your favorite artists are eating from the money you provide to them. Be smart about the situation before you look like an idiot. IJS.
A lot of people love Edward & Bella as a couple, a lot of people think Jacob & Bella should be a couple, but my favorite couple of the Saga by far is Alice & Jasper. They are sooooo adorable to me. The way they interact with each other, the way they look at one another, the way they're always holding hands...I effin LOVE IT!! These two make my heart skip a beat and I want the love they portray in the film. Sighs.
So, The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 3, premieres tomorrow, October 4th @ 9pm and I admit I'm anxious to see all the new weave and what not. I've read that Lisa Hartwell has been kicked off the show for the new season and replaced with Phaedra Parks, a lawyer who's married to a felon (where they do that at?). But fuck all that, I wanna know who that tankhead bitch in the purple dress is...and no I ain't talkin bout Kandi or Sheree, lol.
Hello, hello, hello! I'm not even sure how to reintroduce myself being that I'm not new to this, BUT, I have been away from awhile. Not even sure what direction I want to go with this blog just yet, but for the moment, I think I'll just wing it until I get some kinda of groove going. If you've noticed, I go by the alias of London B. Ridges. Aye, I thought that shit was clever myself. If you don't like it, fuck off, LOL. Read my 'About Me', I got a little theme song as well.
Anyways, I know for my blog I will be giving out opinions on whatever situation, maybe post some videos and pictures of my everyday life as well. We shall see though. I do hope you guys enjoy my posts and visit me on the regular!! Ciao!
