Thank You

"More to Love" is driving me mad!

It seems like all the women on the show blame all there issues on weight. "I never had a boyfriend because I am fat" I never been on a date or prom because I am Fat" I always wanted to be in fashion but can't because I am fat"

Really, Ma? C'mon it is not because you are fat. If a man was saying "I am ugly" I am not tall enough" blah blah would you date him? Who wants to hear the negative things about the other person all the time!

I say suck it up and if you really are not happy try you best to change it. All my skinny friends have the same issues with men that I do as a thick girl. I know "I can get a man" keeping one well that is a different story :) but it is not because I am fat!!

I really don't want to sound full of myself but I love the why I look. I think and feel sexy. I do feel insecure sometimes don't get it twisted, But when I walk out most of the time I like the way I look and sometimes look hotter then all the skinny girls. LOL I don't have a issue with the lights on. (I don't know why I said that) My point is if you work with what you have know your body find out what works for you, you should not be so insecure. Don't be the fat girl in the corner wondering what people are saying. That is so not cute. It is not about being skinny it is about loving you all of you! It is about working with what you got. If a man does not want to be with you because you are fat, it has nothing to do with you! It is not about you or your thickness I promise. And I know a lot of men that love the thickness, hit me up and I will hook you up :)

Love the thickness<3

Get your vlog on!!

"Coco"

2008-07-31T13:43:00.000-07:00

Audrey Tautou is playing Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel in a film about the legendary fashion designer's life prior to her becoming famous. And because it only focuses on the first half of Chanel's life, producer Caroline Benjo describes it as not really a biopic. Although it will begin with Chanel's childhood, the plot will mainly follow her as a young woman, during the time she worked as a cabaret singer and became involved with the wealthy horse breeder Étienne Balsan and then the English polo player Arthur "Boy" Capel, both of whom were instrumental in leading her to a career in fashion.

JJ Lopez aka Soul Boy ’74 is one of my favorite SA dj's. He is so deep and knows his music history, not only is he a soulful, funky, too fresh, too kool, and most times too fly!!!:) but his energy is uplifting and encouraging he made my first fashion show happen back in da day. At one of his weekly spots at the time "the davenport". Lopez Dj sets are one of a kind what is super dope is that he has not sold out meaning every time you go see him spin you know what your getting into. I know I'm not going to hear some in da club type of ish!!! ( FYI I'm not hating just not my style). So if you like soul, funk, some house if you want to get funky with the dance floor check him out.

VIVA Mexico

2008-06-17T13:29:00.000-07:00

So, I skipped skool yesterday and watch the Trya show. The show was called “Five Ways to Simplify Your Life” Tyra meets a woman who, after traveling to a third world country, realized she could live luxe-free. This lady lives in a 84-sq.-foot house. Anyway this person does not have an up to date toilet so she uses a bucket so Trya is like "omg omg what if I eat Mexican food, would you let me use your restroom hehe"

Ok, so I am not sensitive at all when it comes to jokes like this.
but really Trya, "What kind of Mexican food you eating girl?" Why did you have to say "Mexican Food", when you know...MUSTARD GREENS, HAM HOCKS,BARBECUED PIGS FEET, PIGS FEET, HAM HOCKS! is what really does it!!! lol I joke, but really Trya really WHAT KIND OF MEXICAN FOOD YOU TALKING ABOUT??
I guess I am a bit sensitive but I love Mexican food, and Mexico and Mexican boys!!;)
OH, AND PS I LOVE LOVE SOME GREENS:)!

Having worked with him on so many projects I see the dedication and passion in his eyes, which gives me energy to achieve my dreams...ok ok I’ll stop kissing his a**. LOL
