case#21
forever21... the store we all know and love could be facing a possible lawsuit for copyright infringement in clothing design. apparently... Trovata was the one to take Forever to court this week.
personally, after looking at the last 3 runway shows for Trovata, i see no comparison between their classy, fresh, and semi-prep styles and the garrbage that can be purchased at forever21 but... we'll see how this all pans out.

youda youda best.
smh at
anyways... sometimes i find it hard for me to express exactly how i feel and what i think because it pulls me out of my comfort zone. to help cure this problem, i started up a blog so that i could put all of my wonderful thoughts into writing which is the easiest form of expression for me. recently, i have had brain overload due to a special someone who keeps my mind engaged and wondering ALL THE TIME... its all so hard for me to explain this amazing feeling i get thinking about this certain someone, but all i know is that its a wonderful feeling that i don't want to let go.
hopefully this post will help...
lately i've been smiling non-stop and everyone around me has noticed... i would like to attribute this partially to his wonderfulness ( in the words of Drake, "youda youda best")
this certain someone always asks me whats on my mind and i always have a hard time articulating everything... there is so much i want this person to know and so much i want to know in return.
pause... to avoid me having to keep typing certain someone, we will refer to this person as seinfeld.
ok, back to my blog post///
... Seinfeld is definitely someone special to me and thats why i'm always thinking about him. who else do you know that eats peas and applesauce mixed, loves Hannah Montana just as much as i do, and can school any and everyone on the basketball court???
sounds like a pretty amazing individual if i may say so myself...
Seinfeld
for a second, i had lost hope of creating a bond with someone who i was 100% satisfied with (emphasis on 100%) but Seinfeld has changed that
i lik3 how things are going between Seinfeld and I and I only hope that they continue to get better...
"no body can compare to you [boy] i swear, its only been a month but yet you're like my air. how can i ever breath if there is no air? for you i would give [a lot] just to let you know i care. they say don't settle down unless you think that [he] is the one. but you not in my life solidified is never fun." -Quest
just feeling like i'd rather be with you...
p.s. late night and that means one thing and one thing only... you on my mind.
- Drake on the radio... power 92.1 and 106.5 the beat to be specific. complete blasphemy.
- further more SMH at the fact that when they play "Best I Ever Had" they butcher the greatness of the song by replacing "you the fuckin best" with "youda youda best" [bahahhaha]

Seinfeld
- is the best at making up jokes [insert all the sarcasm in the world]
- makes the best chicken fajitas ever
- always makes me smile
- is the best wii fit partner ever
- always suggests GOOD music for me to discover
- and constantly keeps me wanting more ;-)

ftw and ftl
ftw:
- so after viewing the many pictures that have surfaced of rihanna and cassie, i got this somewhat strange/somewhat brilliant idea to get a new, fun piercing... too bad i'm terrified of the pain and i probably wouldn't keep it long... just like my belly button, cartilage, and seconds holes that no longer exist. anyways... just a thought that will vanish from my mind as soon as i finish t y p i n g this sentence. :D
- The Frog Princess: i heard about Disney working on their first animated film featuring a BLACK princess and i jumped for joy... i was a bit concerned at first about how she would be portrayed by Disney but after seeing the trailers on t.v. i must say that i'm pleased thus far... definitely going to check this out, after i see the freaking hannah montana movie thats been out forever lls.
- mother's day was a success... my 2 younger sisters, older brother, and i cooked dinner for my mother, grandmother, and greatgrandmother (and i did MOST of the work) and everything turned out well, except that jerk chicken my brother made which was definitely for the loss but i think all the MOMMYS in my life enjoyed... especially my grand-grandmother who was sipping champaign (smh).
- i love the fact that i failed all the tests in my cognitive psychology class, did okay on the final, and walked away with a C+ and what makes me even more happy is the fact that the rest of my grades are As and Bs... YAY ME!!! for studying and working hard and the place of torture also known as the University of Virginia.
- because ANTM, The Hills, and Desperate Housewives have been disappointing me lately, I decided to watch Gossip Girls tonight and it was rather entertaining... plus the cast's outfits were so cute.
- Ciara///if this chick doesn't stop swagger jacking the 2 baddest chicks in the game, Beyonce and Rihanna, i might scream... get your own style. theres nothing worse than a copy-cat and a weak imitation. every time i see her [well pictures and videos of her] i say to myself, "i definitely saw that same photo layout in a beyonce promotional ad or i definitely saw those types of shoes paired with a jacket like that on rihanna 2 weeks ago"
- speaking of copy-cats, Bravo's new TV show "THE RUNWAY" is the worst... its a wanna be Project Runway that will never compare. the hosts suck, the designers are sub-par, and the models are questionable. just shaking my head at the lack of creativity out nowadays...
- what is up with facebook and their desire to change and rearrange the website every three moments. its annoying.
- lookbook.nu: its my new obsession but i'm disappointed at the lack of colored people on the site... i know plenty of stylish people of color so people starting showcasing your style.
- hustle and flow is on MTV right now and this has got to be one of the worst movies ever.

just a bit of news...
Kate Moss is writing an autobiography: i just want to read about her battle with drugs.
Rumors flying around about Rihanna gracing an upcoming cover of Vogue: hopefully she won't be wearing that hideous space suit/tux she wore to the Met ball.
Victoria Beckham for new Armani underwear: guess shes following in the boo's footsteps.
Michelle Obama's dress at the Time 100 Gala was nothing less than the business: "fashion fades, but style remains"

yes and no
this weeks favs and not so favs....
FAVORITES
FAVORITES
- done with second year therefore i'm halfway there. such a good feeling.
- booked 3 shoots in one week... on the come-up, definitely ftw.
- Mos Def banned the use of the N-word in his upcoming film, Next Day Air (which happens to be a black comedy so this is sorta a big deal.... love it)
- the Met Gala tonight... can't wait to bring you news on what all the fashionistas were wearing
- a black girl won playmate of the year! although her hair always looks terrible...
- expressing feelings... natural high for the rest of the day :) i love when some one confirms what you already suspect. it makes life so much easier. [p.s. i know that you're reading this and i hope it makes you smile]
- the rain. i was happy went it rained the first couple of days because it helped washed some of the pollen away so that i could function like a normal person but its supposed to be raining for the rest of the week and i'm not looking forward to it. sun please come back out, i want to play.
- last nights episode of desperate housewives was a disappointment... 4 more episodes left in the season and thats all they could come up with. i thought for sure someone would get killed like always or some extra unexpected drama would go down but sadly, that wasn't the case.
- moved out of my apartment and i have soooo much stuff to organize... especially the tons of laundry i have to do. definitely not fun but i'll get it done.
- nas and kelis getting a divorce. so sad... i love them two together and i don't want them to part. what is the world coming to?
- thinking about changing my style... less girly, more edgy. what do you think?
