Nuptuals: Ring a Bell?

I'm finding that more and more people are exposing their lax attitudes toward the sanctity of marriage. If you know her, please beg IYANLA VANZANT to teach a class on it. Irv ain't the only one that needs to hear this.

FYI: TIVO Baisden After Dark on TV One. It'll be good for ya!


Happy Days Are Here Again!


"It's like a mouth full of joy"
- The lady on the Honey Bunches of Oats commercial

You should know by now that I am leading the bandwagon of fans of Jazmine Sullivan (Samora you're a close second **smiles**). This girl's voice is so refreshing, powerful, and controlled. In a world of skinny, exotic, almost can hold a note, dance more than I sing artists (sorry but it's true) she is definitely, dare I say it, the closest thing my generation has to Aretha and that's saying a whole heep of a lot.

Here is one of my favorite tracks by Jazmine. If this ain't Grammy material...
"In Love With Another Man"

Fancy Kitti Litter: Ode to the High Heel

Dior Diamante Heel Sandals



Aside from the fact that "I Decided" is a really good record and stays in rotation on my IPod, how bout a round of applause for Solange's shoe game? Inspired by her Drangon fly heels and in honor of the ever FANCY high heel, let's look at some wearable art, shall we?
***The Brand and Style is listed above each pic... ENJOY LADIES!

Lose Lips Sink Ships

... I ain't one to gossip so you ain't heard nothing from me. However,......

Why jump off a cliff before you've spread your wings? That's the same question a certain rapper possessing flesh colored facial hair should ask himself. Recently he decided to kill off 2/3's of his fan base by hopping on the radio and commenting on his preference in ladies. This wouldn't have been a problem had he not basically stated WHITE POWER. The green eyed bandit mentioned that he only messes with chicks that are lighter than him. Way to build your fan base....

In related news, the same rapper got his chain snatched and his ass handed to him outside of a sneaker shop on La Brea a couple weeks ago. Not to say the two correlate, but when you do wrong The Ghost of A Bitter B*tch will get you one way or another. DO BETTER SIR.

These guys aren't exactly "new", but drum roll please.....

New "Rack" Swing




Ok, if this picture doesn't make you hum, "I Got A Crush On Obama", I don't know what will. My furutre president graces the cover of Ebony Magazine this month in a tribute to Black Men. Other covers showcase: Denzel Washington, Samuel Jackson, Sean Carter, Muhammad Ali, Prince, Billy D Williams, and Marvin gaye.
In other Obama News:
Italian designer Donatella Versace has called the Illinois senator "the man of the moment", and dedicated her entire spring-summer 2009 menswear collection to him, reports British news source The Independent. Versace said she was creating a style for "a relaxed man who doesn't need to flex muscles to show he has power".

Please BARACK THE VOTE


Paper Chasin: LEAVE MOESHA ALONE


Ok, so we all assumed that Moesha and Q really had something going, but why is GROWN ASS Fredro commenting on falacio from Brandy? I'm almost embarassed for giving this any kind of attention, but I thought I'd give Q, opps Fredro, his last 60 seconds in his 15 minutes. B Rock - much respect!


My New Crack: RnB Live



Aaron Hall


Me and Marsha of Floetry

Aight, so I'm like a kid in a candy store at a concert; so many sounds to hear, so many songs to sing, so many dance moves to do, so little time. Needless to say I lost my mind at RnB Live last week. I don't care what you thought you knew about me; if you didn't know that live music is my fix, you know NOTHING! There I was, planning a lunch date with Marsha when a producer we'll call "David" walks in. Again, I don't care what you believe. That muscle bound man is somthin vicious. Anywho, Joe gets on stage and before you know it Marsha's gone and "David" and I are dancing the night away. Add Aaron hall, Keyshia Cole, Mario, Anthony Hamilton, and Marsha singing "SAY YES" (my favorite Floetry song of all time) and you get Ty scratchin' her neck the next day in anticipation of another trip to the candy store, i.e. RnB Live Hollywood.



Anthony Hamilton
