MOVIES SUGGESTIONS????

I got to the movies one a week. Sometimes I go in not knowing what I wanna watch , so I'll ask the cashier for a suggestion...Last week I figured I can give my readears some movies' suggestion also...
Now let me start with Limitless starring Bradley Cooper, Robert De Niro, and Abbie Cornish. After watching this movie, I really didnt get the hype behind it. Don't get me wrong, it's a decently made movie. But I think people were just curious to see it because of the story . We all know of the unhelpful and misleading myth about us using 10% of our brain. Well, imagine you can take a pill that can instantly give you access to 100% of your brain capacity. Instantly, your IQ is multiplied. This pill cost $800, but you get it for free...Genieus Idea, right???! Only problem is, it was poorly adapted to the big screen. Or maybe, a different actor would have played it better??? I f anything after watching it, yoy will really fantasize about that pill...S****, I know , I did!!! Especially the part where dude could speak any languages....
My advice to you is to is to check it out opn DVD rather than wasting your money on theater tickets.

Now the movies I liked recently are, The lincoln Lawyer , the Unknown, and Due date( now that was a funny movie!!!) ooh almost forgot , The Black Swan...and ooh True Grit

Now True Grit , was an interesting one. Because this was the first time I was really paying attention to the fashion. The movie`s costume designer( Mary Zophres) did not miss any detail. From the eye patch to the layering; I loved the little girl`s coat and the belt over it!!! I mean that, to me confirms that great trends always come back( the movie is a 1969 film), and belts over winter coats have been in vogue lately...
Well that is it for now, I`ll have another suggestion for you next week.
Stay blessed!!!!
That is all for now, I`ll

JAYZ'S DECODED

When I told my friend Debatista that she should buy Decoded for me her reply was " honey , what you need to do is go to the bookstore on your day off, sit down and read this book, because I won't buy it for you"...I thought ..mmmm HOW RUDE...but great idea.
So I'm standing in front of the bookshelves, going through the book, and there it was, a picturee of my favorite lady, Lauryn hill( I was like, real recognized real..:) ). Another reason,for me to have the book.
I'm a true Jay fan. I've always paid attention to his lyrics. The dude ability to play with words is crazy. For example recently he has been refering to BK in his lines, but the new BK he is talking about is not Brooklyn anymore, its Beyonce Knowles. Granted some of his lyrics had me believe he was a misogynist ( until he fell in love). Remember 99 Problems but a bitch ain't one?! Then he tried to mess with our head when he mentionned a police sniffer dog at one point in the same some...Get it?! bitch=dog?? Also ,in On To The Next One, he says," I'm not avirgin, I use my cojones", cojones is balls, nuts, in spanish. I can spend all day teaching you about Jay's complex wordplay, but I ain't got the time...lol..
I love the book, but the hype behind it leaves me perplex at times. We all know that corporate America loves rags to riches stories, and Jay Z delivered it. I mean dude is bluntly saying that looking back at some of the things he did when he was on the streets, he feels like he is getting away with murder... What message is this sending to kids? the real message should be you'll end up in jail ( if not dead) for selling drugs! Not, an ex drug dealer, who used everything he learned from the sstreet to become a millionaire!!!!
Besides the fact that his narration of his life on the streets, is sometimes romanticized, I'm just happy that more people will better understand his rhymes....

SPRING 2011

As soon as the holidays were over , I started to get excited about spring, or should I say about spring fashion. I found myself daydreaming about outfits that I can put together from my closet( peep how I said from my closet, not outfit that I'm goonna buy). Thinking of ways to revamp my wardrobe....Soft colors during the day, bold colors at nights; pretty trench coats, wellies, pretty dresses and all had my heart smiling during the snow storms, telling myself, it will all be over soon...
Here are trends you should get ready for....
70's Glamour: get ready FOR 70'S BOHEMIAN AND 70'S GLAMOUR.Maxi dresses,high waist pants with elegant blouses( silk,long sleeves blouses.). I personnally will go for see-through blouses. Hot pants ( the ultimate 70's item); its not summer yet so you might want to wear them with tights)
Biker Fashion: This trend is taking over the military look; biker jackets, leather pants motorcycle.
Full skirts: Ok, now, I woke up this morning thinking I should really get into full skirts, and this is something i don't really have, so thats on my list of things to buy.

LV full skirt..

Burberry motorcycle jacket for men.......

As for sping colors, Bold colors: my favorite trend du jour.This trend is also great for winter or spring jackets. Everyone should own a bright winter jackets. Loud pinks,cobalts,yellows,oranges and reds are the best...

As for the guys, I ll have a full post next time....
Enjoy!!!!!

HOW MANY MICS DOES SHE RIP ON A DAILY??

These days ,the level of anticipation that awaits any Lauryn Hill's performance is crazy. I mean the Lauryn has been away from the spotlight for a long ,long ,long time. So it's no surprise that the news of her comeback tour created mixed feelings among her fans. Although, the concert in Montreal was instantly sold out ( well the metropolis is a small venue after all), people still feared they would regret their decision.( based on everything we heard about her mental stability.) I was just exicited to see her again on stage. Going to the concert, I knew what to expect ,and I was not disappointed. Okay, okay, she was late as usual, I started to get tired of her DJ's weak attempt to entertain me , but when she hit the stage with those classics ( she opened with a Bob Marley song, then went through "The miseducation " and some numbers from "The Score "), I remembered why I love that lady. I must say.

21 YEAR OLD VIRGIN?????

Few months ago, I was impressed by the stories of two beautiful women on the Oprah Winfrey show. The ladies were in their early thirties and still virgins. They had never been in love, had never been in serious relationships and never had sex. Now ,one of the ladies said she had brick walls surrounding her. Fears!!. Fear to live, fear to love ,fear to be vulnerable. The other young lady had self-esteem issues( weighing close to 300 pounds), so she spent alot of her time in her bedroom.
Now this stories came back to me, because, a couple of weeks ago i found out a young lady I know is a virgin.....at 21 . All I could muttered was " stop playing" , until I realised she was as serious as an heart attack. Then , next thing I asked, " how did you do that?", she said she has seen some guys recently but hasn't liked anyone enough to have sex with them...(Now that's powerful) I went on to say, "of course it will be stupid for you to give it so easy now , you waited all these years, but I mean how did you deal with peer pressure as a teen , like, squash the peer pressure, how did you deal with the hormones?? She just smiled and said: " I don't know".
The difference between the ladies on Oprah and my friend, is that , she has an outgoing personality, this girl goes to the club almost every weekend. She is also well grounded, from what I can tell.
I don't care what you've heard , but sex is a huge deal, even though society doesn't seem to think so. I mean how many relationships failed because of sex. I 'm not gonna get too much into that last phrase , or this topic will never end, but you get the point. And to those who think that being a virgin at that age is impossible these days or think that men won't like it , because they like experienced women, yadi yadi yada , all I've got to say is that you know you just mad, because you wish u had waited too!!!!!
So whether religious reasons or moral reasons, or even anormality ( asexuality), as long as you are ok with it...
So to my dear friend!! I commend you!!! Make me proud when that day comes!!!...:)
I LOVE YOU , GIRLIE!!!!

HEY 2010, IT WAS NICE TO MEET YA, BUT I 'VE GOTTA MOVE ON!

Raising my glass to 2011. If you stay ready, you won't have to get ready!

As as said in the intro to the blog 2010 was not a bad. Before that year I never knew the true meaning of that saying "what a difference a year makes". In the beginning of 2010 I knew I wanted to quit my 9 to 5 to pursue my dreams, I just didn't realized how challenging it was going to be. All I knew is that I had to beat my fear, so I got ready, and did it. During my off time, I was blessed to see some of my family members, went back to Atlanta and saw some of my favorites ladies in the world...Saw Dee in NY( that girl inspires me, keep me in check whenever I lose focus)...I did some more traveling , and came back to Montreal; only to be forced to get rid of my doggies. A decision I dont regret , but I had my babies for 5 years, so of course, it saddens me...Great challenges during that year, but I embraced them all and kept pushing( Pray Until Something Happens)..Things are looking promessing right now, I can say that much.
I usually dont like the hole new year resolution deal, because I dont feel like I should wait for january to set some goals. Granted, through experiences , I learned from my mistakes, and won't repeat certain things this year, but an actual written-new-year-resolution is not something I ll do. OOOOH maybe 1 thing......I really want to stop biting my nails!!!!!!

here are pics of the bests of 2010..
