Dear Diary

...i need a new digital cam!...i'm such a non tech junkie with it comes to these things...how in the crap am i supposed to take fun pictures of stuff to post on my blog with crappy pic quality?...i would love to show off my vintage finds...and show people the neat things i see when i go out...i also want to be able to post up pics of the awesomeness that is my besties & myself...i also wanna stalk pretty people in the streets to capture their moments of fashion greatness...just last night at Lotus there were a few girls who were dressed AMAZINGLY...think of white leather ankle booties...with a navy hued sailor/nautical inspired mini-dress...underneath a fabulous blazer...and a white vintage chanel purse on shoulder...how i burn to have snapped a picture

im sooo angry inside

<3 Chocklit

Screwface to the wierd gent that stuck his head into the ladies restroom trying to follow bestie & double screwface to the skinny chick with no hang time and the other joinnt with her shoes off and major cankles & triple screwface to dreaded monsters & the grey shirt bandit *giggles*

Yahhhhhhh Trick Yahhhhhhhh!

Today is actually a good day...not that any of my recent ones have been bad or anything...but the blog title might lead you all to believe that i'm irritated or something...i'm ok...really...i just have some rants to get offa my chesticles *hehe....i love that word*

It's Real...Let's Get Educated & Let's Get Tested

I just read the most disturbing article about the AIDS crisis...and it's here...right here...in America...not Africa...and in the black community...so take a few seconds to check the yahoo article out by clicking the ribbon...

The numbers are frightening and it's quite clear that turning a cheek won't help...of all the new cases of AIDS that are reported, the black community boasts *and i use that term damn lightly* the following numbers:

30% - Gay Men
40% - Men in general
60% - Women in general
70% - Youth

...we only comprise 1/8th of the US population...but account for 50% of the people infected with HIV/AIDS

That shyt isn't cute...and since im all for keepin it real i'ma say this...sex is real...it happens...is happening...and will continue to...by why not keep ourselves and others SAFE?...use condoms...and most importantly GET TESTED!

What's The Plan??

Ok...so i don't know if any of you are familiar with Mr. T. Boone Pickens...he's a Billionaire Entrepreneur...among other things...and as far as his political views goes...we're mostly opposed...he's a Republican, supported Bush during both political campaigns, and he also supported Rudy Giuliani...*grimace* aside from that...he's a helluva businessman...and he's got something to say about the US and our disgusting reliance on foreign oil imports...click the banner to educated yourself on his plan to aid the US on weaning itself from the "Oil Teat"

If I Hear One More Thing About...
~The following things are soooo stupid to me right now...i'm gonna blow a effin gasket if it doesn't stop!

Amy Winehouse
...I mean...I adore her music...but that's where my love ends...she's disgusting *mentally & physically*...and she doesn't seem to give a piss about that fact...i respect her talent...nobody can take that away from her...but i don't respect someone who's in to self-destruction...it's gross and unatractive on every level you can reach...i'm not even gonna go into her apparent racism issues either...cuz that's a whole 'nutha blog entry...i'm just over her and her media attention...NEXT!

Miley Cyrus
I actually think the lil missy is cute and she has a wonderful voice...what i can't stand is how the media and critics hate on her for being exactly what she is....a very talented...very successful...and very young woman that's on the cusp of becoming a full blown woman. I mean...yes...15 isn't seasoned by any means and she has a lot to learn in life and living…but wtf!...she’s real…she makes mistakes…in my opinion she's doing an excellent job thus far by staying far away from the dark side of the fame game...what's ironic is that all these critics and media would love her to emerge tomorrow with her hymen torn asunder....her hair shaved...pregnant with some married 37 year olds twins...and marked up by syringe scars due to a wicked heroin addiction...smh

Lindsay Lohan
Does it really matter if she's a lesbian or not?...i promise that she's not the first...or the last...and i'm sorry...i'd much rather hear about her working and on set with her new boo than being exposed as a coke sniffing fire crotch...Real Talk...i for one am hoping she's done with the powder...done with the insane partying...and has decided to relax on the free love

Shade Towards Barack & Michelle Obama
Get over it people!...Barack & Michelle are stuntin' on all these silly stereotypes with ease...class...tact...and most importantly with love...for each other...their children and family...their race...their community...their causes...their nation...and their world!

You MAD?

Crack open a nice frosty can of crow haters....and don't be surprised when the next President of the US is Barack "Yes We Can!" Obama!

Rhianna & Agyness Deyn

*pic courtesy of elle.com

Is this not an example of EXCELLENCE on every level? Where shall I begin?....oh I know!...how about her GORGEOUS Effin Face!...ok...so not only is she beautiful...but she works a pink lip to death...that hue is darling...and it goes well with the blush tone....so now lets focus on those eyes...Pure Vixen...someone please get me the mascara...shadow...brushes...and technique her makeup person uses... STAT

Ok...so the hair...what needs to be said?...I thought Posh and Katie Holmes had the hair cut game on lock this past year...but this Shyt Righ Hurrrrrrr!......Shout Out To Rhianna and her style team and her makeup artist and her beautician

*pic courtesy of elle.com

First of all her flippin name is amazing....AGYNESS DEYN....who comes up with genius like that?...it's like Golden Girl Chic...so can this complexion get anymore milk & honey? She's all cream and berries...I love it!...and she too works the heck outta a sassy short cut...also note that dark brows + blonde locks = awesome

NEW Mascara Technology

*pics courtesy of sephora.com

So Givenchy has created a new mascara that I must obtain...look @ the applicator tip!....according to the product description it's guaranteed to "...perfectly curl and separates lashes" with the result being "...A beautifully fanned-out panoramic effect, holding the curve of your lashes perfectly in place"

While not for the faint of pocket...I mean c'mon girls...it's Givenchy...I'm sure it's totally worth it weight and it's exclusively sold at Sephora....purchase it here for $27 smackaroooonies

Randomness...

as you might have guessed...this is just a bunch of random shyt that's on my mind and i felt the need to share...

H&M PROMO
H&M is having a flippin awesome promotion...Free tee with any denim purchase...as a former H&M employee...i must say that i know first hand how wonderful *and affordable* their denim is...so getcha arses down there pronto!

Forever 21's forLove line
I mean...i can't even begin to describe how cute and pocket friendly this stuff is!...the forLove line is mainly accessories...with a few tees for you and your puppy thrown in...just a few examples of the greatness:

Jonas Fever

ok...so to date i've yet to hear a single note belted out or played by these boys (The Jonas Brothers)...but they're plastered across every freakin thing i look at...which is ok by me in this case...i'm 100% ga-ga over their "look"...they manage to pull off nerdy/polished/tailored/all american/punk/80's casual all at once...they have the amazing ability to look great as a group but still maintain their own personal flair...and they are cute as FUCCCCC *no r. kelly*...i'm partial to the youngest one, Nick (pictured on the left in the first pic...and in the middle on the second)...go figure...i pick the baby!...his ass is mine when he's 18 tho...real talk!

Lookbook.nu Quest

so i've been attempting to get a freakin "look" posted on lookbook.nu and thus far i've been unsuccessful *looks attempted have been the green dress from the "goin green" post...the pic below with the creme tam...and another with me in a black bomber outside of a bar*...i'm sad...cuz i think that my pictures have been following the guidelines...clearly i'm mistaken and the quest continues...the pic with me in the skirt is my next attempt...wish me luck!

Genius Outfit!

i don't think i have to say much...sheer perfection and TOTALLY EFFIN CHIC Kelly!

Local Love
To all my DMV fashionistas and fashionistors(? lol)...check out this neat lil site to sign up for tips on fashion, beauty, news on sales and other gibberish...www.dcscout.com

HOLLA!

You're Either In....Or OUT!

Yay!.....Project Runway lights up my life....Heidi Klum is a freakin blonde goddess *sigh*

last night's show was "meh" as far as the clothes that were produced...the goal was to produce a cocktail dress suitable for "young hollywood" and the majority sucked terribly

My fave was designed by Blayne...young & edgy but tasteful...I LOVE...I'd wear this

The winning look was produced by Suede and i'm on the fence about it...i mean...it's unique...and young...but im not sure i dig the way it fits...the neckline kinda bugs me too...

Other needles in the haystack were looks from Stella & Kenley...that champagne hued fabric was beautiful...Stella's rocker-esqe dress was Perfection...Kenley's dress was the epitome of being TOTALLY EFFIN CHIC....i mean...that cut...and that wonderous neckline is to die for!

Ok...so poor Wesley got kicked off...but that fabric and design was disgusting...i really don't even wanna post it....

yuck right?....anywho...what i really would love to have is a picture of what Wesley wore on the runway during the show....cuz lemme tell you...his outfit was soooo IN
