Maybe it’s my fried chicken or my Big Momma attitude encompassed in this exquisite size 4 frame. Whatever it is, letting go has always been so hard for them to do.

Recession + Fashion Industry = ?

The recession monster rears its ugly head, and by no means has it spared the fashion industry. It ain’t all good. The long-awaited NY Fashion Week scaled back, failing to meet fashion lovers’ expectations. And it isn’t ‘business as usual’ for Neiman Marcus, as the luxury retailer is rumored to offer mid-priced merchandise. But the big names in fashion are still putting up a fight, focusing on

Moment Of Clarity

Everyday my life changes. Some days it changes a little more than others but, nonetheless, the lesson learned is always well defined.I've executive produced a lot of relationships these past few years. If I do what I do like I'm doing it for TV, then my love life would be comparable to Flavor of Love. I'd be Flava Flav, choosing the more King Cover worthy contestant just to leave the viewers with

Founder of Aremu Premier Couture, a local urban fashion line with obnoxious plaids dripping with vibrancy, rich color and quality, Bim is well on his way to making his name known, and well worn.Bim and I connected at the Boys and Clothes Issue 2 Pre-Release Party

Do you SPANX?From one lush mama to another I dare ask, do you Spanx? If so, fabulous, if not start! Case in point, one day I was watching an episode of Tyra (yes I sometimes fall victim) when I noticed something peeking out from under her wannabe boyfriend jeans. What was this black, non-legged undergarment? It was non other than my favorite new obsession, the Spanx Hide & Sleek Capri Smoother!

Does An Orgasm = Satisfaction?

2009-06-03T10:54:00.010-04:00

The human body is a weird thing, especially a woman's. Some women can attest to never experiencing an orgasm. But, the question of the day is:"Does reaching a orgasm truly mean you are satisfied?"I have a friend named..."Name". "Name" met someone who would lay the "illest pipe" on her. She would tell me stories of how he would f@$k her so good, tears would come to her eyes (ouch). Once she

MUSIC REVIEW: No Strings - Carlos Jashir

2009-05-28T20:48:00.003-04:00

As I sit here about to type this review, I can't help but admit how much of a coincidence the lyrics happen to be in my life right now. And if it's one thing women appreciate is a song that feels relatable. So check out Carlos Jashir's (yes he looks familiar because he was on Season 4 of Making The Band) debut single "No Strings". Shout out to Carlos for continuing to do his thing and also for

The Greatest Revenge Is...Success!

2009-05-26T10:43:00.006-04:00

This summer is going to bring big $$$ to Tia Kemp aka Rick Ross's "baby momma". Many will say that this battle between 50 and Rick Ross is drawn out and old but, they have to admit that using his baby mother (the same baby mother whom he is in family court with) to really get under his skin must be applauded. I think its a great opportunity for her and quite possibly the best revenge since Ivana
