Basketball Wives Necklaces????

2012-01-20T19:48:00.006-05:00

Sooo here we are again with the Oversized earring phenomenon. Ok the earrings I understand BUT....BUT......What is under these reference earrings bothers me.....

=============================================

NECKLACES TO MATCH?!?!?!?!?!?! I know its all the rave and its trending but to be brutally honest I think they're corny as f*ck. I could deal with the earrings b/c they look cute and you can play around with it but to have the audacity to put the same beads around your neck and think its cute...no. I just can not support this trend ....I think this is a FAIL. Here is what I saw.... and you can judge for yourselves.

================================================

================================================
===============================================

================================================

So now we know what to expect on Basketball Wives when it returns in February Over sized earrings with normal sized necklaces...they could have at least draped them...... I'm done....Thanks for stopping by.

Attention!!!!! Fashion on the Home Front........

2012-01-11T09:54:00.007-05:00

Sooooo here we are in 2012... Happy New Year blah blah blah...... Now a trend that has been lingering since Halloween are COMBAT BOOTS! Now I am not quite sure how this came into style and who started it (TRUE FASHIONISTA'S HELP ME OUT HERE) But its a big phenomenon! Now its been a long time since I've been to 3rd Avenue in the Bronx now the store I walked into was "REVOLUTION" and all the boots ranged from $24.99 - $39.99. Here are a few pics I took while the sales guy finally took a break from hovering over them!!!!

============================

===============================================

===============================================

==============================================

Now out of all the boots they displayed THIS WAS MY FAVORITE ONE!! I mean the red color the little "Pacman" buttons, Mmmmmm how cute is it BUT they didn't have my size so I cursed out the salesman by giving him the side eye. I mean isn't this cute!!!!! Uuuuugggghhh (If it was real leather I would've cried for real for them not having my size.... I'm serious.)

===========================================

Now this boot I found onlie courtesy of Google and its only $39.99 but they only have Size 7!! What The F**k?!?!?!?!? -____- Well I see I can buy some plain military boots and add the details myself *shrug* I just really love the little patch and wings medal on the top of the boot!!!!! Mmmmm Hmmmmm
==============================================

After seeing all these military boots I thought damn a jacket would be nice and I went to faithful google and found this jacket but it was just a picture no price no brand but I will brand it right now "MILITARY LOVE"!!!!!! Its hard and soft at the same time!!!!!

Until Next Time,

A girl's best friend......

2011-12-29T03:50:00.007-05:00

This past summer I went to Maryland to visit some family and we went to the Museum and they had a Gemstone section.....yes a gemstone section a sea of Malachite, Amethyst, Amber, Topaz, Sapphires and of course *Prince Voice* D to the I to the A to the M , to the M.... O to the N to the D (From his song Diamonds and Pearls if you do not know it get familiar right here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rTvG2jVteA ) Yes DIAMONDS!!!! Here are some of the pics I took and just freed up 15 new pics slots on my phone whoo-hoo!!!!

Quick lesson for my "P-I-T's (Princess -In-Training) courtesy of Wikipedia : " In mineralogy, diamond (from the ancient Greek αδάμας – adámas "unbreakable") is an allotrope of carbon, where the carbon atoms are arranged in a variation of the face-centered cubic crystal structure called a diamond lattice "

The diamond on the left is in its raw state and how ALL diamonds are found rough and rugged, and after taken to a jeweler for polishing and cutting it turns into the one on the right...GORGEOUS....simply gorgeous"

Now that you know what a diamond is how do you grade them, How do you know if that engagement ring is worth any money at all....... Here's a grading system to help you based on the 4 C's :

1.Carat (just how big is this thing on my finger)

2.Color (This is obvious, white. black, red....etc)

3. Clarity (How many flaws is in this diamond? Are they noticeable in clear sight or under magnification?)

4. Cut (Ooooh how I love this one, there are many ways to cut a diamond a favorite of mine is the the Emerald cut )
Tell me this ring is not to die for!!!!!!!!!! UUUUuugggghhhhhhh ! GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!! *Sigh* One day...One day........
==============================

The Diamond Chart..... (Sorry if it is not too clear it was the only one I could find online that went into details )

Many retailers use diamonds with the clarity of KLM, which is a faint yellow however under florescent lights they appear clear and bright and they are used for their brilliance of light reflection and NOT quality. Now you would like a diamond within the F,E,D, range which is a clear color and preferably Internally flawless (which is rare to come by or man-made) but ladies VVS 1 and VVS 2 are just as good. Meaning the inclusions can not be seen that well and must be under 10x magnification. If you would like more info on diamonds and how to grade them check out this website they're very helpful from the GIA: Gemological Institute of America: http://www.gia.edu/lab-reports-services/about-the-4cs/index.html

Now enough of the mumbo jumbo You want to see some pieces that sparkle? No problem scroll down Darlin' .......

===================================
==============================

=====================================

Ladies here is the infamous "HOPE" Diamond , it is not too clear in this photo but do you see that small opening, that is where she lays.........and is worth MILLIONS.......

Wikipedia to the rescue again : "The Hope Diamond, also known as "Le bleu de France" or "Le Bijou du Roi",^[3] is a large, 45.52-carat (9.10 g),^[1]^[4]^[5] deep-blue diamond, now housed in the Smithsonian Natural History Museum in Washington, D.C. It is blue to the naked eye because of trace amounts of boron within its crystal structure, but exhibits red phosphorescence after exposure to ultraviolet light.^[6]^[7] It is classified as a Type IIb diamond, and is notorious for supposedly being cursed. It has a long recorded history with few gaps in which it changed hands numerous times on its way from India to France to Britain and to the United States. It has been described as the "most famous diamond in the world"^[8] and is said to be the second most-visited artwork in the world, after the Mona Lisa.^{[2] "}

WEIGHT:	45.52 carats
DIMENSIONS:	Length 25.60 mm Width 21.78 mm Depth 12.00 mm
CUT:	Cushion antique brilliant with a faceted girdle and extra facets on the pavilion.

All about Ruth..........

2011-12-05T21:19:00.006-05:00

So here is the talented Ms. Ruth Farias, her artwork consist of fluorescent and black light paints. She is poised next to her Favorite painting among the collection she brought with her which I believe is entitled "Peacock of Dots" this picture I took does no justice to how gorgeous this painting is!!!!
Here is another painting, not the best photo but it touched me and when I look at it I felt all warm inside, wishing I was that woman cuddled up with him.... (a girl can dream).

Thsi painting "Underwater jungle" is very detailed and kept my eyes busy I felt like it was an unending Pacman maze , The painting is trendy and chic!!!!

And once again we revisit the Peacock I really love this one, all of her paintings are for sale and I was considering buying this then I remembered how poor I am....smh. *sigh* C'mon Lotto!!!

If you are interested in Contacting Ruth or purchasing any of her paintings please feel free to

Ruth's E-mail : D_Caramelo82@hotmail.com

Oh and this was a decor piece and it caught my attention DUH b/c it's a shoe, I thought it was interesting, and imagine if you could actually wear a wire shoe..... woudl you wear it...for Fashoin?

Until Next Time

Sea of Shoes.....

2011-12-05T20:15:00.007-05:00

So a few days ago I walked into a few stores and looked at some shoes and here they are......

This shoe I absolutely Looove this shoe, well there is rarely a shoe I don't like with animal print!!! The height , the style, the strappy details.....YES!

Now I am not to fond of this shoe but I really like this heel which is ALMOST an exact replication of Gianmarco Lorenzi .......

I like the little cut-out details of this shoe I just thought it looked different and unique, Forgive me if the original designer escapes me... Waaaahhh.

I Looooove rhinestone crystal shoes BUT Why did they put the crystals on the shoe instead of the platform and the heel?!?!?!?!?!? ugh so many shoe designers are doing this.....PLEASE stop and reverse the crystals!!! thanks!!!

Now these shoes have Total Asian appeal, now on top of these uber chic floral design are pearl colored sequins!!!!! This picture does no justice I mean the way the light hits it! mmmph this shoe is the business report and projection!!!! Will I purchase these yes and which one The one on the far left, the light blue one!!! UUUUUGGGGHHHHH I'm gagging!!!!!!! Hurry up Pay Day!!!

Now where were all these previous shoes discovered at??? Take a guess............RAINBOW!!! Yes girl RAINBOW in Harlem! Unbelievable and NONE of the shoes were over $30! Yea teh quality may not be TOP TOP Quality but I mean look at the variety of styles!!! How can you deny yourself at least one pair? I know I will not!!!

And now onto H&M......

These boots are all the rave at every single shoe store and every time I see them I hear Florida's verse "...She had the boots with the fur...." I literally can not walk into any store without seeing these boots, are they cute? Yea, woudl I buy them? No...I just think something is a bit off about them, I can not pinpoint it but they're not appealing to me as yet.

My eyes viewed the MOST HIDEOUS pair of shoes I have ever seen!!!!!!! Its bad enough shoes are no longer high heels they have all been converted into those God awful wedges here if you dont know what I am talking about... http://www.shoeperwoman.com/2010/08/giuseppe-zanotti-crystal-bow-pumps-and-high-platform-wedges.html I don't care if they're designer wedges that style is FUGLY!!!!!! For those who do not know what "FUGLY" means it stands for "F**king Ugly" !!! If you own a pair of those shoes I hope and pray that you bought them or wanted them for a Lady Gaga music video -_______-

And I'm done!

Shooting for Hoops.....

2011-12-05T19:55:00.005-05:00

Ok first blog back in business..... As you can see by the photo here, the Infamous Evelyn Lozada who became an OVERNIGHT reality star approximately 2 years ago courtesy of Basketball Wives, but aside from her hoe-ish ways , those over sized earrings are all the rage for the past 3 seasons!!!!!

I purchased these but they're a bit too big for me so yea I'm reselling them b/c they're non refundable!!!! The thing about these earrings is you MUST have an elegant neck!!! I can not stand seeing a fat neck woman wearing these b/c I am more focused pn your fat ass neck than stylish earring!!! UUuggghhhh

This one would have been more appealing if the lips were smaller and about 3 more added onto the earring!

Here we are the same earring as previosuly mentioned which tricked onto Love and Hip Hop as well... the cast members are wearign them on this show as well, it appears to be a must have into the holiday season and I assume this will end around early March of next year.

I will continue to look around for latest trends and what stores are selling these days!!! So far the 80's is alowly making a comeback with a modern twist!!!!! Let's see what happens!!!!

Liz Claiborne Runway show @ JC Penney 09-23-10

2010-09-27T20:49:00.005-04:00

JC Penney Liz Claiborne Fashion Show 9-23-2010
Cost: FREE!!!!!

This event took place at JC Penney in Herald Square and it was FREE!!!!! Liz Claiborne showcased her new line and the host was none other than the "oh so calm" Tim Gunn!!! I <3 him!!!!!

=================
I do not know who she is co-hosting , she was ok, not too chatty thank goodness!!!

===================

====================

Then Tim gave out some fashion advice here are some of the ones I remembered...

1) Petite women should wear dresses that cut right at the center of the knee or right underneath to make your legs look longer.

2) When mixing patterns, be careful of the color selection and see how much activity is going on within its design. (my advice: follow its geometrical sister, i.e. stripes with plaid)

3) Wearing white is always fine all year round but not recommended for city living (smut, dirt..etc.)

4) Leggings should go all the way down to your ankles, leggings that end mid calf make your legs look shorter and ruins the illusion of long legs.

5) When working with Animal print its always safe to match it with a solid so the overall look will not look confusing.

6) Mother's should not shop with their daughters in the juniors section, it can be very easy to get trapped in there but remember you are in the JUNIORS section.

Those are all the tips I remembered him sharing now go out there and.....

MAKE IT WORK PEOPLE!!!!
==========================

After his fashion tips the crowd and I headed downstairs recived a free Recycle Tote bag, champage and hor 'dourves (scallops, cheese crackers, mini donuts and others i can not even remember)

Until next Time

Peace

Single Black Man in Search of....4/24/2010

2010-04-25T02:09:00.004-04:00

Single Black Man in search of........

===============================

So this event took place this evening in Harlem at Trattoria Amici Lounge, it was for a good cause to help raise money for children scholarships and education in short.

COVER to get in Ladies: $15/ Men: $25

Here is what happened in a nutshell, We were presented with about 10 men to bid on all of them single eligible black men. I thought to myself wow this room should have been packed to capacity of black women who were just all over the news screaming "THERE ARE NO BLACK MEN" , "I AM A SUCCESSFUL BLACK WOMAN, I NEED MAN WITH A JOB" Where they hell were ya'll? Seriously though.

The bidding for all men started at $15 then increased at $5 increments. (i.e. $15, $20, $25...etc)

Moreover I want to put the promotion team on blast the only way I found out about this event was on myspace because I have a picture up that makes me look like a model.....

So moving along the men ranged in ages 23-40 and they were of average height, and the majority wanted a christian woman who is also a freak.....gotta love that honesty right ladies?

I was surprised at how some of the women went toe to toe for this one guy whom was very attractive and he said the most romantic thing he ever did for his girl at the time was surprise her with a trip to Aruba...for those not familiar with the island it looks like this.....

Given if that was true...Whoooo you go boy, he was bought at $75 from a bidder on the phone.....THE PHONE!!!!! LOL. (He was the highest bidder of the night, that poor girl is hoping for a trip to the Caribbean as well...Best wishes girl I am rooting for ya)

Even some of the guys said they will reimburse the bid you place and more! How you gonna beat that? really though, how?

It was a great event I just wish the venue chosen was bigger and promotions should have went out hard for this one, I just can not stress enough how the media always portrays that no one wants a black woman and then this event comes along and that was the turnout...Come On Now...well before I get too upset I did leave after the auction (around 1 am) so maybe people showed up after hoping to get those midnight specials........*turn the lights off* <----Beyonce sweet dreams
=====================================

Until Next Time

Kimora Lee Simmons at The Learning Annex 4-20-10

2010-04-20T23:46:00.004-04:00

APRIL 20, 2010
Kimora Lee Simmons @ The Learning Annex in NYC
Location: Hilton Hotel off of 54th and 6th Ave
====================

So Kimora walks into the room and she looks beautiful, all the seats in the front were taken so I could not get a good put they all came out like this

But onto the business aspects he came into the room and began to give a brief history about herself and how she started as a model for Chanel and so on and how she met up with Russel Simmons she basically gave a brief bio about herself then she began to list some great points for aspiring (fill in the blanks) for those looking to get into the fashion world.

1. NEVER GET ATTACHED TO YOUR NAME
Someone may like your brand name and ask to buy it for a large sum of money, let them buy it and keep an eye on how it is handled while re-inventing a new name for yourself.

2. YOU MAY NEED A PARTNER TO GET THINGS MOVING
When entering fashion if you want to get your name out there you will need help every now and then. Someone who is computer Savvy or someone who is able to get your ideas across clearly on paper and in "technical" terms.

3.BEST WAY TO EXPAND YOUR NAME IS ONLINE
This is the era of viral media everyone is online making one minute videos to catch your attention and to get their name out there. So make a video, market your name, brand or whatever it may be and get your following up.

4. WHEN YOU MAKE IT DO NOT MICRO-MANAGE!
The hardest thing for some of us to do is to let go of tasks and let others have control of it due to all the hard work put into making it this far, however you will burn yourself out quickly and tire, you have to DELEGATE TASKS to others and trust them to get the job done. *besides there is only one way to find out if someone can actually get the job done...let them do it!"

5. IF YOU CAN NOT GET IN THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR GO THROUGH THE BACK
This by far is the best piece of advice throughout the event because she said, when people tell you "You can't do this without doing this" or "You have to do this or you're not gonna make it" Prove them wrong. Kimora got discovered in Paris not US, so sometimes you have to go through a back door to get in. *It was funny when she said for Kim Kardashian she had a sex tape...lol*
-This point hit home for me because as much as you hear it, you never know when its going to resignate...and tonight I am not saying it did but it went a bit further than usual.

6. THANK YOU FOR NOT USING THAT OLD BULLSH*T LINE: *FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS*
Thank you for giving actual advice with steps you can follow!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
=====================================================

And of course being the Diva that she is she took a picture with everyone who waited and gave a free sample of her name perfume *Dare Me* and it smells sooooooo good!!!!!

==========================

Kimora and Me.......Xoxo

Thanks Kimora this picture is Purrfect!!!

Sonia Rykiel debuts at H&M...

Hey everyone I was not able to get out to the stores today but I will later on this week for some up close inspection of Ms. Rykiel collection. I just browsed around the internet for some photos of her line that came out today and I must say this is not my taste.

I am familiar though that she is big in Europe/France a brief bio of her can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonia_Rykiel .

So moving on I have borrowed some images for your viewing pleasure and the only things I sort of like are the lingerie and that's about it..Sorry nothing more to say..to me this is too simple for my taste..

I love Glam, Glitter, Bling, Studs, Spikes, edgy meets Soft leather and lace you know...another thing I do not care for is all the promotions look the same that crazy red hair is just too much for my eyes..as they say to each its own..Enjoy!

Until Next time....

Club Rebel 2-13-10

Ok sooooo I went to this Event thinking what the heck, It's Valentine's Day Weekend and I should get out of a slump and have some fun with a good friend. We head out and here is how the night went.......

Ladies free until 12:30 that's rare and open bar until 12 that's pretty good right. So we get in and the crowd is very young , they look 18 and up but whatever the music was good but the DJ would not SHUT THE F*CK UP!!!!!! I'm like PLEASE just play the song! Also every song he made into something overly sexual, for instance some verse he would say "I hope she swallows" or he would say "If you got good p*ssy" put ya hands up ladies!" Ummmmm I don't know if its just me but that's none of your business buddy....lol.

Moreover, that DJ kept cutting good songs and blending them with whack songs, also here is a tip if you're gonna play Reggae music you can not just play one song and then back to Hip Hop.......that doesnt make any sense, you got the Pasa Pasa dancers ready and then they run their heads like "Ah wha gwon so". Now time passes and a new DJ comes up and he does the same crap...Ugggghhhh. So my friend and I go to the Reggae room and it is tight in there I mean packed, it doesnt even make sense to make a way into that crowd at all. By the way Fabolous was giving away a $500 shopping spree to the best dressed female in the building which I am 100% sure that it went to a Video Vixen chick.....so eh whatever.

So we eventually left it was about 2:30 cause we were hungry! LOL , So that was our night and we left ate pizza and headed home on the train together and that's really where the night got fun. The people you see on the trains in New York will NEVER cease to amaze you!

Until next time....

Peace

JIMMY CHOO @ H&M 11-14-09

===============

Hello again...as promised here I am at H&M 51st and 5th Ave here in the lovely state and city of New York! And Jimmy Choo designed a line for H&M and it will be there until EVERYTHING IS SOLD OUT!!! How could I resist? How could anyone? So the line for the shoes was C-R-A-Z-Y!!! It wrapped around the store and when you got into the shoe section you only had approx 15 minutes to find your shoes and then the next batch of people came into the shoe madness. Now Jimmy Choo also had clothes but me not being a size 2 or 4 did not bother to browse through the clothes anyways. Here are some pics of the madness that took place:

=========

This lady seems to be keeping her cool.....oops thats a mannequinn...waiting for Jimmy Choo to arrive.....

======================

Now after about 45 minutes I am in the shoe section and I bought two pairs both for under $300!! JIMMY CHOO SHOES FOR LESS THAN $300 FOR 2 PAIRS!!! UNFREAKING BELIEVABLE!!!

Zebra print pump with rhinestones and studs all over the place....$129.00

Patent Leather Leopard print stilettos........ $129.00

====================

This is how I would wear these shoes..

AND

=================
Oh what a day of shopping!!!! I must say H&M handled the crowd very well and kept the line moving...great job H&M! I am anticipating their next guest designer and you know where I'll be headed to again...SHOES of course...lol =)

==================

But now I need to rest being fabulous is tiring

*yawn*

(The Day of the Dead)

The Day of the Dead is celebrated in Latin America to remember family and friends that have left the earth.....click here for more info from Wikipedia: www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dia_de_los_muertos

Y entonces mi voy.........

===============

This was my outfit for the night......

So I get there and it was a heap of spanish music, reggeaton. bacchata, salsa and for a vrief moment these girls went on stage and danced with painted skeleton faces and that was it the rest of it was a club night, when it was advertised as a costume event..ugh I wanted to be entertained..so what did I get out of the night? A free drink from this guy and a bottled water from the bouncer (since I already knew my limit) and the bouncer was cock blocking every other guy that tried to talk to me wow.....I was 5'11" in my heels and the bouncer was still looking over my head he must've been 6'6' at least. The previous guy was nice but his hands were too curious for my liking =/ Other than that goo dmusic DJ Camillo was on the 1 and 2's good mixing and he had the crowd moving.

So of course since it was more of a club scene it was the usual "Yo mami..what's good" blah blah blah........*sigh* so I left early anyways before the night club began. The event was from 7 to 11 then the nightclub merges in and I am not into the club scene as much as I was before..so I left around 11 and enjoyed my free drink and free bouncer services.....lol

Until next time

Peace

=====================

They raffled off a make-up basket filled to the brim, I am not a make-up person but that will make a nice christmas gift.......

=============
It's winding down and I spot this table...and....so here is the story the designer asks me which piece am I most attracted to and I said the pink and she says "That means you give off alot of energy but not enough to yourself." WOW she hit the nail on the head with that one..those that know me very well agreed. So of course you know the next step.........SOLD! (and no I did not buy it because of what she said it was because of how it looks.....its so fashion sheek and you can wear it 4 ways....as a necklace, double necklace, laid chain and a belt...it's 36" long)

Breast Cancer Charity @ La Pomme 10-25-09

2009-10-26T19:11:00.012-04:00

Pink & Black Masquerade @ La Pomme 10-25-09

Hey there, I went to this event because this is a topic dear to me and breast cancer is a serious issue that we as African American women need to get checked up on consistently. Just think about it a mammogram can not be as annoying as a pap smear....this is not to advocate to do one over the other as both are equally important to our health, I'm merely saying at least with a mammogram there's no clamp or stirrups, yes there's a machine that presses your girls together but it's only every 1-2 years, (please confirm this with your own primary physician). Love yourself fully and get checked xoxo......

This event was free and all donations went to breast cancer awareness charities.........

=======================

so here is my outfit....if your curious the stockings are by DKNY!!!! *smooches*

======================

ok so I get there and what do they have free drinks of Nuvo.... my first time having this drink its ok, the color attracted me....being pink of course and oh yeah..it was FREEEEEE all NIGHT!

=========================

So I get inside and the music is good I see everyone in their pink and black attire dancing and everything. Now for the ladies reading this blog yes they had guys in there and they were dressed nice BUT alot of them in there was CORNY, no personalities just standing around looking at the abundance of T&A. Most of the ladies in here were waiting on NY Giants players #35 Kevin Dockery and #24 Terrell Thomas....oh did I mention they were sponsoring this event....mmmmmm makes them that much cuter.... :-)

K.D
T.T.

===================

Then DJ Kaos got on the 1's and 2's and of course we all know what happens when Reggae music comes on...sex on the dance floor......but it gets better who steps into the building...It's...It's...It's SERANI!!!

Serani came and sang a little bit of his song "No Games" and promoted his album and helped support Breast Cancer Awareness ...Respect!

==============

So that was my night I danced for a bit avoided the cornballs and helped a good cause with a donation, I didn't get to see Kevin or Terrell because allegedly they were on their way the entire night and I got tired of waiting for someone who is "on their way" so I left knowing I did my part and my heart is content helping a good cause. Oh!.... and just for fun peep my pink ribbon eyes......see the cause and support it!!!!

Until next time

Peace

The Singles Soiree @ Katra 10-22-09

2009-10-23T00:29:00.008-04:00

****KATRA LOUNGE 10-22-09***

Hey this blog entry will be short and sweet about this event entitled "The Singles Soiree" . I went there thinking hmmmmm let's see what NYC has to offer. It was an intimate group of no more than about 30 ppl of course more women then men and they did an ice breaker game. Everyone had a piece of paper with a number on it and you had to find the person with the same number and who did I come accross .........Weeee-o---weee-o----weee...A police officer...oooo excuse me a Sergeant with a taste for the limelight......(icy wrists and ears) We had a simple conversation and he seemed cool......numbers exchanged...and maybe I'll press charges.....

So that was my event short and sweet only thing I'm a bit peeved about is that I paid $10 to get in and everyone else got in for free....I didn't get that memo...well I don't know where that $10 can lead to......Oh and before I end this I picked up another flyer off the table and it read "Matchmaking for SINGLE WOMEN seeking WEALTHY MEN" wow can you be any more direct keep in mind I took the flyer home...lol there's nothing wrong with a little pampering right.....

==================

My next event will be Sunday 10/25 a Breast cancer awareness party with some NFL players...a great cause and a great time anticipated...

===================

Until Next time

Hennessy Artistry 10-07-09

2009-10-11T21:53:00.008-04:00

Ok here I am again Ms. A-3 went to the Hennessy Artistry Event on October 7 in NYC thanks to a special connect whose identity will not be released. Thank you soooo much XOXO

================

Here is what I wore out that night a cute lil black dress with minimal accessories..Ladies please stop over-accessorizing especially when you in the VIP section (hence my bracelet...lol) and did I mention FREE HENNESY ALL NIGHT...hmmmmm I think I had too many as well! =@
=====================

Here are some of the people I spotted before I headed in (photos courtesy of the web + google search engine)

I actually spotted her when she posed in front of that sign which was outside and she is sooo tiny, but I love how she came, relaxed and chic..Love it!!!! You can never go wrong with a simple jeans and black top. <3>

Now I did see all of them but I was not there for this pose I saw them individually, my connect pointed out Ashanti to me when I got inside, I walked past Eve numerous times and as for Common he was doing his thing on the stage playing my jam "The People" hardest verse on that song hands down : "Got back stage and I bumped into Stevie/He said no matter what the people gon see me" Daaaaaamn! <3>

Now this photo has a funny story behind it, I didnt see Tyrese inside but I did pass him many times and did not even realize until someone mentioned that was him to me.

Now for the guy standing next to him, here is where the story gets crazy: I asked someone who he was and they said they did not know so I approached him and we have small talk, and I handed him one of my business carsds to promote this blog and he takes my card and puts it in his pocket. After he walked off I was told who he was...get ready for this....the man I spoke with is Mr.Mark Cornell CEO/President of Moet Hennessy USA. whoa! .......(pause...breathe....ok...go) so now a few people came up to me after that saying "yo do you know who he is?" and I was like I do now. then people wanted to know what I do...amazing a little blogger like with no idea of whom he was , guess curiosity got the best of me...all I can hope for now is he reads my blog and either one or two things will happen he will hate it or like it either way my card made it into his pocket and I'm satisfied with that.

=======================

Until next time

Peace

Meet Jenn Clunis : Owner of "LoNoLi: Love No Limit LLC"

I had a chance to interview her and I bet you are wondering "Love No Limit...what is this about?" Well my fellow Singles guys and gals alike. LoNoLi is a dating service for single men and women...they are not a dating website they are a one on one counseling service for those who are looking for assistance in the Romance Dept. LoNoLi also offers solid answers to the those dreaded questions we all think and want to know "Why am I still single?" "Why didn't s-he call? "Is the problem really me?" .

LoNoLi specializes in makeovers from head to toe and get this they even have PERSONAL TRAINERS!!!!! The clientele served are filled with Professionals within a large variety of well respected fields.

LoNoLi started in Brooklyn and serve all boroughs as well. The age range for this service is 30 yrs old to the wisdom endowed.LoNoLi has been in business for a little bit over a year. Sounds good so far? Well here is the process its 2 steps

1) The interview: Getting to know yourself and what you like with one of LoNoLi's "love agents" with a one on one counseling
2) Set up with a mentor to discuss potential clientele and dating tips...(mmmmmm)

Here is Jenn with her "Love Agents Dana and Dayna
================================

When asked how have relationships gone with this service thus far and Jenn said that Business is great so far and some relationships even ended in marriage and the ones that did not work out a freiendship has maintained by both parties. Now for the part you have been waiting for..How much does this dating service cost? Yes there is a fee and the fee is $$$. You will have to check out her website for details : http://www.lonoli.com/

And the moment you have been waiting for the one and only Fashion Designer..."Rain"

I had a moment to chat with the talented designer and she described her clothes as ready to wear, very...very ready to wear. Rain's clothing line is called "Kissed by Rain" . Here's the herstory lesson: Rain began sewing at 6 with some thread and a needle and knew she wanted to design by the age of 13. She started off by designing pillows and she never lost that "itch to stitch". Her line consists of skirts, dresses, and blouses. Currently her line is for women but fellas don't walk away yet she is coming out with a men's clothing line of jackets!!!! Just in time for thanksgiving so you can rock that new "Rain" Gear at the next holiday party ;)

=================================

The show begins...........

(pic above) this dress: it has a layered chain necklace in the back that makes it extra sexy and sheek....

"Kissed by Rain" finale...

Rain and all of her lovely models.....and loved one.

Now the models have some down time and pose for some pics...

This was one of my favorite dresses......

Jim Jones vs DJ Self and the winner is........

2009-09-21T21:05:00.007-04:00

Ok so I went out this Sunday to support Harlem (Jim Jones and Juelz) at Club Promenade, I get there dumb early (learning my lesson from M2 Ultra Lounge...lol) and I get there at about 10:45 and I am the 3rd person on the line mind you the flyer says FIRST 250 LADIES FREE!!!!! So anyways I am standing there chatting it up with them and then the bouncer comes out asking for ID , I get a wristband and the two girls behind me get their hands marked with a big black "X" and says "if you are caught washing this off you will be escorted out of the club" Come to find out this club is 18 and up, my initial reaction was "ewww no" but I went in for a little bit and could not take it anymore it was a train of girls coming in and by this time about 15 minutes passed and I couldnt take it I got up and headed over to Citrine...besides I already know Jim and Juelz was not going to show up probably until the end of the night so...on to Citrine........

Citrine is the winner !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went here instead and this club is 21+ up, DJ Self I applaud you!!! The crowd was good and actually dancing. I will say that there was alot of young people in there (21-23 yr olds) but they were dressed in suits and ties and the older crowd was dressed in "street gear" wow, never thought this day would come where I would consider a younger guy! lol. Now the music is bumping DJ Self is getting it in and I met a few ppl there; some persistent chubby guy kept trying to dance with me for the night (ugh don't you hate that), the friend of the chubby guy (whom was cute of course), a cute young guy he was 21 with his little nerd glasses, and two other young'ns dressed in suits...soooo cute I can theme this "Wall Street Guppies". It was refreshing to see people dancing instead of profiling on the wall and just having a good time vibing, drinking and having small chatter. Now I have decided to follow DJ Self from Power 105. 1 to his next venue which will be Strata this friday (09-25-09) and I will definitely be in the building........stay tuned for that......

Jim...Juelz I love ya but ya gotta get your promotion team together for a flyer to say first 250 ladies free , 18 and up crowd, and the line being that short gotta change your marketing techniques or your status in the rap game? Am I right? U decide.....

Peace

Ok so here is a brief synopsis of this event there were multiple fashion shows beginning at 8 but my late ass got there at 10 thinking that 8pm was a gimmick tool none the less, The designer’s name is Dean John . I go in and a bouncer gives me an inside tip that the party will not be rocking until 1 or 1:30 am and if I want to get back in to just ask for him....You know me...I'm down for that, So of course I leave grab a bite to eat chill in the park on 23rd and 11th ave saw two ppl having sex and headed back to the club and the line was ridiculous, I called the bouncer oh yeah I forgot to mention he gave me his number and I got back in, this bouncer was the supervisor of all of them...Now I bet you're wondering what I was wearing....simply just some jeans, a black tank top and a burgundy velour blazer among SUPER-SKINNY women with the shortest skirts I've seen in my life!!!! Anyways my pictures are not the clearest but here are the best ones....

====================================

Everytime someone ordered a bottle of grey goose hostess would come over to them with sparklers and dance until the sparklers went out.....

================================
DEAN JOHN FASHION SHOW

Sorry for the video being sideways if anyone can help me readjust it let me know thanks :)
=====================================

Now these are pics from the club very lovely this club has go go dancers everywhere and two rooms of course the large room is for Rave and Techno music (which I LOOOVVVEEEE) and that is where the party really was at and DJ Amadeus....f*cking Genius with the music!!!! The other side was strictly Hip Hop and R& B with Hot 97's DJ Camilo, in other words the ghetto side a bunch of baggy jeans, heavy eyelashed birds and it was packed it was EXTREMELY PACKED. i wanted to return to the Rave side but the energy it took just to get to the bar passing by I was like forget this. Here are some pics of the club mansion its very nice inside.

============================

So all in all it was a great night courtesy of the bouncer that hooked me up with a VIP pass, free drinks and front row views of the fashion show!!!! (the reason why I didn't get good pics is b/c of the lighting was too bright for my camera and the lights were flashing and lots of strobe lights and confetti throughout the whole night in the RAVE ROOM ONLY!!!! The Hip Hop room was small and packed and not for me I love hip hop but not that atmosphere...ugh. Well this event was definitly hot and filled with beautiful ppl I will be going here again !!!!!!

=============================

Pssssst.. some of the cast from Gossip Gir attended, Mtv and NBC news was covering this event.. damn should have made it by 8.........until next time

Peace

Ok so I went to this independent Fashion Show in Harlem at the Dwyer building and the designers were C.H Designs and Ashley Stewart. Now these tickets were $25.00 plus $1.61 online fee. The show was printed for 8:30- 10:00 BUT the show ended in 30 minutes!!!!!! 2 designers 30 minutes and LIMITED fashion. Anyways here are some pics for the peak of the evening.......

C.H Design (best dress of the night hands down)

C.H. Design (peep the trim on the bottom subtle details)

All of C.H. Designs and models.

Ashley Stewart was a disappointment many of the clothes looked similar to clothes found in rainbow these pics were the best from the collection displayed except a sweater that was gray, orange and white it was very mod.

Ashley stewart (best shirt from collection)

La Femme Fatale...La Diva de eclectic "first date with Power"

2009-09-17T00:58:00.005-04:00

Given that I have a controlling nature at times my perfect first date would include the items litsted below...............hence the theme is S&M......

These shades are a must have by Kerin Rose , my order is already in.

this hairstyle is a MUST!!!!!!!!

Shoe option 1 and the cheapest I found it for $95.00

Or maybe unleash the serpent within me and allure him with my venom?

Or I can really engage in some acupuncture and walk over his back and make his toes curl in a new way..........Can you say "straight to the point?"

These are my first date essentials........ anything I wear with these accessoiries will pretty much match dont you agree?

So for the singles out there after you've reviewed my list, any takers out there? Dont' worry I am not into pain......I'm into giving it to others who need it.......

Au Revoir,

La Diva de Eclectic

Taking risks.......

2009-09-06T19:17:00.000-04:00

*lips from Rocky Horror Picture Show* So here is my weekly sunday blog topic being the Recession. Many of us are out there looking for jobs and we go through one...two..three sometimes even four interviews just to be told " We do not have an opening for y0u at this time" or " We will keep you on file and call when something comes up". And you just wonde what was the whole purpose of this agency making a Help wanted Ad? So this is my suggestion dont let pride and fear of success hold you back. Im sure millions of us out there have ideas that we belive woudl be wonderful but we never act on them we just sigh heavily when we see the "sham-wow" guy on TV with an idea similar or we shout at the TV "WTF that's my idea". So here's my formula in order for success you have to follow the first step: 1) Take a Risk! I myself will soon be following this and see where it leads, but we as a nation need to stop depending on others for money and make our own...this is the land of opportunity not only for immigrants but for the natives as well. And myself being a native New Yorker there's bound to be opportunity all around me I just need to complete that first step........
