6. JERK moves...



Today in the gossip world, it was reported that Richard Jefferson ( NBA player) has paid his ex-fiance a lump sum to "help her move on". WTF? Since when does money comfort a woman who has been left at the altar? Which brings me to my next point... Can money help one compromise in a unhealthy relationship? Can money buy your happiness? This issues intrigue's me because of a situation I was presented with the other day. A "special friend" decided that because he declined my invitation to a remote beachfront location, that him offering to pay for the whole trip would somehow make things better. His invitation was not only an inconvenience for me & my schedule... but also a "trick" ( if you will) to get me to speak again. Men, these things don't work. Throwing money & free vacations in my face is not going to get me to "budge" in you're direction, or foolishly go along with your demands. Let's all take a moment & realize that money DOES NOT & NEVER WILL truly buy the happiness of a woman. Because at the end of the day, or vacation.. when that woman is sitting alone by herself & you're out gallivanting with the next female you bought.. she won't be happy & neither will you. .. at least once she comes out & tells you how she truly feels. ( & we all know that won't be pretty.

5. Vintage Shopping Blues..

So here I am thinking I can make alterations to everything I bought at the vintage store today. BIG MISTAKE. So far I'm still working on the romper , screwed up a tie-dye shirt, reconsidering this slinky dress I bought ( so much for tapping into my inner Amber Rose ) & am dealing with the jeans. The jeans will not be touched.. its way to hard to find trouser fit jeans.. that are made for short people. Being 5'2 blows when it comes to clothes shopping. Anywho, once I upload the pictures & such before the catastrophe, I shall update. Until then, wish me luck :)

**UPDATE

found my camera & these are the originals, i wont dare show you what I've done so far...

the gorgeous romper WILL BE FINISHED.



i want to pair this with high waisted white jeans...
kind of a "Grease" feel :)


this will ultimately become a shirt.

completely obliterated this tye-dye tee.. its prob going to end up being a work out shirt.


i have no idea where to go with this dress.
its fits all the curves, but could I pull it off?

the glorious trouser fit jeans..
you will never be given away :)

i'm going somewhere with these shoes. Idk yet,
but I'm getting a Zoey Kravitz(fashion idol) feel from them..



I cannot end this post without showing the old school sewing machine I found in my grandmother's storage closet. It's made into an adorable table, with a faux drawer.


4. you deserve glory.. [b.LOVE]

I couldnt have an everything blog without posting some of an old friend's designs. I hope that whenever I do get followers,( publicize me bitches) that they will look back & see my buddy B.LOVE :) Anywho, I was talking last post about getting bleach &duct tape. My buddy put me onto this my freshman year, bt I never took the time to do it. Here are some creations : "Zebra Blues"

"Sunday Face"

"XXX"

But yeah, its the work of a superb old friend. I'll post info if he lets me.. bt right now, I'm waiting for a reply. I'm pretty sure he doesnt wake up `til late anyway. It's the life of a fashion prodigy :)

3. in a daze...


I could not pull myself out of bed early for some reason this morning. Lol, never mind. So after checking up on my celeb gossip this morning... my love for rompers, big sunglasses & Amy Winehouse is restored. (aka- these are the only things I find important this morning.) They posted pictures of Bey, as usual, but her outfit was fab. Besides the ever-present lacefront.. I love the rest of her outfit. I bought a pair of sunglasses similar to those & coincidentally broke them the next effing day. I am determined to have at least two rompers for class next semester. I am just in dire need of that People's Liberation tote from CR to spice some shit up. If anyone knows where I can find either a black or white romper. that will fit a curvy type without making my vagina look 10 ft tall, that would be great :) I'm thinking about getting crazy with bleach & duct tape.. OOOh, or a tye dye kit. Feeling extremely inventive these days :) Thinking about ripping up my Jolly Rogers tee( shout out to Jolly Rogers in Gboro) & putting the design somewhere....On to my next set of important news.. AMY FUCKING WINEHOUSE. My musical lesbian love... I still love Rihanna, but I prob. wouldnt marry her... anywho. Amy is back from her stint in rehab in St.Lucia & hopefully back in the studio. She put on a few pounds in the face & hopefully is ready to go. Please Amy, I'm waiting for the next album... I know my only follower(Lol) isnt going to let me end my post without talking about my adventure last night with L. I had fun, can't lie. Through getting attacked by numerous spiderwebs & threatening to impose serious bodily harm if he picked a spider up & put it on me... he was a gentleman. :) Since I'm one to take things slow, I have no idea where things will go from here, or if they will even go at all. I'm still young & single.. so I choose to keep my options only & not just date one person. I feel like when I've met that person I want to "settle down" with..I will, in a heartbeat. Until then, I've got electronic store works, waiters, models, carolina arena football players ( i will def. post about that date :) , NC dub graduates & college football players on my plate. Oh yeah, & some of this years freshman. Wish me luck :)

2. feelings...


I woke up this morning feeling pretty Kanye. This thought came to me as I watch my dog watch me eat my delicioso apple dippers from Mickey D's ( aka diet Satan). I bet just the caramel alone contains crack & a bagillion calories. Anywho.... I woke up this morning feeling Kanye-ish ( 808's & Heartbreak, of course) Been listening to it all day. This mood is prompted by my extra-curricular activities last night & a conversation with my BF#2. Had a dream about my infamous ex & our numerous "rolls in the hay"... yeah, we fucked A LOT. Sex dreams are few & far between even on my currently present "dry spell". But around every month or so I start to think about him & what would've been this month. Us seeing each other, etc.. it's been 2 years,I know. When you have to let go the love of your life, these things haunt you. I've tried dating & stuff... so I'm not hopelessly pathetic.. but my datees imperfection stick out like the bitch in the club that decides neon colors are classy.I guess I'm waiting until someone sticks around long enough to get that "perfect" image out of my head. Until then, I'm still young & beautiful.

1. intro ?


I won't blame this spontaneous thought to blog on a friend.
An outlet for my daily ramblings may be what i need to connect
to the outside world. For this NewYorker, Charlotte BlOWS. two reasons:

- i only spend summers here, so I'm completely lost when it comes to a
social life.
-the money is not as abundant as in RM.
-i actually have to answer to someone when i leave the house.

Anywho, I spend my days reading celeb gossip, urban relationship blogs, & fmylife.
I've been working for a while here & I'm getting used to the area. The men in this area arent as forthcoming as NY'ers. The wait `til later to drop the bullshit on you.
Children & dead-end jobs seem to be the norm in a lot of areas down here.My age-range seem to be pushing out children in comparison for shopping for the latest JORDAN in high school-- if you don't have it, you are NOT the shit. ( maybe a NY, bt I've seen lines for sneakers..)

My friends are generally from up north, or some carribean country. The people I fcuk with from NC usually think outside the box & are not in comparison with "normal" carolinians.

Enough about this BS... I'll post later.
