Guilty Treats of the Day

As I write this post, I'm literally refraining from making a purchase of one of these guilty treats! Check them out below:

  Draya Black & White Color Block Skinny Jeans                      

Draya Michele was seen rocking these Colorblock jean leggings and Christian Louboutin Maillot pumps. The jeans can be found at Macys.com but I do believe these hawwt red bottoms are sold out.



Krazy Kenya Moore is rocking this classy and refreshing H & M mint pleated sheath dress. It has a springy feel to me and I would love to rock this as my Easter Dress this year! (Yes, I'm still a grown woman and I wear Easter dresses:)  It is actually from the  H & M Fall 2012  "Trend" collection .It has seamless sleeves with a pencil skirt vibe to it. Unfortunately, this dress is sold out as well. A girl can dream!

Say Word? Georgia State University ranked #1 School for Female Students with Sugar Daddies

gsu


Well damn. I don't normally pay any mind to ranking to things but this one caught my eye because it is indeed my Alma mater. When I think about it, it kinda does not surprise me.

Via AJC reports:
Georgia State was ranked as the fastest growing Sugar Baby School in the nation by a dating web site that connects wealthy men with cash-strapped female co-eds.
Seekingarrangement.com reported Monday a 58 percent increase in the number of college students who signed up in 2012.
Georgia State had 292 new sign-ups, the most of any school in the nation. University of Georgia came in at No. 8 with 148 new users.
“Georgia State prides itself on fostering an enterprising and entrepreneurial spirit among its students,” said Don Hale, vice president for public relations and marketing communications. “We are surely surprised to see it manifested in this way by these women.”
The average student received $3,000 a month in “allowances and gifts,” according to a news release.



 I began my matriculation at Georgia State in August of 2003 and as  gal from a small town in a large city , it was a challenging and exciting experience. But I do remember having classes with a lot of "video models", strippers, and the like. So of course, you're bound to have females who are getting that tuition paid, those books paid for, housing, and the like by any means necessary. Georgia State is also known for  being a commuter school, which goes against the traditional college campus student, who lives a typical college student life. You are dead smack of working, going to school or whatever else you please in the middle of downtown Atlanta.  Which also means you might run into a successful businessman or wealthy gentleman because you're right in the middle of the downtown pace and not hidden away from anything. So if you are a good looking gal or hang out where good looking gals could easily snag a "sugar daddy" I guess that's not quite so shocking. I also remember having having friends that only dated older gentlemen for their "financial benefits." Now, I'm not knocking  nor condoning having a sugar daddy because college is NOT cheap, but does this add value to my degree when I try to obtain employment? (You know, in case this whole blogging/writing thing doesn't work out, lol) Not here to judge folks because I was once a struggling college student myself, so get it how you live.(In hindsight, almost makes me regret those student loans I took out) But use it as a stepping stone and learn how to get your own after college, because you won't be young, fun and cute forever ladies.

RHOA recap and Kenya Moore's "Gone with the Wind Fabulous" Performance






For those of you who missed Real Housewives of Atlanta RHOA Sunday night, here's the breakdown:
  



  • The aftermath of Kenya and Walter's breakup- So Kenya invites her judgmental aunt and her side-eyeing cousin( that's just the vibe I got y'all) over to break the news of her and Walter parting ways. After expressing their disappointments, Kenya's cousin adds salt to wound by saying that she thought he was gay and that he tried to talk to her once (um, that's shit you say before you let get involved!)
  • NeNe and Greg move to L.A.- Nene and family move to L.A. where they are renting a house while she is filming for her role on "The New Normal."  She is suddenly realizing that the roles between her and Greg have changed, as she is the one bringing home the bacon now.
  • Phadrea and Kenya decide to team to produce the "Donkey Booty" exercise video- After previously discussing the possibilities of working on the project together, when they finally discuss things Kenya reveals that she would need a $100,000 budget, and then asking for 10% after she secured a distribution deal for the video. See, here is where the tricky part comes in. Now to me, it makes sense for her to want a percentage but apparently, they hadn't gotten down to the final line of the project, especially after Kenya came with those astronomical costs. Now, for anybody doing any kind of business, it makes sense that Phadrea would "shop around" per se to get the best deal. So, she speaks to Kandi's boyfriend Todd, who assures her that he could do it for much cheaper (probably better too, hell we was working with Bravo, who does Kenya work with?) So Kenya is upset, but nobody really gave her the go ahead to secure a distribution deal, and now you mad about 10%?  Like you were going to almost "bully" her into doing a deal with you. You are obviously not the best candidate. Girl, the more shows I see, the crazier you seem to get. Bottom line, don't mix friendships and business and expect certain things from people. It's their business deal with or without you.
  • Kandi throws Todd a surprise party and Kenya tries it- Kandi is definitely trying to get herself a ring and she knows she has landed her a good one. She takes him on a helicopter ride over Atlanta and then flies him over for a surprise birthday celebration. She then surprises him with his mother and he tears up *aaawwwwww*. The lion cake was adorable as well, to also celebrate their anniversary of when they met in Africa a year ago.  I wish them well, he seems like a good match for her.  BUT, of course yo girl KENYA tries to shake shit up and wishes Todd a Happy Birthday and asks about the Donkey Booty video all in the same sentence. Kandi is a good one, cause I would have stopped her after that sentence. It was TODD's birthday boo, are you dumb? She so desperate and thirsty for anything I swear! Kandi took it to the side and told Phadrea where she stated "bottom line is, I will  fuck somebody up about my man" Girl, and you got a good one,  I so totally cosign on that one boo.
  • Cynthia , Kenya and Phadrea meet up- So Cynthia and Kenya meet up at her agency to discuss Phadrea not wanting to give her 10% for the distribution deal she secured. Cynthia is side-eyeing Phadrea too because she sent out a tweet on twitter about a casting at her agency(which she didn't know about) in which she cancelled, because she needs her "booking fee" (damn right girl!) Once Phadrea arrives, they discussion takes a turn because Phadrea really ain't checking for her and her 10% and oh, i forgot to mention that she also mentioned the deal with Apollo behind Phadrea's back at the party as well.......
And last but not least, I stumbled across "Watch What Happens Next Live" with host Andy Cohen with MJ from "Shahs of Sunset" and of course Kenya Moore debubting her song "Gone With the Wind Fabulous" Of course Cohen seemed to eat it up because he is a queen himself but chile, those over dramatic movements, and those damn dancers....I was rolling. And you can't tell me that some queen somewhere is hopping mad because I guarantee she heard that  phrase from a queen and took it and ran with and is trying to cash in!!!!!!!!Anywhoo.......check out the video below:


Don't forget check out Real Housewives of Atlanta on Bravo on Sunday nights at it's new time 8p.m!!

What's a Girl To Do? Nicki Minaj's Hairstylist Quits




Welp, looks like someone got fed up with all those damn multiple personalities Nick's got going on. Her hairstylist, Terrance Davidson quit after three years of being apart of her team. He's responsible for her crazy eccentric styles that basically helped build the Nicki Minaj brand. And talk about bad timing honey,  since she's got tons of appearances coming up on American Idol. I mean damn, I thought it was just me when I saw her going back to her older, signature bang and all black hair. I had simply become accustomed to some crazy, lopsided looking wigs..... Rumor has it that there were "creative differences" going on amongst the camps, and if it's not all the bits of crazy tantrums she has been rumored to throw, maybe her camp is trying to tone  down her image a bit.(especially after that snub from the grammys and wack feud with Mariah Carey.  Anywhoo, Davidson released a statement:

“I would like to inform the media and supporters that I’ve decided to step away as hair stylist and wig creator for Nicki Minaj. It has been an amazing experience offering me a chance to express my creativity and exhibit my love for the art form of wig design. I have decided to part ways from Nicki Minaj because I would like to explore other opportunities within my own brand and re-energize my creativity through work in fashion editorial, beauty consultations, media personality, ‘how-to’ lectures and hair show development. I am very proud of the body of work built with Nicki Minaj and I appreciate the support over the years from fans who’ve expressed love for my craft. Look forward to seeing me larger than life in 2013”

 Me personally, I liked all the craziness she did with her hair, but since she is on American Idol, maybe she should tone it down more because she is not the center of the show. Plus I think she looks more naturally pretty with normal cuts and styles right now. Save that for the next album/ tour and I'm sure you will be right on track with the hair we have come to know and love.

Will YOU Be Watching?



Tonight embarks the beginning of Love and Hip Hop NY (the original) season 3 at 8 p.m. on VH1. I'm interested in seeing what appears to be an entire new cast, with the exception of Yandie and Olivia. The new cast is as follows

  • Rich Dollaz and Erica Mena- Although they were members of the cast from last season, apparently, these two are dating and Erica is currently being manged by Rich, while still being around to manage Olivia, the shows vet member. The previews seems to show a further rift between her and Rich and she does NOT want to work with Mena.
  • Joe Budden- apparently, he is still somewhat of a relevant rapper, maybe just to the up north area. Overall, he most known for his popularity on twitter and living out his former relationship with fellow cast member, Taihry.
  • Taihry-  model, Joe Budden's ex ,and supposed breakout star on the show. By the looks of her, she will definitely have the guys (and gals too!) tongues wagging. I've heard of her before her public relationship with Budden, but she will give LHHA star Joseline Hernandez a run for a money  looks and drama wise. (Joseline is still my fav!:)
  • Raqi Thunda- DJ and radio personality and is supposed a long-time friend of Joe Budden. She has been quoted  calling him her "gay best friend" (um, whatever that is about....) and was on Hot 97 recently where she was dubbed "a professional side- piece" . If im not mistaken she is the one with the red hair and she is NOT a fan of Taihry
  • Consequence- rapper who as I recall was affilated with the likes of rapper Kanye West. He is in a relationship with Jen the Pen, who have a 1-year old son and are going head to head with different religious and cultural belief systems( yawwn....sorry)
  • Winter Ramos- former assistant to rapper Fabulous and is in cahoots to be the next Karrine Stephans by writing a tell- all of former famous boyfriends and such, blah, blah, blah...
  • Rashidah Ali- shoe consultant to the stars and coming out with her own shoe line....
  • Joe Budden's CURRENT Girlfriend Kailyn Garcia-  Welp, a far as I know, she is his current boo and is not a fav of Raqi OR Taihry....*Sighs*

Well, there you have it folks, the run down the new guilty pleasure of the moment. Chile, I have HIGH expectations for this show after LHHATL and hopefully it will be a great boost after the terribly boring BBWLA( hey, I know you were thinking it too.)
