TAKE CARE OF OUR LITTLE B.A.P.S...LOL

Recently, there has been a lot of talk about black celebrity figures hating on dark-skineed women and girls. From people making rachet comments about Snoop Dog's little Godiva drop to Lil Wayne proclaiming "light is right" there has been so much self-hatred. This is so bothersome to me. Why don't "We" understand that taking care of our own is where it's at? I'm not sure if we'll ever do better but I'm certain we need to!!!

OOTD...DREAM CHASING

 Last weekend, me and the Love finally had a chance to spend some time together. We decided to head down to my favorite place in DC, Eastern Market!! Coincidently, it was also the day before Labor Day so I decided to pull out a white ensemble to bid adu to the summer. Secretely I'm sooooo ready for fall...boots and jackets and jeans oh my:) After iced coffee and lunch at the best Thai place in DC (San Phan), we headed to the MLK Mermorial. It was really beautiful and worth a trip to DC if you don't already live in the area! Enjoy the Ensem!

Good Day Truth Seekers! Lately I've been listening to a lot more rap music. I call it rap rather than hip hop because in my eyes that's what it is. Commercial laden urban music that speaks to a demographic which seeks to use little brain power to enjoy it. Sorry if that offended anyone, but it is what it is. So anywhoo, my brother let me burn his Watch The Throne cd and I found myself nodding my head to one track in particular that features Frank Ocean, "No Church in the Wild". The beat is so amazing, I think I ignored the words. That may have been the wrong thing to do. This morning while browsing my favorite gossip site Bossip I stumbled upon this song...

CHECK MY SUMMAFRESH

As promised, I am back and bloggin! In the future, I'll probably do an OOTD(outfit of the day) type of post. However, to catch you all up on "my" summer style here are a few pictures and outfit details. Enjoy!

CHECK MY FRESH!:)

So I have really been meaning to blog more. I promise I have. It seems I have so much to say and then nothing at all at the same time. A friend of mine advised me however, to blog about what interests me at any given moment. It was like a light bulb went off in my head! Initially, that's what I wanted to do but it seemed too scatter-brained. But guess what? The "true stories in my mind" are just that! My mind is constantly all over the place! So new rules:

JUST STOP IT!

"Don't worry about why I got a perm...dem niggas ova der plankin!"

So, unless you have been on another planet lately, you've heard about the recent rash of "Planking" that has hit all social media outlets. For those of you vacationing on Mars, the United States has finally cought on to what was originally coined, "The lying down game." In this game, people find odd places to lie face down with their arms and hands at their sides. The participant(s) is then photographed and the photos are usually uploaded to some social media outlet for their friends and others to laugh at. Sounds harmless, right?

"MY COUSINS, MY COUSINS"

This weekend I visited my hometown of Rochester, NY, a place I usually avoid like the plague. However, this visit was such a great one I had to share it with my "Truth Seekers".

FATHER'S JOHN

THINKING ABOUT A CHILDHOOD MEMORY, I WAS MOVED TO LOOK UP FATHER'S JOHN. I'LL GIVE A $1 TO THE FIRST PERSON THAT CAN TELL ME WHAT THAT IS! GO ON, GOOGLE IT...I'LL WAIT:)

WHAT IN THE HOT MESS WAS THAT???

Last month my boyfriend gave me one of the best presents ever; tickets to see Lauryn Hill live at the House of Blues in Atlantic City!! In anticipation of the show, I let my birthday come and go with out much fanfare. I mean, I was going to see Ms. Hill tear the stage up! I ignored the recent press and 10 days after my birthday took the short drive to AC with my boo to see the living legend live. All I can say is the show was...

Back On It...I think
