name.plated.chains.

Lately I've been contemplating getting a Name-plated chain.
But being that I am Black, and live in NYC i have to be very cautious about looking too ummm..... stereotypical. lol

So I researched and i likt the monogram necklace initials by Jennifer Zeuner:

kinda pricey but different...

I'm still contemplating especially because i feel like I'm entering my Carrie (SATC) stage of life...

BLK.WMN.2DAY

Recently I lost count of how many conversations I’ve had about black women and the marriage “issue”. Before it wasn’t so often, but I am now mentally and emotionally exhausted about this ish!

Seriously, if I read one more statistic telling me that I have a 30% chance (30, because 70% of black grad students are females, I think it’s safe to say I’ll either be sexing a colleague/grad schools friend or fiercely competing for him) of marrying a black man with the same educational level as myself. #FML.

It seems that these flags are everywhere in my face lately. And honestly, I’m not the kind of girl to worry about when I’ll get married and whatnot. But these effin signs are getting Ri-DIC!

So not only did someone send me this article.

But it was preceded by this tweet from a friend: “Wow, it would suck to be 29+/female/Manhattan w/out a husband on the radar…”

And living in a city where the ratio is 8:1 (female: male), and college educated women are competing balls hard for any man (and yes I mean any man). I am def enjoying “him” and how into me he is.

But back tot he problem: what makes this even scarier is that, women also have to compete with the fact that Black America is still very conservative when it comes to gay marriage. Which is making it harder for Blacks to be honest w the opposite sex about their sexuality = DL brothers, and divorces due to “I’m sorry, I’m gay” (and this goes for both males and females). So if you add that percentage in on top of it, I guess my chances of obtaining my Huxtables family dream = less than 5%.

So I have instituted a new plan/solution = I will enjoy my 20s, travel the world, enjoy my immediate family and my friends, and then move overseas and get married and have a bunch of inter-racial babies! LMAO Inter-racial marriage is progressing in America, but to be quite honest I believe that Black women are more likely to marry a foreign “white” man before an American “white” man.

Now don’t judge me, this is all due to my anal tendency to over-plan. And I have to get this plan in my subconscious, so that I am not disappointed about not having my own “Obama” family. We have to remind ourselves that sacrificing happiness, butterflies and actually being in love and not settling for the “Huxtable dream” when I’m missing those three.

All a girl wants is that “can't-eat, can't-sleep, reach-for-the-stars, over- the-fence, world-series kind of love"

(yeah I can be the sappy girl movie sometimes, sue me). So yeah….

some ppl are settling down. some ppl are settling. and some ppl refuse to settle... for anything less... than butterflies.

I refuse to settle, how about you?

TarajiPStripsdown

Ya'll know i love TarajiP. I've seen her goooinnnn innn at M2 and loved her even more after that... Her new spread for Men's Fitness is hmm... grown sexy. Loves it.

Quotes from the article below Have a Gentleman’s Touch:

“A woman is gentle, soft, delicate, and a man’s position is to protect her-help her up stairs, make sure she’s in the car safely first. Take good care of your woman, and the sky’s the limit!”

Never Give Up on Love:

“Don’t be bitter if a relationship doesn’t work out; it wasn’t meant to be. You can’t be cut off to love because you’re learning and getting closer to the one.”

;-)

BHINES=DC

If you have never seen my love perform, and you live in the DC-Metro area, YOU MUST GO.

I love this boy to death, and he's such an effin musical genius!! He's working on a mixtape right now that should drop by the fall. I'm super excited and stay and @bhinesthereal and @antoinethereal about making sure they stay grinding to get that ish out!

Anyway check him out on TWITTER , or MYSPACE , and if you wanna know what his performance are like, take a look here.

ENJOY!

xoxo,

KimK.blonde?

I think i like it. She looks very miami-honeygolden-ish lol. But did it have to come right after her breakup w Reggie. It kinda screams "I Need a Change". And, as some would say (bc i refuse to acknowledge the end of it) Summer is just about over.

I'm sorry. I draw the line here. I've held my tongue for the past few runway seasons. But now this ish is actually on the streets of NYC, before it was just Paris and Tokyo.

Nope, Couture/Lux brands. keep this one. Please and thanx!

eat.pray.love

I am so happy to announce that they have startwed filming for Eat, Pray, Love. And if you know me you know how much that book means to me.

I have a phrase from the book tatted on my right rib cage.

(If you ask I'll tell, but I'm not putting my body out there lol)

Yes, the book is that deep (to me), and if you havent read it go get it. You could probably finish it in two days.

Anyway, J.Roberts was spotted in the East Village. This just made my morning. YES!!!!

fefe.missedHer.

I have a secret pop rock side. That means Pink, Ashlee Simpson, Fefe Dobson, etc. I think it stems from my love for Kelis. Nonetheless i dont apologize for it. and I hope this isnt just one hit from Fe, but the first release from her album Joy (expected Fall 09), since her last one was cut.

LiLBiggie&Puffy

SuperHead.AtItAgain

I always try to give women credit for making the best of the worst situation.
(And she has done that (side-eye) by exploiting herself :-\ ??)

I cant take her seriously in this interview: secular music, i have no response, i am so far removed from that environment. Girl Stop!



xoxo,

ARose=Complex

A Rose copped a mini spread in the new Complex. Love this girl and to think all she did was eff a rapper. (Sorry ye, no shade, jus bein real)

But they def photoshopped those thighs. She's def thicker than that. Either way loves it!

wendy. iAgree.

Last week, i posted EmDisstoMariah...

I think Wendy summed up how i feel. and im happy she did



xoxo,

;-)

seriously though. is she jus an idiot??

I cant take her seriously. He's dead and gone. She should have got a job, and stopped trying to ride the money train off Pun. He's been dead for how long, and she was still waiting on checks. They should've been an added bonus or a fund for the kids, not what she was relying on to sustain her lifestyle. She has kids, and is a grown A$$ woman. get your ish together.

I do feel bad about her domestic abuse though....

ohRocsi

So last week Rocsi (from 106 & park) confessed to having an eating disorder while younger.

Well, I'm glad she worked that out. I can't imagine her being any smaller than she already is... But with Rocsi and the trailer for "Precious" being on my blog back to back I have to say this:

Please be careful about what you say to others, you never know what they're going through. I speak from experience, bc i had to learn the hard way. I was an official "Mean Girl" in high school, and it took me years to learn that i was effecting someone's self-esteem. I know it's SELF-esteem, but let's be real at that age your peers do have an influence on how high it is.

and here are some fab pics of Rocsi, it's hard to tell from this, but I'm pretty confident she doesnt have that issue anymore...

lovin Roc's shoes...

but Sienna's dress, not so much

hip.hop.heads.

The best hip-hop shows taking place over the next seven days in NYC.

The Rebirth of Hip Hop
S.O.B.'s; August 4 at 8 p.m.; 6 Delancey St., nr. Bowery; 212-533-2111
The name of the showcase is a bit overblown considering it's headlined by Rick Ross hangers-on Triple C. (**My thoughts exactly**) But there are some promising up-and-coming emcees on the bill, including Jay Rock, the man behind the breezy Lil Wayne collaboration "All My Life in the Ghetto," and Queens's own Grafh.

Das Racist
Bowery Ballroom; August 6 at 8 p.m.; 6 Delancey St., nr. Bowery; 212-533-2111
The local duo behind "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell," the Internet novelty song of the moment, aren't exactly what you'd call rap purists. But they're worth seeing live just for the off chance they can extend the good vibes of their so-dumb-it's-genius quasi-hit over a whole night.

Styles P
Southpaw; August 6 at 9 p.m.; 125 Fifth Ave., Park Slope, Brooklyn; 718-230-0236
One third of D-Block, the nineties-rap radio staple formerly known as the Lox, Styles P enjoyed some solo success with 2002's Swizz Beats–produced "Good Times." He's now one of the legions of commercially irrelevant, but still really great, emcees.

Freeway
Southpaw; August 6 and 7 at 9 p.m.; 125 Fifth Ave., Park Slope, Brooklyn; 718-230-0236
Speaking of commercially irrelevant but still really great emcees: Freeway was part of Jay-Z's inner circle through the late nineties and early aughts, but could never quite translate his connections into mass appeal. His recent "Month of Madness," in which he released a new song every day for 31 days, proved his gruff, live-wire flow is as unique is ever.

Big Daddy Kane
Prospect Park Bandshell ; August 8 at 7 p.m.; Prospect Park West at 9th St., Park Slope, Brooklyn; 718-965-8951
Rahzel hosts this free Celebrate Brooklyn! gig, featuring a full live-band performance by the legendary Kane, plus a screening of the documentary BDK: The Big Daddy Kane Story.
**Think this is the only one I'm interested in**
