..... does she ever smile?!??!
She just creeps me the fuk out! *cringes*
Yesterday was WWW,it was a SUCCESS, but then again I'm not surprised, I have said it before and I will say it again, Shannae does NOT PLAY when it comes to putting together an event, she puts her all into it so I def. salute her for that.
I showed up a little late...as usual, Kenza and I were running around trying to get our nails done THEN i realized that they forgot to remove the sensor from my dress!! It was raining! I was sans cam so I'm just gonna have to wait for other people to post their pix up :)
It was a great vibe, by the time we got there the sun started to shine YAY! I ran into a lot of people I haven't seen in a while. Towards the end we had SO MUCH FUN, everyone started dancing to Soca lol it was hilarious!
Janet looked great (of course) and she loved what I was wearing, she said she was going to put me on her "What Are You Wearing" section on her BLOG click there to check it out ;)

"...I've spent most of my life trying to avoid being hated. And I remember when I first started writing this blog and other columns, someone said it would take awhile for me to find my voice...I've spent a lot of hours lately trying to understand why we do the things we do. And as I've gained confidence in my understanding, I've ventured forth more and more often to provide my view of things. Generally I've had great responses to this writing, but every so often I get negative comment and I've noticed the tone of these has been more and more vitriolic as I've "found my voice".
I remember someone saying once you know you're hitting the right cords when you polarize your audience and people either hate you or love you. If you're in the middle, you're just boring...it's a little shocking when someone takes the time to comment that your writing is "tripe", "long and extremely wind baggy" and "self serving". On the other side, numerous people have also commented that they find my writing "thoughtful" and "insightful". As hard as it seems to be for me to accept, this must mean I'm doing something right. At least people are taking the time to comment. I guess I just have to develop a thicker skin."- Gord
I came across this piece on Gord's blog, I can def. relate to what he is saying, I have always been surrounded with successful, talented, beautiful inside and out friends/family members/acquaintances/coworkers who work hard and nothing is ever handed to them, I'm sure they can relate to this too. The only problem i have with people "hating" is the fact that they always hide behind an anonymous shield and they are the first ones to smile at you in public, I guess it's all part of growing up and developing thicker/careless skin.
PS: internet thugin'is NOT cute

I knew Micheal was a big deal when he had us all in love with his music in Morocco singing along to his songs without even speaking the English language. I loved him so much i took a picture of him to my hairdresser back when I was 11 and asked for the same "you are not alone" haircut, I even ripped my t-shirt into a V neck when I seen that he had that in one of his videos. I'm sure everyone has a memory that has to do with him and he will never be forgotten.
R.I.P
Our condolences go out to Micheal Jackson's loved ones.
I don't know about you but I LOVE COLD STONE! i was introduced to it VIA an ex when I went to visit him in Denver, we went there i got the chocolatiest thing on there and he got Strawberry Cheesecake, his looked waaaay better than mine so of course i took his and it was HEAVENLY DELICIOUS, at that time i have NEVER had cheesecake in my life simply because the thought of cheese...and cake...didn't sit right with me (i know that's silly but don't judge me) the point of this story here is cold stone and Tim Horton's are getting together to make my dreams come true. Thank you Jesus for answering my prayers.
Locations i heard about:
Bay South of Bloor (Across from Manulife)
Danforth/Logan
people are too into the words "love" and "soul mate" these days. understand that you should never look for love, it will find you. if you keep that in mind then you will probably spend a little less time looking like a fool and a little more time enjoying this wonderful thing called life. word !
I always come across those "Designer" shoes/bags websites...
My question to you is: Would you cop the knockoff??
If yes: When someone asks where you got it at would you tell the truth? or would you say Holt's lol
If No: Why not??
I have never got anything knockoff because I don't really see the point and back in the day i used to always be kinda shook that someone that gets the real thing can tell my shit is fake so i never fuked with it, I believe that if you can't afford it don't even go there.

"Belt-tightening is about to take on a whole new meaning.
An Australian undergarment manufacturer has developed a body-shaping undershirt that promises to do for men what Wonderbra did for women.
The so-called Core Precision Undershirt by Equmen, which launched in North America last week, promises to "sculpt, tone and improve body mechanics."
"They fit like a second skin, delivering the ultimate fusion of fashion and function," the company's website boasts. Holt Renfrew is the first Canadian retailer to carry the line and expects to have stock available for sale later this month.
"It's an opportunity for men to look as good as we do," quipped Holt Renfrew menswear sales associate Jacqueline Mills from the high-fashion retailer's Bloor St. store yesterday.
And if the buzz around the new "man-girdle" is any gauge, men are just as anxious to strut their stuff in form-fitting clothing as women.
"We've received more than a dozen calls in the last three days from customers asking us when it's going to arrive," said David Labrecque, divisional manager for Holt's menswear department.
"It's done very well in Europe and that's why we picked it up," he said.
Labrecque, who describes his physique as "average for a 47-year-old," gave the undershirt a test drive earlier this spring and said it improved his posture – and his profile.
"People who saw me wearing it definitely said there was a noticeable difference," he said.
The design, which uses the criss-cross techniques of physiotherapy taping to lift and separate the shoulders, supports and compresses the torso.
"It takes a little bit of getting used to because it is fairly tight-fitting," Labrecque acknowledged.
But he said the garment's body-slimming features shaved inches off his 5-foot 9-inch, 180-pound frame.
"Combine that with better posture and you definitely look better," he said.
The high performance undershirts will sell for between $90 and $98.
Body firming briefs by the same manufacturer will sell for between $50 and $65."
