Cosmos&Lipstick: 2011

Well damn… Good morning to you too!

One of my morning rituals when I first open u my eyes, is looking for my Iphone.

You know, just the usual: checking my at whastapp messages,

checking the e-mails and of course reading what happened overnight on Twitter!

I love social media…I practically LIVE in Twitterville!

I know what happens back in the US without hollering at my cousins, friends & other people I know, without drastically damaging my phone bill!

So as I was getting to the beginning of my timeline, I saw a very INTERESTING re-tweet that was made by one the people that I follow (@Marisa_Lisse … check her out she is the business!)

of one of Rihanna’s tweets.

Now for the people who know me, they know that Rihanna is not one of my favourite entertainers in the industry. But THIS I had to know more about.

In the re-tweet Rihanna lashes out at the Chief Editor of the Dutch glossy "Jackie"

So ya’ll know I got curious and rolled out of bed (ON MY FREE DAY!!!), put my laptop on & while it was starting, I looked for the second tweet of Rihanna.

And there it was…the big “FUCK YOU” to the Chief Editor by Rihanna.

The reason for this whole “Twitter Beef” was because the editor had made a comment about the black female race and used the words “Nigga Bitch” to describe it

AND on top of this FOOLISHNESS had linked Rihanna to it.

Now for the people who follow Rihanna, ya’ll know she ain’t the type to be all cordgial about something if it bothers her…she will speak her mind out and tell your ass like it is (not always a good thing, but hey…ain’t this what GOOD GIRLS GONE BAD do?)

Calling the Jackie a “Magazine that is a poor representation of the evolution of human rights!”

I don’t always agree with what Rihanna doe’s but

THIS RIGHT HERE deserves a STANDING OVATION!

How the hell did these people over at Jackie come up with stuff like this?? I know this ain’t America & people are surely not going to start a freaking sequel to the LA riot, but I for sure as hell don’t think THIS is appropriate in the year 2011!

Com on now!

If “Jackie” was thinking of a new way to make their magazine more interesting, by just throwing things in there…well they have what they wanted… MORE PRESS!!!

As a pr student, I can say that even if you get bad press…you are still in the spotlight! Good press, bad press…PRESS IS PRESS! People are going to talk about you, mention you and whatever.

At the end of the day you get what you wanted….MORE EXPOSURE!

I for one thing know for SURE this story is going to land “Jackie” on ALL of the top international blogs!

Good job Jackie! *in my most SARCASTIC voice*

Quote of the day: Messing with Rihanna is bad for your health…but good for YOUR pr?????

Rihanna Lashes out at Dutch Chief Editor of "Jackie" magazine!

How the hell am I going to carry all this?

Well I’m just done packing all of my stuff for tomorrow. I just can’t wait to be back in

Paris!!!

I posted a picture of my suitcase on Twitter & people started going crazy, because it looked like I packed my stuff as if I was moving to another country.

T o be honest, that suitcase is on of the smallest ones we have at home!

(so imagine how BIG my suitcase would actually look like if I did decide to move ! lol!)

I had to run down town to buy some last min. stuff to add to my suitcase.

I know I’m only going for 3 days, but let’s not forget people…

I’m a BLACK GIRL!

Meaning I carry a lil’ more stuff than your average girl next door:

10 different types of hair/weave lotions, scarves to wrap around my hair at night,

body lotion, night/ day cream, nail polish kit, combs & brushes, make up, hair straightener,

hairdryer, heels, flats, slippers for in the shower, bathrobe, bags, eyelashes...

And the list go’s on & on.

So you see people….my suitcase isn’t that big, considering the fact that

I’m only bringing 6 outfits (3 during the day time & 3 during the evenings).

And of course I need to make sure that my weave looks on point! We all know that the French notice every thing. So I can’t afford to slip up while strolling down the “Champs Elysees”, Chanel, Christian Louboutin and not to forget “Galeri La Fayette!

Anyways, back to my story…. So I worked on my French Fashion this morning to get me in the mood for tomorrow….and I felt like such a Parisian Fashionista. I was rocking my mother’s vintage Chanel tweed blazer with an oversized black belt, a beret & some pearls to finish the look.

I ran into one of my friends, telling me to look out once I get there, because I already looked like a ran Paris!

Well I have a few lil’ things to add to my bag & I’ll be off to bed for my beauty sleep.

We’ll keep in touch!

The Wind has had NO RESPECT for my weave today! Well it looks like “Hurricane Season” has hit The Netherlands! This windy season that i...

I’m having a Sex & The City-moment!

I know that when you reach a certain age, you start to look at some things in life differently.

Now that I’m 22 I’m starting to understand what some of my older girlfriends used to tell me about some of the things that I used to think is “basic info that I don’t need”

I always taught that being in a relationship would bore me the hell out of my mind…guess I was wrong, since Le Boyfriend and I have been together for about a year now. Who knew that it would come this far. Somebody must have prayed very hard on this one.

Allot of woman have gotten themselves to be “the other woman”.

You know that when someone refers to you as “the other”

you as bad as Michael Jackson’s moonwalk!

Ain’t nobody (except for certified hood rats) wanting to hold this title…

at least that’s what I thought!

I did a little research, spook to some girls & even got my self stuck in a few situations…

but then it struck me down like lightning on a stormy day.

If other women would keep their men in check, ain’t nobody needed to head to

the hospital for some blows that were giving to the head.

Let’s keep it real for a minute. The reason why guys look at other woman, is because those “others” give them what they don’t get at home. I’m talking about emotional support/ a good time and etc.

The biggest thing that men look for outside of the household, would have to be TEMPTATION! Every woman that has something else to offer then your basic ass, looks tempting to them….and we all know that men LOVE temptation!

Why is it that when a guy cheats with another girl, he will find a way to hide it as “good” as he (thinks) he can, but then when he get’s caught all of a sudden his ass got amnesia. Starts to apologize and making stuff up.

For the dumb birds that sticks with a guy like that, all I can say is :

“ Girl, he did it once, he’s going to do it again”

To all you females out there who are NOT sure if their man is faithful, do me a favour and make sure you do a background check on his ass before you hit the “ we are meant to be together” road

I’ve been called “the other girl” a few time by some chicks who couldn’t handle their men. I never did anything with them, all they wanted was somebody to talk to. So I did my part.

But when you wanna have the guts to call me in the middle of the night saying that you want ME to leave your man alone….sweetie you best believe I’m about to go H.A.M. on your ass.

Ya’ll know I don’t play no games, so after the girl hung up, I called her man right back (knowing very well they were together!) I made it clear that I wasn’t playing no games and the next time she called, I would take it to the next level. I hung up and continued my beauty sleep!

Basically what I’m trying to say is, if you have somebody who makes it a habit to stick his hands in somebody else’s cookie jar … you better kick his ass to the curb.

You can’t teach an old dog new tricks!

And for “the other women” out there, Karma won’t be nice to you if you haven’t been nice to her!
