Tyra’s New Venture

posted by:
Tyra Banks, whose weight has undergone visible fluctuations after she left the runway, has always been a champion of plus-size models. She makes a point to recruit some curvier girls for her model competition reality show on the CW, ‘America’s Next Top Model,’ helping to launch the careers of former contestants Toccara Jones and Cycle 10 winner Whitney Thompson.
Now she’s using ‘The Tyra Show’ to find the latest and greatest young plus-size modeling talent.

Banks is encouraging plus-size teens age 13-19 to enter to win the “The Fiercely Real Model Search.” The winner, who must be size 12-20 to qualify, will win a one-year Wilhemina modeling contract, a fashion spread in and a cover photo on Tyra’s Magaline and a spread in a major fashion magazine. The winner will be announced on Tyra’s talk show March 3rd.

“I’ve always felt it was my mission to expand the narrow perceptions of beauty; through ‘America’s Next Top Model,’ ‘True Beauty’ and ‘The Tyra Show’ I challenge industry and universal standards by featuring and celebrating non-traditional beauty, and stressing that true beauty is both inside and out,” Banks said. “Adolescence is such an impressionable time in a young woman’s life, and I hope this contest helps teen girls discover their own beauty from the inside out.”

“Sex Sells?”

posted by:

I meant to post this a while back, but the recent pics of Kim Kardashian for Ocean Drive was a great reminder. So tell me what is being sold in the video you are about to see…(only if you have access to youtube)

Who said that salads can’t be hot?” *Blank Stare, Confused BBM faces*

Ok there are sooooo many things wrong with this commercial. I have so many thoughts and questions….here is my list…

1. Why isn’t she using a fork? It is salad…who really eats lettuce and chicken (that’s not fried, a wingette, or a tender) with their fingers (BARBARIANS and people with no home training)

2. Did they really have to zoom in on her lips and breast like that with the dripping the salad dressing? (Not necessary and kind of ruins my appetite)

3. Do you really eat grilled chicken salads while taking a bubble bath? I could understand a few pieces of fruit (with a fork or some utensil)….and then again I come back to my point of her not using a fork….soap suds and salad yummmm *sarcasm*

4. Is this really a good tactic to get people to eat salad? What would you really say if you saw a person eating like this? I would just stare….

5. Salad is not even a “sexy” food dish

This is when selling sex goes way tooooo far. Selling salad? What’s next toilet paper? I hope not

Lol ok here are photos from Kim K’s photo shoot for Ocean Drive

 

Spoiled Goodies: The KKK Attention Seekers

posted by:

I am really tired of the KKK…yes I said it the KKK…Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney!! I know you are thinking, “well why are you blogging about them?” This is my place to vent about foolishness! I saw this on Bossip yesterday and I just don’t get it…

foolishness

Ok so here is my list of what is wrong with this picture and why I am fed up!

  1. How old is “Single Ladies”? You choose now to do your “own” version…the leotard look has been duplicated and triplicated (no it is not a word) a million times. Be ORIGINAL…
  2. None of you are on Beyonce’s level. This is disrespectful towards her. She didn’t become famous because of a sex tape
  3. Khloe REALLY looks like a man…like a serious transvestite…smh
  4. Kourtney looks like she is about to POP (Although she had the baby since the photo) Like they couldn’t wait til after she gave birth?
  5. Pack up the leotards! It is 2 degrees outside (That goes for Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Amber Rose, and all of the other leotard wearing female celebrities)
  6. They just look like cheap imitations.

I will say though their makeup is FLAWLESS. The contouring of the cheeks is ON POINT!! Kudos to the makeup artist! Other than that this pic is an #epicfail (IMO)

Mariah Carey + Nicki Minaj = Life Size Dolls?

posted by:

dolls

Mariah Carey has teamed up with Nicki Minaj for her next single “Up Out My Face.” This looks like its going to be interesting. I can understand Nicki as the doll since she considers herself the Harajuku Barbie but what is Mariah doing? I guess desperate times call for desperate measures. She is probably trying to reach the younger crowd to get those album sales up.

Brooklyn’s Finest-Trailer

BrooklynsFinest325

Brownsville We Made It! Lol ok I should not glorify the negativity, but I was born and raised in Brownsville, and this place has helped shape who I am today. I have a Love/Hate relationship with Brownsville. I hate all of the negativity associated with it. Every time I say I’m from Brownsville people would say…”don’t rob me.” SMH Everyone from the hood is not a criminal. I do love the fact that I learned a lot from this place. I learned and realize that I wanted to be better then the perceived person from Brownsville. Brownsville has made me tough and get thicker skin, and also just be thankful I did not succumb to the negativity. Well we are going to see the good, the bad, and the ugly not only about Brownsville, but Brooklyn in general.

Wesley Snipes, Don Cheadle, Richard Gere, and Ethan Hawke have all teamed up for what is projected to be one of the biggest movies of the Spring “Brooklyn’s Finest” from the producers of “Training Day” I don’t think you could have asked for a better cast! You have the “good cop” (Don Cheadle) who is working undercover to bring justice, then you have “the corrupt grimey cop” (Ethan Hawke) who is an opportunist and tries to capitalize on all of the ‘dirty money’ (smh Ethan) then you have the “I don’t care, I’m getting ready to retire cop” (Richard Gere) who just wants to get out of the force because he put his time in. Then you have the big time drug dealer (Wesley Snipes and his extensions lol).

I will definitely be in the theaters. I need to see my hood on the big screen lol…ok not really but it looks like a great movie! Training Day and New Jack City revamped…gotta love it! Check the trailer.

CooCoo for Jimmy Choo

posted by:

jimmy-choo-collection-h-m-thumb-560x418

The Jimmy Choo x H&M Collection finally hit stores this weekend, and THE LADIES WENT CRAZY! I must say that H&M did have a a great plan. They gave every 20 shoppers 10 minutes to do their shopping from the Jimmy Choo collection of shoes and handbags. One woman said she was prepared to get “physical”

People came from all over the country for this launch. One woman and her friend came from Philadelphia and joined the line that started at 9pm around 10:30pm for these shoes.  The store opened at 10:00am. One woman spent $300 on 3 pairs of shoes at H&M and would have spent $1500 if she would have bought original Jimmy Choo’s. One woman spent $7,000 on shoes, boots, accessories, and clothes for herself and her family.

I understand that many women live for labels, but is it that serious? The collection of shoes, handbags, and clothes is great and the prices ae reasonable, but I wonder if these women realize that the collection is there to stay? Do they realize that the stock will be replinished? They were truly acting like savages just for a label.  I am not against the Jimmy Choo x H&M collection, in fact, I will be making my rounds to H&M when the hype dies down, but they are truly acting like savages. I guess its like back when I was in middle school and high school when we used to go crazy for Jordans, so this is the same huh? I guess this is the adult high-end version of people acting like neanderthals huh. I  laughed when I read this article in the DailyNews.

I can’t get over the fact that the woman spent $7,000 on the collection. If you have 7Gs to blow at H&M I’m pretty sure you have a pair of Jimmy Choo’s somewhere. The bosses in the H&M and Jimmy Choo offices are sitting back smiling now. They launched at the perfect time. Just in time for the holidays.

 

Really Random: Hello Kitty?

posted by:

This is really random I know, but I thought this was the funniest thing ever!!! The cat looks so confused like “why did this crazy lady (or man…highly doubt it though) put this on me? Lol…people are so “CREATIVE” when it comes to their  pets! I remember one day a few years ago I was on Fulton st and I saw a white and brown pitbull in a red snorkel (NY term) jackets and some Timberland booties on. I was just as confused as I am now. I’m waiting to see someone attempt to dress up a gold fish or hamster…
