Kanye & Amber partying it up

Kanye & girl Amber were spotted shopping in New York before going out and partying it up at the M2 Lounge. Definitely a fan of these two.

Body Image

After watching today's episode of 106 & Park, I started really thinking about body image and how much the media affects us as women. We strive so hard to look like these models, singers, or actresses and to be 'perfect' but why? Because we have such tainted images and definitions of what beauty is, a lot of us are hurting ourselves by dangerous dieting, undergoing surgeries to fix what we don't like, and we exercise to an alarming extent. My best friend of seven years has been talking about how much she wants liposuction, a tummy tuck, a breast lift, and all other kinds of procedures for the past three years and it baffles me. I asked her countless times why she wants all this stuff and she barely has a valid argument. I honestly think she saw some celebrity and is trying to imitate what she saw. She's striving towards perfect but that's impossible. No one is perfect and I wish people would understand that. She's even confessed to me that she's jealous of me because I'm light-skinned. I think its absolutely absurd for her to be jealous of me because of my skin color. She's what society would say is 'dark skinned' but I love her color. She's constantly saying she's 'black' but I don't see it. I love her brown complexion and the way she looks and I wish she would learn to love herself the way she is.

I've dealt with body image issues my whole life. I've never been fully satisfied with the way I look but I accept what I can't change and work to fix what I can. I wish I had long flowing hair but I don't. Even with all the different ethnicities in my family, I still have 'black hair'. When I was younger I used to get teased because my hair was so thick and coarse and having a mother who's a tomboy didn't help either. I kept my hair in braids for majority of a life and didn't learn how to properly take care of it until I was 15. Now my top priority is making sure my hair is healthy. I never liked my weight either. It's been up and down for as long as I can remember and I initially joined the track team in high school in hopes of losing weight. I was put through rigorous training six days a week, three hours a day. I stole diet pills like Xenadrine Ultra and took them all the time. I ate about two or maybe even one meal a day because I wanted my body to be 'perfect'. There have been so many times where I cried myself to sleep because I hated myself.

But hate gets you nowhere. I've learned to love myself the way I am and accept the fact that I'll never be a size 2. I love my hips, lips, thighs, skin, hair, breasts and butt. There's always room for improvement so exercise is a must but I don't overdue do it. Women, we must learn to love ourselves and stop striving to reach these unattainable goals. Most of us will never be Beyonce, Amber Rose, Alicia Keys, or whoever. We have to love what God blessed us with and learn to work it because we are fabulous in our own right.

two of my fav. girls

Ms. Amber Rose & Nicki Minaj. They were spotted hanging outside at the AMW (America's Most Wanted) concert. Loves these two.

Mmmm...Faboloso

WET PANTIES WEDNESDAY!

Hola! This week I'm very happy I found this beautiful specimen of a man. He currently plays for the Washington Redskins (he soooo needs to come to the Eagles) and I'm sure you've seen him for the tribute to "The Game" in the last issue of vibe. So here we go, the fourth edition of WPW featuring my new baby Devin Thomas.

Loso's Way Album Review

Just like I thought, this album is incredible. My baby Fabolous really took his time, recollected himself, and gave us a classic album. "Loso's Way" is full of enticing beats and hot lyrics and is his most personal album to date. A few of my personal favorites on the album are "I Miss My Love," "Stay" featuring the incredibly talented Marsha Ambrosius, "Last Time" featuring my other love Trey Songz, "I'mma Do It" featuring Kobe (no, not Kobe Bryant) and "Salute" featuring Lil' Wayne.

"Stay" has been stuck in my head all day. On the track Fabolous is telling how his father left him and how he wasn't much of a father to him. He also mentions his son, who he affectionally calls Joso. He tells of the precious moments he has with his son and how he doesn't have time for the industry's drama.

"Salute" is a certified banger. "Your highest title, numero uno, I'm not that little pregnant white girl but Juno..." I wanted to die when I heard that line. Fab went so hard on his verse and Wayne did his thing too but Fab owned this track. Wayne didn't say anything memorable on the track and his verse was kind of blah to me. The chorus was stuck in my head after I heard this song though. This is the type of track that you roll down your windows and bump in the car.

"Everything, Everyday, Everywhere" is another one of my favorites. It's Fab's newest single and everytime I hear it I wanna dance. It's definitely one of those songs that'll get your hips moving in the club. (If you haven't heard it or seen the video, I posted it down below)

I'm glad I decided to buy "Loso's Way" because it didn't disappoint me at all. I wish the "Throw it in the Bag" remix with Drake would've been on the album but its all good. You can definitely listen to this from start to finish without skipping anything. This album is well worth your money so go buy it, don't download it. And also don't forget to check out the movie with the same name as the album. Fabolous just put pressure on a lot of rappers to step their game up.

honorable mention.
