KREAYSHAWN Discovers The Dark Side Of The Music Biz!


Since dropping her smashed hit, "Gucci Gucci" Kreayshawn has been constantly in the news week after week. First it was her alleged use of the N-WORD in which GAME and David Banner took shots at her. She's been called a racist, ran up on by Rick Ross/ crew for jokes about him and now her nude pre teen photos are leaked. She is slowly starting to see what the music business is all about and it's a cold cold world. She went HAM on her TUMBLR and expressed her hurt to her fans.  My advice to Kreayshawn is to JUST make music and don't make enemies before you can even make friends. Still love her to death though! Read what she had to say below!

Weezy's "CARTER IV" Gets Bad Reviews From Critics!

On August 28,2011 Lil Wayne dropped the much anticipated album of the year, CARTER IV shortly after his edgy performance at the MTV VMAs. After being released from Rikers Island in November, dropping a mixtape(Sorry 4 The Wait) he finally gave the fans what they wanted. Although I've heard great reviews from fans on the street, critics have been very harsh on Weezy. RollingStone.com gave the rap king 3 1/2 out of 5 stars stating "Weezy doesn't have the same speed-demon intensity he had five years ago." OUCH! He may have received mix reviews stemming from his growing feud with Heavyweight Champ, Jay Z. The two have been taking shots at each other and Weezy is the latest to respond on a track called "Its Good". I personally like the CARTER 4 but I agree, Weezy couldve did much better. But I dont expect nothing to top The Carter and Carter 3....

Estella Boutique; Roswell's Best Kept Fashion Secret!


Estella Boutique; Roswell's Best Kept Fashion Secret.

Kassy Sims

When you live in Atlanta you’re constantly trying to find ways to stand out when it comes to fashion. In Atlanta there is no set way on how to dress. The fashion in Little 5 Points is completely different from the fashion you see in southwest Atlanta. Lately I’ve been on a hunt for a new shopping spot besides Forever 21 and H&M. When I spotted Tameka Foster, Usher’s ex, in the ATL airport, rocking white denim jeans, a cute chiffon top and carrying an orange Hermes Birkin bag my fashion senses woke up. I remembered that Tameka has a boutique in Roswell, GA and after an interviewing her store manager I realized that her store Estella Boutique may be one of Roswell’s best kept fashion secret.

Estella Boutique is owned by Tameka Foster and it specializes in women, men and children wear. You can also shop for a good cause because 25% of the sales go towards the Lost Ones Foundation, which inspires, aids and mentor troubled young women. According to store manager “MJ” the hottest trend featured in Estella now are the “long maxi dresses”. Being that Tameka is a fashion stylist and she’s used to catering to various styles she incorporated that into the different products inside. Grammy award winner Kandi also has a boutique, TAGS, in Smyrna, GA but MJ promised it’s nothing like Estella. “Estella doesn’t just sell clothes, everything is on sale, the clothes, furniture, the chairs you sit in, the lamps you see and the candles you smell in the air. The classic atmosphere is what sets it apart from other boutiques”. Estella is located on 1159 Canton Street, Roswell GA. You can follow @EstellaBoutique on Twitter to receive first dibs on special discounts.

Derek returns as a judge on Hair Battle Spectacular which airs on Oxygen, Mondays at 10pm.

Heel Condoms; Revamp Your Heels and Strut!


Tired of wearing the same heels all the time? Are you ready to retire those boring black sling back pumps? Before you bag up your old heels, try a heel condom. I know you’re wondering, what the heck is a heel condom. They are an easy, cost effective way to jazz up a pair of heels without paying thousands of dollars for a pair of Christian Louboutins, Alexander McQueen or Manolo Blahniks. The heel condoms come in variations, from lace, feathers, fur or flowers. You simply slip them onto the heel of your shoe and strut your stuff. Remember our role as reccesionistas is to look fashionable for less, right? So if you’re iffy about a heel condom being delivered to your house, spruce your heels with studs. I spotted this look while attending a meeting at Brian Lamar’s Atlanta boutique Spotlight. My wondering eyes spotted a pair of boots decorated with studs. Although these boots were intentionally made like this it gave me an idea. You can add studs to your heels or add shoe jewelry to your Steve Madden pumps similar to VH1’s Emily B (Fabolous ex).

Watch Out Wiz! AMBER ROSE Wants To Have Babies& Get Married!

 Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa has been very opened about their whirlwind romance. From the red carpet to concerts the two lovebirds has showed their affection to the world and basically anyone who would watch. Amber is now stating that she's ready for marriage and kids with her boo. “We’re definitely going to get married and have babies. Not right now because we’re still busy and we still want to enjoy each other first. We want to go on vacation, travel and just enjoy each other company, but he’s definitely the one. We’re definitely going to lay it down and get it done.” With her 28th birthday approaching, Amber says her biological clock is ticking and her  "maternal instinct is ready". I've been following these two since the beginning and the love really do seems genuine. I wish these two the best.

Gucci Mane Wants To Collaborate With KREAYSHAWN!

While other rappers are dissing and bashing West coast rapper Kreayshawn, Gucci Mane is admiring her. In a recent interview with SOHH he revealed that he's a fan of the "Gucci Gucci" artist and would like to work with her. "I think she hard," Gucci told SOHH when asked what he thinks about KREAYSHAWN. "She's got it. I seen a couple [of her videos] on the Internet and I think she goes hard. I could see us [hooking up musically] in Atlanta. Definitely. I would love to work with her." Rappers like The Game and David Banner have made disses toward Kreayshawn for her ALLEGED use of the N-WORD but that hasn't altered Trey Songz or Weezy judgement. Both Weezy and freaky Trey have done their own version of "Gucci Gucci". I just love this chick and I think she will make a splash in the rap game.

Abercombie and Fitch Offers To Pay "The Situation" To Stop Wearing Their Clothes!


You usually hear of clothing brands offering to pay celebs to wear their clothes but not with Abercrombie and Fitch.

They released a press released saying"We believe this association is contrary to the aspirational nature of our brand, and may be distressing to many of our fans,"......and their "deeply concerned that Mr. Sorrentino's association with our brand could cause significant damage to our image."

JOIN THE TREND OF GOING NATURAL!


Join The Trend Of Going Natural; Check Out The Benefits.

Kassy Sims



          A lot of African American women are saying “So Long” to their lengthy locks and going natural. The thought of no perms or the option of cutting your hair tends to scare off the beginners. As I dove deep into the natural fad I realized that there are plenty of benefits to joining the natural society. Instead of hiding under a scarf or hats on bad hair days you can rock a natural fro or curl. By becoming natural you will develop a relationship with your hair and enjoy the versatility and freedom of rocking a natural look.

          It’s important to keep in mind that perms aren’t always the best thing for your hair. The chemicals used in perms are the same chemicals used to make drain cleaners to unclog sinks. It is even used to remove fur from animals in the leather making industry. So would you want these chemicals in your hair every month? One advantage of becoming natural is having much thicker hair. Your hair won't be so thin and break off easily which in turn makes it grow longer and stronger. There are a lot of new stylists who specialize in natural hair since the trend is becoming more popular.

          The second benefit is VERSITILITY. You will have more freedom to do more hair styles. Even though it may be difficult to maintain your natural hair, without the chemicals your hair will be more healthier and flexible. You have seen the benefits and hopefully decided to take the journey into natural hair land. Many celebrities have jumped on board such as Jill Scott, Kelis, Lauryn Hill, Lenny Kravitz, Macy Gray, and Monique Coleman. Next you will have to decide how will you make the transition from relaxed hair to natural hair. Just keep in mind- you are not your hair and your hair doesn’t define you.



         

Say Hello To Fashionable Bikini CoverUps!


Say Hello To Fashionable

Bikini Cover Ups.

Kassy Sims



          After stuffing  your face at summer BBQ’s you may be a little skeptical to sashay around the beach in a bikini. Many women resort to a beach cover up which can be a tank, denim shorts or tunic. Many celebrities are throwing away the bulky cover ups and hitting the beach in style. Their replacing regular tunics with rompers, sarongs, and sun dresses.  With the right cover up, accessories and sandals you can manipulate people to forget that you’re even wearing a stringy bikini underneath.

          Rihanna gave the fashion world something to gossip about when they snapped pictures of her relaxing in Barbados this week. The red head beauty was wearing a nude bikini top with matching bottoms but something was covering it up. That something was her loose fitting, high waist, tribal print cover up pants. These pants are to die for and can compliment any figure. This effortless look by Rihanna puts her selection of cover up at the top of the list for summer. This is for people who are subconscious about their backside and lower body areas.


After giving birth to her son over a year ago, Kendra Wilkerson was photographed poolside in Vegas wearing a very flattering romper. This look is for women who need a looser fit on the stomach region but are more than ready to show off their buns. If you’re the risky type you can take a page out of Beyonce’s book and try a safari print chiffon tunic. This easy breezy tunic with a nice margarita will have all eyes on you at the beach. No need to hide behind a T-shirt or towel, there are plenty of affordable sexy cover ups that works for any style and figure.
