Real Random

Soo I'm finally caught up on the week of sleep I missed during finals. Yes, it took me ten days haha. But, It seems that chellywellzshop somehow found my post and directed her viewers here! So a big shouout to her because the amount of viewers went up by like 200 in a day!!  So thanks to all those that have been reading the blog and there are plenty more posts to come. Happy Holidays and I hope you all have a good New Year.

Real Talent: Chellywellzshop

So I was on surfing through videos on youtube about hair, makeup and things of that nature when I came across one that I could sit through for more than the 30 seconds my attention span alloted for your average youtube video. Chellywellzshop run by college student Chelsey W. discusses dealing with ways in which to wear natural hair (in both natural and unnatural ways-->weave), fashion on a budget and a plethora of beauty tips for the twenty something year old African-American woman. I also like the fact that she is a college student (like myself...pops collar, air-five-->the whole nine) and doing something on the side to display things the average college student may not be up on . Her niche seems to be hair and she gives excellent tips on what products to use for different textures of black hair. From snooping around (yeah Im something of a youtube fanaticc) I have come to discover that she is very responsive to her youtube subscribers/watchers  and tries her best to answer all questions given her schedule. So I do urge you to check out her page www.youtube.com/chellywellzshop. I've also posted a couple of her videos below for your viewing pleasure!!  

Sidenote :She may not find this funny if she ever reads this, but I think her dancing/lipsinging in the beginning of her videos is HILARIOUS

Real Fab: Rihanna

Now you know at times I feel some type of way towards Rihanna, but I have to admit that I enjoy her presence when she is toned down and not trying so hard (good song btw Rih-Rih) to be different. Check Rih out in a Fall 2009 Alexander Vauthier Couture Dress complete with the  dramatic shoulders that seem to be all the rage this season (I can't believe I just said "all the rage" #whatIlooklike ). I actually love this softer side to Rihanna and would prefer to see it more often. 

Shoutout theybf for the photo: 

Real Fab: Zoe Saldana

This chick has stepped her fashion game up in the past year or so. She had always been cute, but with her look at the  London premiere for her new movie Avatar she had risen above Gorgeous. Zoe is wearing a gown from RM by Roland Mouret. Alright, I see you Zoe. (okay seriously now back to sudying for finals) 

Real Talent

This almost makes me depressed while at the same time inspires me to step my finance game up. While some of us are are always crying broke and nearing 21. This young man is buying up shares of the Nike Corporation while his voice cracks. Check out the video of this 14yr old well on his way to becoming a millionaire. I give major props to his mother for learning from her mistakes and making sure her son did not do the same (applause) She deserves an award (cue Kanye West impromptu entrance)...(back to studying for finals #killme) 

*Shouts out to Bossip for video

Real Random: Young Money and Timbaland

Check out some new videos below...Timbo and Drake came out with a video for my JAM!! Say Something. I think this was a much needed collaboration and both artists put in work on this track...."Its funny how someone's else's success brings pain"--> So True. Young Money also came out with their video for BedRock...finally introducing everyone who was signed to Young Money. I don't know about you, but I was confused about who was really in Young Money. (It seemed like Weezy was signing everyone and their mother at one point ::cough Bow wow, Omarion::)

Real Funny

Now I love me some Beyonce, but when I saw this video I just had to post it. This is in no offense to Mrs. Knowles-Carter because she is one of the hardest working singers in the industry, but you've got to admit at times Sasha Fierce is a little to much. The fact that someone took the time to analyze the "I am...Yours" show and come up with this list makes me laugh even harder. Check the video below...

Sidenote: Shoutout to Bossip for the video.

Real Fake: Angel Lola Love

So I guess to keep her name relevant in the game, angel lola love aka lola monroe became a rapper. I though that to become a rapper you at least had to be able to spit a hot 16 or SOMETHING. It's also evident she is trying to bite off Nikki Minaj's rapping style with the accent and what not. Lola Monroe gets a #sityourfakeassdown (yes I used a twitter tag) for this one. Stick to doing what you do best. If you guys don't remember what that is..here's a reminder...

Real Talent: Justin Bieber

I have fallen head over heels with his young man's voice. The fact that he is the cutest 15 year old ever doesn't hurt either. Canada native Justin Bieber started out uploading his videos on youtube so his family could watch him sing. However, he ended up catching the eye of more than just family. In a short while, he became a youtube sensation garnering attention from Usher and Justine Timberlake. While they were both offering him Record Deals, Justin went with Ursher. The soulful singer has already released two singles and has teeny boppers crying all over the states (I know some college girls stalking his life too...and NO I"m not one of them ::looking around::) Check out some of his homemade videos and his first single One Less Lonely Girl Below. (Look at him moving like usher in his video..SO CUTE)

Real Talk: Why do Men Cheat?

So I"m STILL trying to figure out this whole Tiger Woods story. Did his wife Elin really go "Jazmine Sullivan" on his behind when she heard of his affair(s). I feel that this whole ordeal is going to be in the Top Ten Scandals of 2009 come New Years. Besides that Tiger Woods has it all. He is the top paid athlete in the world and (seems) to have the perfect married life. Sooo What went wrong Tiger? I was gonna let this whole issue go (because what people really need to be focusing on is why more troops are going to Afghanistan) but this topic has fathered numerous trending topics on twitter (#whymencheat #whywomencheat) to which I had to respond. Why do men cheat? Using Tiger Woods as an example lets analyze (what women do best anyways..) Elin recently had a child in February of this year. Was Elin looking a little out of shape?....being that Tiger is a top athlete he must get women throwing themselves at him everyday. So Tiger goes for the freebees...(crowd booing) Elin is also raising 2 children (The couple had a daughter back in 2007). So maybe sex wasn't always number 1 on the agenda. Lo Siento Tigre but while you traveling the world, you're wife has to hold it down at home. Okay, so Tiger slips up and cheat, but Why in the world are numerous women coming out of the woodworks here? Yeah Tiger you've been putting in work and shelling out a lot of money to keep these women's mouths shut to which I say NO. You get a #Fail in my book. There are an infinite amount of reasons as to why men cheat. I just feel like if you're not ready to be in a realtionship or feeling crammed while in one get out! I would rather have a man break up with me and go "do him" than to cheat on me and act like everything is all good. One thing men clearly do not understand yet is that you CANNOT have you cake and eat it too. Therefore this side chick mess has to go. I thought that went out of style with baggy jeans and jersey dresses.

Sidenote: Since when is Ellen spelled Elin...I"m just saying

Real Fab: Drake

So I guess Drake decided to get on his "grown and sexy" status to finish out 2009. No more jeans and gray cardigans for him because on two occasions he decided to whip out a suit and I must the young money rapper looked quite dapper. Drake showed up at the GQ Men of the Year Awards wearing a Gray Tailored Suit and Nicki Minaj (aka Nicki Lewinsky bka Nicki "the Harajuku Barbie"..and the list continues) on his arm. At the 2009 American Music Awards, Drake went with the "all black everything" theme, sans a tie, but still looking like he stepped off the cover of GQ. Alright, I see you Drake.
