2013 Golden Globes Red Carpet Arrivals "Top Looks"

Amy Adams in her Marchesa Gown blush-colored mermaid gown with an angelic-like makeup. 

Fashion-Faux-Pas: Overall beautiful look only thing I would say is its almost monochromatic with the dress color almost blending into her skin-tone 

Eva Longoria in Emilio Pucci very sultry looks with a decadence lace pattern with an extremely high split with a similar theme in the bodice with a plunging V-neckline.

Fashion-Faux-Pas: The dips & splits are broader-lining into the risqué area for me.

Rosario Dawson light powder blue gown of sophistication with the popular peplum theme skirt. A very fresh-face look, love it. 

Fashion-Faux-Pas: Very safe & classic look.

Bonus Look: Taylor Swift

I have to say this is a very different & mature look for Taylor Swift in a mermaid Donna Karan Atelier gown



Fashion-Faux-Pas: When looking at the dress straight on its not very exciting at first but is simply stunning from the back. Also the fabric and straps reminds me of a 90's prom dress.

Winner Look: 

Jessica Alba peach-colored Oscar de la Renta

Bollywood Crush: Fashion, Music, ... etc

I remeber the exact moment when I was formally introduced to the Bollywood scene was when I was at my local beauty salon. My hairstylist loves to watch Sopa Operas, Hatian Movies, and African movies. I for one never cared for Sopa Operas let alone American sopa operas. They always seem over the top and unrealistic for my taste life does not come with a dramatic soundtrack and revovle around twenty people living in a small town. The vibrant colors of their attire caught my attention at first and the romantic story line followed the show was called Kitani Mohabbat Hai and I fell in love with the main characters like America fell in love Rose&Jack, Edward&Bella, but this time it was Ahori&Arjun. But what amaze me throughout the whole tv series is that they never actually kissed on screen, and there was 175 episodes !!! In this heavily over-sexaulized society we like to see that magical kiss or passionate scene between the two star-crossed lovers. But I realized that isn't always need to keep your viewers hooked. It was the simple art of true courtship that I admire between the two characters. Though it is in Hindi english subtitles are provided. Here's a preview...

Relaxed vs. Natural : What #Team are you ?

       My hair is relaxed and I love it! Excuse me for the excitement but I spent most of my childhood and early teenage years natural. At the age of fourteen was the first time I relaxed my hair with my mother's permission. As a kid I noticed that most of my friends had relaxed hair at a very young age and I use to envy their hairdos believing they receive more attention from the opposite sex because of their beautiful straight hair. If was up to me personally I would have relaxed my hair a long time ago. I thank my mom for not relaxing my hair at an early age allowing me to enjoy my hair. Going natural is a personal decision and is anyone one right to freely do so but I feel that one of the reasons most women are going back to natural is because they did not get to enjoy their natural hair as a child. I had fourteen long years and I'm over it. When I was getting my hair at the salon I was so elated and ready for the new various hairstyles to come with my new found texture. ~Post you comments and pics below ~

Why So Surprised?

While watching the preview to Vh1's Basketball Wives next episode something that Tami said ringed aloud to me. Tami stated that in her "hood" get your ass beat you shut your mouth about it and go home. But the thing is none of these ladies are no longer living in the hood and they are way past the age for a scuffle in the school yard. Last week Evelyn talk about the possible consequences of if the wine bottle she threw at Kenya had actually hit her. For a second you would think that she was actually reflecting on her obscene animalistic behavior towards the other girls, and how she could have experienced grave consequences such as being arrested and charged with a misdemeanor or worst. Its no surprised that Jennifer filed a lawsuit against Nia for assaulting her. I'm not say I'm #Team_Jennifer but I not don't support fighting at any age. I'll admit that it is inevitable in life not to get into a heated situation where you may have to defend yourself. But I do not condone someone deliberately getting up to slap someone. Just like mama said don't get up and hit other people children!!! If you want to touch someone touch yourself or your man. All I'm saying is don't be surprised when someone slaps you with a lawsuit.At the end of the day American law reigns supreme over hood. You should know how to compose yourself as a lady. Poppin' off ain't always cute especially how crazy Nia hair was looking like a wig almost. That side part was too far sweetie as her employer Ev would say "Its Leanin". At the end of the day these ladies need a reality in the law department cause that lawsuit really "Gon check ya Boo."
