Suddenly...Billy Ocean [Throwback Thursday]

With all the recent talk about Frank Ocean, I couldn't help but think about Billy Ocean. (no relation) And then I heard this song on the radio the other day and now I cannot stop playing it. Love love love love...

On Hair...by pemora

I have been thinking about hair and hair maintenance a lot lately and was curious about how different folks deal with their own follicles. It is so interesting, given all the latest themes, trends and discussions about how to treat your hair.

Words From My BFF'er...by pemora

I'm pretty sure my best friend told me this in high school. And, uh, he's a dude.

Olympic Girl Crush: Sanya Richards-Ross...by pemora

Confession time: track + field terrifies me. In an effort to get out of PE in my last semester of high school, I joined the track team with my sister. I was a 12th grader...she was in middle school. But I thought this would be some nice sisterly bonding, I would get to wear a cute track outfit and my parents would buy me shiny new sneakers. All this AND no PE? Win all-around.

Except, not.

I am allergic to running. Severely. So, the coach tried desperately to find a place for me on the team. What about the triple or long jumps? Oh, laughter for days. Okay, learn how to throw the discus and javelin. Which was what I did that whole season, even after I hit myself in the back of the head with the javelin during a meet. In front of my little HS boyfriend. Ugh, memories.

All this to say that I always get scared while watching track + field events. When my friends excitedly attended the Penn relays, I would stay at home and wait for their updates. Due to my current obsession with the Olympics, I decided to watch last night. And I am so glad that I did because I was able to witness the most glamorous woman ever win gold in the 400m.

Sanya Richards-Ross made her event look easy. Gold Chanel earrings sparkling, hair all out, she looked simply stunning. Sanya is officially a friend-in-my-head. That girlfriend that goes shopping with me, after she is done working out. I would be waiting for her, glass of chardonnay in hand. Clearly.

"Enough Said"

New single...Aaliyah feat. Drake "Enough Said"

Thoughts? My tl is not too pleased. What do you think? 



Does it make a difference to you that Drake is pretty obsessed with Aaliyah? Right down to having her face tatted on his back?

THIS. ALL DAY.

Boom.

Love It or Hate It? [Beyonce's Nails]...by pemora

Am I seriously posting about Beyonce's nails? Why, yes, yes I am. After seeing this pic on her tumblr, I cannot stop thinking about it:

Totes her nails. I swear. Via Beyonce I am

This is the thing - if I was Beyonce, I would wear a purple cape with bedazzled stones that spell out "Yes. It is me", I would require a smoke machine for every and all entrances and a crown would sit on my head all damn day. I have thought about this. It is all in the details.

This is what I would not do - put a picture of Jay-Z on my nails. Or my own mug. I co-sign on many things that Beyonce does in this universe (except when she speaks. Oh lord, do any of you cringe during her interviews? I do. Many times over) but this sh!t right here? This right here? No, no thank you.

And just because it is Friday. PREACH.
