When it Rains, It Burns

This has been a week for the books.  All kinds of upheaval that I'm convinced is the result of Mercury in retrograde.
Yesterday, using a blow dryer and brush that I've had forever, I managed to burn a plug of hair.
Of course, I was headed somewhere.
Of course, it's in the top of my head.

Of course I'm too worn down to give a shit.

Throwback Prada

This is still one of my fav Prada shoes to date. Prada 2009

Big Rich Texas


D Magazine is one of the more polarizing publications in this city.  People seem to love it or hate it. I tend to like it, since my friends are featured regularly.  And, by regular I mean months other than the controversial “black folks issue”.

Anywho, I will be importing  Merritt Patterson’s (he writes for D Magazine) recap of the reality show, docu-drama, Big Rich Texas into my blog.

Lalah Hathaway + Kirk Whalum

It's possible this post should be called Kirk Whalum + Lalah Hathaway- especially since "It's What I Do" is Kirk's song. The thing is, I can't see myself putting Lalah's name after any name other than maybe Patti, Aretha, Donny, or Stevie.

Back to School Sale @ Folica.com


Sometimes I think God gets distracted. He turns his attention away from me when he really shouldn't. I've been a girly-girl my whole life. Somehow he let me own a hair salon, allowing me to buy things at licensed required beauty supplies.

What to Wear?


The quickest way to irritate me is to spout off a fashion "rule".  Only unfortunate looking souls who can't pull together a decent look need the damn things. Besides, most are preferences, not rules.  Once you get passed VPL, I'm sure everything else is up to interpretation (honey, nobody wants to look at panty lines cutting across your wide ass).

Trina Turk Comes Home

Here's the deal.  For me, the phrase "one of my favorite brands" usually means, "one of the brands a curvy girl like me can wear".

I actually have moderate success in Trina Turk. The only things off limits are her skirts and pants. Dresses and tops are always a win!
