Hermes Birkin or Zagliani’s

The "Birkin" bag is a handbag manufactured by leather goods and ready-to-wear manufacturer Hermès. It is named after British-born actress and singer Jane Birkin, a longtime resident of France.
Or

Zagliani’s, a label that has become synonymous with stylish shapes, vibrant colours and, most importantly, exotic leather.

*********** I would go with the Birkin bag if I were asked to choose!!! Both are nice I love the vibrant blue in the Zagliani's. Which would you prefer?

Blackberry Tour

Blackberry Tour
Blackberry Storm from Verizon

I upgraded a few months ago to the Storm and I'm regretting it.... I barely use it and I know its because I overuse my work phone, Blackberry 8820. So I'm thinking of back tracking and sticking with ol' faithful = keyboard => the Blackberry Tour. I'm not a fan of the touch screen and I know that I will never get use to it because I don't have too. I have noticed that it combines the touch screen capabilities with a keyboard and I'm all in because of it! The navigation is the hottest feature on the phone but I can get that with any Verizon phone...

I want my keyboard back!

Tiny and Toya's Premiere

The basement at Straits, was filled with friends and family all anticipating the Premiere of "The Tiny and Toya Show" which started promptly at 10pm on BET. The show is based on Antonia “Toya” Johnson-Carter and Tameka "Tiny" Cottle. Tiny and Toya is said to chronicle the lives of “two dynamic, young women immersed in the craziness of the Hip Hop world, but striving to find inner strength, peace and purpose.”

There was laughter and sad moments as the show revealed some interesting facts about the pairs families. Toya went to New Orleans to find her drug addicted mother, whom she had not talked to in awhile and that Tiny's father had Alzheimer's. Her mother helps her out with her children and you can see they are very close; it showed how tight her family is and that her mother is still her #1 fan! You could see that the two friends are extremely close to their daughters as well as they shared an intimate conversation about boys at Tiny's house in her daughters room.

In the premiere the girls had "A Girls Night Slumber Party" in which Tiny asked if the women could be a stay at home mom, to make a long story short. She aired that T.I doesn't want her to work; Her body language though read that she is happy and also sad about the idea! Though she says she loves her relationship and you have to take the good with the bad, weighing out what is more important your career or your relationship! Toya stated that she was wanting a man, "not a piece a man" but she would take "a piece of a man" over NO man at all! Others chimed in saying that it's hard to find someone in Atlanta etc. but never stated any valid reasons.

Overall, to me the show is going to be a hit because people always want to be in the know! People will tune in to see how they live and see the issues that they have to endure in their busy lives!I assume that weekly the show will get rave ratings/reviews, plenty of blog write up's and TiVo's will be set for 10pm!

Antonia “Toya” Johnson Carter is a native of the downtown area of New Orleans, Louisiana. She is a product of an environment that has truly shaped who she is. Toya is the child of a drug-addicted mother and an absent father. At an early age, she was separated from her siblings and shuffled from one family member to the next, never really feeling a sense of love or belonging. Despite her difficult upbringing, Toya went on to forge a new and exciting path. Toya graduated from Ambramson Senior High School and went on to college, where she majored in pre-medicine.

Tameka "Tiny" Cottle is a singer, songwriter and producer. She was born and raised in the College Park area of Atlanta, Georgia. In 1992, while attending North Atlanta Performing Arts High School, she joined the R&B quartet, Xscape. Producer Jermaine Dupri discovered Xscape and immediately signed the group to his record label, So So Def Recordings. (click here for more)

RIP Micheal Jackson

Micheal Jackson, I think that MJ made an impact on everyone differently and all I can say is I'm thankful for his music! I appreciate everything that he helped me go through by listening to his music growing up and now.... Me and my cousins acted out "Thriller" in my Aunts house over and over. I remember hiding under the coffee table and raising up like I was one of the dead. Now that I'm thinking about it if I was the only girl, I wonder who was the girl if I was one of the dead people?

Anyway, I have caused a lot of commotion on Twitter but I wanted to pay a tribute in my own way.... Rest easy Micheal! At least now you don't have to stress or be worried about all the people in the world that hated on your success. Thanks to Necole Bitchie for the pics!

Invest in people not things

Foolishness! I mean are you serious? They could feed a small nation with one of his chains! I don't get this nor will I ever be able to understand....

I got the Juelz pic from Bossip! and I'm totally feeling what they wrote...
"This is ridiculous. Why are we buying into this coonery? Juelz may show off his jewels but we know he doesn’t have jack in the bank. Buying a bunch of iced out ish and stashing it in a Louis Vuitton trunk doesn’t make you rich, it makes you dumb. SMH"

I completely feel like this is ignorance at its finest! I know that Plies is selling records but has he sold enough to be able to buy all this jewelry? I hope he has money invested somewhere because from what I have heard the music industry is shady as hell! And I'm nowhere near convinced that Juelz has all that going on?! Invest in people not things!

D Lamar - Singer/Lyricist

D Lamar (singer/lyricist) from Northern California. Hoping to alter reality as I know it through my musical artistry. I believe anything is possible with guidance, and faith in the Lord. If it is his will, it will be done.

Why are you on Twitter?
I am on twitter to meet, and build a wonderful and beautiful network of smiling people! I am 100% real with every tweet (update) it gets personal, at times, but the main focus, is to share myself with the new coined "twitterverse". I aim to be the regular famous guy, lol.

What made you follow me?
I followed you because I had seen a few conversations going back and forth with you, and of course you were beautiful...I continue following you, because you seem very approachable, honest, and positive, qualities, I believe I have as well. And when you went on to say, you would write a piece on your blog, you were locked in forever!

What are your goals for 2009?
My goals for 2009, are to finish a full recording project of 20 songs. 5 r&b, 5 rock, 5 rap, and 5 mixed (features,etc). Also I plan to finish a fan and music website, and begin booking shows, for more exposure.

How do you feel Twitter can help you accomplish these goals?
I believe twitter will help me achieve certain aspects of these goals, because so far, I have met quite a few helpful people, even if its honest critiques on my music, or advice, on what to do with my music career. As well as found new friends, who are slowly becoming fans. Twitter is and will expose me to many different people in the business. It allows me to easily send links to modeling pictures, websites, and most of all direct links to my music. Feedback is always welcome.

"I ACCEPT YOUR APOLOGY"

YES AN APOLOGY IS GOOD
I TRULY BELIEVE IT’S A CLEANSING AGENT
YET WE MUST UNDERSTAND
TO APOLOGIZE IS TO ACKNOWLEDGE
AND ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY OF OUR ACTIONS
THIS DOESN'T MEAN IT WIPES AWAY THE DEED
SO IF I GIVE YOU MY CAR
AND YOU HAVE A FENDER BENDER
I MIGHT ACCEPT YOUR APOLOGY
BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN I WILL GIVE YOU MY CAR AGAIN
AND AS WE SPEAK ON THIS SUBJECT I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION
WE MUST BE VERY CAREFUL
FOR THERE ARE THINGS THAT CAN'T BE REPLACED
EVEN IF WE DO APOLOGIZE

Merry Christmas!

By the way I wanted to quickly send out a message letting my friends and family know that I appreciate all the love, prayers, care and concern that you have given to me and my immediate and extended family ;-) After the year that I have had, the earlier lay-off and the now fantastic job that I have, sometimes we all need to take a minute to reflect on what we have or have not accomplished in our lives and who we have and have not touched with our existence... I want to extend a "Very Merry Christmas" to my family, friends and my blogger community! Make a difference with your life, we all have a voice share it! I'm thankful that my family is in town minus my sister :-( and that we get to share this time together because no day is promised so ALWAYS life your life right!
