Top 5 AHOLICs [4]

It's that time again! You know, when I shamelessly tell you all the things that I'm currently addicted to. Yep, THAT time. LOL.
5) Weave
4) Curly hair
3) Purse dogs
2) Teen heartthrobs
1) 80's remakes

Man, so a lot of you are probably MAD that WEAVE is on my list. But, and I hate to swear on here, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN! I LOVE weave, but don't get it twisted I LOVE my natural hair MORE. I just appreciated it's versatility is all. I like having the ability to have my natural shoulder length hair one minute and 2-4 hours later mid back, blond hair. It's fun and exciting and a great way to protect my hair, and even if it wasn't I'd still do it.
SO IF YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE GUNG-HO PEOPLE WHO THINK WEAVE IS THE DEVIL AND BLACK WOMEN ARE GIVING INTO SOME CONVOLUTED IDEAL THAT THE FEMALE IMAGE IS BASED ON "EUROPEAN" IMAGE OF BEAUTY , OR THAT I'M DEMEANING MYSELF AND HAVE LOW SELF-ESTEEM THEN YOU CAN TAKE THAT BULLSHIT AND SHOVE IT UP YOU'RE HIGH HORSE-NOSE IN THE AIR-TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL-PEDESTAL SITTING ASS CUZ I DON'T GIVE A DAMN!
I am not a naturals are better than perms person, especially when most naturals started out WITH perms, don't EVER forget that. And maybe they [naturals who started out with perms] realized a natural path would be better for THEIR hair but some people don't feel that way. So long as YOUR hair is healthy, natural or otherwise then you are GOOD. Leave others be PERIOD! Sorry that got so long.
I don't even know if anyone REALLY reads this [if you do nob your head, lol, not that that really helps me, but...]

Curly hair, not much to say about this one other than I love it. Probably a biased opinion because my hair is curly, but hey it's MY BLOG and MY LIST so suck on that. Lol, VERY juvenile.


I LOVE puppies and kittens and pretty much all babies of any animal. They're SOOO cute. So the best part about purse dogs is that they basically stay the size of puppies they're WHOLE life. That and I think I have a little Paris Hilton in me, the dog loving side, not the sexing tape making, crotch showing, celeb-beefing side.

"Teen" Heartthrobs, I need not explain this just a mini list [keyword was teen, so if they seem young to you that's cuz your old, jk, I'm getting there too though!]

• Zac Efron
• Shia LaBouef
• Chace Crawford
• I guess the WHOLE cast of Twilight etc (even though I haven't actually seen the movies)
• Nick Jonas (I had to do it)
• Soulja Boy (NOT apologizing for that one)
• Elijah Kelley ( Hairspray, Take the Lead)
• Micheal Cera (Superbad, Juno etc if you didn't know)
• William Moseley (The oldest Brother from Narnia)
• ...and the list goes on

Ok, so we had the summer of the trilogy completion [ Pirates of the Caribbean, Spiderman, etc] we had the summer of Super Hero movies [Iron Man, Hulk, Fantastic Four] you get my drift. I'm just waiting for the wave of 80's remakes! I'm just BARELY an 80's baby [born in 1989] but I LOVE the clothes, some of the hair, and the movies. It's just part of who I am [which is totally awesome!!] So far they're redoing Footloose [which was amazing the first time around, Kevin Bacon YUM] with Chace Crawford (my heart breaks everytime i think about the fact that Zac Efron dropped the role, like REALLY breaks. Also FAME, so excited for that one! Front row, there's just something about teens singing and dancing that gets me excited. Karate Kid is also in the works, I hope the original Mr Miyagi is alive to make a cameo! Hairspray was AMAZING fyi.
Remakes I'd LOVE to see

• Pretty in Pink *
• Breakfast Club *
• Sixteen Candles *

Yeah the list is long, but I DID say I loved the 80's lol, and that's why it's number one. I missed ALOT but these are the main ones and the ones with asterisk (*) as the ones I REALLY want to see remade.

Caio for now.

Hate is a Strong word [1]

This is a possible title for this series...[till I come up with something a little more clever]


Anyways, despite being an "-aholic" I'm also a regular person how has dislikes. I will be expressing those here. Actually not just dislikes, but pet peeves, annoyances, hates things that disgust me, etc etc.

3. List of 2

2. Chipped nails! GEEZ

1. Having my name called repeatedly

I can't stand it when people only have 2 things on a list [verbal or written]. Come on, finish it off! I might be slightly OCD about that one lol. I just want to add one more thing so it's complete. Think of it this way, you learn your ABC's not your AB's or you count 1,2,3 NOT 1,2.

I hate when I spend time to paint my nails and then I accidentally touch them, OR scrap them OR after they've dried the tips chip off. It's SOOO annoying.

My mother, being the African woman that she is, is incapable of doing any work herself, and for some reason refuses to ask my brother [who are often close in proximity to her] for anything. SO instead she calls me, no matter what I am doing, I AM THE ONE THAT GET CALLED or BOTHERED! Ugh!

What annoys you?


On a happier note my YouTube is working again :), but unfortunately I can't load my latest vblog :(.

Queen B

Beyonce!

Love her, or hate her, she's still one of the baddest, most diva-lious women in the business. Did I mention her music is amazing.

Took a quick trip to Wally World [Wal-mart] to get some hair products and got my diva on wit her highness. Gettin it wit Dangerously in Love, Diva, Check On It, Yes, Single Ladies. Man so many good songs. I've been listening to just her songs for the past week and I've not only come to the obvious conclusion that she's more amazing that I thought, but also that I want NEED to go to one of her concerts.

Glad the queen found herself a good king too, so many celebs are in romantic funks, break up after break up. I feel bad for them love's tough.

But back to Beyonce "Mrs Hova Diva" Knowles/Sasha Fierce. I LOVE LOVE LOVE her last album [I am Sasha Fierce], it was hot, banging, stellar, rad, cool, whatever lingo you want to use. Because basically it was that DEAL.

Sweet Dream- Listen

If you haven't heard the album, sorry to say you're not only missing out, but seriously behind the times. It released early this year and did well. The whole cd bangs [is good], for me there aren't too may cd's that I like all or a majority of the songs, this, last summer's Tha Carter III, and Kelly Clackson's Breakaway album were some of them.

Oh and people hating on her acting ability. I'd like to see you do better, and even if you can [which I seriously doubt] you'd still never do it like B. Not saying she's the best, but she's not as bad as Paris Hilton in House of Wax [THAT was bad]. Still need to see Obsessed!

On a side note, does anyone else miss Destiny's Child? I do :( actually I miss a lot of 90's girl bands. Where have they gone? Girl bands in general? Everyone seems to busy trying to do THEMSELVES and be solo that there's no time for harmonizing. What happened to Danity Kane? Pussycat Dolls [not that I liked them, just an example]? What's sad is that I can't name anymore, because I don't know anymore.

I have nothing against boy band, or mixed groups, or solo artists, and I'm not implying that only girl groups empowered women, independence, sexuality and all that other good stuff. BUT there was just something FUN about being wit your friends and choosing a girl to be and lip sync etc, think SPICE GIRLS. I don't know, I guess I'm just weird like that.
