Because of You

Just saw this video on Youtube. I love the song and the video esp since I am a Michael Jackson fan.

Oprah Yesterday

OMG Yesterday Oprah was one of the best I have seen in awhile about polygamy. I loved ever minute of it. Lisa Ling's investigation into both polygamous communities was eye opening. That woman has some cojones. Its so true that there is no place on earth will she will not go from the Congo to confronting a polygamous husband about how he decides who to spend the night with. Oprah was good at grilling the husband and wives as well. She always asks the questions that I would ask if I were interviewing these people. I loved it when she said that most people cant stand to have more than one wife in the kitchen and most people tolerate it only for Thanksgiving.

night out

I had a nice night with old and new friends last night at a vietnamese restaurant in Union Square and at the Monster in the West Village.

New Haircut.

I needed a haircut so bad! It was hot and humid and i was putting way to much cream in my hair in order to control it. Coco as always really hooked me up. If you have curly hair and you are in new york city give her a call at the salon. (212) 587-5599

Im posting the before and after pics so you guys can see what an excellent job she does.

New Leather Jacket

I bought a new pleather jacket from H&M today. I tried it on a week ago and really liked it. I always wanted a black leather jacket that I didn't have to worry about getting wet in the rain. I already have a real leather one from Barneys Co-op from 4 years ago. Still debating whether I should return it or not. I'll take a picture modeling it later and post it.

Ground Zero

I went down to ground zero last week on 09/11. Im working on a 09/11 feature story for my journalism class. I havent been there in awhile and it was moving to go there at night with the sky lit up by the beams of light. The silence of the people and the makeshift shrines there reminded me of a cemetary and also brought me back to the weeks following the attack where there were pictures of victims plastered all over manhattan. It's been hard when interviewing people about the attacks to get any unique responses that are different from what has been said already in the media. This has been the gardest part of the assignment.

Star Jones

I saw this picture on Style.com from Michael Kors Spring 2008 fashion show and I didn't recognise her at first. I think shes had way too much plastic surgery. I saw Star last year when she was still on The View and I thought she looked great, but now her face is unrecognizable. I saw some nice men's' suits from the Kors show and a nice blue shirt that I would buy If I had 800 dollars available to me even though I'm still holding a grudge against him from an incident that happened between me and him when I was working at a bakery on Madison.

West Indian Day Parade

I had a good time at the West Indian Day Parade on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn. Good music, colorful costumes and yummy food also.

Crack is Whack

It's official. Lauryn Hill is officially gone and really messed up. Got back from her free concert tonight in Wingate Park, Brooklyn. One of the worst performances I've seen of hers. Her speech was slurred and she was twitching through the whole set. We knew something was wrong when she came out wearing a leather fringe vest and long sleeve tee layered underneath. Who wears that in the middle of August. She played some of her hits from The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, but it was like Lauryn Hill meets Jimmy Hendrix. Lauryn baby use your head! She really needs help. People were leaving the concert like three songs into her set. I miss the old Lauryn Hill.

Losing weight and other observations

Today I weighed myself in the morning and I've lost 10 pounds, which is so good. I just need to lose another ten to be at my optimum weight and fit into the size 32 jeans. Also Ive been noticing alot of guys wearing v-neck t shirts and a gold chain. Not sure if I like the look or not. Wondering if it could work to me without looking to Russian guido.

Marc Jacobs

The bomber jacket arrived in the mail from them today in navy blue and I love it. Im still waiting for the striped hoodie. Didn't used to be a fan of Marc, but the mens line is getting better and not so punky looking.

Thanksgiving

Could have been Better... but Que Sera Sera It was nice to see my Grammy!

Dennis

This is my first post in awhile, but I was deeply saddened to learn of the death of one of my dear friends Dennis Ho. Dennis passed away yesterday from Liver cancer. He was a good friend of mine for 3 years. We had so many plesant and wonderrful times. It is especially sad since he was living in this country illegally and he was unable to really move forward. I alwya used to encourage him to do well in school, counsel him through is personal crisis and just be there to cheer him up and forget about our mutual problems. He was an outstanding chef as well. Dennis I love you and will miss you very very much.

Missoni Sweater

Saw this on Saks website and am in love with it.

Naomi

You still look Fierce even at a court hearing! One of my fav supermodels even if you are a little loopy. She has one of the best runway walks.

Liza Minelli

at a dog contest. You are still a superstar

Happy gay pride

Happy gay pride. I didn't go to the parade. Something about rain and humidity and crowds didn't entice me this year. There's other ways to be proud and I don't need to go to a parade to show it. I was only going to go to look at the naked men, but one of my friends bailed out on me.
