Lisa & Sheree Duke it out in the Art of Fashion

Hey Guys! Hows life????

Okay so one of my guilty pleasure's is Real Housewives of Atlanta...As some of you may know, Lisa and Sheree have both started their own clothing lines. Lisa's line is called "Closet Freak" and Sheree's line is called "She by Sheree".
Check out some of their collections below...Personally I prefer Sheree's line. Lisa's line does not complement the real woman's body and I can actually see myself wearing some of Sheree's pieces.

Trust

After years of repeated of misery, hurt, tears, and pain how does a woman love again? How do I know when its okay to let my heart go? How do I know if I'm ready to take that risk. A man I love now has never given me a reason to question him, only the ones who came before him. He say, "baby I'm a little busy, I don't want you to think I'm ignoring you so I'm calling you now and I will call you later on tonight". I couldn't even smile. I had to push myself to say okay when I really wanted to say whatever. I'm so use to hearing "I'm in class" or " I'm taking care of some business right now I'll call you later". And everything would always end up in disaster...I don't want to penalize him anymore...He doesn't deserve the bad attitudes, casual snaps...I'm fighting myself to stop penalizing him but I feel like I'm trying to break down a steel wall. Why?

R. Kelly ft. Keri Hilson

Okay so your girl got up with Mr. R. Kelly the king of freaks to make a hopeful hit called "Number One" I don't know how I feel about the song only for the reason I really don't rock with R. Kelly but you might...Thoughts?? Feedback??? Hmmmm...All on you..Enjoy!!

Bow Wow is Down W/ Cash Money!

Bow Wow has left Arista or Columbia...(I can't recall) but this many is now signed with Cash Money...I personally think its a good look.. Look at Drake's career and this man doesn't even have an album yet....Good Job Bow-weezy!

The Art of Hair....

Ladies...I noticed alot of you are starting to shave your heads or just plain 'ol cutting it....But check this out..Not everyone looks dope...
Sooo...find something that works for you...
There is a science behind hair and how its presented. Alot of things are taken into consideration. Such as the shape of a person's face, circumference of the head, width, texture, length, and the list continues to grow...

I hate when I see girls trying to be Cassie or Rihanna...Be you and be happy!
