Wanted Wednesday:ipad

Um, I can honestly say "idont" want this...at least for now. I dont know much about it. From what I understand it's a "handheld that will allow users to view movies, surf the Internet and play high-definition games". That really doesnt sound too appealing to me. I'm not into technology like that. I mean, I'm not really in the hype of blue ray (seriously, how clear does a picture in a box need to be). HD is just fine. But I know some of my readers rely on me for the up to date new tech stuff (she said sarcastically)

"We want to kick off 2010 by introducing a truly magical and revolutionary product," Apple CEO Steve Jobs said. Contrary to what most "ifans" think, Apple isn't the first company to launch a tablet. Some of the top PC makers including Dell, Hewlett-Packard and Asus showed off multimedia tablet prototypes with different screen sizes at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this month. Many of those handheld devices were based on Google's Android Linux OS and provided the ability to surf the Internet, view multimedia and read e-books".

Wanted Wednesdays

So it's a Turkey day week and this is somewhat my funny Friday and Wanted Wednesday in lieu of what I would want tomorrow (Thanksgiving). I saw this on a website a friend sent to me and found it to be hilarious. I've made some changes of my own, but some are still the same. Feel free to read the original Top 10 Celebs Thanksgiving guest wish list.

**These guest (at least my own) are not listed in any particular order.

1.Kanye West – The weird and slightly crazy uncle
Although I absolutely adore Mr. West, if he were my relative I would be rather embarrassed of him. I can see it now: Everyone is going around saying what we're grateful for and he will be the one to remind us that "...after all the Indians did for the pilgrims, they still damn near killed off an entire race! And this is something we should celebrate? White people dont care about black people" Thanks for ruining Turkey day unlce 'Ye!

2.Oprah – The rich, sexually ambiguous aunt
Oprah is the aunt that we all have. Older, well-established, no kids, unmarried and perhaps quite the cougar. The one who would do anything for her nieces and nephews as long as they dont have to stay with her for more than a weekend.

3.Justin Timberlake – The sexy cousin
I dont have any cousins that I wish they were NOT my cousin, but I am aware that some are probably the ish in their respective circles. But if Justin was an adoptive cousin...well...man, I dont know! But regardless, I see him being goofy enough to chill with all the time.

4.Frankie – The “mom”
With Frankie as the matriarch of this family gathering, get ready for some D-R-A-M-A! Man-down! Side note: She is NOTHING, I mean NOTHING like my mom! But dangit, I would LOVE for her to say prayer over dinner!

5.Pops – Pops
Three words…bang, bang, bang! Watch out Frankie!

6. Plies – The bad nephew
Plies plays the role of the troubled nephew. Super smart and intelligent but he doesnt want his peers to know so he has tattoos, multiple baby mamas and trying his darnest to stay out of jail, go to church and get a job.

7.Lauren London – The fast niece
Lauren is your PYT niece, who is as fast as she is cute. You will definitely catch her texting her lil’ boyfriend under the table, trying to plan a way to sneak him in later when everyone’s sleeping. SMH!!

8.Estelle – The aunt who likes”the drank” a lil’ too much
Estelle is the token alcoholic in this gathering. Just keep her away from the rum.

9.Beyonce – The cuter, more successful sister
We can all sympathize with Solange for a moment, because at this dinner Bey is the sister that you know your mom always loved a little more. Make sure you spill some red wine on little-miss-perfect’s designer dress, then floss your $20 outfit for all its worth!

10. The Obamas – The more sophisticated rich cousins
The Obamas would definitely be your well-off family members who moved to Chicago and hardly associate with the rest of you, except for unavoidable occasions like the one at hand. While you bust down a turkey leg with your bare hands, Sasha and Malia look at you in disgust and floss their perfect etiquette.

Wanted Wednesdays

I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m soooooo SORRY! I have no reason to not have been writing my blog on a regular basis. Well, I kind of do, but over a month? That’s just ridiculous! So here and now, I promise to at least post a blog once a week. Just don’t be mad at me if its something easy like Throwback Thursdays or Funny Fridays! LOL! Anywho, welcome back to wanted Wednesdays!

So for most of you who may know me or THINK you know, you probably don’t know how much of fragrance connoisseur I am! Oh yes, this is real! Usually when I go out and can plan an outfit in my head days, hours or minutes before I go out. But when it comes to which fragrance I wear, that could be my last contemplating decision. I've had over 4 perfumes at a time and that drained me! So now, I try to keep between 2-3 scents. Fragrances are so unique in how you can wear them. There are springy/summery scents and there are fall/wintery scents. You can NOT wear the same fragrance year round. I mean, I guess there are a few that can work either way, but I like to change it up. As I’ve grown into an adult I know HOW to pick the right perfume for me. Remember, the same perfume does not smell the same on each person. You must know what works for you! I’m not the type to just buy whatever is advertised. I take my time with it like a virgin on prom night. I bathe before I go shopping and if something smells good on paper, I’ll ask the person helping me to spray on one of my wrist or neck. I will walk around ALL day sniffing myself until I know for sure, “Yes. I can walk around with this scent for 4-6 hours for several months. Now, I’m a little late with this because I did get the fragrance seen above for my birthday about a month ago. And another thing: gift or not, perfume has no price limit. If it smell that damn good on me, I will buy it no matter the cost! The red bottle of Christian Audigier is the perfume for women and as you can guess the blue bottle is for men. I rarely care what the bottle looks like, but doesnt this just scream royalty...or crown royal?? I love this smell. It’s perfect for the cold season. It’s soft when just wearing to the office, but like the deodorant, it gives off a stronger smell when my body tempature heats up. So this is ideal for a dinner, clubbing, or a passionate night in with your significant other. Now, please don’t think I bought this perfume for the name. That can get you into trouble. I’ve worn perfumes that I wasn’t too fond of the name but I can honestly say, they were probably my favorite scents.

Not that you care but here are a list of perfumes I’ve worn over the years. Keep in mind I've been wearing perfume since maybe the 8th or 9th grade. Some perfumes I've worn longer than others. I never was too fond of that body spray stuff the other girls were buying at Walmart or Bath & Body Works. I’ve only come across one that I didn’t like. But I had to wear it since my brother bought it for me. He has since been told to never buy me perfume again without my discretion.

Tommy Girl - worn for about 2 years

Curve -worn for about 3 years
Candies -2 years worn
Lucky You -2 years

Mambo -1 year(bday gift..didnt like at first but it grew on me)

Paris Hilton -hmm maybe a little over a year
J.Lo Live -2 years
J.Lo Live Luxe -Probably my favorite to this DAY! About 3 years
Escada (Sunset Heat)-one year

Escada (Moon Sparkle) -one year

Beyonce True Star (The worst I’ve worn, EVER) -ugh! Tried to get rid of in a few months

Guess Gold -one year
Ed Hardy -one year

Wanted Wednesday

Man! It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh? Anywho, I really dont want this per se, but dang it, I sure could have used it in college! This is just screaming dorm room. What are your thoughts? Who cares! Dont you dare judge this wonderful idea!

Wanted Wednesdays: Mos Def

I don't know what it is about this guy, but I think he is too cute! He's like cute in a funny looking way. He looks like a rodent or something and he talks with a lisp, but I still like him. Mos Def (Dante Terrell Smith) hails out of Brooklyn, New York and is most popular for his lyrical skills. Contrary to what most people think, Mos was actually an actor first. He went to NYU briefly and studied theatre and was a sidekick on the short lived Bill Cosby sitcom, The Cosby Mysteries. Somewhere along the path of his life he met one of MY favorite rappers, Talib Kweli (Tah-Lib Qua-Lee) and formed Blackstar; one of hip hops most prominent underground hip hop groups. He has been nominated for several Grammys and even an Emmy as Best Actor for his moving role in Something the Lord Made, which was based on a true story. Whether you find him attractive or not, don't you dare judge him.

Oh! And whiles he's not too much of a political activist, He's not another dumb rapper!

Wanted Wednesday: Amt bags

I'm not too familiar with this designer, but the print on these bags looks an awful lot like Louis Vuitton. But whatever! I think they are SOOOO cute! I would love to tote this around Miami (which is my summer vacation spot for the 09). I'm not sure on the cost of these bags, but I'm sure it's past my Sack and Save budget! Enjoy! And don't you dare judge this designer...even if he/she is biting off Louis Vuitton.

Wanted Wednesdays: Yves Saint Laurent

"Close your eyes and imagine, feel the magicVegas on acid,Seen through these St. Laurent glasses" said Mr. West. These shades are not THAT nice, but who wouldn't want to stunt and say they have some Yves Saint Laurent shades? Even the usually non flashy Nasir Jones had to rap about what he would only considers the best suit to wear in Heaven: "throwin' carnations at my tombstone,in my new home ,meet mom's in my yves saint laurent suit on". These pretty pair of thangs are going to run you about $250 to $500, so start saving your change! I'm not really a shades person, but who's to say if I had Kanye or Nas' money, I wouldn't get them? Don't you dare judge my extravagant wanted "wish" list for today!

Wanted Wednesdays: LV's Kanye Sneaks

Finally! Something for the fella's to enjoy!

Ok, so, I've never been a sneaker person. Maybe I would have been if my parents would have bought me $150 Jordans like everybody else, but they didn't! I was rockin Reeboks when they were NOT cool! But still ok to wear. I'm really more of a boot and sandal kind of chic. Just depends on the season. If it's winter outside, I rock boots. If it's 10 degrees cooler than hell outside, I rock sandals or flip-flops. But these shoes are actually nice and they are designed by none other than the "Louise Vuitton Don" himself: Mr. Kanye West! From what I understand, he actually took an intern job with Louise V. to design these shoes. He's really taking rapper/designer to a different level! I still wouldn't wear them just for the fact I know they would make my feet look like boats, but I think a well dressed man should get them a pair of these. The purple ones are really an eye catcher.

While you may not agree with my sense of style (or lack thereof) you can take of your "good" shoes and kicks stones if you dare judge!

Wanted Wednesdays: Giuseppes

****Fellas, please don't get it twisted! I really am trying to find something that you all would "Want" but no new Madden games are due, no J's coming out soon, so please bare with me. I haven't forgotten about my male readers! Maybe a pic of Paula Patton will tie you over.

Whether Luda is complaining "My baby need new shoes, her momma need Giuseppes" or Jigga is bragging, "Like every color Giuseppe's, your guilty pleasure is me " these shoes are hot!!! Sort of! I think its an acquired taste. I mean, if you want to catch peoples eyes, I don't even think a pair of Louiboutins could catch an eye like these (ok, maybe it could). Someone would actually break their neck trying to get a second glance at these babies! Now, from what I understand, not that I know personally, Louboutins are actually comfortable. Giuseppes don't really look that comfortable, but you never know. But on the bright side these shoes average less than the Louboutins. You can find a pair of these shoes for about $500 to 800 bucks! What a steal! As I said these shoes are obviously an acquired taste kind of shoes, so to hell with you if you dare judge.

Wanted Wednesdays: Escalade

"Mmm, ain't this some shit, pull up in the C-AD-I, Double-L, with ah A-C, A-C hoes..." Oh boy! I know yalll remember that joint! If you don't know any other lyrics to that song or any song in your whole life, you knew that short verse on Do or Die's "Po Pimp"! But anywho, back to what I want. Now, some of you maybe thinking, who wants an Escalade? That's in almost any ones reach. Well, it is, but still, I want one. I came awfully close to buying one instead of my car now because due to gas prices being an arm& a leg, the SUV was ridiculously reasonable and was the same as what I DID buy ( A one year old Escalade...not new)! But of course my old lady talked me out of it, but now I'm pissed because gas is now just an arm...I would have been alright. But oh well. I guess this will have to be my first family car. Don't you dare judge what I want! But damn, this is a big sexy vehicle!
