Fashion NoNo

Beyonce, singer/actor walked the red carpet with a phony pony and no jewerly. Wat was she thinking? I have never ever seen Beyonce look so horrible especially on the red carpet. The red carpet is where you strut and show off all your beautiful clothing , your stlye, your personality. i mean don't get me wrong her dress was pretty, but it would have looked beautiful if she accented it with jewerly and a nice hair style to match. She should know out of all people that you have to always have a hairstyle to match and jewerly to go with the outfit. Her mother is a clothes designer. i couldn't belive my eyes when I saw this picture. This Diva, is not on her game.



P.S. Happy birthday Turq!!

Finally!!

I have finally found a sponsor. About time! I have been looking and looking everywhere and I began to loose hope but then, someone came through. i had some help from Morgan and Ms. porter and mostly my mentor Ms. Clark. They just kept helping me and pushing me not to give up. This i s some weight lifted off my shoulders, one less thing to worry about. So far every Friday is the given date which we will meet in Audobon at her spot. I can't wait to really start on my senior project and learn about fashion. I know this will turn ou t to be a great experience.

This is the kind of fashion I like. Richie Heatherette The most unique fashion desingner I know. His styles as are crazy cool. I once noticed his fashion on Tiana taylor's sweet sixteen. She had a dress that was so amazing something like no other. He is a very talented young man and I can't wait to see what other fashion he will come up with. Richie is the new Louis Vution! FIERCE, that's all I can say.

The First Lady and Fashion!

A fashion icon would have an eye-catching signature look and, while the president's wife has the power to set trends, her appeal is refreshingly not so defined and deliberate, said fashion observers at the semi-annual Fashion Week in New York, where designers are showing their Fall 2009 collections.
Michelle Obama "is more real than iconic," said David Wolfe, creative director of the Doneger Group, which forecasts trends. "She doesn't have a locked-in fashion look. She experiments, which is what fashion is about these days."
References to Obama, 45, as an icon of fashion are everywhere. Thin and statuesque, the attorney and mother of two graces the cover of Vogue magazine's March issue.
She wins lavish attention from designers, editors and stylists. Stores quickly sell out of the clothes she wears.
Jason Wu, the young designer of Obama's white inaugural gown and the magenta dress she wears in Vogue, credits the first lady with reinvigorating the industry.
"In her own way, she is like a stimulus package for the fashion industry," Wu said.
Few first ladies deserved the title as fashion icons, said Mandi Norwood, a former magazine editor writing a book on Obama's style.
"We've been trying desperately to promote the first lady into fashion icon status, but I'm not sure any of them have truly deserved that title," she said.
Obama does have some company in U.S. history, said Lisa Kathleen Graddy, curator of "The First Ladies at the Smithsonian" exhibit.
Frances Cleveland's clothes and hairstyle were copied and commented upon, and advertisers used her to sell products she had never seen or used. The Victorian-era bustle even fell out of U.S. fashion when it was reported she would no longer wear the rear-enhancing gowns.
Another fashionable first lady was Grace Coolidge, who is considered to have popularized fashion, said Graddy.

Almost There

As of now I still have not found another sponsor for senior project. I have been calling around everywhere. Today Ms. Hafner called the The Art Institute and Drexel University where they have a good fashion program. We were not able to get through but we did leave a message. I have a good feeling that they might be interested in the program and will consider to be my sponsor. I going to keep on trying and hopefully by next week I will have a permanent sponsor. If not, I'll just do photography, I know I will have a definite sponsor for that.

Frustration

It is very frustrating when you have had someone to agree about being your sponsor then all of a sudden they do not contact you any more. People may think that I am not putting effort into finding a sponsor but little do they know, I am. Well last month I had already found one. Since she gave up on me I have to start all over from scratch which is not easy. So far as of yesterday I have called three places. One person basically said she wasn't interested, another stated call them back after 10 o'clock tomorrow, and the third person did not answer the phone, so I left a message. Ms. sykes who is such a big help to me gave me a great idea to call the Unversity of arts to see is maybe a senior student attending there could be of any help to sponsor me. Right now I am desperate I am willing to get any sponsor I can get that knows about fashion. If I am not able to find a sponor for fashion, I think I might swtich over to photography. That would be better for me because my father takes pictures and I already know a little about what angles to take pictures etc. Well hopefully something comes through for me and quick because I am ready to explore.

My best friend, My riidah, My sister, Radiah (Diggy) Since seventh grade me and Radiah have known each other, I was the first one to introduce myself to her. We have grown to be the best of friends over the years. I truly do love her like a sister. We have cried together, shared secrets together, reminisced about the past together, and even had arguments with one another but at the end I know she will always be right there by my side. Senior year has showed a big improvement on our friendship and how much I really do appreciate to have a real friend like her. I have been going through a lot of changes, friend, relationship, and family wise and I can admit that Radiah never told me she didn't have the time to listen or acted like she didn't care, she did just the opposite, she would not leave me alone until I told her what had me upset and clarfiyed that everything would be alright. When it was really important and I was in the wrong , Radiah would never fail to let me know. That's one thing I love about her, she never hesitates to keep it real and in return I always do the same. It's just natural! Soon, senior year we be over and we will have to depart from each other, off to different colleges and different lives. Become women and have families but there is no doubt in my mind that we are going to forget about each other, we will just grow with one another. Then when we finally have families of our own, we can look back and continue to reminisce. I love you Diggy! (Mrs. Levi)

CoNfUsEd!!!

On days like this I feel confused. i don't know what is going on around me anymore. School problems, family problems, work problems, and relationship problems. I am so overwhelmed with everything. I am now realizing through situations who my real friends are. I have made some rock hard mistakes that may bruise me for the rest of my life but i can't change them. I am so sick and tired of school, mainly english class. It seems like we do the same things every day. IT'S SOOOO BORING! maybe it's me. Maybe I have a problem with my self and that's the reason why I am annoyed with everything and everybody. I feel like I don't know who I am, I don't know what I am supose to do to think the way to react. NOTHING! I am not me. But who knows what's wrong. To put the icing on the cake this whole relationship thing I am goin through is only making matters worse. I feel like I want to give up I don't want to have a part of him anymore but then I don't want to just let five years go to waste. I am confused and stuck. I try to think things through and not worry about other situations besides my school work but my mind just seems to wonder back everytime. ughh am I going CRAZY? It's like I want to be happy and everyday I put up a front and smile so no one can no I am sad but when I go home, I am jus t so lonely.

Let it snow

Yes!!!! it's finally snowing and I don't want it to stop. We haven't had any real snow all winter and the winter is about to be over. I have been waiting patiently for the day I wake up, look at the news, and is told THERE IS NO SCHOOL. I think that it is about time for us seniors to have another break. There has been snow up north jersey, snow in futher up pennsylvaina, but no snow here, it just skips right over us. Well yesterday was groundhog day. The day the groundhog is supose to determine how much or little of winter we have left, since he ran back into his whole like a scardy cat, then that means we are capable of having six more weeks of winter. Maybe in those six weeks we will get some real snow and I can make snow mans and go sleding, which is the best part.

The mystery of Sharita Williams

The Mystery of Sharita Williams has finally been solved. Today I was notified that the person who killed Sharita has been found. In case you don't know who she is, let me inform you. Shrita is from Peensauken, she attened peensauken high school, she was the friend, well more like sisters to my best friend page. I met her once so I didn't really know her that well but every time I did hear things about her, they were never bad. Sherita was found dead Nov 16, 2003 one afternoon near 36th street bridge at the age of 16. Rumor was, was that her boyfriend killed her. Come to find out it was a guy by the name of Warren Dixon (23) who transferred to peensauken high that fall. Sherita never had one conversation with this guy but yet he was able to do such a horrible thing to this sweet innocent girl. finally this mystery has come to an end and now Sherita is able to live peacefully in heaven. R.I.P Sherita Williams.

The third chapter is through!!!

It' s finally over this chapter is through, I am kind of relieved because of all the things you put me through. In the begging it was all fun and games but that soon had to end once you put dirt on my name. I thought we loved each other equally, but I guess I was wrong. U did me dirty this whole time and I went right along. (LOL) I don't feel dumb just upset, I will learn from this experience, it was something I will never forget. I want you two to be happy together, don't let me get in the way, because on the other side I know there will be a brighter day.
