The Look of my moment................ Poetic Justic braids

Hey HAWT girls!!! So for the past 2 weeks now Ive been rocking some ole skool Poetic Justice braids. YES! I know what some of you are thinking WTF is wrong with that child, well I like to think nothing. I saw solange rock'n them first & was like OK she brought it back but then a few weeks ago I came across this blog with this Beautiful blogger HAWTie by the name of Zizzi with the braids but she put her own spin on them. Check her out she is pretty awesomely dope



Her blog is pretty dope as her, love the lyric title's, she's sexy ( NERD voice lol), but check out her blog @ zizziswardrobe.blogspot.com 

Okay Back to the story, so I told my BBf that I was going to bet braided up, & of course she didn't believe cuz I never get my braided, NEVER! But I didn't tell her that  I was going to do them myself LOL. Yes so after work I went straight the beauty supply & started putting in work, thinking to myself they wont take that long since their thick in size....................... well that was a Damn ass LIE. I was up til Damn near 4 in the morning braiding up this head of mines but the out come was worth it, at least for me. LOL












I like the outcome & I have gotten a lot of compliments but along with a few crazy stares LOL. But I don't mind them at all, I welcome them LOL. I know I'm crazy but that's me, you ain't gotta like what I rock even better for me. So I don't have to look ordinary. But any who I used hella ( yea I typed it) packs of Black n' gold, its very easy to work with not a lot of tangles as you braid so that's a plus, also my Cantu leave in conditioner & Eco Aloe gel on my hair & hands, it helps as you braid to keep the hands a little moist trust & believe all the hair rubbing on your hands can start to irritate the ISH outta you. Lastly I used a mixture of olive oil & coconut oil  mixture on my scalp. That's it!!




Shouts out to my inspiration Zizzi & Solange. Hope you HAWTies like or maybe not! LOL.

What to do when you have a................. WARDROBE MALFUNCTION



One of the most memorable Wardrobe Malfunctions in our time is Janet Jackson at the Superbowl, most think it was done purposely Who knows really, but didn't she bounce back like hella fast tho!!! LOL that moment when she realized was just very memorable to those of us who have experienced the mishaps with the GIRLS! Well most recently we have had Miss Nicki M, bless us with a shot of her Fake Bittes.

Side note: What is going on with Baby girl in the back, Is that another Nipple or something else?!?


Then the other day Miss Kelly Rowland gave a performance in a little S&M bra top & even her little tatas came out, most comments asked the question, Why didn't she feel them slipp'n out, I asked it too!


The only reason I could give is that maybe she was that into the performance, all that dancing & moving around she really didn't feel them coming out. None the less the ish is embarrassing as hell, & were common folk ( not really, but we don't get our pictures posted everyday) so just imagine how freaking embarrassed they must feel.

My story was at my 8th grade graduation field trip. We went to the Water slides of all places LOL. It was a blast that what I remember pretty much other than this one memory of a lot of us in the pool & I was playing around & was coming up from under the water & one of the girls, Miss Righty (she's a bit more sassier), slipped out I had no clue til ALL the girls in the pool gestured at it, while the guys just stared. I turned around very quickly slipped her backed in & had no choice but to laugh it off. Inside I was super heated & embarrassed at myself for letting it happen. More security is what I truly learned that day, also that you have to laugh at yourself sometimes as well cuz when one of my Nerdy guy friends told my that my nipple looked like a silver dollar I couldn't help but to LOL!!!!! 


Ish happens is the famous saying, and we all have gotten a fair share of shit, it can vary from Baby to Bulls but its how you deal with the situation handed to you. The girls are bound to bounce out a time or two depending on your choice of shirt & support!!!! Honestly they like to come out & have fun even when your not ready, so be prepared with thought (cause that's about the only thing you can be prepared for in this situation)   & a quick recovery LOL remember that its only a moment not your whole life you will be over in about an hour or maybe more. But really its not big deal everyone has seen them & that's pretty much that. K. And by the way HAWTies I can call out a few more stories about this topic LOL but we'll just stick to that one, not unless Y'all wanna share LOLOLOLOLOL.............

My NAPtural HAIR JOURNEY.......................

When I decided to go natural there really wasn't a reason to do so other than I just really didn't feel like perming my hair anymore. Seriously the whole process was just becoming to much for me. So I can't tell you exactly when I started the natural thing because I was rocking Dem front laces for a minute.





So I just say summer of 2010 is when it was official for me. I had no idea on how to take care of my hair at least not my natural hair........ so I went straight to Google & YouTube for help LOL & believe it or not, they have been real helpful tools specially YouTube. There are tons of natural hair videos on their with tons of tips & product reviews. But you will live in learn when it comes to the process of taking care of the hair on your head.




The very first times I tried to do my own hair I was very frustrated with the outcome & I think its because I just expected for my hair instantly change to the textured I wanted it to be LOL foolish ME!!!! My hair is my hair & I learned by trail & error. I got a lot of errors but guess what I rock that ish like no bodies business. Cause ya girl thinks she is HAWT no matter the time of day or if I have a bad hair day it happens, but if you pull it off correctly no one will notice that you are having a bad hair.!!! Try it!! LOL it worked. But the moment it clicked for me was when my bantu knots came out perfect because I moisturized the ish outta my hair & kept it wrapped in my satin cap, again you have to find what works for you.



I know that it was going to  a ruff journey but No one prepared me for the good looks & the WTF is she doing with her head looks, My grandfather was the first person to speak sum HATE my way one nite, when I had the whole family over for dinner (cant think of the occasion but it goes down in my kitchen) & were all having a great time & when he breaks out & says What the Heck is wrong with your hair, is that the new look" & my Mommy hits him with the YES it is & she looks good wearing it!! Damn I love that lady, she rocks like guitars. But I was then aware that not everyone will be on board with my decision which was fine with me. I'm not one to please every one anyway LOL. This is be a HARD thing to over come HAWTies so don't let that discourage you from March'n in your journey.




I never wanted to do a BC ( big chop) I planned to grow an inch of Naptural then cut an inch of permed hair off until it was all gone. But it didn't happen that way.............. My little brother got killed & it rocked my world in more ways than one!!!! I went thru a WHOLE bunch of feelings & emotions, it was just a for real outta body experience like my soul hurt not my body. I was in my own world in my head & I got to chopping off my hair just like that!  My perm was gone & I felt even more vulnerable then, than what I felt before! It was a very unique moment for myself, cause I didn't feel pretty! LOL Yea I know me of all folks didn't feel pretty WTF! But it was more than my hair, it really was. Long hair kinda make you feel secure cuz almost everyone has it & its more accepting in our society & as a black woman HAIR is  made to be just as important as out kids LOL. Think about it HAWTies...........truly do. We can go over the whole GOOD hair thing but we've all seen the movie ( I hope) & know there is much more than tracks attached to the heads of Black women.

Okay back to the story, so after I cut my hair off I realized that I still need to get outta this house & see my family & go to this funeral. I wasn't ready to show off my new do with everyone cuz i still wasn't comfy with what I had did to myself. Now don't get my wrong HAWTies I didn't just cut it off like F it LOL I actually cit it into a style. Honestly I have no idea why I wasn't comfy with the look yet other than pure shock. But I bantu knotted it up & rocked a wig the rest of the week, I love my all curly wig cuz everyone thinks its really mines LOL. But as soon as it was over & I seen my brother layed to rest I was OK with it all even myself!

The next day after the funeral I stayed home & got myself together cuz I needed to go back to work, not cuz they were forcing me to but because I felt the need to & that wig came off the knots were undone & I walked into my job like I was the ONE, which I am in my world. LOL & guess what..................everyone loved it!!!  That made me feel  much better still a little concerned with it but overall I was ok with me. Its still a difficult thing, confidence but Im getting it LOL.  ( I will post pictures at another time of my short do)

So I typed all of this to say that HAWTies that everyone journey's is different & some may be a lot more easier than most. But hang in there is the main thing, cuz this is something that you really want to try then nothign should discourage you, not even opinions. LOL. People are going to talk no matter what you do so you might as well fulfill your own happiness. I will keep you HAWTies updated with different products & techniques will further post, Im think'n videos to make it more personal. Please type to me HAWTies with your journey info or questions I would love to hear from you.

Risque Runway Report: Women’s Couture Fall 2011

The heart of Haute Couture…

There were Galliano Dior shapes, Galliano Dior winks, even Galliano Dior audacity. What there was not: the Galliano Dior mastery that transported so much of his work, including some of his safest collections, to a land of rare beauty. To Gaytten and Venegas’ credit, they did not play safe, opting for visual overstatement on multiple levels: shape, color, pattern. Ironically, the grandest pieces — huge, elaborately wrought ballgowns — were the collection’s most beautiful, including one look in which Karlie Kloss made a beguiling Pierrot.

The Art Of Couture: Christian Dior Fall Couture 2011

I dont care what anyone says I would rock this fit minus the yellow box hat, but knowing me I just may LOL

Personal HAWTie update.......................

Hey HAWTies I know this past month or so my post have really slowed down, but please dont fret or stop coming by LOL, Ive been going thru a lot in my life lately. The most recent was the death of my little brother Dante, he was only 19 & it was very sudden (sometimes thats how death rolls) so much so that I had a range of emotions flowing thru me & my family. My heart just broke for my daddy & step mom, I couldnt imagine going thru what they had no choice but to go through. They both did way better than what I think I could have done. Needless to say there was no posting in me at the time. Im sure you all can more than understand what Im going thru. So Im not going to apologize for the little hiatus but I will say that you HAWTies will be getting the old MH style of posting back!!! I have truly missed blogging & fashion!!!! I truly have, thanks so much for still support me thru the lack of posts.

Brandy has really grown into her own over the years, remember when she first came out she had us all rocking the braids with the hats singing we just want to be down, now here she stands a mother, singer, rapper, actress the list goes on but she should be more than produd of her accomplishments. AND Derek did his thing but he always delivers. Who do you HAWTies wanna see in his next shoot & what would be the theme????? TYPE TO US HAWTies..........
