VMA's 2009

So lets just say this year's VMA's was a doozy. From memorable and heart warming tributes to showstopping and somewhat scary performances, to just utter ignorance, the VMA's had it all.
Lets begin with the opening act. Now this is what I call a tribute to the KING OF POP, MJ. Madonna's speech was touching, but the dancing was what made the moment. All the performances were just phenomenal. Choreography was on point! I even saw some familiar faces paying homage, Ms. Laurie Ann Gibson and Chris Judd. When Janet came out and did the Scream number, my eyes were literally overflowing with tears. That was a proud moment for me. I felt like I had given birth to this strong and endearing woman. What she did, I probably would never been able to do, so I applaud her. She killed that performance!!! Kudos Ms. Jackson.

On to the performances that stood out. Bey's performance was killer and I was loving the sequence body suit. Just jaw dropping. "Put yo hand in his face", love it, lol!! Pink's, was another performance I loved. The acrobatic skill and the stamina this woman processes is amazing! Very unique and different. And Speaking of unique and different, Lady Gaga, oh Lady Gaga. Don't get me wrong, I love her music, but this performance and hell her different looks, just scared the sh** out of me. Why is she hanging with blood dripping, what is this red getup covering your entire face, hell what is the Eskimo, scarecrow looking number? Just confused , just confused by it all. Taylor Swift did a great job as well. especially after what she just encountered.

Drum roll please. If they were giving out awards for the most ignorant and wtf moment female and male nominees, Kayne and Lil Mama would be hands down the winners. Kayne leave the henny alone please darling. Obviously you forgot you were attending an award show. My mouth literally hit the floor when this fool took the mic away from Taylor Swift and said, " Hey Taylor, I'm really happy for you and I will give you the mic back when I'm finished, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time." WTF and this fool actually gives her the mic back. Do you really think she has something left to say after that buffoonery? She only 19 and the sweetest kid and you do that to her on live TV, in front of millions. Can you say azzhole. And that apology was medicore to say the least. Please come better than that Kayne. Kudos to Bey for allowing Taylor to have her moment. Such a classy act, that's why I love my girl Bey.

And Lil Mama, who invited you on stage during the Jay-Z performance. He and Alicia were killing this song, which is my fav off the Blueprint 3, and then she shows up and injects her foolishness onto the moment. Oh no mam, please go back where you belong, I think ABDC is calling. The funny part was when Hov patted Lil Mama on the leg to fall back and even threw in a quick joke, saying, "You T-Paining right now," but to no avail she remained. He should have free styled her azz off the stage.

Lots of good,weird, and oh hell noo moments. I was throughouly entertained.

See Ya!!

HAPPY 100TH ANNIVERSARY L'OREAL

I had a pleasure to be a part of L'OREAL 100TH Anniversary this year. To be a affiliated with such a great celebration with one of the top beauty companies in the world. L'Oreal has some of the most talented and beautiful spokesmodels; R& B Singer BEYONCE, Actress KERRY WASHINGTON, Andie MacDowell, Elizabeth Banks, Milla Jovoich, Supermodel Linda Evangelista, and many more is still mind blowing.

Let me say this, dreams really do come true...remember just 4 years ago I was called a REFUGEE. All of this seems so surreal when I get to my hotel I cry after doing such big events or attending big events...ask MIS SASSY. At one time I didn't think my career would be where it is today. I still have some catching up to do but it's not foggy anymore. L'Oreal cosmetics is so big on helping women and doing women events. I look forward to doing more with them and can't wait to work with Collier Strong, L'Oreal Consulting Makeup Artist.

VIDEO: Beyonce & Solange Behind The Scene

As many of you all know I am on tour right now with L'Oreal cosmetics. I wanted to show you one of my goal's and that is to work behind the scene of a L'Oreal commerical. This is a great L'Oreal Feria hair video to show you guys what it's like putting together a 60 seconds commerical. It's a good look of what Beyonce is like as well when she's on set.

Inside The Glam Life Of A Makeup Artist

Cozy Weekend

With summer school finally over and my busy schedule finally becoming less hectic, I took the time this weekend to spend quality time with my mom. The weather has been crazy this week, with plenty of showers, so we stayed in for the most part and caught up on some movies.

I finally saw Obsessed. For the most part the movie was good, but the fight scene at the end looked a lil uncomfortable for Bey. I love her to death, but acting might not be in the cards for her.

I also got a chance to see Doubt starring Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I absolutely loved this movie. It was one of the most riveting films Ive seen in a long time. The acting was pure perfection.

The last movie we watched was Confessions of a Shopaholic starring Isla Fisher. Cute movie and of course I loved the fashion.

We also managed to get some shopping in and take advantage of the sales tax break weekend. Found some really good deals. Hope you guys had a good weekend.

See Ya!!!

Shoe Envy

So this week Beyonce and the Vuitton Spring/Summer 09 shoe collection are my shoe envy choice. I love these Louis Vuitton shoes she is wearing. These shoes prompted me to check out the whole collection and I absolutely love this collection. The collection is truly artsy and something different. I will say some of these shoes are not so easy to pull off but there are some really great shoes thrown in the bunch. Very creative and tribal indeed.

I also found this Marc Jacobs shoe which is so bad azz from his Spring/Summer 09 collection. I love the geometric creativity of this shoe, which the heel is quite similiar to the shoe Anne Hathaway had on in the fall. Love it, love it.

See Ya!!!

Swagger Jacking

So its all over the gossip blogs how Ciara has swagger jacked my girl Beyonce in her new video with Justin Timberlake and her album artwork. According to the gossip blogs it might not have been intentional but CiCi allegedly hired Bey's creative team for her new album. Come on now, if this is so, could they have not come up with ideas to fit CiCi's style. They are totally different artist with different sounds and fashion style. The trip part is that CiCi released her video with JT before Bey could release her video of Ego where most of the ideas resemble each other. Something sounds fishy to me. What do you think, Is it just one big coincidence or is CiCi flat out copying Bey to get on top? Check out the pics if you haven't already seen them courtesy of mediatakeout.

See Ya!!!
