All proceeds from the auction will go towards the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa. Great Cause! Here is a Sneak Peak at some of the items Oprah will be auctioning off:





There will be over 150 items to bid on.
HAPPY BIDDING!

SHOEGASM: PRADA HEELS AND MORE CRYSTAL FASHIONS


PRADA: $1,800

BURBERRY TRENCH: Price upon request

LERARIO BEATRIZ: $276

SWAROVSKI FOR NATHAN JENDEN SUNGLASSES: Price upon request


Now this is how you make a "Statement". I would rock those Prada shoes BUT only if they were given to me as a gift. I wouldn't dip into my savings account and purchase them, Im just not totally in love but it's fair to say that they are interesting. The Crysal T-Shirt is something I would wear without a doubt and I love the color. The Trench Coat and Swarovski Sunglasses are to much for my simple taste. The only way I would see myself wearing them is maybe for a fun photo shoot, but again, you wouldnt find them in my shopping bag... Even if I could afford them!

ARTICLE: PLASTIC SURGERY NIGHTMARE


Tears fall down Deyanira Polledo's face as she gently opens her sage paper gown. Furious red scars rip through the skin around her nipples, the left of which resembles a decayed mushroom molding off its stem. Slashing wounds, pink and raw, carve deep into the flesh under her breasts.

Difference between MEN and WOMEN



THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN:

A man is driving up a steep, narrow mountain road. A woman is driving down the same road.

As they pass each other, the woman leans out the window and yells, "PIG!!"

The man immediately leans out his window and replies with, "BITCH!"

They each continue on their way, and as the man rounds the next corner he slams into a pig in the middle of the road.

MUSIC: SADE'S SOLDIER OF LOVE, RIHANNA TEACHES THE "DUTTY WINE"


Just because I AM A SADE FAN:

For the second consecutive week, SOLDIER OF LOVE, retains the # 1 spot on the charts fending off the competition with 694,000 units sold. The album exploded onto the charts last week selling a whopping 502,000 copies–reportedly making it the best sales week for an album by a group since AC/DC in 2008. Congrats to her and the band.

AND I HAD TO SHARE THIS VIDEO BECAUSE RIHANNA IS SUCH A CHARACTER AND I COULDN'T HELP BUT LAUGH WHEN I SAW THIS VIDEO...  SHE TEACHES ALAN CARR HOW TO DO SOME DANCEHALL MOVES.


HILARIOUS!

PHOTOSHOOT FAB: GRACE JONES vs AMBER ROSE


The Original photo which was taken of Grace Jones and published in New York magazine in 1978. Jones also used the image as her album cover for "Island Life" in 1985.

 Amber's version, which Kanye West recently posted on his blog, was an out-take from a shoot for "Complex Magazine" which she did  last year. Personally I feel that No one can ever give Grace Jones a run for her money when it comes to this shot or even be close to as fierce as she is. But Amber's shot is outstanding and so is her body.

MOTHERS TEACH THEIR YOUNG CHILDREN TO BECOME GOLD DIGGERS!



Tyra had some mothers on her show who had strong opinions on how they felt about "Marrying for Money".  The first Mother, ORENCIA, just really pissed me off when I saw this video, I mean it's so sad what these Uneducated women teach their kids. I mean she can barely form a proper sentence and cant even speak properly.. SAD.. and BTW "Conversate" is not a word. Early today I was reading some responses to the video and a viewer mentioned that the reason why many of these women degrade their children and teach them how to become gold diggers is because once the mothers grow old they want to have someone who can take care of them when they cant keep up with the game so that can maintain that lifestyle. I guess they dont no any better or maybe its the way they were brought up and they don't no any better. Anyway you put it it's just SAD. Hopefully these young ladies grow up to want better for themselves in life, hopefully they are stong minded young ladies with some more positive influences around them.

AFTER "ONE NIGHT" ARE YOU STILL STANDING?


I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW HOW MANY WOMEN WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED A "ONE NIGHT STAND" ARE STILL WITH THAT MAN? I was actually reading an article today which was discussing "What men really think about one night stands" and its pretty interesting that many women really feel in their hearts that going to bed with a man on the first night is a jump start to a possible relationship and the possibility of him falling in love *Blank Stare* My opinion, He may fall in love with "the sex" but not with you. If you are looking for love the last thing on your agenda should be going to bed with a complete stranger and loosing respect for yourself as a woman. You probably dont even know his last name, vice versa. Be aware of the men who will say and do anything to get with you! REAL WOMEN no that talk is cheap and not even a bottle of the most expensive Champagne from the bar is a ticket to one night of pleasure! Its all about knowing your worth and what is important to you. On the other hand the article also mentioned the fact that not ALL women go to bed to find love, some of them actually just do it for fun *Blank Stare* These are the women who just love sex when and where ever they want it. Some of them are single and just recently broke up with an X or are just in a rocky relationship and want a temporary fix or are looking for revenge. Not to mention the women who are in serious relationships and are just not "Satisfied" with their sex lives. I mean whatever happened to Communication? If you dont feel you are getting everything you need maybe you should sit down and talk to your partner about it!...NOW i'm not trying to judge anyone, HEY DO YOU, i'm just putting in my 2 cents and giving my opinion. Personally i'm anti-one-night-stand and i feel Women need to respect themselves first if they want a man to respect them at all!

A HUMBLE SLICE OF PIE



I *heart* GABOUREY SIDIBE.

Here's what she had to say in regards to being featured in VANITY FAIR MAGAZINE but not on their Young Hollywood cover for reasons which may seem obvious to some:
“Was I satisfied? Yeah, well… I mean, I come from a world where I’m not on covers and I’m not in magazines at all. And so I was happy to be in the magazine. At first I thought, ‘Hmm, should I be there? Then I very quickly got over it. I think if I were a part of that shoot I would have felt a little left out anyway. I would have felt a little like… whether or not I should have been there. [It] doesn’t matter, because I wasn’t on it and I’m excited to be mentioned anywhere, and it doesn’t matter to me where I’m not mentioned.”

CUT CALORIES WHEN DRINKING!


I know how much we enjoy our cocktails ladies but if you are trying to stay true to your diet and watch your calorie count those cocktails and mixed drinks can be dangerous when you are trying to drop a couple pounds. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH YOUR CHOICE OF DRINK!  I have been trying to maintain more  healthy eating habits and stay true to my diet plan for a little while now and its been a BIG challenge for me!!!  So heres a few tips to help cut the calories when drinking socially that i have found helpful as well.

Try Having a Glass of RED OR WHITE WINE (5 ounces) which is about a total of 100 Calories as your choice of drink. The good thing about a glass of wine is that we tend to sip it slowly which means consuming less ounces and cutting back on calories of course. If wine just doesnt cut it for you try a 3 ounce COSMO! I personally enjoy Cosmos. This 3 ounce Cocktail contains about 165 Calories. OR you can even have GIN AND TONIC if that floats your boat. 8 ounces will only contain less than 176 Calories which beats a Long Island Ice Tea which has 780 Calories! If you really dont mind a LIGHT BEER, I do not drink beer personally, that would be a good choice as well. 12 oz contain aprox. 98-136 Calories. "THE BEST SINGLE RULE FOR SMART DIET DRINKING IS TO MAKE EVERY SECOND DRINK A GLASS OF WATER"  Heres the thing ladies, In a "Social Setting" we tend to feel awkward when we have nothing in our hands so we tend to overindulge to keep up with the crowd, this can be a problem when you are trying to loose weight and cut back on those calories. Try sipping some water instead and you wont feel empty-handed. This a healthier choice and this way you prevent hangovers as well. "Avoid dessert cocktails that contain sugared rims, chocolate sauce, hot buttered rum and other sweet touches."

Hope that helps!



Cheers!

RHI RHIS LOOK IN SOUTH KOREA!


RIHANNA rocked this look to an autograph signing todayfor Rated R in South Korea at Coex mall.
Im not sure if its the tail that is really throwing me off but overall the hoodie is just to kiddie in my opinion and im not feeling it at all. Not my fav. look for her but she probably was just being a little playful with her choice of wardrobe seeing that in Asia they are more playful with Fashion which is always cute. The Boots on the other hand are to die for.

Speaking of RIHANNA, Fashion week in NY began today and reports say that her commanding price to appear at a show is $100,000 and up!
