Beaute

FASHION. For some reason, my parents and I were talking about Cleopatra. I thought she was supposed to be this tanned Egyptian goddess-like beauty. My dad revealed to me that she was actually a fair Grecian woman, not a total Betty (Clueless lingo!). However, she was clever, which explains why she is honoured in modern culture. To put it in perspective for me, my dad said Kim Kardashian is along the lines of what Cleopatra would have looked like. I immediately thought of her February Harper's Bazaar shoot, a tribute to one of her idols, the late Elizabeth Taylor. If you haven't seen them yet...here are a few!

Yay or Nay?

LIFESTYLE. People keep telling me I look like Gracie from British Skins. I don't watch the show so I had to google her. The actress that plays her is Jessica Sula; she's a pretty girl, interesting face. She's a lighter complexion and has longer finer hair than I. I kind of disagree, other than the fact that we have the same head shape. Those who have seen me, yay or nay?

Orange Moon

LIFESTYLE. Today I was talking about how much I wish I had a dancer body. But not a muscular dancer body, an hourglass dancer body. Mila Kunis's Black Swan body was amazing! That is basically the look I want to achieve...without starving myself (I like cookies too much) and a little more meaty. I think I'm going to purchase some workout/running shoes to tone up...just not Sketchers shape ups or Reebok running tone, which actually aren't that horrid looking I just don't like Reebok.

FASHION. I absolutely looooove turbans! And now I finally know how to tie them, both the half headband way and full head cover way. Now I just need to buy some really cool scarves! I'll probably be wearing one tomorrow, TEST RUN.

Solange Knowles wearing the turban well!

SIDENOTE. I know I just posted about Karreuche Tran yesterday, but something about her really catches my eye...what could it be? I'll keep watching to figure it out!

Maybe it's the head wrap? 

Take-Out

LIFESTYLE. I haven't taken the time to update my blog in like a month, so since I have some down time...I'm taking advantage of it. Sooooo life's been pretty hectic. Play practice is so time consuming, plus ACT prep class. As I'm sure you can imagine life is just a little rough.
Saturday my dance team and I were in a Shortie Mac vid. He's not famous yet, but his song is pretty catchy. He's only eleven, which made me feel old, but also behind lol. Like what was I doing at eleven? Here's the link to his song www.imradio.com/main_index.php?f=artists_view&purl=shortiemac

SIDENOTE. Chris Brown's new model girlfriend, Karrueche Tran is best friends with my favorite Baldwin Hills star Seiko Huffman! I've always thought that Seiko was extremely beautiful and down to earth, so that says something about Karrueche's character...possibly? And they are both minis (around 5'1" to 5'3" respectively)!
