Smiley Miley Smoking the Bong

I can just see, Miley Cirus at a party trying to fit in saying, " No, No, I'm just like you Guys..." She's laughing too hard at jokes and talking too loud.   Then someone passes her the bong, she grabs it quickly and takes a smoke and doesn't hesitate just to fit in.

Miley Cirus ain't cool.  Cool people act angry and don't show excitment unless something is bad or dangerous.  They seem old before their time and act as if they've seen it all.  There is no Easter Bunny, no Santa Claus and no such thing as true love.

Miley has the best of both worlds her youth and millions of dollars.  Her persona is happy and she has a  infectious smile to top it off. Can't you just imagine her being good, nice, and friendly. 

I wish Miley Cirus would stop working too hard to be grown up, because wearing sexy clothes and singing sexy songs don't make a person mature.  Maybe she should go to college.

I believe in happy times and happy people. I understand that life has it's challenges but love will conquer.  God bless Smiley Miley keep her from the road of Brittany Spears, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan.

Money Can Cure Ugly

When Chris Rock first started on Saturday Night Live he looked like Predator. He had huge slippery yellow teeth, 3 different hair styles a box, a Jheri curl and a Michael Jackson pompadour and he was hungry-for-real, skinny. I guess he was funny but my nose always drew up when I saw him on the screen. Recently, I saw a commercial announcing Chris Rock to host an awards show and he looked great, truth is, he has for a long time. He had 1 hair style, Malcolm X inspired horn rimmed glasses and donned a tuxedo and if he falls short on the night of the show the producer will use the trusty air brush.

Money can cure ugly. Chris moved to Hollywood, the glam culture, began using high end beauty products, a beauty regime that defies blemishes, acne, psoriasis, pimples and break outs is all the brother needed, right? Wrong, some people swear by brands Olay, Mary Kay, Lancome, Fashion Fair but beauty is not in the bottle but a daily fought battle.

Skin care is what a person does daily to take care of their skin. According to Debra Evans, author of Beauty and the Best, soap is soap, exfoliant is scrub and moisturizer is lotion. The trick is to buy products according to your individual skin type; dry, oily, combination and clean, exfoliate and moisturizes on a regular schedule. Discontinue to use the product if soreness, redness or more breakouts occur.

Naughty & Nothing Nice

Yesterday, I spotted “Old Grand Candy” doing her thing as a retail clerk. You may have seen her too; jet black rooster hair-cut, sky scraping eyelashes, black slacks 2 sizes too small and a pair of classic white Reboks. Old Grand Candy this blog is for you.

Dear Old Grand Candy:

Congratulations, on your efforts to look good. I am inspired by your never ending interest in fashion and beauty. But I would like to reveal a secret, “40 is NOT the new 20”?

Just as anyone can spot an old daisy from a fresh rose others realize you are not dressing your age and assume you are not too smart. Man up and wear your size 14, 16, etc. Your size will lie flat (not baggy) on your hips and thighs, in the future avoid clothes intended for teens.

Realize your fashion potential and pick sophisticated colors and dabble in classic pieces. Show the world 40 is a new opportunity to have fun with style. Because everybody knows a 40-something woman with hurting feet and too tight pants…ain’t nothing nice.

Sincerely,

Sarobi

Santa Claus is a Fashionista

Santa Claus is coming to town. When I was a little kid I could get holy ghost happy singing, “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”, Santa was the bOOm-bOOm.

Dressed in my favorite color, red, with matching hat, his accessories were classical perfection. The thick black belt was figure flattering and caused him to have an hour glass shape, even though we know Santa had a lot of cream filling. The knee boots in neutral black made Santa appear long even if he wasn’t lean.

Take a tip from Santa this season. Chose a matching hat and coat. Consider scale when picking accessories. If you are statuesque pick boots and a bag that covers some real-estate avoid the shameless “pop” of color and DO IT BIG.

Santa made the outfit. Can you imagine what he is wearing underneath. Perhaps a black tuxedo and tails perfect for the New Years Gala.
