Sorority Sisters * The Divine Nine* comes to VH1



Earlier this year the Black Greek World was shook when it was announced that a reality tv show based around the sororities of the Divine Nine would be released and shown on VH1. The creator of the show was "Mona Scott Young" the creator of VH1s "Love and Hip Hop" tv series and many people decided to call her out for exploiting black women. I personally say if you call it exploitation then guess who allowed it to be done. The women on the show. I personally don't think its exploitation, but call it what you want.


 
 
VH1 might be a step ahead of the rest of other networks when it comes to reality tv in the black community. Their newest reality show is set to premier Dec 15, 2014 with the title "Sorority Sisters"
Although many people dont agree with this show, Im more than sure they're going to watch it. While watching lets keep in mind that even though it says reality tv there's no way to know what is real and what is staged.

Upon hearing about the premiere of the show many Divine 9 greeks expressed negative opinions about the show. I'm greek but I'm not Divine 9 greek so maybe I honestly would never understand why people are upset. But there are people all over the reality tv realm and we know they are greek, and they have and are acting a fool yet no one sees anything wrong with them being on their perspective shows.

These ladies are the not the first members of a BGLOs to be featured on a reality tv show and will not be the last. I feel like people are making a big deal out the entire ordeal.

Let's be honest, you might not agree with the show * But I bet you'll be watching it* (side eye, yes I threw a little bit of shade)

The show follows the lives of 9 women who reside in BLACK HOLLYWOOD aka Atlanta, Georgia. The women come from all different back grounds and are members of the 4 Black Sororities in the Divine 9. For those of you not tracking the sororities are

Alpha Kappa Alpha
Delta Sigma Theta
Zeta Phi Beta
Sigma Gamma Rho








MEET THE CAST

The following bios were pulled straight from the VH1 website. Whoever did the bios seriously slacked off. I don't understand how they can be content with putting only a sentence up for one of the cast members. Surely there's something else about her that you can tell the people.


 ADRENE ASHFORD





Adrene, owner of trendy boutique House of Adrene, is the go to wardrobe stylist for various celebrities and local socialites. Her career naturally comes with its own share of drama, but Adrene has no problem handling conflicts head on. Being 3,000 miles away from her family in L.A., and after a recent breakup with her ex boyfriend, Adrene often feels the world is against her and oftentimes doesn't allow people to get to know "the real Adrene."



APRIL

April splits her time providing speech therapy to private clients, while working on her dissertation and running her Buckhead clothing store, House of Couture Boutique. Now she's taking it one step further by launching an online store. April's passion is fashion and she won't let anyone stand in the way of her dreams!


CATHERINE HARPER

Cat is a symbol of every young 20-something trying to find her footing post-college in the real world. After attempting to be a model, and spending years as a lowly assistant to A-list Atlanta photographer Derek Blanks, Cat has finally taken the initiative to pursue a career as a solo professional photographer.

JOY



Joy is a teacher by day to pay the bills, but her heart is in acting.






LYDIA


After college, Lydia experienced some high profile success as a professional dancer for Robin Thicke at the VMA's. However, being a single mother to a 4 year old, Lydia has struggled to make ends meet! To get back on her feet, Lydia has left her daughter with her mother/grandmother in Alabama. As time and money dries up in Atlanta, Lydia gives up on her college dreams of dancing, and goes after her plan B of a career in public relations, to get her daughter to move to ATL. At 5'3", Lydia is big on achieving her goals.

METOYA


MeToya works for a clinical research organization and is very committed to her sorority. She felt a strong desire to pledge because she yearned to have the relationships and sisters she didn't have growing up as an only child. As a single mother, MeToya has honed her skills as a hustler, always juggling odd jobs to pay the bills. In this next chapter of her life, MeToya wants to make stronger relationships with new sorors, weed out bad people in her life and finally get the closure she needs with her child's father...who she admittedly still has feelings for.


PRIYANKA BANKS


Priyanka, a former Miss ASU is a multi-faceted individual - dances burlesque at night for fun, and pounds the pavement during the day in hopes of starting a big foot shoe line! Priyanka is very comfortable in her own skin. Priyanka will defend her lifestyle, family, beliefs and sorors against any haters. Priyanka is currently looking for a man.


SHANNA

Shanna grew up in Arkansas as an obese kid. Like the movie, “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead,” Shanna fell in love with juicing in recent years and lost 70 pounds. Shanna is very sensitive about being white in an African-American sorority.





VERONICA

Veronica is as a choreographer, dancer, and makeup artist, and was previously a cheerleader for the Hawks, but after an injury sidelined her, she was forced out. Veronica has a fiancé who she's in a long-distance relationship with - Veronica is in ATL, while he's in Austin, TX. The couple is trying to figure out how to actually live together and finalize their wedding. Veronica is torn between living her dreams as a professional dancer or moving forward with the man she loves.
 


From the looks of things I think my favorite might just be Catherine Harper, I've been following her photography in Atlanta for a while so I already knew who she was before I knew she was on the show. Overall she seems to be a very well rounded motivating woman.

Say Hello to MADEA THE CARTOON




Tyler Perry does it again and this time he's coming for the kids. I have heard people talk bad about Tyler Perry on numerous occasion but one thing you can agree on is his hustler mentality. Tyler Perry does not quit and will continue to work his franchise no matter what. I'm happy to see him bring Madea to the animated scene, maybe he do a spin off and turn this into a cartoon series. Be sure to check out Madea's Tough Love January 2015 and check out the trailer below.

Tyler keep up the great work, and please know there are some of us out here who definitely love and support what you do.

MISANDRIST by SkyyT * Book Review*

Okay Let me let warn you now, if you have not read an URBAN book, you might not be able to handle MISANDRIST because it simple goes there.






First off Skyy taught me a new word. I had no idea what a MISANDRIST was. Being that MISANDRIST was a short story there isn't time to play around and beat around the bush. The story started in the middleof an intense scene and from the beginning drew me in and had my like DAMN. The story continues to keep its upbeat tempo and as it progress the author has me on the edge of my seat anticipating whats next to come.

Being that it is a short story the author has to aim to keep the readers attention. SkyyT did an excellent job at capturing the reader from the beginning and giving them the suspense desired to carry them to the end. She provides the reader with a captivating intro and provides the drama that is necessary for a short read. I definitely would recommend this to anyone who loves a good Urban Fiction read.

The short story was originally available on AMAZON for $1.00 but is currently free for a short limited time. Check out the short story and please leave a review on the amazon website for the author and let her know what you think.

Congratulations on the publication of your first short story Skyy.

*NEW SONG* Nicki Minaj feat Beyonce (FEELING MYSELF)





Nicki is back on the scene and is set to release her new album THE PINK PRINT on December 15, 2014. I checked out the songs on the album and saw that she had a song featuring Queen Bey and I instantly got excited.

But what else is new since I always get excited when new music with Beyonce is released even if she's only a featured artist on the track.

Check out her newest feature she did with rap phenom Nicki Minaj and yes she's still in her YONCE mode. Let me know what you think about the song ( The Good Bad and the UGLY). You all should know that I'm jamming out to it as I type this blog.

The line in the sign that stands out to me the most is when Nicki says that her YOU KNOW WHAT IS ON FLEEK * covers my mouth* I forgot that Nicki is a rap artist and can be a bit vulgar at times. Either way I'm still loving it

BEYONCE kills it when she sings

Changed the game with that digital drop
Know where you was when that digital popped
I stopped the world
Male or female, it make no difference
I stop the world, world stop...
Carry on















Yo B, they ready

I'm with some hood girls lookin' back at it
And a good girl in my tax bracket
Got a black car that let sax have it
These Chanel bags is a bad habit
I do balls, Dal Mavericks
My Maybach, black magnet
Bitch, never left but I'm back at it
And I'm feelin' myself, jack rabbit
Feelin' myself, back off
Cause I'm feelin' myself, jack off
Heard he thinks about me when he whacks off
Whacks off? Wax off
National anthem hats off
Then I curve that nigga like a bad toss
Lemme get a number 2 with some mac sauce
On The Run Tour with my mask off

I'm feelin' myself, I'm feelin' myself
I'm feelin' my, feelin' myself
I'm feelin' myself, I'm feelin' my, feelin' my, feelin' myself
I'm feelin' myself, I'm feelin' my, feelin' myself
I'm feelin' myself, I'm feelin' my

Carry on

Kitty on pink, pretty on fleek
Pretty gang always keep them niggas on geek
Ridin' through Texas, fearin' for his breakfast
Everytime I whip it I be talkin' so reckless
He said "damn Nicki its tight"
I say "yeah nigga you right"
He say "damn bae you so little but you been really takin' that pipe"
I say "yes daddy I do, gimme brain like NYU"
I said "teach me, nigga, teach me
All this learnin' here is by you"

I'm whippin' that work, he diggin' that work

Hank full of that bounce baby
Come get you some of that bounce baby

I'm feelin' myself, I'm feelin' myself

Ridin' through Texas, smokin' all the

I can heal your migraine

Bitches ain't got punchlines or flow
I have both and an empire or so
He gettin' gifts from Santa Claus at the North Pole
Today I'm icy but I'm prayin' for some more snow
Let that, let that nigga know
He in love with that coco
Why these bitches don't never be learnin'
You n*ggas will never get what I be earnin'
I'm still gettin' plaques from my records thats urban
Ain't gotta rely on top 40
I am a rap legend, just go ask the kings of rap
Who is the queen and things of that
Nature, look at my finger
That is a glacier, hits like a lazer
Flippin' on that work, trippin' off that purp
Flippin' up my skirt and I be whippin' all that work
Takin' trips with all them ki's, car keys got b's
Stingin' with the Queen B and we be whippin' all that D
Cause we dope girls we flawless
We the poster girls for all this
We run around with them ballers
Only real niggas on my call list
I'm the big kahuna, go let them hoes know
Just on this song alone, bitch is on her fourth flow

2014 Victoria Secret Fashion Show *Pre Look*




It's that time of year again. No I'm not talking about the holiday season I'm talking about the sexiest night on television. Everyone loves Victoria Secret, I mean how can you not. Honestly only a fool would not. Therefore we all love the annual Victoria Secret Fashion Show.

This years show has a slight twist and has moved to a location outside of our beloved United States. Victoria Secret decided to take the fashion show across the pond to the United Kingdom and had the Angels spread their wings in the city of London.

Like the fanatic VS and fashion fan that I am, I have already seen majority of the show and was getting LIVE updates as it progressed on 3 Dec 2014 when it was filmed.
Sorry to burst your bubble. But the Victoria Secret Fashion Show is not a LIVE event. The producers have to prefect those awesome end of the runway slow-motion scenes ahead of time.

This years show features 6 different themes

GILDED ANGELS
UNIVERSITY OF PINK
EXOTIC TRAVELER
FAIRY TALE
DREAM GIRL 
ANGEL BALL

The fashion show also features 4 performers Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, and Hozier. I'm looking forward to seeing Taylor's performance the most, I simply love her new song BLANK SPACE.

CHECK OUT A SNEAKPEEK OF TONIGHT'S SHOW



Be sure to check out the show on 9 December 2014 on CBS ( YES THAT IS TONIGHT)
I'm excited to see 2 of my favorites " Jourdan Dunn and Joan Smalls" rip the runway. They both were featured in Beyonce's YONCE music video. Enjoy the show tonight, I definitely know I will.

MISS AMERICAN BEAUTY 2014-2015






Beauty is a subject area that can be viewed in many different ways. We first get stuck at the initial question " WHAT IS BEAUTY" Is it lighter skin, longer hair and light eyes? Or is it full lips, curly hair and dark eyes. Whatever it may be beauty comes in many colors, shapes and sizes. Beauty is a combination of looks, poise and confidence. Beauty can sometimes be overwhelming but if it is captured in the right light and in the right atmosphere it is the essence of its name and that is  BEAUTIFUL.


I have the pleasure of knowing someone who is both BEAUTIFUL inside and out. She is hardworking, caring and has such a free spirit. She has an aurora about her that's pleasant to be around and sees things in a different light.


I would like to introduce to you, your MISS AMERICAN BEAUTY 2014-2015, Miss Scottesha Miller. She goes by Skyy and hails from Daytona, Florida. Skyy is a graduate of The University of Oklahoma "class of 2011" where she was an All American Track and Field athlete.


On November 29, 2014 in San Antonio, Texas she was awarded the title of Miss American Beauty 2014-2015 after a rigorous day of events that included having to complete an interview, being judge in swimwear or fitness attire, and rocking an awesome evening gown in front of the judges. She was also judged on her stage presence throughout the entire pageant.






I wanted to capture Skky's pageant experience and asked her a few questions below 


Skyy did you do anything extra to prepare for the pageant?

I decided to focus on fitness and my body. Not only did I want to look my best for the pageant but I also want to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I also took the time to do some research on pageants and looked at what type of gowns were being worn in the pageant circuit along with what would be an acceptable head shot. From there I use what I learned from my research and implemented it within the pageant I participated in. 

Did you have any issues/obstacles that happened during the pageant that you had to overcome?

Yes I unfortunately lost my shoes. While at the pageant I look in my box and my shoes were gone. I think I ended up leaving them in my hotel room or on the bus. My shoe size happens to be a size 8 but I ended up having to wear a size 6. Thanks to Miss Fit American Beauty for lending a helping hand. 


When you realized you won the titled what was the first thing that you thought and how did you feel? 

I was talking not expecting to win, I don't know I  just didn't feel my best BUT I did win, I felt elated & surprised but I was alone so the win wasn't as special 







Now that you have the title what are you looking forward to the most as Miss American Beauty 2014-2015?

I'm looking forward to becoming a household name and bringing awareness and exposure to my businesses, I will use this will as a platform. 

Congratulations Skyy on your phenomenal win you hard work and dedication definitely paid off. Enjoy your reign and keeping doing amazing things.

If you would like to keep up with her reign and follow her journey

We Gotta Pray




WE GOTTA PRAY

Pregnancy is not keeping Alicia Keys from using her sultry voice to get her message across during a time of duress in our country. She has been very vocal online throughout the past days expressing her opinions on the injustice that occurred in Mike Brown's case.

On 3 Dec 2014 Alicia Keys released a new song entitled " We Gotta Pray" in light of the protests that are taking place nation wide. America has a serious issue and until everyone can admit that the issue is race then maybe we can move on to bigger and greater things until then all we can do is let our voices be heard and PRAY.

A. Keys girl I am loving the song, keep inspiring, empowering and motivating us. We love you.








.



Alicia Keys "We Gotta Pray" lyrics

Come on, uh-huh
You know

We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray

Pray for the world tonight
We gotta save, somebody save somebody tonight
Fire in the air, what the hell going on?
Sirens everywhere, singing that street song
Violence everywhere, barely holding on
What the hell going on?
Do you know who you are?
Do you know who we are?


[Chorus]
We, we're extraordinary people
Living an ordinary life
Growing stronger to every question
We're gonna make it or dying, 'till we gotta pray

Pray for the love tonight
Another day, pray for another try
Smoke is in the sky, what the hell going on?
Bullets gonna fly, fly right from the gun
Trying not to cry, barely holding on
What the hell going on?
Do you know who you are?
Do you know who we are?

[Chorus]
We, we're extraordinary people
Living an ordinary life
Growing stronger to every question
We're gonna make it or dying, 'till we gotta pray

We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray,
We gotta pray



You know)
We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray, pray for the world tonight
We gotta save, somebody save somebody tonight
Fire in the air, what the hell goin’ on?
Sirens everywhere, singin’ that street song
Violence everywhere, barely holdin’ on
What the hell goin’ on?
Do you know who you are?
Do you know who we are?

We, we’re extraordinary people
Living an ordinary life
Growing stronger to every question
We’re gonna make it or dying, ’till we gotta pray

Pray for the love tonight
Another day, pray for another try
Smoke is in the sky, what the hell goin’ on?
Bullets gonna fly, fly right from the gun
Trying not to cry, barely holdin’ on
What the hell goin’ on?
Do you know who you are?
Do you know who we are?

We, we’re extraordinary people
Living an ordinary life
Growing stronger to every question
We’re gonna make it or dying, ’till we gotta pray

We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray,
We gotta pray!

NEW VIDEO *BEYONCE* 7/11








I'm filled with excitement as I type this blog. Currently I am deployed to the middle east specifically to the Kingdom of Bahrain. Everyday I wake up at 4am in order to get ready for the day and head to Physical Training formation which is held every weekday at 5am. Well this morning on Saturday 22 November * in the eastern hemisphere* I woke up at 4 out of habit, checked my phone and SCREAMED when I saw that my girl Beyonce was twerking on a balcony to to her new song 7/11.


This video is random and I love it, most of all I think a good portion of the video she recorded on her own. The video starts with Bey turning on a camera while she's on the balcony. She starts off the video dancing on the balcony and simply performing the moves to the words that she is singing about in her song while rocking a KALE sweatshirt. Bey proceeds to jump on a bed *that blue is sleeping on * #ItsOfficialBeyHasNoChill. She then proceeds to go to the rest room with her entourage/dancers/girls next the video heads the living room area where Bey does a bunch of random stuff in front of a Christmas Tree. The song is random so it would make since that the video be random and all over the place as well.

Beyonce has reached a point in her career where she can do what she want and have fun. She's about to have everyone twerking and just having fun this holiday season. #SmackItInTheAir

Checkout her new music video below.

New BEYONCE music leaked RING OFF and 7/11




Beyonce is set to released the Platinum edition of her Fifth Album BEYONCE on November 24. The album contains two new tracks and those 2 tracks have been leaked to the public. Beyonce usually likes to keep her music private until she wants to release them so I know she's not to happy about the leaks.

 I love both songs. In 7/11 Beyonce gives us Ratchet Bey aka YONCE and I love it. It actually might be too much for some people.

Ring Off is a bit more emotional. I currently have that song on repeat as I type this blog. This is the side of Beyonce that we are accustomed to and she serves and slays. Ring off sings about a woman who overcomes heartache from a man who no longer loves her therefore the RING COMES OFF. I'm more than sure this song is talking about the nasty breaking up between Matthew and Tina Knowles.
The song ends with a speech that was given by Tina which validates the speculations even more.I think its pretty dope that Beyonce has a song to celebrate her mama's triumph over heartache.


Now when the snippet of Ring Off was released on the 19th of November many people speculated that Beyonce was talking about her marriage when in fact she was not. It amazes me how quick people are to jump to conclusions on certain things and look like a complete fool.


 KUDOS QUEEN we love your new songs girl. Keep giving us great music. Check out RING OFF and 7/11 below. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Hope you guys like the new songs,

Disney's CINDERELLA 2015



I grew up in the Disney Princess era and longed to be like the young ladies that were depicted within the Disney movies. One of my favorite princesses was Cinderella. I loved Ella because even though she had a rough life and was mistreated by her stepmother she still chose to remain optimistic in her situation. She chose to find sunshine even on her cloudy days and that showed me that at a young age it was possible to look on the brighter side of things  and to see the LIGHT in a DARK situation. Disney's has recreated a modern day version of Cinderella and it is set to be released March 13, 2015. No longer is Cinderella in cartoon form, but she has now been brought to life.

I absolutely adore the glass slippers Ella is rocking in the trailer. Where can I get a pair?
I'm looking forward to Disney recreating their other movies as well. Below you will find the trailer. Enjoy and let me know what you think about it.

Solange Knowles stylish NOLA wedding blows us away


BEHOLD THE FABULOUS WEDDING PARTY OF SOLANGE PIAGET KNOWLES




Whenever Solange (28) does anything we should always expect that it will be unique and stylish. This weekend ( NOV 14-16) Solange wed her long time boyfriend "video director" Alan Ferguson (51) in good ole New Orleans. New Orleans is definitely a city that fits Solo's big and soulful personality and has been her home for a while now.

The couple kicked off their wedding weekend Friday night with a screening of Diana Ross's movie " Mahogany " at Indywood Cinema. The lovely couple watched Mahogany together on their first date and wanted to share this special connection with their friends and family. Before watching Mahogany they shared a documentary about their love for one another with their guest.


Solange and Alan kicked off their weekend looking chic 


SOLO is having a blast. 


The fabulous couple arrived to the site of the wedding gracefully riding bikes. Solange wore a gorgeous ivory caped jumpsuit by Stephane Rolland and definitely showed us what she was working it. Check out that amazing cleavage she has on display.

LOVING SOLO'S HAIR


Check out the couples grand entrance below







she set the standard



Take it in from the back 





Pure Happiness




What a lovely couple






Blue Ivy is rocking her fro


I am in love with Solange's pre wedding look, from her powerful Afro to the jumpsuit to the fact that she ditch a limo and rolled up to her wedding location on a bike with her hubby. Who does such a thing. That would be Solange Knowles. I expected to see her turn heads and yes indeed she did. I think she inspired Bey to let Blue Blue rock a picked out fro as well * I better not hear any nasty comments about her fro*


















Check out the Stephane Rolland jumpsuit on the runway






The wedding was held at Maringy Opera House in New Orleans and


Her guest wore all white and everyone looked amazing especially Beyonce and Mama Tina * LAWD* those family genes are nothing to be played with.





Solange rocked a Humberto Leon for Kenzo floor-lento gown *with another cape attached* along with Stuart Weitzman shoes. She also wore gold bracelets by Jill for Lady Gray. Overall Solange looked absolutely amazing. She embodied what it means to be a queen and I loved her for that. She didn't conform to modern day wedding traditions but instead chose to add her style and flavor to the ceremony and achieved amazing results. Alan's suit was a Lanvin design.





Solange's Bridal party featured her Fierce big sister Beyonce Giselle Knowles Carter, her mother Tina Beyince Knowles, cousin Angela Beyince, singer Janelle Monet, and video director Melina Matsoukas. The women in the photo give off this I AM WOMAN HEAR ME ROAR type of vibe and it intrigues me. I love the intense looks in the ladies eyes * all except Janelle Monet* This bridal portrait will go down in history as one to be remembered. Y'all already know everybody about to try and recreate this photo so brace yourself.






Alan is a video director and a native of Richmond Virginia. He directed JayZ's primetime music and video and both Party and Dance 4 You for Beyonce.


Mama Tina showing us that she still has it






Tina Knowles also was a show stopper at Solange's wedding and showed us that she's doing the damn thang at the fabulous age of 60. It's so obviously why Beyonce and Solange sparkle the way that they do * check out the woman who carried them*














Beyonce was spotted in a form fitted dress designed by Ronny Kobo it was his Maggie Lasso Diamonds Dress ($349)






Next up you will find some behind scene footage of the celebration


Solange dancing in the streets of New Orleans











Unfortunately it looks like Solange had an allergic reaction to an unknown source and ended up breaking out in hives




mother and son dance together

Check out Solange and Juelz perform a choreograph dance routine to " NO FLEX ZONE" I loved this part of her wedding 




 


Overall Solange's wedding was a home run. She looked beautiful, happy and blew the world away. KUDOS SOLO.

Also just to let you know Solange is 28 and her knew husband is 51 *WOAH* I thought the Beyonce JayZ age gap was huge but SOLO just beat out BEY BEY


Seems like the Bey and Solo both have a thing for older men. Women do mature faster than men so that could be why.  


I'm not sure if her father Married Knowles made the wedding but I really hope he did along with Kelly Rowland but I doubt it only because i couldn't find any pictures of them at the wedding.






As always Social Media blew up and even took the time to let Kim Kardashian know this is how you BREAK THE INTERNET while remaining fully clothed.



Solange officially has all unmarried women re planning their future weddings in their heads including me. We all want to be as fabulous as SOLO some day. She has me re-evaluating all my wedding plans and I'm thinking my wedding will be a fashion show "lets see what I can come up with.

Solange made an Instagram post about her special day 






Remember To Always Be
Fierce and Fabulous
