Just in case you thought that shaved head was your idea....

Meet "Queen Kelis", the originator. I know, I know get over it. But the more and more I see those wanna be fashion icons(I will not say her name). I get sad because nobody ever mentions that well, Kelis was doing it 5 years ago.

Somtimes I love her, Sometimes I love her not...

O, good old New York. Home of Lady Liberty and the fashion capital of the world. I want you so bad I can taste you, and I am in so much anticipation of our spring tryst together I can hardly focus on finals......but life keeps getting in the way of our love.

-Yes, I wrote a love poem to New York. Why? Because, it seems to me that fate may not want me to make it there this January. First I and my academic record had to go under review(my advisor told me not to worry about this.) But after that minor hold up, now I've just found out my finances are lacking. I have realized that when I get to New York City, I will be beyond broke. Which is where you loyal readers come in, I am passing the collection plate to you guys. I have posted a donation button above this post, please donate any amount you can afford. I will greatly appreciate, and the favor will be returned if need be.

Where did all the black men go?!?

In recent news, the public has been very mad at golf great Tiger Woods. Why you ask? Well there's two reason's.

1. He has allegedly cheated on his wife with at least 10 women.

2. His wife, and all of his mistresses are not black.

***I have personally refrained from the conversation of inter-racial dating because it is very controversial, and I for one have never had anything against a man or woman dating outside their race. However, the black female population are angry because all of the good men are being taken by other races. But, I've always thought of it this way, both of my grandparents are bi racial and if it wasn't for that I wouldn't be the same person I am today.***

I HAVE NEVER SWAYED ON MY BELIEF, THAT PEOPLE SHOULD LOVE WHO THEY WANT TO LOVE NO MATTER THE RACE. BUT TODAY I ACTUALLY GOT ANGRY WHEN I REALIZED HOW MANY SUCCESSFUL BLACK MEN HAVE GIVEN UP ON BLACK WOMEN. IT LEAVES ME TO THINK, WILL I HAVE TO GIVE UP ON BLACK MEN AS WELL?!

The things I love about winter!

While fall is my favorite season because you get to pretty much combine all the seasons wardrobes into one. (Leggings, boots, skirts and dresses, cute jackets, flats and shorts-when it's still a bit warm.) I do really love winter, and no not just because of Christmas. I love winter dressing, although I am trudging around campus trying to stay warm- I have decided that I will become a fashionable snow bunny. I have posted, som pics to the right, of my new winter must haves, that are warm and fashionable. Enjoy!

Would you like to be published?!?

The magazine I work for is currently looking for poets and artists to submit their work. The magazine is a campus based publication, but we are accepting submissions from all over. If you are interested, please send your work to: kentuhuru@gmail.com

In the meantime......

Holiday Cheer

Image via Wikipedia

As a child I loved the holidays, having the housed filled with the sweet aroma's of my Grandma's cooking. Helping to decorate the tree, and of course the presents! But what do I miss most of all about my childhood holidays? The family time! I can remeber like it was yestereday staying up all night drinking egg nog and eating cookies with my Dad, as we watched The Santa Claus(my fav christmas movie!) on repeat. And watching the enjoyment my Grandmother had, as me and my cousins helped decorate.

---This year however is different, actually holidays haven't been the same since I became a teenager. So, this year I set out to make a christmas resolution---To spend as much simple quality time with my loved ones as possible. Who know's maybe me and my Dad will crack open some egg nog and cookies.

Follow me everywhere.....
