Update on Soultrain Awards 2010

   
      So I got the chance to check out the show and as I anticipated the show was real coo. Lets start with the good. I think that they were creative for the purple carpet LOL. Also having R.Kelly open the show was the best choice because he was one of the best parts of the show. OMG Terrence Howard and Taraji p. Henson are crazy for the jokes that they were doing during the show and that dance battle was crazy. I didn't think that either one of them could dance. but they showed me a litttle somethin. 

     Also the tributes were on point for Ronald Isley and Anita Baker. Now on to the bad end I felt that some of the awards that were given, were given to the wrong artist but that just my opinion LOL. Also it seems like a lot of artist didn't come out.(sad face) but all and all it was a chill little show. I'm already ready for next years show and if you messed the show it comes on tonight on BET.

THE COUNTDOWN

It's been raining in Vancouver...but we've still managed to keep working...only 3 days left to the launch party!!!  So exciting yet so challenging since Taylor and I are doing everything ourselves (with some helpful friends of course).  We are hoping to see all our friends&family and their friends&family on thursday to celebrate with us!!!  See you guys soon!

Quuens of the World

When Plastic Surgery Goes Wrong. Very Wrong.

I have nothing against a little nip or tuck, but these pictures show how some people took it way too far. It's fine when you've got a big 'ol nose or you're flat chested or you've got scarring and wish to have some reconstructive surgery done. Fix it, I say! But what the fuck went through the minds of these poor individuals below? Yes, I feel sorry for them, but somehow understand how they got to this point of no return. Going for plastic surgery is almost like getting a tattoo done. You get addicted and one is never enough. You have your breasts enlarged and suddenly you 'see' this bump on your nose or the thin lips or the love-handles. You'll start looking for flaws just so you can go back under the knife. I know. It's an addiction problem combined with a low self-esteem and it becomes an ugly obsession. But then my question is this: why can't surgeons say no or is it really all about the money? Do surgeons ever come to a point where they refuse to operate on a patient? Perhaps only once the person no longer looks like a human being? They are giving the plastic surgery industry a bad name.

Point is, the damage is done and there's nothing they can do to fix it, so they, once again, turn to plastic surgery. It's a vicious cycle. Don't get me wrong, I'm completely pro-plastic surgery, because it has changed the lives of many people for the better, but theres a fine line not to be overstepped.

This is now pass the point of scary. This is some disturbing shit. I guess it's not 'plastic surgery gone wrong', but more like 'plastic surgery gone overboard'. Proceed with caution.

All this boy needed was a haircut, but now he looks like a cartoon character.

I can't wait to see what this girl looks like when she's aged a couple of years.

Could this be a sex-change gone wrong? I'm not so sure anymore.

If Chucky and Pamela Anderson should have a baby, this is what it would look like.

Talk about overdoing it.

Just when you think she can't look worse, she gets herself a fringe.

Another sex-change-gone-wrong

Ok, I agree, this one needed surgery, but fat injections in her lips would've been enough. Now it just looks like she grew a beard.

She looks like one of the Muppets. Unless that was her idea?

There's a song written for this girl. It's called, 'Who let the dogs out?'

And the lady who probably invented plastic surgery.

Madonna, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but it's time to give it up already. You came, you saw, you made music history, but now you're just scaring us.

I think the aliens have landed.

It's not just women who get caught up in the addiction.

All I know is, after looking at these pictures, I'm happy with the way I look. So what if my nose isn't perfect or my teeth isn't super white or if I have cellulite or if I don't have calves or D-cups? I'm human and I intend on looking like one too.

Cheers to being natural.

Usher Caught up literally

        Apparently Usher is being sued for his hit single Caught Up. An artist under Alicia Keys' MBK label said that she wrote the song for her debut album and then later heard the song on Usher's Confessions album. Then she found out that she was not listed as one of the writers.


        She feels that she deserves credit and she said she also deserves damages for profit received by sales of the single. I think this is crazy, first Caught up came out in 04 So why now? This all deserves an eyebrow raise. LOL But I hope everything works out for Usher cause it seems like o girl is coming for him.  Also it seems that Alicia is also being sued for having something to do with this. It is under her label. IDK whats going on lets see how this goes.

Sarah Palin Offered $2 Million For Adult Role

The adult industry in the US isn’t waiting to find out whether or not Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin makes it to the White House next month or not. They’re cashing in on her popularity and good-looks right away.

There are already several ‘Sarah Palin’ X-rated videos waiting to be released, hundreds of fake nude images are cluttering the internet and there’s even a realistic VP blowup doll for her fans!

We’ve got a collection of behind-the-scenes images from the much-anticipated Hustler flick Who’s Nailin’ Paylin? where the Governor finally grabs some foreign policy experience with neighbors from across the Pacific.

This time the Russians really are coming :)

Cape Town Beer Festival

Saturday morning we felt a little fragile after Friday night's Sailor party, but we had to take our two winners of our Beer Fest competition to the festival. We started off with a decent, oily, made-for-hangovers breakfast, then we hit the road to the Hamilton's Rugby Stadium in Green Point. It was a bit windy, but we didn't let that stand in our way of a good party. We got there, tasted some foreign beers, stuffed our faces with pretzels and fries from Hudson's Burger (yes, a 'mobile' version of the one in Kloof Street) and even drank huge Black Label beers. I don't even drink beer, but it was actually not that bad. In fact, I might just drink it more often. There were other drinks to choose from, but I always say, 'when in Rome, do as the Romans'. We walked around at the festival and soaked up as much of it as we could, because we couldn't stay too long. Places to be, you know.

Overall the festival was fun. There were a lot of people! We missed out on the live bands, but we were in time for the rugby. We discovered this little smoking section with couches and a Foosball table, so we decided to make that our spot for the day.

Later that evening we decided that we were going to skip the Sasha Martinengo gig at China White, because we were somehow convinced to go to Wellington instead for a foam party. I just felt like doing something else for a change and a foam party was something I last did as a teen. I've never experienced a foam party quite like the one in Watergat. The foam was pouring from two machines, which were mounted to the roof, and the whole place was covered in foam. I was completely drenched! The whole place looked like one big swimming pool. I definitely want to do it again, but next time, I'll be beter prepared. I wish I had photos of this party, but we couldn't risk taking a camera in there. Or anything valuable for that matter. Oh, next time, I'm going in a bikini. Who wouldn't thought that foam can ruin your clothes the way mine was ruined! But what the heck, it was totally worth all the fun and laughter we got in return.

So glad the hectic weekend is over. Now to prep for the next weekend. The madness just never stops.

Sailor Party!

Ahoy me maties! The long awaited Sailor Party finally took place on Friday night. There's not much I can say about the party, because the photos will truly speak for itself. What a night it was! The outfits were a bit risqué, but that's what we're all about. Creating a stir. Besides, I've never received so many free shooters or posed for photos as much as I did that night. We mingled, we danced, we teazed, we laughed, we drank, we flirted, we took over and we had an absolute blast! Happy Birthday again to one of my best friends!

Double Trouble...

Everybody loves a costume party!

Me with my potential brother-in-law

And so the posing continued...

Some party guests

... and more

I'm not referring to this guy in particular, bu there is just something about a man in uniform.

It really is hard to put gloves back on when you've got alcohol in your system. I guess that's why I lost mine that night.

I loved my costume uniform. It made me feel like a Captain!
Happy Monday everyone. How are ya'll feeling? I think my weekend is catching up with me.
