Something new

Hi, peoples! Hope you're all well out there and coping okay with the high cost of living, rising fuel prices and all that.

Thanks much for all your comments, even though I had to delete a few cussing me out about that darn tattoo post from over a year ago. Some folks take things way too seriously....

Anyhoo, a friend of mine, who we'll call Starr, is at this moment winging her way to China, where she'll be living for the next two months while she completes a course. She'll be contributing to the blog on what I hope will be a regular basis, and giving us an insight into life in China, its preparations for Olympics and other areas of interest.

Hopefully you'll all stay tuned for that.

Two of Black America's powerhouses recently graced the covers of the affluent publications Time Magazine and Black Enterprise.

For a publication like Time Magazine to throw its support behind a yet uundeclared candidate says a lot. This is really going to start a war in the Clinton camp...


And Ms. Oprah Winfrey chats exclusively with Black Enterprise magazine for its June issue about the beginning of her career and her business choices. On Friday, May 16, Black Enterprise will name Winfrey’s Harpo Inc. its 2008 be100s Company of the Year. Good job.

So, what's the latest with with R&B lovebirds Rihanna and Chris Brown? The couple was spotted all pda'd recently in a Miami KFC.




Hmmm. I wonder if one of them has an endorsement from KFC? Seriously though...it's good to see them having a bit of normalcy.

Rihanna's 'Take A Bow' video

The latest video from Rihanna, 'Take A Bow' has finally hit the net.
You can watch it here

Rihanna continues to dominate the fashion world, recently going on a photo shoot for InStyle magazine.




She also rocked a hot Gucci dress for US Weekly magazine.




Do your thing then, Rih-Rih.

Catching up

Hi, peoples. I feel really horrible for ignoring this blog for so long but things have been really overwhelming of late. I was even considering shutting down the blog for a while but frankly I miss blogging and reading your comments.

So, what's been going on since I last posted? Well, fuel prices rose again and along with that most other things. It's definitely time to watch the coppers now. I know some folks who are downsizing their vehicles to ones with smaller tanks.


The other big news story going on (and on and on and on) is that of the Ghanaians and Nigerians stranded in Barbados. The whole thing is as fishy as Oistins Market after a big catch. I've heard so many things to make me believe that something crooked went down with their trip here, and I think they were duped and need to come clean.

Now Government is going to have to pay $1.2 million to get them back home. Doesn't Caribbean Airlines have a plane we could charter at a cheaper cost? Damn.

Guess who?

Guess who's hitting the tattoo parlour again?

That was easy, right? None other than local songstress Rihanna, who recently extended her star-spangled tat at Whatever Tattoo Parlour in New York.


Rih Rih was in NYC to attend a party for her personal assistant, Melissa Forde (the red-headed girl you see in a lot of photos with Rihanna).



And who else was in attendance? Rihanna not-boyfriend of course, Chris Brown.


He's cute and all, but he really needs to update his wardrobe. Work that out, Rih Rih.

Rihanna "Takes a Bow"

What has local Grammy winner Rihanna been up to these days? I came across these photos of Rih-Rih shooting a music video for her single "Take a Bow", which is on her latest album Good Girl Gone Bad.




Looks like fun. Doesn't that red jacket remind you of Michael Jackson in his Thriller video? I'll be sure to see if I can post up the video when it's completed.
