Hello heartbreakers! When it comes to the holidays...I'm all about celebrating with fierce themed nails. So I thought I would share my simple video tutorial on how to get this patriotic manicure! I actually posted the video to Youtube last year and forgot to share it on my blog...silly me. At any rate, it is here now lol. Check out the video below and don't forget to share it on Facebook, Twitter, and etc. so your friends can look hot for the 4th too! Also, tag me on social media if you decide to post any pics of your work. I'd love to check it out!<br />
<br />

Well, Well, Well...today is day 26 of my fast. Yipppppy!!!! Okay, as you can see I am extremely happy that day 30 is just around the corner. This will be my last weekend on this fast...whew! I am not really craving pizza or anything today though. Probably because I know the end of this journey is near lol. This week has been okay. As discussed last week in my 3 week update video, I decided to cut back on juice. For breakfast I have my usual 32 oz. and then for lunch and dinner I do a diluted version of half juice/half water. This has made it easier for me to get all of the juice down without wanting to vomit. Plus, the scale is moving at a decent pace.<br />
<br />
In other news, I have talked hubby into doing a mini fast over the weekend with me. This should be fun! I wanted him to see a glimpse of what this journey has been like for me. So he will be fasting tonight(Friday), Saturday, and Sunday. He is looking forward to it because the juice tastes good. However, it is harder than it looks. And hopefully he will realize how hard it has been for me. Of course three days isn't long at all. But I think it's enough for him to get a little taste of the fasting life. Ideally seven days would provide a closer glimpse of the fasting lifestyle...but there is no way he could do that. He is already very skinny, so that would be too dangerous.<br />
<br />
I will keep you posted on how the hubby holds up lol! Happy Friday folks!</div>

Hello heartbreakers,<br />
<br />
It has been a few days since I posted a blog about my juicing process. So far, I have still managed to stay food-free. I've had a few temptations, and often think about food. However, I will say this weekend has been the easiest so far. It always seems like as soon as Friday comes...the cravings for pizza come right along with it lol. However, I have been fine this weekend. I'm not going to lie, juicing sucks. At this time I have sucked it up, and I am just waiting for the time to pass.<br />
<br />
I am having a hard time getting down my lunch and dinner juices. I typically make a version of the popular "mean green" juice recipe. It started out okay during week one. But by the time I got to week two, it was getting old fast! It makes me feel like I am drinking pickle juice. The weird thing is....I actually like pickle juice and drink it when I am feeling queezy. But this taste like the worst possible pickle juice or something - idk. Maybe I am going delirious at this point lol! I literally gagged and almost vomited just getting down my lunch juice tonight. Sadly, I still have a 32 oz. one to drink for dinner tonight. I honestly don't know how I can get this down without throwing up.<br />
<br />
The good news??? Well, I only have 9 more days as of tomorrow. So after tonight I will have 18 more disgusting lunches/dinners left. The breakfast ones are actually good though. Still, I can't wait to eat again. Luckily, I am mostly craving healthy foods. Luckily...</div>

Hello heartbreakers!<br />
<br />
at 11:52 a.m.<br />
<br />
So, the last time I posted here, things were a bit shaky. Friday was the worst day yet. However, I made it through! I was also a little miffed Saturday when I weighed in 1lb heavier than the previous day! I decided to go for a walk and increase my water intake. I had been slacking on my water intake for about three days at this point. I think I went down to just 4 glasses a day instead of 8. Never again lol!<br />
<br />
It is now day 8 of my juice fat...but technically one week (since I stated last Monday). Today has been great so far. My husband has been able to eat around me here and there, and it hasn't made me crazy lol. For the most part, he keeps his meals out of sight though.<br />
<br />
As always, I woke up and weighed in this morning! I won't reveal how much I am down just yet...but it will be revealed in a video/vlog later today!<br />
<br />
Oh, and here's what I juiced for breakfast...it was divine!<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>4 oranges</li>
<li>1/2 of a grapefruit</li>
<li>1 lemon</li>
<li>1 inch of ginger</li>
<li>about 8 carrots</li>
</ul>

It's day five of my fast! It's been a pretty decent day so far. Of course I still have urges to eat "normal" food...but I am not going to do so. I don't really know if the urges will completely go away. It's a little hard today because it is Friday. My husband and I normally get a pizza and watch a movie every Friday night. And if we are not doing that, we are going out to eat...or to the drive in movies with a fatty meal in tow.<br />
<br />
While doing this fast, I have realized just how much we (people in general) center things around eating. When we go out with a friend or coworker....it is usually to grab a bite to eat. Family outings normally include food in some capacity as well. And pretty much any date you go on will have some type of food or refreshing beverage there. I realize that I now associate doing certain things with eating. I associate watching movies with eating. I associate watching certain TV shows with eating because hubby and I like to watch them during weekend dinners. And even worse, I associate those movies and shows with eating specific foods (normally fatty ones like pizza, subs and etc.).<br />
<br />
So now, every single time we watch one of our favorite shows I crave the things I ate pre-fast. Pizza has been the worst craving. Part of me thought about retraining my brain and body to associate healthy eating. So perhaps I should drink my juice while watching the shows, checking FB and etc. That way, I will begin to associate relaxing and happiness with eating healthy versus associating it with eating a greasy pizza during my favorite show and getting an endorphin release.<br />
<br />
That's what this fast is about, right? Detoxing and hitting the reset button on my mind and body. One thing that has kept me strong is knowing I cannot afford to quit now. I am sooooo out of shape and something has to be done. It really helps to see the number on the scale going down every morning.<br />
Focusing on the end result is very helpful.<br />
<br />
Another helpful thing was taking a "before" picture.<br />
Sometimes it is hard to truly see how much our bodies have changed. For me, it's a true reminder or why I cannot give up on this fast. Honesty is the best policy, and sometimes we can be a bit out of touch with the reality until it smacks us right in the <strike>belly and thighs</strike> face. I encourage women to be honest with themselves. Am I ugly? Not even close. But I need to get to a place of true physical happiness. And right now...I am just not there. Hopefully I will be closer after finishing this fast, and establishing a healthier diet!</div>

At 9:56 a.m.<br />
<br />
So I woke up today earlier than usual...but feeling slightly tired. I have yet to get the burst of energy that so many juice fasters mention. I've heard it takes a week or so for that to take place. I feel a little buzzed if that makes any sense, Kind of out of it. I tried an amazing new juice recipe for breakfast. Since breakfast is supposed to be fruit heavy, I loaded that sucker up with some delicious tropical flavors.<br />

So...I told you guys last week that I planned to start a juice fast on 6/3/2013. And as promised...I did lol. As of today, I am on day three of the fast and have lost 3.6 pounds(yay)! It has been a very interesting experience so far. I didn't really realize how much of a role food played in my life.<br />
<br />
It was hard to sleep the night before - almost like it was Christmas Eve. The day before starting my fast I had pizza, sushi, and ice cream. I wanted to go out with a bang. Especially since once the fast is over, I will have a new/healthier diet.<br />
<br />
On day one I woke up really happy...and terrified. I was soooo afraid of being without food. I didn't know if I would feel starved. By Mid-Day I found myself feeling verrryyyy nauseous. After drinking my lunch juice, I felt better.<br />
<br />
On day two I found myself unable to stop thinking about food. Everything reminded me of food. It didn't help that nearly every commercial on TV was food related...ugh! There were times when I got so frustrated. I had to just focus on the journey. I can't give up!<br />
<br />
I will update you guys on day 3 in the next post! </div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Hey heart breakers! I was browsing the net today, and came across the announcement that Aaliyah has a new song out. The song is called "Enough Said," and it features "emo rapper" Drake. Aaliyah is one of my favorite artists...period. However, I don't really feel this song just yet. I wish they would have came with something better since this is her introduction to a whole new generation. I expected more. I don't think they did "Baby Girl" justice with this lackluster track. Take a listen and let me know what you think!<br />

Hey guys! June 7, 2012 was my 2 years post-relaxer anniversary. I decided to flat iron my hair to see how long it was. This was my first time flat ironing it since October 2011. It grew a lot, and is still in good shape. I recorded my blow dry and flat iron process for you guys. I also filmed a video about how great it feels to be 2 years post. It's a three video series. </div>

What do blood, glitter, and "sperm" have in common? Well...Erykah Badu! Her new video was just released, and it is by far the strangest thing I have ever seen. The song is called "The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face," and it features The Flaming Lips. The song was so creepy that I had to hit the mute button. The video included shots of her fully nude body front and back....even her "lady bits." I mean, she left nothing to the imagination.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But that wasn't the strangest part! For most of the video she sat naked in a bathtub and covered herself in various fluids and glitter. She slapped glitter all over her butt and etc in slow motion, and they zoomed in on her booty rippling in slow motion lol.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://global14.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Erykah-Badu-Photo-Shoot-1-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://global14.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Erykah-Badu-Photo-Shoot-1-2.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
There's also a clip of her covered from head to toe a la the movie "Carrie" in what looks to be fake blood. In these scenes she is also slapping her booty and vajayjay in slow motion.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/diffuser.fm/files/2012/05/Erykah-Badu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/diffuser.fm/files/2012/05/Erykah-Badu.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
<br />
And at the end of the video she starts drizzling a white "sperm like" liquid all over her face and body. I have three words for this video. I...JUST...CAN'T. Has she lost her mind? Is she on drugs? Or is she doing this to boost publicity and give her sagging career a boost? I'm not quite sure, but I want the old Erykah back. I can't get with this new Erykah. She kind of scares me lol. And why aren't any of the men in the video naked? Why is it that women are always the ones using their body in this manner? It's really sad.<br />
<br />
Now, I am a very creative person and respect art. However, I have yet to find the point in this. Well, of course there is a point. I think it is supposed to be about her first sexual encounter and the various emotions involved or something (based on the lyrics). However, I think it should have and COULD HAVE been executed in a classier way with less nudity and etc. Here's the video in question.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">UPDATE:</span> So apparently the up close/tight shots of "Badu's " um...lower region are actually her sister's. Her sister Nayrok allowed them to film her nether regions up close for those parts of the video. Everything else is alllll Erykah. Either way, my thoughts on the video are still the same.<br />
<br />

Hello heart breakers! Rihanna has been spotted rocking a rasta inspired do'. The pop singer took the stage at last night's American Idol finale sporting her signature shaved sides, bangs, and dreadlocks pulled into a ponytail. If you follow my blog, then you know <a href="http://www.verykinkygirl.com/2012/02/working-woman.html" target="_blank">I suggested back in February that Rihanna give up her blonde wigs/weave and try dreadlocks instead</a>. She listened! Well, probably not to MY advice literally, but thank God she decided to go in a different direction with her hair. It is wayyyy better than those tired styles she has been rocking for the past few years<br />

While I think this is a positive change for her, I think I would have preferred it without the bangs. The bangs take away from the look. I know she has a huge forehead and all, but I think she could pull off the look sans the bangs and it would look way better. Right now she has too much going on. I think she could also wear the locks in her signature red color or even in black with a brown or blonde ombre effect on the tips. That would be super cute! I wish more celebs would step away from "safe" weaves and switch it up. Nicki minaj tried dreads for a music video and they were soooo cute. However, she didn't wear them after filming the video. </div>

<span style="text-align: left;">But anywho, it will be interesting to see how Rihanna changes up this style. She usually starts with something and then tweaks it until it is right. Let's hope :)</span>

Hello heartbreakers! It has been forever since I posted a hair review on here for you guys. Sheesh, I've been so behind on this blog, but I am definitely working to catch up. Anywho, so here is a review of a half wig that I did back in December 2011. It's the super cute kinky/curly "Morning Glory" wig by Glance. Check out my review and pictures below. Feel free to leave in questions in the comment section....toodles. :)<br />

Hello heart breakers! I am back with sort of a mini rant. As some of you might already know, I am quite a fan of the performing arts. I have been involved in theatre, dance, music and etc for most of my life. So when the hit show "Glee" came along in 2009 I was immediately hooked! I remember seeing the commercials for the show months before it aired and I was so excited by the idea of a show featuring kids who were into the arts. I was a "Gleek" before "Gleeks" were even thought of lol. I watched the pilot episode and the show lived up to my expectations. I even convinced my hubby to watch a few! Season one was amazing and I liked where the show was going. Well, everything except for the writers basically setting up Will Schuester(Glee Club Director) to cheat on and eventually leave his wife. I am not down with cheaters and I always hoped he and his wife would get over her "cray cray" antics and move on...sigh.<br />
<br />
Anywho, the show had killer performances and a concept that many didn't have at the time. It was a great way to bring the theater/musical aspect to a TV show. If not done the right way, this kind of concept would have come off as too cheesy and would have been canned after season one. I'm sure you all are wondering why I think the show should be cancelled. Well, after season two the show went in a different direction. It became too geared towards pleasing the masses with stunts and etc.It was obvious that the producers were willing to do anything to get the ratings up. The writing reflected this, and the show started to resemble all of the other trendy teenage shows out there. If I wanted to see cheesy fluff, I would of just watched "Gossip Girl" or one of those other generic shows instead.<br />
<br />
I knew the show would never be the same once they started allowing big celebrities to be featured. The focus was on Britney Spears, Madonna and etc...not the actual characters and plot. People were more excited to see the celebrity of the week. The show lost it's spunk and became nothing more than a stereotypical commercialized hot mess full of gimmicks! It was recently announced that the show will be returning for a 4th season. However, most of the main characters are graduating this year, so it will be interesting to see if the producers will try to keep the show going. Perhaps they will pull a "Degrassi" and just introduce new 9th grade characters to keep the show alive. Either way, I don't see the show making it past season four, and I hope they hang up their choir robes for good. In the end I feel like Tyra Banks did <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53sOpQQWOOA" target="_blank">when she went off on that contestant named Tiffany</a> during eliminations at America's Next Top Model. I was rooting for you "Glee," we were all rooting for you. LOL.<br />

Now I'm debating if I should just go red instead. I am on the fence. I know I would like blonde, as I have tried it before with wigs and it looks nice. However, I think red would look nice on me too. The problem?? Well, I have never tried a red wig so I have no idea if red would TRULY look decent on me lol. I've seen lots of darker women around my color wearing red, and it looks <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>hot</b> </span>on them.. So, I guess it could work on me too. The hard thing is picking the right shade though. I don't like all shades of red, so it has to be EXACTLY the shade I have in mind. Not too cola(grandma red). Not too bright (Rhianna red). A little bit alternative (emo red). But something acceptable in the work place (stick up my @ss red). Something like this...<br />

I would hate to be stuck with Ronald McDonald or crusty the clown red/sideshow bob red hair. I hate the color Rhianna has below. I like red that has more a of black undertone if that makes any sense.<br />

If I choose red, it would have to be a bold color, but not something that would be shunned in the work place. So here are the pros and cons of each color. You tell me what you would do.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b><u><span style="color: #990000; font-size: x-large;">**Red**</span></u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><b>Pros:</b><br />
<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Would be something new and fresh.</li>
<li>I could experience color without possibly using bleach and damaging my hair.</li>
<li>It would look nice with my complexion(maybe?)</li>
<li>Perhaps it will be easier to lift my base later on if I decide to go blonde.</li>
</ol><div><b>Cons:</b></div><div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>I heard red dye fades like crazy. I have to co-wash my hair daily, so it will prob fade too fast.</li>
<li>Blonde hair would be my first choice, since I just started liking red a few months ago. What if I have regrets/a change of heart right after?</li>
<li>Might be considered less professional to employers since it will look a bit alternative. I'm trying to transition into TV News reporting and most reporters are either blonde or brunette. In my field "the look" is very important and they are very conservative. I don't see anchors down south with bold red hair. Most stick to the standard look. I'm already pusing it by being natural.</li>
</ol><div><br />
</div></div><div><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><u><b><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;">**Blonde**</span></b></u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div><b><br />
</b></div><div><b>Pros:</b></div><div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>I think blonde afros with highlights are sooooo cute and fun!</li>
<li>The highlights will add depth and dimension to my curls and make them look more defined. I have superrrrr thick hair so it often just looks like a black curly cloud. There's no dimension.</li>
<li>It's a cute summer color.</li>
<li>I think it will be okay to co-wash daily since blonde needs lots of moisture.</li>
<li>Probably more acceptable in the workplace than Red hair since red might considered alternative and unprofessional to "stuffy" employers.</li>
<li>If I get tired of it, then I can just put red over it.</li>
</ol><div>Cons:</div></div><div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Could cause my hair damage(loosen curl pattern/texture if bleach is used).</li>
<li>Could stunt my progress and have me stuck at APL if I can't retain length.</li>

Hello heart breakers! If you are familiar with <a href="http://www.youtube.com/bridezillamartina" target="_blank">my Youtube channel</a>, then you've probably heard me discuss coloring my hair. I've never dyed my hair before, and I have been looking into it for a few years. In fact, one of the main reasons I went natural was so I could experiment with color as safely as possible.My relaxed hair was healthy, but I didn't want to risk having two chemicals in my hair at once. I've heard many horror stories about coloring while relaxed. And the women in my family always suffered from a setback if they added color to their healthy relaxed hair. At any rate, I really want to take the plunge this summer and go some shade of light brown with blonde highlights. Possibly 4/27, or something closer to the freetress wigs that I wear in the color F33/32/240. Now, it is just a matter of finding someone to get the job done. Wish me luck guys! In the meantime, here are some pictures of me rocking blonde tones. I plan to stick to something more similar to the wig "Nari" below.<br />

I have been thinking it is time to revisit one of my old favs...the baseball hat. Back in 2003-2005 I was in love with rocking a slightly side turned snapback boy scout hat(I was ahead of my time). That was during the time when NERD/the Neptunes were all the rage, and baseball hats were in on the cusp of becoming in style. I would wear my snapback hat in a sexy/girly way though. As in I wore heels with everything back then, even jeans! So even on my "comfy" days I still looked cute and stylish. I would wear my hat with a low chignon (bun) on the left side and the tilt the brim of my hat to the right so my eyes could be seen. I loved that style and it was veryyyy flattering to my face shape(round/chubby Janet Jackson cheeks lol). Of course, the side-turned hat trend died down, and I hung up my hat for good. Or so I thought...now there is a new "woman in baseball hat" trend! It's all thanks to the return of the snapback hat. And they aren't just making them for boys anymore. Companies are now putting a more feminine touch on these hats. I must say, this is one trend I will be wearing this spring and summer for sure. I already have a few in mind that I would love to try....<br />
<br />
This is a new release from <a href="http://thosegirlsarewild.com/2012/02/20/dope-snapbacks/" target="_blank">Those Girls Are Wild</a>. I absolutely love the Kente cloth accent on the brim! And it is only $42 right now on their site. I think this will be the first one I buy. It is too cute to pass up. It has sort of a rugged, natural, earthy vibe mixed with a little glitz and glam. I love that it could pretty much go with anything since it is so colorful. They even have a few pink accents here and there on the hat too! There is nothing boring about this hat at all!<br />

I decided to try something bold and fun. I spent a little time surfing YouTube in search of a good rainbow eye shadow tutorial, and I found one by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmDqWGHbD5E" target="_blank">Xsparkage</a>! I used my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmDqWGHbD5E" target="_blank">Beauty Treat 120 Professional Pallet</a> and whatever else I had around. Luckily, I was able to find colors similar to the ones she used in her tutorial. It was a fun and easy look! I would recommend giving it a try if you want to try something new. I actually ended up wearing the shadow out and about during the day while running errands, and I wore it to a family dinner that night. I received lots of compliments on my bold look too. Here are some pics and video of it!</div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ho9fUW4yoQg" width="640"></iframe></div>Martinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01086620050641892579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527911162479461668.post-12979871329157258032012-02-03T13:28:00.000-06:002012-02-03T13:28:59.033-06:00Yarn Braid FAQ and Details<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/380492_979386140550_38904164_38961811_2067704258_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

</div><div>A few weeks ago, I blogged about my yarn braids. Well, I finally made a video with FAQ and details about the process, and how I maintain my braids. I will be filming several videos with more detailed info on the braids in the future. But for now, here is an overall video on my yarn braiding experience. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUTidI6OV80" target="_blank"><b>Click here</b></a> to see the video...Enjoy!</div><div><br />

</div><div><a href="https://encrypted-tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTeR8TBrJ2LNOQS-aGRuWvs6pniL8BHT7j4KmR_Uiaqr9ikWHpk" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTeR8TBrJ2LNOQS-aGRuWvs6pniL8BHT7j4KmR_Uiaqr9ikWHpk" /></a></div>In this week's celeb makeover news Rihanna has been seen sporting a new do'. The Barbadian singer has been known to change it up pretty often. This time she is rocking a blonde wig, or perhaps it is a full sew-in. Either way it looks like she is channeling Tina Turner and Heather Locklear back in the 80s. I think the 80s and 90s are back in style, but she is incorporating too many elements in this one look. She comes across as trashy and dumpster chic...minus the chic.<br />
<div>The shorts are in style again, and can look decent depending on how you wear them. Thigh high "hooker" boots are also all the rage these days. But I think they are a bit classier when paired with black skinny pants/jeans and a nice blouse. It looks a little more sexy and high class that way instead of coming off like a street walker. </div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS3PmGuzOf67ngGOBLMpzMm1GjavnwjCbsuMUyup6s2lWBlmsBy" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS3PmGuzOf67ngGOBLMpzMm1GjavnwjCbsuMUyup6s2lWBlmsBy" /></a> <a href="https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ6xb1TwTptNH7u5mCwo5i9lRgvBpCYNwp6tu-RBk8C4ZDDtXhU" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ6xb1TwTptNH7u5mCwo5i9lRgvBpCYNwp6tu-RBk8C4ZDDtXhU" /></a></div><div><br />
</div><div>And lastly, there's the horrible blonde weave or wig. I love blonde hair on black women, and I think many of of us can pull it off because it contrasts with our skin and "pops" so to speak. However, she chose a horrible wig. It looks a bit ratty and trailer park-ish. I'm guessing this is what she was going for, but it is so unflattering. If I saw her walking down the street, I would definitely think she was a street walker. The look is so cheap and tacky! I feel like she is on her way to one of those 80s rock videos. You know, the ones with the women in daisy dukes and bikini tops dancing on the hood of a red corvette or something lol. Great, now I can't get "Pour Some Sugar on Me" out of my head. Personally, I would like to see Rihanna try wearing braids or dread locs. She could even wear them in red, blonde or some funky color that would suit her! I think that would look really nice on her and accentuate her island side. We haven't seen her island flavor in a while, so braids/locs would be refreshing. Plus, it would be a little different from what most pop stars are wearing right now. Other than Solange, most people are rocking a very cookie-cutter look. </div><div><div><br />

I hope you are having a "fantastical" weekend! I decided to talk about romance for a change. Well, by romance I mean the string of shocking divorce announcements that have recently occurred. Some of the hottest celebrity "it" couples have been calling it quits lately. And I'm not talking about people who pulled a Kim Kardashian, I'm referring to couples who seemed like they were <i>truly</i> going to make it <strike>as naive as that sounds</strike>. You know...the ones who seemed normal and stable. First there were whispers of Jada and Will ending their marriage.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-66Rxd2okJ-c/TlPud4rjGHI/AAAAAAAAA-o/fXCCQ8cOlL8/s1600/Will+Smith+And+Jada+Pinkett+Smith+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-66Rxd2okJ-c/TlPud4rjGHI/AAAAAAAAA-o/fXCCQ8cOlL8/s320/Will+Smith+And+Jada+Pinkett+Smith+6.jpg" width="255" /></a></div><br />
This is probably the most "shock worthy" break up <b>and it hasn't even officially happened yet</b>! For months, these two have denied rumors that they were headed for splitsville. Something some "insiders" say was caused by their differing opinions on how to raise their children(career-wise). They have publicly denied divorce claims, but a new insider now claims Jada has moved out of their home this week and into her brother's house. The "insider" says the two A- listers are trying to end things slowly so the kids don't get hurt in the process. A divorce announcement should be coming any day now...ugh! <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">In other news...</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher threw in the towel a few weeks ago...officially. After spending months fighting off rumors that Ashton was having an affair with multiple young women. As it turns out, he was and Demi has now gone all "cray cray." She's now battling anorexia and doing "whip-its." Meanwhile, Ashton is out partying with every young groupie he can get his hands on....smh. I just can't!</div><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> Katy Perry said goodbye to hubby Russell Brand. News of their divorce recently made headlines too. I must admit, I thought they were a strange pair from the start. I don't really take him to be the kind of guy that likes women. But they seemed strangely happy together, so I thought they just might make it. What a shame!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQTD8wNnNYmi-BRdiIwCxyyexC10iOgwO5WvQkUlbtiqt1BrLME" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQTD8wNnNYmi-BRdiIwCxyyexC10iOgwO5WvQkUlbtiqt1BrLME" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Heidi Klum and Seal also pulled a shocker when they announced their split last week.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> I would say this was the 2nd most shocking divorce of them all. I mean, people LOVEEEE Heidi and Seal together, and their story was so romantic and sweet. They seemed generally very happy. But looks can be deceiving. Too bad there's no happy ending, or isssss there?? Oddly, this divorce announcement comes just in time for seals new album release lol. He's been milking the situation and doing interviews all this week too! Part of me wonders if this is just a publicity stunt. But I don't see them being the kind of couple that would go that low. You never know...anything is possible in hollyweird! </div><br />
<br />
And lastly, here's another divorce that was pre-announced this week. Meaning the couple hasn't actually filed yet, but sources say the odds of a divorce announcement soon are looking HELLA good. According to Star Magazine, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale are ending their 10 year marriage because Gwen can no longer trust him.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.judiciaryreport.com/images/gwen-stefani-gavin-rossdale-and-son-10-13-10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="206" src="http://www.judiciaryreport.com/images/gwen-stefani-gavin-rossdale-and-son-10-13-10.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
I can't blame her. Throughout their marriage, he's revealed tons of secrets. Two years into their marriage, Gwen found out Gavin had a secret child(who was almost a freaking teenager by the time the secret came out). Her name is Daisy Lowe and she is now <strike>old enough to be in Playboy</strike> 23 years old.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.x17online.com/Daisy%20Lowe/DAISY-LOWE-PLAYBOY460new.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.x17online.com/Daisy%20Lowe/DAISY-LOWE-PLAYBOY460new.jpg" width="238" /></a></div><br />
<br />
In 2009 another big secret came out <strike>of the closet</strike>. It was revealed that Gavin carried on a long affair with a fellow by the name of Peter Robinson (who looks a lot like Gwen in my opinion).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.bittenandbound.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/peter-robinson.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.bittenandbound.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/peter-robinson.jpg" width="209" /></a><a href="http://www.feelnumb.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/o-more-pics-of-gavin-rossdale-being-gay.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.feelnumb.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/o-more-pics-of-gavin-rossdale-being-gay.jpg" width="245" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRmzltSlhCqXnncqXBBCgTjIPapv6GoiwA05CZHldwMjPa_AqFrmc710pjf" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRmzltSlhCqXnncqXBBCgTjIPapv6GoiwA05CZHldwMjPa_AqFrmc710pjf" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
Gavin admitted to the affair and Gwen decided to stay by his side. But the latest "secret" came out in 2010 when Courtney Love admitted in an interview with Howard Stern that Gavin cheated on Gwen with her and multiple women for years! Seriously, who hasn't slept with this guy ??? I don't blame you Gwennie. Leave him and <strike>head straight to the clinic for some lab tests</strike> do what is best for you!<br />
<br />
So what's the moral of the story? Hollywood marriages just weren't meant to last. There's always a scandal, groupie, or better PR opportunity waiting around the corner. And the happier the couple seems in public, the more they are hiding. </div>Martinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01086620050641892579noreply@blogger.com3
