So I haven't really done fashion yet...Heels.com

So I haven't really covered any fashion on here yet...There have been so many upsetting and/or depressing things going on both personally and in the media. Well I was reminded of the topic when I was on Egochecks.com and viewing their shoe of the day. For the 2nd day i didn't like the shoe. I mean although they were nice shoes, I didn't care for them. Which made me think ...what would be my shoe of the day be? So as I looked through my shopping section of my favorites I came across a site I hadn't been to in awhile.. http://www.heels.com You could not ask for hotter shoes at a more affordable price*
This is just a taste of what is on the site..there is soo much more and so many colors, styles, etc..
All these shoes pictured are $150 or under except the pair of L.A.M.B shoes on the end (right) which are $299
Enjoy ladies! I will be writing a post tomorrow on my top 10 fashion websites *
Peace & Love,

Why you should NEVER go to Pink Elephant Nightclub in NYC...

I am beyond disgusted this morning with a local NYC establishment called the Pink Elephant. (527 West 27th Street NYC)
This morning as usual I checked my twitter, facebook, email etc.. and came across the most disturbing status update I have seen in quite awhile. The post came from a fellow mother, model, activist, and all around beautiful person both inside and out.. Christina Mendez is a plus size model and has graced the pages of Glamour, All You, and Urban Latino Magazine among others. She has also been on BET's "Rip the Runway", been a runway model for Lane Bryant's in store fashion shows, and has been a print model for Baby Phat, Rocawear, Dereon, Apple Bottoms and more. She has been featured as a model on the Rachel Ray show, Fox news, BET news etc.. I could go on but I'll stop there. Last night she was denied entry at Pink Elephant nightclub for being too"FAT"!! I will let you read her status for yourself below :



CHRISTINA MENDEZ "I hate to start off people’s day w/negative BS but need to share this, last night I was denied access to Pink Elephant Nightclub in NYC because they claim I was too FAT. They told my friend they needed to maintain the "aesthetic" of the club. I could’ve flipped out but I hope telling my story will hurt them worst. DON’T SUPPORT PINK ELEPHANT sorry no matter what promoter or DJ is there. WRONG FAT girl not to let in.." (via Facebook)


I could not believe I was reading this!! Below I have posted some recent pictures of Christina so you all can see just how "fat" and "aesthetically unpleasant" she is...SMH*


Ummm yea. Bish is HOT!! Stop hating Pink Elephant. Nobody is starving themselves to get into your lame house club smh. And yes that is her with Sexy as hell Miguel Perdomo who clearly knows she fly too * I cannot truly understand what that was about ?? Are they for real? In all seriousness though #1 she is NOT fat . #2 Even if she was, are they implying larger women and men cannot be attractive or are less appealing? I want to point out that she is MY size and I can't even imagine them saying some shit like that to me or any of my friends about me. I seriously am just in awe that they played themselves like that last night.
*On a bright note she has chosen to handle the situation with style and grace as she always does and has continued to be positive throughout the drama. *Please check out this link to her response to Pink Elephant and to find out more about her upcoming projects! http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/note.php?note_id=213561815723&id=1055371489&ref=share
*You can also check out her website http://www.christinamendez.com
Much Love to you girl in all that you do...and to the haters well you can see me and Christina on Sunday walking our "FAT" asses for a good cause at the Autism Walk at South Street Seaport. Click here to donate to this great cause http://www.walknowforautism.org/nyc/teammendez
Peace & Love

So I planned on covering this whole Chris Brown/Rihanna mess...

I've spent this past week like every other Chris Brown and/or Rihanna fan rummaging through any and every report trying to find out what the hell really happened between the two before the Grammy's. There was no topic that seemed nearly as interesting or that was on my mind more and I refused to write another post about anything else until I covered this story. Now almost all of the news papers, Internet sites, shit everyone has put their two sense in and I refused to be like these other Internet sites and blogger's with their "credible sources" (yeah OK) and i wanted to have some solid facts or something at least better to say. I also wanted to sort it all out and give my honest opinion.

But..guess what? I happened to come across this other chick's blog..GREAT READ and no joke she said exactly what I wanted to say and had I mean the same approach and everything. I mean it was exactly what I would have posted, so rather than just repeat her blog I encourage you to read hers. Big up to www.NecoleBitchie.com . This chick is on point! Check her Chris Brown/ Rihanna Blogs for the last few days..very informative!


*On another note..I for the life of me could not find a picture of that ridiculous Lil' Mama outfit I wrote about last week, so I took a pic from my phone when I caught it on repeat. I also took a picture of yesterday's outfit which was almost as ridiculous. I don't even know what to think about that chick at this point. I will post the photos tomorrow for sure, but I am dead tired. Shit being pregnant is not fucking easy! Very rewarding, but fucking exhausting. Love being a mom though so I try not to let it stress me too tough. Tomorrow however I will be going on a rant about this pregnancy shit, because baby girl is high maintenance already and her little ass needs to be put on blast! LOL

SO...until tomorrow...
Peace and Love

Can someone PLEEEEAAASE get Lil' Mama a stylist immediately!!!

I had planed on writing an Ode to bikini girl from American Idol today, but then I turned on the t.v. I couldn't sleep so I decided I'd watch the new episode of America's Best Dance Crew that I had recorded on my DVR.


Well...I watched Quest crew's performance and thought it was hot! Very funny and very creative and then it was done and it was time for the judges to comment. I had to do a double take..WHAT THE HELL was Lil' Mama wearing??!!?? Now it has been quite apparent that home girl has no sense of style. I mean who can forget the infamous baby outfit from the MTV awards complete with blinged out pacifier (see photo below) but just when I thought she was getting less odd... I couldn't find a picture, but as soon as I get one I will post it. Think tweety bird meets flight attendant who fell in a swarovski crystal batch. I mean my God does this chick own a mirror. I mean she irks me enough with the stupidity that comes out of her mouth. *I especially hate when she tries to use a big word and uses it wrong or completely says it wrong all together. But she is not a terrible rapper and usually has a catchy song or two. I wonder though...who is dressing this poor girl? Is she that whack in her own dressing? Is someone trying to sabotage her? Can she not afford a stylist? I mean COME ON...!! Lil' Mama if you ever read this I love you girl I do..there is no hate , but seriously. I know good people in the styling world. I can hook you up. You can be different without being ridiculous. Email me girl..seriously I am here for you. *P.S - girl it is grammatically correct not politically correct..LOL girl needs a stylist and a tutor maybe..sorry boo but Ms. Opinion just has to be honest.

On another note about ABDC..Who is voting for these clogger people?? I mean I was rooting for the little corny white underdogs at first, but now they are just coming whack with it...and I mean for them to beat of Fly Kicks in votes..people are buggin..Just saying

Kelly Rowland cuts ties with MAtthew Knowles as manager...

(photo from google.com)
Ok so yes I am a little late with this..but better late then never right? LOL


Last week several news and media sources reported that Kelly Rowland has ended her management contract with Matthew Knowles (aka Beyonce's daddy). It was also reported that there were no hard feelings and everything is still on the up and up with them personally. I mean I don't really think that Mr. Knowles would care either way. From what I see she was a dead weight for him to carry. I mean once you hear it's Matthew Knowles calling your thinking Beyonce..so then to get pitched some ideas about Kelly Rowland...come on it's like 2nd best. Although I think that Kelly Rowland is a very beautiful and talented young woman, she will NEVER compare to Beyonce..not in talent or beauty. Being managed by Mr. Knowles unfortunately she will always be stuck being compared to her, because of that father-daughter relationship.


Kelly Rowland needs to up her image. I don't mean her physical image, because she is beautiful and quite fashionable..but she needs to get a personality..break out of her shell..grow some more stage presence. Like most back-up dancers/singers (which lets be real, Michelle and Kelly were basically backup dancers/singers to Beyonce in DC) she seems to have trouble commanding the stage and taking it as her own. Until she does that she won't sell. She is not a new artist so she won't be able to pull a Rihanna and grow the way she did. People know her and they expect alot having seen so much greatness come out of Destiny's Child. Homegirl needs to find a good manger maybe Benny Medina..(think JLO, Mariah, etc) could make her a powerhouse if she can afford someone like him. I wish her much success and happiness in her life and career. Hopefully she can work it all out. It would be sad to see her continue to flop the way she has.

WOW..I really thought the Cardinals were gonna win the Superbowl..LOL






Last night was Superbowl XL III played in Tampa, Florida. The Pittsburgh Steelers faced off against the Arizona Cardinals.

(photo from espn.com) Now Ms. Opinion is a bit superstitious. I know ..I know..silly right? but I can't help it. The mix of the Puerto Rican and West Indian heritage you know they were gonna instill that foolishness in me from young. Anyhow..so this past Monday I passed by my father's job after dropping my son off to school. In the parking lot there is an AC vent system in this sort of cage. So I'm sitting in my Dad's car and see this pretty red bird. I asked my father what type of bird it was figuring with the amount of the Discovery Channel he watches he would definitely know what it was. So he says duh it's a cardinal. Odd I guess that I had never seen a cardinal, but I really can't recall ever seeing one before then (and I have an EXCELLENT memory). So this Cardinal is trapped in the cage where the AC vent is. I mean he obviously got in there somehow, but he couldn't remember how I guess and this poor bird started panicking. I was worried sitting there that at any moment this AC fan was going to turn on and this bird was going to be ripped to shreds and that s something I was not interested in seeing as I sipped my decaf white chocolate mocha early in he morning so I asked my dad to get the key and let it out. Right before my father came back to let the Cardinal out I guess the silly bird remembered where the hole was and flew out in freedom.


Now you are probably wondering why I told you this odd story about my Cardinal encounter. Well...when I got home I told my hubby the same story and he said maybe it's a sign. That I should put money on the Cardinals in the Superbowl. Truthfully once the Jets, then Giants were out of the running I lost interest and didn't even know what teams were playing in the Superbowl this year. So when he mentioned Cardinals I thought wow maybe that is a sign.



Well when the Cardinals came back with a 64-yard touchdown from Warner to Fitzgerald with 2:37 left in the 4th quarter I was certain that that was it. That this was the cardinal finding the hole and flying to freedom and well victory for the Superbowl and started cursing myself for forgetting about the Superbowl pool he has every year at work and not putting any money down. Glad I didn't, because if you saw the game you saw the last touchdown made by the Steelers with 35 seconds left in the fourth. Now all in all this was a really good game... alot of action and excitement. The cardinals definitely gave a good fight and I mean every time you though they were down they rose to the occasion. Kind of like Kurt Warner's story ... I am glad Holmes got MVP, he definitely deserved it. Glad I watched*



On another note..Jennifer Hudson sang the National Anthem before the game began. This is something I ALWAYS look forward to watching. I thought that Faith Hill's version of "America the Beautiful" was whack! but Jennifer Hudson really did her thing and she didn't try to over sing it either like alot of artists do. She was definately a little shaky before starting and looked a whole lot of nervous but she pulled it together and did a great job for her first public appearance since the horribe tragedies in her personal life with the death of her mother, sister, and nephew only a short time ago. God Bless her*

Urging parents to be ..well better parents

I really did not want my very first blog to be something serious. I figured I would touch on a music blogger who feels American Idol is being tainted (will prob touch on that tomorrow) or Kanye West's odd rantings that always seem to make me laugh, my pregnancy (I'm 8 mos and it sucks! In a great way though) LOL .. I don't know just something other than this, but as a mother of going on 2 children, a sister, a godmother, a cousin of an assorted lot of younger cousins this story really touched me and REALLY pissed me off!!


I am referring to the story of the California couple who decided they would pull a murder/suicide and kill themselves and their 5 beautiful children because they lost their jobs. Apparently the husband Ervin Lupoe and mother Ana Lupoe, either one or the other thought of the idea to commit this horrendous act, because (in their own words) why would they leave the
(photo taken from NYDAILY NEWS.COM)
children to strangers.. Now in my personal opinion I don't give a shit if you want to kill yourself. I really don't. I mean if you have kids and you kill yourself you are already a selfish ass, but to kill your kids as well. How do you do that? How do you put a gun to your child's head and pull the trigger? Or use poison.or drown them..or any of the other sick ways that more and more people are using to kill their own children. It was reported that some of the policemen who arrived at the scene were seen crying and vomiting as they left as even they were sickened but what they had just witnessed. In this case the children ranged in age from 2-8yrs old. Even more ridiculous is that they hadn't even been layed off very long. Did unemployment never occur to them..or welfare..or even maybe getting up off their asses instead of feeling sorry for themselves and going out to look for other jobs? I am disgusted by these people and even more disgusted by the fact that they faxed this whole suicide note thing to their local t.v station as if people are supposed to feel sorry for them, because they committed this type of completed reckless and selfish act! I feel deeply saddened for their sweet and innocent children who did not have a say in this and hope that they are in a better place..together..laughing and playing.
So a note for all parents..or friends of parents..adults in general. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER! Life is hard..who the hell said it would be easy? No one. No child in this world asked to be here. When you make the adult decision to make a baby, you become responsible for this life. To love and cherish, to clothe and shelter, to socialize a good person..and if you can't make that happen use a damn condom! They are as free as fucking itself and available all over ..you can even order free ones online. So seriously..man and woman up or wrap it up..everytime. It's good to practice this anyways just for your own health.
Anyways yes I know this was a bit of a rant, but I needed to get that off of my chest..and I needed the world to hear. Or atleast the random person(s) who might come across this blog. Tomorrow I promise I will have something funny and cute (well maybe not cute) to give you my opinion on..but I had to get this out there. Ms Opinion was an abused and neglected child and does not take kindly to or tolerate fucked up parenting on any level.
