Gas Shortage in GA!!!

So I get to Georgia on Friday and I had been for warned that there was no gas down here due to Hurricane Ike knocking out the oil refineries. I didn't believe how bad it was till you see the lines of cars for one gas station. Businesses are slow cuz people are afraid to go out and waste gas. Conversations around should you even go to work just to save the little you have. Fancy cars all gassed out on the sides of the roads. In a time where we were watching the gas prices sky rocket, in this part of town people are limited to only 20 or 30 dollars worth. It's like being in the twilight zone when it comes to looking at these empty gas stations in rows with no prices on them and no cars in sight. Something needs to be done.

Don't Get Crazy!!!

I received this email and thought it was important to share.

It read: Please, please, please advise everyone you know that they absolutely can NOT go to the polls wearing any Obama (or whoever you are voting for) shirts, pins, hats, etc. It is AGAINST THE LAW and will be grounds to have the polling officials to turn you away. This is considered campaigning and no one can campaign within X amount of feet of the polls. They are banking on us being overly excited and not being aware of this long standing law that you can bet will be ENFORCED THIS YEAR!!!!!

They are banking that if you are turned away, you will not go home and change your clothes and return to the polls to vote. Please just don't wear ANY gear of any sorts to the polls! Please share this information with as many people as you can. If you are already aware of this, please don't take it as insulting your intelligence.

Have a great day and see you at the polls on November 4th.

L.O.V.E on MTB4

Love is in the air for Dawn and Q. What's so endearing about watching these two in the beginning blooming stages of their relationship, is that we've all had those feelings once or twice or every time we get with a new person that's worth something. You watch them and either can't help but smile and say "I want that or have that",,or say,,"Wait, it won't last long".  But what happens when the newness fades,,what I'm finding,,is that the LOVE, the real LOVE, grows stronger, but not by chance, by work. When the emotions of the grand fairy tale ideas don't necessarily come tru by story book standards, like always being swept off your feet, if you have true love, it exists in everything. It's not flowers and candy, gifts, dates, everyday sex. It's the appreciation that everyday you are able to be with that person and enjoy them for who they are, what they are giving to the relationship, and how they continue to grow, and how you continue to grow separate and together. Through trials and errors, through forgiveness and honesty,  through good times and everyday times,,,,that's LOVE.

Dominican Power in Fashion

GRASIE MERCEDES, OMAYRAH MOTA, ARLENIS SOSA

Dominicans representin' in US fashion. Arlenis Sosa is the newest 19 year old Dominican Model from Santo Domingo, to hit the runways in over a dozen shows at Fashion Week, fashion magazines like US Vogue and the "Black Issue" in Italian Vogue, and in 2009 will be the new face for Lancome. She is a cutie, tall, and seems like she has a great future ahead of her. She was spotted in D.R. as she was walking with her family in El Malecon and they approached her. Unlike a lot of girls in the states who's dream it is to become a supermodel or superstar, school was the number 1 priority in her family. As is for many Dominican fams. So like the successful Omayrah Mota, I'm sooo rooting for Arlenis and all my dominicans doing their thing.

Love Hate Lounge Miami

It could be primarily viewed as a rock 'n' roll bar, but Love Hate Lounge serves up a variety of music, including old school hip-hop which I love. They always throw on old Jay-Z and Biggie that gets the crowd singing along every time. New York is definitely in the building. lol When I'm in Miami I have to come here. The vibe is chill, the ambiance is cool, and the people are down to earth. Occasionally I've seen Ami and Chris roll through (Owners/who also own Miami Ink). The drinks are kinda expensive ($8 bucks for a vodka/cran) but they are strong as hell. So next time your in Miami definitely roll through.

Get your Jeans On!

Now I can't do the High Waisted Jean as Jlo does so well here, outside TRL in 07',,, but I am definitely gonna get into the more mid rise jean due to my long torso. I've been trying to rock the low rise jeans and it's come time to change.

It's always so hard to buy jeans that look great, are different, funky, and perfect for my body. I always am giving up one thing for another. Well no more. It's funny, I'm 5'4, short legs, long torso, with curves. So finding the perfect jean is no cake walk. When I stand up on the bus or train I'm one of the shorties, But once I sit down I am almost as tall as the 6'0 dude next to me. Well I'm on a mission. If you have any spots I should definitely check out lemme know.
