Oscars - Fashion Hits and Misses

2009-02-23T19:23:00.000-08:00

The Best dressed of the evening went to (wait for it.. ) Miley Cyrus!! Her dress was absolutely gorgeous, and a very bold and a fashion forward choice for a teen girl!

Number 2 on my Best Dressed list is Natalie Portman. The colour was so lovely for her olive skin tone, and her hair and makeup complimented the look every so nicely.

Kate Winslet rounds out my Best Dressed list. I love the two materials and the belted one shoulder Goddess style. She looks so classic here.

Worst Dressed of the night

Beyonce wins my award for worst dressed of the night. Not only does she match the Oscar, (as she always seems to do), that leaf pattern is an eyesore. Her makeup and hair are too minimal for her.

As much as I love my girl Queen Latifah, her choice in dress could have been better. While the colour is nice and it flatters her skintone, the assymetry of the bodice is causing some problems for her 'girls'. One looks much more pronounced than the other. It almost looks as though the one strap was cut off last minute.

ABCD 3- Its Down to the top 3!!

2009-02-23T19:04:00.000-08:00

America's Best Dance Crew 3 is down to the top 3! And the results are just as I called it in one of my earlier posts....

Quest Crew

Beat Freaks

Fly Khicks

While I really like the style and level of breaking that Quest Crew brings, and think they are great, ABDC needs an all girl crew to take the title this season. And who better to take it than Beat Freaks. The last performance they did to a Katy Perry track and they KILLED it.. OMG.. they are so sick. They bring breaking, choreography, sexiness and flavour. They can DANCE! Fly Khicks are going to be the next to go, but those girls got energy for days. They work hard, but are not on the same level as Quest Crew and Beat Freaks. I can't wait for next week's show !!!

Which Team are you On?

2009-02-18T18:22:00.001-08:00

Me and my friends at work always joke about the whole Team Jolie/ Team Aniston thing. Eventually, conversation gets to the 'Hollywood Babies'. A debate always ensues. I am the only one at work that seems to think Shiloh is cuter than Suri! I know these are babies, and all babies are precious, but that little Suri is a weird little thing. Shiloh looks like a cherub to me.. and I'll admit that I'm in love with her adorable face. How can she not be gorgeous.. Hello.. Angelina and Brad?!?

So I ask you.......

Team Shiloh?

or Team Suri?

Welcome to Dreamland

2009-02-18T18:05:00.000-08:00

So I had the chance to check out the six or so episodes of 'Welcome to Dreamland' on Peachtree T.V out of Atlanta. A reality show that is looking for the next Queen of Dreamland. The battle comes down to the two producers and who can make the better star. The well known Jazze Pha up against the lesser known Drumma Boy. In the end the underdog Drumma Boy one with his production of the up and comer 'Leaf'. She represented a different genre of music. To me, she was a mix of India Arie, Erykah Badu meets Cyndi Lauper and Sheila E. I loved her style and her talent. Glad she won...

Here was the runner up Khia with Jazze. Typical 'Beyonce' type beauty with the pretty voice. The girl had no rhythm and smiled like a horse.

Here is the winner Leaf. Love her stuff.. YouTube her or Myspace her if you can. I hope she makes it big

What's Old is always New again.. someday

2009-02-15T06:23:00.001-08:00

I recently went to the Great Wolf Lodge with my husband and my son. While on a break from the water park, we hit the arcade. My son had collected tickets for prizes and what he picked out surprised me, and brought me way back to my childhood. He picked out jelly bracelets and slinky bracelets. When I was little, my friends and I would go to this cool store called 'Neat Stuff' and buy up tons of bracelets in neon colours and wear them halfway up our arms. And so.. my son bought me some orange and pink jelly and slinky bracelets at the Lodge and I wore them with pride, as he wore his in green and blue.

Here are some other things my son rocks today, that are such a throwback for me. Neon 80's glasses and multi coloured Converse All Star.

Above is my little man, in all his 80's glory!!

Happy Family?!?

2009-02-13T20:39:00.000-08:00

Look at this picture? What do you think it is a picture of? A teen sister, her little brother and their newborn baby sister?
Guess again! This is a picture of a 15 year old MOTHER, 13 year old FATHER and their new baby girl! I can barely believe what I am typing. It looks virtually impossible to me, but no.. its true!
13 yr old Alfie Patten and his 15 year old girlfriend Chantelle Steadman of Britain are the proud parents of baby girl Maisie Roxanne.

A few Of my Favourite Things

2009-02-12T11:44:00.000-08:00

I got my Sephora Spring Catalogue in the mail today and I am in LOVE with the vibrant colours and over the top stuff they have goin' on for the upcoming season. They are calling it High Voltage and it is soooo kick ass. Here are a few of the things I am for sure putting on my 'Wish List' until my next trip to the store.

Grey's Upset

2009-02-11T19:33:00.000-08:00

Katherine Heigl and T.R Knight are officially leaving Grey's Anatomy for good. They are both said to make their last appearance on the show on this season's finale. I don't know about you, but I am disappointed with this season of Grey's either which way you slice it. The writing is not as clever or heart wrenching, the characters are boring me (Dr.Sloan falling for Lexie? c'mon!) and I'm definitely not tuning in every week or even minding if it is accidentally deleted from my Tivo list. I think that Grey's is dying a slow, deliberate death.

I wonder how they'll leave? I guess I'll have to check out spoilerfix.com and find out what the deal is.

Our new friend Spencer

2009-02-11T19:15:00.000-08:00

Just this past week, we were blessed with a new member to our family. His name is Spencer, and he is a rescued dog. Spencer comes from an abusive home, and another series of foster homes who just couldn't or didn't want to handle him. He came to us very frightened, very dirty and very sad. He had the runs, a bad eye infection and wouldn't eat or drink anything. I'm proud to say that after just 5 days with us, Spencer's eye infection is gone, his stools are back to normal and he is eating and playing and enjoying life. We are very happy to have him.. God Blessed us with the opportunity to save a little life, and we are very grateful!

Cute Couple Alert!!

2009-02-02T18:53:00.001-08:00

Ok, so I didn't even know these two were a couple, and they both act on 2 of my favourite television shows!!!

Lance Gross who plays Calvin on House of Payne and Eve (formally of America's Next Top Model fame) who plays Tyra on the Young and the Restless are engaged!!! Aww I love that.. I think they make such an adorable couple. They got engaged on New Years Eve 2008. All the Best to the Gorgeous Couple!

This is the Headline of the Week?!?

2009-01-30T19:55:00.000-08:00

Ok, so these are the pictures that have been posted on every magazine and celeb website all week. Its Jessica Simpson performing at a chili cook off. The pics are not so very flattering, and the jeans are horrendous. But in no way, is J-Simps a fatso. Sure she's put on a few since her 'Dukes of Hazard' days, but she herself admitted she was dieting and exercising like a fanatic in order to wear that bikini in the 'Boots are Made for Walking' video. (See below)

Being extremely thin is not Jessica Simpson. She is a curvy girl, and she's got great boobs and great legs. There are little girls out there reading these websites and magazine articles and think that if they are curvy or chubby, they are ugly. We, as a society, sensationalize weight gain and weight loss like its a national tragedy. I'd love to have a bod like Jess Simpson, just the way she looks right now. But I'm also happy being me, and I'm not going to look at a magazine and think we should all be carbon copies.

So I leave you with this..

Would you rather look like this- Gaunt, pale, bony and HUNGRY....

Or like this.. happy healthy and sexy?

Da Kink in My Hair

2009-01-21T14:08:00.001-08:00

Da Kink In my Hair has fast become my favourite Canadian T.V Program. It takes Place at Letty's Hair Salon on Eglinton Ave. West aka Little Jamaica in Toronto. Novelette, also known as Letty, is the shop owner and mother of Dre. Her Sister Joy, plays a sassy and hilarious 'rude gyal' that gets herself into some comical mix ups. Nigel, is the sexy male stylist who is known for his womanizing ways. Starr, a newcomer to the salon, was raised and grew up in the 'burbs, adopted by her white parents and steady learning the West Indian way of life.
Some cool facts about Da Kink:

Richard Fagon who plays Nigel used to be a DJ-'Hollywood Rich' on Flow 93.5
Ngozi Paul and Trey Anthony who play Starr and Joy are the Executive Producers of the Show.
The show has featured some of Toronto's up and coming music stars like Jully Black and Keisha Chante.

The New Season starts up February 12th on Global. Check it out if you can!!

We couldn't have this future

Without the struggles of our past.

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."
But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.
We cannot walk alone.
And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.
We cannot turn back.
There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating: "For Whites Only." We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."¹
I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. And some of you have come from areas where your quest -- quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.
Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."2
This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.
With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning:
My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride,
From every mountainside, let freedom ring!
And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.
And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.
Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.
Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.
Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.
But not only that:
Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.
Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.
From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:
Free at last! Free at last!
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!

America's Best Dance Crew- Season 3

2009-01-19T19:20:00.000-08:00

Season 3 of AMBDC kicked off last week. Long anticipated, and I was notably impressed by the crews picked this season. I already have my top 3 picked out. Keep in mind, this may change on a week to week basis.. cause sometimes crews be pulling out all the stops and turning me into their fans mid season. The clogging crew is really different, and I like how tight their moves are. The only problem is the minute they put some hip hop flavour I was embarrassed for them. They were SO dry!! The Step crew could prove to be really cool too, but they gotta really come with it to hype up the crowd.

Crews to watch out for:

Quest Crew

2 members of this crew were in the top 20 of 'So You Think You Can Dance'. Hok and Domenic.. I love their b-boy stuff, but they are also trained in other types of dance, which will add some unique flavours to their breaking.

Beat Freaks

I've got mad love for these chicks. They step on that conception of the "cheer leading squad" all girl crew of the last two seasons. These girls bring it hard. Breaking, ole skool hip hop. They are sic. I'd love to see these girls take it all. Between them all, they have lots of dancing experience, and have dance with the likes of Madonna, Pink and many others.

Fly Khicks

This girl crew is aight. They were all members of the Miami Heat NBA dance squad, so yeah.. they were cheerleaders, and yeah, they do come with some rah rah ish. BUT.... they also are very high energy, can pop and shake and bring tha sexy in a not so skankish way. I dig that. Don't want to see them win it all, but I dig.

And of course, there is my man who I've been lovin' since Season 1 of So You Think You Can Dance. Shane Sparks. I heart him, cause not only is he sexy, but he can dance and choreograph like noone's business. He makes one of my favourite shows that much better..

WTF happened to Joaquin Phoenix?

2009-01-19T10:51:00.001-08:00

Joaquin the 'rapper'

Joaquin not too long ago, when he was sexy and sane.

Seriously.. what is going on with Joaquin Phoenix? Although I have always thought of him as eccentric, and I know he has suffered from addiction, this recent erratic behaviour is downright scary. He announces his retirement from acting not too long ago. He looks a hot mess with some serious bloating, hobo attire and rats' nest on his face. He looks like he has lice and bed bugs living in that ish. But now, he decides hes going to become a rapper. And worse, Casey Affleck, his brother in law, is documenting it all so he can exploit Joaquin's questionable state of mind. Talk about family support! With family like that, who needs paparazzi?

If someone doesn't get this man some help soon, I fear he may go the way of his older brother River. Joaquin is the one who made the 911 call that fateful night at the Viper Room when River overdosed on enough drugs to kill a horse. I pray for Joaquin. Hollywood doesn't need another young dead statistic.

Mama Cita 2.0

2009-01-19T05:55:00.000-08:00

So, I attempted to resurrect my old blog today. The blog that I kept at a time where I was Mama Cita aka Ceets Ceets, and Sarah was Fine Cherry Wine. A time when Michael K first came on the scene, and licorice and rag mags fueled our fire. But to no avail. So here it is.. the new and improved. Writing this in my thirties as opposed to those questionable posts I made whilst in my confusing twenties will be easier. The focus of those posts back then were "I wonder this", "I pray this happens" and so on and so forth. Now it'll be more like "It is what it is." And it IS Caliente in its own right.

I'm still doing the damn thing. Only better.. They don't call it the Dirty Thirties for nothin'!!!!

So welcome to my blog... I hope it gives you some reading enjoyment. My first post is dedicated to Michael K of D-Listed. You will always be the Queen of Celeb Dish. Love you long time Papi!!
