Humans walk underwater!!

Here is another RANDOM post. While I was browsing one of my daily video sites I came across this cool video. Apparently in Japan they have invented a fake pool; with a way of walking under water. The economy must be doing pretty well over there...wouldn't you say?

Anywho, I think I have figured out the trick... Check out the video below and tell me what you think.

Madea Goes To Jail the Movie.

Tyler Perry is up to it again...Madea Goes To Jail is set to hit movie theaters next Spring. I tried to upload the link, but no luck...here's the link.

What do you think? release

Questions for Thought.

Sometime ago I posted a topic called Questions for Thought. I stated I was going to post my randomness every week, but I fell behind. Feedback is always welcome.

Why when a citizen is shot it is called MURDER, but when a politician or anyone with status is shot it's called ASSASSINATION?

Will Sister Souljah do it again?


Recently, there has been a buzz in the urban community about the upcoming release of Sister Souljah's sequel to the hit seller The Coldest Winter Ever . The first novel gave me insight on a young woman's struggle to survive in the streets of New York. The sequel is from a males point of view; one of the characters called Midnight whom the young women(Winter Santiga) chases around for 3/4 of the book. However, it was still excellent page turner and I would recommend anyone to read it at least once in their lifetime.

I'm sure the sequel will be a great read or let's hope so at least.

Why Blog??


In my first post I stated why I blog. I said something to the like of “Maintaining this blog will provide me with new challenges and networking opportunities. I will share my stories, challenges and little known secrets; along with an eclectic mixture of Journalism”. Today, a friend of mine asked me (you can find her at Alease Michelle)…Why Blog? Why should anyone blog?, but more importantly Why should a fashion student blog?

Well, after a brief search on my trusty pal Google; I found an individual that goes by the name of Richard Bejtlich. I found his answers interesting ant this is what he had to say,

-Blogging organizes thoughts.
-Blogging captures and shares thoughts.
-Blogging facilitates public self-expression.
-Blogging establishes communities.
-Blogging can contribute original knowledge faster than any other medium.

I thought his answer where pretty to the point…don’t you? This response can go for anyone who likes to post daily, weekly or even monthly entries; I believe we all can relate. SO, a fashion student would fall inside those boundaries.

However, the purpose of a blog is needed. Blogging is a form of marketing so I see it as a product. For instance, when I first set-up my blog a subject was needed. I choose to be eclectic hence “The eclectic life of a college student”. I also wanted my reader to know me on a personal level hence about me page and a various dairy entry. Next, I set goals for myself to post at least twice a month, however events held me from sticking to them.

I have one more blog I would like to share. On another search performed on Google came across a blog titled I am Fashion. This blog allows fashion students from anywhere to post about random fashion thoughts. I found this pretty interesting considering it's all about fashion. I’m not too sure how you access entry to post, but I will further my research share it with you later.

Fall Trend: Collar's Standing


On the runways’ this season older fashion statements grace the runways once again. Elder statements such as the high hems of flood pants, turtlenecks invented in the 19th century, marble (yes marble) inspired designs, and collars that stand on their own.

In the past it was one of the worst fashion statements, but today it is known as fall 2008 hottest fashion trend. Trendsetter designers Gianfranco Ferre, Neil Barrett, Etro, and Yves Saint Laurent stiffened collars with light fabrics, while iconic designers Emporio Armani and Louis Vuitton said heaver fabrics will do. I don't know about you, but I think these collars deserves a standing ovation.
