Fashion Face-Off: The Jumpsuit Edition
August 29, 2008
Ever since the beginning of the year, celebs have been jumping on the jumpsuit trend. Shapely actress Jennifer Hudson, jump stated the trend with a Fall 2007 Michael Kors jumpsuit. She rocked the ensemble with glamed up makeup, 50’s hair and pearls. Hot look. So hot that others couldn’t possible let J-Hud monopolize.
Sanaa Latham recently wore the same jumpsuit. But instead of going super glam like Jennifer, she went “girl next door” natural. Isn’t that what most love about Sanaa. Miss Lathan wore minimum to no accessories and still looked fly.
But, for this fashion face-off, I’ll have to go with Jennifer Hudson. Her makeup was a lttle over-done, but I thought she filled the suit slightly better. Who do you think deserves the crown?
Rihanna was also another to present one of the biggest trends of the Spring/Summer seasons, with the introduction of florals via a Spring 08 Stella McCartney Jumpsuit. Great choice Rihanna! Stella definitely proved to be queen of the jumpsuits for the season, with her collection containing at least 7 jumpsuits. Rihanna wore my favorite of the collection, which she paired with multiple bangles and flat sandals.
But she Ri-ri wasn’t the only one to rock the head-to-toe floral look. Model and Actress Angie Harmon, also wore the same jumpsuit to an event. Though she did look beautiful, I think Rihanna won this fashion face-off. Again, it’s the fit on Rihanna that i appreciated more. Who do you think deserves the crown?
And lastly, reality television stars Heidi Montag and Kim Kardashian were both seen wearing an oversized drawstring, halter jumpsuit; Heidi in a blue jumpsuit and Kim in a white jumpsuit. The jumpsuit was also from the same 08 Spring/Summer Stella McCartney collection as Rihanna and Angie Harmon’s. This is a refreshing look for both girls, since they are both multiple veterans of the super-tight Herve Leger dresses. Heidi loved the look so much, that she’s been seen in the same jumpsuit months ago.
As far as the fashion face-off, I’m going with Heidi, yes that Heidi. I love the pop of pink from her clutch. Who do you think deserves the crown?
A Weighty Issue
August 29, 2008
So now the summer is heading towards its late stages and the suntan lotion and swimsuits can be put back in the drawer, it’s time to fall back into those old habits, right?
What’s that you say? What am I talking about? C’mon, do I really have to spell it out? It is a known fact that this country faces an ever growing fight against obesity. It is also a known fact that every summer, we try to get in shape (an oxymoron, get in shape, WTF?).
Anyway, exactly why do we go through this every year this time? I mean, don’t get me wrong, I am guilty of it as much as the next person? But just because we choose to wear less clothing different parts of the year should not be the sole reason we want to get in shape. I don’t know about you, but if I am in the bedroom, between the sheets, in the dead of winter, I want my abs and chest to look just as good as in the summer.
But, I guess health concerns are only a seasonal thing. Far be it to be concerned about falling asleep and never waking up in the dead of winter or falling asleep behind the wheel of your car and calling a multiple fatalities cause your heart cannot pump enough blood to the extremities to keep your vital signs at a normal level. Hell, I even watched Fox LA this morning and saw them do in back to back segments (I kid you not), a story about obesity then a story about a place where you can get that that dietary staple…the churro! For crying out loud, no wonder we can’t think straight and are priorities are so out of whack. Leave it to the news to send you the message “Hey America ,by the way, you’re a bunch of fat asses…..but here’s a churro or two until you get serious about losing weight.” Anyway, moving on.
Where was I, oh yes, losing weight when it’s in season. I know I am being rather cynical about this subject and it’s not too made light of. But we need to stop the trend that has befell our country. It’s called the lack of a work ethic, a lack of discipline. It’s also called being led by the masses. Be honest, we only care about something if it’s fashionable i.e. if we see it happening in mass. We call Jenny Craig or Nutri System or cut our carbs or go in “the zone” when it suits us. And that’s not how it works. Weight loss and fitness is like raising kids or anything else you want to be good at. It is not going to happen if you don’t put the effort in.
Look, I am not saying that when summer comes to not try and look your best. By all means, do so. But the process should be a year long journey not a momentary sacrifice. Trust me, in the long run, you will look at the big picture and thank yourself. And hey, here’s a thought, you might even live longer. Wow, what a novel concept! Late.
The Other Woman
August 28, 2008
*This is Part 2 to “All Men Cheat, Or At Least That’s What We’re
Told…”*
“Tiffany, you just hate women”, he said to me after I’d accused the chick of flirting with him. Well, damn. I wouldn’t say I “hate” all women. That’s a bit harsh. I just don’t like the majority of the women I come into contact with. Furthermore, I have a problem with a CERTAIN type of woman and I don’t know if that woman over there is going to fall into that category.
It hasn’t always been this way. I used to have no problems with women.
But experiences change things, and now, I don’t trust women for what many have become, which is a threat to my relationship.There are increased numbers of women who have anxiously settled into the position of being the “other woman”, and it makes it difficult for us self-respecting ladies to co-exist with them on a daily basis. When did the prospect of being the “other woman” become more important than striving to have healthy relationships of their own? How can women be so destructive but unapolegetic about the damage they are causing to the sanctity of relationships?
Before you may label me, I’m not a “hater”. I despise the word as I feel that it’s used in a very immature and juvenile context, which is not how I want you, my readers, to consider me. Instead, I have come to the realization that the “other woman” has become a glamorized depiction of betrayal and conquest (Angelina ring a bell?). Yes, it has a lot to do with the movies, magazines, videos, blah blah blah. We know that already. We all see mistresses becoming famous, writing tell-all books, and being given air-time to seemingly brag about what they’ve done to another person’s life. It’s not a secret. My issue is with those women who don’t have the wherewithall to differentiate between fantasy and the cold, hard truth. The women other women are around at work and in their daily activities. The women who want YOUR man.
Through wanting to please men and beat the competition, women have become each other’s own worst enemy as they strive to get a man, even YOUR man, by any means possible.
I see young women, older women, walking down streets, shopping in grocery stores, hanging out in groups, at my bowling night, after school picking up their children- all semi-clothed in outfits that barely cover their butts, boobs, and booming desperation. They’re covered by a fabric of self-pity that does nothing to mask their desire for attention and validation. And they’d just as soon smile in your face yet flirt with your man as soon as you turn your back. And the girlfriends and wives never know, which only adds fuel to that fire.
I see women who have male friends or co-workers and unabashedly put down the mens’ girlfriends or wives to make themselves look like the better
woman- “your girl doesn’t like to (feel in the blank)? What is she thinking? She must not know what she’s got….”. If you haven’t been the perpetrator, you’ve definitely been the victim.
I see women, so starved for male admiration, that they’ll do just about anything to get it. They’ll come around men who are “taken” and act inappropriately in hopes that maybe, just maybe, one of those men will turn their glance her way and she will have taken someone’s man and increased her struggling self-confidence. Trust me, it happens often.
Again, if you haven’t been the perpetrator, please believe you’ve been the victim.
And I see women who are very comfortable being the “h_e”, and will do anything and everything to let it be known to the men nearby, regardless of those mens’ relationship status. Groupies, anyone?
Many women are so focused on getting a man or his attention that they’ll backstab other women just to meet their goals, affecting relationships in the process. Due to this desperation, women don’t want to, and can not, comfortably relax with their men when they’re around other women.
Still, because we’re not psychic, women can’t often accurately differentiate between a woman with ill-intentions and a woman who respects herself enough not to compromise her integrity. So, to prevent any accidents from happening, we guard ourselves and closely monitor women to make sure they don’t prove our suspicions right. That paranoia is causing many women, including myself, to feel uncomfortable in the presence of women when I’m with my man. Maybe he’s too handsome. Or maybe he’s just a man with a pulse and that makes him fair game. I don’t know. But I do know that women never know when a woman who would be happy to be the “other woman” is lurking in the shadows. The allure of being the ”other woman” has the power to blind those women to how pathetic they are, and we realize that and often point it out to our men, who become annoyed, and with reason. What our men don’t understand is how hard we hope, wish and pray that they are strong enough to combat such a frivolous proposition if offered.
It’s not always due to a woman’s insecurity. No matter how secure a woman may be in herself or her relationship, she never fully knows if her man will be able to withstand the power of a woman who wants to be the chick-on-the-side. And with these types of women increasing in quantity everyday, respectable women are being outnumbered, and some men fall victim to their no-strings-attached idealogies. As a result, once normal, trusting women have become distrustful and cautious, which often comes off as bitchy and insecure. Thus, a cycle is created.
It shouldn’t be like this.
A woman should not be concerned with questioning if another woman is attempting to steal her man. We should be able to go out with our dates, boyfriends or husbands without feeling like we’ve entered a competiton to secure an endangered species. Until women stop lusting after taken men and subjecting themselves to the demeaning “other woman” status, relationships will continue to be threatened, and women will be pitted against each other. And I will always give a mean side-eye to the chick across the way who’s staring a bit too hard in my man’s
direction. She better recognize.
Hugs and Kisses,
T. Hobbs
