That's Some Good Hair!

Spring 2010 Louis Vuitton

Last week, the models on the runway for the Spring 2010 Louis Vuitton collection stomped down the catwalk with larger-than-life Afros (power to the people!). The presentation was filled with lots of "travelers" pieces. All the layering and different patterns are well suited for any adventurous and on-the-go girl! Anyway, I understand the collection, but what I don't get is the Afros. Whenever I look at the photos, I can't help but silently wave to my sort of nappy rooted sistahs above (HEYY!).

This got me thinking about other things...

I would never wear my hair au naturel, meaning in a fro. I don't do Afros. With the exception of my younger years, I never have and I never will. I'm on that "creamy crack" as one girl said in Chris Rock's new movie Good Hair. There are girls who look really nice in fros, but I'm not one of them. That aside, I can't wait to see the movie Good Hair. It uncovers what is considered "good hair" in the black community and explores the ins and outs of the black hair business. Back in middle and high school, I would constantly get braided weave extensions every single summer. I was convinced my hair was growing because of this; until, my sophomore year of high school. When I removed the extensions, I lost about 30% of my hair. I waved bye bye to my growing "good hair". And ever since then, I vowed to never ever get a weave. I haven't. I love my real hair. Sure it may not have that, for the lack of a better term, white-girl-hair bounce, but it's my hair and it's good hair.

Coco Before Chanel Official Movie Trailer

I absolutely adore Audrey Tautou. I fell in love with her acting chops when I saw the movie Amélie six or seven years ago. She's perfect for the role as Coco Chanel. Enjoy!

I'm A Cool Writer! A Cool, Cool, Cool Writer.

On the board she wrote:

"Online, no one can see how crappy your writing is (yay!)."

This my friends set the tone for the ED2010 Dot-Com Class I attended last night. The class is a two day course on well, writing for the web. I had the liberty of attending the first class--for a decent price--tonight. And I think I may have found my Atoosa Rubenstein for online writing. Her name is Rachel Sklar, Senior Contributing Editor and “Eat The Press” columnist for The Huffington Post, and dotcom extraordinaire! What I loved about her teaching was not only her energy, but her down-to-earth vibe; the lady was not afraid to admit her love for Grease 2 and Harry Potter! She also provided some very, very vital information that I think I'll start applying to Secretista.

Well as an assignment, she told everyone in the class to go home, create a blog (check!) and embed a Grease 2 video (double check!).

Now I must tell you all that I'm not a Grease 2 fan. You see, to me Grease 2 is like many other sequels; it has a what the heck(?!) factor. When we last left Grease, Danny, Sandy and the gang graduated and they all went their separate ways. Rama lama lama, it was over. Kaput. The end. But then Grease 2 which is set 2 years after the original hits you with unknown characters and only one familiar face--beauty school drop out (isn't she a little too old to still be in high school?). I don't get it! You can't recreate an epic movie. You just can't. Just like you can't recreate Bring It On four times over... oh wait, that's right. That already happened, and who agrees with me that they ruined the cheerleading movie saga? But uh, just like you can't recreate Bring It On four times and expect the same hype from the first one, you can't create a sequel that doesn't make any sense. Hmm. I do hear that Grease 2 has recently accumulated a cult following though. Well whether I like it or not, I will admit the Grease 2 video makes me want a cool rider (a cool, cool, cool rider!).

Hott Mess!

As I'm running outfits through my head for Ed2010's 7th Annual Welcome to NYC Intern Party, I only have one thing to say:

Do not see You Don't Mess With The Zohan. I saw it yesterday and it was absolutely horrible. I usually give all movies the benefit of the doubt and try to see the light in the horrid mess, but no. This movie was HORRIBLE. It was racially demeaning and if I was Middle Eastern, I would find this movie offensive and comically confusing. HOWEVER, Adam Sandler looked fit. He no longer has a beer belly and is actually kind of hot!

Oh! And I can't wait to meet Miss Couturable at the intern party! I'm sure she'll be overly adorable and I hope this won't be our last outting together.

Enjoy your weekend dearies!

P.S. I'm glad to learn that I'm not the only fine lady receiving rude comments from sleazy men.
