I wasn't to impressed with the Victoria's Secret fashion show. The lingerie wasn't as cute as the years before. And is it just me or does that million dollar bra look just about the same every year? I say it does. Well those of you who don't know much about me I'm working on writing a book, I may post some of the excerpts from my book to get opinions, Which could help me with my writing process and stuff. So much has happened in the last few months I still have to get situated and get back in the habit of a lot of things like my blog. Gonna go now.
Well as some of you know we all go through things in life and make decisions that we wish we could take back or change, the last time I posted a post I was in New York. This post is back at home in Va!! so glad to be back. I got quite a bit of e-mails from a few readers, I was so shocked I really wasn't sure if anyone read my blog or not, I mean I know people browse by but... so they were wondering when I was going to post somemore because they liked my previous posts. One person even told me that my blog inspired them and made them feel happy!! I couldn't believe it, but it made me happy to know that I was making some one's day. And if I inspire you then thank you very much, we all need to be inspired sometime. now currently i'm at a friends house writing this post. But back where I stay there is absolutely no signal what so ever, and that sucks a whole whole lot. But i'm going to go where ever I have to go in order to keep posting posts and keep people up to date. So stay tuned for updated blog posts and other happenings I have some things in the works for my blog. Once start getting a financial flow back in you'll see the changes and progress. Well gotta go 1 *Chocolate Apple*
Okay, people think because they get on a reality show that automatically makes them a star or that makes them acting, singer movie or what ever material. There are some people in reality t.v. that stands out they make it beyond reality t.v. and do a very good job like Toccara from the previous America's Next Top Model, I think she's good. This New York goes to Hollywood crap is BS! first of all she's nasty and rude to almost every one around her. The girl that she was beefing with at the auditions has a better chance of making it in Hollywood than (Tiffany) New York does. She can't pronounce words, her vocab is limited some of her weaves are a hot mess. I don't dislike New York , her attitude is just nasty, and she got those triple sized implants to go along with it. She got bimbo (ed) up for Hollywood. I see her getting a role in a movie that doesn't really get anywhere in the box office, one of those flops. And I am not trying to be negative because if you want fame then do what you do to get fame but people get on these reality shows and think their mega-stars, you can get dropped just as easy as you've gotten picked up or picked for a part, theres plenty of people with talent that can steal your shine. She needs to learn some humbleness and change her attitude. Vh1 must be getting desperate running out of ideas or something.......
Hello all, I just found out that actor/comedian Bernie Mac died this morning, from pneumonia in a hospital in Chicago. Anbody out their that knows Bernie Mac may know him from House Party, Kings of Comedy, Ocean's- Eleven and many other movies including his own television sitcom The Berrnie Mac Show. Reports say that he was also suffered from Sarcoidosis, a lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells on the body's organs but it was said that the disease had went into remission. If any of you watched Flavor of Love season 3 it's the same disease that Shy and Prancer's mother's died from. My condolences goes out to the Mac family, for their lost.
I just have something to say about the new 90210. When has there ever been an African American person in the show or on the set for that matter? Not that there is a problem with it. I am young but I definitely remember coming home from school, ( my sister and I) to see 90210. Then we all talked about it in school the next day. I've heard of people doing remakes of classic movies, like even though this is old it still bugs me till this day "Charlie and the chocolate factory" verses the made over version. And the made over version just plain sucked(literally). Okay so 90210 is a classic and it should be left alone. Right? who agrees with me? I don't see anything happening for this new show I'm sorry thats just my opinion, it could turn out to be good who knows. Oh and if you remember one of my previous posts that was about the Wendy Williams show, remember I said that if I watched the show again and changed my views on how I felt about the show I would write about it right? So okay, some episodes are good and some aren't, thats my word! Signing off!!

Hello all, It's going to be in the 90's for the entire week over here and very humid, can you say it's going to be miserable out here or what!? I came home from the gym this morning, turned the t.v. on a caught the last few minutes or so of the Wendy Williams show. My friend just the other day, asked me had I saw it yet since from what she told me it's only airing in New York. I told her no and now I finally had the chance to see half of it today. I'm am so sorry but these are just solely my opinions and I am by no means knocking or hating because anyone that can do something positive with their life I'm all for it, it's better than being out in the streets somewhere or worse. Any way I really feel like her show will not last that long, who knows I could be wrong but it's just how can I put this?.....Hell it's damn near tacky and ghetto and I wish she would get that blond weave out of her head and get a color that looks more appealing on her. Oh no! did I just say all of that!? I am so totally sorry I was thinking that in my head and accidentally wrote it on today's post!! Oh well....... on top of that she has this snobbish stuck up way about her, maybe i'm just judging her from her attitude from her radio show and now her talk show....I don't like it. I'm going to watch another episode of it and see if my feelings about her and the show change if they do I'll put up a post if not I won't, gotta go! *Chocolate Apple*
Yes, that is the title of Ashanti's latest single and new video "Good Good". I like this video, this is a good look for Ashanti, and not only are the 80's in Retro is just in period. That's the look now but the colors are more brighter and bold with a slight modernized twist. And she also had hmm what else can we refer him to other than Nelly (Ashanti's man maybe?) Even though their not making there business known if they are dating or not I presume that they must at least be good friends if nothing more, their all in each others videos and in each other's faces, let's not forget to mention they were sitting beside each other at the BET awards this year. Honestly I wasn't to sure how I felt Ashanti was going to do on her album this year, so far from what I've heard I really like it. And if Pretty Ricky does not sound like H-town you know the trio group from the 80's and 90's, they sung a song that we all use to bop our heads to when some of us know we were to young to be listening to that song!! "Knockin' Boots" Yes! and they sound so good. They just released the their new single "Cuddle Up" off of their third album titled "80's Babies" feat their new girl group Butta Creame. And the ladies can saaaang!! Okay so here is Ashanti's new vid and Pretty Ricky's remake of "knockin' da boots"! Press play! *Chocolate Apple*
Hello all!, I must start off by saying that even though USA fell last night, I give her nothing but props for bouncing right back up, joining in with the audience by clapping for her self, and then strutting the rest of the way to her spot on stage. Fantabulous!! For those of you that missed out, shame on you! but not to worry I have it right here! *Smooches* ~Chocolate Apple~
Is it just me or does Eddie Murphy's new movie 'Meet Dave' look like a big flop? Now don't get me wrong, Eddie is funny. But this has got to be the stupidest looking movie about to come out played by him that I have ever seen. (Is stupidest even a word?, I think I just made that up) 'Norbit' looked stupid when it first started advertising but it was very funny, in my opinion anyway. And 'Wall-e' the movie about the little robot, sold more than Angelina Jolie's movie 'Wanted'. And since were on the topic of movies I know I'm really late, but remember I can do that. I saw 'Meet the Brown's' it was a very nice movie, that was one that I also thought wasn't going to do so well, but Tyler Perry as always did it again.
You'd think with this rain and these thunderstorms it would be a little cool. No it's even hotter! Speaking of hot this past Sat. I went to the WEEN empowerment network 'Don't judge me...empower me' tour. It was full of information and very uplifting, geared towards all women but mostly women of color, there were a panel of women for each topic, those topics included health, finances, careers and success and relationships. Some of the women to name a few were MC Lyte (host) Valeisha Butterfield creator of WEEN and she also works in the entertainment industry. Lil mama, Letoya Luckett former member of the group Destiny's Child, Melyssa Ford, Alesha Renee and others. I would have pictures up for all to see but my pathetic digital camera has failed me over the years and now I must do an upgrade or remain pictureless and since I can't go without getting a picture of something It's time for an upgrade! Oh and I forgot to mention their was one man, and that was Hill Harper whoo, he's even yummier in person! the next time I attend one of these events I will have pictures!! The tour was a great idea and it turned out to be a really nice event, I left feeling even stronger and more empowered and believing that I can do anything that I want to do in life. Nice experience. *Chocolate Apple*
You won't believe me when I tell you what I've came across!! This is so genius, cute and affordable but yet so simple it makes you think why didn't I think of that!? This heated lash curler 16.00$ from Sephora by Sephora is where it's at. No more messing around with those manual lash curlers that get all clumpy and gooey with mascara dating back from to years ago, and no worries about the handle getting stuck and not lifting up and down anymore!! *squeal* just let the lash curler heat up for 15 seconds, start at the root of the lash and comb outward, as if you were putting on mascara. Comb into any shape desired it's even good for those stubborn lashes that won't budge with the regular lash curlers.Apply mascara afterwards for curly, flawless star-studded lashes!!
Hello to all! I have a lot to say so i'm just going to cut to the chase. The BET awards last night was better than last years, I must say personally. My girl Keyshia Cole worked it on stage, even when she happens to get out of breath or make a little boo-boo on stage she comes back stronger.Usher put on a very good performance did anyone catch that look on Ne-yo's face at the end of it? Looked a little green with envy if you ask me or maybe he was thinking that was hot but I got something better? the look leaves me puzzled. I definitely cannot get over Chris Brown and Ciara's dance routine they had together to his single 'Take You Down' It was HOTT! and were all glad that Chris Brown is partially of age so that we can dance in these raunchy, booty shakin' ways to him. I could see from last night's performance that Ciara is no longer a virgin, that's if she started out as one to begin with.Somebody is has blown that back out! Could somebody please loan me 50 cents I need it for the parking meter today! And why did they zoom in on Rihanna's face when Chris and C were dancing? and did Chris the same way when Rihanna was performing? T-pain looked like a damn fool in his ugly metallic and black suit with that top hat I now officially hate, no matter the style or color it's gotta go!! Rick Ross was just down right wrong for what he had on last night! who told him he could come out on stage and do that? I would say up until Big boi and Luda came out the circus show theme fit perfectly, it was a freak show. Other performers were Alicia keys who also had a good performance and didn't we all like how S.W.V, EnVogue and TLC re united and performed with their groups on stage. Lil Wayne tore it up with his performance. I have no idea what he was doing to Kanye when he went on stage to except his award but it left me puzzled and got me to thinking.... Nelly J.D. Fergie and Ciara did great, Kudos to Fergie for rapping her ass off ( I love her!) and Nelly because his body looked oh so good!! Al Green took home the Lifetime Achievement award with performances by Maxwell, Jill Scott, Anthony Hamilton, Al Green Himself and John Legend. Qunicy Jones took home the Humanitarian Award. It wasn't a bad year this year. Oh and my friend is puzzled about how U.G.K won an award for best video of the year when the video was from like a year ago or so? Once again my mind is puzzled on that one! Check out what I thought was one of the best performances from last night's awards, Smooches! *Chocolate Apple*
Talk about hot!! the weather up here is blazing, and yes today is the first day of Summer! Some days are actually getting to be unbearable but thats why you go out prepared. All I've been wearing are those cute balloon and form fitting summer dresses with tights, plaid Capri's, color denim shorts with the hot gladiator sandals, A bangle or big bracelet or sometimes my flip flops. All the hot in style gear for the summer, I've also been hitting up the community pool on occasions. I just recently got a writing gig writing for an online magazine call T.O.U.R-Mag ( turn off your radio) they just had their launch party yesterday but unfortunately I missed it because I had to work. I haven't written anything for the magazine but will be soon. I will let you know when my first article and the ones after that are posted on the site. I'm so excited for this opportunity I'm going to be writing about fashion! (fashion journalism) which is what I'm going to major in . Speaking of majoring I'm looking to apply, register and enroll for classes either this fall or in the spring of 2009! yep that's right the Chocolate Apple is already busy but will be even busier. Don't worry I will make as much time as possible to update my blog frequently. I don't want to loose the precious reader's , viewers or supporters so I felt that I should come and give an update so you won't be out there worrying about me. In the meantime I'm going to sit back on my day off and chill and take care of some business, please everyone out there be cool and do not get over heated!! Yes that is a picture of me, not a good shot I know but the next time I promise it'll be better!!
I love this video sooo much!! For those of you who don't know the concept of this video was taken from one of Spike Lee's movies School Daze. It really makes me want to watch it right now!!
The weather was very nice in the city yesterday. I went to Times Square and waltzed down 5th ave. when all of a sudden I was stopped in my tracks. The display windows in Bergdorf Goodman were amazing! every detail was to the "T". People stopped by to take pictures and discuss the wonderful work. The theme was like an Alice In Wonderland slash those old freak show circus looks. They used real stuffed animals, poor animals! but they were so cute dressed up in suits and little top hats, and dresses with umbrella's. I manage to snag one pic of it, it wasn't such a hot shot though, the sun was glaring on the glass and little Nicole was in the way. Hopefully the display will still be up this week, then I could try to go get some more pics. Oh well, I'm outie for the day. Lets all pray that the nice weather stays!
Hey C.A. babes! yes this is a new post. Surprised? I'm not, I knew I was coming back on the scene as I always do! Don't you just hate when I stop writing for certain amounts of time? I do to! I'm very, very busy as I always am, but one thing I never do is give up on my wonderful blog and leave my readers hanging in the wind. Although I will make note when I will be absent from posting so you will know when to come back. And have I got news for you! The Chocolate Apple has relocated to S.I. New York! **squeal**!! there will be even more exciting posts coming your waaaaaay! So make sure you hang on very tight!
One of my dear friends, informed me that the CW was trying to give t.v. show The Game the boot. I already had a fear that it may happen since they kicked Girlfriends to the curb. She informed me that people have been sending e-mails and making telephone calls to the CW network, So the show can stay on, So far so good it's been said that they were thinking about keeping the show on air, since the phone calls and e-mails have been flooding through. To keep it coming here are some numbers and e-mail addresses, so that you can show your support and help save The Game.
