Bootynomics...

"Ass" we know from daily human observation, not everyone is born with a big behind. Some people don't want one - others do the most just to get a little booty. I stumbled across Buffie the Body's website called "Bootynomics.com" today, and it is very insightful. Contrary to popular belief; her buttocks are natural - and there are actual ways to achieve such bootydom that doesn't require cosmetic surgery. Her body is extremely fit, and unlike these girls running out to get butt implants and shots, hers will actually still be firm and upright in ten years. 


I was born with a large butt - which seems to be hereditary from both sides of my family. I know, though , that without proper maintenance - even a genetically created booty can lose its "oomph." Which is why I stay in the gym, so I can keep it all on point. In the age of enhancement, I'm proud to say what I have is all natural, farm raised - booty. 


For my friends who are not well endowed - I introduce you to Bootynomics. Buffie gives advice on the best workouts for a small waist and large bottom. She demonstrates them in video form as well, which is quite entertaining to watch. 


I wonder where she gets gym pants from... 


Buffie measures her waist and bottom:





I respect Buffie so much more after discovering this site. I've never truly understood the dynamics of a video vixen, not to mention one with such - girth! To know that she goes through the troubles of exercising like us "regular girls" do is a breath of fresh air. I see girls out on the street who say they don't workout, yet they have huge asses and the tiniest waists. Something's in this southern water, I tell ya. Buffie is a real woman - 31 inch waist? She's showing us to ignore the social norms and get comfortable with out bodies. What am I complaining about 25 inches for? I'm trying to increase my booty mass back to 41 inches, so it'll all be in proportion. Something I have about Coke-bottle shapes...


{{Tangent}} Whenever I think about what I thought my measurements should be, I remember Nelly's song "Ride Wit Me" - where he says 'measurements is 36-25-34.' Now I realize - that's not a coke bottle! Thank God I didn't base my body image on that. I'd be wayyy off. He's obviously a breast man, lol


Anyhow, I highly recommend the website: http://www.bootynomics.com. It's extremely informative and stresses the codes that I live by: eat healthy, live healthy - be healthy. Not much else to it. Much luck on your booty journeys. Stay with me on mine! 

Renter Blues...





The thing I love about my blog - is that many people I know read it and say nothing to me about it. Therefore - it is an open canvas for me to vent my feelings and move on. 


I am growing tired of my apartment. What used to be a symbol of freedom has become a space of confinement and sometimes aggravation for me. I moved here with the assumption that I would be in comfort - and I find my self being put in some of the most awkward situations. I won't elaborate out of respect - but I will say - I feel disrespected. That will be addressed another time.


So, I bring you to my next journey. Home ownership. Over the course of the next few months, I plan on gathering enough money to put a down payment on a house. Yes - I can do that. It's going to be a serious challenge, but it's totally possible. The amount of money I pay to live in this spacious apartment could pay a mortgage twice, even three times over. Why not just pay a mortgage? I can be at reckless abandon in the true freedom of my own domecile. I'm tired of worrying about who's here unannounced, or if I should lock my room door when I go to bed. Yeah, shit is like that right now. And it frustrates and saddens me. I'm way too passive to attack this the way it should be done; so I'll quietly plan my next move. Killers move in silence. 
I hope you guys are ready to go, cuz I sure am.

||Tattoo Lifestyle|| - Pinup Edition...

So, we've begun the journey to my back piece. Leif came over and started the line work on my the pinup portion - and I love her! 


I can't resize the dimensions - feel free to click the links to see it better... 





I used my tripod to take the pics, and I realized that this summer has left me with a million tan lines! 


Needless to say - I can't wait to get the color portion started.

Big thanks to Leif Olson for holding me down once again. Peep the previous posts for his past work... 

Stop Falling...

So, I've been having this strong attraction to the laws of Karma lately - and I feel like it's actually affecting me in a way that I least expected. My main goal in life is to treat people the way I'd want to be treated; to make people happy so that I can find happiness in return. I never realized that this could backfire...

I have someone that's in love with me. Sadly, the feeling is not mutual. As we all know, I've been focusing all my romantic energies to this relationship for the past how many months - almost a year now. I'm not sure if this gentleman realizes that, or if he's trying to overlook the fact. We used to talk a while ago - before I started being involved with "Him," but I realized he wasn't the person I was looking for - not to mention he had a girlfriend. This guy, let's call him G - tried to ask me out, and I told him that I'd already moved on. I thought he understood that. Apparently he hasn't - and he's been doing extra things to try and gain my interest. Unfortunately, my sights are set elsewhere, and I don't know what to do for him. 

It's been boiling down to the point where he'll ask me again - I saw it coming. He kept making hints, "Oh, soon you'll see," or "You haven't seen anything yet." And I tried to ignore it, but we can only run from things for so long. I felt horrible, but I realize that I've done all I can. I've been a good friend to him, never lied to him about anything - and now it's time for real honesty. Karma comes back into play. 



I've been having issues with "Him" when it comes to hearing his thoughts on things - and the one thing I asked him for was feedback, and I couldn't get the answers I was looking for out of him. I decided G wasn't going to get that treatment, because it wouldn't be fair to him. As I'm writing this post - he asked me out again. And I told him I couldn't. I haven't heard a response from him yet. I feel horrible - but I think this is the best approach. I could never lead him on - that's just not something I do. 

I once wrote this quote on Facebook, and it resonates in my life so much. 
"Remember in life, while you are pining for someone - there's someone in the world that is pining for you..."

Why do things like this happen?

The Jordan "One".

The Jordan number One sneaker has been one of my favorite designs since I began to recognize the sneaker world. Its streamline design and simplicity always impressed me, and I have longed for another pair to this day. 


Alyster and I went on our excursion to Miami in search of nothing this weekend. Of course, when I said I wasn't going to buy anything - we walk into a sneaker store and there they are. The One's were perched beautifully on display, and at a good deal, too. I had to cop. 




Putting them on my feet brought me back to my sneakerhead days and the rush came back. I looked around, and realized that a lot of the kicks I wanted were in the store. Needless to say, I paid and hightailed it out of there. I can't afford financial trouble right now. 0_o






They look so beautiful on my feet! Especially with skinny's or leggings. It reminds me of junior high school and the days when I could spend money recklessly on things I didn't need. I miss those days, but being a responsible adult is way more beneficial. 


Yeah, my real size. Ain't no future in frontin'. 

I remember when kids were faking their shoe sizes to save money. 6y was the biggest size for kids - so everyone conveniently wore the same size. It was funny, to see kids limping in their new shoes; you could pretty much tell who was fraudulent. As soon as 7 became a kids size, all the boys hopped on board. Sweet memories. I preferred to save my toes from bunions and corns - so I stayed true to my feet. 


I think I may start to rebuild my collection. Lightly, this time around. There are some J's that I've never had, some that were stolen (Long story), some that were worn to demolition. I'm not going to the new school - strictly OG's and one time retro's. Gotta stay true to the craft...

I didn't get a Jordan card in the box! Is that a new thing? Ah well. I'll order one online. Gotta have it all in the box...

Death To All Fakes!

So, Alyster and I hit up the Swap Shop yesterday on our annual Florida excursion. We were on the search for grinders and stun guns - and stumbled upon a little "shop" selling Jordans and Nike's - of course, we had to stop and take a peek. 


As expected - the kicks were fraudulent. 


We managed to sneak a few shots as the store vendor watched us pretend to be intrigued by his selection. I was intrigued by the fact that someone was actually buying the sneakers while we were there. 


To the naked eye, many people wouldn't even notice the subtle flaws in the sneaker design. But us aficionados have a sixth sense and a keen sight for these things. Peep game... 


 The "Nike" embroidery is very suspect on these Blazers. If you check out the tutorial, you'll see that the stitching is definitely off from the official embroidery. 


((Image via nikeskateboarding.org))

We clearly have an example of Fake #1. The font is extremely thin, and slanted at an odd angle. Cover that with some jeans and they'd be none the wiser - but that's a no-no in the sneaker book!

The photos won't show you that it's not real suede material - but it's not... 


Peep the blazers, Spiz'Ike's - fakes galore! 







So, we giggled about the sneakers for a while; inspecting them as we went along, and the vendor got upset. He walks over and states, "These are not fake. All these sneakers are real!" Further confirming that they were frauds. All we kept saying the whole time was, "These are hot - I wonder if they have my size," and "Damn, these ain't even come out in NY yet." Lol - I guess he felt insecure about his sneaker selection. 

As fake as they were - the insoles on these Spiz'Ike's were hot... 

Shoppers beware - while the quality of fakes are improving slightly, their methods are not. If you get caught slippin - you will still get clowned!

Waiting...





So, it seems I'll be indefinitely on a self-induced drought. Because, quite frankly - I don't have to be. There are plenty of options out there for me to use at my disposal for things of the sexual nature. Ironically enough - as "high natured" as I might be, I find myself only desiring one person. Him. 


C'mon - don't act like all women are this way... 


From thousands of miles away - he still has this magnetic hold on me. As bad as I'd love to be laid out right now - I have the urge to wait. I truly think the reward will be worth the impending torture. But boy - when it goes down. Crash bang BOOM. Nuff said. I really hope he knows this, because I truly feel sorry for him when the time comes ::smile:: 


The hopeless romantic shows her face again. All I want to hear are slow jams, old school love songs, lover's rock. I can't explain it. Something inside of me just keeps saying give it time. And so I do. I can only hope that it's sooner than later... 

Trey Songz feat. Nicki Minaj - "Bottoms Up" (video)



Ummm.... 





Well uhh, Trey looked good shirtless!

LLoyd Banks feat. Lloyd - "Any Girl"

I love Lloyd Banks. Been supporting him since day one - when he was the camera-shy cutie behind 50 Cent in all the street videos. I'll never forget the first time they let him spit in front of the camera - I fell in love. He's adorable - but he's got punchline for days, so he's not just a pretty face. "The Hunger For More" is one of my favorite albums of all time. So, when I heard he's coming out with a new joint - I was all over it. Honestly, the new video isn't doing it for me - but I'm hoping the next single will out do this one. Feast your eyes on my baby boy, lol. 


SoFlo Living: Beach Life... (Photos)

I had to babysit for my boss - so I decided to take the opportunity and hit the beach. In the coming months, my ability to do so may be really limited, I've got to soak it up now! 



Anywhoo, I had a nice chill time with Skye and Rylee. She was a handful, but we managed to vibe and keep everything cool. 




I got this lifeguard swimsuit in Myrtle Beach - and I've been dying to wear it...

 Skye aka Natalie Portman



My favorite pic of the day

SunTan and Sunburn.




Skye gettin her sexy onnn. 


Sundrunk.



It was a beautiful day - my bad to Skye for her getting burnt out there. Poor thing.

Mars Vs Venus...





So he's been redeeming himself. Silently. 


I can't explain it, but despite whatever's been going on with him - he still managed to come through in a clutch situation. Surprised the hell out of me, though. So - I think I'm gonna stick around for a little while longer. I know he's got a lot on his plate right now, and I figure if I give it all time to smooth over - things will be fine. Cuz who am I kidding - I've got a lot of ish going on right now, too. I'd only want the same in return. 


This whole situation has made me start to wonder: What ever happened to patience and understanding in relationships? We're all so quick to give up and leave. Everybody's on to the next one. I'm not a rookie to this relationship thing, so I'm always ready for the long run. What I'm afraid of - is that I'll walk away from this, and miss out on something incredible. Nobody's perfect, no relationship's perfect - no matter how "perfect" the circumstances may be. Even if we lived next door to each other all the time - things could still be rocky. Honestly, I think the distance could prove to be healthy at this stage. As long as we make time for each other... 


I'll say it again, he makes me happy. Yes, there are moments when he confuses, saddens, frustrates me - but that's a part of life in general. I just feel like I'm not getting any younger, and instead of going for quantity - I've decided to chose quality. He's a good man; works hard, family oriented and keeps a close group of friends. Plus, he's hot. Everything I could ask for. I do worry that if I desire these things - who else is wanting them, too? It's a double edged sword that I'm willing to battle with - for now. Just have to keep patience and stay strong through the battle. I hope he's willing to do the same. 


Over the past few weeks, I've been paying attention to things people say about love and relationships. A large majority of my peers aren't talking about healthy relationships. Some are going for promiscuity, others cheating on their partners - some are searching for love. I've never been the type to share, and I suppose this is where my problem lies. I'd rather be alone than find someone to keep me occupied in between time. Is this a bad thing? 


And what do I do if this whole thing goes to sh*t? Pick up and start over? Jeeze. This love thing is tough.

Throwback Vid - Ryan Leslie - "Addiction (Remix) - Addicted to Food"

One night at like 3am, my little brother and I decided to write this song and record it. I would've sung better, but it was so damn late! 


If You Really Knew Me...





Watching this MTV show has provoked me to let a little more of myself out for people to see. I realize, being a NY native - we tend to put up a wall when we're in strange/new/foreign situations. I'm still like that, after five years of being in Florida. I just can't let everybody into my world - because it's hard enough to manage the people who have been in it for years.


Here goes! 





Ohh - and #IfYouReallyKnewMe - you'd know I love to sing! But I'm sooo nervous! 
 Love you guys - soon come back with more... <3

Affion Crocket as Breezy - "Douches"





I meant to post this weeks ago. We died laughing all day when we watched it in South Carolina. Affion is truly a comedian - and his impersonations are always on point. This was classic, though. I know you guys know this is a parody of Chris Brown's "Deuces"  - and if you didn't - you will now...





Doesn't someone in the background vocals sound like Max B


O - open up and - Douche It

Tank - "Sex Music"

My dream man - he's back...


Anticipating this new album seriously. Cuz Kimi's about to be on a real love drought...

Erykah Badu ft. Rick Ross - "Window Seat/Get Munny"



I've been hoping for a video to Get Munny - who would expect Queen Badu to take such a gangster turn? I love how willing she is to try all angles in production and music. Ross looks like his chain with the stocking cap on his head, lol - life imitates art? 


Peep the video here: 

A Sister Story...



So, today - I'm going to share my blog space with my little sister. You may know her as LittleSister, Banana or Nann. I'm going to write a little bit about her, and let her write about me. Cuz - she's cool.


I have a sister named Nann, she is nine and a half years old. ((Excuse me - nine, and a quarter - according to her.)) She is my best friend. I'm sorry, she is my sister - according to her. I think she's awesome because we like to do a lot of things together. I love going to the movies with her and shopping at the mall. She is very stylish, especially when I let her pick out her own clothes. She's a good dancer, and a good artist - my favorite pieces of art are the stories she draws me. One day, I would like to make a storybook with her.

Sometimes I wish I lived in NY again so I could be with her everyday. I miss walking her home from school, picking her up from the school bus. I miss laying with her at night and doing silly projects or making forts out of blankets. I love her! A lot! 


I love my sister she is the best and she always take me everywhere. And sometime she hangen out with her friend.My sister name kimani my sister birthday past all ready now she is 23.
So today i have fun playing with my sister playing uno, match games everything me and my sister are the best.

I didn't even bother to edit that. I am always amazed by how much she's grown and evolved over the past nine, uhh - ten years. She's amazing. When I'm having a cruddy day - I can count on her to make it better. Thanks, Nann!

I love you!

What Would You Do?

You ever see something bad happening and turn the other cheek? Or wish you had done something to help another person - but you didn't? 

What would you do in this situation? 



I remember watching a boy get robbed in high school - by two boys I knew. I watched them struggle for quite some time before I walked out and told them to quit. The poor little Indian boy, even though he was shaken - managed to leave school with his wallet that day. Could you imagine what could have been in there? Rent money? A deposit for his family's small business? Five dollars? Life is crazy like that. How easily we can control someone else's destiny just by making a small effort. 

That European man made me want to cry. His concern was sincere. We do die every year from foolishness. Drunk driving, rape and murder - suicide. All we really need is that one person to look out for us, just one time - to make a difference. 

Who will you help today?

Airport Thuggin - FLL Style



So, I'm on my way to NY for the second time in a few weeks. I'm really hoping this trip goes better than the last, because man - there was just too much happening! There's no particular reason for this trip, just to see Him and the kiddies, but I'm looking forward to seeing my friends and hopefully getting some time in the City. Definitely growing weary of the runaround, that's for sure. Let's see what happens this trip.


NY, see you in a few hours. <3

88 Keys feat. Kanye West - "Stay Up (Viagra)"

"Her ass is African, but her eyes so Asian. Plus the waist in - time's a wastin'. Dissomegoodpussydawg, please don't waste it..." 


This song is old - but it's new to me every time I hear it. I bump it on my way to work, school - 88 Keys is hilarious. I had to share the video with you guys, cuz it came on the Zune while I was riding in the Civic this afternoon. Enjoy!








The song comes off the "Death of Adam" LP by 88-Keys - definitely a good download, nothing but bangers.

Fitness Queens: Andressa Soares AKA "Mulher Melancia"





Peep the previous post: "Biggest Booty in Brazil" - here...



I discovered her a few months ago, and did a blog post about her being Brazil's Biggest Booty. I never realized she was actually athletic. Well, that she even worked out. The previous video showed all the lengths she goes through to keep her body looking fit; cellulite machines, electrode plugs that did crunches for her. Brazil is known for plastic surgery and enhancements, so I really wasn't surprised. 

Then, a friend of mine - who's a big fitness enthusiast sent me this video:


And I was like - dayummmnnn!! Lol - I'm not superficial in the least bit, I just want to look good for myself. When I see stuff like this - it actually fuels me to see what more I can do to get/stay in shape. If she can do squats with hundreds of pounds on her shoulders, why can't I reach my goals? Why can't I get the abs I want, the butt I want - the arms I want? There's really no reason. So, I've learned a few new routines and I've been putting them into my  workout sessions - let's see how things go. I'm not as extreme as she is, nor do I get paid to shake my butt and walk around in thongs; so everything will be done without crazy newfangled machines. A good old gym, yoga mat and open road will have to do the trick. 

Let's see what happens. But in the meantime - why not watch her? Lol
