AT LAST! Man Today was a great day..and I'm thankful to GOD that I was here to live through history. It is still sinking in for me that PRESIDENT BARACK is here and ready to make changes so that we can better our nation and grow as Americans. IT's like a dream come true..AT LAST! I can't help but wish and reflect on my great grandma, Dr. King, Malcolm X and those loved ones who are not here,that paved the way so we could be here today. Can you imagine if Tupac was still here what he would say?.."Yes NOW WE ARE READY TO HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT!" As Biggie once, said The "Sky is the Limit." As a young,ambitious, strong,intelligent African-American woman I can say Obama has truly encouraged and inspired me to dig deep within myself and by any means necessary GO GET MY DREAMS! I will be a famous writer and YOU WILL SEE MY NAME IN EBONY MAGAZINE!(You heard it here first and remember this blog!)
I already know God has instilled a great deal inside of me and he is ordering my steps to do what I was made to here on Earth. In fact, just Monday on MLK day I made some moves to start writing for a magazine on the music tip. I can't give you all the details right now, but I can say BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR STYLISTAKT because I'm making moves. Well, that is my testimony for today..(LOL YOU KNOW I HAVE TO GET IT IN FROM TIME TO TIME) Let's get the ball rolling...
AT LAST the highly anticipated FIRST Dance took place at the Neighborhood Ball..this was so beautiful it made me wanna cry. I can't wait to have my first dance one day..lol..anyhow take a look..
Beyonce Serenades the Obamas with "At Last" (Get it B!)
OBAMA MAKES MOVES
Well I guess if you watched the news today or took the time to read online newspapers, CHANGE is already coming to the White House. Obama issued new limits on lobbyists in his White House and a freeze on salaries of high-paid aides, in a effort to repair the country's economic turmoil (THANKS BUSH!. This will affect those with high-profile jobs as White House chief of staff, national security adviser and press secretary.
The rule of thumb will be as follows: (Taken from AJC) Obama's new lobbying rules will not only ban aides from trying to influence the administration when they leave his staff. Those already hired will be banned from working on matters they have previously lobbied on, or to approach agencies that they once targeted. The rules also ban lobbyists from giving gifts of any size to any member of his administration. Obama is showing us that in order to fix the problem you have START AT HOME..What are your thoughts on this? ( I'm ready to hear your feedback...)
KENNEDY IS GOOD!
I'm happy to see that Sen. Edward M. Kennedy is doing well after experiencing a seizure yesterday while at the Obama luncheon yesterday. Kennedy's office confirmed left the Washington Hospital Center, where he stayed overnight for observation, and was resting at home. Kennedy has been under treatment for a brain tumor since last spring according to AJC.com. ( I wish you a healthy and speedy recovery MR. Kennedy!)
A PASSION FOR FASHION...
Watch this interview with Michelle Obama's designer Jason Wu..one things for sure he will be rolling into more dough by handmaking the First Lady's gown..It was elegant and it reminded me of Jackie Kennedy's ensemble back in the day..what did you think?
MICHELLE'S STYLIST IS IN THE BIG LEAGUES..
Well word has that Michelle Obama's stylist Johnny Wright, (who is also a stylist for Vivica Fox,Rebecca Gayheart and "Sex & the City" writer Candace Bushnell) has landed himself a reality series through 44 Blue production company. It will be like a makeover type show. Can we say Split Ends?..that's what I'm thiking it will be more along the lines of. I just hope he can spin it to where it's something new and refreshing to watch..
IT'S OFFICIAL LIKE A WHISTLE..
Today was another big day for history as Hillary Clinton won her final approval for Secretary of State in 94 to 2 vote. It's so great to see a woman stepping up to take on this role and she has the credentials after serving 8 years on the Senate. Go Hillary! She will officially take up her new job as Secretary of State with a welcoming ceremony for her on Thursday at the State Department.
KIMORA BABY PHAT( RUMOR OR TRUTH!)
I knew it would only be a matter of time before 32 year old model/entrepreneur Kimora Lee Simmons and her famed 43 year old boyfriend Djimon Hounsou best known for his role in BLOOD DIAMONDS went half on a baby. I just wonder if the new addition, we call for a season three of The Fabolous Life of Kimora Lee Simmons? ( I'm crossing my fingers and hoping so) I can just imagine her two daughters by Simmons now..they will definitely be in full effect and trying to run things for the baby. My next thought, I know your all wondering is will she try to start a New Baby Phat line for newborns?! Only time will tell..stay on the lookout. All the best to Kimora and Djimon with the baby!

I just slept in and decided to catch me some dreams . So This Stellar Saturday..I'm ready to get up, get owt, and do something. I know there's some entertainment in town here for the Stella Awards, but without a ticket that really doesn't get me anywhere... then there's always the movies... I do want to see Notorious..and I was invited to a friend's surprise party...OR I could always just hit the road...at any rate TODAY is A STELLAR day and I encourage everybody to read my scoop today and then go do something out of the NORM ( I always try to think outside the box and try new things)
STELLAR AWARDS

BEYONCE DECIDES ON A SONG FOR OBAMAS
I heard today Beyonce spilled the beans and has decided to sing "AT LAST" for the neighborhood ball I mentioned in yesterday's blog. I must say B will do her thing on this song..because she delivered it strongly in her latest movie Cadilliac Records and at the Fashion Rocks show in 2008 click here.
JERMAINE DUPRI LEAVES DEF JAM
Jermaine Dupri is owt for good with Def Jam. In a recent Essence interview, Dupri said he was leaving because, "It was a situation where it felt very stagnant to me. As a person who is used to putting out new records and continuing to do that, it just wasn’t turning over as being that place to me where I should stick to it and see if it was going to turn around."
I think it may have had something to do with Janet. I mean what man is going to stand behind a company that talked down on his woman and let her go. Well whatever the real reason is, I wish Jermaine Dupri the best in all endeavors because he is definitely a hit maker and down to earth cat. I actually meet him last year at his new club Studio 72 during my Birthday Extravaganza.

Naomi Campbell shuts up her old housemaid
Naomi Campbell Okay so I know everyone knows about the foul mouthed and abusive leading model Naomi Campbell's troubles with her former housemaid. Well, they finally reached a settlement that allowed Naomi to walk away and but a smile on Gaby Gibson 's (former housemaid) face. Recall, this case was all brought on when Campbell reportedly beat her with a cell phone, verbal abused her, and accussed of her of stealing a pair of jeans. Wow! I mean come on how many pairs of jeans does Naomi have? She is a FOOL! Yes, I said it a fool for abusing someone over some jeans when she can simply just order another pair at the drop of a hat. I hope she learned her lesson this time and she stays away from her housemaids to come.
I HOPE EVERYONE HAS AN AMAZING SATURDAY!!! MAKE SURE YOU REMEMBER TO DO SOMETHING OUT OF THE BOX TODAY.. I'M GO LEAVE YOU WITH THIS NEW JOINT FROM JAMIE FOXX NEW ALBUM..IF YOU DON'T HAVE THIS ALBUM YOU SLEEPING FORREAL..GET ON IT!!! S-L-O-W! CLICK HERE.

This is my first time attempting to actually host my own personal blog and not being on the work clock. (lol) This vision was given to me when I heard a word from my Bishop Joseph Warren Walker III, " No Baggage No Limit! I'm thankful for the CONFIRMATION and BLESSINGS GOD HAS PUT INTO ME. I'm ready to let my bright light shine in 2009! As the late Ebony founder and personal inspiration John H. Johnson one said, "Failure is a word I don't accept." (I love that quote so much that it is my motto on life.)
Im ready to deal my own cards in 2009 and play my cards right. I will focus on the things that are interesting subject matters and feelings I have on entertainment, music, sports, FASHIONs, and any other areas that stimulate my brain.
