Isn't it stupid that you are only allowed to have fun if your 21 and older? Whenver I'm trying to go out to club or to hang out I always have to check if the place is 18+ or 21+. I'm only 19 and I won't be turing 21 till 2011. Sucks for me. I can never get into the all the hot clubs, bars and lounges. God forbid an artist or someone famous comes to a club in DC, they always make it 21+. I remember a couple of years back they had Bow Bow perform at Love when he was like 20, but Love wanted to be bitches and they turned the event to 21+. WTF? Most of Bow Bow's fans are under 21+.
Seriously? Why are so many clubs 21+ in DC when there are dozens of college students who are 18+? That's why I hate DC. There isn't shit to do around here unless you are rich or over 21. There aren't a lot of good hangout spots if you want to get away from campus. I don't see what the problem is. Wouldn't it make more sense to let more people in so that the club can make money and get the word out there?
Another thing that pisses me off about being under 21 is the US drinking laws. I don't see why Alcohol is so demonized in this country to the point you have to be 21 just to buy, drink, or sell it. I'm in charge of my own body, shouldn't I be able to put what I want in my body? I am responsbile for it. It's my body I can do what ever the hell I want to it.Why should others have the control to say what I should drink, what I should smoke? I think thats why there are so many drug addicts and drunks in the USA because there are so many laws prohibiting it and sanctioing it, when people get a hold of it they go overboard and overdose or lush out.
I still think the the drinking age should be lowered to 18. 18 is the age of consent; I can drive, vote, pay taxes, marry, get a credit card, buy a house or apartment, enlist in the military, but if I drink a beer I can get arrested. The ass-backwardness of America never ceases to amaze me. I see nothing wrong with drinking now and than. I think as long as you do everything in moderation it should be fine.
I'm hoping for weed to be legal as well. The U.S. is stupid for making Marijuana illegal. Do they realize that they can make a killing off legalizing and taxing weed? This could be the thing that can get us out the recession!

Volume 1, Issue 40, December 28, 2009: I'm In Love All Over Again
I found a new love and it's Ankara.
Ankara, formerly reffered to as Dutch Wax, is a plain weave fabric that can be found in West African nations such as Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Ghana, and Sengeal. Ankara is 100% cotton, strong, hydrophillic, and it absorbs moisture quickly and dries fast. Ankara is made out of a screen or wax printing process which gives it a smooth hand and luster. It can be handwashed or machine-washed.
I LOVE IT!!! I'm trying to get my hands on some of that Ankara to make me some nice dresses for the spring and summer.

Volume 1, Issue 38, December 26, 2009: Georgetown Fabric Haul
I'm feeling a little bit better today. I got some money for Christmas and I was so excited. Usually, when I get Christmas money I spend it on clothes but this year, I've decided to be more frugal and smart on my spending. Which is good because I'm going to need all of that extra cash to fund all of my upcoming projects and hustling schemes.
Today I went out to vent and shop and I ended up in Georgetown because I heard that there was a fabric store there. The fabrics store is called Exquiste Fabrics and the fabrics were indeed exquiste and painfully expensive. The store was kinda of small but they had extensive collection of fabric that included: imported fabrics from all over the world, couture fabrics from desingers such as Vera Wang, DKNY, Valentino, Gucci, there had a section of fabric that contained fabrics from previous seasons. But it was so expensive.
Imagine you see the most beautiful and softest cotton fabric that is seaform blue and lavender with orange koi fish, when you look at the price, which was $52.90 per yard to want to shank someone. I saw so many dream fabrics there, but many of them were way out of my price range.
Dream Fabric=$52.90 per yard
Budget=$150
Yardage need=3 1/2 yards
$52.90 x 3.5 yards= $185.15?! FML!!!
I didn't even add in the costs for notions. It sucks when your a student on a budget. You want to find the best looking fabric for your garments and projects but it's hard because the nice fabrics are always the most expensive and they break your budget.
Luckily, I found some nice fabric for one of my upcoming projects. The staff was very nice at the store and I walked out only spending $23.32.

Volume 1, Issue 37, December 25, 2009: I Lied To Myself I Do Want A Man
Merry Christmas Everyone! I hope you're having a good one because I'm having a very blue one. Even thought I'm surronded by my family, I still feel pensive and melancholy. I feel so bad that I just used some unnecessary SAT words.
I know I've said before that I don't want a boyfriend at all and I wanted to remain single and just fuck around. I was lying to myself. Deep down all this time I realized that I really want a boyfriend badly. Even though 90% of my past relationships were horrible and many of them traumatizing, there is nothing worse than being single. Being single is like being on a rollercoaster ride, with many ups and downs and eventually I barf at the end of the ride. Basically, I'm trying to enjoy but at the end I'm always unhappy.
Don't get me wrong there are some definate pluses to being a single woman:
1) Independance- You can go where ever you feel like, spend as much money as you want, its just basically all about you.
2) Girl Time-Having fun times with the girls this includes shopping, clubbing, and checking out the hotties. Its always great to have good friends around when you're feeling like a spinster at 19. Friends are always there when you are feeling like $2, they build you back up and make you feel like a $1,000,000 again.
3) Career/School- You'll get better grades in school, you might actually make the dean's list, you can focus on your career and all the long hours of sewing and getting yelled at from you boss. More money to spend on you.
4) No Strings Attached- You can stare any man up and down, have sex with anyone you please, go on numerous dates.
All of this sounds lovely but I tired to do the whole "I'm A Indepedance Woman Phase" but it just didn't work out for me. I thought I was a Samantha, but I'm a Charolette.
Ever since June of 2008 I've been a single woman. My ex was an abusive douchebag who made me feel like dog feces. Just imagine someone beating the snot out of you for innocently speaking to your clearly gay friend. Someone having access to your facebook because they don't want you to talk to guys online. Having someone call you a bitch, slut, whore, fat, or the n-word as a term of endearment. Being with him was one of the worst times of my life, it took a while for me to leave him. As soon as the bastard talked about marrying me and having children I told him to fuck off and I never looked back.
It felt so good to be free, I had started college and the future was bright for me.After maybe a couple months I started to get really lonely.I'm truly a serial monogamous, I'm used to being in one relationship after the next. This is the longest I've been single. I'm always used to having a guy there for me. Unforunately, I go to a university where the boy to girl ratio is every 7 girls to 3 guys, which equal a lot of lonely and horny bitches. Most of the guys at my school fall in 3 main categories: Taken, Gay, or Douche.
Taken-Has a girlfriend either on or off campus. Most likely will be really hot,nice, smart and talented. The good ones are always taken.
Gay: Might as well be considered a girl. There is no use for a woman trying to get with a straight guy.
Douche: Most of the male student body at my school. There are so many sub-categories of douche. The come in many manifestations. They can be basketball players, soccer players, preppy, lacrosse bros, club promoters, overtly religious, athesits, ghetto, the list goes on about the different types of dbags I run into and have fallen for at my school. Douches typically:
1) Want girls for only sex-A lot of the guys use the boy girl ratio as their playground. They basically have a choice of every type of female, black, white, asian, latina, big butt, blonde, big tits, red heads, goth chicks, so why commit to one? They want to tast all the colors of the rainbow.
2) The douche can also be taken and engage in activity number 1.
3) Play mind games with a girl by pretending that they actually like you or care for you and led you on to thinking that you are more than they see you as. They pretend to want a relationship, they say all the right things to get you liking them or loving them, But in the end, they only want to see you commit to the doggystyle position.
See? I can never win. I've tried meeting single men at school. I've tried talking with old guy friends from high school. I even tried meeting guys away from my school but it was just as bad. Same douche,different location and circumstances. Sometimes I feel like I've been cursed to never fall in love with someone or to never find my soulmate. I have to be the most unlucky person when it comes to men. Everytime I'm with a man, he always hurts me. Whether it's emotional or physical, I'm always the one with a broken heart in the end. What is wrong with me? Why can't a man ever love me and all 100% of me? All I've been is myself to these guys and they don't seem to like or love me for who I am. Why it that everytime I'm with a man all they want to do is try to break me apart and scatter around like a 1000 piece puzzle?
I know that I'm only 19 but I'm tired of waiting for that right person to come along when I need them and want them the most which is now.I miss having someone kiss my forehead, put their arms around me while I sleep, I miss hearing him breath and his heart beating. I miss that feeling of being in love and wanting to give everything and all for that special someone. I envy all of those lucky women with men around their arms. All the women who pride themselves and have a title wife, girlfriend, or fiancee. They have it so easy, they don't have to swim through a sea of losers and Dbags just to find someone to hold them, they have that special man on speed-dial, he is always ready and willing to do anything for her whether it's just buying her pads when she is on the rag, taking her to the place where they had their first kiss, reminding how beautiful she is everyday.

Volume 1, Issue 36, December 23, 2009: I Want Vera Bradley
I always wanted one of those cute Vera Bradely bags. They are kinda preppy but they are cute. They come in a whole specturm of hues and a wide array of tessallations and patterns. I've been trying to find a store that sells them, they are only sold at small boutiques and speciality stores. My best bet is buying offline or just ask around.

Volume 1, Issue 35, December 22, 2009: Oooo Baby Give It To Me Right!!!!
One day I was watching the VH1 Soul channel (or was it MTV Hits?) and I saw this video "Give It To Me Now" by Melanie Fiona and I feel in love with it. I'm posting up the remix verison, because I like it better than the original. Melanie is so beautiful and so underrated. I don't understand why this woman isn't a huge superstar. She not only has the looks and style but she has acutal talent. Her voice is very soulful and sensual. Way better than wack ass Mz. Russian Roulette aka Rhianna the Caribbean disgrace.

Volume 1, Issue 31, December 9, 2009: The Rotten Apple
As you know already, I'm a fashion major and one of the best places to work in fashion is NYC. NYC is my favorite U.S. city. It has everything I like, millions of hot single people, 24 hour public transportation, costal, and lots of things to do. I want to move there after school and work their. But lately I've been hearing a lot bad reviews about the big apple. Like it's very expensive, its hard to survive there, over-crowded, it's dirty, etc.
I still want to move there. I don't really care for that other fashion cities in LA and Miami.
LA=I'm sorry I just find the people there very fake.
Miami=Same as LA, and I wouldn't want hurricanes coming to me all the time.
I find LA and Miami boring. But I like the weather better in those areas than I do in NYC. But the plus side of LA and Miami the houses/apartments are better and less expensive than NYC.
Average NYC Rent for a 1 bedroom apartment=$2,700
Average DC Rent for a 1 bedroom apartment=$1,100
Average LA Rent for a 1 bedroom apartment=$1,700
Average Miami Renet for a 1 bedroom apartment=$800-1,000
Wow that blows. I would be spending most of my money on rent. :(
That's why I'm doing my research before I even move there. I would want to live in the city. I wouldn't want to have to live in Long Island or New Jersey. I prefer Manhattan, than Brooklyn, than the Bronx, than Queens, and than Stanen Island.
Places in Manhattan that I'm considering:
-Washington Heights: This area has the largest population of Dominicans outside of the Dominican Republic. Cool I can catch up with my Spanish and get a nice and cheap place.
-Harlem: One of America's oldest and most famous Black neighborhoods. Home to the Apollo Theater, 106 & Park, and the Harlem Globetroteers.
-Hamilton Heights-Close to Columbia

Volume 1, Issue 29, December 8, 2009: Since When Did Music Have A Race?
I don't think there is a genre of music I hate. If you look at all my Ipods, music lists, and Youtube playlists I have a bit of everything. Indian music? Check. Japanese music? Check. Metal? Check. Hip-hop? Check. If my ears like it and my souls feels it, its good music to me. I don't understand why people freak out or they are surprised when me a Black person is into other types of music besides Rap and R&B. For example, a friend of a friend was shocked when I was listening to a rock song.
Girl: "Oh my god, you listen to this?"
Me: " Yeah"
Girl: "I thought you only liked rap music."
Me: "No, acutally rap music is probably my least favorite. I don't listen to it that much."
Girl: "Wow, I would never expect that from you."
Another instance of this, I was at home playing one of my favorite songs "Headstrong" by Trapt.
My Brother: "What are you listening to?"
Me: "Headstrong by Trapt."
My Brother: "You listen to that cracker music. You need to hang around Black people and play some black people music. You're so White sometimes"
Me: "Do you realize that Black people invented Rock & Roll? I prefer to hang around a diverse group of people and play whatever music I feel like."
My Brother: HE GOT PWNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hah ha hah haha
Since when did the color of your skin determines what type of music that you listen to? I mean is there some law that prohibits Black people from listening to other types of music? No one ever judges White people for what they listen to. It's always a problem when you are Black and different. Even in the music industry. You barely see any Black rocker, punks, or goths in music. You either have to be a rapper(a bad one at that and only talk about stereotypical shit) or a R&B artist.I'm just tired of people always trying to put Black people in a box. No we don't all live in the ghetto or on welfare. No we don't always have children out of wedlock. No we don't always listen to Rap and R&B.

WWJD? Side hug you! I discovered this hilarious video today and I couldn’t keep a straight face through the whole thing. Apparently, hugging someone from the front is inappropriate now. This Christian youth group has found an alternative to these normal “sinful” hugs, “The Christian Side-Hug also known as the CSH. They are presenting this side hug fad with a hardcore gangsta rap song. Enjoy.

I'm @ home right now with the fam enjoying my thanksgiving day. I helped my mommy cook a little. I can't help but notice that Christmas came weeks earlier. There are so many fucking Christmas commericals and sales already. It's Christmas on steroids this year and poor Thanksgiving is being stomped all over.
Anyways, I need to get back to doing my blog everyday. I miss writing all of my thoughts out. I applied for a blogger job @ my school. hopefully I will get it. It's $10 per hour and all I have to do is go to all the events at my school and than blog about them. Maybe that's what I should do. Find a blogger job.

Volume 1, Issue 22, November 18, 2009: Makeover for 2010
I want to start the new year fresh. New clothes, new hair, new attittude. I can't wait for 2010. I want to give myself a makeover. Especially with my hair, I want to get a new wig thats longer and possible human hair. I think I'm done with weaves. Wigs are way better. I would rather take it on and off everyday than to have it sewn in for a couple of weeks. I would want something waist lenght, black wavy or straight. I remember seeing this wig at Beauty Island a while back and I tried it on and it looked hot on me. It was waist-lenght, black and the hair was really thick. It was synthetic hair, but it was special, it was some sort of microfiber material made from the wig hair and you could curl it or straighten it.
As far as clothes, I need to buy more Black pieces. I want to buy a nice pair of boots, some dresses, and some slacks and just stuff. I haven't been shopping in so long. I haven't been able to spend money on myself or spoil myself. I want to get my eye brow arched they are looking really bushy, I want them more catlike.

Volume 1, Issue 21. November 18, 2009: NO I DIDN'T DIE
I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I haven't blogged in a while I've been so busy with school. Its almost finals time and I'm trying to finish all of my final papers and projects. This semester has gone by so quickly, so much crazy stuff has happened and it feels like it was so long ago. Despite it all, I'm feelings so much happier and so much confident. Even though I'm broke, even though I'm jobless I feel like $100 million right now. I'm looking foward to the Thanksgiving this year not just for the food but to see my family and relax and actually get some sleep. The only thing that's bothering me now is that when I registered for classes my Survey of Fashion class is full. I would have to wait till someone drops. I might have to bribe someone with a pair of Jimmy Choos to drop the course.

Volume 1, Issue 19, November 1, 2009: The Halloween That Almost Wasn't
October 30, 2009
Well, I haven't posted anything for the last couple of days. I've been missing my blog, so here it goes. Well Friday was my friend Kelly's Bday. While I was making my stash for my costume( I didn't go as a present I ended up being "Miss Dominican Republic 2009, I'll explain later, sigh) I decided to make a card and the first thing that came to my mind was an envolope( i don't know, I have a weird thought process). I got some ppl to sign it for Kells and we suprised her @ midnight in the lounge. Check out the pic of me floating in mid-air at the surprise party.
So on that very day, I attened and particpared in Halloween Fest at my school. It's basically a event that my school does every year for some of the local children who are in less fortunate siuations. Each student organization has a table that has an activity for the children. They can range from bowling, puzzles, jewelry making, coloring, or even taking pictures. I enjoyed it I saw some interesting costumes and I ate a lot of food that day.
Later on that night, Kelly and some of my other friends decided to go to PF Changs for her b-day. I wanted to go but I'm a broke bitch. So me and my roomate( or former) Nastacia decided to go to a Frat Party at American University with some other chicks from our school.
The person leading this expedtion didn't even know where we were going. We walked from Tenleytown Station all the way to the house, which was way down Connetitcut Ave. We were also accompained by two Marines. One was dressed as the Shamwow Guy and the other was dressed as Bono. The Bono guy was hot, he is the reason why I like Marines.
So we get there eventually and when we walk inside the house, the overwhelimg smell of beer, cigarettes, weeds, and possibly cocaine fogged up my glasses immediately. So I took of my glasses because I couldn't see. This Frat house was overcroweded, beer keep dripping on me and the toliets were all flooded. So we left and some of the chicks that we were with we a little tipsy, Nastacia and I didn't touch anything. I was a proud graduate of DARE. We walked passed these two guys and one of them starts a convo with the girl and they ended up going to another Frat house. Me and Nas went home.
October 31, 2009
I woke up and still smelled like a Frat house I took a shower ate some breakfast and I decided to go the swim meet at my school. It was probably a big mistake on my part, I got my feelings hurt( it's why I didn't dress as a present, I'll explain later : ( ! )
After the swim meet I just went off did some work than I ate some dinner and a couple of my friends went out to G-town to watch Zombieland and to look at some of the crazy costumes.
This is all I'm going to say now about this. Even though I had a wonderful night the thing that I said that I was going to explain later keeps bothering me and it made me cry a little.

Volume 1, Issue 18, October 28, 2009: *Exclusive Pics* From My Textiles Project
Ok, so I'm staring on my Textiles project right now. I have to nip this in the butt before I start to forget about it and than rush to do it last minute. Since I don't want another crappy looking project I decided to put 100% effort into this. Basically my professor wants us to find 10 outfits photograph them, write down their tag information and say what season this clothing is for. It doesn't seem that bad to me. I actually like this assignment because it involves camera-whoring and that's what I'm all about. I started to take some pics of my clothes. I'll put up some more later.

Volume 1, Issue 16, October 25, 2009: Lebanese Fashion Show
Last night I went to the Lebanese Fashion Show with Marymount University. I volunteered as a dresser and I was really excited because one of my good friends was with me, Kelly(yay woot!). The designer featured in the show was Tony Ward; he's a Lebanese designer who worked with Karl Largerfielld, Dior, and countless celebs. His gowns are to die for. Literally, I would kill for one of his dresses.It was Haute Coture, meaning if something goes wrong with one of the garments it could put you in debt. These dresses cost between $10,000-$70,000! I saw the dress of my dreams there. It was a smoky baby blue with floral embroided lace. It's so hard for me to describe it, thank god my friend took pics of the show. I would wear it as a wedding dress, it was divine.

Volume 1, Issue 15, October 20, 2009: I've Got A New Crush
I'm blushing right now. It's this really hot guy in one of my classes and I have a little crush on him. Everytime I see him i just crack a smile. I"m currently stalking his FB page. In over at least 90% of his pages he is shirtless and I'm slightly aroused. MMMMMMMMM, his new nickname is smexy. But I think he's on to me. I know real smart, having a blog that he can look at anyway. Sometimes we talk and he stares at me a lot and he's becoming a lot more open with me.But whatever, I don't care if he knows I like him....He's single that's all that counts.
Volume 1, Issue 14, October 22, 2009: Models and Bottles!
Tuesday night I dressed some yummy male models at a fashion show. They were all hot, in different flavors of hotness. One guy was a hot cup of sexual African chocolate. One had that im-so-hot but I'm mysetrious look, he had curly dark hair and smodering eyes. One of the guys was Middle Eastern and he looked like he was going to take me on a magic carpet ride. My model looked kinda liked Chace Crawford aka Nate from Gossip Girl, mmmmmmmmmmmm, so fine. This fashion show reminded me of why I'm in school, for the love of fashion. It also made me so happy to see all the hotties, who were not only attractive but smart and funny. Oh yeah, and there was this one drunk model who was a FAIL.

Volume 1, Issue 12, October 18, 2009: I Hate You And Your Boyfriend
Am I the only one who is annoyed with all of this shitty "I LOVE MY BOYFRIEND" merchandise? It's ridiculous. We get it bitch, you love you boyfriend. Will you stop making lame t-shirts and crappy buttons professing your love to him? I also hate shirts that say "Wifey", the name of your boyfriend or girlfriend, and I hate it when couples do monthivessaries. Are you fucking kidding me? Months are nothing, it's years that count. 3 months is nothing to celebrate.I find it blantly superfical and slighty egotistical that people, especially the ones my age, boast of their one-dimensional relationships throught shitty shirts and monthivessaries. It bothers me because people make it seem like if you are not in a relationship than there is something wrong. Especially if you are a woman! People ask me all the time "you such a beautiful and smart woman, why don't you have a boyfriend?" Because I don't want one. Relationships lead to nothing but pain, heartbreak, and regrets. Trust me, I've been there and done that. I'm not saying that I don't like them, I don't want one now. I've been in relationships all through my high school years and im done for now. I'm tired of all the bullshit men say, do, and think, I'm tired of cheating bastards, I'm tired of liars, I'm tired of abusive assholes. I'm single and the only thing I want a man around for is to fuck or be friends. I just can't deal with that boyfriend/girlfriend shit. At least until I'm trying to get married.

Volume 1, Issue 11 October 17, 2009: Paranormal Activity Is The Comdey Of The Year
I believe this film should be at least nominated in the Best Comedy Category for the Oscars. This "horror" film was a mockumentry sort of like the Blair Witch Project, but funnier. The two main characters, Micah and Katie can go down in history as the funniest horror film charcters. The story is about a young couple who move into their first home in San Diego(oh yeah, their crib is S-W-E-E-T) and they are experiencing hauntings and they are filming the hauntings as the film progresses. Yeah it had its creepy moments but it failed to live up to the hype. I'll give it two shits down.

Volume 1, Issue 10 October 15, 2009: My New Love
Over the past couple of months I noticed a change in me. I have fallen head over-heels in love. I get this crazy warm feeling inside. I'm in love with scarves. I can't get enough of them. I've been buying a lot of them lately, not only due to the increasing cold weather but just for the hell of it. You can never really go wrong with a scarf. Scarves can be worn in a infinity of ways: on you head, as a head bow, as a necktie, bundled up tight, loose and flowy or as a shawl even. To me nothing looks more chic than an all black outfit with a brightly colored scarf.
