New Direction (And Then Some...)

So it's been a while since I've last blogged. I went on a temporary hiatus, but for good reasons. I'll try my best to start blogging more.

The direction of this blog has changed..
At first I wanted to blog about all things entertainment... after all, that's what I love.
Then... I thought about blogging about fashion AND entertainment.
Wasn't happy with that.

So for a while, I just sat and contemplated about what I really wanted to blog about... and honestly, I came up with this conclusion: WHATEVER. I. WANT!

And I'm starting tonight. With something short, sweet, and to the point.

I came across a photo today...  

of Kimora Lee and her new husband.
EOnline reported that she secretly got married (for the third time, no disrespect, but sheesh!) to businessman, Tim Leissner. 

And normally, I'm all for marriages and people being happy! But I instantly became somewhat a perfect mix of bitter and curious.

How in the world are people out here getting married 3 or more times, but yet...

I'm struggling to even come across a man who will buy me McDonald's WITHOUT complaining about it!

Now mind you, I'm in my early twenties, so marriage is not necessarily on my radar just yet, nor am I "on the prowl" hunting for a man... But really.

I'm from little ol' Indiana... the Hoosier state... where I'm almost convinced more than majority of the men here want to be rappers, party promoters, or would rather spend time bragging about the money they don't have on social media.

... Where men write extremely long Facebook statuses saying, "I want a girl who is college educated, independent, beautiful, long hair, has her own job/car/home, no kids, etc."
... Where the same men writing that status are the same men who have 10 or more kids (by at least 5 different women), no job/car/home, relying on others for money or favors, etc.

How. Annoying.

Woosah.

Had a moment there.

Now this post wasn't to bash men, because I'm sure there are decent men out there in Indiana... but I wish you would come out of hiding! There are a handful of ladies wanting to at least meet you!

Bringing Up Old News: Amber Rose and Kanye West

Hello Blabbies!

Amber Rose

We're pulling the stitches out of an old wound... 

That wound is the former relationship of Amber Rose and Kanye West. 

Now we all remember the couple when they first were an item. Walking around in their leather jeggings and Jordan's, holding hands and the infamous tongue kissing picture.

But... What has life been like for life after AmbYe? (Yes, I just made that up). 

After rolling around YouTube during breaktime, I came across an interview that Amber Rose did with famous blogger (one of my entertainment news faves) Necole Bitchie. This was uploaded in January 2012, and it kind of gave me a new perception of Amber. Not that I ever disliked her, but it made me like her a lot more than I did. 

Necole Bitchie & Amber Rose

Rose (who is now dating rapper, Wiz Khalifa - love them together by the way) brought up some interesting points that I felt should be shared. Rose claims that Kim Kardashian (his new girlfriend and baby's mother) is the reason their relationship ended. Though Rose shows no hard feelings (because she has clearly moved on), she mentioned something that I feel women, celebrities or not, need to hear. 

Kanye West and Amber Rose

Don't blame the other woman, when the man does you wrong.

PREACH IT AMBER!!! PREACH ON!!!

What satisfaction are you getting by blaming the other woman when your man was equally responsible for doing you wrong and cheating? There is none.

No explanation needed for that.

And Rose brought up another thing, forgiveness...

I forgave him. I moved on. I'm past all that.

You can spend your life being miserable and blaming everyone for a relationship that went sour, or you can pick yourself up, forgive the other party and keep it moving. Being the "bigger person" is something we all need to learn how to do. Not only in relationships, but in life... period.

And my last point, letting a man define you...

Kanye didn't make me, my mother & father made me. Kanye had other girlfriends before me, no one gave them the attention that I got because of ME, it's ME.

SAY THAT! A man should never be the reason you are relevant, or the reason you "exist" to others. Amber Rose was Amber Rose BEFORE she met Kanye. Though he may have given her more of a shove into the CENTER of the public eye, she was doing her thing before (I seen her in a few music videos before Kanye was even in the picture, officially).

I thought this interview basically gave Amber the chance to open up about the "behind the scenes" of the infamous Kanye and Amber relationship that we heard LITTLE of. We don't know what goes on when the cameras are off, or when the stage lights dim. Like Necole Bitchie said, what we see is the glamorous side of it all. All we see is front row at the fashion show, and hopping on and off private jets.

I hope my lady blabbies took something away from this post when it comes to relationships.
1) Putting the other woman on blast, hating her, blaming her when your man is EQUALLY responsible... does nothing.
2) Learn to let go of hard feelings, and forgive. I don't know what some of you have been through, but putting hate in your heart will eventually consume you, and eat you alive. Nothing wrong with forgiving... People let us down in life everyday, that is just the way it is.
3) Don't let anyone, a man in this case, define who you are. You were somebody before you met them, you'll be somebody after them. Period.

Thanks Amber!

TAYLOR SWIFT AND CONNOR KENNEDY CALL IT QUITS!

... And the story of Taylor & Connor looks a lot like a tragedy now!

Pop music sweetheart, Taylor Swift, and now ex-boyfriend, Connor Kennedy, have gone their separate ways. Swift and Kennedy, who were spotted being lovey dovey while vacationing together in Massachusetts, ended the relationship not too long ago.

According to People Magazine, sources from Kennedy's school (The Deerfield Academy), confirmed that friends of Kennedy "said it was over" between the two. Sources also indicate that Swift was the one who ended things.

WHAT A BUMMER!

People Magazine also reports Swift received the "stamp of approval" from Kennedy's grandmother, and us ladies know how big of a deal family approval is!

Sources told People Magazine in August that Swift was "swept off her feet"... 

Where could they have gone wrong?

Swift's schedule could have been the problem. Swift is very busy these days with preparing for her performance at the Country Music Awards, co-hosting the Grammy nomination concert, on top of announcing a tour for 2013.

She's also been busy with the promotion of her latest album, Red, which according to Swift's Facebook page has been doing quite well:

Swift shares gratitude & appreciation to her fans via Facebook
after hearing the good news about her album.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but does her status say Red sold 1.2 million albums in its first week?! Yeah, that's definitely UNREAL! WOW!

Looks like all that hard work is paying off... Even though Swift is back to being single, I'm sure she will be in a committed relationship with success for a while!
