Mia

Keyshia is so trashy. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
gemini83

Frankie is and will always be ghetto. It’s just her, but she does need to learn how to turn it off and on, but she look like she cool @ss he11 though. Keyshia looks pretty. She made a trashy looking outfit look classy. I think?
brwnsugga4you

i think frankie should start staying the h*ll home!
The Lucky 1

I just noticed Keyshia had her baby gap closed. She’s cute either way!

Keyshia is very beautiful but that outfit is too revealing!
Kymystry

I kept looking for the “stunning” outfit .. cause thats a mess … I’m with Mia … Just cause you Can .. don’t mean you Should …

Or as Naomi (my momma) says … What you willing to show .. You willing to share …

++++++++

I’m with you on this one Lovelylady. What I like about Keyshia is she is self made. The girl had a vision and she did what it took to make it. She may be trashy or ghetto to some but to me that’s what’s real about her. God knows if Frankie was my mother her ass would be in a closet somewhere.
MOCHAMOMMY

Ok i thought i was the only one who thought Keyshia looked like a stripper. That dress/outfit/whatever is just awful. Looks like Keyshia, that high school senior and Diamond are models for a stripper runway show….
h0tsauce

ooohhh it’s some HATERZZZ on here…..Keyshia Cole’s outfit is B A N G I N!! If my body was like that I would pull that off just 1 time!! She rarely shows off her body in this way..it’s not like she dresses like this all the time!!
prynsexxx

I like the outfit. It is appropriate for the function she is at the ppl that she is with. I would love to see her shoes. Her shoe and make-up game is usually on point.

Now Frankie…………her “high-waist” jeans scream Rainbow!
pointhimout

keyshia looks good. Frankie is a hot mess. lol. she is hilarious though. you never know what you gettin with her. i dont know her age, but she looks good. Where ole crying a s s sister Nefertiti?
bklynchick

KC outfit looked good until I saw that dam* disco ball in her hand. The dress fits her nice but she looks like she is getting ready to go on “Dancing with the Stars”. I like Frankie she reminds me of my aunt ghetto but keeps it real. I still love me some KC though!!
Mississippigirl08

She’s starting to remind me of Jada Pinkett.
I guess she did get her gap closed, cause it isn’t there anymore. But that smile of her’s right there, she looks like she could be Jada’s sister. On the realZ, and not just that picture, I’ve been noticing it alot recently.

And Frankie looks ok in that shot. The wig is a little too shiny for me.

Manny looks nice.

I’m in love with her outfit…she looks great! Frankie looks happily sober
dj_dceezy

what is the round thing Keyshia is holding in the one pic…? But real talk, Keyshia looks right in that fit to upper body part is bangin, but I think sh coulda wore tights or something similar… An outfit like that hi-lites the chesy keeping the legs more subtle woulda really jumped it off
Kymystry

Actually for ONCE Frakie is Dressed Age Appropriate .. no one is HATING .. I LOVE Keyshia … but TOOO many young girls try to emulate these young stars in the way they dress.. some say that she was dressed properly for the club she goes there with bodyguards .. but to the women who AREN’T celebrities who DON’T have bodyguards …who dress like that… who’s to stop them from getting fondled and dang near raped because of the message their dress is sending ? ? ?
bloggergirlz

interesting outfit…i’m at a lost for words…yeah, it’s revealing, but i’m stuck on the design itself…and the purse…oh gosh, the purse…

i want to see a pic of manny and his wife…sandra, you should ask freddyo if his wife was there…
LovelyLady

HATAS EVERYWHERE WE GO HATAS EVERYWHERE WE GO………….I MEAN COME ON SOME OF YALL SMDH……………SHE LOOKS TRASHY.SHE LOOKS THIS……….JUST BECAUSE U COULD DOESN’T MEAN U SHOULD…….GTFOH………..ONLY IF “U” COULD YES “u” WOULD………I THINK SHE LOOKS RATHER CUTE……..AND LIKE GEMINI83 SAID SHE MADE A TRASHY DRESS AS SOME OF YALL SAY LOOK CLASSY…..BUT ONLY IF IT WERE “U” GUESS WHAT IT WOULD STILL LOOK TRASHY

AND SOME OF YALL ARE SOO CHILDISH……..WHY SHE BRING FRANKIE……..WHY FRANKIE THIS………..HOE SIT DOWN…….WTF……..IF I WAS KEYSHIA I WOULD BE PROUD OF HOW MY MAMA TURNED HERSELF AROUND……..AND I AINT HIDING HER FROM NO ONE……….FRANKIE IS GROWN WITH GROWN KIDS…….THIS IS PROBABLY THE FIRST TIME SHE’S BEEN ABLE TO BE PROUD OF HERSELF………AND THE ONES SAYING SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE GOT IT FROM RAINBOW…………GIRLLLLLLLLLLL I KNOW U AINT ROCKING NO OUTFITS STR8 FROM BOUTIQUES GTHFOH. SHE HAS COME A LONG WAY AND MADE A TURN AROUND N IS HAPPY DAT;S ALL THAT MATTER

Keyshia looks really cute. Her dress is different. It’s revealing but not trash, kinda reminds me of something on dancing with the stars. lol
LovelyLady

kogletree

Dang LovelyLady… tell us how you REALLY feel.

Turn it down some will ya? They are just expressing their opinions.
teecee

candi got gushy

lol..i concur.
katgirl33

Keyshia outfit is RAW! People need to stop looking to celebrities to raise their kids and do it themselves….

What happened to: (From a mother to her daughter who wants to wear Keyshia Cole’s dress)
“Well, honey you are way too young to be dressing like that…Keyshia Cole is a grown woman, and you are not…when you become an adult and are able to understand what dressing like that as a non celebrity entails, you can make your own decisions on your wardrobe….you will be able to buy your own stuff, live in your own house, and work on your own job, when you get grown like Keyshia Cole”

If I had a teen daughter, this is what I would say when I TALKED to her…..further, if I caught my teen daughter dressed like this, she’d wish the thought never entered her mind.
prynsexxx

I love me some Beyonce, yes I do.

I bet if she rock’d something like that to a party, whether it be a b-day party or an album release, wouldn’t nobody say SH!T.

LovelyLady – it’s just a blog and some stated opinions. Nobody’s looking for an agreement, at least I’m not. It’s not that serious. Really boo.
Ms.IT

Well, I think the outfit is cute. The people that are complaining probably are the ones that can’t fit into something like it. Yes she is ghetto so what she is making it while we are online talking about her she still GETTING MONEY. The hood is where she was raised is she suppose to act like UNCLE TOM. Or try to be something she’s not. She came into the game and didn’t sugar coat anything. And Frank has came a long way PLEASE BLACK PEOPLE let her shine she’s not on drugs and in the streets. The reason black people are always down is because we bring each other down. And please raise your own kids TV can’t do the job.
NYCUTIE

I think people should skip over posts that are in all caps. I know I do

It was good to see Keyshia Cole and her mom out having a good time together on Mother’s Day. Even though their family has gone through some tough times, they have weathered the storm and came out a stronger, closer family. Frankie like so many other mothers is not perfect but at least Keyshia has a mother and that is somethibg to be grateful for.
MOCHAMOMMY

I’m convinced that Lovely Lady is Neffie… Its not that serious. Everyone is not gonna like ur sister. I have the body to wear that and I wouldnt. Just because when I did wear something revealing to a club, I was groped and fondled more than a stripper. Trust me, there is nothing cute about this dress for the “regular” woman
candycane

Keyshia is my girl, I really like her, LOVE her mamma but the dress still isnt cute to ME. It has nothing to do with Keyshia, it’s the dress. If I knew her in real life and she said Candycane how does this dress look to you, I said girrrrrrrrl NO! Why people gotta be haters because they dont like something?????????
candycane

Funny thing though, I like the disco ball purse

am I the only one who thinks there is something wrong with clubbing with your mother

@MOCHAMOMMY: i swear i was thinking the same thing…folks on here take stuff way to personal…it’s almost comical and ridiculous at the same time…i just wish whoever it is would kill the caps…to each it’s own though…

Damn thanks Ms.IT cause they coming from every angel of the board jumping from behind trash cans with poles and everything………..I might need to make sure I have my blade with me lol
MOCHAMOMMY

I (and “I” means I am speaking for myself) have never been to a club with my mother. There are some lines I choose not to cross. I dont need my mom giving me the eye when a guy buys me a drink or tellin me that I dont need to shake my ass like that. I’m sorry, but Karu & Y will never see me and my mom there together
prynsexxx

My mother is 71, the only club we going to is Usher Board meeting and getting our drank with the communion juice. Miss me.
estyle4039

Mochamommy, I am with you . . .Birthday Bash . .at a club/bar with my momma, ahhh no!
MOCHAMOMMY

LMFAO @ prynsexxx… U just earned urself a time out, young lady!!! My mom is only 44 and I dont think she needs to have her ass in nobody’s night club. A lounge? Yes. If I let her go to a club, she might try to bring me home a stepdaddy who’s 22 (younger than me!!) LOL
NYCUTIE

Lovely lady.. Now you are off your rage of “all caps” and being the lovely lady that you mean to be. You are good with me! I thought that if you were actually Neffe you damn sure wouldn’t spell that well :O
Enjoy your day
MzDetermined

Give Frankie her props for over coming her addictions she is blessed to have Keyshia as her daughter…Keyshia has a heart and came through for her mom even though her mom did not raise her I respect her for that. I think Keyshia looks real cute for some reason I think her and Manny got a thing for each other I know they denied it in all but, that is just my opinion.
GAGIRL73

I co-sign #45, what does Key’s up bringing, outfits,etc has to sending a negative message. There are t.v. shows, videos etc that is a negative force. There “some” homes and up bringing and alot of the street life that is a negative force in a child’s life everyday. All they do is walk out their front door and its right there. Or even stay in there home it’s there. Judge the one you see when you look into the mirror.
BLACKBARBIE404

KEYSHIA LOOKS GREAT. THE DRESS LOOKS TRINA-ISH.

@ MOCHAMOMMY: KARU & Y IS THE SHHHHH!!!!

LOL
Ms.IT

Well, now I see why you probably would go to the bar with your moma. I am 23 and my mother just turned 38. She doesn’t go to the club but she will go to a bar on a weekday when its not crowded. But my point was it was a BIRTHDAY celebration not a “WE BE CLUBBIN PARTY”
Ms.IT

Sorry WOULDN”T GO TO THE BAR WITH YOUR MOMA
LovelyLady

Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn this arguing ish is still going on lol……….Auntie Sandra you need to come in here and break this ish up lol
