On Thursday night, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle will hold the long-anticipated Grand Opening for her Tiny’s Nail Bar salon. It will be a night to remember as Tiny, her family and celebrity friends celebrate her first solo business venture.
As I told you previously, Tiny’s man T.I. is so excited about this new venture and he is anxious for the shop to open.
We are grateful to Tiny’s camp for extending Sandrarose.com special invites for 3 of my lucky readers and their guests! I will be there as well to greet my readers and BET will be filming for an upcoming episode of The Tiny & Toya Show.
So make sure you come camera ready!
All you have to do to qualify for the invites is say something nice. We’ve done this before so you know how it works. Some of you need not bother to participate in this thread. I’ve been taking names and keeping notes, so don’t try and change up now.
See, it always pays to be nice!
Good luck to whoever wins! Sounds fun.
This should be fun ! Well Im in DC not ATL but Im happy for her hope all goes smoothly with it…
Now Im ready for all the brown nosin to begin…. lmao
I dont live anywhere near ATL. so i dont think i care. This should be interesting though.
can’t wait to hear how nice it was on friday…
Yaay for Tiny!!!
Well I don’t live in ATL, so I don’t have to be nice.
TIny, you know I have love for you, I really do. But you need to come better than this. This invite is…not right.
That was the nicest I could be, Sandra!
@Yolanda77, it does sound fun. Laughing at Sandra for saying T. I. is excited about the new venture.
As I told you previously, Tiny’s man T.I. is so excited about this new venture and he is anxious for the shop to open.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
tell the truth and shame the devil.
Hey, Auntie, even though I rep the A,I live in Philly so I do not qualify, but I hope u guys have fun and please people you will be on TV dress accordingly. lol
Well I guess I won’t qualify…so good luck to whoever wins…
This is nice of her to do… cant wait to see the pics
ontaya where in philly?
<————philly here also
I’m in New York but I’m all for entrepreneurship.
Sounds nice….I hope things work out for her shop!
I’m glad she is really about to do this! Hope whoever wins has fun…
Has anyone ever had that ‘minx’ nail process done? How’d it do for you? I have a baby in diapers and work in a hospital – my hands stay in soap and water and it probably won’t work for me.
I’m In Miami, so being extra nice won’t help me none… Wishing her best of luck and continued success!!!!!!!
I really do wish the sister the best in this endeavor. You have to live life every day as if it is your last.
I’ve been taking names and keeping notes, so don’t try and change up now
————————————-
wait a minute. i missed this…
write it down. take a pikk-cha. i am what i am
from a desgin standpoint i do not like the fonts on this invite.
tiny tameka on the other hand has grown on me and she aiiiight. i always liked her music and wish her the best in this endeavor. there…NICE.
@Read my god-sister was telling me about that, some guy did it for her here in Miami, they say it suppose to last longer….
How sad to have to bribe people to say something nice.
I hope your shop stays open once TI comes home. I see Sandra tried to throw in there that he is rooting for you but that show spoke a different story. & considering that a certain someone made it known that once he went to jail you were able to pay off your parents home…. I’ll wait and see. Good luck
Was that nice?
I live out of state and besides I’m just getting over the Cottle Flu.
Some of you need not bother to participate in this thread. I’ve been taking names and keeping notes, so don’t try and change up now.

I don’t think anyone has responded in hopes of winning anyway.
I wish Tiny the best of luck in her new venture!
im in jville but will travel for this:
im so proud that Tiny is finally moving along in her endeavors and becoming the entreperneur (sp) that God has destined her to be. She started out in the industry as a singer and now is on her way to becoming a successful buisness owner, all the while juggling being a mother and supportive mate to Legendary Rapper T.I while he is away
i hope and pray that her buisness excells far beyond major so that she may know just how great she can be as an independent woman. she is an inspiration to others as well as myself. (even if i dont win.. i meant all of this) (but it would be good to win2) thank you
See, it always pays to be nice
——————–
lol, look who is talking..
lol @ u keeping Santa’s naughty & nice list. This should be fun and kudo’s to Tiny. Too bad I don’t live in the ATL (WELL HONESTLY I AM GLAD). But nonetheless this will be an awesome event.
This should be a nice event..I wish her luck and much success.
@ Peachizz : Can you find out where she got it done and for how much please? Im tryin to get minx nails for my b-day!
Good Luck Tiny!! Out here in CA many of our locally owned businesses are shutting down (as I’m sure is the case throughout the country). The only thing thriving is Wally World. Tough economic times and I hope Tiny does well!!
Good Luck to the winners, too!
I’m Denied, Not Qualified & Unaccepted, etc.,
kwall Says:

Good luck ATL Family!
Say something nice dang it, so y’all can kick it with Tiny and them……LOL
My membership has been DENIED!!
I wish tiny much success and prosperity as she begins this new journey. I have always like Tiny,and have always supported her, the show, and Ti’s relationship. I watch the show, and I think she is a great friend, mother, and companion to Ti.
I hope that this endeavor is successful, and I think it shows that she is a strong, and ambitious woman. She could be sitting at home doing nothing, but she choose to do the opposite. I love the way she talk, and I love how she doesn’t care what anyone thinks, period.
just a question.. how is it private if it’s at the nail salon? DOn’t folks already know where it is?
Good luck anyway Tiny!
i already know where its at can i just go
@krysi- I don’t think anyone has responded in hopes of winning anyway.
________________________________________________
LMAO say something nice to be able to go? Um, does anyone even want to go? I don’t think so. lol
@pyt305
Sorry my bad, it’s actually in Miramar.. his name is Joe 954-894-4490… I think he has two daughters, (don’t go to Joeline* at all, she’s horrible)

I agree…….But I can’t figure out what they were going for…with the “Tiny’s Nail Bar” looking like that and the rest in cursive…..
@Missmiami-I haven’t really said nothing bad about Tiny but I haven’t said anything good either……..
* how is it private if it’s at the nail salon? DOn’t folks already know where it is?
* The only thing thriving is Wally World
———————————
yes b/c it was pure on the show….BUT maybe they have decided to move it inside of a local wal-mart. i know our walmart’s have nail places on the inside…
Congrats to Ms. Tiny!! Wishing her the best, we need some black nail salon entrepreneurs here in the Bay (the Asians have taken over)! I’m in need of a mani-pedi so Mimi @Beauty nails will just have to do. But….if you want to fly me in, I’ll be off work this Friday, my birthday is Saturday and I don’t have to return to work until Tuesday. Hint, hint. just kidding, no I’m not, yes I am :lolol:
*watches “Tiny and Toya Tryna Tawk” video*
SAY SOMETHING NICE CHALLENGE:
that was a FUNNY AZZ video!

me too. i wonder if they’re gonna have hot wings?
@Peachizz
That puppy is the cutest thing ever. Is it a Yorkie?
I have a Yorkie. She’s just as cute!
It sounds like fun to me. But I don’t remember T.I. being happy about her opening up shop.
Sandra, have u ever heard of the term conflict of interest. We are sick and tired of u promoting these ingnorant, hoodrat baby mommas and their criminal baby daddies. Dam, I guess next you’re going to be promoting Neffe and her drug addict momma
Awwww so glad to hear TI is supporting this venture. Best of luck to Tiny and Tip!
Maybe that’s the secret location! LOL!!!
@ Peachizz : Thanks!!!

I love the way she talk, and I ……………………….
———————————————-
I believed ur post until this part!!!!! LMAO but good try!
well I am glad that she decided to open up and I believe that Tiny is her own woman making her own decisions while being considerate of her man’s feelings,desires, and needs. Alot of women don’t do that. Kudos to her! I can’t stantd that people act like TI made her. In the reality of things she made TI. LOL -didn’t he record his first album in her studio of her huge home that she owned before TI was TI!
Next time I’m In the A iwill check it out and help support her….she deserves it. But I’m a city girl through and through so I won’t b attending the opening…I wish her success tho
rjk8, we’ve already decided we were going to read a book when the Fantasia show starts to air. Join the bandwagon
No pun intended with Fantasia and reading and all…
@rjk8
tell us how u really feel son!
Congrats to Tiny. I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a black owned nail salon. I don’t know how it is in ATL, but the Koreans run it up here in the Chi.
Y’all are gonna cause Tiny go on Twitter and talk to her twitter fam. about how SR folks ain’t never have nothing good to say or wish people well………. :lolol:
But

That was so NOT nice but funny as HAIL nonetheless.
@ BayArea:
YAY!! An early HAPPY B-DAY TO YOU! The 12th is mine, too. But I have to work all weekend.

I am so proud of Tiny for doing her own thing and showing that she is not just a Baby Momma! Congatulations!!!
I hoped to be there to partake in the festivities. As I have supported you for years!!
well i’m in virginia but good luck to tiny and her business ventures and congrats to whomever win!
Y’all are gonna cause Tiny go on Twitter and talk to her twitter fam. about how SR folks ain’t never have nothing good to say or wish people well……….

REALLY?
@Nicole
Im in Bronzeville we have some black owned nail shops down here…
@Hermosa
:o),Yes that my Yorkie, “Mama’s Boy Jake”
I can only be so nice since I do not know either individual. It is nice that Tiny is taking a stand to be her own business and not live off of her man. I only watched one episode of her show and she portrays herself as a great friend and strong family women. I hope she can keep doing her when her man comes home because at the end of the day we need more POSITIVE black women. Girls these days need to see women doing things for themselves and not just going to the bank/shopping cause they have a man with money. Im glad she used her money wisely and did something for the community, (I love getting my nails done BUT I can not find a good black owned salon anywhere)hopefully this shop opening will provide jobs for recent or previous nail school graduates.
@kwall-Yea she went off on twitter the other day about the post Sandra posted about how T.I spoils tiny…….and she went off about how we judging her and don’t know her…….yadda..yadda
Missy, she is highly inaccurate – she should log on to SR more often and she’d know. There are just as many nice people as there are meanies.
LMAO @ the comments! Ya’ll suppossed to be nice remember lol
I would like to wish Tiny the best and I hope her new business venture is successful beyound it’s 1st few years. I’ve always been an Excape fan, threw a lil shade when I found out she was with TI. But watching the show on BET shed light on who she really is and seems like a very sweet and genuine person. I applaud TI for keeping it real and stay where he know the love is real regardless of the groupies. So I wish much success to their union and her new bussiness.
When will a contest come up regarding some of the male industry folk?
I am so proud of Clifford for letting Tiny out of the house. We mothers need the break for real. Keep your head up, Clifford. You will be home soon.
You guys are hilarious when it comes to posting some comments, I commented cause I actually really want to meet Sandra, and I want to see Tiny’s shop. I try to be positive and not say mean things cause Im under the impression now that my life/way of living/auroa(sp?) all reflect off of what I do. Im ready for a change so Im going to try to see the good…Some of you guys say what Im really feeling sometimes anyways. And Im sensitive and damn sure can’t take some of the negativity that goes on when comments are misunderstood
@peachizz
he is adorable…I jus changed my avi to my dog too. Her name is Layla.
Too much cuteness. lol
@Chgoprime
@Nicole
Black shops are far in between her in the Chi but I found out why there are so many Asian nail shops etc…. I was shocked.
How come Tiny wont log-in? she cant find her password….? Monica log-in before and chatted with us, that was cool of her to do…
Yea she went off on twitter the other day about the post Sandra posted about how T.I spoils tiny…….and she went off about how we judging her and don’t know her…….yadda..yadda
——————————–
shut up…i am going to go look. i coulda SWORN that divine said she was even jealous and i don’t know if i commented or not. i am going to go read…smdh…
@lovinme…I do like the way she talk… I can’t stand to hear toya… people have different likes…I love to hear her talk, it’s country and something else…. I can’t stand to her toya’s new orleans talk…. I been rooting for tiny..
I hope your shop stays open once TI comes home. I see Sandra tried to throw in there that he is rooting for you but that show spoke a different story. & considering that a certain someone made it known that once he went to jail you were able to pay off your parents home….
————————————————
Wow I guess I missed that memo
I thought she said on the show he didnt want her to work when they were ‘hypothetically” speaking
Correct me if I’m wrong but didnt she say “Say you have a man that gives you everything that you could want and he doesn’t want you to work” or something similar to that.
Or was she just talkin about singing since she’d be on tour away from home
If he really loved her wouldnt he want to encourage her to do something she loves such as singing instead of discouraging her. I still wish her much success in her venture
I will PASS for tickets to an event that TI will be attending once he is released please and thank you
@windycitychic
Girl wasn’t that disturbing? That’s why even though Black nail shops charge more, I’m willing to pay. They (Koreans)have completely blacklisted us from the nail shop, beauty supply industry…
Sandra Rose Says: See, it always pays to be nice!
____________________________________________________________
Or you can simply PAY and continue to voice your opinion freely. Give me a BREAK!
Congratulations Tiny on all of you achievements!
Unfortunately, of course I don’t qualify being overseas right now in Germany. But when I’m in the ATL visiting my family I will sure enough hit up your shop to get my nails done. Goodluck to the winner. Stay Blessed everyone!
Something nice.
If Tiny brings baby Major count me in!
That boy is a cutie! And looks just like TIP when he was that age.
Hey Sandra can you post the pics of Major and his Aunt Precious?
I meant on all of your achievements..lol! Thinking and typing too fast..peace!

what a brown nose..lol…you’ll suppose to be nice to her…i’m just glade she decide to open it up after 2years of paying mortgage.
@iyonah i agree
@toosexy
Really ok my bad I cant stand it but Toya’s dont bother me. Tiny voice is what gets me… Toya just got that New Orleans Accent….
But I gotcha….
I would love to have a black nail salon close to me here in OKC but so far the black women that have done my nails did a poor job and the one that did an excellent job barely came to work and then just up and quit
I like that tinys all about family

Oh hell yea
Brownsugapoet – you’d be surprised. A man can say he loves you, and spoil you but deep down inside, be just as jealous
. I believe it’s called co-dependency. He’s afraid you won’t need him to support you so he inadvertently keep shis foot on your neck.
BROWNSUGAPOET – I’m in OKC too :wave:
CONGRATS to Tiny on finally opening up the nail shop, I have driven past it for a while now and I was wondering when it would open up; all that was there for a while was a picture of TI in the window…but Congrats again on a black female owning her own business, much success
Hi Sandra, My honest comment is that I think it’s great for Tiny to find her own place in business…after hearing all the negative press concerning Tip not wanting her to do her own thing, it’s refreshing that she is able to do it…I wish her the best, she is a sweet girl.
that’s really is nice of tiny to offer sr readers a seat. now i’m waaaay in louisiana and couldn’t come if i wanted to but i’ll still say something nice anyway, this is good for tiny. i hope the shop is successful and if i’m ever in the “A” i’ll come by and get my nails did!
Sandra,
I’m not sucking up or brown nosing…this is the truth:
Thanks for opening up registration and letting us have a chance to be a part of things like this. I am a proud member of this blog and I am glad to finally be a part of the community.
I always loved Kandi and Tiny and am so proud of their accomplishments.
Tiny will do an extraordinary job with this nail salon. Not because she has the money to do it. But because she is doing what she loves.
WHy would she have a pic of TI why not her it is her salon right?
Guess thats irrelevant…..
I hope she dont let it slip or fall under when TI come home….
I hope this does well, Lord knows Im not sure what they do anyway.
CHRIS BROWN CD DROPS TODAY YALL!!
lets Go in on their azzez…all the real fans that iz!
SR,now will someone be selected for real this time? Remember the toya party and someone was to be selected? There was something else from last week I believe 2 lucky readers would get tickets to something? im just saying.
good luck to Tiny on this business venture.
@krysi
Ive been on it I had my copies pre-ordered! hahahaha listening now to cb cd it goes HARD!
Awwww Leesa. You got my vote!!! (Shhhh!! come here let me whisper something in your ear) Great move…including Sandra! You are shoo win!!
Tiny,
May God bless you in your new business venture. I am sure that it will be a success! Continue to let your light shine and do positive things that make yourself and your family proud as that is all that matters!
Definition of a Diva: an exceptional woman, who rises above the sitution or confrontation. She is idependent but knows her role as a woman. Her life is a testimony of her faith…….How many of us actually fit the description

I thought BlackBarbie won?
Imma cop Chris’ cd. I hope he does well on his first week.
@Krysi
Yea blackbarbie went……only her though
IT SOUNDS GREAT, I WISH TINY ALL THE BEST WITH HER NEW BUSINESS VENTURE. I HOPE THAT THE BUSINESS PROPERS AND IS OPEN FOR A REALLY LONG TIME. I THINK THAT THIS IS A GOOD THING FOR TINY BECAUSE SHE IS ALWAYS SO BUSY WITH TAKING CARE OF THE KIDS AND TRYING TO GET THE GIRL GROUPS OFF THE GROUND. IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT SHE DOES SOMETHING FOR HERSELF, AND PUT ENERGY INTO DOING SOMETHING THAT SHE CAN BE PROUND OF. TIP WAS ALWAYS THE ONE GOING OUT AND MAKING THAT MONEY AND NOW SHE KNOWS HOW THAT FEELS AGAIN. ITS ALWAYS GOOD FOR A SISTA TO HAVE HER OWN ACHEIVEMENTS AND TO BE INDEPENDENT. GOOD LUCK TINY
Anyway, I know I am part of the minority here, but I really like Tiny. Her show really reflected her in a positive light, as a good friend, mother, and companion to TI. Plus I’ve always been a fan of Xscape. If I lived in the A I would love to attend but since I don’t congrats to the winners have fun!!!
How I wish I was in ATL right now.
man i went back and read that other post that she talked about on twitter…and while YES there are some crabs in a barrel on here…they are everywhere. i am guilty of crabbing at times… AGAIN…i am what i am.
i said it on here about chris brown and i am gonna say it to anybody reading who feels as if the srose fam talks about folks for the spirit and sake of being mean….(in my kwall granddaddy voice..)
“they talked about Jesus TOO baby.”
serve your wangs, at the secret location on thursday, and Godspeed. you are doing things hun, so to hail with folks…here AND on other blogs…cause really…i have read other blogs and folks are much more harsh on you other places imo…
and that right there @116 was not something nice, something mean but something REAL.
I’m sure there will be a great turnout. I liked the design of the place, and if they have a liquor license too, this place has great potential to be a success, long after the novelty wears off.
Don’t qualify but I wish Tiny success with her nail salon.
This this all lovely, but I’m ready for a
@kwall-That is what I said why worry about us……..if your relationship straight the heck with us…………but yes I have read other blogs and they have said worse things about her than us……….
Can we get a
please
CNN is reporting that it was Elin’s mom being rushed to the hospital.
Now back to our regular scheduled azz kissing…
@ Ms.kaylamomma
Yeah I heard that too, for a heart attack they say
i went to read tiny’s twitter and i didn’t realize these (ATL) celebrities actually read sandra rose like that! and they care! having nervous breakdowns and stuff. since we are in a position to affect the mental health and well-being of (ATL) celebrities, we need to cool it.
for the record, i do have a better understanding of tiny and her love for TI since watching the show. i don’t really do the nail thing but i’ll definitely support the salon when it’s time for my “summer feet”.
@ Ms.kaylamomma
Yeah I heard that……so that must mean that the rumors about Elin moving out aren’t true because why would her mom be there without her……..
Oh… and Hi to Tiny. I know you’re reading this. Love ya!
<——————— Tell Clifford hi for me.
I’m in the Chi so this post doesn’t really apply to me.
I will say that I’ve always liked Tiny being an Xscape fan and although I wish she’d take her womanhood back from T.I, I wish her the best of luck with her salon. GET MONEY!!
Congratulations Tiny I live in Stn Mtn but will travel to your shop just to get my nails done by a black person. I believe we must support our own in order for us to get anywhere. It truly amazes me all the haters can comment on your relationship when they look from the outside but you and only you know what your man or how your man treats you. It’s not one lady on this site that would not want to be in your shoes and if there man said they didn’t have to work for anything wouldn’t sit on their azz and let him take care of them. Again, good luck on your endeavor and I don’t care about winning no tickets I will visit your shop anyway.
Makes since to me @ Missy. Maybe she moved in the guest house. You know how those bi-gillion-aires have guest houses with 10 bedrooms and just as many bathrooms.
I can’t attend as I am in Virginia. However, I will say CONGRATULATIONS to Tiny! You are now a black business entrepreneur. And, that in itself is a major accomplishment. Kudos!
LOL @ the above comments…sucks to be me cause I’m not in the A to be competing for a spot @ the grand opening. Aniwho! Tiny congrats & much success in your new venture!
Missy
@ the new gravi!
I don’t want to be in Tiny’s shoes……only person I want to be is me…..Tiny is not living the life I want.
…
@Ms.kaylamomma-She probably is staying in the guest house…….but i still hope she leaves Tiger..
@tryna- Thanks…But your gravi…..kills me everytime I look at it……. :lolol:
Any way since we can’t get a new post…..Y’all ready for BGC….tonight
(In my jay leno chin/Natalie voice)”I run L.A”
Okay damn my comments will get lost in all these comments
!!!!
Congrats on finally opening up your salon. Wish you much success. Hope you break even and make major paper!!!
Now for all the ladies talking about Minx Nalis….definitely worth it.
The chick that started it has a salon here in Houston…found it on FB, went got them done and lasted for over 4 weeks on my hands for less than $50.00.
Check them out…they are defintiely worth it. Next time I will take pictures. I was just trying to see what all the hype was about!!!
LOL..you guys r funny…I’d go but I am in VA….
On the topic of minx nails….I am gonna get them done for my b-day in two weeks…..
I’ll stick to my koreans on the AVE…. but yay for black business.
omg the invitation looks HORRIBLE..that being said from a graphic artist point of view..
I would love to join Tiny & friends to celebrate the opening of her salon!!! As I am very excited to see an african american accomplish such a task. I will be supporting her business as it is very hard to find aa people in this particular business. Best of luck.
I am all for black owned businesses. I want to own my own nail salon one day but the products will be organic. I just don’t know where to start considering the Asians have taken over. I wish alot of success for Tiny she deserves it. Hopefully her nail salon will out do the Asians. I never could find a right nail salon that can get everything right. On her show she seemed like a really nice person that is all for family. My heart went out to her because of her father with alzheimer’s. My grandmother has it and I know how difficult things can be.
I’ll pass on the niceties.
Kudos to Tiny for continuing to do her…..
Sandra Erma Jean Rose….
I busted up when I read don’t try to change up now. DAMN, THAT WAS FUNNY. I bet you feel like the teacher that got stuck with detention or in school suspension.
@142 that’s winning comment for sure……
@ Missy, yep Ima watch Jay Leno’s Chin Twin, wit her ignant a$$! :lolol:
@trynabeme, I really have a hard time getting my nails done at one of the local on the corner shops!! They play like they can’t speak english & charge for every lil thing, set your prices and keep it pimping. I’m very excited about her business as I support all b/o businesses. Love to get my nails done. How you doin?
Oh ok, good for her.
If this was an engagement party, I would be more excited for her.
I like Tiny and I wish her the best with her business venture. It’s good seeing black women doing their thing on the entrepreneurial tip.
Ah, hell. It’s ma birthday……
trynabeme Says:
@ Missy, yep Ima watch Jay Leno’s Chin Twin, wit her ignant a$$!
I can’t wait for tonight’s episode, knowing she gonna piss me off with her antics. 
—————————————————–
On topic, Congrats Tiny. I wish you much success. I’m in Jersey, and would not be able to attend, if I was invited, but I really do wish you much success. I myself would like to start a few of my own businesses.
Good Luck.
I am happy that Tiny has an opportunity to own her business. It should keep her close to her children and parents. I am sure TI will be happy to have his lady working permanantly in ATL…the question is if she will continue to manage the girl group OMG and tour with them once TI comes home. Good luck to the winner..like the rest I can’t wait to see the pics!
Thank you Sandra
lol @ Every woman on here wanting to be Tiny. Child, PUH-LEAZE.
Now, I do wish Tiny much luck and success with her shop. I love seeing black women own their own businesses, because I can’t think of ONE shop here in Dallas that you can get your nails done by a professional black person.
I’m not in ATL, so I don’t have to kiss arse just to go.
I’ll leave that to the fake ones.
If this was an engagement party, I would be more excited for her.
_________________________________________________
I was thinkin the same thing. If a man is sure he wants to be with you then why haven’t they said I do. Didnt she mention that when she was askin her “hypothetical” question that he know he wants to be with you bust he aint ready to be married or somethin similar to that.
I’m sorry but I can’t be in no lease with an option to buy. If you love me like you say you do then it shouldnt be a problem. Then he had the nerve to tell her to come home cause he didnt want her to go out, PUHLEEZE I understand that’s your man and all but my HUSBAND is the only man that can tell me he’d rather me stay home and he better do it nicely and not hang up on my azz like TI did her
I too am glad for her, I was just saying the other day that Im tired of spending MY money, in MY hood, with OTHER people! Good luck on that Tiny!
My God I am all for marriage, but judging people just cuz their not..I am not for… Let GOD worry about that.
@CALIGIRL101- HOW DID THE SHOW PROJECT TINY IN A POSITIVE LIGHT? THE SHOW IN MY OPINION MADE HER LOOK GHETTO WITH A CAPITOL G. THE WAY SHE TALKS IS CRAZY GHETTO AND IT MAKES HER LOOK LIKE SHE HAS NO CLASS.
I’ve never said anything bad about Tiny. I think she has a beautiful spirit that alot of us NEED to have. I’m proud of her and admire her dedication to her family and her man. I would luv to attend this event but if not, I wish her the best. Team Tiny!!
why is the grand opening being held at a secret location and not at the nail bar itself? or maybe the nail bar has moved somewhere else by now since she’s been working on getting it set up for a while. then again, maybe they never said where the nail bar was located at all when they showed it on that episode.
at any rate, I’m in NC and couldn’t make it to check it out. but i wish tiny all the best. it’s good to see black people open businesses that will cater to our community. i love the asian shops, but wish we had some black folks running things.
Hmmmm something nice…………
I just hope and
Lee Nails, Ming-Lee “Minks”, or Huang Nail Spa don’t move next door.
How’s that?
In the words of Maya Angelou:
Now you understand
Just why my head’s not bowed.
I don’t shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It’s in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
‘Cause I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
Tiny, You go girl! Congratulations!!!
I am so happy for Tiny opening up her nail shop. Who knows maybe this shop will be a chain of nail store that caters to the black community where we see our own people doing mani and pedi. I admire how you she holds her family down while her “hunny” is away and remains loyal to him. I admire how she handles the hater that wonder why TI would want you or better yet why he hasn’t married you which is really nobody business because what God has for you is for you. I relate to Tiny on some many differnet levels even with her father having Alziheimers which my grandmother died from and how hard it is to see the person you love not even remember all the special moments you’ve had with them. You are a big sister to Toya and a loving mother to your kids…making it through life situations aint you blessed as you can be!!! I wish you continue success in your new business endeavors and I continue to pray for your strength and you continue to pray for the haters as well!!!
A lot of people can be very judgmental when it comes to relationships, especially with theirs because of T.I.’s views on her working. I think him being away is a good thing(not under the current circumstances)because she can take this time to find out who she is and finally become her own woman. Congratulations not only on the salon but the OMG Girls as well. I wish you luck in all future endeavors and may GOD continue to bless you and your family.
Congratulations Tiny, I am so happy for you!!!!
This post does not apply to me since I live in the Dallas area…but whoever wins…have fun!!!!
You all have to understand that Tiny has always been a genuine person. It did not take for me to see her show to know this. I mean, as much as folks analyze her looks and how she talks, she does not respond to it; and that’s what I like about her.
An ignorant friend of mine thinks that Tiny is a bad person because of how she talks.
I had to educate her; the way Tiny talks is separate and has nothing to do with her character period.
How she looks or how she talks has nothing to do with her character as a person.
I’ve never had any problems with the way Tiny/Toya/any other country folk talk….country is as country does. I find it a bit irritating that ppl say its hard for them to understand country folk….it ain’t them, it’s you. Expand you listening skills.
The only person I may have a problem with is Plies for saying NIMBA instead of numba :lolol:

@CALIGIRL101- HOW DID THE SHOW PROJECT TINY IN A POSITIVE LIGHT? THE SHOW IN MY OPINION MADE HER LOOK GHETTO WITH A CAPITOL G. THE WAY SHE TALKS IS CRAZY GHETTO AND IT MAKES HER LOOK LIKE SHE HAS NO CLASS.
*********************************************
as you stated in “YOUR OPINION”, which is just that your opinion as my comment was my own opinion. If you really read my comment you would see how I thought she was shown positively as I stated “as a good friend, mother, and companion to TI”. Just because you felt she was Ghetto, does not mean everyone in America feels the same way. Everyone has and is entitled to their own opinion, I’m not dissing you for yours so please don’t diss me for mine. Thanks
I think the show opened many eyes to the relationship that exist between TI and TINY…she had her own before him and with a few successful business ventures she can continue to blossom and stack that paper , whether or not TI decides to stay with her.
Unlike others I do not need a request to be nice, I think we need to support other black owned businesses and stop bashing others. A lot of hating that goes on is for one simple reason JEALOUSLY Good luck Girl…
Sooo whoever kisses azz the best gets the prize
On the other hand, It’s always nice to see a Black Woman opening up a buisness, and trying to do well for herself. Sadly though, we all know this buisness venture will fall by the wayside once TI returns
I see a lot of ya’ll weren’t up to the challenge. It kills me that folks less succesfull than someone been less places, done less that someone can turn around and call THAT person igant and hoodrat AND diss their relationship and the fact that she is an unwed mother. Everyone who disses single mothers better NEVER have had unprotected sex.
Calling her a hoodrat is riduculous. How can you be a country blub hood rat? She’s got a grammy toured the world and you call her a hoodrat? The same folks who said this probably still living in or right near the same place they grew up in.Which is the definition of hoodrat.
I don’t have time to look for a babysittter this close to the event so I won’t be participation but ya’ll know Tiny is my friendinmyhead so whoever wins please have fun tell send me a picture of her to my whole name at yahoo.
I agree with the above comment, it is so easy to bring someone else down for their achievements, when you are not the one doing all the work. I want to start my own business because I believe in entrepreneurship; sadly a lot of black people do not, we rather just give our money to everyone else. Again, I applaud her for keeping her business in the area and not going out to Atlanta. Believe me she could have probably made a lot more money in Buckhead being her, but she kept it in her own area and bringing business there. I love the fact she is building that area up…
This is wonderful! Tiny is stepping out on faith and finding what makes her happy. As mothers we loose ourselves when it comes to our kids and husbands. Everyone else happiness comes first and mom is always last. Well, good bye to those days. She has finally realized that her happiness counts as well!! I live in Atlanta and there are not many successful black owned nail salons of this calibre around. I wish her much success with her upcoming business endevor and hope that it will allow many others to persue their dreams of owing thier own business(es)! We only go around this life time once and should make the best at it. Wether you fail or not, at least you did try it and learned from it. Tiny has had to prove herself for quit some time now. The media can tear you apart with just one write up good or bad! If anyone can attest to Monica’s song “Still Standing” she can! Congrats Tiny! Keep your head up girl and do your thing!
I won’t be in ATL until Friday so I wont be able to attend so save me a ticket to another exclusive event Auntie Sandra.
But I’m proud of Tiny she is finishing something that she has a passion for and something that has been on her heart to complete. God is working on her and this salon is about self development and growth. Its more than about a business venture or about being TI’s fiancé. May God continue to guide her and bless her to use her talents to help others.
I am so happy to hear the Tiny’s shop is finally opening… It’s great to see that she has made some of leaps and bounds that she was pondering on her show. I can’t wait to see these when the next season starts next year. Good luck to her on her new business venture.
I can honestly say that she is one of the POSITIVE images on tv today. She does not walk around flaunting her purses, cars, and other perks she gets. She has really shown us how family oriented she is and we should all support that. I wish her much success in the salon and I will visit often since it is nearby.
