WTF Is She Wearing?
In this edition of WTF Is She Wearing?, singer Alicia Keys was spotted wearing some type of two piece pleather rolled up shorts over leggings outfit at a Tribeca Film Festival event at the Greenwich Hotel in NYC yesterday. We used to call those kind of shorts “hot pants.” She complimented her all-black ensemble with spiked 6 inch platform open toe heels. I don’t even know what to call this get up. The urban Goth look?
Celebs Out & About
Pseudo singer Ciara looks like a post-op tranny in these pictures. Let me take that back because I’ve seen post-op trannies who look way better than her. Who styles this chick anyway? Ciara showed up at the Us Weekly Hot Hollywood Style Issue celebration held at Drai’s Hollywood at the W Hollywood yesterday. getty
Ciara’s BFF LaLa Vazquez also attended the Us Weekly Hot Hollywood Style Issue celebration in Hollywood yesterday.
Who is this basic looking chick? I didn’t recognize her either. It’s one-hit wonder Kelis who visited the studios of SIRIUS XM radio in NYC yesterday looking surprisingly normal.
MORE pics after the break!
Celebs Style: LisaRaye
The Diva LisaRaye was spotted on the red carpet at the “The Losers” Premiere at Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood on Tuesday. She was wearing one of her signature white Louis Stewart bags from his ladies line. Wherever I go I get compliments on my grey suede backpack. Everybody thinks it’s fiya!

EDITED, April 23, 7:30 am:
Edited to correct the name of the law firm.
I guess Catherine Brewton, who runs BMI’s Atlanta office, was feeling some kind of way about this post that I wrote two days ago. Yesterday, she sent the full weight of the Greenberg Traurig law firm after me.
Yesterday morning, an attorney named Mark Trigg called me (I don’t know how he got my number). Out of courtesy, I informed Mr. Trigg that our call was being recorded, which I didn’t have to do since Georgia law requires only one person to know the call is being recorded, and that would be me.
Mr. Trigg started off nice enough, but then the call quickly went South when he started yapping about shutting my blog down by the end of the day (yesterday) if I didn’t remove my post and a Photoshopped picture that was used to illustrate the post.
I told Mr. Trigg that I was surprised to hear that there was a law against Photoshopping pictures (there is none that I know of) and that all the major media outlets engage in photo manipulation of public figures every day. If Photoshopping public figures was against the law, then the courtrooms would be clogged with lawsuits against every magazine and newspaper in the country.
Anyway, to make a long story short, I removed the photo (even though I didn’t have to). But not one single word in my original post has been altered or deleted. I don’t feel the need to remove a post if I have full confidence in my sources.
Besides, celebrities with pockets deeper than Catherine Brewton’s, including Kimora Lee Simmons and others, have all unleashed their attorneys against me at one time or another. But after the dust clears, Sandrarose.com remains standing and not one of those posts has been removed.
Until Barack Obama overturns the Constitution, this is still America and the Constitution fiercely protects my right to say my piece.
The bottom line is, this all boils down to the fact that Brewton may have panicked after reading my post because she wasn’t supposed to pay Drake for his appearance at her BMI unsigned talent showcase. I don’t know if she paid him or not. But my credible sources tell me that Drake “absolutely” received an appearance fee to perform at the BMI showcase on Tuesday (April 20). Again, I stand by my sources.
There is no shortage of stories from industry people who have had run-ins with the ice queen, Catherine Brewton. Click the link below to view an email I received from a reader who asked to remain anonymous. I laughed out loud when I read his email because that’s Catherine Brewton to a T!
Catherine Brewton is that special breed of narcissist who can totally devalue, degrade, disrespect and dismiss you all within the first few minutes of meeting her.
If you don’t benefit Catherine Brewton in some way, you simply don’t exist:
White Robber Nabbed Wearing a “Playa” Mask
A white bank robber wearing a mask depicting a black man was able to elude capture because Ohio cops thought they were looking for a black male. The brazen thief robbed four banks before being spotted by an alert police officer.
Conrad Zdzierak, 30, has been charged with multiple counts of aggravated robbery after robbing four banks and a CVS pharmacy on April 9, reports ABC News affiliate WFTS in Tampa.
Detectives say Zdzierak was initially able to elude the cops because of his disguise, an expensive silicon mask called “The Player” valued at around $650.
“The suspect seen in the surveillance photographs and that we were looking for, we believed to be an African-American male. The suspect was actually a male, white, who was wearing an elaborate disguise,” Springdale, Ohio, Police Lt. Michael Mathis told WFTS.
Investigators believe Zdzierak likely removed the mask between the robberies in order to confuse the cops who believed they were looking a black man.
The authorities caught a break when they spotted a Volvo with its interior splattered with red dye from a dye pack slipped into a bag used to hold the stolen money.
Police found Zdzierak hiding in a motel bathroom.
“He wore what I’m calling a ‘Hollywood quality’ mask,” Mathis said. “These things cost $600-$700.” Read More…

Loyal reader Roxanne wants to know:
Hey Sandra,
Love your site! Absolutely adore it! You keep it 100 at all times. I was browsing your site a couple of minutes ago and came across the photos for the Annual Luda Foundation Fundraiser hosted by RL. Just checking to see if you can get the name of the designer who makes those banging shoes on the chick in the now “infamous” yellow dress! LOL! You can just click reply if you want to send it to me direct or, I’m sure folks have already asked, so, I’ll check your site to see if you have an update on them. Hope to hear from you soon!
Oh, and one more thing…GIRL, I get mad as hot coals when “they” mess with you. You say what others want to, but can’t, because of fear, intimidation and the almighty DOLLA! Continue exercising your right to free speech, keeping it real and laughing at them haters!
Now let me get my tail back to work! LOL!!!

Hey Roxanne, I have no idea. But I’ll ask my friends over at UpscaleHype blog (Sarah Chapman is out of town).
Update:
According to loyal readers Carl Ayers, Editor-in-chief of Obvious magazine and Sarah (not Sarah Chapman), the sandals are from the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2009 collection. But I also received an email from someone claiming to be the lady in the yellow bandage dress herself (she didn’t give her name). She said she bought the shoes at BeBe in Phipps plaza last year. But does BeBe sell Louis Vuitton shoes?

It was a very special moment just being able to converse with they many people I did. The items I purchased were nice. It feels great being able to having something I never thought I would own. The limited edition polo tie its self has its own meaning that I cannot express in words. I love the tie. I would like to Thank Chaka Zulu (Ceo of DTP), Ludacris (Ludacris Foundation), Gabrielle Union, Jamal Coleman, and Sandrarose.com . I will continue to do well in school and perform exceptionally well academically, in athletics, and in my community.
