Monica’s Big 30th B-Day Bash Canceled in Atlanta; Moved to LA

R&B Diva Monica covers Essence magazine's 1st Hot Hair issue, that's currently on news stands. She rocks the same light streaks and short bob as singer Kelly Rowland. They both wear it so well!

Inside the magazine, Essence explores the “unique relationship between African-American women and their hair”.

Yesterday I heard from someone in Mo's camp, who advised me that the plans for Mo's huge 30th birthday bash in Atlanta has been canceled for this weekend.

Instead, the party moves to Los Angeles, probably because her boo, Lakers guard Shannon Brown, will be playing in a pre-season game on the west coast and he wouldn't be able to make the trip to the A this weekend.

Even though Monica will celebrate her 30th with a private bash on the left coast, we will still be in attendance to bring you all the excitement! So stay tuned.

    @Flo - girl did you get that gravi from the Illuminati site?

    I have to get this book for some natural styles. My twist outs, 2 strand twists, and wash and gos are getting old. I'm about to rock a sew in for the winter if this book can't help.

    Monica is beautiful..flaws and all. She's been out since she was 14 and that was what in the mid 90s. I'd say 30ish is about right.

  • FloridaChick813

    Sorry boo @OTB, but whats the problemo??? You had ENOUGH huh???

    :rofl: @Mirs, naw, he probably found out she been throwing away his clothes during laundry, so he bleached her sh.it. Her good sh.it too! The sh.it this bish hides in the vacuum sacks! :lol:

  • FloridaChick813

    :no: @Shauny, I dont know where it came from :shrug:

    You wear your hair natural? My friend does and she keeps hers lookin gorgeous!!!

  • Shauny

    Yep, I cut all the perm out this Feb. It grew back so fast. I think if I blow dryed it, it would be about the same length (hitting my shoulders) that it was when I had my perm.

    Now I see Bey blowing a kiss (that is Bey isn't it?). At first I saw that one that makes you dizzy :lolol:

  • FloridaChick813

    They are some goo-goo gaga a$$ men though @OTB :rolleyes: BIG A$$ BABIES!!!! I told mine just yesterday "look, you gotta get up from under me sometimes. You tote guns and sh.it, what are you doin acting all soft???" (side eye) But then again Im a scorpio and we are VERY emotional and sensual people, so part of me enjoys it! Anyway, I better enjoy it while I can, cause it about 4 weeks, Im gonna be ALL ALONE in Jacksonville :/ Ugghhhh, just sayin it makes me sick!!!

    Anyway, when we packing up ol' boys sh.it and moving him out??? :coffee:

    Monica looks stunning, but I expect no less from her. The majority of the time she's on point with her style. I love her hair and makeup. She's one of the few celebs who can rock the short do.

    I might have to pick this issue up because it looks like they have some cute natural hair styles.
