Celebs Out & About: Tiny’s Halloween Skate Party

Singer/songwriter and RHOA member Kandi Burruss, left, posed with reality TV personality Antonia “Toya” Carter at Tiny’s skate party. Both Kandi and Toya have emerged as Atlanta’s most eligible bachelorettes! You should see the emails I receive from their devoted fans — mostly men looking for the hook up. I don’t play matchmaker for celebs so I’m not posting those emails. But the emails are interesting.

L to R: Tiny, Tiny’s manager Lisa McCall (Boss chick in the red!), Toya (in pink with shades) and Tip’s daughter Deyjah watch the OMG Girlz perform.

FanMAIL: Solange Lies On Oprah Show

Before we get to the email, let’s make it clear that Oprah asked Solange Knowles to be on the show because of her sister Beyonce. She probably asked Beyonce first but Bey declined because she didn’t want to get clowned for wearing all that weave. Despite what comes out of her mouth, Solange wanted all this attention from shaving her head.

Still, I am proud of her for taking this drastic step (she can’t help if her head is shaped like a coconut). I wish ALL black woman, LSLH women and sisters of color would throw down their weaves and go natural. I really do hate to see our women wearing weave. Especially those ghetto braid extensions.

Loyal reader N.D. writes:

Did you catch Oprah today? Solange just made herself look like a fool by saying that she got her first perm when she was 4 years old, only to later say that her mom forbid perms in their household. What sense does that make? I’ve been trying to find the video, because I just can’t believe she would tell a lie just like that on national TV. However, I can’t find the footage anywhere.

Why won’t Fresh Let Trina Be Great?

I LOVE me some Fresh who runs roughshod all over Miami rapper Trina on her blog Crunktastical.net. My post title is a take off on one of Fresh’s many original, yet comical euphemisms: “why won’t you let ______ be great?”

Here’s what Fresh wrote about Trina today:

My how times have changed. New wig, new look, new attitude! Girl, you so editorial.

Probably not but Katrina Laverne is still trying to make us all believers. Of what, I am not sure of but she isn’t going to give up until she is at the same star status as a certain spicy creole goddess who shall remain nameless. Good luck with that.

Trina opens up about her relationship with Denver Nuggets star Kenyon Martin, her collard green funk image, and the direction of her upcoming album with Blue magazine editor Lenox Magee.

How To Style Your Own Hair Pt. 3 (quick weave)

Here’s part 3 in the popular YouTube series, How To Style Your Own Hair. This video is for those of you who, like me, have no clue what the term “quick weave” means.

Dade County Florida’s Geisha breaks the process down for us in simple layman’s terms so we can all understand — and maybe make a little fast cash on the side by quick weaving our friend’s hair.

In addition to being a kitchen quick weave specialist, Geisha is also a female emcee which kind of goes hand in hand with each other, doesn’t it?

This is Your people right here…

I shouldn’t be laughing so hard, but some of you ladies take the rainbow Skittles quick weaves to whole new heights, lol! I can’t believe this woman sat still and allowed someone to do this injustice to her head!

Only a flaming queen hairdresser could have done this to her head because if a female did this she was straight up hating on homegirl!

Thanks to Freshalina of C&D for all the laughs today!

Internet sensation Susan Boyle gets a makeover

I honestly don’t know why people are making such a big deal out of British singer Susan Boyle’s singing voice. Any opera singer can do cartwheels around her. I’m getting tired of seeing this lady on my favorite right wing conservative shows like The O’Reilly Factor. Anyway, the 48-year-old British school teacher caved in to the pressure from Simon Cowell and ‘em and got herself a stylish makeover with a new blunt haircut and brand name clothes. Too bad she didn’t tell Simon to kiss her arse and accept her the way she is.

Taraji P. Henson’s Hair Stylist Shares Tips On How To Achieve Her Look

We love Taraji Henson because, among other things, she’s not afraid to wear her real hair and go without makeup every once in a while.

New York-based celebrity hair stylist, Dante Blandshaw shares expert tips on how he used Aveda products to achieve Taraji P. Henson’s look for the Oscar Awards:

• “I started with Aveda Brilliant Shampoo and Aveda Brilliant Conditioner to soften Taraji’s textured hair,” said Blandshaw. “I love the Aveda Brilliant line because it provides a smooth shine to textured hair and reduces blow dry time.”

• Prep hair with Aveda Brilliant Damage Control to protect from heat styling.

• Blow dry hair straight using a paddle brush.

• After blow drying, add a dime-sized amount of Aveda Brilliant Universal Styling Creme to add additional shine without weighing hair down.

• Flat-iron hair to create the foundation for a smooth, sleek red carpet look.

• Using 1.5” and 2” barrel curling irons, curl hair throughout to give bend and movement, accenting the layers in the cut.

• Slightly curl the front to create a soft, side-swept bang for added height and fullness.

• Comb hair through with a wide-tooth comb.

• Spray with Aveda Air Control Hair Spray for a light finish. “Aveda Air Control Hair Spray is a perfect complement to this look because its lightweight formula provides lasting hold and shine without weighing hair down,” said Blandshaw. [LINK]

I know I said I wouldn’t post any more pics from the Oscars last night, but I had to post this one of Taraji Henson and her beautiful mother and grandmother. I’m not mad at grandma for showing a little cleavage. If I still have cleavage when I’m her age I’m showing mines off too!
