Last night, British songbird Estelle hosted a private concert affair at Atlanta’s newest crown jewel, Club Reign (the new Vision). “This is not the Grand Opening, it’s just a soft opening,” said club owner Alex Gidewon of AG Entertainment. He added: “AG Entertainment is working hard to finalize the preparations for the big Grand Opening!” So stay tuned for the details!
Celebs like comedians Bill Bellamy, left, and Chris Tucker showed up to support the talented chanteuse.
The lines stretched down the block and around the corner at 6 p.m. on Thursday as Estelle fans queued up in the blazing heat to see her perform for the first time in the Dirty South!

@ West Coast Chick:
All you can say is she looks beautiful! Unless you have a problem with her cocoa chocolate skin
Yay!
#TooEasy *sigh*
Loves Estelle!!!
oh it has NOTHING to do with her skin Sandra…
How old is Estelle????? And that’s a serious question.

Chris is…….*reserves comment** I miss Omar Epps, I swear that’s the only reason I still watch that dreadful series called House. I could eat vanilla ice-cream on that hot dark chocolate of a body anyday all day!! I’m a sucker for dark skinned men **hides**

So you saying she looks elderly
why the
@ Sandra it’s not a matter of skin tone. it’s just facial features.
mirsmommy says:
Fugg wrong with Chris Tucker????? He looks, different
Hes coming to San Diego.,.. Why is front row $237
EVER ….Not on DUTY… NO BUENO 
Estelle stated her opinion on Drake and flat out said she hates when he sings on songs. That was her opinion, that leaves the door open for folks to give an opinion on her as well
@ West Coast Chick:

Auntie why would you think peeps had a problem with her skin? I love her brown skin but something about her is unattractive. She’s not ugly but she isn’t a total Betty either
But then again I don’t have regular taste : i think Wesley Snipes, Buju Banton and Isaiah Washington are some of the sexiest black entertainers !
Is THIS what we got ushered out of the Meeka post for?!
(wonders if She Who Shall Not Be Named is watching this post like she be watching dem streets)

Lol, i’m serious, scroll back up and look at the first pic… and you’ll see
When did Chris Tucker become so slim again??
@VERO
I thought you were trying to show off your braids.* Very nice by the way.
*This is why I can’t be even a fake lesbun. I noticed your boobs but chose to focus on your hair.
Bill & Chris i see ya’ll, ya’ll niccas aint slick
Yall still crazy says:
Bill Bellamy & Chris could get it… That’s all I’ve got…
*heads back to post*
They don’t want it
@Yso : that too
thanks for the Braids. i haven’t relaxed my hair in more than a year…. and geez ! it’s hard !
YSO
I was JUST about to compliment Vero on her braids… but I dont wanna make it seem like we jocking her 
jk V, I like her hair bew
*your*
Dragonfly is still what I go by, miss V, there’s no other name.
Is Omar Epps married? I need just one round with his fine ass, promise he won’t forget it. Or just one lick lmao!! Okay, let me stop, this is stupid.
I like the braids too. Just don’t have the patience and the heart to braid my hair anymore. too think, too coarse.
@ CFree… Chris could definitely get it
#chick got skillz in shyt
How do “y’all” manage to make a post go south so fast? This blog is like a quickie… the sex is over and I haven’t even gotten wet yet…
I agree Estelle is an acquired taste… she is very talented. She may not fit today’s vision of plexi glass azz, wet and wavey, dressed up Prius definition of beauty but I like her… Other than braces she hasn’t had any auto body work done. Also she has always worked with big name artist, which I say shows her true star power rather than her purchased stars.
SN: I missed you guys today
@ok @ Dragonfly

Oh, hail, I might as well share em, since Fayla windmilled me yesterday over him
cant keep getting my azz e-whooped over dis nigga 
Hey dawn
@ WCC : yeah i do. i hate it when people touch my hair. they’re always too rough for my taste !
Lmao! Me too @Vero, that’s why you’ll always see me spotting the 90’s braids, I call ’em “the Da Bratt’s” lmao hahahahahahahahaha they’re easy to put in and easy to take out. My sister has been trying to get me to wear a weave, for years now. I can’t, I love the fact that my braids are gym friendly, LOL!
@VERO
I haven’t had that creamy crack for several years now.
My hair is thick and coarse too and it was to arduous and downright painful to get and keep this sht straight. I did braids and kinky twists for a while before I transitioned to my locs.
@Drag : exactly !!!!! they’re very practical and i like the style, even if i have people telling me it’s soooo 2000 ! except for the braiding part. your arms get tired and all but you can’t go with half your hair braided.
ughhh
i’m seriously thinking of perming it again before the end of the year
DAWN!! :hugs:
We missed you too!
If I could braid my OWN hair, I’d save …..
about a half a million 
unfortunately, I have to fuk with the Africans and there prices are equivalent to an air flight ticket to AFRICA 
@Yso, i thought about the locks for a minute but there’s also too much maintenance !
i mean i love my hair. it’s jet black, shiny but nappy. passing a comb through it brings tears to my eyes sometimes
and since it’s to thick, braiding it, (cornrows or regular braids takes ages).
right now i’m wearing a quick wig because i didn’t have time to do it !
Word on my twitter water cooler is it was something else in here today… did anyone get kicked off the plantation?
Vero, How goes it…WCC…
the africans at the salons? yeah they cost an arm and a leg. when i was living in france, that’s what made me start doing my own hair.
or you have to find a skilled girl who does it at home. i had one also when i wore the ‘pony’ braids. she was good and cheap.
now i do my own hair and sometimes even braid friends’ hair !
@YsoDamnSerious, begining of this year, decided to cut all my hair off. I’m trying to have my hair long enough to have african locks. I want the thicks ones so I’m waiting for my hair to grow long enough for that. The problem is that, this shit is too sore to comb and I don’t want no chemical assisstance, braids are my only hope of avoiding the comb like I avoide getting pregnant and the HIV.
*peeks back in*
what’s african locks?
@ Dawn : me good and you lady? as far as we know no one got kicked. yet !
Damn!! I’m skilled at doing braids but all my girls don’t know how to braid hair, so I end up doing people’s hair for free but pay an arm and a leg for mine to be braided. I’ve now learned how to bloddy “da bratt” my own damn head, so I’m chilling!!!
hey pretty mommy
@VERO
Locs are a lot of maintenance.
I’m being cheap and trying to maintain them myself but I had to cut mine off and start over a couple of months ago cause my hair became really damaged and broke off really bad at the crown.
I might break down and start going to a shop but the miser in me is strongly against this.
soooo who knows Mans Twitter name?
lol @ Drag: i do it for free too. always end up thinking i’m being too nice !
YSO can u take plantation Kobe outta yo gravi?
@Vero
@Yso : i know !!!!! and it annoys the crap out of me, to see people growing locks always twisting them. they’re talking to you and be twisting, they eating, and be twisting.
ughhhhhhhhhh
@HIS
Since I can’t say no to you, what/who would you like to see bew?
lol @ his ! you need to stop that
and I don’t know Man’s twitter
but i really need to find a solution for my hair.
wigs are cool for a minute , just a minute,
braids : can’t do that no more,
relaxer, not a good idea on the long run.
might do the big C !
@VERO
I try not to twist them when I’m eating but yeah…You’d find me annoying as hail just about any other time.
lol i know Yso! and i don’t want to become one of you :p
@Yso, surprise me!
Ok ladies, it was nice talking to you. My son has just arrived, so I’m gonna spend time with him !
African locks = dreadlocks I just hate calling them that because there aint nothing dreadful about them. So I call em African locks.
HOORAYYYYYY fo the new season of Deadly Women!! (I’m tryna get on there soon) #Random
ok I’m off to drank sum’m
Have a great weekend guys
ok b4 I go, is that Kelis in yo gravi @Drag
Yes @his_moma, love me some pre-NAS Kelis.
Estelle isn’t as cute as she was when she first came out, but I hear being on Diddy’s label can take the life out of you so…
UMMMM AUNTIE AINT THAT DECATUR FLAVOR NAMED MARLO HAMPTON (NEW CAST MEMBER OF RHOA)???
Hello All. Wesley, when did u get outta jail? Like someone said, beauty is features not the color of ones skin. (My son is bout to marry a chocolate, chocolte woman and I love her to death: beauty, brains and a big, BIG heart, he’s so blessed!)
Dear SR Fam
Breaking News from London – Amy Winehouse has been found dead in her flat. RIP Amy
RIP Amy Winehouse…. Goes off to listen to Back to Black and Frank in her memory.
Sandra: they’re reporting that Amy Winehouse was found dead in her home this morning! Can you get us some info snice you’re over there?
R.I.P Amy
R.I.P Amy Winehouse
R.I.P Amy Winehouse
R.I.P. Amy Winehouse…Addiction is no joke…a real disease;such a tragedy
I came here today to see if Sandra had a thread on Amy Winehouse’s death. I’m so sorry to hear about her passing. It’s very sad and tragic, but I’m not surprised.
My heart goes out to her family and friends.
Wow Chris Tucker looks the same way he did in Dead Presidents after the war…..
Sandra I was there for this show. She performed her rass off. She gave a good show. I remember thinking ” wow she’s actually pretty in person”. The line didn’t stretch around the block until after 8pm and it only did that because Alex wouldn’t let us in, we stood out there for like an hour and some change. My invite said 8pm, when we got there they were still hanging signs and cleaning up lolll. They weren’t letting anyone in, didn’t matter who your connections were.
