RIP: Alexander McQueen
I had a few reservations about doing this post because honestly, and from the bottom of my heart, I cannot fathom why someone would go and take their own life. I know everyone walks a different path and life can be unbearably stressful at times but.... to commit suicide?? Such an unnecessary cop-out, in my humble opinion, of course.
Having said that, I cannot deny the design genius of the late, Alexander McQueen. I will not sit here and speculate on what he went through in his life because I was not in his shoes.... I will, however, post up some of his dope designs.

Grammy 2010 Wrap-up: Fashion
*The Good, the Bad and the Ugly*
First of all... Are you guys seeing this? This dress absolutely made my life!! Pass it over Bey! *DROOL*
John Legend and his beautiful lady Christine.
Celine Dion looked very nice!
No bueno Ricky!
MJB was embarrassing some of the younger ladies in this fab dress!
SMDH! Ciara, you tied for absolute worst dressed of the night. The BOOs continue!
Hot look for Jennifer!
Meh....
This one did nothing for me.
Nice look for Mrs. Lopez.
I'd wear this on a date, not the Grammys. Did anyone else hate her make-up??
Loved the blue on you Fergie, but I'm still on the fence about that shimmery thing.
Pink, you make the dress look so OFF standing like that! Respect the garment PLEASE! :@
Carrie Underwood looked really good in this flowy dress.
Access Hollywood must have been really hard up for ratings to have this guy co-host with them. Not only was his suit NOT steamed/pressed, but he had THE GALL to repeatedly unbutton his shirt?? *expletive expletive expletive*
Boring. Would've worked if she had a pop of colour....
Ugh..... *Tapping out*
Rihanna ate EVERYBODY'S food with this one!! Hair (which I'm not even a fan of), accessories, make-up and dress were PERFECT!!
Ohh Gaga.... How I love thee! She bought IT!! High fashion DRAMA... Thank you Giorgio Armani!

Grammy 2010 Wrap-Up: Performances
I can admit this... I'm not happy that both Melanie Fiona and Drake lucked out in both of their categories but, to be nominated at the Grammys is just as BIG an honor as winning the actual award. I'm so happy that Drake had the opportunity to perform..... but, & let's be real, the performance was crap!! Poor ting was bleeped throughout the entire performance. *Tsk tsk*
Here are some of the performances:
Drake, Lil Wayne, Travis Barker & Eminem - "Drop The World" & "Forever"
[I couldn't hear you Drake... SMH]
Jamie Foxx, T-Pain, Doug E. Fresh & Slash - "Blame It"
[I started off laughing from the opera opening... & then it just got awkward.]
Beyonce - "If I Were A Boy/You Outta Know"
[Wasn't impressed.]
Smokey Robinson, Jennifer Hudson, Celine Dion, Carrie Underwood & Usher - "Earth Song" [Michael Jackson 3D Tribute]
[Ugh... Why must Usher continue to be so damn extra?!]

Hard or trying a ting?
I've always wanted to know: Since when does being half/fully naked = being a fashionista/fashion icon? Granted, her stylist Mariel Haenn has an AMAZING eye for what's hot but, do I have to see all of Rihanna's business in the process?? Faaaaak!!!
Rihanna Feat. Yung Jeezy - Hard
Ms. MusiQ: As my cousin would say, "I dunno how to feel...."
PS. This was the new joint of the day on 106 & Park.... Chris Brown was also in the studio.
*side eye @ BET*
Conspiracy? I dunno but come one people, stop trying to re-fuel the drama!

"How You Doin'?"
Don't worry, I didn't forget about you guys!!
I'm still in my vacay state of mind, wishing I was still laying on the beach in the Dominican Republic..... Ahhhhh! The good thing about being back home: the food in DR is CRAP! The bad thing about being home: WINTER!
Anyhow, what's everybody getting into this holiday season? Me, I just wanna see my family and stuff my face (what else is new?)! I'm not really feeling the whole New Year's club vibe but if anybody is having a *DECENT* house party, holla at your girl! :D
..... The reason why I wish I was still in DR:

My thoughts on the AMAs
Ok so, I wasn't watching the time and missed the first 15 mins of the show! Now, that wouldn't be so bad if it was the BET Awards but they never rerun the AMAs and I MISSED JANET!! Efffffff! Man, thank goodness for YouTube and WSHH!
Performances:
-I tuned into the AMAs in time to see Shakira's sh*tty step routine performance thing. Moving along...
-Kelly Clarkson performed her record breaking hit, 'Already Gone' and while her performance definately lacked some much needed energy, you can't deny her natural talent. Nice vocals Kelly (but please fire your hair and wardrobe stylists ASAP)!
-I didn't love Carrie Underwood's performance or the song but she just has that thing.... Is it her strong vocals? Her personality? I dunno what it is but I like the girl.
-Jay Z and Alicia Keys had everybody on the feet and sing along to 'New York'. Yeah, the song is MAD catchy, I can admit that and I love the piano intro that Alicia did. I also gotta admit that I would've appreciated it if the Jay stuck to his "All Black Everything" cause that suit choice sucked.
-Rihanna's performance was sooooo SH*T!! POINT BLANK PERIOD. She really needs to stop getting so naked all the damn time, on some real sh*t.
-Lady Gaga, always the original, performed "Bad Romance/Speechless' and broke some glass... Dangerous but HOT! LOL.
-I forgot how good Mary J. Blige sounds live and I liked her performance.... Plus, she looked really good!
-Jennifer Lopez tried a ting with her new song 'Louboutins'.... *Go ahead and laugh. I know I did!* She hasn't performed in nineteen-eleven years and thought it was appropriate come out on stage as a boxing champ and sing THAT song............ WHO TOLD YOU?! PS, I won't laugh about your fall but I will say that your solo dance sequence didn't have the same flare as it use to. Time to regroup mama, I'm just saying!
-*sigh* Alicia Keys.... I really hate it when you try so hard. Stick to swaying your hips and sitting at your piano mama! That little dance session you had with your backup dancer was very ackward & NOT cute! I'm starting to like that, 'Sleeping With a Broken Heart' song but your pitchy vocals will be the death of me.
-BEP should stick to upbeat songs/performances and be easy with those space suits!
-Eminem and 50 seemed maaaadddd out of place to me..... and who told Eminem to do 'Forever' without Drake?
-I didn't expect Timberland to perform tonight so that was a surprise. The permance gets a 6/10 and all because he brought out Nelly Furtado!
-Green Day is hella consistent... Nuff said!
-*side eye* @ this Adam Lambert dude. I'm so off beat right now. I don't know how to feel.....
*Ok so I was able to catch the Janet performance on WSHH. She may look about 30 but she really is dancing with the energy of a 45 yr old these days :(. I liked the music throwbacks but I HATED her outfit. Can someone tell me why she continues to wear these baggy suits with the tight belts around the waist of the jacket?? Anyways, I appreciated her saving 'Together Again' for last... I know that was for MJ <3>

2009 AMA Pics
Shakira look hot in this yellow number. Wrong choice of pumps though.
Leona Lewis, who is your stylist and why are you still paying her? Booties can gwan but, that's about it!
Shante looked good. Didn't like the hair or shoes but that jumper is hot!
This look is a no for me Jenny.
... Just why? Rihanna is taking is "egdy" persona too far.
Looking good ladies!
This one is A LITTLE BIT better than the white outfit.
A good look for our boy Drizzy....
Hey Ne-Yo, nice blazer. Not loving that button up though...
