A Diva State of Mind

MAC Cosmetics has teamed up with Alice + Olivia for a limited edition of lip gloss, eye shadows and nail lacquer.  The collection is fun and edgy!!  I absolutely LOVE the nail lacquer colors; two of them are my favorite colors (teal and purple).  I usually don’t step outside of dark purple during the winter and french manicures during the spring/summer, but the Alice + Olivia collection has me considering stepping out of my comfort zone (these colors would be great for my Miami vacation!!!)
 
Check your local MAC Cosmetics stores for the Alice + Olivia collection because many of the products are SOLD OUT online.  Clearly I missed the memo!

I thought it was a joke when I first heard that Que from Day 26 had proposed on Twitter. But it’s true.  For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, Que from Day 26 proposed to his girlfriend Dawn (of Dirty Money) over the 4^th of July weekend:

“@dawnrichard i want tha hole world 2 kno ur mine forever….Will u Marry Me……….I love You”.

I know you’re all wondering, “did she say yes??” She didn’t respond on Twitter, but according to Que’s camp, they are engaged. Now I know  his intentions were good because anyone who has watched “Making the Band” knows that these two are madly in love, but proposing over Twitter is tacky. I’m hoping that a real proposal took place along with him asking over Twitter.

Now I know technology and social media have taken over as the primary forms of communication, but when it comes to something like an engagement,  that’s one thing that should be done face to face!  If I was in a relationship, I wish someone would dare to propose to me on twitter (I’m being sarcastic)!  My future husband better NOT even entertain the idea of using Twitter, Facebook, gchat, text messages or bbm to propose to me.  What happened to face to face, personal communication?  I don’t think those social media applications should be used to ask people out and have serious conversations.  If you’re really interested in someone you better pick up the phone to ask them out.  Bbm and text messages just don’t cut it, not even in 2010.

These days, people have become so lazy.  I remember when we used to have to remember everyone’s home phone numbers because cell phones didn’t exist.  We used to pick up the phone to actually make a call and plan to see each other. These days, I like most, use text messaging, gchat and bbm first before I even consider making a phone call.

So since social media has taken over the basic forms of communication, ladies what would you do if you’re significant other proposed to you over Twitter or any other social media application?

Fellas, would you even dare to ask your woman out or propose to her on Twitter, Facebook, etc?

The death of Alexander McQueen in February left the fashion world missing an icon.  McQueen was a young 40 year old designer who was known for his dramatic designs which have been worn by many celebrities including Rihanna and Lady Gaga.

Just because McQueen is gone doesn’t mean his fashion has to come to an end. His right hand woman, Sarah Burton, took over as creative director to continue the McQueen brand.  The Cruise 2011 Collection was unveiled last week and is AMAZING!! The collection was inspired by Hans Bellmer’s dolls and samurai warriors. 

LOVE IT!!
