Buffalo. Fashion. Weekend.

I know.

You're probably thinking 2 things. 1) where the hell you been JeJa?! 2) How was Buffalo Fashion Weekend?

Well to say the least it was a great first attempt. Mercedes Benz had everything from cash bar, vip seating, goodie bags, sponsors stations & appetizers. The turnout was surprising with almost every single seat filled. I will say that I was not very impressed with the selection of designs chosen for the show. Among the participants were Banana Republic, Cache', White House | Black Market, Ann Taylor and Lu Modern Classics, to name a few. The Banana Republic mens wear collection is something fierce with sharp slacks, varied textures including stain and velvet, subtle prints and various pieces you can mix and match for business or casual wear. Most of the women's collections had signature styles for the office. Ann Taylor by far stole the show with amazing cardigans, daring skirts and knock out blouses.

Suggestions for next year: GIVE ME A SHORTER SHOW! The first half of the show was 2 hours long and the intermission was at 1/2 an hour long. Not true to NYC Fashion week at all.

I look forward to seeing more of Mercedes Benz sponsorship in Buffalo for other Fashion weekends. Don't sleep on Buffalo people. Its slowly but surely on the rise.

4 more days till the season starts

Nooooo,

Not talking about football or any other sport. I'm talking about the highly anticipated Cuffing season. What exactly is cuffing season? According to Websters (and trust me one day the word cuffing will be in there) Cuffing is the action between a man & a woman where there is a lot of lovey dovey, sexing, relationship type actions. Please note you do not have to actually be IN a relationship to cuff. The season starts Labor Day and ends around April Fools day. If you live in Miami or Cali Cuffing Season doesn't exist there. Yes, this sport is EXTREMELY dependent on the weather. In fact as the weather gets colder Cuffing increases in popularity. Conversly as the weather gets warmer the cuffing decreases DRAMATICALLY. See folks, warmer weather + less articles of clothing x more people outside = increased curiosity.

So folks please enjoy your weekend. Have SAFE one night stands, make out in dark corners etc. Before you know it you'll be cuffed.

P-u-s-s-y power

Hey, hey, hey!

Last night after a very thorough conversation with a good friend of mine (and yes for 10 minutes we dwelled on how 'men aint shit') I began thinking of the power women actually have over men.

Although seen as the inferior sex we actually control a lot of the world. Mens shopping habits, for example, are controlled by women. Oh you thought you purchased that $300 outfit, $450,000 car and $200 bottle of cologne to make yourself feel better? Ehhh, ok 2% of that decision was to prove you have bigger balls than the next man. The other 98% was most definitely to get women aka to get into her pants.

As human beings were are predisposed to make our exterior more appealing for mating purposes. So I understand.

But the next time a man thinks of a woman as inferior think about how she conned you into a shopping spree. The power of the p-u-s-s-y...

Yaaaawn

What a long day! Definitely enjoyed my day off. My room FINALLY looks like a room as opposed to a homeless shelter. Pictures to post soon! Today I was pondering alter ego careers. Drug dealing and stripping were my top 2 choices. Drug dealing fascinates me because those involved never think they can get caught. Everyone reaches their prime and then bam! Off they go. Death or jail, which really aren't that different from each other. To deal drugs you have to be fearless and heartless. A robot. The same can apply to stripping. You're body is your talent and so the more a client wants the more they pay and the more you give. Your conscience ceases to exist and you can't take anything personal, its business. The biggest worry would be getting kidnapped by some psycho serial killer. Or becoming a drug addict. With either profession you must be willing to disconnect yourself from the situations you will face. Put your game face on and make that money. Even though its really making you.

Ps, I'd strip in Vegas. Those girls get paid!
