press on's: the ghosts of fashion's past

in the 80's press on's were the shit, or so says my mama. well dashing diva brought them back for october 31, 2009 better know as halloween. the black press on features a tiny skull and cross bones, and for 10 bones you can purchase them at sephora....now i've never celebrated halloween but i think the idea is cute....and its way cheaper than going to the nail salon and getting a skull and bones on your nails.

what rach rocked....to flat top grill

back in school....i guess

today when i got out of class i decided to go visit my mom at her job. red(her nickname) has been a special education teacher all of my life. like all teachers, she has a class of good intended but sometimes misbehaved students. i honestly enjoy coming to see them, they're like the little brothers and sisters i never asked for but am happy to have.

as i walked into the class i was received with warm hugs and hellos, my mother was sitting at her desk finishing up her lunch when i pulled out a dozen roses and a brightly wrapped box. yesterday was her 49th birthday and we weren't able to spend time with one another. so i knew she would appreciate my suprise.....she did!

as the school day came to a close my mother went to her closet and pulled out a huge bag of candy. apparently most of the kids were being good so she was going to reward them with 'penny candy', what she didn't know was that i was going to dive in to the bag and search for my favorites.... tootsie fruit rolls, dubble bubble bubblegum, starbursts, jolly ranchers and mini snickers. i think i made the other kids jealous because they were allow one piece verses what would seem like my thousands lol...

in all i had a good day and then when i was all said in done i strolled to the gymrooom and helped my mom coach volleyball.....

curls and pearls

this will be the next hair style for the fall.....

the forgotten shoe

so after my morning shower i ran to my closet to find clothes my eyes shifted to a nike box that was collecting dust on a shelf. and found these....

...bam i forgot i bought these and never wore them. i think i'm going to be nice and pass them down to my little cousin maya....

today i had to run to the library to return some books and pick some up. growing up i was the loner type and my escape was books. today i needed a picture book to read to my boujee and and a book for me so i picked up 'cloudy with a chance of meatballs' and 'mama black widow', two of my all time favorite books.

my book

boujee's book

i forgot that the library also has movies, they had my favorite movie "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".....YES!!!! so a good day will be had....

twerkin....stop the madness...NOW!

wtf???? the latest internet craze seems to be woman (mostly black) 'twerkin'. to some its cute and erotic, personally that shit is straight trash. i'm not trying to come off as self righteous, i'm no angel myself but really this has to stop. its already very hard for black women to be taken seriously and this twerkin' mess makes it even harder.

strip clubs exist and there are women who do this for a living. i don't look down on them because i don't know their stories and why they do what they do, but at least their getting paid. this girls are on the internet giving that shit away for the FREE(treated).

after watching a few of this videos these girls can't be too proud of their choices because they rarely show their faces. i think they cut out or hide their faces because deep down they know that shit is a mess and would be utterly embarassed if someone they knew saw it and found out.

can we please stop this twerkin' shit via the internet...leave it in your bedrooms and at strip clubs.

what rach rocked: the sweater dress

its cold in chicago now....i put on a scarf and gloves to go to school this morning(it was like 70 degrees two weeks ago....TREATED). the past weekend i was still trying to fight the cold, i lost the fight though. feeling defeated i was rummaging through my newly cleaned closet(it was bad) and found this sweater dress i bought at macys about a year ago. it saved my day, teamed with mustard yellow leggings and my sweater boots, i looked good...OOWW!!!
