A Women Should have.....

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...

one old love she can imagine going back to...and one who reminds her how far
she has come...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE.

enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own even
if she ever wants to
or needs to...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE.

a youth she's content to leave behind....

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE.

a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old
age....

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE.

a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE.

one friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her cry...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE.

a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her
family...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE.

eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal that
will make her guests feel honored...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE.

a feeling of control over her own destiny...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

how to fall in love without losing herself.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

HOW TO QUIT A JOB,

BREAK UP WITH A LOVER,

AND CONFRONT A FRIEND WITHOUT RUINING THE FRIENDSHIP...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

when to try harder... and WHEN TO WALK AWAY...


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

that she can't change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

that her childhood may not have been perfect...but it's over...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

what she would and wouldn't do for love... (or her Job)

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

how to live alone... even if she doesn't like it...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

whom she can trust,

whom she can't,

and why she shouldn't take it personally.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

where to go...

be it to her best friend's kitchen table...

or a charming inn in the woods...

when her soul needs soothing...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

what she can and can't accomplish in a day...a month...and a year...

Thug Life

" Remember the lack of a conscience, compassion, and mercy.... "

Street Boogie

Serbian born, but brooklyn based photographer Boogie documents street life. From Sau Paulo, to Tokyo, and up to New York, Boogie travels into the worlds of drug addicts, prostitutes, gang members, skin heads, and the children all caught in these surroundings.

It's heartbreaking and beautiful all at the same time. His lens captures all the proper angles, lighting and subjects that make it a perfect shot, but at the same time you see the reality behind it and it is terrifying.

Speechless

I feel the need to reiterate that personal style is a must. However that being said...it can go to far, and yes sometimes you do need a "2nd opinion". And when I say "2nd opinion" I mean the opinion of a trusted friend who only has your best interest in mind. Not your drunken man who would f**k you not matter what you had on.

For instance, when Amber Rose put this lil number on and then turned to Kanye and said " Baby, what do you think? does this look good." When Kanye looked up from his henny and coke cocktail, all he saw ASS, and then he replied " Hell yea my baby looks good." (insert some more x-rated comments and actions here) However, my point is... that Amber Rose most likely questioned this outfit initially for a good reason, and Kanye was to drunk and horny to relay any sound fashion expertise. (that he normally has)

Next time sweetie, grab your iPhone/blackberry and send a picture message to one of your girls and see what they think. It could've saved you this pix on the net........you don't see rhi rhi's fashion sense slippin do you? Hell to the NO, that women takes a physical whippin and keeps on tickin...

Pull it together Amber, I would say your better then that but I am not sure yet. But you're definitely supposed to be....so yea pull it together. Oh and fire your stylist :) You look like your doing a guest appearance on the Real Housewife's of Atlanta..

Note to self

When an ex says " Be Honest " they really mean : " Tell me what I want to hear"

DO NOT BE HONEST WITH THEM!!!
