Been a While

It's been a while since I've posted. I've been under the weather and pretty busy. Feeling a little stressed out. I can't wait for my daily summer routine to kick in so I can get out of the house more and start gaining experience in digital media and entertainment. I hope this summer goes extremely well for me. I also have an ED2010 panel I'm attending on Wednesday on How to Become a Top-Notch Fashion Writer. Hoping to learn alot as well as meet new people. Side-Note: I received free tickets to see The Internship starring Owen Wilson and Vince...

The Great Gatsby Review

The fourth adaptation of F.Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel has given Iron Man a run for it's money this past weekend. But while the movie is doing financially well many critics say the film just does not live up to expectation. Overall, the film isn't bad. It's not spectacular. I wouldn't blame anyone for waiting until the movie came to TV screens. But it's decent. Many of the actors just weren't believable. You have to understand, when you bring a book to the big screen it is crucial to make those characters come to life. Fans of the book have...

Scandal

I know I said I would post a review of The Great Gatsby but I decided to post it tomorrow when the movie is in theaters. I have an interview in the morning so this will be a short post. Mostly, my mind is still on that Scandal episode. OH MY GOD! Of all the people I thought was the mole, David Rosen was never it. Also, I saw the trailer earlier for Trey Songz (my favorite man in the world) new movie. The man is mostly naked in it AND HAD WATER GOING DOWN HIS BODY. Here's the trailer in case you haven't seen it. Thank you God for the work you...

Party like Gatsby

May 8, 2013 Just got in from a pre-screening of The Great Gatsby. The movie was decent but Leonardo DiCaprio was phenomenal. I'll post my movie review tomorrow. I definitely felt like a movie star. VIP entry, free popcorn, free drinks. If only Khadija was 21, we could've went to the after party at 40/40 club. Oh well. I still had a great time. I can't complain. I also found out DJ Pauly D will be in New York on Friday. I have been trying to see...

Time Career Fair

May 7, 2013 Just finished a virtual career fair with Time, Inc. Working on sending my resume and information to them now. Working for any of their publications would be an absolute honor. I think my particular favorite would be Entertainment Weekly. At the very least, I'm happy I had the opportunity to network with professionals at an amazing company. Wish me luck on my future endeavors. My favorite Entertainment Weekly cover....

Met Gala

So of course I want to show my favorite outfits from last nights Met Ball. 1) Round of applause for Ms. Anne Hathaway. I mean the woman always looks gorgeous but my God she has taken fashion to another level with this dress. Absolutely taken back with both this dress and her in general. 2) Hermione Granger is no more. Emma Watson has grown into a beautiful woman and I love how she takes this dress which is a little risque but makes it look...

New Opportunities

May 06, 2013 Today I received tickets to be apart of the live audience at Jenny McCarthy's new show on Thursday but no one will go with me so I guess that's a no go. On the plus side, I was invited to a pre screening of the Great Gatsby and I just found out my favorite blogger Necole Bitchie is hosting it. I'm going with my friend/angel sister Khadija. They're also having an after party at the 40/40 club but Dija's not 21 yet. But I'm happy to be...

Always busy but happy

May 6, 2013 I literally just finished applying for summer internships and I already have to apply for internships in the fall. It'll all be worth it I suppose in the end. I hope I can get a decent one that's flexible with my class schedule. As for the Justin Timberlake concert, I was all the way in the back but we caught up with him afterwards and he kissed my hand. I guess I really shouldn't be complaining about anything in life again h...

Start of my Summer

May 5, 2013 Very excited to see Justin Timberlake at Roseland Ballroom tomorrow. I also won tickets today to attend the Great Gatsby pre-screening on Wednesday and the after party at 40/40 club. My summer vacation has just gotten started and it's already epic. I really want to make this the best summer ever since I have to start being an adult this time next year. ...
