Ladies, Ladies, Ladies!

What is going on?? This must have been a hair show or a practical joke! How in the world could you come outside with orange & white hair with Kool-Aid written on the back?? What is going on with us when we think it’s ok, or cute to be seen in public like this??

I am all for stepping out the box, but lets admit, this is back-flipping out the box with your eyes shut(lol)!  Don’t misunderstand me now, I love & appreciate a nice hair weave that is done tastefully. But correct me if I’m wrong, aren’t weaves suppose to appear real?? I know mine always do(lol)!  But seriously, we have to do better as women, especially my black women. This is just pure foolery. One should never put a color of the rainbow in their hair, its just tacky, or should I say Yacky? (lol)

Stay Fab Yall!



In My White T

This is for the fellas! Now guys…I have absolutely nothing wrong with the “white T” look! I love a nice crisp white T with a pair of hot jeans and the kicks have to be fire! Let’s keep it real though, some of y’all abuse the white T look by using and abusing your white T’s! I’ve seen some guys walking around thinking they are so fresh and their white T is dingy and old! Let me help you out…the only way you can rock a white T to the club is if it’s brand spankin new! This should not be a problem because they are very in-expensive and you can get em’ 4 for $20! It’s a totally different story if your out running errands or working etc. My problem lies with the fellas that want to keep washing the same white T and wearing it to the club every weekend, lol! When it comes to white T’s you only get 1 or 2 wears out of them-3 you’re pushing it! If this is the look you want to go for remember: make sure your white T is bright, white and crisp:) HOLLA!



Cutting Up the Sheets

Everyone loves to cuddle between the sheets… especially when it’s cold outside! There’s nothing more sweet than cuddling with your lover or even a love interest. When the socks are off and you two are under the covers, please make sure you have a pedicure. Your feet aren’t supposed to be as rough- if not rougher than the man you’re cuddling with! Even if you can’t get to the nail salon there are pedicure kits you can buy for those in between visits. Trust me, it’s not lady like for your feet to be so rough that they make noises when you brush them against the sheets! Be sure to soak your feet ever so often and keep a pumice sponge and foot file handy, keep them feminine!



The 4 Seasons

It’s such a wonderful thing when the seasons change! But… ladies your wardrobe must change like the seasons. We don’t want to see women wearing belly shirts and flimsy clothes when there’s snow on the ground. Turtle necks and hot corduroys when it’s eighty degrees!  Sure, there will be transitional pieces that can be worn all year long like, jeans a blazer or blouse. The key to having a closet that is perfect for all seasons is to clean your closet out at the beginning of each season. Do your shopping ahead of time (the sales will be there)!  Make sure you check the weather because that will play a major part in  deciding your outfit for the day.  Stay fabulous throughout all four seasons!



The Most Un-Sexy…

Girls, girls, girls! Take a little time to evaluate your panty drawer. If you have more bloomers than anything else you need to hit Victoria’s Secret immediately! I’ve surveyed a few men and they all say,” the grandma drawers have to GO”! You are definitely putting on a show when you have light colored bottoms on and big panties that show through these bottoms. You might as well just walk around in your drawers, cause they are out there! If comfort is the way you want to go, guess what? There are comfortable panties that you can wear with invisible panty lines! Ladies, men only give you a big panty pass once a month all other times are un-acceptable! Even if it is that time of the month it’s not that difficult to have comfort concealed;) I know you all read my blogs and say, wow MeMe really goes hard at the ladies! I go hard for one reason…I want us ladies to bring SEXY BACK!



Enough is Enough!

Every one’s got their problems and addictions. Some people may be drug addicts, gamblers,alcoholics or of course my addiction, shopaholics! But…when it comes to self mutilation I just don’t understand this one. How can you be addicted to body piercings?  You have got to be down right out of your mind to pierce your body so many times, that you can’t count your piercings on both hands!

 As I looked for visuals for this blog I began to feel nauseous…these pictures were unbelievable! How could you pierce DOWN THERE! I couldn’t post them up here, lol! Not to mention the fact that you have to be an extremely clean and sanitary person when it comes to piercings because they can easily get infected. Can you just imagine??  I myself am not a fan of piercings, but to each it’s own. They say pain is pleasure, but I say…Keep em’ clean!

Now, I ‘ve been going on & on about what us women need to improve on, but fellas, you gotta be kidding me! @ what point in time did skinny leg jeans become OK for YALL to wear?!?! Call me old school, but I love my men to have some swag with everything that they do, especially when it comes to dressing.

Now when I was younger, like in high school, I loved the extra-baggy look on boys. But now a days I love to see a man wearing a nice pair of jeans that fit. BUT there’s a difference between fitted & tight,tapered, or being so tight that you can see the entire package! OOPS! Did I say that? I’m trying to be as honest as I can possibly be without crossing the line, guys! 

OK, here are a few pointers. I did a little research & asked a male friend who is very much into fashion, & does it well. Rock and Republic Jeans, Paper Denim & Cloth, and even the throw back, Levi’s are some brands that make jeans that fit nice without showing the exact shape of your calf muscle.. lol! Go on and walk into Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus or Bergdorf Goodman and try them on! See what a difference it makes in fit.

Men you have to be the finest things walking the planet! I thank God for you EVERYDAY! But please, get it together! Leave it to us women to wear the jeans that look like they’re painted on, trust me, just your walk alone tells us whats going on..ladies,*wink wink*

I love you all & know that your masculine side will dominate your feminine side when you read this blog! smooches!

Stay Fab Yall!



Crack Kills!

We all know that jeans can be our favorite item in the closet. If we are rocking jeans we have to rock them right. If the style of the jean calls for a belt do not ignore the belt loops. Belts are accessories that every woman should own in different styles, sizes and colors! If you’re not obeying this fashion rule, every time you bend over your crack shows! We are women not plumbers and for the record…CRACK KILLS!



OK, this is a major problem for women in the urban communities. Ladies we are raised to grow up and believe that we are beautiful Queens! Why is it that we insist on wrapping our heads in scarves and or head wraps, and going out into public in the middle of the day? Now don’t get me wrong, there are exceptions to this. If you are on your way to a hair appointment, fine. If it is early in the morning, OK. If it is really late at night, understandable. But if it is Saturday afternoon, the sun is shining and you walk out of your house with a pair of pajama pants and your hair is still wrapped up from the night before, that says a lot about the type of woman you are.

Unwrap that hair, let the world see it girl! 9 out of 10 times the reason it’s wrapped up is because we’ve just gotten a fresh doobie (lol) WE know what those are…but take the rag off, create that part in your scalp and comb it on down. If your hair isn’t done, just throw on the GUCCI bucket, baseball cap or a cute little beret’! Even if you’re just going to the store, you never know who you’ll run into! In the words of my girl, the uber so FABULOUS Kimora Lee Simmons, ” DRESS EVERY DAY LIKE YOU’RE GOING TO SEE YOUR WORST ENEMY!” words to live by ladies, & trust me, you’ll meet plenty of men too! *wink wink*

( big shout out to my girl Danielle Langston on this one! inside joke :0) )

Stay Fab Yall!



Surprise!

EYEBROWS!!!! In my opinion these are the most important areas of your face and cannot be neglected. The shape of your eyebrows can define the look of your face. Be careful and choosy about who you let shape your eyebrows. If you choose to shape them yourself, there are guides and cheat sheets that will help you create the perfect shape according to the way your eyebrows grow. DO NOT shave them off and draw them on your face! Ladies, we all love surprises but we don’t want to walk around looking surprised all day everyday! Plus, this is such a tacky and un-polished look and we don’t want that. If this is something that you’ve been doing it’s ok…just grow them back and wax on wax off!
