Monif C. Spring 2012: Gimme Gimme Gimme

Zakiyyah — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 05:01:05 +0000

Okay the ad may not look exactly like this, but the point remains that that the ridiclously talented thick snack designer, Monif C. has released the Spring 2012 collection and I want everything. So, I decided to try on everything. I look damn good if I do say so myself.

My legs are so much lighter than my face though. That Beyonce’ skin lightening technique is working wonders below my neck. Carry on.

Dear Gods of Flyness: Please Reunite These Fly Couples

Zakiyyah — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 05:01:24 +0000

Seal and Heidi. Blah

Katy and Russell. Blah-er

Ashton and Demi. Blah-er-er

The Kardashian and the guy from Twighlight Kris Humphries. Goodnight cruel world.

On the spectrum of fucks that I actually give about anything, celebrity splits rank pretty low. How much I care about the demise of a relationship that isn’t my own directly correlates to how fly they were as a couple.

I still hope against hope and wish against wish that than Kayne West and Amber ‘finethanamutha ‘Rose would stop all this foolishness so that I can be whole again as a person. Not to mention that being with ‘Ye would take Amber’s sangin career a bit more feasible.

Nas and Kelis hurt my entire life when they split. I really think that was around the time I decided that I was in desperate need of therapy. My mental break can be directly attributed to the hip hop’s God and his Bossy RnB chick.

Oh Lance and Eva. Eva and Lance. I was looking forward to being your kid’s godmother. Now, I’ll never know that feeling of being kin to the Pigford-Gross clan.
