I hope you all watched JLO On AMA
If you missed it, please log on here.
 This dress is so stunning and beautiful. She never seems to surprise me. Despite what the media has to say about this woman. She is fierce. She is a true business woman. In the midst of all her current drama with her personal life, she put on an amazing performance and even topped it off with an award. Way to go Jennifer.

Oprah's Letter To YOU

On September 8, 1986, the first national episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show was broadcast into homes across America. Now, 25 years later, Oprah steps onto the stage for the last time to share her greatest lessons and hopes for her viewers. __________________________________________


"After deliberating for some time, we decided to do what we do best, and that is a show about and with everyday people. This show always allows people, hopefully, to understand the power they have to change their own lives. If there's one thread running through each show we do, it is the message that you are not alone. Twenty-five years and I'm still saying thank you, America. Thank you so much. There are no words to match this moment. Every word I've ever spoken from this stage of The Oprah Show for 4,561 days of my life is what this moment is all about.

"When I came here, I was about to turn 30 years old. I didn't have a vision or a lot of great expectations. Stedman talks about vision all the time, but I didn't have one when I came here. I just wanted to do a good job and cause no harm. ... That first day was a shock to me. There was no audience. There I am in my best Anne Klein II velour outfit, my guests were a few Chicago football players, New Year's Day, 1984. ... I needed people. I needed to have you to gauge how things were going during the show, if you were responding, if you were laughing, if you were tracking with me. So after that first show, we put up some folding chairs in the audience. We brought in the staff. Secretaries. Anybody we could find in the building and filled the first rows with staff people and the rest with people off the street that we bribed with doughnuts and coffee, and we'd say, 'Come in.'

Women I Admire
I woke up this morning in such a vibrant mood. Maybe it has something to do with my new home or the fact that I'm back in the gym, but whatever it is, I'm present to it and am loving it.
I decided to pot a few pics of the ladies i strongly admire, that you will or may all know. I have a few friends that would make this list, but you will not be able to relate or to feel what I'm trying to do here.
These women all inspire me so much.
They are brave. Smart. Beautiful. Intelligent. Survivors. True Examples or REAL women.
These are my picks.

Tamia & Family

Ms.Vanzant

Joyce Myers

Sade

Maya Angelou

Mrs.Obama

At Last, but NOT least OPRAH

Ok as always when I'm watching videos (of all kinds) My eyes are always looking for fashion fashion fashion treats. As i was building my portfolio for a young women's group i do along with Unique Ladies Colleen and Natasha, i got a bunch of pictures together of when i was a little girl...let me tell you how i could see my love for fashion all over those photos. It was so amazing to see this. Anyhow i was watching the new Kelly and Nelly (i like these two) video and ohhhh my look at the shoes Kelly is wearing here.

OK so I'm getting ready to go off on vacation with my boys and i went "browsing" this morning very early before anyone hit the malls....ohhh my so many summer dresses to choose from. As if i don't have enough of these already.

The maxi style trend never gets old. It is loved in all cities and countries, suitable for all ages, and available in many shapes and sizes. Some women like them because they can show off their slim shape and others prefer them to hide flaws. I like them for both. Depends onmy day. But these dresses will never run out of style. No matter when or where, be sure to have your Maxi Dress. Log onto this link and view some HOT HOT HOT dresses.

Ok i had to post these shoes Kim Kardashian wore to the movie premier for UNKNOWN with her mother. This woman is starting to make it on my "A" game list. I must say she has totally grown on me. To a point where I'm actually looking forward to her Reality show on Sunday nights and happy to be getting my higher cable package that Keeno recently ordered just so i can watch more of The Kardashians on TV. Of course that is not why he and my foster son got it but they do know that that is why I'm looking forward to it.
These Christian Louboutin shoes are HOT!!!!!!

Chanal and Sarah Burton's runway deput for Alexander McQueen

Talk about POWER!!!
Did you get to watch this show yesterday?

It was amazing. Made me feel like i need to get out and really WORK my behind off to accomplish my goals.

They even had airport dogs  and scanners at the check in line. But who can really blame Chanel for wanting to protect everyone and everything.

If you missed the show log on here and enjoy this video.
