New Music Video: Amerie - Heard 'Em All

Amerie's is back with her new-jack-swag [as in, her new attempts at swagger-jackin]. Heard 'Em All is the second single [the first one was Why R U] from her new album Love and War. The video was directed by Anthony Mandler who obviously has an obsession with the dark as his CV boasts video such as Disturbia and Run This Town. You would have probably noticed this within the first few seconds of the video as the lighting, bad-ass/evil theme, blah blah.

The red-riding hood Amerie 'rocks' in the video is obviously supposed to symbolise danger. How smart! I mean, who would think of that! However, the only danger here is that the tidal wave that is Rihanna will crash down on her weak image and wipe out any chance of succes as the Disturbed singer is planning to release new material soon [great... I can't wait to hear Rihanna's 'will yell for fame' ass ruining good beats].

Now, the song. Yet again, Amerie is screeching in vain like a car horn among millions of other cars in traffic. No one cares and it's not going to get her anywhere. Not to mention, the song is all over the place. The verses are like one bar long before she starts chanting 'hooo-heyy-hooo', then drilling 'keep doin somethin cos something aint been done to me' into us.

Random thing I noticed - During the first verse she's accompanied by what looks like all-black dancers; the second verse she is surrounded by Lady Gaga dopplegangers. Why? Is there a message behind this? I know the Illuminati theorists are usually jump at the chance to analyse stuff like this but I doubt even they consider Amerie's video a 'hot' topic [but then again, it was warm enough for me to write about it!].


Pros: She looks good...but she always does so it's whatever. The beat could be a grower, if you're really desperate and have nothing else to do for the next couple of weeks.

Cons: Her poor attempt at a West-Indian accent in the beginning.

Uninspiring, unexciting, unrelated choreography [what's up with the dancing in her awkwardly, slow breakdown at 3.00mins?].


QUICK ROUND UP- She's pretty and the video is pretty dull. The beat is sassy so single girls will love it because they can point at their friends on the dancefloor and sing about how they don't need a man, their independence etc. Girls who have men will hate the song because it will be a constant reminder of their man's obsession with A's legs. Everyone else will hope that there is a remix.

Before I finish, there's this one thing, that had me trippin'....she start's the song singing....

"It's Amerie,
I took a lil time out,
Took a vacation, but boys I'm back"

Erm, what vacation?? Amerie has got it all twisted, WE took a vacation on her ass. Did you download her last single, Gotta Work? Nope.

Amerie, Let us know when your planning another vacation so we can take the ear plugs out. Heard 'em all...we've heard enough, thanks.

Amerie.....please get back to these days...

*I am* Hood in my mismatched checked pyjamas and off to get ready for Yinkz B'day meal. WOOOOO!!! HAPPY BDAY TO 'The girl of many funny tales'!!!

We did it like that and now we do it like this...

Sooooo....it's 5.17am and what am I doing....go on, guess.......yep - I'M HERE!!!! I'm overly hungry and I'M HERE!!!

[I'm posting just to get me back into the swing of thangs so bare with me]

It's been a busy one, as usual. I came back from spain [my fourth and final getaway] two weeks ago then jumped straight into a two week placement at RWD magazine so I should just slide straight into the blog right? Wrong! I'm rusty! Along with many other 'skills' I have, my writing isn't as speedy gonzalez as it used to be :( Dahwell. It will be in about *looks at watch* 5 posts. Hopefully!

I was just about to post Amerie's new video but I've just noticed they are showing the 300th re-run of Juelz Santana's MTV Cribs. For obvious reasons, I am going to watch it then go to bed with my laptop by my head and wake up to blogging guilt and slight [JR's]writer's block.

See you in the morning for cheerios and iced out milk!

*I am* SOoooooo hungry my ribs are eating themselves and Proper laughing at how Hood Juelz's crib is......all that money and no taste *smh*

Wish I could eat one of these right now but I'd have to go back to Sweden...

....this ice cream place was oh-soo good....I gotta find the best ones out here in London before my birthday and do another 7-day bonanza....ARRGGHHHH TIME IS DOING A RUNNER!!!!!

"Fo' real doe...let's get dis real dough!"

When Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence dusted off those matted weaves to bring their famous characters, Wanda and Sheneneh, back to life I was very happy. I still laugh at this comedy short, 'Skank Robbers', which was made exclusively for the BET '09 awards...hopefully this film will be made into a reality....

Update on the waste state

I haven't blogged for a while and I have many reasons/excuses/dilemmas [Boring. Next sentence please...] but lets just fuggedaboutit and keep things moving.

Today I cooked sunday dinner. It was no chicken affair though, instead, lucky pieces of salmon were seasoned in my secret recipe! Honestly, it was very tasty...very!

• Suggested cooking time of salmon: 20mins
• Ditto of small potatoes: 30mins
• Ditto of Roasted peppers/boiled veg: However long I decide to torture the vegetables for
• Ditto of Gravy: 2mins

I'm not very good at maths but if someone can tell me why it took THREE hours to cook that hot-ass meal [by hot-ass I mean the fiery pits of the oven burning my innocent face] be my rhetorical guest. I was going to take an Marks and Spencer type picture of my dinner but couldn't be bothered. I was, and still am, fat[igued] from the last of my jetsetting around Spain. I will do a mini post on the pros and cons on the four holidays I went on this summer....yes, four! Portugal, New York, Sweden and Spain don't pay for themselves you know! I worked so much in between those trips that on one occasion I went to work a few hours after I got back from the airport. Soldier or Slave....or maybe they hooked up.

*I am* HOOD AND PROPER.

Ducks

Yes. That WAS what happened. Now....this is what is GOING to happen. No technical/physical/mental/menstrual [t.m.i] nonsense. They always becomes the fool-proof excuse [even when true] for things that go wrong in my life. As much as my life has been helter-skelter for the past few months, I'm going to change that all! I know who is reading this now and I aim to show and prove what I can do to you!

I've been a rubber duck for too long. Fame driven monsters are taking over......I shall morph into a Mighty Duck. This blog is Emilio Estevez.

*I am* Hood and Proper stuffed because of Nandos & a Strawberry Cornetto McFlurry

Dip-dip dip......set

Cam'ron, and whatever else is left of Dipset, always make me laugh for reasons that I'm sure I would probably deny if ever I was cornered by them. Actually.....no - I definitely think I would keep to that first statement.



Anyways, here's Killa Cam doing his usal nonsense, that at random, makes me laugh.

All he says is "...ERIC"?!?!?! Why do I find it sooo funny....I just don't know why!

I'm soooooooooo tired from my friend's bday!!! AND I gotta pack for Sweden as I am leaving tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!

The word is....

I'm back from NY. yay. obviously I am not happy about it! I wanna go back and everytime I think about it this rap song comes into my head....they sample the words "take me back take me back"...[arghhhh I always do this....i gotta go find what it is now....].

I will do a lil post soon .....I realise that I always say this and it doesn't happen. Yes. This is because I am always doing something long-ass. I was shopping today for something for my FAMILY members to wear at MY graduation...meanwhile....MY outfit is non-existent. I was gonna make one then halfway through making a paper pattern I threw my hands up like a thief caught in the headlights and gave up....DAHHHHWELLLLLLLL!!!! I got me a backupz so its all-to-tha-good-in-tha-hood!

Oh and I will do an MJ post soon [literally my heart was torn in pieces when I found out....on some level I didn't think my hard-nut-self would experience].

By the way...what is this.....

OH NO YOU DON'T KANYE *wagging finger* Maybe you fooled us with the yeezy's don't you dare try and bring back the Timberland's. That's all I beg of you.....please. Please. I don't have nothing against it.....I just feel like you're purposely trying to test your celeb-power...."Will they follow my Timbs flex...? If they do I shall re-invent the Timbs for my next trick.....".

I was going to do a proper post but I am sick [I have been sick since I went to Portugal....if you don't believe me ask my blogger friends.....I'm going to have some scary injections soon to see if I get better]. And I am off to the shops tomorrow.....the last day before my Graduation [how ironic....the topics bout Kanye and Graduation....not really is it?]. I shall brave the horrible weather.....my runny nose/head cold/severe sinus problems to go shopping....for moi?....oh no no no....FOR MY FAMILY!!!!!!!!! Apparantly I am the stylist for the Graduation photos.....I don't mind though.......I'ma cop some heat for them so we can stunt on the losers who gave me crappy grades ahahahaa!!!

Kick-a-Licks: Nike Air Tech Challenge Hybrid

"Broker than a joker but I had to get these trainers,

But I got 'em on a discount - forty percent to be particular,

Should I get da white or black - both are so hot,

But the black is in nubuck, like leather, it's so soft."

[I rap on the weekends lol!]

My trainers have been getting rewinds like all the time since I bought them last week - I can't stop wearing them! I think it's cos I have a thing for shoes/kicks that are nubuck/suede. It just feels so good when you can run your fingers over 'em and they feel like a freshly, shaved cat or something [errr the cat was the first thing that came to mind].

If my kicks called talk they would probably sound like Barry White when he was on the block macking on all the hoodchicks......that kinda hoodsmooth that girls just love.... yea....THAT'S how smooth these are....
Oh - remember that rapper, Smooth......no.....okay! I used to really like her song, 'Strawberries', when I was a lil girl....I was in love with the beat so much. I now know that it was because of the Patrice Rushen sample she used.....dahwell...the 90's had heaps of sampled/original songs that are way better than the trash I hear nowadays. Enjoy and Goodnight/Goodmorning!

Hmmm....I have to think about what I will wear to a meal @ TGI Friday's tomorrow [YUM - JACK DANIELS SAUCE!!!].....I gotta remember to wear something that will hide my stomach well so I can shovel loads food into my pie-hole!!!

*I am* Angry my early morning Scrubs is not on cos of Big Brother and Proper tired

Erm....yeah.

The technician dude, who I spoke about in an earlier post, left me a voicemail message this afternoon. It was something along the lines of:

"I won't be at the store on Monday so you can call me on my personal number and we can talk about the installation of the music software.....my number is [this is where he usually mentions the store's number....this time he says his OWN number....]"

ERMMMMM.......yeah.


I told my mum I don't trust giving my laptop away because people can snoop through it all day and night if they want and I would be none the wiser. I wouldn't be suprised if the staff have looked at my personal photos and bits and bobs of my life I have saved on MS Word.

Apparently, the service they did on my laptop can be done in a day. They have had my laptop for two weeks. I phoned up once and some dude was like:

"Oh yeah....you're Miss ***- ****.......yeah the techician was on your laptop most of the day yesterday......he's not here now but I will have a look at it now and see how it's doing.....".


I hate not knowing what they are doing with it!!!!! I just want my life - I mean - laptop back lol!!!
I dunno bout this music software....it's not worth the cringey-ness of phoning some invisible technician outside of his work hours......especially since he ended the voice-message with:

'.....and yeeaa I hope you enjoy your evening..... and get back to me......"

Erm.....??????????

Sunday...the day when the sun always shines the brightest...

I love the fact that whenever I go to church during the summer, the sun shines even brighter than usual! I like blue skies when the pastor preaches...it adds to the encouraging messages. Today's message was along the lines of not letting other people's negative thoughts about us become all we are....or facts be the end of the story [or somethin' like that lol]. Yeah, so at the moment I am a lil worried about my uni results as two of them are really REALLY good, one is alright and the other is so bad I feel like complaining to my Uni! I got them on friday and I am yet to find out my final overall grade until later notice but I have already told myself I will be getting my desired grade [ahahaha.....brave, ain't I!]. I am soooooo cool with whatever I get now because I know that if it is in God's will for me to have a bad grade here or there I should learn from it and work on it. I learnt quite a great deal about myself as a person in Uni, so I will take a lot of posisitve material from the experience and smile, irrespective of my final grade. I will not be brought down by what other people may say about not getting a first class degree etc I know that I am destined for much bigger things than a photograh hanging above the television of me holding a scroll of paper, wearing a rent-a-robe, a weird hat with a tassle [even though I can't wait to wear that hat hahaha], and a smile I practiced and perfected the night before. With my determination, [sorry if I'm sounding cliched - I am being real though ha!] I know I will have more than one thing for my parents to hang on the wall.....period. dot. blank

I heard this song by Coko [the leader of the SWV gang] just before I read my results....I always wanted to know who sung this but my stupid ass didn't look it up 'til today!

*I am* Hood and Proper focused mayn

The Channel AKA Files: "...While I do my BIZNAAAAAAAAZ...."

[Before I go on - for those who don't know, Channel AKA used to be called Channel U until a few months ago.....it's a music video channel that shows videos from any Tom, Dick or Harry......or in this case any Jerome, Nathan or Leon. Basically, it shows 'Urban' music videos that anyone can send in...literally, ANYONE! This opens the door for raw talent and cringeworthy music videos. All in all, it's jokes !]

....whenever I spell the word 'business' as 'biznaaaaz' I am paying homage to Shimmer, a UK videogirl [she says she's an MC but I beg to differ]. The first time I saw her in the Casso Blax video, 'Hollywood', I thought to myself, "wowwww....Amy Winehouse is doing THESE sorta videos now.....someone's light bill ain't been paid for a long'un...", cos they really do look like twins. Both are kinda ghetto in there own way...one spends more time in court than on the stage and is on whatever her 'friends' give her to inhale/inject whilst the other is....erm...just another hoodchick. The similarities end there though....one has talent....the other will be the first to tell you she knows a girl who's ex-boyfriend's cousin's barber is seeing a girl called Talent'ia.

Anyways, back to the matter at hand [familiar lyric...?], in the 'Hollywood' video, Shimmer seems to really enjoy saying the word 'business'. She's trying to do that thing where a rapper discovers a really cool word/phrase/a 'unique' way of saying words and they repeat them constantly. I can't really think of how to explain it but put it this way - how many times did Joe Budden repeat the final word of his sentences in 'Pump It Up'......nope- I dunno either! But, it was effective wasn't it? [insert answer here = _ _ _] However, the only effect Shimmer causes is the mind to ponder on how someone can sound so wasted and wiggidy-whack in such few bars??? And all the crawling'n'slithering she does in the video is creepy. So are her close up shots....too much eyeball - not eneough iris. However, I'm always quoting her remarkable twist on the word 'business' [BEEEZNAAAAAAZ]. My friends do it too [sometimes.....well...once one of 'em - okay it's just me dammit!!!].

The video itself hides the itty-bitty budget they had for the video in the usual way.....black backdrop/low lighting so the viewer cannot tell who's living room it was filmed in....a few girls/guys from the endz making a priceless [as in FREE] cameo for their fifteen minutes o' fame. As they [I] say, "...Channel AKA keep the insurance adverts away...".

Note: Shimmer rips the mic at 1.50secs....

Fuzzy characters and bubbles

Why do coke adverts always have to look so politcally correct and dream-like? Like this advert I just saw today.....it's sooooo cute and the music, courtesy of Calvin Harris, is even better than most adverts. There's just one thing about the advert that I don't like......the product. I don't like coke, I despise coke. But this advert makes me wanna become a coke-head*correction* coke drinker.

"...Independent queen working for her throne...."

I know it's old but this song is still on point! It's a shame I couldn't make it to the video shoot though....especially as the song is about me.... :P

On the subject of Jamie Foxx.....I love his song, 'VIP', so much...it's such an underrated slow-jam....I could listen to this all day....

*I am* Hood and Got my oowwn (woooaahh woaah woaah woooaah)

Spring [Summer] Clean!!

When I went to Portugal, my plan was to eat ice-cream and chill by the sea. No crazy-shopping. No H&M stalking. So you can imagine how stupid I felt when I came back with a whole heap of stuff.......vintage clothes, sunglasses, skirts, t-shirts, bags, etc....I mean, c'mon. How did I manage to go on a shooping spree in friggin PORTUGAL!?!??! It was soooo hot but still I wanted to lumber myself with more clothes. I say this because I have a major problem at home....I cannot move in my room....it's soooo congested with clothes and stuff I can honestly say [after attending some therapy sessions] I don't actually wear. My room currently looks like this at the moment because I'm trying to sort out what I'm gonna keep/sell/tear up into oil rags/send to Ghana [don't ask...it's an African thang lol]....

I will be happy to see my room finally sorted out.....but it's going to get worst because....I gotta bring my stuff from my room on campus [ARGHHHHHHHH] aaaaaand.......I'M GOING TO NEW YORK in two weeks!!!!WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Then I'm going to Sweden and Spain in August......no I am not rich - I'm using the last bit of my student loan money! I'm planning to be broke after all these holidays anyways [like I can choose to be broke or not ahahaha]. I wish those 'house makeover' teams could come and magically build a walk in wardrobe in my room.....[I just got a flashback of how I used to wish that I was in 'The Lion, Witch and The Wardrobe' and incessantly open my wardrobe and hope to see snow and that....I was an only child with a busy imagination].

*I am* Thanking God......I just saw a glimpse of my Uni results....still Hood.....maybe Proper....

Why.....just, why...?

I do not like Ed Hardy. Everyone else does. I don't. I could go on and on about how much I do not like the juxtaposition of ferocity and diamonte logos etc but I won't. My annoyance needs its own post [I don't want to do it now because I'm about to watch Jake - whoops - I meant to say 'Jarhead'... :)]. Whilst watching a video of Dizzee Rascal fall off stage [it's not that funny....I would have posted it if it was], I came across this video of 'The Ed Hardy Song'....I thought it was going to be a joke......it is....but the people who made it are very serious. I actually feel sorry for that Audigier guy [did I spell it wrong- oh well]......the 'urban' kids are gonna rinse this brand like they did with Iceberg History. This 'song' [lol] may cause Audigier to do a Hilfiger on us soon. If you know what I mean! I shall leave you to listen at your own risk.....

*I am* Hood and Mr Loverman SHABBAAAAaaaaa

"...'Ow do you say Deee-Groovy..."

I now know the reason why I got a virus on my lappy tappy. It was because of one particular song that I really really really wanted to listen to on repeat whilst soaking up the sun and watching the waves roll about on the beach in Portugal. I couldn't find a legit website for mp3's and out of desperation I kinda decided to download from anywhere and hope for the best. However, the worst happened, and yadda yadda ya.... . I still want this song even though it will remind me of viruses from now on.......

It really annoys me that songs like this Deadmau5 track are only played in certain places that I know my peeps wouldn't pay money to go to. Since last year I have said that one day I gotta go to a proper hard trancey/housey/trippy night just to see how long I can dance for.....I would probably last longer than all the druggies the way I dance haha! Can you hear how good this would have sounded on the beach? When I go on my next beach holiday this summer I shall definitely have this on heavy ipod rotation! All that was blasted out of our boomPod in Portugal was Kings of Leon [courtesy of Yinkz aka Miss Lazy and Confused] .....literally....EVERYDAYYYYY!!!!! I like 'em but she was tryna brainwash us on some next levels!

I was supposed to make a mixtape in May of all the songs that make me smile/nostalgic to mark the end of an era. I haven't got round to it yet but I'm gonna post bits and bobs of it on here. Of course Deee-Lite 'Groove Is In The Heart' featuring Bootsy Collins and Q-Tip has got to be on it! Their name says it all ... Deee Lite made songs that would delight yo' ears! This song has become a bit of a novelty record which annoys me because its is soooooo sick! Yes, the song was basically two old funk tunes slapped together like a sandwich with the fabulously drag-looking lead singer as the ham but who cares! Groove's in the mutha-funkin heart mayn......

[I couldn't get the real video so I got this 'good dvd copy' remake for you instead ha! Enjoyyy.....]

Whenever I hear songs like this I go into New Jack Swing mode - no joke - I'm serious! I can't help but dance like the Fresh Prince ahaha! Play both the videos below at the same time and you will get an idea of how I can act real dumb when I dance to these songs sometimes ;)

[In the post before this I said I was going to pick up my laptop. Well, when the technician phoned me about my laptop this morning we ended up talking about how I make music ....apparantly the technician makes music too so he knew my pain when he told me he has to wipe my hardrive....anyways I found out he has a music program I've been tryna get hold of for free since forever....ahem.... I kinda asked him to install it on my laptop cos I don't wanna pay £150 for it HAHAHAHA...buuuuuuut he didn't call back to tell me to pick it up from the store like he said he would.... I am assuming it was really busy at their store or ......he is doing me a favour.... I'm praying for the latter :) ]

*I am* Hood up/ face down when I walk around my area at this time of night and Proper freaked out by that guy who was standing near my house...

"Deadline is over"....and so is student life...

I hated my uni [because it was so disorganised and rubbish - a lot of teaching drama etc] but I loved learning stuff and the crazy people I allowed to befriend me [lol]. The name of the third and final end of year party/rave/prom was terribly cringey....'Irresistaball' [I shudder]...but it was still fun!

I decided to ditch the new dress I was gonna wear because it was didn't allow me to lunge [I lunge in all of my outfits to make sure they don't hold me back from shaking a leg on tha dancefloor lol]. Even though I always wear something new to the end of year parties, I didn't care.....I had finished uni....that was exciting enough for me to go in a bin liner. No WAY did I wear a bin liner, but I did wear something old. I wore my beautifully vintage NIKE BODYSUIT [THE HOTTEST NIKE BODYSUIT EVER....I love it to death!], my MISS SELFRIDGE PEPLUM DENIM SKIRT, my old'n'fatithful NIKE SB BLAZERS and my MINNIE MOUSE EARS! Unfortunately, the ears don't show up too well in photos because they blend in with my hair colour but they did the trick on the night!!!

Me and tap water.....[So what! I'm a cheap ass and proud of it lol]

The girls surrounding me with their FREE half-eaten candyfloss that NO ONE told me about...losers!!

I love this photo...lol...my comment of facebook says: "JODIE! U LOOK LIKE UR HOLDING AN IMAGINARY CAN OF CRACK!"......you will see why.....me and her both danced harder than a Class A...

"AAHH- PUSH IT......P-PUSH IT REAL GOOOD...duh duh-duh duh duh dur-nur-nur-nur nur..etc..."

Me and Jodie doing the usual......SHUTTIN' IT DOWN WITH THA NEW JACK SWING MOVES!!!!



HEYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!

These dudes! TOOO FUNNY! My old flatmate Ricky [on the left] and his cousin were on some other planet that night...you cant tell by the look on my face that they were nuts!

The dudes at their most calmest....me and the gals had didn't let them out-dance us though...ARE YOU CRAZY? NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO UPSTAGE US lol!

It was a good night....sad too....I knew we would never be students ever again after that night... :(

I did a lil reminiscing over the past three years of uni proms as there were too many random photos from many other raves....here are a few of them from my first year and second year...

The puffiest, pinkest puffball dress ever known to man [and my wardrobe]....I wanted to shock my friends for the 1st year prom because everyone knows how I feel about puffs and pinks...don't do 'em....

Bye-bye Uni.....deadline is over....

*I am* Hood and Proper gonna miss my student life....maybe I should go back.....AHAHAHAHAHA ...aaaaaaAAAAAHHHAAHAHAHAA....WOOOO.....wooo....ahem.

The "aside"....

Today is the day I actually get back to bidness. My blog has been so dead [lol, it's true!]. I have loads of stuff to say and do but I have not been able to write about it since I was in Portugal......then when I came back from what was THE BEST END OF UNI TRIP EVER, I open my laptop....and find a virus. Yes, a virus.

I have been without my laptop since then and today I was told that I should be getting it back. There's a lot of technical trash that I could bore you with but, to put it simply:

My hard drive is going to be wiped clean

I have to re-install ALLLLLLLLL my music software/ plug-ins etc

I will probably have to manually re-install ALL the instruments on EVERY FRIGGIN PIECE OF MUSIC I HAVE MADEon my laptop which is LONG!

[Kara lets go of hair.....and takes a deeeeeeep breath....aaahhhh]

So, I am using my Mum's DEAD laptop which works like a sloth so the next few posts should keep my idle hands entertained until it's time to pick up the lappytappy.....

I am going to work backwards.....starting with my uni prom....which happened in May [AHAHHAHAHA]

*I am* BACK ON THE SCENE, MA FAVOURITE COLOUR IS GREEN[it's actually blue] and Proper

NERD: Hey there...can you help me please...

Here's a lil of the NERD that I liked from the first album....this is off the top of my dome because I cannot remember where I put the actual CD [dahwell!].

Oh yeah some of the tracks off this album were remixed or altered weren't they......because the kicks'n'snares kept changing from acoustic to electronic.....it really annoyed me coz when I used to say that some people told me I was chattin' crap.....I wasn't though.....was I....? I'm sure 'Provider' has many faces....

The end of this video is too cheesy and it always seemed as if Pharrell was airbrushed into a Chinese dude when he's with the kids.....strange....

I love the dudes singing 'Hi-hi-high' in the background....I can't remember what band it was but I love the way their adlibs add a 70's feel to it......kinda like Chicago....

Nautical by Nature!

Last year whilst doing my usual rummage through the hell that is TK Maxx [.....I did work experience there when I was in high school - trust me.....it IS hell] I found a really nice sequin crop jumper.....then I saw the label [See by Chloe].....then I saw the price [£90]. My heart sank.......then I saw the price it used to be [something scary like £300 etc!].....I walked off home with it......was cussed by my mum and told to take it back "...cos you're not rich Kara...you've got to stop this nonsense.....".

Anywho, the first time I wore it I went to a club I had never been to. So, when I got into the venue I got a nice surprise.......THE INTERIOR decided to come dressed as me!!HAHA......

Miss Joanne [above] and Miss Rinnie [next to me below] could have given me a heads up that the wall was gonna try and upstage me.....lol!

There's a point to this post.....my friend, Rachie-Pie, told me that she saw some other losers [celebs] with MY top......



Lindsay the Lo-hoe wore it first in 2007 then her sis, Ali......BORROWED IT earlier this month.....

AND SHE WORE 'BRIDAL WHITE' SHOES WITH IT.......NOOOOOOOOO ALI NOOOOOOoOOOOoooooOO....

So.....who wore it better [and has two fingers pointing back at her face]?.....Was it this guy.....

Hahaha!

*I am* Going to Run......to the Suuuun and Proper by nature

Another day.....another dollar[less]

Me and my friend went out shopping today [Oh?....what a surprise, Kara...] and decided to go all over Camden town and West End. This is like my third time around those ends in the past few days - NOT GOOD - I'm already struggling to lower my spending....it's like throwing a rabbit in front of race dogs....they can't help but to run dammit!

Luckily, I only bought three things [I think] , an orange dress and men's shirt from Primark and some sunglasses from Aldo [whoops - forgot to take a pic of me in those.....back in a jiffy.....]

Okay my skin is overly-oily today [like most days haha] and I'm sorry if the beam from my forehead interrupts your daily routine.....

Sunglasses - £9
Shirt - £7
Dress - £5 [Bargain Bob!]

I think that I did quite well ....luckily the £70 shoes I picked up in Zara didn't leave the shop with me.......and these £35 pound Blue Suede are coming home with me very soon....

I'm so sick of the shops making blue suede shoes.....it's personal now because my penchant for soft blues and furry shoes is being abused! ABUSED! It's like these shops KNOW I like blue suede so they make the shoes in this colour or black......I've already got a pair of black suede heels.....NEXT....damn...those blue suede fringed sandals I bought - I still ain't posted em up yet have I?! My room needs sorting out tommorow so I will post those and my other bits I got last week... [I'm currently torn between watching Scrubs and the Finland entry on the Eurovision Song Contest....both are extremely funny......one, more so than the other....]

Talking about sunglasses made this song pop into my head......I love the strings and the lil dance in the beginning......even though Mark Ronson's 'Ooo Wee' rinsed the hell outta this track, it's still good.....

Random: Lady Gaga's 'PokerFace' was on the radio and that part where she goes 'p-p-p-poker face (m-m-m-more)...' made my Mum go, "Hey - she stole the adlibs from a Boney M song......don't you remember?", [as if me and her grew up back in the day haha]. Here is that Boney M track.... and at 0:50secs you will here the m-m-m-more bit....

*I am* Going off Chicken flavoured Super Noodles coz I've eaten them for too long and Proper switching to Scrubs because I can see someone is about to play an accordion on the Song Contest......

ARGH! and Music

That was freaky like stripper fridays.....I forgot I left the TV on downstairs and all of a sudden I heard some man talking.......my heart actually fainted for a second! Wow!

So my room is really disgusting right about now but I'm too busy to tidy it and my brain is clouded with mixed paths.....I dunno but I don't ......or do I....no.....okay I think I wanna do another course in Journalism to get some free money to keep me afloat or I will end up spending all my dough......I might aswell......or maybe not......I'm gonna get cussed for writing this useless rant [errrr...this isn't a rant....so what is this.....it can't be an 'idea'....that sounds to self-indulgent......rants are kinda like offloading somethin' that just has to be told or you're gonna go nuts.....this is SOOOO not that.....okay I'm sorry for my twitter-esque personal drivel...moving on swiftly...]


I heard this song the other day and I'm very sure there was a remix that I really liked....I can't remember/find it.....but dahwell! The song is depressingly catchy - I think the remix was either Jungle/Trance/Some other crazy 90's type genre.......if anyone has it, please send it!!!!!

I love this remix.......such a good linkage......I'll probably post this again in the near future coz I love it that much!

Okay - random music vid - but this video makes me laugh....I dunno why but I have a weird reaction to certain things are not supposed to be funny [tap dancers are hilarious....especially really old male tappers...too funny!]. I instantly laughed at this video but it's not supposed to be 'haha' funny....I recognise that it's a 'smile/not actually funny'.....but I can't help ma body now can I!

*I am* Fairy Liquid washing up movements before my Mum goes nuts on my lazy ass and Proper

Minnie Hood Mouse

I will post the rest of the night at my end of Uni jam later but I gotta get ready to brave the horrible sounds of kids coming back from school and the heat of the transport to my work meeting .....wish me luck......

Victory!

Okay, I am officially happy!!! Wooo!!!! I finally got my blue suede Unique shoes!!!I posted about 'em a while back!!!! First, I got the 'Essex girl' white snakeskin pair coz they didn't have the blue pair and I needed a backup......

...then I phoned a few Topshop stores and found the blue pair......even though I really want the new green pair now....lol! I dunno if I'm making sense cos I'm typing and talking on the phone about all the gossip from my end of Uni ball/rave etc whateva they called it.....I got loadsa pics to post up from that night of madness with ma uni peeps....soon come....I'm proper tryna multi-task at the moment but it's floppin'......Okay I'm off the phone now....here are some photos...

I got some more blue suede shoes last week.....some fringed sandals.....I can't find 'em right now cos it's under a heap of other clothes I bought.....I went a lil mad last week.....so mad that I left one of my shoes somewhere in London....either in a shopping centre or on the tube.....I can't remember :(......it was these shoes......

but.....as bad as it sounds.....I'm going to buy them again [I KNOW I'M NOT RICH BUT THEY ARE TOO NICE MAN!] anyways just in case the 'Lost and Found' dudes of the London Underground or Westfield shopping centre don't have my sick-ass shoes, I'm buying 'em.......by hook or crook....I might enlist the help of the new and improved thugged out MJ to rob a pair for me ahahaha [I don't encourage crimes of any sort guys.....honesty brings prosperity...]
