Color Day Themes: Teacher's Pet (Red Delicious Apple)

Happy September, dolls!  Today's board is inspired by school tradition and the infamous "teacher's pet".  Being teacher's pet isn't easy; there's studying, class participation, and of course the time-honored tradition of presenting your teacher with "thoughtful gifts".  And, when it comes to gifts, there is nothing more traditional and formally ingrained in our minds than a ripe, red, perfectly polished apple. "Back to School" can remind you of a lot of things like paper bag book covers, pencil shavings, and plaid, but when you think of school and teachers and Fall and put it all together, you get a big juicy apple.  Luckily, here in New Jersey, we have an abundance of orchards! So, in September and October we can all flock to our nearest farm and pick our apples, which may be used to help get us to the head of the class, or better yet in pies, as place card holders, & as centerpieces. However you choose to use this fall favorite, incorporating apples into your Fall decor is a surefire way to get an A+ from us!

Support The V-Movement

Two things in life that we can't get back are time and our virginity!!! While we can't control time, we can control when we give away our innocence. Veronica Smith of the V-Movement organization is promoting abstinence in young girls. As a 27 year old virgin, she lets them know that although it can be difficult, it can be done. Check her out on Fox13.

Takers Takes The #1 Spot


Okay... if you didn't go see Takers this weekend, you most def need to be at the theaters SOON!!  The movie was absolutely the bizness, and the fact that they gave you nothing BUT yumminess to look at throughout the whole thing just added to enjoyment.  Idris Elba, O-M-G... I don't think I can come up with words to express how FINE that man is, and the accent just adds to his sex appeal.  There is one scene in particular (you'll know when you see it) that caused me to SCREAM (literally scream) out in the theater like a maniac ROFL!!

Anywho, the movie beat out it's competition and came in as the #1 movie for the first weekend.  T.I. mentioned to BET that they are already in talks of a prequel to the movie to tell the background of each character. That should be HOT!! Congrats to the cast and crew.  This will MOST def be in my movie collection when it goes to DVD, gotta have it!!!

Keds + Opening Ceremony + Richard Saja.








Love these customized Keds for Opening Ceremony "France Edition" designed by artist Richard Saja. Richard has been re-contextualizing quintessentially French toile prints since 2001 when he first designed a set of printed pillows embellished with playful twists on monochromatic pastoral scenes.

New Music Video- Jazmine Sullivan "Holding You Down (Goin' In Circles"



I so love Jazmine's voice!! I can't really say I'm feeling the video (other than the house party scene), but the song is the bizness. What do you guys think about the video?
