RIP DR. MAYA ANGELOU

I grew up reading her poetry. This poem taught me self confidence. Her literature was inspirational to me. The true definition of a confident woman was Dr. Angelou to me. She was one of the greats. You will be missed!

Mr & Mrs. West

Kim and Kanye tied the knot over the weekend in France. the images are rolling out this morning. Kim looked beautiful in her gown. She looks very classic. The dress ain't your normal corset style or strapless dress. She looks beautiful. Rumor has it Kanye put the whole wedding together and Kim was left out of a lot of planning. Kanye is very detailed and very eccentric. I wouldn't trust any other straight man with planning my wedding! Congrats to them both!

The New Era of Relationships!

                            

 I'm noticing that it's taking a lot more than providing the basics in a relationship in order to become a wife or a husband. Its just not enough anymore. Times are changing! You could date for 3 months and become a couple in no time. Then be married within a year or two.

As a Woman all you had to do was take care of you man, your kids and keep your household together. Made sure your man was taken care of in the bedroom and everything was pretty much fine.

As a Man all you had to do was have a good job with benefits, provide a roof over everyone's head, a car for us to get around in and a couple of dollars to give to the kids for the ice cream truck.

You still have to provide the basics but I think a lot of people these days are looking for more. More from their mate and more from their relationship. We can easily blame television and social media. But then again, is it really a bad thing to want more from your mate. A lot of people are going for the "Power Couple" move. You know, back in the day, women stayed out of men's business. The times have changed. Men want their women to build with them. Men want women to be a BOSS like them. If the woman is a "BOSS" all on her own, she wants her man to match that. With that comes a different type of Trust and loyalty. I mean, if you're man had a good job and brought home a check, it's still considered your livelihood. But becoming a "Power Couple" is trusting someone with your life on a whole other level!

I think with that being said the qualities people are looking for in a mate are more complex. I think for these new relationship goals men and woman are expecting different qualities like: Secure, Ambitious, Independent, Business minded, Solid and Loyal! I think men are looking for woman who are stronger mentally. A woman who will stand up for herself, respectfully speaks her mind and doesn't settle for the type of treatment others thinks she should have. I think men are looking for women who will set the standard for herself, her business and her relationship. I think women are looking for the same in men, including a man who is willing to include his woman and to think of her as a member of the team. 

O.P.I Color of the Week:

Color(s) of the week! "Dining At Frisco" (Blue) & "Pussy Galore" Liqud Sand Collection (Pink). Follow me on Instagran @JaeMichelle22 and check out my hashtag #JaeMnails for other colors, styles and designs.

August Alsina Suicide photo!

This image is disturbing!! August Alsina just posted this image on his Instagram, with the caption "Rest in Peace Aug. Forever missed #holdyoudownforlife" this could mean a number of things. Maybe it's art with a deep meaning. It could be a representation of NEW LIFE. The old him is dead. Could be just to get attention to generate album sales. I mean, art does imitate life but this is a bit extreme. Young people follow social media to the tee. Especially their favorite artists. They might think it's okay and it's a "cool" way out if they are thinking of ending it all. 

Is it too much or is it just art?? 

Sevyn Streeter ft. YG - Next

Sevyn Streeters new video! This is Sevyn's second single off of her album "Call Me Crazy, but..." Her first single was with the locked up Chris Brown "Don't stop" which was one of my favorite records for a long long time! I reccomend her EP which can be found on itunes. The best songs, in my opinion are "Sex on the ceiling" and "Shattered".

O.P.I Color of the Week!

I am a faithful O.P.I Nail Lacquer wearer! LOL! I have a nail rack full! I love shopping for new colors! I love when a NEW color collection is Released! 

This weeks color(s) are: "I Just Can't Cope-a-cabana" [Yellow]. This color is from the "BRAZIL" collection and "Alpine Snow" [White]. I'm not over joyed about my design but I tried a new shop. Designs weren't their strong suite but i love the "Coffin" style nail. Which I asked for, by the way. Coffin style nails are a new trend. They look good short or long!

Really Miley!?

Bill O'riley spoke on Beyoncé having sex with her husband in the back of a limo.... Her HUSBAND y'all!! But look at what this "Pop Star", who has millions of little girls looking up to her. Your paying for your child to view soft porn. Not long ago she was acting out masturbation on stage, legs wide open. Look at what Miley Cyrus is doing to a blow up doll!! This is out of line! This is disgusting behavior. I think whatever show this city was in, she needs to be fined and banned. I think this part of her show needs to be cut. I think people should flood Mr. ORileys inbox about this behavior. I think people should speak up and not excuse it because she's a little white girl.

Best of the Met!

KIM K!! Soon to be Mrs. West! I love this dress! I love the color especially! I think the slit was perfect. Her make up, hair and shoes flowed perfectly. The pocket was a cute lil feature to the dress.

Model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

This dress is very fun and sexy, with leather and leopard print! It also looks comfortable! Because the Met Gala is all about being artistic in your clothes I can see why she wore this but this is also a dress I think you can wear out to the club!

Actress Hailee Stenfield

This dress is GORGEOUS!! I love the way it flares at the waist! You can almost never go wrong with Black & White! The shoes were completely OFF! With the peep shoes feature at the bottom of the dress. She should have worn a black heel.

Erykah Badu! No GIRL, NO! Just NO! 

Emma Stone! I love her most in her natural red hair! The skirt itself stands out to me. Even though this is a casual outfit its looks so pretty and it's still so appropriate for this event!

Queen BEY!! Gorgeous! I love the black. Its shimmery which brings more attention to the sheer parts of the dress. I love the old time Hollywood veil! She is Flawless!

Dita Von Teese! I love how this dress shows off her hour glass shape. The mermaid style dress enhances her shape. The color red plays beautifully off of her pale skin but the top seems like it just doesn't fit right! Still, she is killing this dress!

The Met Gala, formally called the Costume Institute Gala and also known as the Met Ball, is an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute. It also serves as an opening celebration for the institute's annual fashion exhibit.
