You Look Fabulyse! (6)

Tightted Up! by Fabulyse featuring Alexander McQueen accessories

Yes, I am just as suprised as you are! We are wearing tights yet another fall! I thought tights were only gonna last about a year or two.  I thought this way back in 04/05.  And look at us now!! I remember when I wore a short purple dress with black opaque tights to the Pretty Nasty party in 2006 or 2007.  Everyone asked, "You wearing those tights with the feet in? OMG???" LOL.  Back then people really only wore footless leggings, the opaque tight hadn't become the craze yet.

The thing that separates fall 2009 and the past years, is the huge variety in the patterns and textures.  Before we would do opaque or not opaque, maybe a small pattern or a fishnet, nothing too drastic.  This year tights can actually be the key item in your look.  Trendy patterns, liquid, sequinned, torn, denim, or studded are just a few ways to rock a legging this fall.

I just bought some FAB floral tights from Forever that I cant wait to wear! Not to mention those houndstooth tights pictured above! Those need to be on my legs immediately! Lol!

Leggings and tights can very easily be a disaster if not worn properly.  You have to know your body and know what flatters you.  Tights are another one of those trends that does not work for everyone.  Also you have to know what to pair your tights with.  Some girls, depending on the body type and their style level, can rock a legging with just a shirt.  Others cannot.  And just because you are skinny doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. 

Even a crackhead saw the business opportunity in leggings.  Lindsay Lohan started her very own legging line 6126. http://thefabulyselife.blogspot.com/2009/08/lindsey-lohan-and-frankie-get-clothing.html She even invented the "ankle glove." Which is a leg warmer on crack.  Some of her leggings are pretty cute, but they aren't any different from any other leggings in the world.  I'm done hating. 

Happy FALL FASHIONS!! I love getting dressed in the fall! Its just cool enough to wear the cutest outfits without having to cover them up with a coat!

Liar, Cheater, Deceiver, Heartbreaker

Question......do all men really cheat? All of them? Every single one? Until recently I didn't think I had ever been cheated on. I mean really cheated on, not just "chillin' with someone" or getting "too flirty." I mean straight inserting your piece into someone else's pie.

Maybe I was trying to live in a fairy tale world or something. It's a really humbling experience. It's like you think "that'll never happen to me" or my man is "better than those other niggas." Please, everybody, men and women, have the capability of being classified as "not shit." All they need is the situation.

But seriously though, if you are committed to someone that "situation" shouldn't come up right? Don't you owe it to your partner to not even be associated with those types of environments? Or is it just if you're married? I've heard a lot of people say it's not that deep if you aren't married. Those were mostly old school people saying that type of thing anyway. Plus if you and your mate have that agreement then that's fine. But if not then you better be making the right choices.

Then after the cheating, what do you do? How do you stop thinking about it? If you forgive the person then you owe it to them to try and move forward right? But you really shouldn't owe them shit. They are the ones who made the mistake.

Being the person who cheated and the person who got cheated on couldn't be more on opposite ends of the spectrum, when it comes to emotions anyway. The person who did it can be secure immediately after. They know the situation and have nothing to worry about. The victim is the one who has to constantly worry. Are they still cheating? Do I know the person? Was it only one person? Did they protect themselves properly? The list of questions can only go on.

Not to mention the humiliation. Do you look stupid for accepting it and forgiving that person? Do you look like a weakling? Or do you look like a forgiving person with a big heart, who understands that mistakes happen? Idk. I guess it just depends on the circumstances.

2009=Nakedness?!?!

Ok forreal......is 2009 the year for nakedness? First Cassie and Rihanna and now Dorian from College Hill and Willie from Day 26.  Dorian's pics were nothing that I desire to see ever again, but I may be going back to look over Willie's again.  Lmao. Im only joking.

But seriously, what is going on? Im sure celebs have been taking these pictures forever, but why are so many leaking these days?  Is it just that much easier to hack into people's computers/phones these days? Everyone's twitter, phones, email etc. is getting hacked.  That's gotta be scary for celebs.  But they should know the risk involved considering the fact that they have seen it all happen before.  I don't think I would even take pics like that if I was a celeb.  Willie released a statement first apologizing to his fans, then explaining that he has to be away from home for extended periods of time and he and his wife share intimate moments the best way they know how.  I can understand that, but still.

The worst of the naked photos, in my opinion, is the Cassie ones.  I mean really.  At least Ri-Ri only showed a little boob and booty, and you couldn't even see her face.  But Cassie? She had to out do Ms. Rihanna.  She went full spread eagle, no shame.  You can come back from a little boob and booty, but spread eagle? Idk.

New Music out this Week

Soooooo......how did we really feel about the Whitney GMA performance? I love Whitney for being the legend that she is.  This wasn't her best performance, but she has been off the scene for 8 years.  If anyone stops doing their job for 8 years, then their first day back may be a little shaky.  I think we as fans forget that celebs are still human.  They are not perfect. And the main ones hating ain't never stepped on a stage in front of a crowd at all.  So kick rocks. 

I haven't heard her album and I'm not really sure if I wanna purchase it yet.  I mean I'll probably purchase it just because its Whitney, but we'll see.  I need to listen to the little snippets on iTunes and that'll make my final decision.  I wasn't feeling her first single too much, it seemed like a headliner for a Lifetime movie soundtrack.  As much as I need a little Lifetime chick flick in my life, I can do without the music. Lmao.

Is Whitney gonna be the same after all these years? No Bobby? And will the drug use have a permanent effect on her performance? I dont know..... I think she'll be fine.  Her performance showed that she still has it, but she needs to drink some tea or suck on a lemon or something.  She definately had a lot of energy.  Not to mention her footwork.  It reminded me of Tina at the end of "What's Love Got to do With it?" when they showed the real Tina performing in that white leather jumpsuit.

"Lady Love" by LeToya Luckett also came out this past week.  I got it off iTunes.  Its pretty good so far.  I haven't listened to it too much, but the first listen wasnt bad.  Normally I can tell if I'm going to be able to handle an album by the first listen.  Why did I not realize how old that song "Torn" truly is?  I never listened to her first album and I was looking at the playlist like "Where is Torn?" That song is like 3 years old Lmao.  LeToya has been really cute lately.  I'm proud of her for moving past the DC mess and building a name for herself.  Now we just gotta find LaTavia and Farrah and see what they are up too.  Actually you can leave Farrah where she is.  Lol.  Did y'all forget about Farrah? Yeah she was only on the scene for a few months. 

I had to put in this throwback photo of DC.  These were the days.  At the Bey concert when she took it back and sang "Bills, Bills, Bills", "Say My Name" etc. was one of the best parts of the show.  Ahhh, I would love to see a "REAL" DC reunion.  The original four, no Michelle, no Farrah.  Michelle is kewl, I actually like her, but let's be real.  She really didn't add much to the group. She would've been a better fit in a group like, let's say Mary, Mary.  Or maybe her and Yolanda Adams and CeCe Winans could've formed a group.  Michelle never struck me as a comfortable fit in DC. She seemed to be playing a role but it seemed to come natural to Bey and Kelly.  Speaking of Kelly, why did I just realize her real name was Kelandria? Now that's a name.  I have heard rumors of a DC3 reunion in 2010 once Bey finished her I Am tour.  We'll see.  Supposedly they owe Columbia another album.  They should do like the end of Dreamgirls and bring back all the original members.  And you see how on "The Temptations" the old members formed their own group and went out and sang the old Temp songs.  Maybe Latavia and Farrah should do that.  They could perform at the Ambassador or the Loft.  I'd go. Lmao. 

But back to LeToya, I like her album. Its pretty good. She's cute, no drama (so far), and I feel like she is finally being looked at as her own person not a ex member of DC.

And last but not least, Trey Songz's album just came out too.  He is so sexy.  For this reason, I will buy the album. Lol.  I havent bought it yet but I will.  Im so lazy, lately I've been just getting everything off iTunes instead of taking the trip to Target.  Trey has changed his sound a little bit to me.  He is way more trendy now.  "LOL :)"? Really? The thing that is crazy is that I actually like the song.  Hate to admit it, but I do.  "Succesful"? Its cool, not my fav.  I think my favorite Trey song of all time is "Can't Help but Wait".  When he breaks it down on that one part..."you should be rockin the latest in purses, bracelets, and watches, you're worth much more than an occasional I love you, Im thinking of you...." OMG! My shit!!! And damn right, I should be rocking the latest! Get it right. :)

I have always loved Trey Songz, even more after he cut off those god-awful braids.  He was the last dude that had braids that would even consider looking at twice. And thats a huge compliment.  Trust me. 

I must admit that I kinda lost a little respect for him after reading his Honey Magazine interview though.  He talked about having a girl in every city and catching an STD in his younger years.  I know this is how most celebs get down, but I don't wanna hear about it from their mouth.  Reading about it on YBF is one thing, but him saying it is another.  I wanna keep my image of him being a nice, respectful guy.  Not one that lands in a city and calls his jumpoff for the night.  Oh well. 

He just seems so much more urban, more mainstream. He used to have a more neo-soul look, sound. Not a groupie one. Maybe it was the braids. Lmao.


Well this was a busy week for the R&B industry, lets see how the sales do for these albums.  Next is Jay-Z (that I won't be buying) and Mariah. (Probably won't get that one either.)



Signing off.......MUAH
