Hey Hey, welcome to my blog page i'm just gonna be on here from time to time ranting on about all the good stuff and some of the bad in regards to my music or a random day hmmmmmmm!!
Hope you like what you read comments r us, (leave a message)hee hee. xx
I AM FEELING
OVER SEXY RIGHT NOW!!!, TODAY I LEARNT HOW TO WALK IN STILETTO @ THE
MAYBELLINE NEWYORK PRESS RELEASE FOR THE NEW MASCARA 'LASH SITLETTO VOLUPTUOUS.
CHEZZZZZZZZZZZZE CHECK ME!!! LOL
I was taught
loads of stuff today from using this mascara to make my eyes pop, Yeaaaah baby!!
As well as walking
like a lady in heals.
They said
this mascara could make my lashes 70% longer and add 80% more volume. They were
not lying people – right now at this moment I’m looking at this screen with
longer lashes check The photo!!!
I also learnt
how to massage my feet as well as the techniques behind good body posture by
the one only SARAH TONER who equipped me with all the skills needed to walk right,
when I put on some sexy heels.
Obviously
being CHOCOLATE BLONDE means sometimes wearing heels on stage and dancing all
at the same time. This really helped me think about where I will be placing my
body when performing to get the best execution, but in a relaxed state.
ODILIA
my choreographer also joined me @The Lash Stiletto Voluptuous launch. So you
know she’ll be checking I use all the skills I learnt today from Sarah Toner at
future shows.
Anyway
like I said It’s Lash time and leg time ok let’s say its STILETTO TIME LOL
IF YOU
SEE A GIRL TONIGHT BATTING HER EYELASHES AND WALKING RIGHT ITS ME, LIKE I SAID
FEELING OVER SEXY XX
Oh my gosh so I am so crap at blogging. Doing my best to get better at it normally blog on whatever i can find rather than a set place. A wall-(my sitting room just look at ick on my forehead footage for proof lol). A piece of paper and sometimes i've got lots to say and nothing to say all at the same time LIFE A - HUH- enough said
Anyway this year is getting off to a great start, had a really good chat with my management team and the other people involved in my project make up artist, stylist, Choreographer and pa. And we have been putting all the stuff we planned for this into action I am so thankful to have them on my side. xx
I haven't been doing any shows this year as I'm trying to put some new music together. It is about DAM time I throw down some more real tunes on how im feeling about things in my day to day life lol , missing the stage like crazy as its my first or second home hmmmmmmmm still deciding, anyway I love it.
Im still waiting to go Blonde aaaaaaaaaaaa scared but excited, I'm getting used to the idea now i suppose just wanna look in the mirror and see it plonked on my head - what's that be careful of what I wish for? Nothing worst than a bad weave lol also got my website up and running so you can get even more info on my goings on there's website
Whats been really exciting is filming a new travel show called BLONDE VOYAGE with JAYJAYTV . It's based around Europe's Cities and cultural hotspots.
I ask people what would they do for a BLONDE CHOCOLATE BAR hahaha xx
Filming has been to funny and the people in the streets getting involved have been great , and yep that includes the people that ran away from me- I know who you are and I'm watching you and I will get you on screen one day. wooooooooohaaaa (meant to sound like Dracula with out the teeth)
Anyway Im loving the opportunity to see new places, meet people and experience different things and the JAYJAYTV team are great to - to much jokes.
I have also been doing rehearsals testing out new songs on the Mic at the Inn on the green. Very intense and I'm knackered but loving it.
I was really ill over the last couple of days but I'm getting back on form cant wait to see what this year will bring.
Right that's it all I've got for now back to the Lemsip, Anadin extra and whatever else I can claim round this house lol
Nite Nite lots of love alwayzzzzzzzz
Chocolate Blonde xx
My status says adventurous that's only because its valentines - ah mate I almost logged off with out mentioning it whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Hello world it’s me, where I
have been lately. Taking care of all the shit that life throws at me and trying
to smile about it. Real talk, I’m sorry I left you for so long. The worst thing
is I’ve blogged every where but on here (my actual blog) and I do mean every
where. On my wall’s. On pieces of paper, note pad’s and on the computer as I’ve
had a lot happen and a lot to say.
I suppose sometimes you got to
keep things to yourself or write a song about it, Lol!
Which is what I’ve been doing, as
my friendships, relationships with family members and love life (ha). Have all
become very interesting.
So watch this space new tracks
coming to you very soon!!!!!
Anyways off that I have been very
busy girl performance wise.
I have hosted Fat Talent Live
gig @The Proud Gallery.
I have also had the pleasure of Performing
at a famous music venues called The Tour which has seen other great acts such
as perform.
I hosted ‘Ose Couture’ Fashion event which had a celebrity guest
list and saw me perform alongside Nate
James and Kele la Roc. (Shoreditch)
www.osecouturelondon.com
I also hosted a great music
event run by Creative Cycle ‘swing baby’- at The Bar music hall(Shoreditch). I
was also one of the support acts for A.Kay(uk rap artist) listening party at
Viva Viva (Hornsey).
I was one of the judges and
performed as a special guest act for an on going event at Ange Mystique(KFC-
old kent rd ) – for ‘A’ got talent (A standing for Africa’s
got talent).Official kick off 29th oct so contact them if you want
to enter. You could win 1000 And I know your thinking na mate everyone says
that but its true. The organiser sent me to Uganda last year to do some gigs
and stuff. And was also looking after cash money when here was here 2 weeks
ago. So enter it’s a good look.
I’ve been too Bristol to rave my big heart out! With my mate
Jannine as she wanted to see Joe and Ginuwine perform. – we only saw Joe
perform at the concert but Ginuwine did perform at the after party with his
leather coat and finger wave ha– shocking people , if you know what I mean lol.
All my days are starting to mesh
in to one – crazy !
I must’nt forget the team
I’ve got two great dancers
working with me now Fabrice and Sied !!! whoop whoop so look out for them.
And newest addition is a pa – I
now have a pa – called Naraiah who is great at helping me arrange everyone to fit
my schedule. Still don’t have a street team over the age 18 (as my gigs normally
serve alcohol) so I am on the look out.
Also a videographer and
photographer.
I have been on the radio with Dj Col
j- mystique fm. I also did a pa at fir and ice Ipswich-to
much jokes. So a big thank you him for supporting my music.
A BIG THANK YOU !
I also want to say a big thank
you to Yann, who runs DANCER DELIGHT. Who called me to thank me for getting him
into dance. He is doing a big dance event on the 1st of November for
Black history month acknowledging choreographers who have had a big influence
on where dance started and where it has been going. Such as Kenrick, Tony
Touch, Shae, Dre, Dwayne, Dwan/Cobe-be, Busta, Michelle and Dion to name a few. When you see how hard it was just to get a gig before, to
now seeing great acts such a flawless, Diversity get acknowledgement for there
art. Its great to hear someone recognise the hard the work that went in to
making dance groups a lifestyle rather a part time gig or something you do one
a week for fun.
I have been teaching for many
years and have taught a lot of people who have gone to be very successful
dancers, models, choreographers and musicians. But rarely get a thank you. So
thank you Yann for acknowledging my part in the way the dance industry has
developed over the last couple of years.
Ok so the business:
My management team Fat Talent
have been working really hard in helping me take the next step in my music career
. We have had successful/hilarious-(look out for documentary- that will explain
statement. This will end at the end of the year) meetings with people industry
behind UK Artists The sugar babes, Pixie L and Taio cruz to name a few. So
watch this space as its looking like its going to be a great 2010 Interesting
stuff Lol.
I have also been asked to host
something that will see me travelling to a different country in Europe every week. Which I’m well excited about – I tell
you more as it happens.
But the big news flash really is
dud u duuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!
I’m going BLONDE – on my gosh
!!!! you heard here first another reason why I was silent. As I have been
getting my mind used to the idea. Nutssss but its happening .
What do you think about that let
me know anyways got to go LIFE IS CALLING ME AGAIN – DAM !!
