"i love a good conversation with an attractive indidividual" - @toiramala
boycott!
The luxury beauty & perfume brand, Guerlain, found themselves in a bit of trouble when , Jean Paul Guerlain, made a racial slur (insert the *n-word) during an interview on a French television station:
“I put myself to work like a [n-word]. I don’t know if the [n-words] have always worked hard, but…” ["Je me suis mis à travailler comme un nègre. Je ne sais pas si les Nègres ont toujours tellement travaillé mais enfin..."]"
LVMH has denounced all of Guerlain's statlements stating that they were “intolerable” and contradicted the “culture, values, and ethics practiced by the enterprise, which promotes the diversity of talents of all origins.”

bryce dallas howard
saw hereafter last night and fell in love with bryce dallas howard's face. the whole time i was wondering, who is this girl? her acting wasnt bad either, a misconceived notion of children with industry parents (she is the daughter of actor turned director, ron howard) but i was mesmerized by just watching her. she has a presence on camera thats more than just her pretty features, the gorgeous red hair and piercing eyes. but the scenes with her were enchanting and i missed her when she didnt appear any more in the film. no spoilers here.
hereafter wasntbad, though i should have seen it when i wasnt so tired. (nodding off action) the "date" thought it was kind of "dry" and slow. the back and forth action could have been transitioned better. something about it wasnt quite as seamless as clint eastwood took you from location to location with the various characters and their stories. though the story with the twins had me in tears more than once throughout the film. actress cecil de france was a breath of fresh air. she was perfect for the role. hereafter is currently in theatres.

nini
shorts:f21 pumps: ysl
currently stalking one of my fashion icons, nini nguyen of ninistyle.net. i love how she combines high end designer names like ysl and ann demeuleester with less expensive labels such as the popular go-to forever 21. she always looks effortlessly chic in a cleverely artistic edgy twist with her flowing capes and harem pants and sheer tulle and bloomers. i have to have a pair of bloomers now! she recently started a new venture as creative director of nha khanh. her beautiful photographs and six inch babies always have me clicking "older entries".

for colored girls (update w/poster)
the website, shadow & act, gives great dialoue for the impending "for colored girls who have considered suiced when the rainbow is enuf" film that has created quite the buzz moreso due to mr. tyler perry's attachment to the project. since my first mention of the film, there have been numerous attacks against mr.perry and even a rebuttal from the filmmaker regarding his association to the remake of the masterpiece, originally written by ntozake shanghe. the film is set for an earlier release november 5, 2o1o. here is tyler perry's reply he posted on his official website, along with trailer, movie poster and stills.
he says:
We are only a little more than 3 weeks out from FOR COLORED GIRLS, which opens on November 5th. Wow, time is flying! I wanted to talk to you for just a second about this film. There has been a lot of Internet chatter about me doing this film. I've heard everything from, "I'm glad he's doing it!", to "How dare he touch this!". Believe me, I know that this is sensitive material and I handled it that way. If you don't believe me see for yourself on November 5th.
If you know anything about the book or play, FOR COLORED GIRLS WHO HAVE CONSIDERED SUICIDE WHEN THE RAINBOW IS ENUF, which is what my film is based on, then you know that it is one of the most powerful literary works of this century. But, if you know it, you are also thinking like I was, "How can I make this into a movie?"
After reading the play a thousand times and listening to these poems a million times, it hit me. There was only one way to approach it. So what I did was, I put these characters in the situations around the poems, so that they could speak the dialogue of the book without it sounding like a poem. And I have to tell you, I wasn't sure that it could be done. But, after listening to Phylicia Rashad, Thandie Newton, Kerry Washington, Macy Gray, Kimberly Elise, Tessa Thompson, Whoopi Goldberg, Loretta Devine, Anika Noni Rose and Janet Jackson say these words it was awesomely seemless.
The stories are about eight women who live in NYC and we follow them through their lives; follow them through loving, losing, giving too much of themselves, being hurt and betrayed, but most of all, we follow each of these women as they find love for themselves.
This movie is powerful. It is incredible. The performances in it are astonishing, but most of all this film will leave you lifted.
I don't know if you know this either, but never in the history of a feature film has there been an ensemble of this many black women. That alone is worth celebrating. I hope you are planning to see it on November 5th.
By the way, you don't have to be a colored girl to be able to relate to and enjoy this movie.

i filmed my first short film in south florida on october 17. it was produced by the palm beach film school, from an open casting i attended where i actually was cast in two of the short films. this is the first of the two. the film is a segment of the story of former rock & roll star Dion DiMucci (Dion & the Belmonts) who is best known from his '60s hit, The Wanderer. his estranged son, Dion II., wrote and directed the piece which recalls a lunch meeting between father & son.
the day started at seven am with dunkin donuts and oj. afer only one rehearsal prior to the shoot, we ran through lines a couple times before the crew was ready for us. we shot mostly on dolly until we filmed the closeups later in the day. the two other actresses and myself did some voiceover work for our scenes last and we were a wrap. the cast and crew was fantastic and i was honored to be apart of bringing such an interesting story to life. stay tuned for clips....!
