A couple styles I didn’t like this year

Posted in fashion on July 16, 2010 by laurenolauren

The half shaved head


I have a problem with being bald, I believe women should have hair, or atleast commit to what you started, the half head wasn’t working for me.

Hammer pants


Very few people can pull off this look, i say as long as you don’t go over board stay away from a lot of fabric, then you should be good. I have completely stayed away, i’m one for fashion and trends but I don’t think all things work for everybody.

Copying celeb tattoos


Tattoos whether you believe it or not are permanent, they don’t go away so getting the exact same tattoo that Rihanna has on her back tells me that you’re a person without substance living in the moment or it could mean, that you have a genuine reason why you have the exact same tattoo.

all the feathers


I like the feather approach but a whole dress of feathers reminds me of a bird or something, “too much of something is not enough, it’s just too dam much.

DO THIS, DON’T DO THAT:

Sometimes a trend comes in and we get t right other times we completely miss the mark and look stupid;

DO THIS


Keeping things simple always works, with fabric trust me, because in a quick instant it can go terribly wrong. this is definitely a do!!!

DON'T DO THIS


There is too m any things happening with this dress, where is the focus? It has frills, shoulder details, one shoulder swinging and a dam boe, this is a mess!

THIS IS A DO


Too many sequins can kill you, keep it simple keep sequins in non scary colors like black, white, silver a little gold if you dare. The key is keeping the design of the dress simple.
!

DON'T DO THIS!!


Do i really need to explain why this is wrong?

xoxoxox Lauren O Lauren, keep it simple girls!

A tale about a ring and a girl.

Posted in Lauen's Mind on July 16, 2010 by laurenolauren

My Ring

If you’ve ever seen me you would have noticed that I’m never without a silver looking ring on my ring finger, some people ask me if i’m engaged or if my dearest Cookie gave it to me, my immediate response “Of course not”!
Ever since I was a little girl I’ve always wanted a boy to give me a ring, not because I wanna get married but because what I think it symbolized, I must have read it somewhere in one of the many books I owned. A ring is a never ending circle, there is no start, nor is there a finish, it’s a symbol of a promise come through or whatever the fuck it is. I’ve always hinted at getting ring all the time, and I’ve never gotten one because the truth is, Men themselves know the power of the symbol of the ring and the little fuckers know deep down inside that they don’t want to commit.

Over a year ago I met this older man (go figure), he’s Persian and his outlook on life was amazing I only knew him for 2 days on the third day before he left, he had a ring on his right little finger, he removed it from his hand and gave it to me, saying when we meet next time he’d give me another one. A very small meaningless act to him but a life changing experience to me.

From the day he gave me that ring, I never took it off (only this one time, thats a long story) I always have it on, in all my pictures you’ll see it, if you see me on TV i’ll be wearing it. Even though I never saw him again and I hear from him every now and again, the fact that he took a ring off his own hand and gave it to me, has left him a permanent place in my memory and my heart of course. I don’t think i’ll ever stop wearing this ring even if I get married my wedding ring will be worn with it.

To me it’s the first time that a man has made a promise to me, its kind of like taking a loan from the bank and giving them your car to hold on to, it makes the loan a little less like a loan, kinda sorta like a promise eh?

I know this sounds sappy and very unlike me, but I just wanted to share this story with everyone, because it means so much to me. Don’t get me wrong I love Cookie but ummm he didn’t give me a ring even after I asked for one,over and over and over and over and trust me I could go on and on and on!
It’s not like the ring means more to me than Cookie, they’re two different things, happened at two different times, claiming two different parts of me.

Last night once again i found myself in one of those weird moods, and i was listening to my Ipod and found a song that i didn’t put there, “anyone but him” by Mr Hudson ft Kanye West and I thought wow. Everyone can relate to this, whether its an ex boyfriend or a present girlfriend there is that guy or girl that you never want him/her to talk to no matter what.

You cant seem to figure out whats wrong with you why they would ever want to talk that person anyway, in your eyes the person isn’t a nice person, yea she might be pretty I suppose if your into “BORING & PLAIN”, but what makes her a must buy as opposed to you. I always feel like i’m that flavor soda a guy chooses if they run out of the one he really wants, “alright fine i’ll take sprite if you don’t have cola”

“Any one but him, i’de rather you have the whole football team” “Anyone but him, school boy fists we can take this outside. but knowing my luck that prick would win” and “Anyone but him but blood boils and my eyes turn green. Is this the best of the best so it seems”

Those are all lines you can relate to if you know what talking about, theres always one person, that you hope your boyfriend never looks at, maybe you’re jealous of the person or you just don’t like them. i lye in bed countless nights saying this to myself “anyone but her”

listen to it, its whats in my ipod right now! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZ0Q6S3UCL8

Play Damsel in distress, take half and be independent. We’re women

An idiot once said “it’s a mans world”, I beg to differ and I want to show you how. Women we sometimes allow men to take our perfect world and put up there smelly gym socks all over it.

I was watching Neyo the other day who is going to be a new father, pretty amazing huh, when the reporter said to him “When are you gonna get married” Neyo’s eyes opened wider than a dilated vagina, he responded by saying “slow down there, not so fast” not the exact same words but the same point. Here I was sitting in front of my room mates television considering mine is broken and I don’t really like TV. I was adjusting the rubber bands on my braces, and had shot myself in the face when one came loose.

How does a man get a woman pregnant but think its a rush to marry her? I’ll tell you why, because stupid women open there legs and are too happy to breed. Pregnancy, I cant stress how awful it is, your shoes don’t fit, you’re fat, and your body does things you cant control, why would you want that, so you can wear the coveted title of “Baby Mama”, he’ll visit you twice a month and send you money on Fridays, you stupid bitch.
Stop allowing these punk ass, half men to fat you up with a bag a kids, his body wont be affected and he can still drink vodka and redbull. Any man that gets me pregnant and tells me he cant marry me, is gonna hear “I fell down and I don’t think I’m pregnant anymore” which quite frankly, for a man to hear that is similar to me hearing spice girls when i was 9 years old, pure bliss.

Take charge of the world like Eve did when she gave Adam the apple, of Delilah when she had sex with Samson then cut his hair off while he slept, those women are women after my own heart.

I urge you keep your legs crossed and don’t get pregnant unless you’ve been with him for longer than 3 years and you can afford to take care of that baby yourself. Why settle for less, do you really wanna be that dudes baby mama??

Make sure you have at least one of these in your closet, they will be in for a while. I predict they will go all the way into December and early next January. Dnt be afraid to splurge because you can always take it out every now and again later next year. This is a trend with some depth as long as your body fits your dress “properly” you wont have to worry.

Show me your Shoulder.

Center parts and big curls are fabulous this summer, but its so hot and humid, to keep them I suggest a light holding spray, so when it’s “blowing out” it will look natural and soft as opposed to spritz that gives you a frozen harsh look and agony later when you try to brush or comb your hair.

curls/ flips and Center parts

Studs are everywhere, shoulders, bags, shoes, t-shirts and even in ladies acrylic. Dnt go over board with too much keep it basic, like the lapel of a simple black jacket will last you into next season. A full studded jacket wont guarantee you the same warranty. Remember fashion is like a cheap slut, todays she’ll love you but tomorrow she’ll love him.

Im attracted to Studs

Do you remember when women were wearing less, well tis the season to cover up, the sophisticated sexy look is all the rave. Buy a couple jackets, or get one really good one made!

Please cover up

Long Necklaces have been in for a pretty while and aren’t going anywhere for just yet, get a couple, they’re good with t-Shirts, or dresses.

a Necklace

Make a statement, like a powerful woman, wear a big bold statement with your necklace, if it looks like something you wouldn’t wear because its too big or too much, then get it!!!

A Necklace story

Remember ladies, play with your look and brake out of the ordinary.

If only Martin Luther King had a Dream like this one,

Posted in Lauen's Mind on July 13, 2010 by laurenolauren

Oh For at least an hour I was happier than i’ve ever been in my whole life. I came home and took a nap right, this usually happens, don’t ask what’s in these pain killers.

So my dream is about me, this boy I really like and the girl he really likes. Now this is how it goes, I met a boy I was soo in love with him, but even though we were having sex, he didn’t feel the same way about me he liked my friend. Even though he knew it would just brake my poor little heart if he hooked up with her, he did anyway, so here I am in my dream watching my friend get married to the love of my life, and I thought “oh no, what a nightmare” but then my nightmare slowly evolved into a beautiful Nightmare.

Months after the couple got married, they were pregnant, they were soo excited, I was so suicidal. When the baby was born the news spread so fast it was tormenting, but something was very odd and the baby didn’t look like her two beautiful parents, when the DNA test results came back, why he wasn’t the daddy at all.

He got the girl he wanted, but she gave him the wrong baby, now this might sound awful, but now that i’m wide awake, if this happened for real I’de be so happy I would probably kill myself.
How many times have we women go all out for a guy and he tells you “sorry honey, its just sex” then think about him getting a jacket (this is jamaican for “you are not the father” from someone he loves. Then he wouldn’t have been such an asshole anymore, maybe he’d even want you back, but then you’d say “Sorry honey, I don’t know what i saw on you in the first place, you’re nose is funny” hahahahahahahaha

I hope I go to bed tonight and have the same dream over and over again. Men should know when they have a good woman, either that or leave people girl child alone, wanna have sex with no strings attached, buy a fucking whore!!!

xoxoxo Lauren O Lauren, wake me up when the dream is real!!

Some things you should know about MEN & Women.

Posted in Relationship advise on July 11, 2010 by laurenolauren

Contrary to what the world my believe I’m not Anti-Men, but there are certain things that are just true.
I was catching up with my friend from prep school the other, we’ve known each other from before we were born. She had broken up with her boyfriend the other day for reasons I’ve heard from many girls our age, he’s boring he doesn’t like to go out, blah blah blah, then she had to end up getting back with him because there was nothing out there. Sometimes we women forget and think the grass is greener on the other side, or God forbid we think better is coming, I always say look around you before you think you can find better.

I know this about MEN;

(1) If he has two baby mothers he will have a 3rd and a 4th, and a 5th and a 6th. Dnt think you’re lucky to have him now, he’s a mover and a shaker not a house you can live in.

(2) He will never value you’re opinion over his friend’s, ever. Dnt put yourself in a situation or position where you’r competing for his attention. Always do you!

(3) Men always have time for SEX, don’t think he’s sitting there with a chastity belt and more work than the government after a hurricane.

(4) It’s hard for him to settle down if he isn’t coming from a home that doesn’t push, “one man, one woman and child” if he didn’t see his parents grow old together he may not know how to do it.

(5) When you ditch your friends for him, make sure you don’t need them when he’s gone. Men like to see when women get rid of their female friends, because it makes them feel powerful and less guilty when they do wrong or try to sleep with them.

Things I know about WOMEN;

(1) We really just want one man in our life.

(2) We’re jealous of ours friends relationship.

(3) we just want you to compliment us and tell us we’re pretty everyday, even when our new hair color looks awful.

(4) Women do cheat, but for entirely different reasons, it has nothing to do with the sex. When you start to ignore us and find faults with our bodies somebody else is telling us we look great.

(5) You have to be really good to know that your girl has cheated on you, we can be very, very good at hiding things.

Facts about Men & Women:

(1) If your boyfriend isn’t into partying and lots of friends around him, I suggest you thank God. He may be boring but at least he’s sure.

(2) When your girlfriend complains about the relationship getting boring and how young she is, she’s looking for a reason to cheat, or she has already cheated and is telling herself you’re the reason.

(3) Don’t you dare have unprotected sex with a girl who says we’d have cute kids together. She’s looking to tie you down.

(4) Any woman who says don’t get me a present, is asking for a present. this is so for all associated cases. Anything women say they don’t want, they want!!

(5) Any man who doesn’t feel bad about hitting on his friends girl should be a warning sign. Men are territorial if his friend thinks he can whisper sweet nothings to you, he’s actually telling you that you are not your boyfriends, straight up girlfriend, but girl on the side.

(6) when a guy says he doesn’t want the public to know, what he means is ” I don’t want my girlfriend to know”

Jesus was a real “bad man”

Posted in Lauen's Mind on July 9, 2010 by laurenolauren

Allow me to laugh at all the men out there who live with their moms, or have “lovey dovey” conversations with their baby mothers at night yet call themselves “bad Men” come on. Allow Jesus to show you how a real bad man roles, Jesus had no baby mother, or girlfriends that we knew about, he separated himself from his family and did it “Cow Boy style” fasting in gardens, walking around for days, chillin with the boys and drinking red wine he made from water, tell me that isn’t “Gangster”

When Jesus was to be crucified he didn’t hide, or run away and he surely didn’t show up three weeks later wearing a wig and being Reverend Al Millers passenger from a weekend in the country.

No my Jesus was in the garden where he said he would be waiting on the “Po, Po” to come get him, then in true bad man fashion! He asked his even “Badder” Bad man father not to hurt them for they know not what they do!!!! Cause he knew that God was beyond BAD!!

So please refrain from telling me where you’re from, or what you’re gonna do, or who you know, Jesus is my Homeboy.

I never want to forget

Posted in My Picks, Uncategorized on July 6, 2010 by laurenolauren

Everyday I’m amazed at the people around me, and there reasons for the things they do, I look at twitter and I see that Reenz girl siding with someone talking shit about me again when less than a month ago she sent me this letter on facebook:

Kareen Williams June 29 at 4:44pm Report
I’ve been meaning to message you for some time, I just never knew how to start seeing that you once said you don’t care about death etc. so I never too sure you’d understand where I’m coming from. Long story short, 2 wks ago 3 of my very close friends dies all at once; not twitter/fb friends lol. sigh. Burnt to death after the car crashed in a wall. The same day it happened, I spoke to one of them making plans bout what we going be doing when I get back from Atl. I never grieve so much in ma life, I did just waa dead or sumn. I doh know if you ever lose someone yu close to, but it’s the first time for me and it made me realise life too short and how everything just petty, especially those notes. I read them and just shaked ma head and wondered how uneccessary they were. I was sharing ma opinion in them and they just seemed childish. Both our re-actions were the most childish things I ever experience. Due to how life just short, I dont think it should be spent with arguments and arguments. So, I apologize for those notes. SMH Is not like I did ever dislike you to begin wid, oh and I did wonder what you meant by me slandering your name before this. I really never know what yu talking bout. I don’t know if you understand what I’m saying, but I hope you do.
Anyway, not saying we were ever friends, but I just don’t want to have “beef” over fuckery. Take care. (copied and pasted directly from my facebook inbox)

I didn’t even respond I just ignored it. It’s like i’m surrounded by persons who either want to be me, get my attention or destroy me. They look for every flaw they can find.

So im taking this opportunity to Thank God for my real blessings, I’m so grateful I was born with all my limbs in tact, I love my legs and how funny they look when I walk, I love my arms and how skinny they are, I can fit them into any sleeve, I love my nose its the envy of everyone who has to do a nose job, I love my eyes and all the beautiful things I can see with them. The color of my skin is flawless, where did you find this kind of caramel, bronze, yellow undertone from, I absolutely love it God.
I look at my family and I think you really out did your self, every one is different I can surely appreciate everything with such a colorful background.

These are the simple things I want to thank you for, these things that I over look sometimes, I love everything about me and my life. They will sing my name in choirs even after I’m dead, you gave me a personality that cannot be ignored, you’ve made me loud and heard, the envy of all breathing things who doubt and hate themselves. It’s through my blatant self-confidence that I’m able to give you thanks and show approval for the wonderful work you’ve done on me.

My Dinner date that went wrong,

Posted in Relationship advise on July 6, 2010 by laurenolauren

Now, my boyfriend is an angel sent to me from God himself, i love him more than myself, i love him so much I would give him my life and die.
He knows me like a book, i have never been with a man who observes my every move and can predict my very next move, he knows what i like and don’t like, he knows when to tell me to shut up, because any minute now I could say something very rude.

So last week I went on a date with one of my suitors. First things first, I am not sleeping around, like to date it makes me feel pretty, I’m guilty of wanting to be told I’m perfect all the time, although I love my Cookie he doesn’t really compliment me that much that’s his only fault. Every man knows the fastest way to my vagina is with compliments, lots and lots of compliments!!
So anyway though, im on this date yeah, laughing smiling eating my pasta and sipping my red wine, it was about 11pm kinda late, my cell phone rings and an unknown number comes up. I answer not thinking that it could be Cookie he never calls at this time. I hear an excited bubbly male voice on the other line that sounded just like Cookie; “hello babe, where are you” I felt the blood run out of my face, my eyes expanded and if i wasn’t already sitting I would have fallen, my date looks at me and he picks up that something is off, so i try to carry the conversation a bit.
“are you high” i asked him “what are you doing up”
Cookie who by now must know im up to something laughs and repeats the question, i try to change the subject by telling him about my day and a bunch of unnecessary shit. But by now my date raises his eyebrows fully aware that i must be talking to a boyfriend.
Then Cookie asks me again “where are you” I was so shocked that I couldn’t do anything but laugh, Cookie by now is shouting at the top of his voice saying next time i’m with a man and he calls i shouldn’t answer.

BUSTED!!!!!

Friends ask me what would Cookie do if he caught me with another man, he would be too happy to care, finally he would have a legit reason to get rid of me
