It was all a dream

12 Apr

One of my favorite girl groups growing up was pop sensation, Dream. Four teenage girls from California, joined to form a pop group for one of the most infamous hip-hop producers of all time: P.Diddy. Melissa, Diana, Ashley and Holly, had two hit singles as the band Dream: “He loves you not” and “This is me”. They even toured with NSYNC and became America’s newest pop princess sweethearts. But as soon as they were going to record their sophomore album, back-up singer and blond, Melissa, decided she wanted to focus on her acting career and left the group. They did find a replacement in Casey another blond and created a more mature, sexier image. But it didn’t help regain their fans and status as a pop group, since the music scene was going towards more rock-pop than r&b and pop. They are no longer together but their website is still ali alive and well. Check it out! web.archive.org/web/20010123102000/thedreamsite.com/index_flat.html

the creator of ashmagazine’s career mission

12 Apr

My ultimate career aspirations are to create a successful magazine that deals with fashion, beauty, love & life advice towards a multicultural audience and  write a series of advice books for young women (ages 13-18), that is similar to the book, Ophelia Speaks, that deals with the everyday crisis of the average teenage girl: friendships, relationships, death in the family, problems with school (i.e. bullies, the coming out process, mean girls, boys who are too sexually aggressive, etc.)I am extremely passionate about pursuing a career in magazine journalism as well as a career in on-line media and writing I aspire to be a novelists as well. I would also like to be the producer/creator/writer of my own half-hour HBO sitcom based on my life as a teenager.

Candyman lyrics

 Christina Aguilera Photo My Fave singer of all time, Christina Aguilera. Here are the lyrics to “Candyman”

“Candyman”

Tarzan and Jane were wingin’ on a vine”
Candyman, Candyman
Sippin’ from a bottle of vodka double wine
Sweet sugar candy man

I met him out for dinner on a Friday night
He really had me working up an appetite
He had tattoos up and down his arm
There’s nothing more dangerous than a boy with charm
He’s a one stop shop, makes the panties drop
He’s a sweet-talkin’, sugar coated candy man
A sweet-talkin’, sugar coated candyman

Ooo yeah

He took me to the Spider Club at Hollywood and Vine
We drank champagne and we danced all night
We shook the paparazzi for a big surprise
the gossip tonight will be tomorrow’s headline

He’s a one stop shop, makes my cherry pop
He’s a sweet-talkin’, sugar coated candy man
A sweet-talkin’, sugar coated candyman

Hey yeah

He’s a one stop shop, makes my cherry pop
He’s a sweet-talkin’, sugar coated candy man oh
A sweet-talkin’, sugar coated candyman

Woo yeah

Well by now I’m getting all bothered and hot
When he kissed my mouth he really hit the spot
He had lips like sugar cane
Good things come to boys who wait

Tarzan and Jane were swingin’ on a vine
candy man, candy man

Sipping from a bottle of vodka double wine
candy man, candy man

Sweet sugar candy man
He’s a one stop, gotcha hot, making all the panties drop
Sweet sugar candy man
He’s a one stop, got me hot, making my uh pop
Sweet sugar candy man
He’s a one stop, get it while it’s hot, baby don’t stop
Sweet sugar

He got those lips like sugar cane
Good things come for boys who wait

He’s a one stop shop with a real big egh
He’s a sweet-talkin’, sugar coated candyman

Tarzan and Jane were swingin’ on a vine

Sippin’ from a bottle of vodka double wine
Jane lost her grip and a-down she fell
Squared herself away as she let out a yell

“Glamourous”

“Glamorous”
(feat. Ludacris)

If you ain’t got no money take yo’broke ass home
You say: If you ain’t got no money take yo’broke ass home
G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S, yeah G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S

We flying the first class
Up in the sky
Poppin’ champagne
Livin’ the life
In the fast lane
And I wont change
By the Glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous (the glamorous life)
By the Glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

Wear them gold and diamonds rings
All them things don’t mean a thing
Chaperons and limousines
Shopping for expensive things
I be on the movie screens
Magazines and boogie scenes
I’m not clean, I’m not pristine
I’m no queen, I’m no machine
I still go to Taco Bell
Drive through, raw as hell
I don’t care, I’m still real
No matter how many records I sell
After the show or after the Grammies
I like to go cool out with the family
Sippin’, reminiscing on days when I had a Mustang
And now I’m in.

I’m talking Champagne wishes, caviar dreams
You deserve nothing but all the finer things
Now this whole world has no clue what to do with us
I’ve got enough money in the bank for the two of us
Brother gotta keep enough lettuce
To support your shoe fetish
Lifestyles so rich and famous
Robin Leach will get jealous
Half a million for the stones
Taking trips from here to Rome
So If you ain’t got no money take yo’broke ass home
G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S, yeah G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S

I got problems up to here
I’ve got people in my ear
Telling me these crazy things
That I don’t want to know
I’ve got money in the bank
And I’d really like to thank
All the fans, I’d like to thank
Thank you really though
Cause I remember yesterday
When I dreamt about the days
When I’d rock on MTV, that be really dope
Damn, It’s been a long road
And the industry is cold
I’m glad my daddy tell me so, he let his daughter know.

tinted moisturizer!

5 Apr

tinted_model1.jpg I definitely recommend buying Cover Girl’s CG Smoothers Tinted Moisturizer, as a back up to whenever you just don’t feel like putting up with the hassle of making yourself even more beautiful everyday. I as user, i find that its very beneficial. The SPF 15 helps with the sun rays and the constant talk of aging with the skin, it works for mostly all skin types, it blends in with your skin tone (there are four shades, ranging from fair/medium to dark). And its oil-free, so it won’t clog up your pores. This is a product that is perfect for the spring and summer weather (whenever that will come, LOL) and to add with a bronzer to complete that summer glow.

Before He Cheats

4 Apr

 Carrie Underwood

Although I can tolerate some songs by Shania Twain. Leann Rimes and maybe the dixie chicks,I’m not a big fan of country music. But I love the message in this song.

“Before He Cheats”

Right now he’s probably slow dancing with a bleach blonde tramp,
and she’s probably getting frisky.
right now, he’s probably buying her some fruity

little drink cause she can’t shoot whiskey
Right now, he’s probably up behind her with a

pool-stick, showing her how to shoot a combo
And he don’t know

That I dug my key into the side of his

pretty little souped up four wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seat
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,
slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next time he’ll think before he cheats.

Right now, she’s probably up singing some
white-trash version of Shania karaoke
Right now, she’s probably saying “I’m drunk”
and he’s a thinking that he’s gonna get lucky,
Right now, he’s probably dabbing on three dollars

worth of that bathroom polo And he don’t know

That I dug my key into the side of his

pretty little souped up four wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seats,
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires
Maybe next time he’ll think before he cheats.

I might’ve saved a little trouble for the next girl,
Cause the next time that he cheats
Oh, you know it won’t be on me

Ohh not on me
Cause I dug my key into the side of

his pretty little souped up four wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seat
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights
slashed a hole in all four tires

Maybe next time he’ll think before he cheats
Ohh Maybe next time he’ll think before he cheats
Ohh before he cheats

If I had an Ipod….

I really like Jay-Z’s new single, “Hollywood” featuring Beyonce, it seems like whenever Jay and B get together, their songs are pretty good, the chemistry definitely shows. I also like Hellogoodbye’s song “Here in your arms”. The video for it very funny, kind of an ode to the geeks of the 80′s. Although on some websites they’re labeled as a punk/emo band, their song, “Here in Your Arms”, definitely sounds more trance and house music rather than rock.  And Maroon 5′s new single, “Makes me Wonder”, is the perfect song for spring time. The inspiration from this song is definitely inspired by the 70′s with some pop elements added. To listen to it, go to http://www.z100.com/pages/media/playlist.html ,go the bottom and click on Maroon 5, “Makes Me Wonder”.
