Over the weekend, Clark Atlanta University celebrated Homecoming and singer/songwriter Keri Hilson and BET’s Dorion Standberry (of College Hill fame) dropped by to get students registered to vote. The event was also taped for Dorion’s upcoming BET special, What’s Happening with Dorion Standberry?
I attended and it was a lot of fun. Keri signed autographs while her new singles, “Return the Favor” and “Energy” played.
October 6th is the last day to register in Georgia (and many other States), so it was good they came through to get the support of Clark Atlanta University students and alumni for the cause!

Earlier this month, we had you submit questions to celebrity hair stylist Ursula Stephen. Ursula read your questions and comments and has responded with your much needed answers and advice…
Q: I want finger waves sooo bad but I’m afraid they are not quite back in style, are they?
A: Girl get your finger waves! Don’t worry about whats not in style, do you!. Its not always about what’s in, its about what looks good on you. And by the way I love finger waves - have you seen the Maroon 5 video featuring Rihanna, wink wink. hahaha
Q: I’ve been getting sew in’s (my natural hair braided) and have noticed growth with my hair when I get it redone every couple months. Is having my hair braided helping or hurting my hair?
A: Weaves do not MAKE your grow. They simply create an illusion. Hair growth comes from within, you can achieve this by eating healthy, taking vitamins (GNC makes a good one). Biotin is also a great hair growth supplement. Keeping up with your trims and conditioning treatments is how is you maintain healthy hair… baby your hair, its your beauty!

Just before the 4th of July weekend, I attended D. Woods from Danity Kane’s birthday party at Luckie Lounge in downtown Atlanta with some friends. The party was great.

Other guests included Bryan-Michael Cox, Lloyd, Mychael Knight and many more.
Excuse the lighting and bluriness of a couple of photos! The lighting was so weird!

Sorry for the lack of updates, but we are down in New Orleans for the Essence Music Festival. We’ll be back on track in a couple of days. lol!
Anyway, I finally got to meet the talented Ms. Tasha Smith on Friday during Day One of the festival. She spoke during the ‘Leading Ladies Talk About The Representation of Black Women In The Media’ panel and signed autographs for her fans. She even took time to chat it up with me & J. Dakar and mentioned that she is a big fan of the site. Let’s just say I’m an even bigger fan now that I met her in person. She’s genuine and definitely deserves her props. Thanx Tasha & Joseph!

Over the weekend, I attended Solange’s show here in Atlanta with a couple of friends, including Dorion from BET’s College Hill: Atlanta. The show was amazing - Solange is really proving herself this time around. Not only did she look absolutely amazing, but she performed with a broken toe, and sounded wonderful. She had a stage presence that was really captivating. Her set was fresh, and she was just a pleasure to watch.
I also would just like to wish Solange a happy 22nd birthday tomorrow! Her party is today in LA!
