Hey Glossy Ones,

This Monday’s edition is inspired by items I saw in one of the recent Neiman Marcus catalogs (the title on the cover is “Accessorize Me”).  Once I went to the site to pull pics, I came across other items that begged to be posted. 

Luxury is defined as “a material object, service, etc., conducive to sumptuous living, usually a delicacy, elegance, or refinement of living rather than a necessity.”  I’m a “key word” kind of lady, so the key word for me in that definition is necessity.  In essence, luxury could mean unnecessary.  For some of us, a shoe is a shoe is a shoe, and that’s great. 

Keeping in mind “Counting Up The Cost,” my motto = You Have To Treat Yourself Sometime!  Not all the time, but sometime.  Everything in moderation!

MONDAY MELODY

The-Dream (who wrote “Umbrella,” “Bed,” and “Just Fine”) is no longer behind the scenes.  Is your name mentioned in “Shawty Is A Ten?”  Even if it’s not, you’re still a 10!  Check out the remix featuring R. Kelly on The-Dream’s MySpace page.  Also check out his song “Falsetto” – it will most likely be his next single.

MONDAY FLASHBACK

I heard you last week Jam Bella!  Here is Guy’s “Let’s Chill.”  “From the first time I saw your face, Girl I knew I had to have you.” – I LOVE that line!

LIFE OF LUXURY

Here are my shoe and purse picks from Neiman Marcus.

This Christian Louboutin “Speechio Very Prive Pump” is fire!  I love the covered platform and although the highest heel in my collection is four inches, I am inclined to give these 4.75 inch bad boys a try.

There is nothing sweeter than a matching shoe/purse combo.  I love the buckles on the  Miu Miu “Stretch Ballet Flat” and on the Miu Miu “Pleated Leather Hobo.”  The hobo is pictured from a side angle in the catalog and it shows three buckles on each side of the shoulder strip and it has “Miu Miu” embroidered on the side of the bag.

I couldn’t decide which Prada flat to post, so I am posting both!  The “Linea Rossa Squared Cap-Toe Ballerina” and the Mary Jane “Linea Rossa Leather Flat” are too darling.  They look pretty comfy too.

I LOVE this glossy Prada “Vernice Bowler.”  I love the shape, the colors, everything.  The matching shoe is cute (click the link above to view), but a matching pump would have been great.

Once again, I came to a hard decision – which color to post?  The black and brown Gucci “Bonnie Mid Heel Platform Pump” can do no wrong in either color.

The Burberry print was always a little too busy for me, but I love the splash of color it brings to this boot.  The Burberry “Check-Trim Leather Boot” is supa dupa fly!

Finally, I love the simple, classic but modern look of Kate Spade’s “Small Carla Hobo.”

MONDAY PRAISE

I hope Tonex returns to the music industry soon!  Here is “Make Me Over,” one of my faves.

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. ~~~Psalm 51:10

Have A Wonderful Week!

Hey Glossy Ones!

Yall know how we do it on Fridays, so let’s get to it….

FRIDAY MELODY

I love the hotness that is Nelly.  He looks so sexy in the pic on his website.  Who knew you could look sexy with brass knuckles?  I’m not even mad at Ashanti – work it out for the ladies at home Girl!  A lot of people are not feeling “Wadsyaname,” but I like it.  I love this lyric in verse two:

You playin with your toys, but your toys don’t bite,

See they don’t talk s*** and they don’t hit it how you like.

Alright now Nelly – but the right toy is great in a pinch! LOL!

FREEK-A-LEEK

How does Petey Pablo do that with his tongue at minute -3:04……and can any of you send instructions on how to do it? LOL!

LINGERIE PICK -WHITE HOT

While some think white is boring in the bedroom, it certainly doesn’t have to be.  Spice things up in this babydoll (above - Sizes XS-XL) and in this lacy bra and panty set (you can NEVER have too many bra and panty sets!) from Frederick’s of Hollywood (below - Bra Sizes 34B-42DD ; Panty Sizes S-2X).

HOW TO GET IN THE MOOD

This is strictly from my experience, so take it how you like!  This is a short list because it normally doesn’t take too much to get me ready, but there are times when I need a little push.  Here are my tips for women to get in the mood for sex:

• Think about the last time you had great sex – let that memory increase your anticipation
• Put on something sexy – if you look sexy, you will feel sexy
• Wear your favorite sexy scent
• Increase the length of fourplay – more stimulation will help increase your desire
• Listen to your favorite male singer sing a love/lust song
• Try a stimulation cream
• Read a good erotica book – Zane is indeed the Queen of Erotica!

Let us know if you have any additions!

FRIDAY FLASHBACK

Ladies, do you remember where you were when you saw “You’re Making Me High” by Toni Braxton for the first time?!  Whew, I will take baby at minute -1:19 (YUM!) and baby at minute -0.33 (there is nothing sexier than a man who can flex his pecs!).

This song might have laid low compared to his other songs, but “Taste Your Love” by Horace Brown (remember “One For The Money?”)  is a classic in my book.  Great lyrics, nice beat, great lyrics, attractive guy, oh, and did I mention great lyrics?

Have A Great Weekend!
