BRAIDS, BRAIDSSSS, BRAIDZZZZZZZZZZ

All the hollywood chicas are now rocking braids. From Solange to Ciara...even Kim K wore braids for her music video (Dont get me started with this music career of hers). Anyway, so we braids are officially back and I hope to see a lot of chicas rocking them. I remember back in primary school there were a occassions where I had extensions even though I HATED them and haven't had them since. However, I think this summer I will be letting go of the remy and try some long chunky extensions or ghana braids. If your really dearing, why not put some shells, beads in em.

Check out some of the fab chicas who have rocked braids and rocked them very well:

YOUTUBE TALENT!

So remember my post last week about Anhalya. Well I was browsing on youtube and saw a new video from her. Now I love Miguel Jontel - Sure thing (If you havent got his mixtape, google it and download NOW). Anyway Anhayla has covered 'Sure Thing' and I think i like it better than the original and now thats saying something. She's added her own flavour to it as usual. I will downloaded this for sure.

Here's the vid: 

I also came across English Frank the other day. Everyone on twitter has been going on about him so i thought i'd check it out for myself. Love it! The UK definitely has talent and it's about time we start fully pushing our music! Check it this video on SBTV:

 

EVENT ALERT: ANGIE STONE

2011 is defo the year for concerts. So far i've been to J Cole and The Foriegn Exchange concerts. I will be attending Dwele on 1st April, Blackatar: Mos Def, Talib Kweli etc on 10th May and Wiz Khalifa on 17th May. I definitely plan on attending many more. (I was going to see Giggs on Wednesday but his whole tour got cancelled *shakes fist at the police*

Angie Stone has been around for years and I honestly love her music. I found out she will be performing at the Jazz Cafe on 14th and 16th June. Think I may take my mum to this one. Angie Stone's music is quite grown, soulful and as for her voice Pftttt. I say you get yourself down there.

POETRY TIME: MAYA ANGELOU

TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL - Maya Angelou

We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.

We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.

STREET STYLLLIIIIEEEE
