The fabulous Kimora Lee Simmons was in Malaysia not so long ago promoting her book #Fabulosity. She hosted an event "High Heeled Warriors" where she shared a little on what the book is about, I was blessed enough to have been there and also meet her in person. My 1st impression of her wasn't what I expected it to be, I am used to being the tallest around but WOW! She was quite tall, elegant & very friendly.
I recently finished reading the book Fabulosity & trust, it is not just Fashion, its basically everything. Kimora being a mix of black & Asian had put her through a few hard times throughout her childhood, the reason why I love the book is its empowering to every woman out there, it speaks every woman's language & for that I give her a standing ovation.

My favorite part of the book is how after each chapter she shared a couple of quotes that have inspired her and could inspire another soul, quotes of many around the world, whether Models/designers/stylists/musicians/actors etc... I think I've read quite a number of books by models or watched documentaries, Kimora's had a different flavor, it had a little extra & that's why its worth a read ; )...
If you haven't read the book yet, it should be on your to do list =)!
Just a couple of friends here and there whom put a musical band together and came up with ATM. What's so special about them? They are monsters when it comes to their music and they made sure people know that. Their 1st performance at "Limkokwing Fashion Club" was... Oh well, see for yourself:
A combination of all sorts of music, from singers, rappers, beat boxers and instrument players. ATM caught people's attention faster than expected, well actually! I sort of expected it, they are just too fly =)...
Their 2nd performance at Halloween, still spoken of simply highlighted everyone's Halloween and the crowd loved it. Performing Rolling in the deep where they put their own twist to it & Thriller where they also put another twist to it, I can honestly say "ATM, you're so FLY!"...
ATM also appeared last night on HITZ.FM #MagicOfLimkokwing where Philo, Povilas, MJ and of course the one and only Jonah represented the crew. If you missed out, it will come up soon on Limkokwing's website.
Wow! There's just so much to say about ATM and it hasn't even been a month yet since they formed the band, that's how they do.
ATM is TOP 9 & currently top votes for Malaysia Music Festival, here are their auditions:
Please do vote, it counts. Let's put those boys on that big stage because they've grown together to own it =)...
Yesterday was Miss Universe crowing and boy am I happy! .
Some people have asked me wondering why it was very important for me to keep to date with Miss Universe, I'll explain: Miss Universe is like football, I support and hope my team wins, in the pageant's case.. Its one of the very many games now a days women get to play the main role in and actually achieve a goal through
Why this year the excitement was extra spicy? A pure black African woman took the crown back home, Miss Angola.
Leila Lopes, Miss Universe 2011 - Angola.
Its been 11 years(1999) since not just an African woman was crowned Miss Universe but since a Black woman has been crowned Miss Universe.
I am extremely happy as I know every nation in Africa is probably celebrating her success in the pageant. Miss Angola is one gorgeous, beautiful smiley, powerful & intelligent woman and she deserved it like no other.
Best believe this woman is going places higher than Miss Universe.
First of let me start by explaining what Albinism is:
Albinism is a genetic disease that causes loss of pigment/color within the skin, which results in making a person incredibly light skinned in all parts of the body including hair & eyes.
There are two "Albino Models" in the industry that are incredibly talented and gorgeous. Diandra Forrest & Shaun Ross They are my favorite for today and I just had to share.
Shaun appeared on the Tyra Banks show a few months back this year and other than struggling being an Albino child, he fought for his life after getting stabbed 7 times where each stab was 6 inches deep.
Diandra also struggled with peoples judgement & comments throughout her childhood, to the extent of violence at times.

Their story is quite inspiring, through all the struggles, look at them now, JUST GORGEOUS!
