Cultured in Media

Of course we all know that I am aware of the difference between hair, here, and hear. For goodness sake, I was an English major in high school, but that's beside the point. This summer has been one of epic humid proportions for the last few weeks. The heat wave came and pushed my edges to the point of out of control. Who want's to walk around with hair that looks as if it hasn't been washed in months? So I found a few styles that have kept me cool, looking cute, and ready to go at a moment's notice. 1. The braid-around (Goddess Braid): This is the style that I have worn for the past two weeks. Of course I refresh after every three days because I have to co-wash but otherwise, the style is quick, easy, and fashionable. 2. Twisted bun: 3: Wash N Go: Even though it is hot as ever outside, some still prefer to have their hair down. This is for you. First you wash, then let dry after applying leave - in conditioner, then you tuck the ends in or throw it into a pon...

After 13 years of marriage to Kendu Isaacs, soulful singer, Mary J. Blige filed for divorce after it was determined "irreconcilable differences." Kendu Isaacs was Blige's manager, or should I say former manager. What is a good thing about this situation is that the couple did not have any children together, although Isaac has three children. Mary does not have any children. If you recall, the couple has been in the news regarding their relationship since back in 2009 when an altercation led to Mary J. Blige punching her husband in the face at an event. People claim she was yelling at Kendu asking whether or not he was going to "Chris Brown" her. Interesting. “He always has my back – he’s going to fight to the death for Mary J Blige,” she admitted. “The downside is that there’s no separation – it’s on all the time. When you don’t feel like answering to your manager, he’s still your husband. If one of you doesn’t want to talk about something right now, you h...

Time flys by when you are living life right? Remember the popular girl-group, TLC, with the spunky members Chili, T-Boz, and the deceased Left Eye? Well remember T-Boz with the raspy voice that captured everyone's attention? Also remember when T-Boz became pregnant with her then boyfriend, rapper Mack-10? Well now that you got the jist of it and a run-down in questions, take a look at how much T-Boz and Mack-10's baby girl Chase Rolison has grown. Chase is now 15 years old. Now I really feel old.

Alfre Woodard, one of Hollywood's greatest hidden talents. Alfre Woodard, aside from being an actress, is also a political activist. I came across her twitter page and saw how devoted she was to bring awareness to gun laws, politics, black lives, and all lives that are affected by violence. I just thought I would make this blog post to honor a true talent, a person who does not fight for one's rights, but all. Thank you, Alfre Woodard. Her social media pages: Twitter Instagram To join the fight for Black Lives and equal rights for all, be a part of the movement .

Rasheeda and Kirk's baby boy, Karter Frost, is such a cutie pie and he seems to have inherited his mother's beautiful hair. He is just the cutest little one with his beautiful skin tone. I just want to snuggle with him and spoil him with all the gifts in the world, lol Welcome to the Celebrity Baby's Club, Baby Karter.

Of course Kim Kardashian-West could not let the summer start without making a pictorial statment as usual. The Keeping Up With the Kardashian's reality TV star recently uploaded some pictures to her social media page showing how to waste milk, I'm sorry, I meant it was to show how to be a hot milf. So from that picture of her pouring milk on herself, I was led to the singer, Fergie. The pictures are actually clips from a music video on hot mothers by singer Fergie called "M.I.L.F$."  The music video has the hottest and newest mothers including Chrissy Tiegen (mother of a newborn and wife to John Legend), Ciara (mother of rapper Future's son), and Devon Aoki (Fashion model) among a few others. I watched the video and all I can say is...I am not a fan. The video was said to "uplift" women to be empowered by being a MILF. Umm, yeah, sure. It seems like Fergie has fallen into the over sexualized category as every other artist today. No...

Since Gucci Mane's release from prison on May 26th, 2016, there have been rumors circling that the controversial rapper was cloned while behind bars. Fans claim he does not sound the same (noting his slimmer appearance), look the same, and the infamous ice cream cone tattoo that once overtook his face, is no longer present. Of course conspiracy theorists were all over this one for obvious reasons, but whose to say that Gucci didn't go to prison, worked out harder than ever since he had nothing but time on his hands in here, and also had the tattoo removed (by prison techniques, I suppose. Albeit tattoos can fade over time.) Also, maybe his way of talking more like an adult is just not part of his reformed thinking? I would hope he came home from prison a better person with a different mindset otherwise, he will be right back in there due to the same way of thinking. What is your opinion?

OMG. Talking about creepy, creative, and crazy....that would mean talking about Kanye West and his insane new showing of his song Famous off of album, The Life of Pablo. Watching the "video" from the start you can tell it is going to be something that is hard to watch, yet intriguing to where you cannot take your eyes off of. It begins with Kanye west in the center of the bed, then spreads out to show Kim Kardashian (his wife), then ventures to the others in the bed. The "famous" people all are laying on one huge appearing to be in a deep sleep. The bodies are all nude. The bodies are not real however, they are replicas of course that also breathe. Among the bodies on the bed to the left of Kanye are Taylor Swift, Chris Brown, Rihanna, Donald Trump, Anna Wintour, and George Bush. To the right f Kim Kardashian-West is the man who blew up her celebrity -Ray J, Kanye's ex - Amber Rose, Caitlyn Jenner, and lastly Bill Cosby. Can you now saw awkward, creepy, a...

Have you saw the new Progressive commercial with the boy band? I absolutely love it. Progressive never ceases to amaze me with the antics. First it was Flo being the annoying customer service rep, then she ventured into the "hood" and tried to "hustle" insurance for a bargain, now she is a manager of a band? What's next? Oh, can't forget the "check mark" box is tired of being ignored so he wants a shot at fame. Gotta' love it. Having experience with Progressive car insurance in the past, I must say they do give one hell of a bargain, especially with the "name your price" tool now. I've been with Progressive for years and just recently had no other option but to switch out due to moving out of state and they by far are the best I have experienced both with customer service and price.

Whatever happened to Miss. Cleo? You the infamous "see it all" psychic from the 90s? The one who used to say, "Call me now," with the Caribbean accent? Yes that one. I wonder where she is now. To answer that question, I had to also find an answer because that is what you came here for too, right? Well first I found out that  Miss Cleo is not even Jamaican after all and was born right in Los Angeles, California. Before she appeared on TV as Miss Cleo, she had been in production for several plays she had wrote but fell into debt heavily, which caused her to flee leaving the crew with no type of payment. She told them that she had to leave because she developed bone cancer. After various solicitation charges and lawsuits, the network of Miss Cleo was shut down. After that, she appeared in a few car dealership commercials in Florida but that was back in the early 2000s. Only thing recent on her is her semi documentary about the rise and fall of Miss Cleo. ...
