Leave it to Mary to say it how it really is. I’ve been a fan of Mary for a while now. Hell, hip hop wouldn’t be what it is today if it weren’t for You’re All I Need. But that’s another post in itself.
I constantly hear people (yes men and women) talking about how much better off they would be if they got with someone else. I’m not going to front, some of them would be. But for the most part, people fall for the “grass is greener on the other side of the fence” philosophy a little too much for my taste. Relationships take work and it can’t be happy all the time. You have to experience the bad times to appreciate the good.
With that being said, I also hear people (again mean and women) blame themselves for the ending of a relationship. Most of the time, it’s because the other person made them feel that way. If you give your all to your relationship and you try your best, then that’s all you can give. Nobody’s going to treat you as good as I AM. Hold your heads up high Dangerously Beautiful people.
Ladies, please tell me I’m not the only one. Please tell me you have discovered the internet goings-on of celebrity stylist June Ambrose. She is filling my twitter home page with my daily shot of couture. Her vlog is my boost through the tough times. These impromptu videos are reality shopping at its finest, complete with non-stop laughter from sales associates, rich women walking through shots and the fabulous June responding to it all in her classy-yet-hilarious way. Just imagine: at a time when I’ve had to forcibly restrain myself from shopping, I have a tour guide – a shopping buddy – through all that is haute in the heart of New York. She prepares me for what’s new so that I can have some level of control over when I am hit by the shopgasm and the (gasp) hauteattack.
Tell me you haven’t nearly fainted at the sight of a shoe, no a boot, more beautiful than you could’ve imagined (tear). I have.
The Ambrose Effect is far reaching. Have you not seen the Stiletto Workout? I now understand that you MUST have beautiful shoes for beautiful calves. It’s symbiotic. Oh, and think of the gorgeous ones. Jay-Z is shining the light on just how sexy it is to be a grown a** man. Mary J. got ‘em telling their mamas that they’re in love with a grown woman. Kim Cattrall put (almost) all the sex in Sex in the City. The list goes on and on. A total image like that is not something you’re just born with. These people have the talent and the charisma, but the total image takes a well developed knowledge and understanding of modern culture and classic style. They say, “behind every great man is an even greater woman”. I say, behind every great look there is a woman with vision. Her name is June.
