Halloween is a silly azz holiday.  I haven’t dressed up in years but put the effort in to be the best darn pirate I could be this time around.  I know that this is supposed to be a kid’s holiday, but 30+thousand grown adults showed up for the Halloween Street party on Church Street this year.

This was the funniest costume I saw!!  Do you see the bills on his utility belt?!?!?!?

Just got paid, bored, and I’m shopping online. Someone please stop me!

I’m feeling this little turtleneck dress from Alloy.com.  At $39.50, I think it’s worth it.  Oh, and you NEED the belt too ($16.50)

This shirt from Victoria’s Secret is different.   I’m digging the sleeves on this one ($48.00)

Here’s another selection from Victoria’s secret.  A little pricey at $88.00 (and I’m not 100% on the front pockets), but I think it’s secccssy.

These would be great for skinny jeans.  Victoria’s secret is also giving 20% off BOOTS right now (coupon code 20BOOTS)…. Oh sweet baby Jesus!

I tried these on during my trip to Miami last month and was in love.  VS is giving em at 20% off right now! (Regular $149)

This Quontum Tie Tabard Dress would be a perfect compliment to a pair of sassy pumps or booties…$83.70. (The tie can go to the back too)

Forever21.com Cardigan.  (Great for the cold climate in my office) $27.80

With all of the social networking/photo sharing/blogging/micro-blogging/video-sharing  onine platforms out there, are you worried that people (possibly you) are over-exposed to the public these days?

We all have to admit, the advances in the internet have changed the world.  We can communicate with people anywhere, we can see and learn about things we’ve never seen before, and we can make friends with people we may never meet in ‘the real world’.  But on the dark side, some of us leave ourselves open to cyberstalking (which can easily spill over to  real-life stalking), discrimination, and personal turmoil.

Run a Google search on your screen-name or email address and you’ll see just how OPEN you really are.

Scenario #1
You apply for a job at xyz ,Inc.  Your resume includes your email address.  All your potential employer has to do is check on Google/myspace/facebook (And believe me, they LOVE to do it) and they’ll see whatever you’ve got posted on the net.  There’s nothing to stop this potential employer from judging you based off your profile, your personal thoughts, and your pictures (which could cost you a perfect opportunity at xyz, inc.).

Scenario #2
You work for xyz, inc and had a bad day at work.  First thing you do is get home and complain about it on your blog.  The page gets lots of hits and the following week,  you get FIRED for bringing bad publicity to your company.  Think it didn’t happen?  Ask the bloggers from dooce.com and ninetyninezeros,  and they’ll let you know, it’s DEFINITELY possible.

Scenario #3
You never know what type of person you’re going to be when  you ‘grow up’ and those wild photos you’ve got online may come back to bite you harder than you could ever imagine.  What if Obama had a MySpae page pack in his wild and crazy years of youth (that’s if MySpace had existed back then).  He already admitted that he experimented with lots of things and partied hard…if those photos were available on the web, he’d be screwed (and so would America right now)!

Hi everybody!  It’s me!  Thalie! LOL, I felt pretty cute today.  What’d you wear today?  Send me the photo / link and I’ll post ya later!  (nathalie407@yahoo.com)

Let me tell you why! Last night, after 8+ hours of hard work, my sister has me dye her hair jet black.

As you can see, the color was applied carefully,  evenly, just straight flawless (except for the split ends)! I even blow dried it afterwards by HAND.

Just look at it flowing in the wind!!!

So after all of that hard work with ALL her hair, guess what she paid me?

A whole two dollars! Now, what am I supposed to do with that Deena? You’re lucky you’re my sister, I would have cut all your hair off and burned it!  I guess this abuse comes with being sisters.  I’ll get you back soon!

You know I love you sis, I’d do anything for ya.

You’d think we had something better to do with bananas!

I’m trying to figure out what I’m going to wear for my birthday. Not that I have anything planned for it, but I at least need to be ready for whatever comes my way!

This reminded me a little of something Rhianna would wear. Probably rock it out with those signature heavy bangs she likes. Do the yellow shoes match? NO, but they’re an added pop of color, and I like yellow so THERE!

I saw Garcelle wearing this on Concreteloop.com and fell in LOVE. Too bad the dress is over $400.00 bucks! A girl can dream though can’t she?

I need help! What do I wear on my birthday!?!?!?
