Usher ft Will.I.Am - OMG

2010-03-30T18:54:00.001-07:00

“They call me US-HER-RA-YM-OND….” and “You remind me of a girl that I once knew” but not forgetting the song that taught us how to do the thunder clap and rockaway with a R&B touch, “I said Yeah, Yeah…Yeah, Yeah” all these lyrics make up some of the biggest hits created by R&B superstar, Usher Raymond.

Having released his album ‘Here I Stand’ in 2008, and going on to spot the biggest pop star since the late Michael Jackson; Justin Bieber. Usher is back, with a new sound thanks to the auto-tonic/ pance (Pop-Dance) genius Will.I.Am.

This video has to be received with an open mind, this track shows Usher’s maturity as an artist, with him being able to change his sound but keep the Usher edge.

Released to national outlets on March 30th 2010.

I give you Usher ft Will.I.Am – OMG (The Official Video)

Peace, Love and OMG :O

Vex- Pour Some Hennessey

2010-03-19T05:39:00.001-07:00

Formerly known as Vexman, the forest hill answer to (blank)…. Although I can’t seem to come up with a comparison don’t get me wrong, I haven’t heard such strong, passionate lyrics without containing a swear word in the longest of time. ‘Pour Some Hennessey’ is the brand new video released beside Vexes mixtape ‘Anger Management’ which is due to flood the roads late this month.

I’m not generally a Hennessey drinker, but this song contains such truth and lip releasing metaphors, I can’t help but love it, I see great things for this young south London boy, coming from nothing isn’t easy, but making yourself something is the hardest thing to achieve.

I present to you rap fanatics: Pour Some Hennessey – VEX 2010 (Anger Management)

Love, Peace and Hennessy

Nathan- Pass Out FREESTYLE RMX

2010-03-07T10:01:00.001-08:00

South London singing sensation Nathan is back on the radar, from the days of ‘Come into my room’ to his newly released song ‘Caught me slippin’ featuring the likes of Flo-Rida. Nathan is back, and by the looks of it; staying here for good.

Currently ripping up the states, Nathan has come along way since that day when he met Alicia Keys, his charm, ambition and showmanship still remains; even if he isn’t willy bouncing.

It seems as if Nathan’s talents don’t just lie in his ability to hit a high note and stay in pitch, this Lewisham lad can also spit a couple bars, and if I must say; they are as hot as the sun right now.

Spitting a few rhymes over Tinie Tempah’s -Pass Out, I present Nathan doing his own thing whilst talking a visit to the RNG Show!

Peace, Love and Passsss Out

Shooting Star Poets

2010-02-25T19:53:00.001-08:00

Gun and knife crime isn’t just affecting the lives of Londoners, but most recently the contagious culture has found its way towards the northern city of Liverpool and area of Merseyside. SAMM (Support after murder and manslaughter) have been supporting a group of six grime emcee’s and a female singer to create and release their debut single Campaign Time.

Due to the fact that such extreme and violent crime is on the increase in the area’s of Liverpool and Merseyside the group have come together under the umbrella of ‘Strummerville’ and committed themselves to change. Having all focused their energies on the positive attributes of their hometowns, the group have strategically targeted young people through their music. Although Shooting Star Poets are a northern based group, London emcees Trim and Obese also feature on this heartfelt rhythm.

Campaign Time is due for release on the 5th April 2010 and will be officially launched at Everton FC on the 31st March 2010.

Below you can watch the video for Campaign Time; regardless of the quality I suggest that you listen to the lyrics and be gobsmacked, for this group isn’t generic, but the message is.

Peace, Love and Life

Mariah Carey ft Nicki Minaj- Up Out My Face

2010-01-28T11:28:00.001-08:00

So MiMi is once again providing a platform for yet another rapper, having previously worked with the likes of, Missy Elliot, Da Bratt and ODB who would blame her for seeing this opportunity and flying with it.

Nicki Minaj aka The Black Barbie has been the icon and influence for many women around the world, contagiously seeing these young ladies change their names and image. Size 6 waist and size 14 hips, easily brought, but not so easily executed.

I feel it’s my Diva Duty to present this new video by Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj called – Up Out My Face.

I hope you enjoy Lads and Ladettes.

Peace, Love and Pure satisfaction

Diva and the Magnificent Dynamo

2010-01-03T19:47:00.001-08:00

Magic has always had a space in my oversized heart, possibly from childhood when my mum brought me the ultimate beginners guide to magic from our local Sainsbury’s. Going through life constantly hearing “let me work my magic” whether a dress maker, a doctor trying to cure a common cold, avoiding my allergies to medication or a guy trying to talk to me.

However Dynamo defines the definition of amazing. I witnessed a room of like minded people be shocked with Dynamo’s talent of illusions, card tricks and unexplainable talent, one person after another agreed that he makes the world wonder if ‘Jesus, was even that great’. An out of context statement? No way, I wonder if this Bradford town street magician is an evolved, reincarnated version of Jesus. In a time of hope, is Dynamo the prophet our world has been looking for? Check out his showreel and tell me what you feel.

I’d like to add, I have never seen something so real to the eye, but unreal to the spirit, meeting Dynamo has given me hope, listening to his story, seeing his progression. Amazement is an understatement to my emotions at this point.

Love, Peace and Magical

Wiley- Now Hear This!

2010-01-02T06:25:00.001-08:00

Two days into Twenty-Ten, Wiley releases this flow sacrificing, This-Is-Why-He-Is-The-KING war dub, strategically aimed at the industry’s high dred and no I’m not talking about Jammer, Big H and the well known village leader of grime, Trim.

Has Wiley spat too much saliva? No, not at all, this track has been on replay, not because it’s a sick, sick track, but I’m trying to grasp what the eski-king is saying. Have a listen for yourselves.

Twenty- Ten; The Year Of The Tiger!

2010-01-01T08:30:00.001-08:00

Christmas 2009, could be considered one of the most memorable Christmas's of my adult life, being surrounded by great family members, friends and most of all, I feel as if I found out the true meaning of December 25th.

Growing up on the good side of the grime infested, rat bearing town of Catford, South East London, you don’t get given many chances to prove yourself before being written off, or disregarded in society like many before you, but having said that, there are people out there, waiting for you to realise your inner strength and capabilities and to see you on the good side of the grime, the life which awaits many; 2010 is where it all shall begin.

This post isn’t to vent my anger out on anyone specifically, but a mere platform for me to say, what I have to say, in a way that I enjoy, for words are my life, as music is to a composer.

January 1st 2010

I find that I have 40 New Year messages, three of those being personal, 37 broadcast messages, which 5000 Blackberry users copied from previous text messages. I can’t help but notice my twitter timeline is filling up with New Year banter, banter that will most probably be forgotten about by March. What seems to get me is, are we in the depths of insecurity that we need to assure others of our existence? Why must I broadcast my plans, for my future, when these plans affect only one individual directly; myself.

In 2010, we need to prosper, and make this year count. We all saw 2012 (the movie), how can we stop this from happening? The answer to this ridiculous question is, we are so beyond stopping this event as we live in an unpredictable land, we need to succeed, we need to learn to be who we are as individuals, we need to be OURSELVES.

In 2009, we saw many inconvenient and tragic deaths, varying from Michael Jackson to Jade Goody and Heath Ledger, these people were once normal people, as I and all of you; death waits for no one, so don’t sit around waiting for him/her to come knocking at your door. I have compiled ten easy steps to surviving 2010…

1) Save 30% of anything you get, understandably not everyone is in the financial situation where they are capable of saving 30%, but try, if this is too much of a chunk out of your student loan, wage or JSA, try and save 10% as it’s a percentage more than 2009.

2) Cook, many say that cooking is a long process, there’s not enough time in the day, but cooking is one of the fundamentals in life, how do you expect to survive on chicken nuggets and egg with chips, regardless of the protein and fibre content of these foods, cooking is fun, creative and a great relationship builder. (Every guy loves a girl who can cook, and every girl loves a guy who can cook.)

3) Don’t be too stush to think outside the box, I’m not saying for everyone to go down to their local charity shop, because there just not the same anymore, but there are many websites and market stalls which you can buy clothes from, at a much cheaper price. I went to the clothes show live and saw these exact MARKET STALLS selling their clothes at RETAIL and BOUTIQUE prices, Think, buy and RECREATE!

4) Inevitably as adults/ young people, we want to go out, shake a leg, and drink, the likes of Storm, Movida and Aura can now be brought to our living rooms in the form of house parties and small, intimate gatherings –the reason I say this, is because we all go out, spend unimaginable amounts of money, drink, pay for cabs and then realise that you have a hangover, cramp in your feet or legs, and you’re 100 pounds out of pocket. On the other hand, you could go to free entry events and drink on your way there!

5) Spotify, is a new platform for artists to have their music played, a free streaming player in which you have to be signed up to, it’s far more cost effective than Itunes, the downfall being, you can’t download for free, but you can listen to thousands of tracks, free of charge.

6) Relationships, if you’re a dedicated reader to the world of the PotBellied Diva (PBD) you’ll know that when it comes to relationships, I tend to go off on a tangent, but fear not! I’ve come to the conclusion that you can’t run from people running you down, It’s time to give the opposite sex a chance, men and woman alike have been through near enough identical issues in relationships, you have the confused ones, the crazy ones and the violent ones; on the other extreme you have the loved up ones, the sexual ones and the we-were-once-friends ones. Take time and let what needs to happen, happen.

7) Read more, knowledge is prevailed via words, someone can express something to you, but the information that they hold may not be accurate. Words are beautiful, we have hundreds of libraries, thousands of index’s at the tips of our fingers. Read more and gain the knowledge that you deserve.

8) Take up hobbies, with recent technologies being upgraded and made to be almost like a part of the family, is this what we truly need to overcome the depression after the recession? Hobbies allow you to socialise and maintain a healthy mentality, all in the same instance. I’m going to take up Yoga and Sign Language, for my mental stability and to improve my communication.

9) Eat FIVE a day!

10) DIY, Do it yourself, if you’re not happy with the outcome of another person’s actions, do it yourself, don’t complain and keep it close to your heart, no man conquered the world alone, but one man can turn each conqueror against each other. (An example of society today.)

Peace, Love and Twenty- Ten

All This Diva Wants For Christmas Is….

2009-12-14T23:46:00.001-08:00

I haven’t been over indulging in Christmas this year, not that I don’t care about the season; it’s simply depressing. Nevertheless I have come up with a Christmas list. I secretly hope Santa has the internet and logs onto my blog, as this would assure my existence in 2010.

Christmas isn’t all about presents and what you can gain materially, it’s meant to involve spending quality time with your loved ones; if you haven’t got anyone, I’m sure there’s enough room around my table, to squeeze a few people in. We continuously depend on Christmas to depress us then excite us; in that exact order. We should all be happy that we’re housed, warm and have people around us, whether over the phone or physically. This is not a rant, this is my Christmas list, so be prepared.

1. I love Leopard print, It’s the only time I’m allowed to be an animal, I really would love a pair of Leopard print slippers and a dressing gown. Just so I can be as warm and smug like a cat. gwwwrrrl!

2. I want as many pillows that can fit on my bed, I want to be able to write in my own world of comfort and pillows. (Imagine the quality, the life, good diva times). And no it’s not because they act as sound mufflers.

3. Extreme? No, I need a Mac book, this is more of a necessity if anything, being a writer, you need to pack some power and as much as I hate to admit it, Acer just doesn’t provide the kick I need.

4. This doesn’t have to be a Christmas present, just a gift! To be honest, I love New York (I’m not talking about the hood loving Tiffany from MTV), I would love the opportunity to live in the big apple and breathe the same air, many successful writers and creative’s once were refreshed by. I want to study there, build my life on the other side of that big blue pond and see where and how far I get. (I’m hoping prime time TV, perhaps? Can you see me being an Oprah/ Mo’nique presenter?)

5. This isn’t something I physically want for myself, my last request is something I ask of everyone reading this right now. Christmas is a very lonely time, for a lot of people, I can not begin to stress how vital it is to make sure your friends are safe, and have somewhere to go. Socially you may not be responsible, morally you may not understand; ‘Imagine if you were in their shoes’.

You might not have the money to buy cards, or gifts, but a smile, a gesture and a hug is worth far more than an Iphone , and find it in your heart to invite your lonely friends around for Christmas dinner, your family won’t mind.

So I ask, you all

‘Offer A Helping Hand’ this Christmas.

Have a wicked Christmas everyone. Enjoy it, Relax and Drink!!

Peace, Love and Christmas wishes.

Put Your N’s On It….NaijaMan/Flygerian

2009-12-12T23:07:00.000-08:00

After a weekend of blatant intoxication, I sat in front of my friends 50 inch television, searching for inspiration. Generally when you’re bored, drunk or awake and have nothing to watch on the 999 channels provided by Sky, there is no other option than to channel hop. I seemed to come across a channel dedicated to Nigerian culture, at first with my non-racist, rude self I made a joke beyond the lines of “What are they going to show us? A chef telling us how to cook Jolloff rice for the whole village”. To my surprise I was mistaken, and my intentional pun was used against me. Statistically Nigeria is pioneering in both it’s film and music industries whilst combining rap, electro beats and our favourite Nollywood stars, whom are featured in these western influenced music videos. After physically coming to terms with my stomach muscles working overtime, due to the British African comedy show, this great video, of a tiny, little boy, RAPPING, like Weezy, Kid Cudi and Chingy; with a native twist.

He goes by the name of Lil JoJo, he was plastered over our computer screens in late 2008, showcasing his imitation of Jigga (Jay-Z). Who said viral video’s doesn’t create a star! He has recently released a Nigerian hip-hop song called Gini (I’m not African, so I don’t know what it means), although not age appropriate; it’s an actual catchy, toe tapping song.

Nigerian culture is forever expanding, and we’re seeing the Naija-Man and Flygerian brands create a following only witnessed by those on the front line. With artists such as Bigz, Kidderachi, Kid Bliss and Afrikan Boy standing strong and representing their culture, being Nigerian is no longer something to hide or be ashamed of. Being Nigerian is officially the new nationality to be. Ten years ago, we would have never predicted this change, although not from Africa directly, I’m very proud to see justice, poverty and life restore it’s original self. Where people can be, who they want to be.

Peace, Love and NaijaBoyz

Let’s Get It On! - Durex

2009-12-06T08:46:00.001-08:00

With Christmas and NYE in sight, many people; young and old will once again be living it large.

Consciously with alcohol, drugs and energy being distributed, whilst we all engage in our celebrations with family and friends, one thing many people forget, whilst in the mist of the moment is, to use a condom. Sexual transmitted diseases are becoming more common in our society, and regardless of how easily treated these diseases are becoming; equally there are as many infections, that can’t be cured.

So in the spirit of sexual health and great celebrations (dam right good protected sexual encounters). I think it’s my PBD duty to show you this AD from DUREX. (Prepare yourself, for shock).

Toni Braxton ft Trey Songz- Yesterday

2009-12-02T14:45:00.001-08:00

Yesterday is the new song presented to us by Toni Braxton, featuring the young sex addict Trey Songz, Yesterday is the ultimate sing –along.

With great composition, and adorable hooks, this is the break up song of 2009 but also the make-up song, (if you get my rowdy drift). One that will have heartbroken females, metrosexuals and gay guys alike, rehearsing this anthem as if their country had won an award. The classical arrangement of this song is far more than extraordinary and I feel as though it’s my greedy duty to give you this exclusive.

I present the aforementioned ‘Yesterday’ oh yeah did I fail to tell you, Trey Songz is a hottie in this video, but then all the chocolate guys gracing us with their presence seem to get me rewinding the video and contributing to the views. (100 times maybe lol).

Peace, Love and Yesterday

Diva-Dence

2009-12-01T15:36:00.001-08:00

Over the past few months, we can all admit that financially, we’ve been in a zone that simply replicate the ghost towns, of the recent ambushed Afghanistan.

In due course we will overcome this terrible situation, we now call the recession, I tend to visualise it as, ‘the ghetto, getting bigger’ but let’s not get into that, so much more controversy can be caused. (If I want to, that is).

So down to the cream of the crop, or the cheese. Diva-Dence is nothing more than plain simple, sexy, oozing confidence. It’s not generic, so imitation isn’t a form of flattery when it comes to Diva-Dence .

There is and will always be people around you, who hope nothing more, than to see you fail –in each and every attempt you take to strive. These exact people should be forbidden from your life, especially if you notice the hatred they have towards you –how do you know if someone wants to see you fail?

You know if someone wants to see you fail when, they enjoy when you’re down, they don’t have wise words of encouragement, and they throw things back in your face –just to see you struggle.

But we all need to remember, how can someone make you feel bad about yourself, you’re not in a competition with your hearth and your brain, because when it comes down to it, the same blood is being circulated. We as individuals control how we feel about ourselves, therefore in hindsight we control how people feel towards us.

Confidence is an attraction, am I right? Diva-Dence however is irresistible.

Confidence can be quite obscure, you can act confident. But Diva-Dence is a lifestyle, it’s not being like Naomi or JLO, but it’s being YOURSELF. No one can eliminate your Diva-Dence and call it an act, because it’s how you are. How can someone tell you how to be? Isn’t individuality encouraged in society?

All I can continue to stress is, smile. And the day will be better. In these ironic, unfortunate times, we can’t afford to hate ourselves, if anything, we’re the one’s who we need to love.

For all those Confident Lads and Ladies out there. C’mon now! Diva-Dence is what you need.

Love, Peace and Diva-Dence

THE DIVA GET’S A G-PASS

2009-11-22T20:25:00.001-08:00

Mister Kidderachi, with the technical support from SBTV has released his hood video for G-Pass, which is featuring on his up and coming promo -Kayo Flu.

I don’t generally put music on my blog, but seeing as Kayo is actually a sexy, sexy guy! And I want a G-Pass. Secretly the gangster –thug look and attitude, is attracting me, more and more lately, I blame it on BET and my new found obsession with gangster rap. Mac Dre’s bars and lyrics of humour and fire have lured me in to the world of, so –called alcohol, drugs and sex –or is that Rock n Roll?

With the British Rap scene, growing like no other, is this the future for the industry?

Nevertheless, Kayo has impressed me with this song, I believe it’s feeding my obsession like a depressed, professional woman who eats a whole cheesecake. (Every Sunday).

Diva Hints!

2009-11-20T03:04:00.001-08:00

Recently, Twitter and sex have been the main topics, which appear on my blog, but this is so much more than that.

A new trending topic, created by the industry worshippers, currently stands as, #Female hint for sex and #Male hint for sex.

What do you think the obvious hints for sex are?

Let's face it, everyone knows what is going to happen in those tense, awkward moments. Ladies are not a stupid species, no matter how much they depict and implement, the blonde (typically air head) attitude, and guys, well they just can’t believe that ladies are finally, putting it on them.

For generations, men have felt the need to dominate, not just, during a steamy session, but the build up to the unrestrained copulation. Really, who are the main culprits in the equation of indirect seduction?

Here are a few hint, suggestions!

Guys- “Why don’t you come to mine, and chill?” – What tends to be hilarious about this statement is that, once in every guys life, they have attempted to use such valueless lines.

Girls- “What film are we going to watch?”- This is unbelievable, not only due to the fact, he will choose the most un-funny, least- entertaining film to watch. You had a motive, and believe when a woman is on a mission, no obstacle is an issue.

With seduction being an accomplishment, and second nature to today’s young -fleemales, it couldn’t prove any easier.

It’s all about the signs, men have the power to disguise their feelings, whereas women have the radar! We know when guys are not into us, commonly their not into any form of human with breasts and a vagina –so luck wasn’t on the books from the get go. We also know when a guy is single –this could be down to the fact that they have a huge, sale sign above their heads.

To my fellas’ when a girl is laughing uncontrollably, making conversation with you, this if your platform to perform, trust me, she likes you. She isn’t giving you time, for a reason unknown to man, she wants’ you to take her details and who knows where this intriguing conversation may lead. I’ve seen this happen, and it’s not a pretty sight.

To my ladies, if he’s talking to you and providing entertainment, in between him licking his lips, and saying all the hmmm and arrr’s in the right context, he’s either, extremely bored, or he has a motive. Is this agreeable?

Generally, we all know what’s going to happen, whether an escapade or a near death experience, don’t be blind to the obvious hints presented to you.

This was just a quick! Post.

Peace, Love and Motives

Ay Yo- My Size!!

2009-11-15T21:55:00.001-08:00

On numerous occasion’s we hear men, talking about their manhood’s, and how they surprisingly, satisfy’s one girl after the other.

Following a tweet-conversation I had with Charis, she said “It’s not about what men have, it’s how they use it”. I disagree!

It is a known fact, that men of Afro-Caribbean and African heritage, have an unfair advantage compared to many other nationalities.

If size didn’t matter, where did the saying “once you go black, you don’t go back” originate from?

(Not that I have endless experience, because I don’t)

Generally, men don’t go around saying “ you’re pretty, I really like you, I’ve got a tiny penis, but a really big personality, that will make up for the lack of inches” – unless your Jamie Howard. And at that point, we end the conversation, whether it’s due to embarrassment or the awkwardness caused, all you can think about is, the poor guys inadequacy.

As much as we appreciate honesty, no one wants to know about, a guys genitalia, unless he’s dropping his pants…after a long session at the gym…and getting in the shower, whilst you receive a cheeky glimpse of what he may, or may not have to offer.

Close your eyes, and think, hard for a minute.

A woman’s view: So there’s this really nice guy, beautiful smile, got the whole demeanour on levels, unknown to normal men. You somehow get to know this guy, his attitude is attractive, his style is beyond this world. And his DISADVANTAGED, you’re so disappointed, you’re friends are upset for you, and all you can wish for, is a blessing- Or an Ann Summer’s ramping rabbit, to make up for the climax, he just can’t seem to get you to.

A man’s view: You move a girl, she’s pretty intelligent, above many of your previous girlfriends, you feel it’s time to take it to that level, but you have a slight complex about your ‘Thingy’. She laughs, not intentionally, but an involuntary reaction. You’re embarrassed, she’s embarrassed, you have a lot to make up!

This is possibly, the most shallow post I could make, but I have an experiment which, I ask you to take part in. Soo here it goes.

Here you have two underwear models, both wearing, white – Y fronts. Which one is sexier?

You have two underwear models. Which one is sexier?

The point of this post, is to highlight an issue, which no one else is brave enough to highlight. In these images, shown above, there is a vivid difference, between all four models, whether race, body type, status or penis size.

Psychologically, we thought that the male models, with enlarged penis’, were more attractive. Why?

BECAUSE SIZE MATTERS!

I’m sure its about the usage, equally to the size, but when it comes down to the crunch, or the act! A man, who is less than endowed, surely can’t be selfish enough to not make-up for his let down.

Love, Peace and Diva talk.

How About Love? Diva Style…..

2009-11-13T17:38:00.001-08:00

With Scorcher recently releasing songs like, ‘Lipsin Ting’ and ‘I Invented Sex’. Love has been on the cranium.

We tend to hear our single friends complain about their relationship status, but on the other hand, we hear our friends who have the status (a lame excuse to have sex regularly, and not be bothered about it). Complain!

(Take this how you want to, but just because I have a bit more junk in my trunk, understand, that I know about Love).

To All The Singleton’s : We all want that special person, whether you’re heterosexual, homosexual or Megan Fox (bisexual). For the girls, you want that guy, the one that makes you cringe, smile and feel the most amazing butterflies.

Guys; well the last time I looked, I never had male genitals, so I think you should correct me if I have this wrong.

Guys, at first you want to just ‘buss a nut’. But deep down inside, you own a heart, somewhere between your balls and your throat. All you want, is an honest girl, let’s admit it, window shopping just isn’t the same anymore.

The problem we all face is, we’re never satisfied with what we have. We settle for less, and we moan when we don’t get enough, what do we want? In our little community, we’ve all seemed to link ourselves to, we have four types of guys, and four types of dolls.

GUYS: Thugs, Entourage, Mc’s and Box Boy. (The poor little guy, who is the target of all jokes).

GIRLS: Successful, Hoes, Groupies and Tag-a-longs. Which one does your name belong under?

Love, can’t be determined by the class system, you inaccurately put yourself in, that’s how all the problems in the world began. From the Apartheid, to the treacherous war of Somalia.

We can’t begin or continue to go against our hearts; good girls like thugs, but as attractive as his attitude is, or as good as his sex may be, the thug will act like a thug. And you’re heart is the broken one.

Guys are commonly going for girls who, wear 5000 coats of makeup, and their crutches replicate a sporting field, rather than the gap in the railing. –How dare one complain, when disappointment is a recurring fact of your life.

To get the dilly- dally, out of the way.

Go with what your heart says, not your influenced mind for, Beauty, Love and Life go together like chips and burger sauce, a perfect combination.

Peace, Love and Scorchers Lips.

A Potbellied Bitch-Down

2009-11-11T14:43:00.001-08:00

Today, I realised that there are so many bitches out there, constantly getting away with bringing people down, in-directing and just being mad bitchy.

Have you ever heard of the saying “Live by the gun and die by the gun” well this same quote applies to bitching.

“Live your life bitching, get bitched about”- and don’t complain about it.

I’m not one to get involved in stupid arguments because let’s face it, there’s poor moronic guys out their in the cold, selling drugs; I’m not that hard bodied, so I keep myself out of it, but enough is enough!

You know it’s a serious problem when your name is mentioned in a conversation and BITCH is followed soon after; imagine you’ve just been called a DOG. The days of visible racism are now over, but DOGS still aren’t allowed in. You Bitch! (oh how I’m weird at times).

Visualise a game. A game that never ends! Some type of frustration is bound to reveal itself, sooner rather than later, and that’s what bitching is, an on-going game, yeah I presume someone’s going to earn points if not both players. But the point is… The game still hasn’t finished. The game will never finish.

This game is a process that generally goes like this. (I’m going to use the Sian Anderson Vs Donatella dispute as an EXAMPLE)

Sian: Post’s a picture of Donatella on her blog- any liberties , not out of malice, but to prove a point and state her opinion on the controversy causing, honey trap Donatella.

Grime Bitch: (An unknown blogger) Finds it in the depths of their duty to, entertain the nation anonymously whilst stirring up the cake mix. Highlighting the fact that, in the photo Sian had previously posted, Miss Donatella had no panties/knickers on; it seems like this honey trap wanted to trap more than an interview for Grime Daily, but maybe a 12inch Grime Artists’……..VINYL to play on her Dad’s Vintage Decks!

Donatella: She feels a bit; as they put it ‘Parred’. I would to, if i forgot to put knickers on and someone made it known to the whole of the UK and places in China and Japan. So being the so-called mature adult in the equation, she confronted Sian. (In a slack attempt to defend the heiress, I would confront the little person to, not that I’m used to having housemaids and everything from Daddy. *Well the Daddy bit is nearly accurate).

SBTV: Announces to the whole world via Twitter, that he’s gaining entertainment watching the Sian Vs Donatella argument, being the good gentleman he is, he starts to run a viral poll, asking who would win, out of the pair. (I would definitely say go ESSBEE)

Basically, when it comes down to the crunch, so many people got involved in such a silly bitch- off; including industry followers, like Mz Bratt’s only two fans, the deeply involved Industry Hater and well known bloggers such as, JP, Hyperfrank and TaraJayne.

The Bitch-Fight will never stop, we all thought it died down 12 days ago, until today! Watch the Grime Daily interview “Jamie Howard- stand up with Donatella”

And to be totally honest with you guys, I to had a crack at Donatella. On Twitter there was a trending topic and I said………. ‘celebrityperfumes’ – Dick Breath by Donatella. Not because I dislike her, although I hate MARMITE, but it was a funny crack.

Although, this seems like a ‘Bitch-Fest’ it isn’t one, I basically wanted to put it out there that.

WE ARE AS STRONG AS THE UNIT’S WE’RE IN, AND BITCHING MAKES THOSE EXACT UNITS, TEN TIMES WEAKER.

Love, Peace and Bitch free.

Precious

2009-11-10T17:05:00.001-08:00

We all think we’re the apple of our parent’s eyes, that we deserve all the good things that come to us almost not realising that hard work is needed; we all want to be considered Precious!

I saw the trailer for a film called Precious- presented by Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry, and I would like to say, I think this is a must see, I’d be lying to myself if I said this film didn’t hit me close to my heart, not because the main character Gabourey Sidibe is a larger than life lady, but because from what I’ve seen, Miss Carey-Cannon (Mariah) has also upped her devastating acting game since the poorly rated film Glitter.

I’ve also come to realise through a series of events that, I’m big and I’m beautiful, you may be small and sleek or a bit meaty but fashionable, my advice is just be yourself, whether you’re hated by your sworn enemy, or you’re insecure about the environment in which you choose to be associated with.

Well here’s the TRAILER

I hope you enjoy, and I hope I’ve sparked the anticipation from deep within the pits of your stomach.

Peace,Love and We’re All Precious

Diva FlashBack & A Little Advice

2009-09-14T19:12:00.000-07:00

House Parties
And I'm not talking the original Kid N Play house parties.
Although they had their swagger on lock with those fro's and bottom hugging shorts commonly referred to as 'Batty Riders'.
The days of sir mixalot liking all those big butts, but lets not bask to far before my time, because I'm sure I was too young to dress like that and party that hard, but that was for the oldies, the early 80's babies.

Moving on rather swiftly do you remember the days when house parties finished within two hours of starting because bemused little tyrants thought it was hilarious to ruin some one's celebrations.
Thrusting out of time with some poor fella who is under developed and thought he was the don of all time, because he got a dance with a booty like mine.
The things you do when your young, no longer an innocent party.

Anyways, back to the present, I must admit thinking about the past gave me the giggles.

Serious Diva Talk!!!
When did it become cool to go off with random people and have sex?
In this society we are seeing this all too often, young people, adults and even OAP's enrolling on the sex with no strings course, as disturbing as it is to admit that OAP's are still very much so sexually active, this is a problem.
Having a good time now consists of back alleyway drunken escapades, dreadful hangovers with a slight difference; an unknown person next to you and for most; utter regret, however for others the smile is a permanent fixture.
We all love a bit of fun, adrenalin pumping, sweaty palmed type of fun, but instead of putting your health iat risk, you get the same thrill bungee jumping; okay that's quite extreme but use Condoms and don't be a moron and say they don't fit, or their uncomfortable, because whether male or female we all know, tears will shed when you receive that phone call from the clinic within three days; IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT...as Tinie Tempah Says; WEAR A HAT!

Yeah, I tried being serious but it didn't work, so back to the real gritty stuff.
Did you know secretly guys love bigger girls, don't let them lie to you the commonly used quote 'More cushion for the pushing' comes to mind, that's why they take you to Nandos and not Burger king!

One thing I can say i'm sick and tired of hearing is ' Oh My Gosh I was drunk, I didn't know what I was doing', we all know you knew exactly what you was doing, pulling your knick knocks down to go toilet is a totally different action to you and a guy both pulling your underwear down and performing *cough cough*.
Get real with yourselves, it made you SMILE, don't regret anything that made you smile.

Do you know what really grinds my gears! (family guy lol) Big feet, I physically, emotionally and mentally do not understand short people with huge feet, I have size five fat feet to be fair, but how do people under 5ft 8in have size nine feet?
Not only are feet disgusting and should be left alone under socks unless predicured. But size NINE feet?

I Just thought i'd update you slightly on what I was thinking, but don't worry bunnies, i'll be back with a fashion feature later on! YAY,

So make sure you follow me on twitter

Diva Does Dinner

2009-09-10T19:42:00.000-07:00

I attended the N.E.E.T (Not in Education, Employment && Training) Awards today, i'm exetremly proud of the young people who took part in the whole programme, with earning on an average of 50 AQA's between them in 8weeks is an achievement, so the article featured in the SUN NEWSPAPER recently shouldn't discourage people from achieving these AQA's because the one thing they did leave out is that an AQA in 'using the bus' is a special needs AQA and they say prejudice shouldn't exist but yet it's right here in our press.

On my way to the awards there was a protest outside the halls.

I don't really know what they were talking about, but I thought it was cool, and maybe highrise living isn't the answer but at least the views are nice!

After the ceremony we went to NANDO'S and ohmydays, I had a feast fit for a Diva and a Fatty and I don't mean the same person, but seeing as i'm both it was like being in Nandos' haven!
check it out...

Look @ That Plate, and yes i do eat with a knife and fork
Finger food is not fashionable
LET ME TELL YOU THAT FOR FREE!

There's Plenty more where this came from.

So after stuffing my beautful face, with succulent glorified KFC oh I mean NANDO'S, I literally struggled to woddle up my road home, if I was lighter skinned i'm sure you would have seen my discomfort in my face, but don't worry I still kept it TPW and this Diva still looked good in my yellow top, jeans and colgate white air forces half strutting, half woddling up that A road.

I was bored at home so bored twitter nor facebook was keeping me occupied I decided to meet up with the girls for a cheeky Sailor Jerry or two and we started talking, it was so out of this world, I had read an article about urban contraception myths and what can I say but brace yourself.

1---Eat a clove of Garlic before having sex
That's a funny one, the only thing garlic does is give you really bad breath and I know the only thing it's known to protect you from is vampires.

2---Putting chick skin other his penis, ermm yeah that's DISGUSTING that's like literally having sex with a chicken, i'm sure that's inhumane.

3---Bread, didn't they always tell you carbs are not good, forget shoving bread inside your inisides.

I will never see Chicken, Garlic or Bread in the same light! Unless i'm stuffing my gob, and we all know that's common when it comes to me, but at least I eat with a knife and fork.

Peace Love && Grilled Peri Peri Chicken

Random Day Of Wickedness

2009-09-07T14:11:00.000-07:00

Awoken by screams, yells and crying I was not impressed, what is up with this world and NOT LETTING ME SLEEP!
I laid there watching GMTV whilst my older sister got her four beautiful children ready for that awful first day BACK TO SCHOOL, not only was I annoyed by the fact that my three year old niece was crying because she doesn't start nursery yet and wanted to go with her older brother and sisters, but I had a reckless sleep due to the all so comfortable cushions on her leather reclining sofas, or the fact that I just can't seem to get comfortable anywhere nowadays.
So after being forced to wake up, I calmed Rae down; they say she resembles me almost 100% of the time and i'm not talking about her eating habits, I asked her to go and get something to play with and look how she decided to entertain her aunty (me).

I know she's not right, but I love her, and she did make me laugh! And those are NOT her real teeth!

As it was my day off from work, I decided to raid my sisters dvd collection, to my surprise a dvd literally jumped out at me.
Sugarhouse, yes! I know i'm late but you know Diva's never know time, well what I still fail to understand is How and why and I wonder if putting your face in ice cold water could kill you.
I'm still in utter shock to be honest and this is why;

HOW DID THEY MANAGE TO GET THIS

And Turn Him Into THIS

Unfortunately due to my niece being only three years old, I had to turn the DVD off I know can't she just sleep like a normal three year old.

So it's the middle of the day and my sister is outside her front door, speaking to her neighbour a lovely man; we're contributing to a real in depth conversation about the increase on crime around the area, their other mad neighbour who seems to want to kill himself but gets it wrong all the time, and he calls me COLOURED, how is this possible, I am not a book that children colour in, at first I thought it was a mistake then every time when referring to a black person he called them coloured or dark folk.
THIS IS A PROBLEM, we live in a multicultural society that throughout time has witnessed a lot of racially motivated crime, but it still isn't cool to insult me and converse with me in the same instance in 2009. Moving on before I get passionate.

So as this potbelly don't know time, I had to rush to get to REPREZENT a youth radio station in which I was co-hosting the Themeless show with Aaron Hanson.

I went to the train station and was just about to purchase a ticket and some man gave me a £12.60 travel card, great the smile that came to my face replicated a fat kid when he see's chocolate cake, RESULT!
There actually are really good people in this world, I know I would have done the same, but nowadays the gloom that surrounds us and the unpredictable reactions of our fellow citizens, we never know what's going to happen.
I finally get to the radio station, and I jump straight on the mic, the combination of Aarons' deep voice and my high pitched murmur complement one another all so well, we begin to joke about, talking about beat boxing as our guest MARV-ILL begins to beat box he is so talented, how do you beat box an umpa lumpa melody, well it's possible, because he did it.

One question we did ask though which seemed to cause abit of an uproar;
Are you gonna bang doe's? Funky Dee, what is his AGE. PSSSSHHHH Controversy!

So after a great show I get on the train home, and arghhhh VOMIT, at precisely 21:32 on the southeastern train to HAYES (KENT) some sick son of a gun vomits on the train.
ERGHHH only in London!

Well guys! you know it's all love.

Love, Peace and DIVA SMILES

DIVA DAY OF WOW!

2009-09-05T07:25:00.000-07:00

It was an early morning, the sleep I found myself in was refreshing, really deep and uninterrupted until....0930 hrs my mobile phone rings (Are you serious, I only had two hours sleep, and if i had insurance on this overpriced LG ARENA I would have thrown it out my window, feeding it to the cold, crisp air of London) but as it's not insured, and I couldn't bare the thought of my phone ringing until I answered it, so I decided to!!

Yes!

I ANSWERED MY PHONE.

After being forced to wipe the matter out of my eyes, sit up and edit a few pictures for an ASOS.com competition, I finally went back to sleep at like 11.20AM it seemed to all work out so well, from only having two hours sleep, functioning and actually editing a few pics to going back to sleep almost two hours later.
Disaster hits and my stupid ALARM CLOCK goes off at 11.25AM

DOES THIS WORLD NOT WANT ME TO SLEEP.

but regardless....

So fast forward a couple hours, PotBelly DIVA time! 4pm

So i'm in the bank, and i've never had so many events' occur in my sight in less that 7mins.

A woman wearing a short no.3 haircut, open toe sandals, unpolished toes, ankle swingers with a blue shirt and a washed out black cropped jacket, approaches me (I know can you believe it, i tried not to make eye contact and i'm the one she approaches) and asks "what time does the bank close" I look at her in total despair and then in confusion and then i realise I don't know, I don't work in the bank and that's exactly what I said to her, this lady then goes outside and through the doors of the bank tells me it closes at 4:30pm, what this woman clearly failed to understand I'M ALREADY IN THE QUEUE FOR THE CASHIER, why do I care?

But Thats.....Not All!!!

With only two cashiers in the branch, no customer service reps the woman seems to take a seat at one of the customer service desks, maybe her feet were being pushed forward and she was in pain who knows.

NOPE!!!

She takes out her phone book and letters and starts calling all the 0845 numbers she knows.

..............................NO WAY........................................YES WAY.................................LOOK BELOW...

SO I THOUGHT HER FEET WERE HURTING HER!

She starts to get the papers out!
AND SHE USES THE PHONE!

And just because i'm fast I asked the cashier if this was allowed and she said NO.
THIS LADY GETS A POTBELLY NO NO....

I THINK I'M IN LOVE WITH.....

On my journey down the road from the bank, I find this beauty.
SO beautiful, I want it, I want it real bad.
I want it like a middle aged, obesed single woman loves
Cheesecake and Cookie Dough IceCream.

So people, i'll update you on my revelations tomorrow, or the day after, or possibly later on today.

Love, Peace and Potbelly Love
