We are the kids of the future

I'm all about cartoons/animation, they more than do it for me!!!

My cable is constantly on the Disney channel, it rocks... Hard!!! Fairly odd parents, Phineas and Ferb, Kim possible. Even the Play disney favourites like Bunnytown and My friends Tigger and Pooh rock my world I find them very entertaining and educational. If and when I channel surf and find nothing I am content to watch re-runs!!!

My friends continuously mock me on how I've had a deprived childhood! Yeah! Whatever!!! Cartoons are the knowledge that embeds itself in your brain without the stress!! Have I said how hard cartoons rock?!

We've had masterpieces like the
Lion king: that shows us the importance of family and the strength of the responsibility. Pocahontas: Respecting other cultures, and how love crosses all boundaries.
Meet the Robinsons: How not to give up on your dreams.
The road to El-dorado: All that glitters ain't gold.
Atlantis: It pays to have principles.
Mulan: Gender equality
Snow white: Good always conquers evil.
The hunchback of Notre dame: Beauty is only skin deep
Happy-feet: Different isn't bad, it's UNIQUE
Madagascar: Roots

I could go on.. but for precious blog space I won't!

Look, for those not feeling cartoons/animation you can't really knock it till you've tried it... so pop some corn, get some drinks, call some friends over, or just lay in a comfy sofa, and put on a good cartoon/animation...

What's the skinny on skinny jeans?!

The ravings of a very cheeky fashionista

There she is with what most people would call “thunder thighs” she takes a step, the ground shakes, and her body fat ripples. You can tell she’s got a weave, no chance in heck a black girls’ natural kinky locks could be that long. She’s tryna pass her waddle off as some kind of catwalk. The men are gazing in awe, and the icing on the cake.... baby (elephant) is wearing skinny jeans.
HOW DID SHE GET ALL THAT BA-DONK-a-DONK IN THOSE JEANS? , and there we have it ladies and gentlemen, the 8th wonder of the world!
Please this is absolutely NOT malice based but let’s try to be real , there is a very good reason they’re called “SKINNY JEANS”, I could be wrong but maybe it’s because ,oh, I don’t know , THEY ARE MEANT FOR SKINNY PEOPLE?

In my humble opinion, every person is somewhat fashionable, and to be honest even I don’t get what the perfect way to wear the many variations of the skinny jeans is. Heck!, since we are being “all honest” I might as well tell you I don’t have any idea what the difference between drainpipes, denim leggings, cigarettes and plain ol’ skinny jeans are, it’s enough to do your head in! I mean HONESTLY! Who even comes up with this stuff? I’m sure some rich chick is sitting in her penthouse in upper eastside Manhattan thinking “I am going to single-handedly create one pair of skinnies, in different colours n accessories and call them different names so the not-so-fashionable run mad! Mwuah ha ha ha (evil laugh)!”

Geez, give us a break!

Even the ladies in the glossy magazines (vogue, bazaar, elle, cosmopolitan etc) know better than to try to differentiate between them. Best case scenario they just call them by the name the designer tagged them knowing better than to try.
Ladies, all I’m saying is let’s work with what our mama’s gave us! We are all uniquely beautiful! Surely we don’t need to follow trends... Let’s SET them!!
