So i have figured it out....im going to be Beyonce for Halloween..got to get ready!!!!

Sidebar..remember that for Halloween you don't have to spend beaucoup money to have a great costume. Try to improvise by using some of the clothes that you already have in your closet. And if you do have to buy your entire costume. Try to put it together with items that you can possibly wear after Halloween. You can still have a great costume while saving money at the same time. Also remember to be save.--azureDizzle

So everyone knows that Halloween is fast approaching...and im sure just like many of you I don't have a costume. Its so difficult now a days to pick a unique and cute costume. For us ladies, as we get older costumes become less awww cute and become more ohhh sexy. With many different costume parties popping up everywhere, we want to give off a unique sex appeal with our costumes that has not been done over and over and over. So the question is what should we be for Halloween. Here are some of the top Halloween costumes that I found online. They include Dorthy from the Wizard of Oz, Geisha costume, Tooth fairy, and a nun....in my opinion these suck. I mean either I can get a cute, fluffy costume...or a sexy one. Do I want to give off a awww cute vibe or ohh sexy vibe. Maybe I should just go to the many Halloween express stores that have popped up and see what I can find...but here are some ideas that I had.

1. Bumble bee
2. Lady Bug
3. ????????

ok so i really only had two ideas....ill keep you posted if I come up with anything else...or if you have any ideas that would help out a lot...thanks in advance. --azureDizzle

Usher's back everyone...Im so excited. I knew this day would come. This song is called "Papers" and is the truth. It definitely gives us an idea for how Usher is feeling regarding his estranged wife and marriage.

Sidebar...now everyone in the world knows that the Confessions album is a classic album..even know we can pop it in the cd player on a road trip or whatever and play the ENTIRE album from beginning to end...thats how good the album is. I think it is manly because the songs dealt with real stuff that Usher was going thru...cheating on Chile...possibly having a baby (whether or not that was really true). But the album dealt with possible real life drama and thats what we want to hear. People don't really want to hear about oh how I love my life and oh how Ive found the one blah blah blah...no..we want to hear about the nitty gritty real life drama stuff. We also like that get naked baby making music...and Usher is a pro at these. "Confessions" had a plethora of these...and "Here I stand" had some too with "Trading Places" and "Love you Gently". But the I-found-my-soulmate songs on the album were not the business.

I have high hopes for this next album. I'm not sure if it can surpass the awesomeness of "Confessions" but I still have high hopes. And hopefully Usher..you wont disappoint me. --azureDizzle

Now fellas you know we weren't gonna leave you out. Here is the top fashions and accessories that you need to be asking for. Some of the items you may have seen in the other list but these are the manly versions. And ladies...consult this list too when your shopping for your boo. Again...we hope this helps you get a head start.

1. Boots: Mid boots, chukka boots, Shearling lined boots, boots with buckles, rugged looking boots, slip on dress boots...all types of boots. Step out this winter in style with boots. My fav right now are chukka boots. If you dont know what chukka boots are they are basically an ankle length boot with laces. Although Im sure your jeans or pants are going to be covering the top of the boot, they'll still give your fit a classic look whether you're going for casual or dressy. With a suit or with jeans, boots are it. Check out Cole Haan, Aldo or Johnston & Murphy for different styles and looks.

2. Leather gloves: The time of knit, sports gloves are over. Its time to step it up. Fellas get your grown man on with some leather gloves. Its best to match your gloves to your nice dress winter coat. You can still wear the knit gloves with sportswear like sweatshirts and such, but if your stepping out to a nice restaurant or event, leather gloves will be perfect. Try'em out at Dillards, Saks Fifth Avenue or Macy's by many different designers and different price ranges.

3. Military Coats: These coats give off an aura of manly sophistication and class. These will work perfectly with your leather gloves too. Check them out at Macy's, Cole Haan, and Express Men.

4. Plaid Shirts: This is not your average Farmers market plaid shirt...its a lot more cool. Try a plaid with a good mix of basic colors and a little more fitted. Now im not saying like skin tight fitted...jus make sure the shirt fits. Nothing oversized. Up your game. The days of oversized everything is over. Sorry. Check out Forever 21 and J Crew.

5. Messenger Bags: Attn: These are not man purses. They are messenger bags. They are large cross body messenger bags that can fit your laptop, books for class or whatever. Because I know that even guys need something to carry all their crap in on a daily basis. Find one in strong calfskin leather. Check out J Crew, Banana Republic or Cole Haan.

6. Shaving Kit: a nice leather shaving kit is awesome for traveling in style. Ladies a good idea is to put all your mans fav personal grooming products (deodorant, shaving foam, cologne etc) in the kit and give it as a gift. Check out Macy's, Cole Haan, or Dillards. Get all the essential grooming products at Target or Walmart.

7. cologne: who doesnt like to smell good. Like I told the ladies, go to Macy's or Nordstrom or whatever retailer and test some cologne out and see which one you like best. Let your girl know. Who knows it mite be in your new leather shaving kit. lol. Givenchy "Play" is an awesome new fragrance what was created with the help of Justin Timberlake. Check it out.

8. Wallet: Fellas I'm sure you already have a wallet but if it is old and busted, cards and money is falling out, and the leather is cracked and shredding, its time to get another one. Period. Check out TJMaxx for nice, low priced designer wallets, or like almost everything else, check out Macy's, Nordstrom, or Cole Haan for nice wallets.

9. Dark denim: Ok so I know most of you already have dark denim but if you dont...you need some. The days of light, bleached denim is over...and frankly has been over.

10. This one was pretty hard...I couldnt really figure out what is the number 10 thing a man should ask for for Christmas...so I figured anything electronic...that should make you guys happy rite???

Have fun with the list--a.k.47

In case you have been living under a rock, Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom tied the knot after only knowing each other a month to the day of their wedding. Now I'm all for love and knowing when you have found the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, but my problem lies with the fact that they decided that they know all they needed to know about each other after only one month before making this HUGE step.

In the non-celebrity dating world, the one month relationship mark still is the phase where your gaurd had yet to be let down. He or she has probably just met yours friends on a group outing. The talk of meeting each others families has not even come up. Its possible that you haven't even slept with each other yet! How could anyone really think that this is the one without specific things happening to determine that marriage the right move?

Now for Khloe and Lamar, they talk about this instant connection they had and it just felt so right, which can truely happen for some people, yet like Tina Turner says, "What's love got to do with it?" Did Khloe stop to think that she would now become the stepmom to his two children? It is rumored that Lamar's son did not meet Khloe before the wedding, and did not WANT to meet Khloe. Does that not strike a problem for the happy couple? Dating someone with kids brings extra to the table for any relationship. As a parent, your kids are a big role in your dating life, as much as you would like them to be. What do you do if your child does not like the person whom you have fallen in love with? Do you marry the person anyway or give it more time before you take that next step? If I were Khloe, there would be no way I could marry Lamar without knowing that his children were ok with us being together. No it might not be the perfect family but to know that his son had such a big problem with us being together would place a hault in my thoughts. I would want the bond to be strong between not just me and him, but also with Lamar and him. I wouldn't want to break up a father son relationship if that's what it was coming down to. And the fact that Lamar was ok with marrying someone that his child didn't want to meet? What does that say about him as a father? Would you want to have kids with someone who did not want to listen to how their child felt about a situation that would be changing their life as well?

Also when dating someone with kids, I want to know why it didn't work out between you and the mother of your children? Lamar and his baby's mom were together for 10 years! 10 years! That's a long time! Why did it not work? Why would they not want to try harder to keep their family together? Was it Lamar who didn't want to commit? Again, things you would want to know before marrying a guy.

Sidebar...And did anyone else hear that a week before meeting Khloe, Lamar popped the question to Taraji P. Henson and she turned him down?! Hmmm...sounds like someone has wedding fever! Khloe might have been second best and she also might want to check out that ring too...that would be terrible to find out if that it was a hand-me-down...I'm just sayin!

Does anyone take marriage seriously anymore? I'm only getting married once. When I finally do take that plung, I'm making for sure he is the one because TIL DEATH DO US PART! In order to get out of this marriage, you gotta die...that's how serious this is!

One thing I do commend Khloe on, she got herself half of everything he owns if this ends in divorce...I'm trying to learn from her! Maybe if I could get myself an NBA player to marry me in a month and get half of everything, I wouldn't sound like such a hater! --KscaY

So as Christmas approaches, we thought that we'd give you a couple ideas on what to ask Santa for Christmas. We've been looking at all the fashion mags and fashion sites that are out and have come up with the must have list for the holiday season and since its still a little early, hopefully this will give you a heads start.....(and guys if you are reading this...it could help you pick out the perfect gift for your lady friend...you'll thank us later)

1. Boots: these have been all the rave recently and will continue to be through Christmas and winter. Tall boots, short boots, Booties, Boots with tassels, fringe, or buckles have been seen in all the mags and will be great fashion staple this winter. Styles range from wrap around boots with both large and skinny crisscross straps, over the knee with sexy stiletto heels, and ultra versatile riding boots that are great for hitting the club and for everyday. There are a plethora of boots out there that will compliment any style. Boots are a must have. Check out designers such as Cole Haan, Aldo, Coach or BCBG for different styles.

2. Oversized Handbags: Now ladies you know we often carry our life and then some in our purses. So oversized handbags are still a must for the holiday season. I've seen many handbags in rich winter colors like chestnut and dark aubergine. Make a statement with your handbag.

3. Chain link handbags: These it bags will spice up any outfit, casual or dressy. I love the Chanel 2.55 handbag. Its the classic chain link bag that will never go out of style. If you or your boo is ballin enough to cop the Chanel 2.55...do you. But if you are like us normal people, there are chain link bags that will still give you that classic look. Check out different stores like Forever 21 to get your own. (Maybe the Chanel 2.55 can be your Christmas present to yourself)

4. Boyfriend Blazer: Boyfriend blazers are it for the fall and winter. Dress it up or dress it down, Boyfriend blazers bring the chic to any outfit. Check them out in classic black, navy or charcoal at retailers like J.Crew, Gap and Target, that range from $50-$200. JC Pennys also has a cute Boyfriend Blazer by I heart Ronson at a low price.

5. Leather Gloves: Cool accessories are a must this winter. Why can't you stay warm while still looking good? Leather gloves will bring that sophistication that you want when you're trying to stay warm this winter. Look for bright colors and cute accents like bows or grommets. Dillards carries some awesome leather gloves by Preston & York in gorgous bright colors like pink, purple and colbalt for the low price of $48.

6. Mens watches: Menswear watches in stainless steel or leather will help you tell time with class. The days of looking at your cell phone to tell time is over ladies? I love menswear watches with black leather straps and rose gold and black faces. Truly classic. You can even jazz it up with some rhinestones. Check out designers such as Fossil for watches ranging from $100-$150. You can even find cool designer menswear watches at Target, JCPennys or TJ Maxx.

7. Makeup Palettes: Makeup Palettes are the most convenient invention made for women. Everything you could ever want or need in terms of make up can be found in these palettes. My fave is the Sephora Brand Ultimate Blockbuster ($48). It contains 80 eyeshadows, 60 lipglosses, 6 cream eyeliners, 3 eyeliners, 6 matte eyeshadows, 6 sparkling eyeshadows, 3 blushes and 2 lipliners, as well as mini application brushes...I mean what more would you ever need. This is a must have. Also check out the Sephora Electric 360 palette ($34), the Bare Essentials bareMinerals Pure Luxuries Collection ($78), and Tarte Femme Fatale Naturale Eye Palette ($44). All these are available at Sephora and are reasonably priced for all the goodies you get. Napoleon Perdies also has a cool palette available at Target ( Jet SEt Palette $32).

8. Military Coats: If Chic is what you want, chic is what you'll get with these coats. They provide the warmth and the style. Check out Cole Haan, Express and Dillards for awesome styles and prices.

9. Leather Bomber Jackets: These jackets bring a little bad ass to any outfit. Believe it our not you can dress these up or down and still keep it cool and classy. Check out Jcrew or Target for these bomb bombers.

10. Perfume: Every lady loves to smell good. Here's an idea, have your boo pick out a scent he likes and then wear it when you're around him. Also celebrities have been coming out with new scents left and right. Go to Nordstroms or Macy's, smell some and pick your favorites. "Lola" by Marc Jacobs smells great and has a pretty bottle...best of both worlds.

I hope this list gives you some good ideas. I know what Im going to be asking Santa for.--azureDizzle

man...where is Lauryn Hill??? I miss her.-- azureDizzle

so this is random...you ever have one of those weekends that was interesting but yet not interesting enough to actually be fun? one of those weekends where you just think "man...i should have went to ______", or "i wish i could have spent some time with ____" Yea i just had one of those. It wasn't a "boring" weekend or anything...i just feel like i wasted a weekend...or week for that matter. Maybe it was because I had to work all weekend. I think i know what it is...i think its because I had such an AWESOME time the weekend before that this weekend just couldn't compare. but i guess not every weekend can be as AWESOME was the one before rite? It just sucks for ya'll i guess because I really don't have anything to talk about...well except for this....lol.
