Make Mine A Double Monday

This installment of our swimsuit ready MMADM is for BUSTY ladies.  If you have a little more on the top than the bottom try a suit with a flippy skirt, it helps balance the fuller chest.  To avoid side boob (as I call it) look for suits with high straps and a halter neckline, like the ones featured below.

Items 1, 3 and 4 can be purchased at swinsale.com and item 2 from venusswim.com

It's also National SwimSuit Confidence Week so get out there and strut your stuff!

Dirty Martini | Week in Review

Celeb 411

Mr. & Mrs. Carter are expecting baby number #2!  Yes, you read that right, power couple Jay-Z and Beyonce will be giving Blu Ivy a little brother or sister soon.  The rumors start flying that Lady B was with child when earlier this month she walked the red carpet at the Met Gala wearing a custom-made Givenchy gown that strategically concealed her stomach making it difficult to tell if she was sporting a mini baby bump. Now that the rumors are laid to rest and it's been confirmed that she is indeed pregnant, I'm sure the next things people will speculate is whether it's another girl or a little J.  Either way we just want to wish Lady B and Jay all the best on their growing family.

Reality Recap
Summer is upon us and what that really means is a lot of reality TV (yipee!!!!).  Two of the shows that these
Divas will be watching are Bravo's Real Housewives of New Jersey which is scheduled to air on June 2nd at 8/7c.  Your favorite New Jersey girls are back right were they left off last season, at odds with each other.  However this season they are on a mission for redemption in an effort to pick up the pieces of their broken relationships.  We will also see the ladies shifting through the rubble after being hard hit bu Hurricane Sandy.






Also on Bravo Chef Roble & Co will be returning as well.  The season 2  premiere is scheduled to air on June 5th at 10/9c. Now that Roble has established his catering company, season 2 will follow his business as it continues to grow.  This season proves to be celebrity packed as we see the cutie pie chef work with such A-listers as John Legend, NBA start Tyson Chandler and our home girl Phaedra Parks from The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Smooches!

We love you just the way you are!

Well it looks like our friend Rajdulari has a hit on her hands with her new single "Natural".  In this song she reminds us all that we are just fine the way we are: big, tall, curvy, thin, long hair or short, natural or perm. That we are all 'fly' in our natural state.  I think this should be the official woman's national anthem reminding us all to love ourselves just the way we are!

Can you guess what we'll be rocking to this weekend?


 

Throwback Thursday | Summertime Makeup with Brandalyn Fultom

American Idol | And then there were two

American Finalist Candice Glover (left) and Kree Harrison (right)

Well it all came down to the top two performers on American Idol last night.  Candice Glover and Kree Harrison.  Three songs and by later today we will know who will walk away with the title of American Idol for 2013.

Now before I go any further, I must admit that I have not watch one minute of American Idol this season.  Nope...not one.  So I can't tell you who out of the two I think will walk away with the title, that is until I looked at my Facebook feed which was flooded with comments about this young lady Candice Glover.

With posts like:

I had to see first hand what all the hoopla was all about and boy was a pleasantly surprised when I experienced first hand the Candice Glover effect.  This girl can sang!  If you don't believe me then check her out for yourself.

Here is one of the songs she performed last night So tonight we'll find out who America has voted for and win or lose I'm sure this won't be the last time we see or hear from Miss Candice!  What do you think?  Who are you rooting for?  Let us know in the comments section below.

#Hotness - Music | Kelly Roland Airs her 'Dirty Laundry' with this HOT new single!

Abusive ex-boyfriend, watching your BFF's career take off while yours fizzles and on top of that the two of you aren't even talking.  That is what Kelly (Ms. Rowland if you're nasty) is talking about in her HOT new single 'Dirty Laundry' from her forthcoming album Talk A Good Game. 

Now I will be the first to admit that I am not a huge Kelly Rowland fan but if this single is any indication of what we can expect to hear on the rest of the album, well...I may have to consider purchasing it.  This single is raw and real and I'm sure we can all relate to some if not all of what she is saying (can I get an AMEN up in here???).   But don't just go by my word, take a listen and let me know what you think in the comments section below.  Is this a 'hit" or a 'miss"?
