Sprite Step Off 2010

On Saturday, Febuary 20, 2010 the national final of the Sprite Step-Off Challenge was held in Atlanta Civic Center. That morning, my friend and I decided that we really wanted to go but--we had no tickets! Thus, we started a mad search for some tickets to this "sold out" event; calling people near and far, high and low, to and fro--you get the gist. For a short while, it seemed as though we honestly were out of luck but defeat would not be accepted! Miraculously, at the LAST minute, thanks to the powers that be, 3 tickets came through!!! {for me, mi amiga, y amiga's lil sis}

So yes. We went. Had fun. Show was great {long, but great nonetheless}.

Drake closed out the event. Felt kinda bad for him though because by the time he came out, most of us had been stationery for atleast 6 hours, resulting in the energy being a tad low during his performance. #kanyeshrug #cantblameus. He did well regardless.

The winners:

3rd place

Phi Beta Sigma: NJ Citywide | Delta Sigma Theta: Sigma

2nd place

Alpha Phi Alpha: Alpha Phi | Alpha Kappa Alpha: Tau

1st place

Alpha Phi Alpha: Delta Xi | Zeta Tau Alpha: Epsilon

Not familiar with Zeta Tau Alpha? Yeah, neither were we. But I mean, they were good.
Audience went crazy. Caused some contraversy when they won though. Had the crowd wishin they'd hushed earlier. But #idigress.

Here's their performance:

Is My Black Beautiful?

Actress Gabrielle Union recently blogged about her self-esteem issues and being a dark skinned woman.

"We don’t generally share these stories. These are things that you generally take to the grave with you. You don’t want people to know that I hate my nose. You don’t want people to know that I have this fear a light-skinned woman walking into the room, ya’ know, you don’t want people to know that, so you take that your grave. "

-Gabrielle

Read the whole post here.

I admire her for sharing this. Its sad though, that at her age she is still coming to terms with her physical features and learning to accept and realize them as beautiful. Dwayne Wade, do better. These doubts should have been erased from her mind by now. :-P Atleast Gabrielle is loving herself more and helping others do the same along the way.

...She should take a lesson from Gabourey Sidibe on self confidence. no shots.

Too cute!

Say It Ain't So!

Apparently, one of my favorite clothing stores, le chic & coveted H&M, discards clothes that haven't been sold.

{and Wal-Mart too}

And by discard I mean shred them first, and then throw them in the trash.

What I want to know is WHY?!?! That's just...rude!...and selfish!...and all other things synonymous to those words... Hmph.

Read the full story here. A Clothing Clearance Where More Than Just the Pieces Have Been Slashed.

...lowkey...wish I could have gotten my hands on those trash bags...

*sigh* I <shake my head> at them.

**Update: H&M {and Wal-Mart too} apologizes...sort of...well, they say it won't happen again >> H&M Promises Not To Destroy and Throw Out Unused Clothing
