R.I.P Maya Angelou: The Caged Bird is Free

I'm in tears as I write this. It has been confirmed that Maya Angelou has departed from this earth at the age of 86.

The famous writer, activist, and humanitarian is survived by her son Guy Johnson who released the following statement to Associated Press.

"Her family is extremely grateful that her ascension was not belabored by a loss of acuity or comprehension. She lived a life as a teacher, activist, artist and human being. She was a warrior for equality, tolerance and peace. The family is extremely appreciative of the time we had with her and we know that she is looking down upon us with love," Angelou's son Guy Johnson said in a statement.

Solange Goes HAM on Jay Z after the MET Ball

This is truly one of the CRAZIEST stories I have blogged about EVER.
TMZ released a video over the weekend of Solange attacking Jay Z in an elevator after the MET Gala this past weekend.The video shows Solange attacking Jay Z with her fist and feet while Jay and Bey do nothing. At some point the fight escalated when Solange kicked at Jay Z and he grabbed her foot in defense. Beyonce tried to step between the two of them and the bodyguard pressed the emergency button to stop the elevator so nobody would be able to see the fight. Unfortunately the fight was captured on elevator surveillance and released by TMZ.
They also have video of the trio walking out of the venue looking staged and frazzled. Solange was clearly pissed and you can even see a glimpse of a mad ass Beyonce. Beyonce and Solange left together, while Jay left with security.

Later that weekend Beyonce and Jay Z were seen courtside at the Miami Heat game as if all were well.

Smh. I'm very interested in hearing more about this debacle but it's very apparent that this has happened before so Solange must be off her meds.
Of course I will keep you updated until then watch the video HERE.

2014 MET Ball

This is one of the most wonderful times of the year. The fashion gods and goddesses join to grace us with some of the most unique fabric artworks. Yes it is the MET Ball and as usual the stars gave it!!!!!

It seems as if the theme were flowing gowns with extreme structure and abstract prints.

My favorites this year of course include Beyonce who wore a black semi-sheer gown to compliment Jay Z in his ivory suit. Taylor Swift was extremely elegant and feminine as always with a very classic look.
