When I hopped off the plane at LGA, I knew that I was in for something special. As the freezing air ate away the warmth in my finger tips and my bones suddenly felt more fragile than ever, I felt hope for the first time in a while.
The Fighter
Welcome to New York
First day in New York and I feel like a native. I called the Empire State Building the Chrysler Building, couldn’t tell the M from the Q line, and saw more KFC’s up here than I did in South Florida. Overall, I think I’m gonna like this place.
‘The Vampire Diaries’ saying goodbye to Steven R. McQueen as series regular
There really wasn’t much left for Jeremy to do on the show anymore so this makes sense. Still, I’ll miss Steve McQueen and his arms.
Update: Holy Moly!
Is this thing still on?
I’ve been away and there’s a reason for that. I’m going to be an intern with Entertainment Weekly in New York. Let me repeat that – I AM GOING TO BE A FULL TIME PAID INTERN FOR ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY IN NEW YORK CITY. (Okay, not exactly repeating but still!) For a Florida native with a background in English, that’s a big deal!
So with a very small savings account and big dreams, I’m packing up my bags and moving. I’ve had people tell me how crazy this is but at the end of the day – I gotta do it. It’s my foot in the door. I’m doing it!
And as I make this major change in my life, I’m thinking about my time in Florida as well. I’ve made great friends and had some awesome times but now it’s time to move on.
New year. New journey. I’m ready!

Iggy Pop – Punk Icon Turned Designer
He’s conquered the music world and now punk icon Iggy Pop is stepping into the world of fashion. In collaboration with Sailor Jerry Clothing, the legendary musician launched “The Flash Collection by Iggy Pop” Oct. 22 at the Garret in Miami. The event featured delicious cocktails with Sailor Jerry’s spiced rum and a special performance from The Jacuzzi Boys.
The Originals: In Defense of Elijah’s Plot Twist
Note: This stemmed from a cool and interesting convo on Facebook so I turned it into a post!
Last week’s episode of The Originals “Red Door” revealed that Esther was not the one who killed Tatia – it was Elijah! While some see it as a lazy ploy by the writers, I felt like this was a story worth telling.

The end is nigh: The final “Hobbit” trailer is here
It’s the end of the era and I’m not ready to accept it. The final chapter in Middle Earth comes to a close in December with “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” and the last trailer is heartbreaking.
How does one say goodbye to something so epic? As I grasp my replica of The One Ring, I really don’t have an answer to that. Where do we go from here?
Missy betta WERK!
This post was originally for Life&Style but since I’m not working this weekend, I decided to post it here.
In the immortal words of Britney Spears, “you better work b***h!” Missy Elliot, who has been flying under the radar since her last studio album in 2005, has stepped back into the spotlight – and she looks AMAZING!
After performing at Alexander Wang’s H&M Collection launch in New York City on Oct. 16, the rapper and producer shared this photo on Twitter:
Just got off stage thanks @ALEXANDERWANGNY and @hmusa for having me perform I enjoyed💋 pic.twitter.com/DXBF2u6KJx

Is butter a carb? While Missy works out, we’ll be over here with our Kalteen bars.
In 2011, Missy revealed to People that she was battling Graves’ disease, an autoimmune illness that affects the thyroid. “You live with it for the rest of your life.”
From the looks of it, she seems to be doing quite well!
Ferguson: Ebony’s coverage
I was scrolling through Instagram and saw these amazing videos. I haven’t seen any other outlets cover Ferguson the way that Ebony has. Seeing this makes me both inspired and angry.
I am inspired by the passionate display of people coming together for justice. I am angered because I have to go to the internet to find people who really care. Nobody IRL wants to talk about it because it makes them uncomfortable.
I need more black friends.
