Introducing...Melody Ehsani

Can I get a drum roll please! Not only is it about damn time I posted a new entry, but I'd like to introduce Persian native, designer Melody Ehsani. She designs the hauteness in accessories from jewlery to footwear. From the moment I spotted a post of Kelis rockin' an oversized pair of gold 80's inspired earring, I had to know who was responsible for the creation of an immaculate construction. So just the other day, I am at work surfing as if I have nothing else to do (Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I'm back in the workforce now, which is the reason behind the absenteeism, another post tho') and I ran across yet another post from my peeps over at Concrete Loop addressing concerns about the earrings Kelis was wearing. Mel has an array of celebs following suit from Nas, Rihanna, Alicia Keys and more. Anyway I personally ordered the personalized 3-finger ring plate and of course the Kelis earrings!!! And my girl Mel know how to give back to a cause, a portion of the proceeds from each portion goes to furthering the education of young women, so show some support.

So I digress and leave you some designs for thought...

Racist Victory...

Hiliary's BIG win...

So the wicked witch of the west is taking victory in the state of West Virginia primaries. Recent exit polls show that 8 out of 10 West Virginians said that they would not and did not vote for Barack, based on race race alone...So to no one's surprise yesterday when World News reporter Charlie Gibson reported that Sen. Clinton was overwhelmingly beating Barack in the primaries by a huge margin, Did we not already figure that! Okay West Virginia is one of the most racist, hillbilly states in the country...I am surprised that we still actually count this state as a reliable source for such events. Yes opinions are like ass holes and every one has one ya da ya da ya da... But does this state or should this state have the right or say-so in determining who we want representing our country or even our citizens or better yet, YOU and ME! Furthermore, how does the candidate who is electing to represent YOU and I, celebrate and announce victory of the fact that SHE won the votes of racist and heartless, products of incest? I pose one question to the hearts of my fellow Americans...Do we really want the President of the United States of America, the candidate who is going to represent our voices and ideas, celebrating the victory of the mere fact that she won a state that did not acknowledge the party's platform or issues? Is this the "man" we want in office at 3 am...

NORTH CAROLINA STAND-UP...

YESTERDAY I FELT WAS SO PROUD TO HEAR THAT OBAMA HAD WON THE NORTH CAROLINA PRIMARIES. PARTICIPATION IN THE ELECTION PROCESS NOT ONLY INVOLVES VOTING...BUT ALSO MEANS GETTING OUT AND SHOWING SUPPORT. MAKING SURE THAT YOURS AND YOUR CANDIDATES VOICE IS HEARD AND RESPECTED. I HONESTLY HAD DOUBTS OVER THE WEEKEND WHEN NEW CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENTS WERE RELEASED BY REV. JEREMIAH WRIGHT...THANKFULLY HIS CRY FOR PUBLIC ATTENTION HAS NOT DETERRED THE AMERICAN VIEW OF OUR FUTURE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, BARACK OBAMA! MY YOUNGER SISTER AND I WAS OUT ALL DAY YESTERDAY WITH THE NORTH CAROLINA BARACK OBAMA HEADQUARTERS IN DOWNTOWN RALEIGH DOING OUR PART IN MAKING SURE THAT VOTERS HAD THE RIGHTS AND CAPABILITIES TO VOTE. WHAT I FOUND MOST INTERESTING ABOUT THIS PROCESS IS THAT IT PROVES STATISTICS RIGHT AND HOW THEY WORK. THE LOWER INCOME, LESS EDUCATED, MINORITY DEVELOPMENTS WERE LESS LIKELY TO GET OUT AND VOTE...SOME FOR MINOR REASONS. HOWEVER, I AM SO PROUD OF MY CIVIL WORKS (PEEP THE PICS) AND THE WORKS OF ALL OF YOU WHO ARE HELPING THIS GREAT CANDIDATES EXCEL FAR BEYOND EXPECTED! HILLARY SIT DOWN!

SUNDAY AFTERNOON...

FEELIN BREEZY AS THE WIND...

HERE ARE PICS OF ME ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT MY BROTHER'S HOUSE. HE HAS A BEAUTIFUL BACKYARD WITH AWESOME VIEWS...ONE THING I CAN SAY ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA, IS THAT THERE ARE SO MANY PICTURESQUE VIEWS. SO SINCE WE'RE ON THE TOPIC OF SUNDAYS, WE ALL KNOW MOST PEOPLE ATTEND CHURCH ON SUNDAYS, MYSELF BEING ONE OF THEM. NOW LATELY I HAVEN'T BEEN AS REGULAR AS I SHOULD, BUT I DO ATTEND. BUT I JUST WANT TO ADDRESS THE FACT THAT BACK IN THE BIBLE DAYS THERE WERE PROPHETS. WHEN DID WE GET IN TO THE ERA OF PASTORS AND PREACHERS? TO ME THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO...PROPHETS LEAD PEOPLE TO CHRIST WITHOUT ANY PERSONAL GAIN. THERE MAIN GOAL WAS TO UNITE SAINTS WITH GOD WITHOUT ANY EXPECTATION OF PERSONAL GAIN. PREACHERS AND PASTORS (YES THEY'RE THE SAME) THEY CLAIM TO BE UNITING PEOPLE AND STEERING THEM TOWARDS CHRIST, BUT IT SEEMS THAT THEY'RE NOT LEADING PEOPLE TOWARDS CHRIST. THEY ARE TEACHING THE CONGREGATIONS TO WORSHIP MONETARY SUBSTANCES AND WORLDLY POSSESSIONS. AND WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS, WHY IS THAT THE HERDS OF PEOPLE WHO LISTEN TO THESE MESSAGES HANG BY THE EVERY WORD OF THESE PEOPLE...THEY ARE NOT HELPING YOU FIND YOURSELF IN CHRIST. WHAT BRINGS UPON THESE THOUGHTS, IS A CONVERSATION THAT I HAD WITH MY FRIEND THIS MORNING...WE WERE DISCUSSING A ROAD TRIP THAT WE'RE PLANNING TO TAKE NEXT WEEK, SHE STATES THAT SHE DOES NOT WANT TO DRIVE HER CAR BECAUSE IT'S A V6, BUT THEY WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR ( A 2008 V8 GT MUSTANG SUPREME). HOW MUCH SINCE DOES THAT MAKE? NONE. IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME BECAUSE I LOVE MY CAR, I LOVE DRIVING IT, I LOVE TAKING CARE OF IT AND I LOVE THAT I WORK AND HAVE WORKED HARD TO PAY FOR IT. SO SHE MAKES THE COMMENT THAT HER PASTOR, PREACHED ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE THAT IN HIS SERMON SUNDAY. HE STATES THAT PEOPLE SHOULD NOT GO OUT AND BUY V6'S AND V8 CARS BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT ECONOMICAL NOR PRACTICAL (I'M NOT QUOTING HIM B/C I'M SURE HIS MESSAGE HAD MUCH MORE OF AN ANGLE). WHAT I FIND TO BE THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN ONE GOES OUT TO BUY A V6 OR A V8 AUTOMOBILE, THEY NEED TO FIRST CONSIDER THE FACT THAT GAS PRICES ARE GOING TO BE MUCH MORE STEEPER THAN A 4-CYLINDER CAR. SO WE'VE ALREADY FACTOR HIGHER GAS PRICES IN THE UPKEEP OF OUR UNPRACTICAL VEHICLES. SECONDLY, HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN THE PASTOR'S ECONOMICAL AUTOMOBILES? HUMM...I'VE NEVER WITH MY OWN BIG BROWN EYES, IN 24 YEARS SEEN A PASTOR/PREACHER, DRIVING A HONDA CIVIC OR A DODGE NEON OR EVEN A HYBRID CAR. SO IS ANYONE TO TELL A CONGREGATION THAT THEY SHOULD GO OUT AND PURCHASE NEWER, CHEAPER VEHICLES TO BE MORE ECONOMICAL? WHY? IS IT THAT WITH RISING GAS PRICES AND A STRUGGLING CONGREGATION THAT YOUR OFFERING PLATES WITH BEGIN TO BE BARE? HUMM... HOWEVER, I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST CHURCH OR RELIGION. BUT, I DO BELIEVE THAT RELIGION AND GOD IS WITHIN YOU! DO NOT LET SOMEONE DICTATE HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE.
