Diary of a Blogger | Ten things I learned from "Crazy Sexy Cool" The TLC Story

-


I know I am LATE with this post but let's just get into this.. First off last week Monday was ALL about TLC. If you follow me on twitter (my personal account) PurpleKisses212, you would know that I was tweeting and watching the Crazy Sexy Cool story at the same damn time.

Let me just state this.... Lil Mama KILLED it... I mean this post should be an open letter to her to apologize for my shady ways and side-eye days from her jumping on the stage during Jay'z & Alicia Keys performance on the MTV Music Awards back in 2009..... "I's SORRY". She nailed it, killed it and she should win some kind of Soul Train Award, Emmy.... SOMETHING...

Now here are a few things that I learned from the TLC story to make me say that TLC taught me well:
1. I was a tomboy and may STILL have an inner tomboy in me.
2. I can still DANCE... This movie showed me that twerkin' should NOT take over my body, Lol but during my TLC days I was really bustin' the move.
3. I am Chilli- I mean I don't have men problems (Some days, lol) but I am just that little ol' fashion gal that just wants to be loved, confussed about love and in love with the fact that I want and is ready for some kids
4. Music is my Boyfriend- Listen if you wasn't jumping on your couch or bed during this story dancing & singing then something is wrong with you and if I am the only one to re-open my itunes up and listen or download som TLC hits then chiiiiiiiiile... please re-think that because I am STILL listening to each album.
5. I am CRAZY x SEXY x COOL- If you know me well then you know that I need my own reality show (CRAZY), I am in love with myself and love to dress up and just be me and everything in between (SEXY) and I am Tamanika.... I am an Aquarius/ Just laid back (at time) and love to have fun (COOL)
6. It's not all about the Heels x Pumps x Stilltoes- Believe it or not I use to wear my timbs and sneakers to the fullest.  It was all about being comfortable and heel free.
7. I am an 80's Baby.... NUFF SAID!
8. Girl Groups Rock- TLC, SWV, Total, Zhane, Brownstone, En Vogue, Jade, 702 and the list goes on and on
9. My baby hair was on Point- Listen... Chilli taught me that it was okay to use some gel or vaseline to slick my baby hair down... This was the NO weave era so I had no worries...
10. And last but not least whatever happens/ where ever I go I always have my girls by my side.

Interview | Up Close & Personal with S+B MODE

-

So you guys know that I have a "Passion for Fashion" so this would be at no surprise that I do whatever I can to find the newest/ hottest trends, stalk celebs (lol), and even have my chance to interview some up and coming designers and now image and wardrobe consulting companies. 

Check out my Q&A below of NYC based Image and wardrobe consulting company S+B Mode on what's new and hot with this thing that we call FASHION.

Tell me about yourself/company?
Shante: Beverly and I have been friends since college! We have so many things in common but yet we’re so different. One of the things we share a love for is fashion and we love every aspect of the industry. This year I approached Beverly about starting S+B MODE and as a collaborative effort we were able to put together a great concept and business plan for our wardrobe consulting company.
 
Beverly: S+B MODE is a wardrobe consulting company and we’re based in NYC.  Shante and I have constructed a company that fits the needs of every woman and man offering the most unique services such as wardrobe facelifts and personal shopping tours. 

How did you get into this field?
Beverly: While in college, I interned at many fashion houses doing Public Relations. This gave me a clear idea of what I really wanted to do when I graduated and that was styling. After I graduated,
I started testing with models and photographers and started building my book!  

Shante: As a student in college, I did a lot of freelance styling. John Moore, celebrity stylist, was a mentor to me for some time. From then on, I knew I wanted to style the people that walked the streets of New York City.
What is your favorite thing about your job? 
Shante: There are so many highlights about this job. The best part is being able to shop the boutiques and getting a personal tour of your client’s closet. It’s always interesting to go through a client’s closet and view what’s cool from they’re perspective.

 Who are some celeb clients (If any) that you have worked with? 
We worked with Victoria Secret model Barbara Fiahlo - love her! :)

Who is one person on your list that you would love to work with and why?
Beverly: There’s so many! But our absolute favorite is Zoe Saldana. She is so effortlessly chic, such a classic. She has such a raw edge about her that I think can be pushed and translated so amazingly.  
Shante: I’d like to work with Kelly Rowland. She’s such a beautiful woman and I feel like she has so much potential style wise. I’d like to see her push the envelope a bit more.

What is your fashion Inspiration?  
We get inspired by everything. Blogs and magazines play a major role. However, we really get inspired by people, art, culture and music. These are the creative elements that really keep us going.

As far as fashion what do you think is this season hottest trend right now? 
This season’s hottest trends right now are punk meets sportswear and nouveau chic. Leather is a major trend this season as well as electric color coats. Winter white never runs out of style and don't forget your fur in dark hues. But always include your personal style in everything you wear. Originality is everything.

Crazy x Sexy x Cool | On the BLACK Carpet at The TLC' Story Movie Premiere

-
K. Michelle x Tristan Wilds x Cam'ron x Khandi Burruss x Cheryl James (Salt) x Teyanna Taylor x Quest Love

Last night at the AMC Loews theater In New York  it was all about being "Crazy Sexy Cool" during the premiere of VH1's TLC biopic premier. Being on the "Black Carpet" brought me back to life reminiscing about the 90's as I got a chance to interview some of my Favorite celebrities. 

Here is a rundown on what happened last night:
Diana Ross & Even Ross was all about the pictures (but no interviews).
Real Housewife of Atlanta Khandi Burruss hinted about her upcoming wedding and what to expect from RHOA upcoming season (CAN'T WAIT).
K. Michelle (who is a doll) told us about adjusting to the city life (New York) and her newest project on Love & Hip Hop NY.
Mack Wilds (Tristan Wilds) did a little (Red Light Special) song for me and kept it brief about his new project/ Mixtape. 
Elle Varner (who loved the spotlight and had a gold grill) sang about her feet hurting (but in a cute way) and gushed about her upcoming project.
Camron (Dipset) Talked about his newest mixtape that dropped last week

Overall I had a great time and being about to interview my fav's on the Black carpet was a plus. Check out below some of the celebs on the black carpet at the TLC "Crazy Sexy Cool" premiere. 
Diana Ross x singer Elle Varner x Rapper Camron x Love & Hip Hop creator Mona J. Scott x Quest Love x Producer Dallas Austin x Missy Elliot z Cheryl (Salt) James x Teyana Taylor x MC Lyte

Check out more of last night's event (here) & don't forget to catch "Crazy Sexy Cool" The TLC Story next Monday at  9:00 PM ET/PT on VH1
