The Hip Hop Report

A friend of mine sent me the link to this YouTube/web show for some inspiration. As a hip hop fan I thoroughly enjoy this.

Isn't Valerie the cutest? I strongly choose to believe that if Lauren London was from Brooklyn, she would be Valerie. Be sure to check out the Hip Hop Report every Friday on their YouTube channel.

Loves it! Consider me inspired...

The Biggest Year of My Life

So honestly, it is a slow news day which kind of allots me some time to plan some wedding stuff. Yeah, I forgot too that I was getting married. (I've just created "The Wedding" label to force me to face the music.)

I just logged in to my page on The Knot and here's what read.

Mattie and Chris's Checklist

September 19, 2009 • DAYS TO GO: 284

TO-DOS ON LIST: 184 | COMPLETED TO-DOS: 5

Yeah...it seems as if it were only yesterday when the Fiance proposed and I got the Rock. Then I had exactly 367 days left to plan the wedding. It's now widdled down to 284. Before you know it there'll be 100 days left and then just 2 weeks before the wedding ensues.

I'm in the process of choosing bridesmaid dresses and I have no idea what to pick. I'll be posting what I've found shortly. I need all the help I can get. Because clearly I have approximately 184 things to do before I walk down the aisle. Hey at least I got 5 things out of the way already. I think they included saying yes, wearing the ring and blogging about it.

Also, I've been doing a lot of reading and writing for the show. Consequently, 2009 will be the BIGGEST YEAR OF MY LIFE. So I'm trying to pace myself that's all.

Above is what I'd like the cake to look like. What do you think?

I figure it's cake not rocket science. Let's keep it basic.

Mattieologie: The Show

Mattieologie will have a web show very soon...I'm so excited! With that being said, I wanted to know from you all - the readers - what it is that you would like for me to speak on.

Is it fashion? Entertainment? Dating? Let me know what topic you would like me to discuss. Feel free to elaborate and email me at mattie@mattieologie.com or leave your comments with suggestions.

Thanks!

Saturday Night Live

So, only until recently have I become a Saturday Night Live regular watcher. But these two skits were priceless.



I'm not even gonna comment just watch for yourself.

Aside from SNL, there was also MadTV (which is cancelled) and In Living Color. Which show was your favorite comedy sketch show?

Look of the Day: Dita Von Teese

Love, love, love, love this dress. The color, the shape, the everything. Dita Von Teese is uberglamorous. Her look and style is very film noir. Nobody else is really doing what she's doing with the whole burlesque, old school glamour approach. She pulls it off very well. Anyone else would probably seem gimmicky. Not her. She's really tiny too. Have you seen her waist? (And is it just me or is she having some trouble with those shoes?)

Jessica Simpson Gets 'Fancy'

Jessica Simpson launched her new fragrance, Fancy, at Macy’s in Chicago this past weekend. I will say that Jessica’s business savvy impresses me. She was criticized so much after Newlyweds and her divorce from Nick Lachey but I think she’s pulled herself together and come a long way.

I’m a fan and very impressed with her clothing line and all the other things she has been doing. She may not put herself out there as much but please believe that she is handling her business.
