WELL WELL WELL
As Y'all all know, Fall is upon us...That means, all the fun stuff we love about Summer, has to come to an end. Now, you might miss the beach, the bikinis, the barbeques, the block parties, the park days, the bike riding...but most of that stuff can still go down. You can always barbeque, any time of the year....and as far as seeing the bangin bodies in bikinis, on the beach....u might have to 'change the forecast'...ie- get on a plane and go somewhere Warm....You might not find a block party though, however, there are no limitations on bike riding...its an all season thing...

MODEL OR SKRIPPER?
I've read it a few times, and even heard chicks say it ..."I'm a model" and Its bugged, because they're not size 2 (skin & bones) posing, modeling the latest fashion in an upscale fashion magazine...no, they are mega thick, with curves for days, wearing a bikini, or close to nothing...in a men's magazine, or a hip hop magazine. Because of their looks, they get offered to appear in countless hip hop videos, party venues, and some even visit the strip club circuit. Thing is, some come from The Strip Club!!! and some Never leave the Strip club....no matter how many mags they appeared in. Some chicks, slide up & down the pole for 5 nights out the week, and do a photoshoot once or twice, and they even Brand themselves with the title 'model'...wow, sounds better than 'Stripper' and even has more class than 'Exotic Dancer' Either way, a beautiful woman is a beautiful woman, and if the $$$$ is right, GO HEAD WIT YOSELF!!!! GET UR BREAD... But KNOW THE DIFFERENCE...
MODEL- chick having a large rear end or very large breasts (surgery or natural) that poses in urban glamor magazines such as KING, SMOOTH MEN, URBAN INK, ASIS, XXL EYE CANDY or F.E.D.S. and sports spandex, bikinis, or nothing at all, in Rap Music Videos, in hopes of becoming a 'real' actress or meeting a rich rapper that will allow her to stop working. [usually regular chicks, sometimes strips to supplement income]
STRIPPER-SAME AS THE ABOVE, just strippers work in strip clubs most of the time.

ALL I DO IS WIN (got me a Model)
I WANNA TAKE THIS TIME TO SALUTE THE DUDE JOE (JUMP OFF) BUDDEN!!!!
Alot of people have this mindset, that you have to be a super attractive, super rich, super charismatic guy to pull a bad chick...and that is FAAARRR from the Truth. My man Joe Budden seems to be doin a damn good job!!! from 1 model/video vixen to another...Not bad for a non-rich rapper...I wouldn't go as far as to say Broke, but lets be real, he aint no Jiggaman. However, he is gettin chicks that were in Jigga man's videos...LOL.
And thanks to the help of the super matrix aka the INTERNET, we all get to see and hear the trials and tribulations he has endured with these women...from having a vlog site showcasing him and Tahiry's (Tahiry Jose) romance, to a vicious diss record aimed at Esther (Esther Baxter) for creepin w/ an athlete WHILE SHE WAS PREGNANT WIT Joe's seed!!! to showcasin his new main squeeze Kaylin (Kaylin Garcia) in his latest video.
Lets not forget the other joints he's been linked to....Gloria Velez and Somaya Reece.....All beautiful women. My man stays consistent. I HAVE to give it up to da brother....
It just raises the question, do you really have to be super rich to bag a model?
or are models regular chicks who date broke rappers until they find that mr (money) right.?

SMOKE BLOWIN BEAUTIES
Even as a MARRIED MAN, I'm still a MAN...a Hetero man.And like Most Hetero men, I find women attractive...Nothing's more Attractive than an image/pic of a woman smoking...No, not a chick bustin down a raggedy Newport, or some chick puffin dat SOUR... but smokin on da Hookah....Yes, the Hookah pipe...Also known as the waterpipe, narghile, or qalyān, loaded with a flavored tobacco called Mu‘assel or Sheesha/Shisha..
Turns out, Hookah has been a Turkish/Moroccan, Middle Eastern tradition goin back since the 1800s. Now, it seems more popular than ever....like I always say...EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW... On some occasion, one can go to their favorite Moroccan restaurant, enjoy a meal, followed with some Hookah smoking...maybe some belly dancing...but now it seems even more popular, where you can just have your meal somewhere else, and just go to the local Hookah lounge. With the ban (in most states) on smoking tobacco indoors, alot of the Hookah lounges seem all the rage, also since alot of the nightclubs seem to frown upon Marijuana smokin in the club, they came up wit the brilliant idea and introduce HOOKAH IN DA CLUB!!! so now, you can go to the club, party, pop bottles, hear sum tunes, dance on a booty, take pics, and pass da Hookah...WOW...
And since I frequent the party sites often (Don't judge me) and I know a couple of the photographers gettin PAID to snap pics in da clubs....I find that the real nice pics, are the ones, wit the Lovely ladies, blowin smoke...
ASSUMPTIONS......(he's in love wit a stripper)
ASSUMPTIONS......
ASSUME...is when you make an 'ASS' outta 'U' and 'ME'...lol
we ALL assume...judge...misconcept...You know, men go to the strip club, and toss 50s, 20s, 10s, 5s in the Assumption, that IF they make it rain just enough, they can get at least ONE of these girls to come home wit em. Alot of people Assume, that just because a chick is a stripper, she just shakes her ass for money, and for a few more dollas, she just MIGHT, let one lucky fella HIT...Also people Assume, that the stripper chick, just wants to make $$$$, live free, move and groove, no plans for a future, no plans for a family....and there's also a bunch of people that think, a dude shouldn't WIFE, BOO up, or MAKE THE STRIPPER HIS GIRLFRIEND....I myself is GUILTY of assuming alot of things...
I remember I used to work at a company, and my boss was this hard core bull dyke...mind you, to my surprise, she had a 19 year old son. She told me, that she didn't feel like a 'woman' until she gave birth...Then I realized, no matter what sexual orientation a woman has, no matter what her job is, no matter who she date, no matter who she screw....Alot of women WANT to have kids, WANT to have a family, I thought that Tyga was just 'cool' wit stripper Blac Chyna...even had her in the RACK CITY video...I figured he must've hit...but he WIFED HER!!! it can be possible for someone to be IN LOVE WIT A STRIPPER...ok, cool...I only KNOW her from gettin butt nekkid....Amber Rose, used to get butt nekkid, then KanYeezy put her on his arm, only to let her slip into Wiz Khalifa's arm...and wut did Wiz do....YOU GUESSED IT...HE WIFED HER TOO...
Alot of people are shocked, appalled, sum are makin' jokes, like..."damn homie, u wifed da stripper....not only dat...u GOT HER PREGNANT!!!!" I just wanna say congrats to BOTH COUPLES... industry people look good together. Its kinda hard for someone to be in 'the industry' and be dating, I don't know, a Plumber!
Now while 'regular' dudes are mad that their girl skirt is too short, or their shirt is showing too much cleavage, these dudes are confident and secure, cuz lord knows, open a magazine, or take a trip to Miami's King of Diamonds Strip club, and you can see Blac Chyna's A$$...and every other day, the internet is leaking more naked pics of Amber...so wut? these dudes done stepped up, said F wut everyone says, and WIFED THEIR CHICKS....EVEN KNOCKED DEM UP... so my hat off to dem dudes..and I'll make da promise to myself, to never Assume, make a Misconception or Judge ever Again....

BOSS LADY MOVES-NIECY'S CLOSET
If you haven't noticed by now, Everything OLD is NEW....People scour the racks of thrift stores, goodwill stores and consignment shops, not because they Have to, but because the Want to. Want to find that item, that thing, that treasure, that somebody didn't want, didn't need, forgot they had, or just had to throw it away. We all know, one person's trash, is another person's treasure!!!
ENTER DENISE LENDOR, a young fashionista, whose love for shopping, and taste for designer shoes, dresses and accessories, turned into something profitable....What did she do when she realized she had too many dresses, too many pairs of shoes, too many handbags just laying in the closet?
SHE INVITED OTHER FASHIONISTAS TO COME SHOP IN HER CLOSET.....
I got the chance to kick it wit her about Niecy's closet, and how things work.
HEY HEY HEY THANKS DENISE FOR TALKING TO US AT THE GOSPEL
Thanks for thinking of me. I'm happy for you, love the blog. I see you're a bit of a FahionMista yourself.
SO, I KNOW, ALOT OF PEOPLE KNOW, BUT FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW. PLEASE TELL EM WHAT IS NIECY'S CLOSET?
Niecy's Closet is my baby. It's a consignment (resale) boutique. In this economy, we all need a few extra bucks, selling your old well kept designer apparel and shoes is a great way to make some cash. I provide the service for those who do not have the time or resources to do it themselves. Think about it, you don't wear it, you won't miss it. I love providing the service. My friends and former colleagues are part of my customer and client base because most of us were/are victims of this economy. What makes my store different is, I don't sell anything I wouldn't personally accept. I'm talking about quality, not style. I inspect every item, and I confirm authenticity. So you won't get the tears, stains and fakes at my boutique. I have a very loyal customer base, as far as London. I also have my customers that receive first dibs on my high end or rare designer items. It's a privilege they've earned for their loyal and consistent support. We advertise, package and ship merchandise worldwide.
....AND WHEN &, HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THIS IDEA?
I did it unofficially for years between friends, but more of a swap than sale. But in 2010 I had an aha moment, and decided to do my research. I was a shopaholic. Because I could afford it, I shopped just to shop, not because I needed new apparel or shoes, but because I love all things FASHION. Since I was not blessed with or trained to be a seamstress or designer, this was a logical step for me.
IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYBODY IS ON SOME NEW OLD CLOTHES KICK, (LOL) EVERYBODY IS DOING SOME 'THRIFTING' HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT TO A TYPICAL THRIFT SHOP?
Basically resale has two components, thrift and consignment. Thrift stores generally purchase used items, or receive donations, and sell them at low prices. Consignment stores sell your old, well kept, sometimes designer items for you for a commission. Consignment is another form of "thrifting" the premise is the same, for the buyer, buying quality items at a fraction of the original cost. it's not limited to apparel or shoes.
I THINK I READ, OR HEARD THIS IS YOUR JOINT. YOUR BUSINESS... YOU STOPPED WORKING YOUR 9-5 'SLAVE' TO DO THIS? TAKES COURAGE....WHAT MADE YOU DO IT?
Misconception, I did not willingly leave a six figure investment banking gig for this. I just made a potentially negative situation positive. I, like many, was a victim of downsizing. I accepted a deal, and decided not to return to corporate america, I decided to take the opportunity to work for myself. I have not regretted that decision. I've been offered positions, but decided to follow through with this.
>
> ALOT OF BUSINESSES START OUT SMALL, ONLINE, THEN GROW INTO SOMETHING BIGGER, WHAT DIRECTION DO YOU WANNA TAKE NIECY'S CLOSET.?
>
Baby steps. I plan to do a traditional brick and mortar within the next two years. Right now online works for me, no overhead or additional real estate real estate related costs. My family is not too happy about the clutter in my house though. I plan to expand shortly, so that might be moved up out of straight necessity.
BETWEEN THE BANKS, THE LOANS, THE RATES, THE RENT, OPENING A STORE CAN BE COSTLY. WHATS DIFFERENT WITH AN ONLINE BOUTIQUE?
If you have the space for storage, online is great for a startup. No real estate related overhead, as i mentioned before. But eventually, of you will need to expand. Even if that means getting a bigger house or apt. For more storage space, you'll have some type of real estate related cost. (tax deductible by the way).
OTHER THAN THE FLY STUFF THAT YOU WORN, IS THERE ANYWHERE ELSE YOU GET YOUR PRODUCT, YOUR OVERHEAD FROM ?
I also have a reseller agreement that gives me access to dept. store returns, shelf pulls and overstock. This is great because I'm able to price these items and offer a great deal, while still making a profit.
EVERYTIME I SEE YOU, YOU ALWAYS VERY WELL DRESSED. CLASSY, NOT TRASHY. THE SKIRTS BE TO THE KNEE AND THE HEELS BE IN GOOD TASTE...
Lol that's hilarious, skirts not always to the knee, but I try to stay in trend and age appropriate. But fashion, style is so personal. Whatever your style, own it. I'm all for women being comfortable in their own skin, and hopefully that translates into wearing things that are flattering to your body type, age and highlights your personality.
I also believe in mixing it up. Whenever I see a woman in a $20 dress and $500 shoe, I introduce myself. That's a fashionista. Choose your high ticket items wisely. Choose items that will retain value, classic pieces that you will wear for years. Try not to invest too much in trends. Make the trendy stuff you low ticket items. Focus more on the construction and materials used, most times that means a higher price item.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOTTEST SELLING ITEMS?
Christian Louboutin shoes. Some don't even make it to the site. It makes sense, if you can buy them at half price or less in great condition, and make the same "statement" why not.
DO YOU HAVE THINGS THAT DONT MOVE TOO QUICK AND YOU END UP HAVING TO RE-REDUCE THE PRICE?
Some designer items don't move as quickly, because there's only so much you can reduce them. For those designers I refuse to reduce again, they're classic, rare and retain value, which explains the price, so I think I customers can find comfort in knowing that should they need to sell/consign them, they will receive close to the original price. :)
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE WE CAN LOOK FORWARD FROM NIECY'S CLOSET?
My accessories line, and my daughters tutu line will be launched in October. I'm very excited about that. She's a mini mogul, she's ten and she's been making tutus for her friends for two years. I'm excited for her. School's first, and she's an honor student, but this is her passion for now.
WELL, ONCE AGAIN, AS ALWAYS, ITS BEEN A PLEASURE. THANX FOR KICKIN IT WIT THE GOSPEL
Thank you so much appreciate the opportunity
