Crazy Music: Hot N Fun!

I am not going to front, this song has been on HEAVY rotation since I heard it for the first time on Friday! I love it! I know I might be bias since I haven't lied about the fact them but it is just so refreshing to hear something new from N.E.R.D.

Here is Hot N Fun off their upcoming album, Nothing. Nelly Furtado is on the track too. I wonder when she is going to be coming out with something new??? Hmmm *scratches head*

Enjoy!

Monday Eye Candy: An International Man

Happy Monday to you all!

If you are like me, you are living off of Five Hour Energy shots to keep you up after going out all weekend like a G! I am not going to lie, I needed to go out! I have been on "grandma status" that I need to go out a bit, lol. But enough about me, back to my eye candy duties.....

I must admit, it's been kind of dry in the eye candy department as of late. Granted I will always have my permanent faves but we here at Crazyland believes that fresh meat is the healthy thing to.................(I will let your imagination fill in the blank. Don't worry, I will not judge your filthy minds :-) )

However, for today, I found someone that not only is a cutie but also is what every black single woman been whining for some time now.

I would like to introduce to you Mr. Dhani Jones.

For the sports heads, you might know him as the linebacker for the Cincinnati Bengals but recently the 6'1, 240lbs player has added world traveller to his resume as he is now in his second season of his hit Travel Channel show, “Dhani Tackles The Globe”.

On his show, Jones learns how to play international sports that are unknown to us here in America (interesting concept). Not only is he open to trying new things, he is educated as he is a graduate of the University of Michigan. He loves to read as he admitted in a recent interview and he is a writer, writing columns for ESPN and ESPN2. Plus, he loves children.

Most importantly, isn't he adorable! I mean, I want to pinch his cheeks that's how adorable he is!

NOTE: YOU SEE YOU BITTER BLACK WOMEN! THERE ARE GOOD BLACK MEN OUT THERE! YOU JUST HAVE TO RESEARCH THEM!!!! NOW, STOP GOING ON NIGHTLINE AND LOOKING LIKE A DAMN FOOL!!!!!!!

That's 'tis all! :-)

Crazy Fashion: Disney Couture

What it do homeslices!

Over at Parlour Magazine, they featured the editorial in the May issue of Spain "Elle" magazine where they highlight some of the top designers in the fashion industry. This might seem to be blasé to some but they took a different take on these characters....but Disney-fying them! This is sooo damn clever! I love it!

Check out some of the pics below and for more info, check out Parlour.

Friday Eye Candy: A Cougar's Best Friend

Why hello there!

I must say, today going good for the chica. I lost two pounds(yeaaaaaa buddy!), got free lunch from my office(which means extra money in my pocket) and I am getting $4 margaritas afterwork so I can say today was a good day

*cue Ice Cube song*

Anyway, lately I noticed in the blogger world that people are catching an attitude with Shaquille O'Neal's soon-to-be ex-wife Shaunie O’Neal(I wonder if she going to keep her last name. I mean O'Neal is where the money is???) Shaunie, the executive producer of the new hit Vh1 reality show "Basketball Wives", has been dating this ~~little boy~~ young man by the name of Marlon Yates.

The man is my age, 22 years young and he is a model. The LA native has had his run-in with reality television. He was a finalist on Oxygen's Janice Dickinson's Model Agency and has been in a couple of music videos. Now, a lot of women are complaining about this relationship because many feel as though Shaunie should "wait until her divorce is final."

My thoughts: F@&K THAT, HOMEBOY IS FIOONNNNEEE!!! GO SHAUNIE GO!!!!!

I don't care how young the boy is for her, he is too delicious to wait until the divorce is settled. I give him two thumbs up!

So, for today, feast your eyes on Mr. Yates and let us congratulate Ms. O'Neal. Even if it is a rebound fling, at least she is getting hers, right?

AOOOWWWWW :-p

For a minute, I was a tad bit worried that ATL's own Ciara had lost her edge. Fans wanted the old school, grinding on top of cars CiCi. Her last album wasn't up to par and I, as well as many, felt that maybe the "Princess of Crunk" has lost her uutspah. Well, rest assured fans because home girl is BACK!

Ciara takes it back to her old ways and deliver in her new video, "Ride." I am not going to front, this chick is BAD! I swear I am going to go on the ill soup and no Carbs diet just so I can get close to having her body.

The video's simplicity is so dope and the song is catchy too. Check out Cici's new vid featuring another personal fave of mine Ludacris.

Fellas, make sure you have water on stand-by.

Wed. Eye Candy:To Freak or Not to Freak?

Buenos Dias Mi Crazitas!!! Como estas?

This morning, I managed to have an interesting conversation with my train buddy you happens to be my neighbor.

As we're chatting, she ask me who is going to be today's eye candy?( She follows my blog and looks forward to the eye candy post, like many horny women I know lol) I told her I will be doing one today and then she ask out of no where, "Do you believe in morning sex?"

*Pause for reaction*

After five seconds of making the question register to me, I asked her why she's asking me this. I mean, it isn't normal to have this convo with my neighbor. Hell, home girl knows my mom! I asked her if she believed in it(to reverse the question off of me) and she said no.

*side-eye*

She says that's in the morning she is too "tired" and doesn't have the energy for it. Plus, she believes in the whole Lifetime Channel, love making nonsense.

Personally, not to put my business out there, I don't see the problem. I mean I do my ten minutes of cardio in the mornings so I know I would be game for a little "extra" with my coffee.

What do you guys think? Ladies, if your man wanted a little something in the morning, would you be willing?

Fellas, if your girl wanted to *cough* you while you're brushing your teeth, would you respond?

This might be too vulgar to say this early in the morning but that's why I am here...because I don't care and I think this is a valid question :-)

SOUND OFF!

I swear, riding the 5 train in NYC is such a movie, lol.

This morning, when I heard the news that rap legend Guru passed away, I thought it was just another cruel joke as their was a false report made about his death before. However, when I found out it was true, I couldn't believe it. For those who might not know, Guru was and will always will be one of the best MCs to ever step foot onto the hip hop game.

A little bit about Guru, Guru rose to fame in the late 1980s as part of the duo Gang Starr with partner DJ Premier. The pair helped define the New York underground rap. Guru found solo fame in 1993 when he released the first volume of his Jazzmatazz Series, an all-star project that featured a number of collaborations with jazz icons such as Branford Marsalis, Donald Byrd, Roy Ayers and Ronny Jordan, as well as vocals from Solaar and N'Dea Davenport of the Brand New Heavies. The album's mixture of jazz and rap was considered pioneering at the time, and the record spawned the hit "Trust Me." Guru would go on to make four volumes in the series.*

Guru will and always be one of the best to ever step into the game. I pray that as we celebrate the life of this legend, we remember what he has done for New York rap. The sound and the vibe that his music has created was genuine and real, something that one can say is missing in the rap world today. I pray that future MCs study what this man has done and carry on his legacy.

We will miss you Guru. Your music will live on....forever.

Tuesday Eye Candy: One Love on 4/20

Hello My Crazy Loves!

Happy 4/20!

As a non-smoker, I don't condone smoking in any way. HOWEVER, I am not afraid to admit that I do like the smell at times and I know that I am not the only one who has been to a party and just enjoy the smell from time to time. :-)

So for today's eye candy, I picked this legend not only because he was a huge stoner and proud to admit it but he made a difference through his songs and message; high and all. The man that I am talking about is Jamaican icon Mr. Bob Marley.

Bob Marley was and always is a hero figure in the classic mythological sense. Mr. Marley, a strong belief in the Rastafarian beliefs, to this day impacted the world and his music still puts me in the right sense of the mind.

Granted he had the Jamaican Man syndrome (which is can't keep his d*ck in his pants and have many women around the world) but his message will live on. So on 4/20, smoke away and groove to the vibes that is Bob Marley.

One love :-)

Thursday Grooves: Making Moves

Greetings from Myrtle Beach!!!!

I am here for work and a little bit of play but all in all, I am loving the sunshine!

So, for today's groove, I want to motivate the go-getters! I was introduced to this song when I was given an old school tape of his work( yes, sometimes I listen to tapes. Don't judge me!) This song is so dope and it puts me in the right mind so I want to send the positive vibes your way!

Have a good one and stay tuned as I will be giving you an exclusive to this year's Myrtle Beach Art Show!

Later days :-)

What's really good Crazyettes!

I am not going to lie; YOUR GIRL IS IN A FABULOUS MOOD! I truly have to commend myself on my strive and determination. To some, this would make me "cocky" or "full of myself" but I realized that if you aren't your biggest cheerleader than who will be?

Today, I had the hugest interview that I must say is the biggest one of my career so far. Anyone who knows me know that it has always been my dream to work in Sports Media. Therefore, when I received the call from_____, I was literally jumped around my house like a mad woman. As I entered the lobby, I felt confident and kept telling myself that "I got this!" I knew what I was capable of. As the receptionist led me into the conference room (who FYI was rocking shoes from Christian Siriano collection from Payless. Werk!) almost close to 25 applicants was there. *Heart drops*

Applicants from all over were there for the first round of interviews; people from England to France and California to Florida were there. I wanted to shit bricks but I held my composure and sat down waiting for the interview to begin.

As the small talk became underway, everyone begin to ask what school was everyone from. "Columbia University" "NYU" "University of Southern California" were just some of the school that were said. Then it came to me, " Iona College." After I said that, a girl from NYU (who by the way needs to learn how to put her clothes together; wearing a purple shirt and green accessories, hm) responded " Oh.......okay."

*Pause for reaction*

Now, you might have read that response as something that is normal but it was her tone that peeved me off. Her tone scream "Oh, this girl doesn't have a chance; she's from a small school." I noticed also that other applicants in the room felt the same way because Iona is small and their school is PRESTIGE , blah, blah, blah.

To some, this might break their confidence. However, this is CrazyPrettyLady and I LIVE FOR BEING THE UNDERDOG! All my life, things hasn't come easy for me and I am always placed in the category where I am the underdog. I am not rich nor have I always been the popular girl but I'm a natural fighter and I always get what I want.

So, as soon as Ms. NYU made her remark, I immediately went into "Bitch, I got this so pack up ya shit because your not getting this" mode . The interview started and my charm was in full swing. Some of the applicants were surprised at my credientals and confidence. I know that they never expected me to achieve the things I have achieved. They wrote me off as "no competition" and I love that!

After the interview, I was approach by the Marketing Associate and she admired my confidence( as well as my fro. I swear, I think this fro thing is going to be my signature. I've gotten so much love with my fro than when I wore a weave,lol.)

I'm not knocking folks who go to big schools, not at all. However, what I will say is that no matter where you are from or what you do, it is your hunger and your self-confidence that will get you were you need to be. I could have gotten frighten by their comments but I believed in myself and my capability and now I feel like I nabbed a second interview.

So for today's Tuesday Grooves, let's celebrate the Underdog with this joint! And remember, The best role model you can have in the world is yourself so be your biggest motivator.

YA DIG!

TA-TA!

Weekend Eye Candy: I WILL FOREVER LOVE THE LASERS!

Hola Mi amigos!

I have a huge Business Statistics exam (School Sucks Major Balls, FYI) so my whole entire weekend has been filled with Standardized Normal Distribution, Basic Probability and other BS I am probably going to forget by the end of this term.

Due to my non-stop study session, I had to take a break from Crazyland (Sorry but mama needs to get that A) and I have to miss an eye candy recipient in concert TWICE this weekend.

The eye candy I speak of is none other than Lupe Fiasco. Granted I have seen this man about 5 times but every time I go to his concerts, he never seem to disappoint. Plus, from what I've seen, homie has been in the gym. YESSS HONEY YESSSSSS!!!!!!

Since I wasn't able to be there in person, that doesn't mean I can't share the dopeness that went down, right?! Peep this clip from last night's concert.

God I love this man!

SHUT THE MOTHER EFFIN FRONT DOOR!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!

When I first read this over at Parlour, my jaw dropped. It looks like classic comic character, Archie is tasting the chocolate! Say Werd?!

Archie is supposedly have an affair with Valerie, the bassist from another classic Archie Comics franchise, Josie and The Pussycats! This is soo scandalous and I love it!!! It seems like Archie is enjoying the chocolate as well. He has a lovely glow to him in the recent pics (see below.)

** In my ghetto voice** AOOOOWWW YOU BETTA GET YOURS DADDY!!!!!

I guess Betty and Veronica are done-zo!

Peep more pictures of the two below. (I love how they are making this relationship to be a tabloid burner. Very cleaver!)

For more information about the latest issue of the classic comic, read here.

Crazy Fashion: Adapt to the Fashion

Hola People,

Shoutout to shantydorm for the heads up on this.

The San Francisco-based clothing label Adapt dropped their spring/summer lookbook for 2010. I must say I'm impressed with the style and quality of the shirts. It excudes the style of some designers I know. It is very "trendy, urban New York." I dig the style and I wouldn't mind seeing my dude rock a T-Shirt from the brand. Peep the pics below and also check out their website here.

Is it just me who think that the model been smoking a blunt? His eyes are CRAZY low, lol!

Thursday Grooves: It Just The Summertime....

Woooosaaahhhh!!!

For the past couple of days, NYC has been giving us a sneek peek for what's to come this summer and BABY, I'M LOVING IT!

So, for today's groove, it's only right that I pay homage to those wonderful days of Summer. I don't know about you guys but I can't wait for the beach, sandals, outside dining and NUTCRACKERS!(I'm referring to fireworks people! SMH, it's too early for that!)

So enjoy this classic summer jam! Feel free to bust out the whop or the butterfly(which was my FAVORITE dance. I'm nasty with it! :-) )

Enjoy :-)

Mean Muggin' Mondays: If Love Was A Blow-Up Doll...

Hello Darlings!

I had a FABULOUS Mean Muggin' Mondays post but Blogger decide to refresh itself and erase my post. FANTASTIC! Well, no need to cry over spilled milk. The show must go on!!!!

So for today's night cap(You like how I changed it up) I wanted to share with you my feelings on love. Now, now I'm not going to preach nor tell you how to find it; I just want to talk about....love; how beautiful it is, how nerve-racking it can be and how much I love it! However, take a moment to analyze this quote:

"I wish love was a blow-up doll. I can have it when I want then deflate it when I'm tired of it."

*Pause for Reaction*

When I first read this, I immediately busted out laughing because I randomly pictured a dorky nerd bringing his Blow-up doll with him to his prom.( Don't ask me why it came to my mind and don't judge me! lol) After I tamed myself, I decided to take a deeper look into that statement: What if love was a blow up doll? I mean you will have it when you want it; it won't complain nor would get tired during "activities."

Many times I read people's tweets or their Facebook statuses where they go on and on about how they wish they had control over their significant other to get their way. I know I am not the only one who has overheard a girl ranting about how " she want's this *expletive* to do what I *expletive* I want to do" or you hear guys say "This *expletive* should just shut up and just *expletive* my dick." (What?! I censored most of the bad words, saying dick won't kill you!) Therefore, many people would agree that they wouldn't mind if their lover can turn into a quiet, no-back talk blow-up doll. However, I poise the question, would you be able to last with this arrangement? Think about it. If your significant other was a "blow-up doll" meaning they never give you headaches and satisfy your every need, would you enjoy it forever?

I mean, to be real, I think that's torture! I mean, granted I believe the male species is the most annoying creature on the planet from time to time but I love them, headaches and all. I would rather have a guy that would challenge me than a push-over dude. Hell, I love the arguments! I sometimes use to start sh*t with my significant other to get some. I am a grown woman and I will admit it.

HI, MY NAME IS CRAZY PRETTY LADY AND I START ARGUMENTS WITH MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER TO ENSURE 8-HOUR OF MAKE-UP BLISS!!! :-p

I think that is what make relationship great! There isn't a perfect human being on this planet. So, why would you yearn for one? "For better and for worse", many people seem to forget this line when they enter a relationship. I am not saying that being argumentative is healthy because IT'S NOT but a little debate from time to time makes things fun. Therefore, if you want a "blow-up doll" go buy one, don't expect a human to be one.

What do you think? Do you wish love was a blow-up doll?

I don't know if I'd like the idea of that so I will deal with my hard-headed, stubborn, sarcastic bloak anyday :-)

Crazy TV: So Obnoxious...I Love It!

LMAO! I LOVE THIS FREAKIN' COMMERCIAL!

When I first saw this, I couldn't believe they would allow something like this on the tele but I love it! The message is so powerful yet hilarious!

Check out the obnoxiously funny U by Kotex commercial.

Shout out to the advertising team on this. Well done! lol

Monday Eye Candy: What happen to the Sexy Soap Stars???

Happy Monday My Crazy Loves!

Today, I had the opportunity to work at home so I been enjoying the sunshine wearing my favorite Mickey Mouse PJs (Don't sleep on my PJ game. I'm sick with it!) Anyway, I was sending out my emails and catching up on my reading when I stumbled upon the original "reality" shows; the shows that many housewives of America enjoy while they are taking care of the home. These shows are Soap Operas. Yes, I sat here all day today and watched "As The World Turns" and "The Bold & The Beautiful" and wonder what happen to the Soap Opera hunks.

I remember back in the day, I use to be OBSESSED with Shemar Moore's character when he was on The Young and The Restless.

*flash back to him shirtless*

YESSSS HONEY!!!!

However, what is the future of Soap Operas? Will there ever be "the wedding of the century" as big as Luke and Laura's from General Hospital.

As "Reality" TV rises, will there ever be another Sonny Corthinos that will capture our hearts right before we watch Oprah?

*Sigh* I guess we will never know. In the meantime, I'll just have fun admiring from afar (or when I peep SoapNet.)

Toodles :-)

Weekend Eye Candy: Sexy Bunny Hop Hop

Happy Easter My Crazy Loves!

For this special edition of Weekend Eye Candy, I would like to highlight men looking dapper in a suit. As I walked into church this morning (Yes, my crazy ass goes to church. I need God to give me sanity from time to time folks, lol.) I couldn't help but to be pleased to see men looking clean shaven and smelling like Unforgivable, Cool Water and other colognes. I have said this many times that I LOVE A MAN IN A SUIT. I am not referring to "the pimp suit" that I see some men wear. A nice, clean cut suit. It takes true talent for a man to be able to rock a suit oh so scrumptiously as he would rock jeans and kicks.

So shout out to those men wearing their Sunday best today. YOU BETTA WERRRKKKK!

Toodles :-)

Thursday Wake Up Call: You Can't Expect Success To Fall On Your Lap

Hello My Crazy Loves!

I have a bone to pick right now so this blog post is sponsored by the letter L.

*Crickets*

I "sponsored" this post because "L stand for Lame, Lazy and LOSER!" Today, as I was enjoying my day off, I received a IM that somewhat bothered me. An acquaintance hit me up to ask me about how am I doing in regards to college/work/life/etc. I told him I am doing good and how everything in my wonderful yet crazy life. I explained that I have my challenges but I am still grinding my way to the top. "Man but it's hard out here for a n*gga," he responded. "N*ggas gotta work to make it out here in these streets, ya dig." (Sorry for the ebonics, I am just telling you what he told me, ya dig!) As I was reading his response, I asked " I know it's hard but have you been looking for a job?" "No," he said." Well, did you finish up at school?" (Side note: I met the guy when I was in high school. I swear I had beer google in high school because HE IS SURELY A DUMBASS!) "Nah man, I really to get this music shit poppin'."

*WALK AWAY FROM MY COMPUTER AND BUSTED OUT LAUGHING!* After composing myself and I replied "So, have you been promoting yourself?"

After giving me a laundry list of excuses , I replied "So, you want this shit for free, then?" I guess that ruffled his feathers because I am still waiting for his reply. This is something that bugs me and I know I am not the only one who feels this way.

I wonder if my people are stuck in the mentality where we expect to get that quick fix of fame, satisfaction yet don't want it come to work for it and expect to get the same fix but not hustle for it. It gets on my nerves when I see people "blame it on the man" for their road block from success because it is not only just that; it is the lack of ambitious and hunger many people lack.

"Everyone wants to be Jay-Z but no one wants to grind like Jay-Z"

When will our generation learn? Just because you sing in the shower doesn't mean you're going to be sing on stage at Madison Square Garden; hell, I know that just because I write on a blog doesn't mean that I am going to be a NY Times Best Seller overnight! However, if I work at it, I will get there!

So I pose the question: Does our generation lack the "grinding" mentality? If so, what needs to be done to be it back?

SMH! No disrespect to my homie but I'm just being honest. If you're mad, Welp, *Kanye Shrug*
