Leopard is definitely in for Fall 2010! As soon as I saw these shoes, I had what I call a SHOEGASM ... It's the tingly feeling I get inside when I see a shoe that is as sexy and irresistable as Christian Louboutin's Dorepi Pump. This 5" heel is a sure way to bring sexy back but with a $895 price tag, to some of us rocking this pump is only a dream. These will definitely be on my Christmas wish list!

Colombian Hitlist on Facebook
Colombia is already known for the inspiration to many films that portray "gangsta life" and "drug trafficking" etc.. the latest in the news is that Colombia has a crazy list rotating on facebook of Teenagers that were threatened and few successfully murdered. They were told to leave colombia in 3 days or die. The internet is not a place to have all of your personal information up. They say keep your friends close and your enemies closer..but I doubt they mean on the web! Check out CNN article below:
(via CNN) -- Three teens who were on a 69-name hit list posted on Facebook have been killed in the past 10 days in a southwestern Colombian town, officials say. Police say they do not know who posted the list or why the names are on it. "It is still not clear," Colombian national police spokesman Wilson Baquero told CNN. "This is part of the investigation." But officials note that a criminal gang known as Los Rastrojos and a Marxist guerrilla group called the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia operate in the area.
The hit list on Facebook, which was posted August 17, gave the people named three days to leave the town of Puerto Asis or be executed, said Volmar Perez Ortiz, a federal official whose title is defender of the public. Police at first thought the posting was a joke, Perez said in a statement issued Saturday. But the publication of a second list with 31 additional names led authorities to convene a special security meeting Friday, Perez said.
The posting of the lists and the meetings occurred after the first two killings, which took place August 15, Perez said. On that day, officials say, 16-year-old student Diego Ferney Jaramillo and 17-year-old CD retailer Eibart Alejandro Ruiz Munoz were shot and killed while riding a motorcycle on the road between Puerto Asis and the town of Puerto Caicedo. Both their names were later found on the first published hit list. Also on the list was Norbey Alexander Vargas, 19, who was killed August 20, Perez said. Another young man, 16-year-old student Juan Pablo Zambrano Anacona, was wounded in the same incident when he gave chase to the assassins, Perez said.
Colombian media said Monday the number of those threatened has grown and panic has overtaken Puerto Asis, with some parents sending their children out of town because their names are on the Facebook notice. The names of 31 women were posted on the other list, said Radio RCN, semana.com and other news outlets. Residents have been overcome with "panic and anxiety," several news outlets quoted Putumayo state official Andres Gerardo Verdugo as saying. Several of those residents posted their concerns on Twitter, an online messaging site. "Panic in Puerto Asis, Putumayo, because of threats against young people," wrote a user who goes by JuanSepulvedah. "Our youth must be protected." Someone who posted under the name JulianEco brought up the Facebook connection. "The situation in Puerto Asis is tenacious, that a social site be used to add fire to the Colombian conflict," the post said. Twitter user hugoparragomez likened the situation to the drug-fueled crime waves in other Colombian cities.
"What is happening in Puerto Asis, Putumayo, is grave, the same as in Medellin," the tweet said. "Authorities should take control of the situation. Who is investigating?"
Still others inflated the death count.
"In Puerto Asis they have killed 20 young people threatened on Facebook and the authorities have not said anything," wrote jesusmhenriquez "That is Colombia." Federal officials say they are taking the threats seriously and have sent investigators from Bogota, the nation's capital, to Puerto Asis. Internet experts are among the investigators assigned to the case. Authorities also are offering a reward of 5 million pesos (around $2,750) for information on the killings.
Perez, the federal defender of the public, noted that the Los Rastrojos criminal gang is active in Puerto Asis, "executing violent actions, resolving community conflicts, imposing living and conduct norms, intimidating and meting punishment against ... drug sellers and consumers, sex workers, people with criminal and unlawful histories and threatening social leaders, business people, taxi drivers and motorcycle taxi drivers." Perez said the Marxist guerrillas, commonly known as the FARC, also are active in the remote area, which borders Ecuador. Two Facebook representatives did not return a message Tuesday asking for comment.

Hip-hop star Pharrell Williams is battling an Italian fashion firm over his Ice Cream clothing line. He's suing the Gilmar Group for blocking a trademark application on his brand name on grounds that it's too similar to Gilmar's Ice and Iceberg labels. The acclaimed music producer claims that adding the word "cream" -- street slang for money -- "creates a vastly different sound, appearance, meaning and overall commercial impression." (AP)
Madonna and daughter Lourdes are being sued for her new "Material Girl" fashion line for teenagers by a California clothing company that says it has been using the name since 1997. They don't want Madonna selling in same retail outlets nor at similar prices they wined about it not being fair! They told the judge they want her to fork over all teh profits asap! (Can you believe that..WTH!) Madonna teamed up with 13-year-old daughter Lourdes to design the 1980s-inspired line, which came from the pop star's punk-girl style when she rose to fame and recorded the 1985 hit "Material Girl." If anyone should have the name branded I think she should, hey Madonna.. just buy them out boo!Taylor Lautner The “Twilight” teen actor is claiming “emotional distress,” fraud and “annoyance” after a $300,000 trailer he ordered to use while shooting a new movie failed to arrive on time. Lautner, 18, is seeking unspecified damages for the no-show vehicle, which was reportedly promised to him by June 21. Apparently, the trailer wasn’t “tricked out” to Lautner’s liking nor was it delivered on time. The RV was to be used while the actor filmed the movie “Abduction,” which co-stars Sigourney Weaver and Alfred Molina. (VIA AP)
Celeb Suicide Attempts/Scares back to back!! :
Fantasia Barrino attempted suicide and said it was NOT an accident, after trying to overdose herself on August 9th with a bottle of aspirin she stated: "I was tired of people doing me wrong, constantly, over and over again, dealing with my family — my father, dealing with men and their [expletive] — I was tired,” she said. “My head was hurting me. I was over it."
Timbaland scared the hell out of his family and fans! He text a family member while he was driving and said he was by a cliff and "tired of the stress". He later called up Ryan Seacrest's radio show and said he was not suicidal....wheeewwwwwww... stick around Tim we need you here in the music world!
GOSSIP!!:
Kimora Lee Simmons
Just days after Kimora released a statement saying she was moving on from Baby Phat, new reports have surfaced saying she was actually FIRED! Kimora Lee Simmons was “unceremoniously dumped” from Baby Phat, sources close to the ex-model said of her abrupt exit from the clothing company she founded with ex-husband Russell Simmons. Sources said Simmons is mulling a possible lawsuit against owner Kellwood. “She was blindsided that Kellwood fired everyone,” said one. But another Baby Phat insider it could have been a way to slash costs: “Kimora was going over-budget. She’d pay herself a fee to be in the ads, plus she paid her children fees to appear in ads. It costs thousands of dollars to airbrush her because she’s a size 10. Plus, they spent a ton of money on body doubles. They would shoot another model in the clothes, and take Kimora’s head and put in on her body.” Kellwood had no comment.

Fabulous on a Budget!
I'm a girl and I like what most girls like, shopping, drinks with my best friends, obsessing about what humidity does to my hair, and yearning over other women's nice shoes.
But aside from all that I'm a Latina.
And Latina woman were raised to learn how to be fabulous on a budget, from clipping coupons to asking Titi Laura to do your hair instead of paying at a salon full price.
I embrace my girlie girl-ism and my roots. Just because this economy isn't up to par doesn't mean I cant be a fashionista.
Call me a "Recessionista"
Here are a few tips on how to live fabulously without having to spend mucho dinero.
1. Purchase gift cards online from others:
People always need and want money, especially in this economy so they're are looking for anything to sell for some quick cash. One of the items that is ahead of the list is gift cards/ store credit they have. No matter what gift cards equal money. They either got it as a present, won it, or it have left over money from an item they returned that they couldn't get a refund for.
I love Craigslist.com and Ebay.com as I am always checking for deals on these websites. It's a great place to find people selling these gift cards with huge discounts. I recently bought an American Apparel gift card valued at $175 for just $125! That's a definite 30% discount!
Look for these gift cards online on www.Craigslist.com, www.Ebay.com, www.Backpage.com, www.Kijiji.com but always make sure to check the gift card value with the store it comes from before you give them any money for it.
2. Go back to school:
I don't know any female that doesn't like to indulge in an occasional massage, pedicure, or facial.
Since we are on a budget, we shouldn't have to go to an expensive spa since many massage and beauty schools offer the same services for half the price.
You can find many great schools through www.Yelp.com. They also have reviews where you can compare and contrast to make a better choice.
3. Happy Hour at Tu Casa:
My girls and I love to meet up for Happy Hour after a stressful day of appointments, errands, childcare, & work. Its always a great way to catch up and relieve stress but all those drinks even at a discounted price can really put a dent in your cartera.
Invite your girls over to your place and if it goes well you can take turns for the next "Happy Hour" amongst your friends so your not always hosting it. You can buy a bottle at the liquor store and make it fun by looking online for recipes. You can all get loose for only $10 bucks each. Plus, you can control your own music and don't have to deal with interruptions from other people.
4. Thrifty Fashion:
I love going to thrift stores and buying books at .25 cents a pop instead of paying $10 and up for a paperback and thats not the only good thing about a thrift store. If you like shopping (like I do) going through all sorts of clothing to find a funky outfit is actually pretty fun plus you'll own an outfit that no one else has. I always find the craziest accessories which is stuff from the 70's, & 80's that people donate.
Sometimes the coolest stuff out there was owned by someone else. Look for cool stuff in flea markets, garage/ yard sales that are usually listed on Craigslist. Also, Ebay & Freecycle.com have some cool stuff at next to nothing prices. My favorite thrift store that I just discovered is Unique. They have many stores throughout the tri-state area and they can be easily googled for more information.
5. Someone else's basura (trash) can be your tesoro (treasure):
This is an oldie but a goodie and it also applies to your ex. (haha)
But it is true how your "crap" may be another ladies new item and vice versa.
Set up a clothing swap with friends. Invite everyone to bring clothes they don't use, want, or need anymore and you'll be surprised to see how many items you want that others would have merely thrown away or donated. I scored a couple of dresses from girlfriends that didn't fit right on them but looked great on me! It's also a perfect excuse to catch up with friends without having to spend the money.
Happy fabulous-ness!

No Fair Job Fair and Social Network Foolery
"No Fair Job Fair and Social Network Foolery"
by Jackie da Model

twitter.com/jackiespeaks247
This is the story of an unfortunate event and a lesson on avoiding social networking drama. As I read my daily tweets, emails, and informative notifications from friends I came across a text blast for a job fair. Being the thoughtful person I am, I sent it to a friend that is currently struggling looking for employment. I even hooked up her resume!
Later that day I call to ask her about the job fair, she told me it never existed. I was mortified!! The site of Job Fair was at Brooklyn College. The source of posting was the Fox 5 News website.
“Excuse me where is the Job Fair that was advertised for Brooklyn College Location” she asked a security guard. “What Job Fair?, Why does everyone keep asking me about a Job Fair, there is nothing going on here today” He whined annoyed that she was not the first and most likely not the last to ask him that on his shift!
I bet he couldn’t wait to leave his post. Anyway the moral of the story is any “Blast” you get on Blackberry Messenger, Twitter, and or other social networks should be thoroughly referenced and even if a News Station with a good reputation in society posts a blog, you should probably call before heading out the house. Save the time, energy, and money before taking a chance. That was a No fair Job Fair!!!
I looked it up, and what happened was they made a posting they then edited the blog and changed it to Tuesday August 24th without keeping the misinformation from August 23rd post and clarifying there was a change in schedule. So that means there was an angry mob yesterday and minimal outcome today due to mis-communication.
SOCIAL NETWORK FOOLERY!
Examples of boredom and annoyance on social network blasts all over the world.
“Please read this now (insert cheesy blast here), if you don't fwd to all your friends your phone will erase all of your contacts”
“God said to tell you that (insert motivational, or passive aggressive saying) and you must fwd this or something bad/good will/wont happen to you”..
“Select from 1-10 ( list of idiotic and immature choices on what you feel toward the sender) and then re post to see what ppl think of you” (1. cute, 2. sexy, 3. relationship material, 4. one night stand, 5. ugly as hell.. etc… lol )
“Whos up” (written at 4am…obviously YOU are if you blasting this..some of us like to sleep!)
SERIOUSLY??????… First of all God doesn't do email, twitter, or BBM…and he is not going to condemn me for sending you to spam folder. Second of all if God is messaging you its time to re evaluate your sanity.
Examples of attempts at helpful / resourceful messaging:
“Hey everyone please see list of Phone numbers for city jobs and pass along to whomever is in need..”
“Amber alert for (insert description) ….” <—(sometimes these are blown outta proportion but most times they work and help save lives.
Now that you get the idea.. if you have a blackberry you now have a heads up on the BBM Blast app and who to avoid!! lol.. if you read your email blasts or use social networks.. keep your eyes open and ears peeled ..don’t jump to conclusions before researching.
Good ways to avoid email spam are:
ON EMAIL: www.boxbe.com (Boxbe is the easy-to-use free service that organizes your inbox and eliminates your email … Unlike built-in spam filters)
ON TWITTER: http://www.truetwit.com
- Verify people from robots
- Avoid Twitter spam
- Save time managing your followers
ON BBM:
Well they havent developed anything yet, so best advice is to just be selective with accepting friends and if they send you any blasts that annoy you warn and delete!
IN GENERAL:
If you are in the industry, you should maintain a personal page as well as an entertainment page to avoid spam. A lot of promoters tag us in flyers for events on FB .. my tactic is to write on comment field with a snippy reply on my Jackie mode!! example- “Hi this is Jackie’s page, i am not a bulletin board perhaps if you invite her directly she may go.” or my favorite ” This is my pay-pal email ______@___.com please submit deposit for my promotion or appearance at this venue, thank you in advance” They are bound to leave you alone!
I hope this was helpful … stay tuned.. for Jackie Speaks Radio Show beginning August 9th Every Thursday 8-10pm sharp est on www.urbanlatinoradio.fm

FASHION WEEK GOES DIGITAL IN NYC 2010

jackiedamodel@gmail.com
twitter.com/jackiespeaks247
Psssssstttttttttt.....guess what the word on the street is? FASHION WEEK is going digital this year! Think Airport Kiosk meets big apple fashion world. This year instead of guest lists on clipboards, and special lines for different guests there will be Kiosks to organize the madness. Upon arrival guests will register at a kiosk and their seating arrangements will be designated. No more special bands or stamps and excuses as to where you left your "ticket" and "who you know". If you dont have the printout from Kiosk you will be sent away. How is this going to play out for the spoiled group? is the question. I couldn't imagine someone famous or of high caliber being sent away like a kid with a fake ID at a tattoo parlor!
We all have that one friend that shows up at the last minute to support your venue / event (even though you tell them 2 months ahead) but at least they show up. I personally think the kiosk idea is great for organizational purposes and also to decrease chaotic setting. However..if you cannot purchase on the spot or have a "will call" situation for last minute friends / family / supporters it may cause more stress than desired when you have to do damage control. Theres pro's and con's to every idea..this is an idea they will just have to try for trial and error...gods speed to the event coordinators!

OMEGA got his US VISA now lets party!
There’s been a longtime story about Omega ‘El Fuerte’ and his visa status to travel to the US.
Supposedly, he’s been denied entrance to the US because of his run-in with the law specifically having to do with illegal firearms.
Well, his reps have sent us an press release regarding that. They say:
“We have been alerted about various media outlets dispensing inaccurate information about Omega’s affiliations, Visa status and U.S. return.
Omega is looking forward to his U.S. tour to share music off his upcoming album with his fans. He is currently touring Europe and Latin America. Up next, Omega will take the stage at the famed “Festival Presidente” in Santo Domingo on August 26th, where he will perform alongside Latin music stars Juanes, Luis Enrique and more. Omega will also be featured with Wisin y Yandel on the hot new remix of Enrique Iglesias’ newest song No Me Digas Que No. Omega’s current hits include Merengue Electronico and Tu Si Quieres, which have been climbing up the radio charts and heating up dance floors across the world.
We are slated to release a public announcement to the media regarding the details of his U.S. tour very soon.”
So, he got the visa to travel to the US after all.
The press release mentions ‘inaccurate information’, probably about the firearms gossip, but doesn’t clear it up at all.

BONG GONE WRONG!
When i see this picture in the paper all of a sudden i thought: BONG GONE WRONG!!! and envisioned a mom in jail and her baby taken away and being raised by strangers due to her stupidity!
FACEBOOK the start to many a woe.. whether its a relationship squabble over a comment post, picture post, and or LIE to excuse the content or just a plain old embarrassing TAG in a photo. For some it is a personal site to share and communicate with relatives…and for others like teenage mom Rachel Stieringer in Florida it is a testament to her immaturity and entertainment for ignorant people part of Unfit Parents Association (just kidding that association doesnt exist but if it did shed be the CEO)..anyway.. Miss Rachel thought it would be funny to take a picture of her 11 month year old baby with a bong, and even funnier to post it on facebook for her friends to see. WHATS THE NUMBER TO ACS AGAIN!?…. heres the photo! (photo via new york post)
The mom was also arrested and let out on bail last month for possession of drugs.. the bail was $502 (weird amount but anyway…) Mom defended her actions by saying that she would never put her baby in danger, there was no tobacco in the pipe and she posted that pic to show “one f****g person” and it got blown out of proportion ..she whines that now everyone is bashing her for what she did.
well you know what .. if your baby gets arrested for selling and doing drugs when hes older im sure he will think its funny if he has your sense of humor THAT IS ALL!!
