Fall Fashion TRENDS 2009: Boudior Crossings
From lacy bralettes at Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton to molded corsets at Fendi and Hussein Chalayan, all eyes were on the bust for Fall. That is, when they weren't on the legs or the midriff. YSL's Stefano Pilati channeled Elsa Peretti as a Playboy bunny with a leather one-piece that bared his model's gams, while Roberto Cavalli and Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci played a game of now-you-see-it, now-you-don't peekaboo.

Round Table Full of Guys IDK what to do with...
Its hard to really explain but I have a round table full of guys IDK what to do with. Of course, I am feeling them all in a different way but I do not want to play this childish game although most of them know about the next because I am just that honest.
*I will give them "code names" && will not post up pics like I started to do so that they anonymous*
E(26): [short bout my size 5'2-5'3, brown skin, nice car, cutie with a ceasar]
wE have an ok vibe but he has nuttin to offer me other than $$$ && sex and a relationship cannot be base on that. At least not for me. No education beyond high school and stay trying to open up franchises and businesses. I need more then just a street hustler, I need someone going places other then the penitentiary....NEXT!
HD(28): [regualr size like 5'10-5'11, nice body, great smile, nice car, carmel honey COLLEGE GRAD]
wE have this BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND relationship, He is everything a woman wants and needs. He is very intelligent, sweet, sexy and humor at times. He is alittle shy though which makes the times we spend that much mysterious and adventureous. You never really know what he is thinking or how he is feeling unless he tell you. Great vibes when we are together I just need to stop over-analyzing situations sometimes and learn to just be patient.
JOKA(22): [tall bout 6'0, carmel sexy guyanese, nice smile, great voice]
wE have a LOVE HATE relationship cuz although I hate him and do not want to talk or see him for months. I have to say I Love Him lots he is a great friend, a good listerner. ONLY thing about him is he tries to be someone he is not and that turns me off.
COURT(28):[regular size about 5'10, light skin, sexy, nice smile, great body, bangin vibes]
wE have this BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND relationship although we are not official a couple. When we are together its like tunnel vision we worry about nothing in the world other than the two of us. But he is a MAJOR FLIRT and what makes it worse he's sooooo sexy and the bitches stay on and around him...OMG...I mean I know I am jealous but damn I be bout to loose my mind. What most people will not know about him from just looking at him is that he is very intelligent. He sure can hold a great convo && he loves to read..&& hell no not those hood books he buys at least 3 books a week. Great boyfriend material just need to be trained very well.
G(27): [tall && skinny]
wE have this homie relationship that can be trandformed to an relationship but his attitude..is YUCKY! ughhh ONLY thing that fucks him up. He is a cute but skinny, madd cool, a sense of humor yet shy sometimes.
wHAT to do this all this........Who Can I see myself with for more then a month or three???
E: Umm No. I do not see us goin out at all, although he proposed to me two times and I turned him down. He should be with a hood chick and that damn sure aint me. He str8 TRICKIN Material for me......Use em and Abuse em.
HD: Yea. He is like Husband Material to me def a keeper. I will cater to my boo for now and always. He just needs to stop working so damn much I mean really.
JOKA: On the fence, but for the most time YES. I can see us together as BOYFRIEND GIRLFRIEND but sad to say not for long because of his personality switch ups and all the drama he comes with. A migrane ready to happen.
COURT: He is another one thats good for a relationship but it would'nt last with me because of how flirtatious he is. Other then that we would probably be together along time. Husband Material minus the Flirting
G: No not anymore. Str8 Homie status!
