I Can’t See The Articles (FAQ’s)

Lately I’ve been getting a few complaints from viewers who can’t see the entire content of the article. I’ve checked with wordpress.com and I do apologize for these problems. Below I’ve listed a couple of solutions from the wordpress.com support page. If you have anymore problems after this please don’t hesitate to contact me. I do not want your fashion to suffer over internet problems

Browser Issues
Browser, browsers, Cache, cookies, Refresh
Note: We recommend that you use Firefox for optimal performance with WordPress.com.

Force Refresh
A force refresh or reload will cause the browser to re-check with the web server to make sure it has the latest copy of the web page you are viewing:

Windows: Ctrl + F5
Mac/Apple: Apple + R or Cmd + R
Linux: F5

Clear Your Cache and CookiesEach time you access a web page, your web browser stores a temporary copy of the files needed to display the web page to you. Those temporary files are called the browser cache. If your cache is not updating properly or if it’s stuck, you could be viewing an older version of some of the supporting files.

If you are experiencing problems displaying WordPress.com pages, clearing the browser cache is a good first step to try to resolve the issue. If that doesn’t help, you should also try clearing the browser cookies. Instructions for clearing cache and cookies are different for each browser and version. Google has outlined the steps for all major browsers:

Clearing cache and cookies Note: It is also possible for your Internet Service Provider to create a cache at the network level. This means that instead of viewing the WordPress.com web servers for some files, the ISP has created a cache to store files on their network to try to reduce bandwidth costs and also to make loading some web pages faster. If a network-side cache is causing you trouble, you most likely just need to wait for it to clear out on its own.

More TroubleshootingIf you are still having trouble, here are a few more things you can try:

Upgrade your browser and Flash Player to the latest version available.
Make sure wordpress.com, wp.com and their subdomains (*wordpress.com / *.wp.com) are not blocked by your browser. This also applies to your firewall or anti-virus software settings if you have any.
Try an alternate browser. If it works, then the issue is with the browser settings. Look for troubleshooting tips on your browser’s support documentation.
Internet Explorer Solution Center
Troubleshooting Firefox
Safari Support
Try an alternate computer in the same location. If another computer works, then the issue is computer settings on the first one.
Try an alternate location that has a different Internet Service Provider. If it works, the issue is with your local network.

Trend I Noticed This Week

I live in Detroit most of the time, which is not in the top ten when on the list of “Cities to Watch for Fashion Trends.” But this past week, I couldn’t help but to notice that more and more people are walking around with these wooden catholic rosary bracelets. Teenage girls, middle-aged men, everyone! Even people who aren’t catholic and have no clue of the significance of the jewelry they’re wearing are popping these bracelets onto their wrists.

Did I miss something here? I know I don’t watch MTV or BET as much as I used to when I was sixteen. Did some famous pop star just convert their religion? Since I’m not catholic and I don’t attend catholic school anymore maybe I missed the sudden surge of people who come to mass on Sunday mornings. Or maybe Detroit’s onto something here….hmm…stay tuned…

Female Owner=Beating Oprah to the Punch! The Tyra Show Over after 5 seasons

People.com published a story saying they had an exclusive interview with Tyra Banks, who confirmed that she was quitting The Tyra Show. Can you believe it?! When I heard the news I wanted to calmly take Tyra to the side, grab her shoulders and shake her while screaming,” YOU ARE NOT OPRAH!” Yes Tyra has accomplished a lot in her career. I won’t deny it, until I got sick of hearing Tyra compare her career in modeling to the obese women or transsexual prostitutes sitting on her talk show couch I tuned in pretty regularly to watch her daytime show. She provided a new twist on daytime television by offering to discuss topics that were often to blunt or personal to talk about in the past. Her show hasn’t won two Emmy Awards by just being normal.

So why quit? Tyra says that she wants to focus on turning her new project, Bankable Studios, which will be a film production company based in New York. She wants to still promote the positive woman body images that she thinks (but everyone else knows she hasn’t) she’s been promoting on shows like America’s Next Top Model. Oh yeah, telling models they’re fat is really breaking the barriers in the modeling industry. Tyra has been inspired by top machos like Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey to conquer more in the entertainment industry. 

Honestly Tyra, don’t break something if it ain’t broken. If it wasn’t for your show, I would not know the disgusting things that happen when you’re pregnant and opt for adoption. You’ve had five great years and you really put a young spin on talk shows. Don’t stop something great just because you want to be the high school prom bitch and rule everything. And no, I’m not hating, I’m telling it like it is.

This season, The Tyra Show’s fifth will be the final one. Production will rap up in May 2010.

Weird Video of the Week

Ok Tyra…..What is going on? Sometimes I love the Tyra Show because it asks the questions that Oprah and Martha Stewart are afraid to ask. But sometimes it GOES there. We don’t need to see everything girl. Check it out

Best Halloween Prank of 2009

I saw this prank on tv and I literally laughed myself out of bed. Happy Halloween. LOL

female owner= can a sista get a nut?

I don’t have a rich uncle who can loan me $10,000 on a whim. I’m not exactly in the best place financially. And I’m still in school. So what the hell am I doing going into a business?

Well for one it’s something I really have wanted to do for a long time. I didn’t just wake up one morning and decide to do this, Scones has been years of thoughtful planning. But how in the world am I supposed to start a business with no money?

I have been advised not to take out a business loan. With the amount of money I already owe on college loans and credit cards that would not be the smartest decision. I don’t have any close friends or family who are financially stable at the moment. So what do I do?

I have one of two options; start my business one dollar at a time or take out a grant. I’ve decided to try both. You would think that it would be easy for a girl in college with a great business plan to get a grant, right? WRONG! It’s been one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.

Sometimes it seems like it would be so much easier to do this the non-legal way or just to come up with some quick scam. It’s just like when I was little growing up in the city; how I always saw the drug dealers witht he fancy cars and the nice clothes and the preachers and teachers were walking around with foreclosure statements on their doors. What’s a girl to do? I do know what to do; keep striving and keep trying. Because not only could I fufill my dream of being a business owner when I finally get this idea off of the ground but I could help benefit a lot of people. Just needed to get some steam off of my chest before I put my nose back to the grindstone.

Fashion = Look at the fashion blogs, not in the stores

I hate the job of a stylist. Yes, in many cases they are needed, but they take all of the fun out of getting ready. Before we knew that there was a such thing as a astylist many of us would open a magazine or see our favorite celebrities get out of a limo at some fancy event and silently compliment them on their style choice. We wondered how long they fretted over their outfit, where they gained their fashion sense, and which stores they went to.

It helps people to see people that are shaped like them that actually picked out the clothes that they have on their body. To see someone who shares many of their intrest with a new style that they would like to try. Since all of that is no more I highly suggest that you now go to the fashion blogs to gain some sense of the world of fashion and not the fashion mags. Yes that skinny girl in Vogue looked great in that dress/sweater thing but she had no idea she was going to wear that until five minutes before the shoot. 

The great thing that I love about many of the fashion blogs is that they are street blogs. The person who manages the blog goes out onto the street and takes a picture of people that they think have a great sense of style and blog about it. They might even go up to them and ask them where they got their clothes and why they chose to pattern this piece with the other piece. That way you get a real sense of the mind behind the fashion persona. Plus most of these stylish people are ahead of the curve and are wearing the clothes that will be in style next season.

David Letterman…keep it in your pants

Since I have been without power for the past few hours and without internet for the past few days the only news that has reached my ears is the announcement that David Letterman is sleeping with his staff. My first thought; who really gives a shit? There are more important things going on in this world. Did we forget that we are currently in a war?!! It’s news like this that really makes me think the government is trying to make us forget that we are supposed to be concerned about our troops and why they have yet to come home.

But anyway back to the subject at hand….David Letterman wanting to sex up his female staff. I really don’t see a problem with it. All of the females involved participated in consensual sex not rap or abuse and all of them walked away happy. It’s not like it’s a crime to see a hot girl in the office and you being the testosterone filled man that you are take her out for a few drinks and then bang her.

But of course you have to think about the consequences of actions like that. Thankfully none of these relationships occured while David Letterman was married so he doesn’t have a divorce suit on his hands; but from what I hear his wife (who used to work for him) is upset to find out that David slept with another woman during the early stage of their relationship. Not to mention the fact that I’m sure David Letterman slept with more than one woman more than once and created a few grudges in the office. How must those women have felt? Not to mention the fact that he’s FAMOUS!! I swear to peanut butter these men that get caught in these sex scandals are dumb as hell. All of them are married so it’s not like you’re not getting any at home. Don’t they think before they pull down their pants (obviously not).

I caught a clip of David Letterman’s show after he announced his big scandal and I could see that he was trying really hard to make a joke out of it. Which kind of annoyed me. I’m sure that the women you slept with and your wife don’t take it as a joke. And you sure as hell won’t when you’re in court. So next time David Letterman save us the abuse we have to go through by watching your sex scandal be the top story on tonight’s news. Keep it in your pants.
