"Lost One" Found???

Do my effin eyes deceive me??!?!?! According to Sister to Sister, former Fugee Lauryn Hill is slated to perform at the 43rd annual Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland this coming July. OMG!!! Lauryn, is it so?!? I've prayed that she would get it together and put out some jams that would make up for the monstrosity of that damn Unplugged CD. Bleh.*raises hand* Ok, so a few questions. 1) Where the hell she been?!?! That damn Marley boy done got her barefoot and nekked somewhere locked up mentally & physically with all them kids. Please release my L Boogie permanently so that the universe can be balanced again! 2) Why the hell she gotta go all the way to Switzerland to come back on the scene? Is that a warning that she's not quite up to par yet? I really need my girl to come back swangin! "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" LP is in constant rotation on the Ipod and I want those glory days back! With that said, I'm really fearful ya'll cause I have visions she just might come out on the stage looking like this:And sounding like straight, freshly pasteurized boo boo. Scaring all them Swiss folks and make me shake my head oh so sadly. Well, we shall see how this goes!

Peep out the Montreux Jazz Festival's website for more info and stuff for the upcoming concert.

Now Watch Me 2-Step!

The 1st day of summer officially begins on June 21, 2009 at 1:45 AM EDT. But apparently some people especially women didn't get that memo and are beginning to wear sandals prematurely. Wearing sandals really isn't the issue but if your feet even slightly resembles the atrocity pictured above you are DEAD A*S WRONG!! If you are going to wear sandals at least take the time to make sure your feet are up to par! I personally get my feet done year round, I'm not a fan of feet period! So with that in mind I want to ensure mine are on point. I see a lot of women just paint their toes and forget about that skin! It's been sheltered, hibernating alllllll winter long..what makes you think it doesn't need any hydration and lubrication. Are you SSSSSSSSERIOUS??? To ensure you won't have "The Heels of Time" here are a few steps that I "walk" by.

1. Pedicures year round. (If you can't afford to visit a nail salon do it yourself)

2. Never walk outside barefoot! (Cement is rough it will tear your skin right on up)

3. Lube Lube Lube (Lotion alone does not work I either use lotion combined with baby oil, or Vaseline)

So, whether your rockin' a pair of Old Navy's finest 2 for $5 flip flops or the hottest pair or "Gladiator" flats make sure your "dogs" are on point and ain't "barking"!!!

KK's Backstage Pass: AF-1 Spring Tour

Seems as though Britney Spears and Beyonce aren't the only ones heading off successful tours this spring! Finally back from his first overseas visit (accompanied by First Lady Michelle), President Barack Obama may not have been able to dot all his I's and cross all T's intended, but the mission of turning the U.S. public opinion around was more than achieved. 

During both the NATO, EU and G-20 summits, President Obama was was able to get the last minute consensus of both the French and Chinese presidents over tax havens and financial regulations, while the Obama administration's Afghanistan review quickly became the center of attention. 

In Strasbourg, France, the President held a campaign-style town hall meeting! His main concern here was closing Guantanamo Bay Prison declaring, "America does not torture!"

In Prague, Czech Republic, thousands showed up to hear his big nuclear policy speech, waving and cheering him on all the way.

Certainly, one of the most cheerful times of this visit was when Obama was surrounded by the respect and admiration of Italy's Silvio Berlusconi and Russia's Dmitry Medvedev (pictured below).

President Obama's last stop was in Turkey, where his message was clear: "America is forging a new path to the Muslim world based on mutual respect and dignity, and that the old paradigm where all America's relationships were shaped by the "war on terror" is over...

All in all, I would say that his trip was a success and has put America back on track to being the dominant power-player that we once were but more importantly, garnering the respect of our nation. 

Got MLK?

I just got "LIFE" literally!! LIFE Magazine presents never before published pictures of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

From LIFE: On April 4, 1968, LIFE photographer Henry Groskinsky and writer Mike Silva, on assignment in Alabama, learned that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., had been shot at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis. They raced to the scene and there, incredibly, had unfettered access to the hotel grounds, Dr. King's room, and the surrounding area. For reasons that have been lost in the intervening years, the photographs taken that night and the next day were never published. Until now.

Sidebar: Is it just me or does it seem like MLK is getting a grip of attention lately. It's like they can't let our President Barack Obama get his own shine. You rarely see a picture without their two images. I mean don't get me wrong I'm proud of what Dr. King did for us as black people and this nation; and if it wasn't for him Obama will not be able to be where he is today, but d*mn can the man get some of his own lime light?? I'm just saying!!

KKNTM: North Cacky-Lacky's own, Vee Wess

KK'ers, we've found her: KK's Next Top Model! This southern belle, 

originally from NC, is definitely about to tip the scales of the industry whether it be modeling or acting! Vee Wess recently starred in the BLACKbuster hit, "Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?" as well as a couple of independent films, including “For Thy Love” starring Tray Chaney of HBO’s The Wire. Vee's beauty and awe-spiring personality has led her to several modeling opportunities, featured roles, and promotional gigs. You may remember seeing Miss Wess in Trey Songz “Gotta Make It” or J. Holiday’s “Be With Me.”

Seems Ms. Wess took a lil' hiatus from the big screen after her role in Perry's film, and is currently wrapping up on her Axe Boost Campaign tour and will soon head to the Gulf Coast to start work on 

a new campaign with the Miller Lite company. Our girls a hard-worker too! And for my fellow male KK'ers, Vee's measurements definitely add up coming in at 34-26-36...but don't look too hard! Vee is happily married although, I don't think her man minds the fans at all!

This North Carolina A & T alumni is definitely reppin' NC to the fullest!! You can see more of Vee Wess on her website or her Myspace page. Look out for this one, because she came ready to play!
