STOP FAKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Ladies and Gents,

I had a time in my life where knock-offs were what I bought, until I found out how they
affected our economy, our war fighters, as well as my potential goal in purchasing the real thing in my life time. I bring this up because I realized that many women have a shoe addiction much like me, and one of my bucket list events was to purchase a pair of Christian Louboutins. Luckily I received my first pair of Loub’s as a gift. Prior to my purchase I researched the designer and the authenticity of the shoe when I found hundreds of websites selling them on line 90% cheaper than in the department stores. There are several issues that arise with purchasing fakes which include but are not limited to child labor, funding of terrorists, and increase in price of designer materials.

My curiosity was struck when I saw the large difference in price from Saks, Neiman
Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman to companies listed online located in China. When I attempted to contact the overseas companies they refused to provide alternate pictures to evaluate specific features the Christian Louboutin shoe has such as the seamless leather stitch up the back of the pumps. On the fakes, the seam of the back of the shoe also has an overlapping tab; also on fakes the bottom of the shoe appears to be a matte red not the bright signature red on the real shoe.

The child labor in third world countries for fake items Americans purchase fuel the war on terrorism. The money received from each fake item we use helps to purchase guns, drugs, and safe houses for U.S. enemies. Meanwhile, your bag or shoe will only last for a few months and then you'll feel compelled to go and buy another fake bag to replace the broken one. In essence, each time you purchase a fake bag you have helped kill or exploit an innocent child and U.S. Soldier. In hindsight, you are stunting your very own growth in purchasing power. On average a fake bag cost $90, and women who own fakes own on an average of 23-47 fakes in their lifetime, therefore by the time someone pays for a fake they could have purchased quite a few real shoes, bags, jewelry etc!

I ask all of you to stop allowing fakes to dominate your leisure spending, know your product, and if you can’t afford it, save up for it. It is well worth the wait!! Please... whatever you do stop.... making it more expensive for me to live well!

What Did Whitney Houston Mean to You?

Although Whitney may not have written this song, in my opinion, it was Whitney's gift to me and you and I think she lived by these words.


I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows.
If I fail, If I succeed,
At least I'll live as I believe.
No matter what they take from me, they can't take away my dignity
Because the Greatest Love of All... Is Happening to Me.
I found the Greatest Love of All... Inside of Me.

Years ago, I fell in love with this song. I loved it so much, I would record it on a blank tape in my boombox when it came on the radio, and listen to it over and over again. I remember writing the lyrics on my Mom's yellow notepad. This way, I couldn't forget the words.

And it worked.
I listened to this song for the first time in .... maybe 15 years... the day after Whitney died.
I sang along without missing a word. Then I cried. And I really haven't stopped.

No. I don't walk around every minute crying, but my heart aches for Whitney. My heart breaks for Bobbi Christina. My chest heaves heavily for Cissy Houston. Believe it or not, I just want to hug Bobby Brown because I am afraid that no one really has. I am a fan in pain.

Whitney was a beautiful woman. A beautiful human. And indeed, she was human. Flaws and all. As we grieve her death, we need to remember her life and acknowledge who she was. No human is perfect, and Whitney gave us the gift of "keeping it real". While everyone wants to sit down, stand tall and blame Bobby, please remember this: Whitney was an Alpha Woman. Whitney made her choices and she lived with them... until God asked for her spirit to leave this Earth. Bobby may not have brought out the best in Whitney at times, but Whitney was human and a mighty one with her own beliefs, wants, needs, um... you get my point. Passing judgment is a waste of time.

Let us celebrate Whitney's life through the beautiful songs that she sang with such a pristine rare quality, they become unforgettable. Let us pray for her spirit... Let us pray for her family during this rough timeline. Let us pray for each other and remember our own humanity... and the humanity of others.

Whitney... May Your Soul Rest In Peace and May Your Beautiful Spirit Forever Live through your Music. A definitive SongModel. Amen.
