Don’t ask me why, but every single time I hear Pitbull, I hear, think, feel Miami.

He’s probably as Dirty South as they come, but his beats warm my little heart when I’m away from home…take that as twisted as you will, lol. more…

None {iStyle} How to Dress Like You Have a Trust Fund

By Bridie Clark, guest blogger
Author of The Overnight Socialite

You know the type:  It’s raining, or 3 am, or the middle of yoga class and this woman looks crisp, pulled together, ready for her close-up. Her hair is freshly blown-out, her jewelry is tasteful Cartier.  Linen wouldn’t dream of wrinkling when she wears it. Seeing her, you envision a walk-in closet full of neatly folded Italian cashmere. She must be rich, you think. Her look would be impossible to achieve — or maintain — without a trust fund and a lot of free time. more…

MAD WOMEN logo/name/likeness by Sasha H. Muradali. 2009 All Rights Reserved.

Oh no they didn’t! Oh yes, indeed, they did.  Advertising Barbie and Ken are here!

Now you too, ladies and gay gents, can take home your very own Don Draper, Roger Sterling, Joan Holloway and Betty Draper from Mattel.

From Oprah, to Jeopardy, to Saturday Night Live to a Simpson’s spoof — it’s all about advertising in the 1960s.

Releasing later in 2010, the dolls are part of Mattel’s Barbie Fashion Model Collection and will retail for approximately $74.95 USD each. Considered premium-price collector’s dolls, they are in the same company as the more…

Down the Rabbit Hole by Sugarock99 BBC plan to axe Music6 and Asian Network is UNstrategic, Ageist and Silly #Fail

Last week the BBC announced last week it’s plans to close Music 6 and the Asian Network as part of it’s strategy to save money. The plan, you can read it here (or the .pdf files here and here), detail

what the future direction of the corporation ought to be.

Now, while that’s all well and good, I was a little confused about the plan when I read it. Not to mention the fact that  there is an immense amount of public outrage on more…

“No te vayas, no te vayas
Oye negrita mira, no te rajes
De lunes a viernes tienes mi amor
Déjame el sábado a mi que es mejor
Oye mi negra no me castigues más
Porque allá afuera sin ti no tengo paz
Yo solo soy un hombre muy arrepentido

Soy como el ave que vuelve a su nido
Yo se que no he sido un santo
Es que no estoy echo de carton”

Just a little something that reminds me of home *sniffles*

gift2 How to: Help a Job Seeker Out [HAJSO]

via WeHeartIt.com

It’s no secret that I was on a job hunt, nor is it a secret that I was hired and am I’m happily employed, working for a company I’ve always wanted to be apart of. :)

But the road wasn’t easy and sometimes the people who are in, what we think, are the best positions to help us, can’t really be of service.

A few weeks ago, an e-mail popped up in my inbox with a proposal to review this book for submission. It wasn’t an uncommon occurrence, but it has been a while since we at the LPB have accepted a submission for review. As you readers probably already know, there have been all sorts of changes going on for Sasha. I’ve been unusually quiet here for similar reasons. Writing my own book, finishing a book that I was hired to write, consulting, and being a mom has left me with little time to read – or at least to read as much as usual. I’ve been re-reading favorites so that I wouldn’t be annoyed with the interruptions. I’m the type that likes to sit down and devour a book, so having to stop in the midst of my savoring the text annoys the living daylights out of me.

But, here was this opportunity to read something that seemed lighthearted. I could see that this wasn’t going to be a Not That Kind of Girl or Locust and the Bird.
