Toya Carter’s bachelorette party

My favorite cocoa girl had her bachelorette party. I am posting a few of her looks from her party. Toya, is always looking fab!

     I love the chunky necklace with the short white dress.

 

 The off the shoulder dress is definitely classy yet sexy. I love her pumps!

 

Congrats Toya!

Would you wear this for graduation?

Graduation season can be a stressful time –hair, make-up, pumps and dresses.

In 2011, I am utterly appalled that California rappers think penning a re-make of Dre’s “B*tches Ain’t Sh*t” is appropriate for my generation.

I believe that Y.G., Nipsey Hussle and Tyga are going along with the GOP’s white male agenda for dismissing women as inferior. The song comes at a time when our government is making big cuts to Planned Parenthood, education and welfare.
