Where the "HELL" are they now?!...Dave Chappelle







Claim To Fame: This comedian
became widely known for his popular sketch comedy television series, Chappelle's Show.


Info: With aspirations to become a comedian, Dave Chappelle moved to New York City and quickly made a name for himself in the New York comedy circuit. At the age of 20, Chappelle made his film debut as "Ahchoo" in Mel Brooks's Robin Hood: Men in Tights.

He made appearances in The Nutty Professor, Con Air, and Martin Lawrence's Blue Streak.However, it wasn't until the debut of his weekly sketch comedy show on Comedy Central called Chappelle's Show in 2003 that Chappelle really began to achieve fame. With his social and political commentary, along with comedy skits parodying many aspects of American culture, the show soon became a critical and commercial success. Chappelle received two Emmy nominations for the show, and the DVD set became the best-selling DVD of a television show to date. In 2005, Chappelle shocked fans and the entertainment industry when he abruptly left during production of season three, mysteriously taking off to South Africa. He later denied any drug or mental problems but stated that his reasons for visiting South Africa were to reflect on his life and career.


Where Is He Now: Since his departure from the show, Chappelle performed impromptu stand-up shows in Los Angeles, went on a tour, and made a surprise appearance on HBO's Def Poetry where he performed two poems. In an interview for Inside the Actors Studio in 2005, he stated that the death of his father in 1998 had an impact on his decision to go to South Africa.Chappelle again appeared on Inside the Actors Studio and in celebration of the show's 200th episode, he humorously interviewed the show's usual host, James Lipton. The episode aired on November 10, 2008. He currently lives with his wife Elaine and two sons on a 65-acre farm just outside Yellow Springs, Ohio.
*Where the heezy are ya Dave?! Comedy needs ya...fortunately, I had the pleasure in meeting him...super cool guy!!




Fashion: Diary of a Leggings Junkie!!!



New Fall leggings are out....Yay, me likey!!!!

Me plus sexy Leggings, plus Doc Marten boots equals a HAPPY Lolly:)

Thursday's Quote:

"Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death.

New Music Leak: Lupe Fiasco "Fire"....DOPE!

Morning giggles: Good looking Tiff for reminding me how HILARIOUS Martin was. One of my fav clips, LMAO....

Fashion: My Doc Marten fix......




So, I am thinking about getting my Doc Marten on. These boots were really big in the early 90's...artists such as TLC brought them back when they dropped their 1st album. Will Smith also rocked them pretty tough in the early episodes of Fresh Prince. They are definitely making a come back. They look great with a pair of leggings or skinny jeans, depending on how you want to swag it out. Classic style with a twist of grunge to it...love it!!! I just might have to get me a pair:)

My Life: Random....reppin my baby's state!

I may be a New York Girl @ heart....but always had a weakness 4 southern boys:)

Throwback: Billy Joel "Just the way you are"- This world would be a better place if people would just love you flaws & all!!!



I LOVE THIS SONG....THE WORDS ARE SO POWERFUL-ALWAYS A CLASSIC! I am a firm believer in loving folks as they are...just wish at times people would do the same:)....

Wednesday's Quote:

Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.

Random: No words....just wow!!!

My Life: I was in one of my poetic moods & decided 2 drop this poem on ya'll that I wrote:



Dream Killers


As my finger tips touch the clouds I think 2 myself…"damn they are so soft"
Skies the limit is the song that's playing in my head as the haters talk
I continue to reach even when people don't believe in me
Underestimating is the fuel that I need to prevent me from being weak
It cuts like a knife when the ones you love doubt you
Your suppose to be on my team not cheer for my enemy who's ready to aim and shoot
Dream on is what I do….Dream on is how I choose….2 live
The life I want is not impossible when I have so much 2 give
I am getting to the point where I'm so close….I feel so fly & so damn high
Interrupting my positive flow, that's when the dream killers start to arrive
Why the hell are you here dream killers? Is what I ask….
I love who I am, flaws and all, driven, beautiful, smart & not 2 mention I believe I even have a nice ass:)
All jokes aside….Don't wreck my flow…don't cut in on my dance
U may not have the same views as me but just love, support and respect me as I am
I see the world differently….try to look 2 at it through my eyes
Dream killers…won't you try approaching life my way…maybe then you'll finally feel alive.
I love the beat I walk to because it's all mine
Let me catch a rhythm to my own song as I stay on my grind…..goodbye dream killers goodbye…..


By, L

*I'm fighting them off mommy!!!

Art: "DON'T JUDGE ME"...............


I fell in love with this black and white photo when I 1st saw it. It was given to me by my homegirl last year. It says so much.......

For the grown & sexy: Position of the day is the "Arc de Triomph"

Erotic Instructions:
Have your man sit on the bed with his legs extended in front of him. Crawl up to him on your knees and straddle him, lowering yourself onto his erect penis. Once you’re comfortable, arch into a back bend — but be careful not to strain your lower back. Rest your head between his legs on the bed and reach your hands back to grab hold of his ankles or feet. That’s when he leans forward and the fun begins.

Why You'll Love It:
For those who are limber enough to last for even a few moments, the payoff is incredible. Throw your head back, close your eyes, and totally let go, because this position will connect you two like no other. Use his legs to brace yourself and add more oomph when you thrust. After this, your man will bend over backward for another all-out sexy panorama of your naked body in his hands.

*Hint:For a little extra support, place his hands so they grip you firmly underneath your lower back. To bring you two even closer together, ask him to slowly lean down and kiss your chest, carefully pulling your stomach up toward him in the process.

Afternoon giggles: Just when I was thinking that this had to be a big joke......



*I was slapped in the face with a dose of reality...and discovered that they are VERY serious about their music career. YIKES, with that being said here is a song by the "Stallionaires" entitled "Does she love me"....OOOHHHH LLLAAAWWWDDDD!!
