Mary J. Blige is spreading her wings

Queen of Hip Hop, Mary J. Blige is stepping out of her comfort zone, and headed to the fashion district. She is making plans to start her own clothing line. As you may know she has partnered with Carol’s Daughter to develop the creation of “My Life” fragrance which was inspired by her 1994 album that has the same title. Mary has shared with Women’s Wear Daily that she will begin her range by designing shoes and boots, and later aims to release “great-fitting jeans.”

Before yesterday morning I only knew Debbie through her 2Summers comments, and on Facebook. Now Debbie is a friend. This is why I love blogging.

Jon graduated (or "matriculated", as they say here) from St.

YyyYAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaWWWWWWN...

I love this track, it's perfect for first thing in the morning.
