So like any animal ; p the gentleman pursues the woman, whether hes attracted to her appearance or charm there is some form of attraction and there is something he sees in her he wants so from this day forth he courts her....<br /><br />Ok so depending on the dude, him and the female may go on dates or spend time together doing something interesting so that they may both get to know each other, but most dudes dont really try to get to KNOW the lady they do just enough to get by. Most women are complete suckas for attention so the simplest of the gentlemans attempts win the woman over. During this time he realizes there are some definite pros and a few cons when it comes to his new beau.<br /><br />As time goes on, the woman becomes more and more used to the guy, and the guy, whether hes commited to being her guy or not believes he can place stipulations on her, and since the lady is so interested in the guy, she allows him (this is like some vodoo ish I swear!!!). For instance, I like to go out A LOT ive dealt with guys who have had a problem with it so to be kind I slowed down or went out of town to make it seem like I wasnt going out, they were none the wiser. And by doing so I gave him, sort of what he wanted, to make him happy, to shut him up. However, it is at this point that the problem occurs.<br /><br />So now, the dude figures he has the female where he wants her to be, doing what he wants her to do, and he is content. However, that spunky, happy, fun filled, good looking woman is not the same person that the dude met, she has changed or rather they way the guy looks at her has changed. So now he goes out, meets other girls, and/or continues to talk to the same old ones, looking for something he already has and probably has had before but to no avail he can not find it. Why is this? Because men are the ones who... changed the dynamics of the relationship. As much as women want to change men, or at least be responsible for them changing, they cant so eventually they give up. But dudes try to change women and women let them or at least the women lead them to believe that they have changed.<br /><br />Ok now, the relationship/situatuion is over. The girl is back to her old self, looking good, and maybe the dude sees her out at the club or he thinks about her and he calls her, the lady is completely over any offerings the gentleman has for her because everything he is now so willing to do, she was doing for him before but he didnt realize what he had. So now we have the classic tale of where the script is flipped. The dude might hear another dude has intentions to pursue the lady and now he thinks "hey thats my old chick, I can get her back with no problem" but what he doesnt remember is that he let her go and when he did that she left and so did any intentions of them ever being anything more.<br /><br />Why do I know this story so well? Because the majority of my closest friends are females and Ive seen it happen to them and most importantly Ive been through it. And what I learned from it is there are going to be kinks and youve got to work them out, if it is meant to be it will be and you should never feel like you have to change someone, or change yourself for someone, they liked everything about you when they met you whether they realized it or not...<br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center">Thanks for reading...</div>The Elevated Fashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06851139916464961086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-794737972048703576.post-64990652307090862262010-09-14T22:17:00.002-04:002010-09-14T22:22:39.611-04:00The September IssueSeptember came too fast this year for some reason...if I could trade in a year for another I would definitely give this one back!!!

Despite her publicized love quarrel with then beau Chris Brown, Rihanna hadn't mad a name for herself. She was simply Jay Z's new artist, or Chris Browns girlfriend, she was never her own person...<span style="font-style: italic;">until now. </span><br /><br />The songstress has advanced in her music career as a pop princess overnight with the release of her new album <span style="font-weight: bold;">Rated R</span> and has showed us another side we've never seen before. From her provocative tracks (<span style="font-style: italic;">Rude Boy</span>) to her revealing yet fashionable outfits shes not the same Ri Ri we knew before. Before, Rihanna was a simple, down to Earth "Pink" sweat suit wearing girl. However, post Brown you might catch the songstress prancing around town in all the shoes that Giuseppe made. Perhaps she took the concept of Good Girl Gone bad too far. I never considered Rihanna as a style source but she has this ability to transform through many looks: glam, rock, chic, grunge, hobo, and she looks good in almost every last one of them. Which brings us to the cover of <span style="font-weight: bold;">W</span> magazine, in this Febuary issue Rihanna brings us to the place she was in last year and how she coped with it all...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><a style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);" href="http://www.wmagazine.com/celebrities/2010/02/rihanna"><span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">“Not talking was a big thing for me,” says Rihanna</span></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">But just because Rihanna wasnt talking it does not mean that she didnt have anything to say...</span></span>she let her tattoos say it for her with her, 13th tattoo which<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);" href="http://www.wmagazine.com/celebrities/2010/02/rihanna"> </a><span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);font-size:130%;" ><a style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);" href="http://www.wmagazine.com/celebrities/2010/02/rihanna">"reads 'never a failure, always a lesson', but backward so she can read it when she looks in the mirror. “I’m glad I didn’t talk to people, because I was able to deal with things in my own way, without saying the wrong things or giving people the wrong impression.” </a><br /></span></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">Once a good girls gone bad shes gone forever : )</span><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_vRpT6ekhoNv028bt5Oj05O48ldao7ISDfRsKRsVjPXC0p8GbqCD03dsBh6I1rADBQQwiQ_dW2rKfXAvTS5uKb0Kl405jZ5HYInjBXRa5uIJlCfHTB8adCAE3cBR4JJ9qCcnsUBDx7dSP/s1600-h/rw1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 237px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_vRpT6ekhoNv028bt5Oj05O48ldao7ISDfRsKRsVjPXC0p8GbqCD03dsBh6I1rADBQQwiQ_dW2rKfXAvTS5uKb0Kl405jZ5HYInjBXRa5uIJlCfHTB8adCAE3cBR4JJ9qCcnsUBDx7dSP/s320/rw1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429319107806606642" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>The Elevated Fashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06851139916464961086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-794737972048703576.post-78216256897275761282009-12-01T15:18:00.004-05:002009-12-01T15:37:47.555-05:00Our Bottoms are Red lets follow suit, GO RED<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioFbUE7cTxOZTMSjFhj6oU5R7Q2Jly2ec3RDPu1aIUezGBxqLfkq47wc_8qZYCdLCoZvjSSS7fbpXlL4j-AxPeFudty5Zr79h6ZtCq5NufG1clBZOYli6RqQsd4-UqQaS0wbtBGUrPKF9I/s1600/347px-World_Aids_Day_Ribbon.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 186px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioFbUE7cTxOZTMSjFhj6oU5R7Q2Jly2ec3RDPu1aIUezGBxqLfkq47wc_8qZYCdLCoZvjSSS7fbpXlL4j-AxPeFudty5Zr79h6ZtCq5NufG1clBZOYli6RqQsd4-UqQaS0wbtBGUrPKF9I/s320/347px-World_Aids_Day_Ribbon.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410369667268167778" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Today marks the 20th World Aids Day.
