Kimye are on the scene causing an even bigger scene! House hunting in Miami to be exact! The lovely couple was spotted strolling through various parts of the city, checking out very promising real estate.
Kimye has been under the microscope since they went public with their relationship. Media and public opinion has not stopped them, and it appears they have no intentions of slowing down! Them house hunting is pretty much a stamp that seals the deal on their relationship. I can ask what will it take for them to be accepted as a couple, but it's clear they don't care about opinions.
It appears that Kimye found refuge and love in each other and that's all that matters/ (Plus, their fashion sense as a couple is impeccable...Yezzy taught me!) Congrats are due to Kimye!
Stop the track! Let me state facts! I told you give me a minute and I'll be right back!
The Carters really know how to make time stop in its tracks! This year definitely belongs to Queen Bey and HOV. With the arrival of the lovely Miss Blue Ivy Carter, they seem to be unstoppable and
untouchable.
This summer, Bey laid out the blueprint on balancing a career and motherhood. Not only was she in the studio working on her fifth album, but prepared and served her fans with an ultimate dosage of Beyonce', or shall we say, "SASHA FIERCE". Four nights of sold out performances at the multi-billion dollar casino, Revel, in Atlantic City, New Jersey proved that Bey had not lost her touch with the public and the stage. (By the way, Peep the ring! )
This was also a major summer for her husband, Jay-Z. Being a father did not slow him down from being a mega-mogul and phenomenal entertainer. He, alongside well-known rapper, Kanye West released a genius studio project: Watch the Throne. Not only did they release a platinum selling album, they also embarked on a tour that banked more than $48 million, ranking it the highest-grossing hip-hop tour of all time.
You'd think that was enough for the year right?! WRONG!
On October 5th, Jay-Z concluded his concert at the sold out Brooklyn Barclays Center with a beautiful surprise. His lovely wife, Queen Bey, stunned fans by performing favorites like the ladies' anthem "Diva" and the sexy "Crazy In Love". After receiving a nice tap on her derriere from her honey, Bey left the stage, and Jay finished the concert strong. Before departing from their fans, the couple took to the stage for the final song "Young Forever" where Bey sang the background vocals.
Not only are the Carters dedicated to their careers, but their support for one another proves they're dedicated to their relationship.
The phrase "Hoes are Winning" has taken society by storm, especially urban culture! The term "Hoe" has been used to describe almost every type of woman, from the "Stripper Hoe" to the "Classy, Sassy, & slightly Smart-Assy Hoe"...Every woman has done something that falls into SOMEONE'S definition of a "Hoe".
However, there are women who have acquired the title "Hoe" by the way they entered into the entertainment industry or acquired FAME, whether it's through their affiliations or their past professions. Former stripper, Amber Rose is synonymous with the word, hoe; reality TV personality Kim Kardashian is also heavily affiliated with the word hoe... but why? Do we know enough about those women to give them the "Hoe Crown"? We as a society, we have this thing we do... We pass judgement on surface situations. People see strippers, label them as hoes because they get naked for money, THEN get salty when someone in the entertainment industry decides to date them... Why are YOU mad?!
I'll probably get slaughtered for this but what makes them different from someone that went to college? Networking has no designated area. Let's take Amber Rose for example, she grew up in South Philly and was raised by a single mother who worked as a waitress to support her family. After falling into financial hardships, Amber and her mother became homeless. At the tender age of 15, she began stripping at the very prominent Sue's Rendezvous in New York under the alias "Paris. Not PROSTITUTING, but STRIPPING. Amber Rose has stated "I would dance; I would make my money, and then go home and pay bills." She then met Kanye West (who pursued her) and is now engaged to and [possibly] pregnant for rapper Wiz Khalifa. In the few short years it took Amber to acquire fame, she has appeared in numerous videos as the leading lady, been the spokesperson for Smirnoff Vodka, walked the runways of London, Paris, and New York, began a music career, launched an eyewear line, and so much more!
We all start from different beginnings, and its the people we encounter, places we go, etc. that help determine our success. How can you blame a person for networking opportunities that were presented to them? How can you judge a person's beginnings and sling mud over their triumphs? In all of this, she has been tied to a strip club, two rappers, and an insane hustle. Whether she had to make ends meet as a stripper or not should not define her as a person. She has maintained her status as a celebrity on her own! She has her own deals, endorsements, and endeavors.
Kim Kardashian is another one that definitely gets crucified for her choices. Although Kimmy is connected to multiple people in the entertainment industry, her accomplishments are rarely a table talk topic. We are more concerned about who has been with her, physically and sexually, yet it's very rare that Kim receives praise on her business savvy. The public tends to think the people are talentless because they can't sing, act, or play a sport. No, those are not any of her strong points, BUT no one can take credit away from her as a business woman. Kim Kardashian's net worth is $38 million, and that's money she made of of her own projects (reality television, perfumes, clothing lines, endorsements, etc). Although she was born to high profile attorney (Robert Kardashian), Kim has created opportunities for herself to maintain her lifestyle and her status. Kim Kardashian is now connected to rapper Kanye West (what a coincidence!) and it appears as though they both found happiness.
But why is that not enough for us? Why must we, as a society, pick apart those who've taken different avenues to reach success? The media digs into people's pasts to give us something to talk about and we just run with it. Strippers are hoes, Socialites are hoes, yet you slept with someone last and now you have rent money... but you're not in that category, right?? Women can't scream "Hoes Are Winning" when their behavior mirrors that of the women on Sunset Boulevard... I'm not here to judge though...
No one can blame either of these women for who they were able to meet through their affiliations; as a woman, I commend them on their ambition and determination to succeed and open doors for themselves. If people stayed from between Amber and Kim's legs and got inside their heads, then MAYBE success will come knocking at their door too!
