Ok, so I didn’t fully watch the BET Awards show – that’s because I was sucked into the realms of “True Blood”…(love that show). But when I did tune in for a short spell…Jay-Z rocked the mic with his “Death Of The Autotune” song. I did catch a quick glimpse of Soulja Boy…turning his swag on, then a usual (like with any award show) I normally change the channel. And you ladies know that we are more concerned with what some of our favorite celebrities were rocking out on the red carpet. Let’s face it….some times the BET award show brings out the buffoonery. And the one thing that will ALWAYS manage to throw me in for a loop – is to see celebrities (who indeed have some cash to burn) waste away in mortifying ensembles. It’s the kind of thing that makes you want to throw up the “bitch …

I don’t normally post sales on TrendDoll – but I am going to have to start making it a serious habit! I guess that my whirlwind of chores & upcoming preparations (which I can’t wait to share with you guys next month) have thrown my brain back a few miles away. But before I ramble on till the point of no return let me just tell you that today will be the American Apparel Factory Flea Market – which I think that I am going to hit up today! Prices start at $2 and nothing goes over $25….YES! So you know what that means…pop your metro card in your wallet – and shuffle downtown! You might see me there, running around like a crazy woman on the scene. Check out the full stats after the jump!

In continuation with this weekends tribute, I’ve gathered a few images to view Michael Jackson’s life in the public eye. Many of the pictures do show his gradual transformation, from rocking a super tight afro, then onto sporting his trade mark embellished jackets & ensembles. Either way, Michael Jackson has always been on of those celebrities that we can’t seem to take our eyes way from. Check out the retrospective in pictures after the jump.

I can’t front….I’ve been under the weather since Thursday! This Michael Jackson death has gotten to me harder than I expected. I don’t know why…but it has! Just sitting back and going through hundreds of flicks…I’ve watched his entire transformation from the 80′s till now. And seeing as though I am an 80′s baby, I feel like a chunk of my childhood has gone into the abyss. I’ll be the first to say that I’ve been balling my eyes out while listening to his music (especially Earth Song). His life/and career was no cake walk….and while his life will always be in heavy debate amongst my peers – I must say that I am totally ANGRY & UPSET that he is gone! Death is apart of our life cycle, and I might sound like a basket case right now…but I feel that everyone on the web has been hypocritical …

Let me just say that I am floored and extremely sadden by today’s news. I took a early afternoon nap, only to wake up and see my blackberry lit up with emails of Michael Jackson being dead. I didn’t believe it. Bad enough I was some what upset about Farrah Fawcett’s passing, but to hear Michael Jackson being gone made it worse. I grabbed my remote control to see the news reports… and I ended up on MTV to see that the news was indeed true. Despite years of public scrutiny and allegations given to him in the past, this man will always be a musical legend….and I seriously doubt if anyone will EVER fill MJ’s shoes! According to reports, Jackson suffered cardiac arrest early Thursday afternoon and paramedics were unable to revive him. When the paramedics arrived to his home, Jackson had no pulse and were never …
