Just Me & My Hair

Hello All my name is Francesca,
I have enjoyed my Sisterlocks ride since July 07 & am looking forward to all that my locks will turn into ;0) I went natural because I NEEDED a healthily change for my hair. Before going natural I have used chemicals from age 12-33. NO MORE with a SMILE.

I am enjoying my life as a Wife & a Mom, quality time w/ my husband, daughter, family & friends. I am getting my personal health/weight under control w/ honest Healthy Living. I am staying activity by meeting new friends & re-connecting w/ honest friends who are looking to do the same with me.

"SMOOCHES"

Early Fall in Wisconsin

The morning after a rainy night is a great time to take pictures.

Chris Rock on Oprah

I wish I could be home in time to see this.

I am very interested to see how it goes down....

I just saw this and wondered what you all think....

"Unlike Black Barbies of yesterday that appeared to have more Anglo facial features and hair texture, S.I.S. vary in complexion, coiffs and physical attributes with fuller lips, distinct cheek bones and wider noses.The dolls which range in price from about $8 to $25 features fashion forward BFFs Grace, Kara and Trichelle who are all about having a good time, but not before sharing their wisdom with the next generation. In the spirit of mentorship, McBride-Irby created a "little sister" for each of the dolls with diverse interests including music, math and science. Each doll's hair can be styled with the help of new Auqa curl technology which allows them to go from straight to curly with a spritz of a water bottle and hairstyling tools." for the whole article click here on Essence.com

These cookies were designed using this business card logo. I outlined the drawing on the cookies with an edible ink marker and then went over it with icing. The quote above the mouse's head says "What goes around, comes around" and the mouse is using a little man as the computer mouse. Cute!
Of course, if I had an edible ink printer I'd be able to get a lot more detail on the cookies but doing it by hand is so much more fun!

It was gumballs!!!

Big HIGH FIVE to Jill Johnson and Julie Jackson. The book release party for "Glamourpuss... The Enchanting World of Kitty Wigs" at Shampoo was a raging success! The Meow Mix Girls mixed it up with candy and sparklers while Mr. Kitty Wig directed the madness towards the dancefloor where the cats fought it out till the wee hours of the night. Shampoo's walls were graced with lovely photos from the book... there still hanging so... stop by and be a part of the kitty wig phenomenon.
thanks so much for the purr-fect photos by Milton David.

Random photos - a lot of Wongsie being disgraceful

WJust realised I got a collection of photos!! No theme, just pics.

Here's a shaggy-looking Pumpkin getting her head stuck in an Ikea plastic bag while watching me pack clothes in the new house!

Looking ridiculously cute as she struggles to get out. I'm not helping her, she has to learn to be independent!

Little menace got out and started to mess up my piles of neatly folded apparel.

Dinner with Lewis and Eekean at Newton before we go watch H is for Hantu. Shengrong was late!

And check out Lewis's mad-huge SLR!

Om nom nom.....

Wongsie loves freaking parsley ok! The evidence on her plate as she chows Lewis's orh lua's parsley!! Gross to the max.

My cousin's daughter Chloe sitting in an Ikea swing. Gorgeous colours!





Dinner with Mike



At our favourite restaurant



My crabmeat linguine... Would kill for a plate now!



Mike's seafood pasta... Not as fab as mine!



New wallet!! So chio!!

Here's Nanolove, the fattest, laziest hammie puff ever! This is her default position. Lying on her back and snoozing!

I took this shot because she was actually EATING in her sleep. That's right! She regurgitated a seed from her cheek pouch, and was chewing on it!

All while being plopped on her back and eyes closed!

Greediest hammie EVER.

At my friend's pool. Fallen flowers look so gorgeous!





I love tanning!

Check it out! Fucking hilarious! My friend's mom found these saucy pics in their maid's drawer and fired her.

Apparently she keeps going missing during the night and THIS is what she has been up to - some pole-dancing competition or something!!

Complete with total sleazebag taking a video of her somemore.

Hmmm... The video must be SOMEWHERE!


I shall search youtube for "Gremlin-looking woman dancing sluttily in leopard prints." **


Alas. No such result.


(I will NOT succumb to making low-brow Ris Low jokes!)

Sexay!

Supper with Rozz at 126. We planned for pigging out dim sum, then on to DURIANS! I was so happy that day.

Sharing the century porridge...



Love in a bowl



Rozz's fav: Tender beef strips with a touch of lime.
MmmMmmm



Deep-fried yam puffs!!



Crispy on the outside, wet, soft and gooey on the inside.

The yam mixed with hot char siew is fab.



Here's Rozz blowing away at the food coz she says smoke makes her photos ugly.



My absolute favourite there: Garlic steamed prawns!
So simple yet SOOOO yums.



Chee cheong fun!


And onwards to durians:






There's Rozz snapping a pic of the young durian seller with his goods. -_-



He loves it!

How can anyone not love this? Creamy, sweet, melts in your mouth... I don't see how the smell is pungent either!!

The closest thing to durians I can think of is Creme Brulee - which everyone loves!!

Anyway I have a new pact with Mike. He can never again cook parsley at home, and I can never again bring durians home.

Very sad right? But worth it for no parsley smells at home again, ever!

Happy!

Another pic at the pool - found this cute little dinosaur toy!!

I gave it to a cute little girl at the pool but I'm a bit sad coz I really like the dino!! :(

Safra Mount Faber and a bit of SR's ass.



Me!



Centipede we saw...

Afterwards, dinner with the rest of them...

Only took one picture: Here's eekean glaring at something Lewis said while he nonchalantly continues eating.

Dinner with Alyssa (who wants to remain anonymous. Bleah.) and BFF.



What's with friends wearing fedoras nowadays?

Had dinner with Eekean again and the restaurant was closing, so they gave us two bowls of peanut cream dessert...

Eekean pointed to the bowl of spring onions I took out from the fish dish, and told us to dare her to put the peanut paste into the bowl and eat it!


So I said, "Ok lor, I'd give you 1 dollar if you eat that."


And she said "On!"

Gross can? It may not be very gross to most people but I HATE spring onions. So...



Can tell she's loving it.



Urgh!! Eating with gusto!


Finished.


And the end result, she gets..........

Change! Not even a dollar coin lor!! WTF.

She happily took the money.



Here's my nails, sponsored by Celab Nails!

Gorgeous, right?



Happy! My nails before the manicure was atrocious.

More of Eekean's disgracefulness, as promised:





Never will I ever eat squid ink pasta again.



One more pic from the LG advert...



At the live TV and web interview for Blog TV!

The topic for that day was Plastic Surgery and they invited Dr. Martin Huang and Rozz and me!!

It was like a Girls Out Loud reunion!!

Hosts were Flying Dutchman (anyone knows his real name at all??!) and Phin.

It was pretty fun. Dr Huang is so funny!

They gave him a picture of the Flying Dutchman and asked him to circle where he should get plastic surgery.

You'd think that most people would be polite and circle one or two areas, but the whole picture was full of red circles!

Damn funny lah!

The hosts totally took it in stride though.

Anyway I was informed that BlogTV has gone on for 4 seasons and this is the first time I've agreed to do an interview with them despite being asked several times before.

I didn't even realise lor!

The last time they asked was quite some time ago, and the reason why I rejected them was coz I was STILL pissed with fucking Lin Xue Ling!!

Hahahaha!

I don't forgive and forget easily. Took me 3 years!

Lin Xue Ling, huh? Where are you now, bitch?


(Ok fine her LinkedIn profile says she is still working for Mediacorp as a presenter/producer. Still!)

With Rozzie who's donning on a damn chio Adidas jacket.



:D


That's all for now!

I'm preparing my Nomination speech post so be patient! Will take photos tonight, probably published by tomorrow.

(Yes I said tonight and it's 3.15am. Terrible.)

Meanwhile remember to vote!!

Thank you! Totally appreciate it! :D
