Hey Lovers,

Tuesday night gave us the premiere of Catfish MTV Season 2. We met Cassandra who thought she was in love with an aspiring rapper named Steve from Atlanta. 

The first question I have for this season is, where were these people season 1? Did they not watch season and do their Google image search? I was sure that after Season 1 and Manti Teo, “catfish” the verb would be a thing of the past. Cassandra proved me wrong. 

For those of you who did not watch, log off now because the rest of this may be a spoiler and I don’t want you to say I didn’t warn you.

At first, I was distracted by Cassandra’s awful wig but as she began to tell her story I realized Cassandra’s issues are bigger than a horrible synthetic wig. Any time you start an email with “I need you to help me meet my fiancee,” there is a problem to say the least.

I’m no geographer but last I checked Florida and Atlanta are not that far a part. You mean to tell me that in 2 years the fact you never met your online lover in person isn’t alarming? 

Let’s fast forward to the big reveal. As you probably guessed, “Steve” wasn’t who he said he was. Not only was “Steve” not the person who Cassie thought he was, “Steve” was actually Cassie’s best friend, Gladys, and her cousin. According to Gladys she developed this fake guy for Cassie because Cassie turned into a big hot mess after her dad got murdered in Haiti. In order to fully perpetrate the fraud, Gladys enlisted her male cousin to have phone sex with Cassie, as Steve. Has Gladys never heard of an intervention? It really did look like Gladys wanted the best for her friend but I’m confused as to how luring her into a fake online relationship was a good idea. It does sound like Cassie made her vagina less friendly as a result of  her relationship with “Steve” which is good. However she is no longer close Gladys; that said, I’m wondering if it’s worth it. You stopped your friend from being a buss down but now you’ve lost your friend. 

Overall, this episode was crazy enough to make me want to see more so, I will be tuning in next week.

Lil Poopy, big problem?

Lil Poopy

 

Hey Lovers, 

Have you heard about this kid from Massachusetts calling himself Lil Poopy? If you haven’t watch the video. Apparently Lil Poopy is signed to French I don’t know any of his songs Montana. Long story short, the authorities got wind of Lil Poopy’s hood stardom and his father is being investigated by the child protection authorities. Read more of the details at: http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/lil-poopy-raps-latest-kid-sensation-da-club/story?id=19432255

Bow Wow was a child rapper. I don’t really know how well that’s working out for him since he used to perform on 106 & Park and now he seems to have the hosting job no one wants. I vaguely remember Lil Romeo’s “rap” career. Do I see it for Lil Poopy? Not really. But the person for whom I really do NOT see it is French Montana. Isn’t he signed to P. I’m the only one who makes money on Bad Boy Diddy? Since I’d lose a $1 million bet to name a French Montana song I think his priorities are sideways. Out of this whole story I think I’m the most mad at these ratchet borderline child molesting women. How poorly is your life going that you have to twerk for an elementary school student? And I’m sure half of those hoes have kids older than Lil Poopy.

While we’re on the subject, can we admit that every combination of words isn’t going to become a “thing,” ad lib, catch phrase, etc? “Coke isn’t a bad word,” is almost as bad as the ghetto girl from BBW trying to start “shimmer.” While everyone wants to say they thought of the next “It’s Barbie Bitch,” the phrase actually has to be catchy. Remember, catchphrase isn’t a misnomer. I digress. 

All in all I think Lil Poopy could turn out to be fine or we could see him on Locked Up Boston in 7 years because clearly no one with good sense is in charge of him. 

What do you think of Lil Poopy? Too cute or too much? Comment below and let me know! 

Instagrumble

Instagram

 

Hey Lovers, 

Now that Instagram has added videos I am guessing it will get even more popular than it already is. There are few issues I have related to Instagram. Well, my issues are not with the app itself, my issues are with the way people use it. Let’s discuss!

Hashtags

Hashtags are fine but they should be used judiciously. Can you really take a caption seriously if #every #word #is #hashtagged? See what I mean? Super long hashtags are another thing I could certainly live without. #TheresNoReasonWhyAllThisNeedsToBeOneHashtag

Selfies 

When it comes to selfies less is really more. If you think about it, at some point a daily selfie transforms from a few cute pictures to an age progression. While we’re on the topic of selfies, let’s add daily pictures of children. Your kids don’t change that much from day to day. I don’t need daily pictures of them. 

Tweetgrams

If I wanted to read your Tweets, there’s a place for me to do that; it’s called Twitter.

Shout Outs

This is something I really do not understand. Just because someone liked 5 of your pictures, they get a shout out? Not only that, am I supposed to like a picture that’s about how many times someone else liked your pictures? 

Private Pictures 

While most of us follow and are followed by family members some pictures really are not suitable for all of your 500 followers. I just cannot understand why people feel the need to Instagram a loved one’s casket. I cannot be the only one who thinks things like this are in poor taste.

These are just 5 of the things that annoy me the most on Instagram. What annoys you on Instagram? Comment below and let me know!

Love & Ho Hop Atlanta

Posted in Reality TV, VH1 by

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta

Hey Lovers, 

I know it’s been awhile but my job has me working like they don’t know indentured servitude is over. Let’s discuss tonight’s Love & Hip Hop Atlanta.

  • Stevie & Joseline: According to Media Takeout the couple married last week. I guess nothing says forever like your man accusing you of being a former prostitute. Am I the only one who thinks Stevie J cross dresses in secret? All of his outfits look like costumes. Sidenote, aren’t Joseline’s weaves winning this season? 
  • Mimi: You MADE a mistake with this tired ass clothing line. Are we really surprised that Nikko didn’t really put her in his roommate’s video? I’m not interested in learning anything else about Mimi; other than who does her makeup. Mimi should ask Joseline about how to demand her respect.  
  • Rasheeda & Ms. Kirk: Rasheeda’s weave was laid in her glitter top interview package. Maybe she should start a hair company because music doesn’t seem to be for her. Can you name a Rasheeda song? I certainly cannot. As for Ms. Kirk meeting with Rasheeda’s mama what’s the point? Trifling is just trifling. Did y’all peep Ms. Shirline? She looked like she was ready to buss Kirk’s head with that broom stick. 
  • Benzino: Besides the fact that his head and shoulders seem to be mismatched Benzino doesn’t seem to be so terrible.  I’m actually starting to like Bobble Head.
  • K. Michelle: What was that toast? Safe sex, pay checks & learning to give great BJ’s. . .Shouldn’t you have all 3 of those under control by now? I can’t even discuss that climb over the gate comment but I’ve never heard such trash. 
  • Karlie Redd should’ve kept that weave for herself. And anyway, what kinda weave can you do with 1 bundle? Bye Karlie Redd and the red latex dress.  

Did you miss Scrappy & Shay or Baby Bop & the Red Bone? I didn’t either. I don’t know what was worse. Nikko’s rapping or his video. I hope he has a day job. Maybe he doesn’t and that’s why he needs a roommate when he’s clearly near 40. By the way, how is Stevie J giving Mimi a BMW when he’s still on the bus?
