NEW UPTOWN SPOT !!!!!!

El Blog de hoy.

I was checking out my friend's online resume. If you don't know , I am Dominican and I love visiting DR. I cry when I have to get on the plane to come back home . I recently went to Miami for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I fell in love. It did remind me of DR and again I had to wear my shades coming back home. This is why I chose this blog entry: Santo Domingo the New Miami?

TONIGHT !

NIIIIIIICE !

Let's support DOMESTIC VIOLENCE... (BARF). Come on people ! Domestic Violence is not a joke ... People try to make money out of anything. I am down for supporting up and coming designers but I am not down for supporting domestic violence. I have a mom,a grandmother, I have sisters, and I am a woman. Put your priorities first. Money shouldn't be it.

What makes a good friend ?

This topic came up twice today. Once with my college friend and then of course Diddy brought it up on Twitter. 140 characters was not enough. There are so many reasons some of my friends are my FRIENDS (as in not phony) :

A friend cries on the phone with you after a drunk night.
A friend lets you cry at a strip club and does not feel embarrassed.
A friend takes you on tour with her and her band.
A friend calls you ASAP from another country when they know you need them.
A friend rocks all of the pieces you have created.
A friend reads your blog and then twitters you to give you her thoughts.
A friend knows what you are passionate about and does not try to be passionate about it just because you are.
A friend let's you talk and talk when you need to talk and talk.
A friend does not judge you for anything you say or do.
A friend lets you know about opportunities when opportunity knocks on their door and they know you'll be great for it.
A friend is ready to take her shoe off and poke the bitch thats trying to fight her best friend's boyfriend.
A friend knows when you are not feeling 100%.
A friend can get into the worst argument with you but gets over it the next day.
A friend does not flirt with someone you're dating.
A friend can laugh an eternity with you at some of the events that have occurred while being in the company of each other.
A friend does not have to find the need to flirt with you or try anything while you're sleeping next to him.
A friend lets you be honest with them , even if the truth hurts.
A friend lets you have 7 shots of Patron or 5 margaritas when your heart is broken and then holds your hair back when you get sick.
A friend puts you on check .
A friend makes you believe a teeny bit that there is real love out there even if you swear up and down that there isnt.
A friend Calls up to see how you are doing.
A friend is still your friend no matter what kind of history lies between you two.

PHEW . There is so much more I could write, but it's time for bed. Before I go I would like to just say that I love the handful of people that are really my friends soooooooooooooo much it's crazy. I seriously believe you guys and gals were put in my life to make life a little more enjoyable while we all rise to the top and reach for the stars. DUH, You know who you are, I tell you I love you all the time! :o) someone pass me a tissue.

I must confess ...

These haven't been the best few days. I have not felt like this in a while . I literally have been sleeping for the past four days. I went out last night and went out tonight for a little bit, of course after sleeping until 5pm. Every night I would tell myself , "Ok tomorrow I will not sleep. I will wake up and do what I have to do to make my dreams come true." It did not work. Ptwitty only inspired me at night.
Don't get me wrong but I have gotten some work done , after 5pm til the wee hours of the morning , as I am doing now. There's a big but : I don't have a social life anymore. You are probably wondering what the big deal is. I have been making myself depressed by just staying in bed all day and not having any contact with people except through Twitter.
I woke up today (@ 5pm) with the intention of going to the movies by myself (another personal thing im working on which I will tell you when I am ready) and going to the Apple store to buy a necessary new battery for my macbook. I did not go to the movies. Went to the apple store alright , and the store was closed. I felt like an idiot . This was the point where I just got fed up with myself and told myself that I need to wake up. Like literally wake up. I thought about how I just wasted a day really believing that the store would be open late on a Sunday. I need to start believing that nothing will wait for me and that I need to do it right then and there as if it will slip out from under my hand if I don't do nothing about it at that moment. You get what I am saying?
So I came home after a fun and very interesting night out and made a list of my goals for the week . If I get them done, i'll buy myself a gift like a bag or something . The catch is that most of it needs to be done during the day.
I am going to sleep soon. I am praying for someone up there to give me the strength I need to get up in the morning and follow my dream.

P.S. This pic is not a pic of me now. I look like an Insomniac hot mess right now and I will not allow you to see me like this .

LETS GO PEOPLE !!!!!!!!!!!!! LET'S GO !!!!!!!!!!!

I follow Diddy on Twitter along with the 200,000 plus and growing other followers . I must say he is very inspirational. I think his messages are really positive . I'm still upset that Santos switched up a bit after he attended one night but Diddy is a cool dude . So what is the definition of "Let's go!!!!!?"

Happy Spring Ya'll

The weather is beautiful! I am feeling great ! How are you doing ? Oh and like Diddy says : LET's Get it !!!!!

Rebecca Minkoff Clothing

You heard right. The awesome bag designer has launched her clothing line . Check it out.

Word on the street ...

is that Tyra is giving NYC gals a chance to try out again . Date has not been released. Should I or should I not? This sounds a bit shallow but hopefully girls that should not be there don't go to the casting . Like if you obviously don't qualify why take up someone else's space?

P.S. Check out the outfits on Ally and Diva (two dancers towards the end) . I would like to thank Pitch Control PR, MadeMe , and Agent Red showroom.

Hello , I am in love again ...

While at the theater...

I saw Watchmen. It was cool but I felt that it dragged too long. I was loosing interest a lot. What really caught my attention in the movie were the earrings that the women were wearing. They were hot !

Thankful ...

I filled out the application but was not able to create a DVD on such short notice. I thought about attending the open casting call. I was kicking my ass the next morning for waking up with a hangover .I was highly dissapointed at myself. Then later that night I heard about the chaos that went on at the America's Next top model auditions in NYC. I should of known better than to be dissapointed. Uh hello. I follow my dreams no matter what. The hangover saved my freakin' life .

What's Twitter ?

So what exactly happened ?

So I checked out CNN . They provided details on the attack. I don't think anyone imagined that it was this bad :

Court documents released Thursday revealed details about the case against Brown, including a police statement that the incident began when Rihanna, whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, found a text message on Brown's cell phone from "a woman who Brown had a previous sexual relationship with."

A search warrant used by police to obtain cell phone records related to the case included the sworn statement by Los Angeles Police Detective DeShon Andrews in which he detailed what allegedly happened in the early morning hours of February 8.

"Brown was driving a vehicle with Robyn F. as the front passenger on an unknown street in Los Angeles. Robyn F. picked up Brown's cellular phone and observed a three-page text message from a woman who Brown had a previous sexual relationship with.

"A verbal argument ensued and Brown pulled the vehicle over on an unknown street, reached over Robyn F. with his right hand, opened the car door and attempted to force her out. Brown was unable to force Robyn F. out of the vehicle because she was wearing a seat belt. When he could not force her to exit, he took his right hand and shoved her head against he passenger window of the vehicle, causing an approximate one-inch raised circular contusion.

"Robyn F. turned to face Brown and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F.'s mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle.

"Brown looked at Robyn F. and stated, 'I'm going to beat the s--t out of you when we get home! You wait and see!' "

The detective said "Robyn F." then used her cell phone to call her personal assistant Jennifer Rosales, who did not answer.

"Robyn F. pretended to talk to her and stated, 'I'm on my way home. Make sure the police are there when I get there.'

"After Robyn F. faked the call, Brown looked at her and stated, 'You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I'm really going to kill you!'

"Brown resumed punching Robyn F. and she interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face. She then bent over at the waist, placing her elbows and face near her lap in [an] attempt to protect her face and head from the barrage of punches being levied upon her by Brown.

"Brown continued to punch Robyn F. on her left arm and hand, causing her to suffer a contusion on her left triceps (sic) that was approximately two inches in diameter and numerous contusions on her left hand.

"Robyn F. then attempted to send a text message to her other personal assistant, Melissa Ford. Brown snatched the cellular telephone out of her hand and threw it out of the window onto an unknown street.

"Brown continued driving and Robyn F. observed his cellular telephone sitting in his lap. She picked up the cellular telephone with her left hand and before she could make a call he placed her in a head lock with his right hand and continued to drive the vehicle with his left hand.

"Brown pulled Robyn F. close to him and bit her on her left ear. She was able to feel the vehicle swerving from right to left as Brown sped away. He stopped the vehicle in front of 333 North June Street and Robyn F. turned off the car, removed the key from the ignition and sat on it.

"Brown did not know what she did with the key and began punching her in the face and arms. He then placed her in a head lock positioning the front of her throat between his bicep and forearm. Brown began applying pressure to Robyn F.'s left and right carotid arteries, causing her to be unable to breathe and she began to lose consciousness.

"She reached up with her left hand and began attempting to gouge his eyes in an attempt to free herself. Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and then released her. While Brown continued to punch her, she turned around and placed her back against the passenger door. She brought her knees to her chest, placed her feet against Brown's body and began pushing him away. Brown continued to punch her on the legs and feet, causing several contusions.

"Robyn F. began screaming for help and Brown exited the vehicle and walked away. A resident in the neighborhood heard Robyn F.'s plea for help and called 911, causing a police response. An investigation was conducted and Robyn F. was issued a Domestic Violence Emergency Protective Order."

At the end of his statement, Andrews said Brown sent a text message nine days later apologizing.

"In the text message, Brown apologized for what he had done to Robyn F. and advised [Rihanna's assistant] Ford that he was going to get help."

Girl , You need to read this now !

I had to share because it's actually the point I have been trying to get across to some women out there (as found on Global Grind) :

Hey ya'll!

This is ya girl LeToya Luckett checkin in for the first time on my global grind page. I know it's been awhile since you heard anything from me, but the wait is over!!! Thank God! :o)

My 1st single "Not Anymore" has already been released & I just finished up the video with director Bryan Barber. I had so much fun doing this video because Bryan let me tap into my acting side.

The video was based on a tour that took place around the 60's. Back then promoters had no problem packing all there acts on one bus, & that of course left plenty of room for drama!! My characters name was Dorthy Cambelle "Dot" for short. Dot had been in this wack relationship with this guy named "Spider" played by Lance Gross (House of Payne).He was a hot mess of a boyfriend & Dot knew she deserved better , but never had the strength to leave. Well eventually Spider crossed the forbidden
line & was messing around with one of the back up singers in Dot's band. Well that did it for Dot & she knew it was time to let this lame go!

Well I definetly can relate to Dot on so many levels.
Why do we choose to stay in wack relationships when we know we deserve better? Is it the whole comfort thing or maybe low self esteem? Could it be that we would rather stay with an idiot than to face the "A" word?

Why are we so afraid of being alone??

Well I have to admit.....for someone who use to have that fear i've been single for awhile now &
I must say it ain't that bad!!! I love getting know me & discovering who the hell I am.

When your in love u tend to get so caught up in the other person that u loose yourself. When u fall hard it's a wrap. U put yourself second trying to satisfy them. Not cool!

Before getting into a new relationship we gotta know who we are, what we want, & what lines can't be cross & stick to it!!!!

God has to come 1st in every decision u make. Trust me he will save u from getting into a lot of crazy situations. Let him be in the driver seat of your life.

For all of my fellow single ladies!!!!! While God is preparing our husbands, The man that he has hand made specifically for us. Let's take this time to be "Married to Jesus". I was reading my " Woman Thou Art Lossed Bible" (written by: TD Jakes) the other day(a must read) & I came across this poem called "Married to Jesus". It changed my whole thought process. It goes on to talk about having that relationship with God 1st before getting into a relationship with a man. That is truly important.

Well I'm about to pack to start my promo tour, but I wanted to check in with ya'll first. If you ever get around to reading some of the inserts in that bible I would love to hear your thoughts.

Hope to hear from u soon!!!

Toya :o)
