Its a WEAVE!

When I have a weave I am always comfortable in admiting that yes my hairstlyle has been purchased by me but does not infact genetically belong to me!...In India for every 10 bald chicks there are at least 4 black chicks somewhere in the world WORKING IT!!! (on their behalf)



Some folks, however are on a mission to conceal the truth by any means necessary, they will tell you their grand father was white or their Mum is half Indian...Why lie girlfriend????

I absolutely love me some weave...the instant glamour, it gives you is second to none...you can go from NAPPY to HAPPY in just a few hours without the need for any surgery or medication, its a winner everytime!

What I dont like is the storm before the calm, the period when your hoping that everyone in the salon goes blind so they don't see your crusty, nappy, flaking, scratching, shedding, knotting, splitting, peeling HEAD!!! You all know what i'm talking about...you've been itching that head for two weeks and now you think you can pull that hat off in the salon and expect people not to flare their nostrils in horror!!??!!


Top Tips...


  1. Choose an experienced/qualified weave technician...If you both cannot speak english at the same level I say ABORT MISSION!

  2. Remember choose the CORRECT colour, take along a friend/sister you can trust...Just because it suits Beyonce and Tyra does not mean it will suit you...OKAY! We have gone through this already guys...(read previous D.A blogs)

  3. Don't keep a weave longer than 3 months! If your weave is moving when your not...you may have an infestation problem...Take off and wash your hair immediately!

Well enough already! Do your thing...just do it well...or your pic may just end up as a warning pic on this blog...YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Hey Diva's..

Yours truly had the privilege of being invited to attend the premiere screening of BET'S a Celebration of Gospel at the Odeon Leicester Square today with G. All the movers and shakers of the British gospel scene were there, including JAHAZIEL, ROGER SAMUELS and the main man of the moment MUYIWA who put on a fantastic live set to end the afternoon' s festivities...what a treat! Talking of treats we were served up a delicious buffet of carribbean cuisine by top London caterers 'CUMMIN' UP'... trust me peeps I got my eat on!

Steve Harvey was the host of the show filmed late January in HOLLYWOOD and he was hilarious! His jokes about OBAMA had us in the ODEON rolling in our seats...! I recommend watching out for the following performances...Mary Mary with their new single 'GET UP' and later on in the show when they duet with the Lip Licking king himself LL Cool J who throws money into the crowd..check out the scramble for the cash, we will excuse the classlessness after all we are experiencing a global recession! Kirk Franklin rocked the show with his track 'LITTLE BOY' and Vickie Winans had us all remembering what a faithful God we serve.

As we all know BET International launched about a year ago in the UK and it has been a triumphant success reaching 1.5 million individuals and is ranked as the leading television brand among black households aged 16-44. (source: BARB 2008). We need to promote and advertise the brand as it is THE station that represents US and OUR issues with US at heart, Glenn Yearwood and his team are doing a great job.

And why is MUYIWA and RIVERSONGZ the group of the moment?...well they made history by being the first BRITISH act to ever appear on 'Celebration of Gospel' After many hopefuls they were personally handpicked to represent the UK...we at D.A salute you Muyiwa! And a shout out to my girl ESTHER who is one of his backing singers check her out at www.myspace.com/estheradeyemi she said LA was an amazing experience and is looking forward to releasing her first single next month...YOU GO GIRL!!!

ALSO! Look out for 106 & Park presents: GOSPEL GENERATION (which launched last month) with hosts Angel Taylor from TRIN-I-TEE 5:7 and Jorel Quinn from 21:03, the show is a weekly spin off of the well known 106 & Park but instead will feature, the hottest music videos and celebrity guests making waves on the Gospel circuit, look out for Choir battles, TYE'S (tribbet's) TIDBITS and much, much more!

Well Diva's I must now put my feet up, walking around Leicester Square in 4" heels will mash a girl up! Until the next exclusive... Ciao! x

IMAN Mohamed Abdulmajid


Philanthropist, Mother, Wife, Businesswoman, Model, Actress.


Born July 25th 1955 in Moghadishu, Somalia. Iman went from University graduate to Supermodel after being approached in 1975 by an American agent, the following year she had her first shoot in Vogue magazine and our Diva has not looked back since.

It is often said that you can't have it all but Iman is a woman who can kinda say she does actually. Mother of Zuleka Haywood aged 30 and Alexandria Zahra Jones aged 9, CEO of Iman Cosmetics, Wife of Superstar Divo David Bowie for the past 17 years and Ambassador for Keep A Child Alive (an organisation that provides drugs to families affected by HIV/AIDS in the third world) Iman is certainly not resting on her laurels.

Iman's advice to up and coming Diva's "To get anywhere in life you have to pay your dues...Success does not happen overnight...Every successful person has worked hard in their chosen field to get where they are..."


We love her, you love her...long live IMAN!

To coincide with the release of the movie He's just not that into you starring Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore, Diva Academy has listed a few clues of our own to help you keep track of your man in question!


He's just not that into you if after 6 months you have not met any of his friends or family? What does he mean he was raised by tigers?!?


He's just not that into you because you do not know his surname, i'm sorry to have to break it to you but calling him by his profile name on myspace does not cut the mustard.




He's just not that into you because you only go for date's outside your local area. (No he's not being adventurous!) Try taking control of your next date and book a table for two at your local Italian after you tell him please email me what colour he turned!




He's just not that into you if all of your dates seem to begin at around 12pm. (Is he a vampire or something?) NO he's just not that into you!



He's just not that into you because its been 5 years, 3 months and 9 days and you still don't have his home telephone number. X directory, I don't think so, more like he is still living with his Ex!

Let's have Church!

Is it me or is going to Church at times like the latest trend to hit the stands...I mean like 'Are you on facebook'?..or..'Do you have a myspace'? You know that some people are only at R*** ,V***or K*** because they are name brand church's. You know when the camera hits them they're trying to pretend that they are really feeling the message all while trying to be filmed on their good side! I've visited such church's and trust me your hair, fingernails and toes better be did or you will feel just slightly out of place. The Pastor rocks a Rolex and drives a Range Rover and is followed by aproximatley six assistants wherever he goes! DIVA! These Church's are slick and present the gospel to the people like they're hosting the Academy awards. Trust me between your hair appointments, the building fund and Pastor's insurance things get expensive up in here make sure you got a good job!
NAME BRAND CHURCH essentials: Good hairdresser, 5" heels, good job, Armani wrap around shades, range rover.

I must admit my Church is old school and by no means name brand I would say we are like more like the black plimsolls your mum brought for you at primary school, comfortable, reliable and humble. My mum began attending in the early 80's and I have been there eversince give or take the odd years when I was either not interested (during my blonde ambition days), or attending Church's in South London. At my Church if your skirt is hovering above the knee you are a potential backsliding suspect, If you are wearing sleevless anything you are a marriage wrecker and if you wear lipstick and or TROUSERS and try to say anything they just turn your sound off, you become invisible and suddenly the call to salvation gets brought forward JUST FOR YOU....because you CANNOT be saved! Ok so i'm exaggerating slightly and thank God due to our current Pastor things are changing for the better but anyone of you reading this that has visited an 'old time religion church' will know what i'm talking about!
OL' TIME RELIGION CHURCH essentials: Hairnet, Hat, Stockings, Tambourine, Paper fan, Frilly Hankie.

Now some of my girls attend church's that are the complete opposite of mine. There the Pastor is simply called Joe and his wife simply Katie, The congregation can heckle during sermon's and there is not a hat in site...In fact the congregation look more like they belong at the Glastonbury festival! The music takes on more of a Rock vibe and dont be suprised if a barefoot aussie bloke strolls past you! Now there is something freeing about this type of service...no one judges you, you receive the most welcoming smiles ever and your appearance is of no importance...its all about JESUS. Now as much as I love all that free hippie love that goes around here we all need a bit of structure...don't we?
GLASTONBURY CHURCH essentials: Flip Flops, T-Shirt, A Smile.

God bless...x

WHY?




...Would you wear your wedding dress to your 50th birthday party?....And by the way the last we heard you were in court, saying he stomped and kicked you down in a parking lot... I don't know ask juanita!
