This week in Gossip and a message to all dads...

The Gossip this week is like a monsoon compared to last week. These publicists and writers have been hard at work giving you the best of the mess, from A-Rod, to Chris-Rihanna, Tameka Foster's bout with plastic surgery gone wrong...and so far, no full developments on All-Star weekend, but likely to develop some types of drama.

So here's some of the best, as told by Black Daria:

Fashion Week Fall 2009 begins this week, and no invites. Lots of "sorry, unable to accomodate you this year," and "space is extremely limited." Well, fine then. For those whom are invited to the tents, the Armory and the Showrooms themselves, this frenzy for fabric and such began as of 2/13 and will continue to haunt me until 2/20. I don't care how my sister dressed in the 90s, I know fashion...I will look for your invites in 2010.

Some things I've liked so far (photos appear courtesy of NY Daily News...that sounds professional, so that's what it is):

Yes, Black Daria would wear this Abaete dress.

She could also wear this BCBG Max Ariza dress.

She wouldn't wear this Jason Wu frock. I think I've seen better work from Project Runway contestants.

She would wear this, however. Something like this with less see-through and chest could have been worn by Michelle Obama, Jason Wu-poo. Grey is in for Fall '09.

She also likes that Fashion had a heart this year...you can see who walked in this year's Heart Truth Fashion Show here.

Tameka Raymond is recovering from surgery...see, people shouldn't have been so mean about those pictures circulating, you guys put people under pressure...joking, and glad she's OK. She's kinda lucky this Chris Brown-Rihanna mess is happening or it would be gangster out there, you know what happens when people have nothing to talk about...

Gossip Girl was another repeat, and the Season Finale of Daddy's Girls came as fast as it's premiere...it's always a 6-week run with some of the new reality shows to see if it has a chance. Top Chef was pretty good as Carla is in the final 4 (yay, Black Girls Rock) and that was all I could really stand this week. I am waiting for The Real Housewives of New York.

And lastly, in lieu of my post regarding the Chris Brown-Rihanna dibacle, a little food for thought: teach your daughters self-confidence, not the best way to hit a crack pipe. They may learn how to see trouble at the first hit, rather than the last one...sometimes it's too late by then.

So to all the fathers out there...your daughters need you.

xoxo,

Black Daria :/
