About: Fly + Intellect
Mz Coko likes being Fly... and Mz Coko likes talking about stuff other than clothes... cuz that's what 'Intellectuals' do. Plus Mz Coko has a slight case of ADD and can not stay on one topic... so whatever Mz Coko feels like talking about (something along the lines of fashion and black folk issues) is what is gonna get talked about.

I'm baaaaaack... and I've been tagged
Hello folks,

I've been back since Sunday but to be honest... I haven't felt like blogging... I haven't felt like doing anything actually... I am completely exhausted. Glad you guys showed me love... and hate (which i find amusing btw)..

Sint Maarten was beautiful... I had a blast and the people are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO nice. I'll leave you guys with a couple stolen pix (my camera broke :'( ) of my vacay as I recuperate and get ready for school to start... I might do a re-cap later I will be updating as soon as I feel like it.. but i WILL be catching up on all of ya'lls blogs..


The girls and I.... We were all at LEAST 4 shades darker at this point... Our nicknames from L to R: Kinky, Splits (prev. Cushion for the Pushin but I ain't like that), Caramella, Fat Punchie (don't ask), African Queen and Cherry Lips. The names were given to us by one of the boys who was so sweet and showed us around the island and took care of us... he was... obviously a freak tho lol :X







Views of our balcony... you can see St. Barts in the background and some kind of huge rock... and some other island...



More pix may come if ya'll want them... I'm still waiting on my friends to finish uploading them on facebook...


Well... I just found out that i've been tagged so umm.. here goes...

Accent – ummm.. honestly ppl tell me i talk like i'm hispanic... idk why.. but.. I don't think I have an accent...

I Don't Drink – Beer. cuz it's gross.

Chore I Hate – hmm... I'm lazy... so... I hate all chores... my room at my mama's house look like a tornado shook it up the whole summer...

Pets – I am my own pet...

Essential Electronic – My Blackberry... I can do anything on it!!

Perfume/Cologne – Issey Miyake's L'eau D'Issey and Tommy Girl (it smells good on me)

Gold or silver – Gold.

Insomnia – not really... but the school year is coming back so... I'll only be sleeping 2-4 hrs per night.

Job Title – Two weeks ago it was a Cancer Research Fellow.. but now it's just Help Desk Slave and student...

Most Admired Trait – Ummm... it has got to be my rear-end... it's admired across cultures... I get it from my mama... Coming in at a close second is my mouth I get compliments on my lips n teeth all the time.. idk why cuz i have a tiny gap (that's where the nickname splits came from) but apparently ppl like it

Kids – Yeah... me.

Religion – Jesus Christ is my lord and savior... and I'm a Baptist.. as Madea says "I'll set it off up in hea"

Siblings – yup... I'm the oldest then we have... The boy 17. Rico Suav-ay 16. My younger twin 15. Mini woman 5.

Time I wake up – When the sun comes out or a light comes on... I can't sleep with lights.. I have to flip over my alarm clock.

Unusual talent/skill – i dunno.. i'm a jack of all trades and hang with all crowds so depending on who i'm talking to.. braiding hair might be unusual

Vegetable I refuse to eat – None that I know of... but I know for sure I refuse to eat a chitlin!

Worst habit – having an attitude...

X-rays – of my teeth... thats about it...

My favorite meal – Summertime is the best time!
Seven-layer salad
macaroni and cheese
candied yams
fried chicken
ribs
fruit salad with honey and splenda (try it... it's AMAZING)
some type of garlic bread.. (my favorite)




I tag Seattle Slim, Lady Shay, Shug and JMW

*MOVING*
*update* Look at the blog under this...I posted it after this post but started it before... it's just pix of black models

Well, I probably won't be posting too much this week... I'm moving into my new apartment on Friday, having a photoshoot on Saturday, and getting ready to go to St. Maarten on Sunday.

As I was cleaning out the stuff from my room at my mother's house.. I realized I have a lot of freaking jewelry... I'll share with you.. I also have 6 more necklaces, 3 pairs of earrings, and 8 bracelets in my car (literally i counted), and some more stuff at my other apartment.. Yes.. I have a problem... I'm working on it tho! Stay blessed and fly throughout your week!





And I have more just randomly around the house... it's a shame.. it really is..

Since I won't be here.. you can read the blog soap opera.. Quid Pro Quo Love @ The Journey for the male's perspective and Write For Life for the female's perspective... I love it!

It's Gotta Be The Swag... and Random Stuff...
TI

JODY BREEZE

Idris Elba

My favorites!! I don't know why I luv them... it's gotta be the swag!! i just love em for no reason other than the swag i guess... Well I do love T.I.'s music... although I feel as though his latest effort is sub-par.

Monique finally has some clothes out... she has 3 pairs of jeans on her site... and they are called FAT Girl Jeans...





I dont really wear jeans with a lot of designs on them... but that may be because I'm a po' college student and if i had a lot of designs on my pants.. people would realize how often I wore them LOL. I'll catch em when they on sale.. which may be never cuz they already back-ordered.


Oh yeah... There's this new-to-me boutique that I just found out about for plus-sized women (BLACK-OWNED WOO HOO!) called Monif C and you can shop online... It's too expensive for me (right now) but... I know some of ya'll are ballers out there. They have some fabulous dresses I'll tell you that... and since I *heart* dresses... I'll post them.



Freakum dress!!





I'm mad her knees ashy tho...




They have other styles of dresses but I'm really into solid colors... oh.. and that last dress is my $35 version of a dress from there.. lol... me no can afford a $200 dress to wear nowhere. I put on a dress to ride in the car for 5 hours...

Oh and I have some new favorite FLY blogs!! So check them out...

Thick Misses A spotlight for the thick women... that's how I found out about the Mo'Nique Jeans...

Black Pearls Focuses on all things pretty and black!!

Black Style Central The name says it all.

I Like Her Style! You wanna steal somebody's style? Here's the place to go.

8 More things about ya girl!
Umm.. so Yaz tagged me a week ago and now i'm doing it lol!

Rules: 1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog


1. I got stung in my mouth by a bee! While I was driving down Telegraph road... with a car full of people... (Telegraph is an extremely busy street.. we almost died)

2. I can not keep my room at my mom's house clean for nothing in the world! But I can keep my room at my apartment clean... weird i know.

3. I don't believe in half-brothers and half-sisters... What is that supposed to mean anyway? U only get half the love? I dunno... maybe it's cuz I'm all of my siblings half-sister.

4. I am the oldest of 4.5 siblings... Two brothers and 2.5 sisters... (The boy is the only one under my mom) the .5 is my stepsister but she's only 5 and she don't know the difference.. but she gets treated the same.. if not better than all of my other brothers and sisters

5. Out of my friends from college, I am the shortest. But, out of my friends from home, I am the tallest. Weird I know.

6. I have a shopping problem.

7. I got good credit!! LOL... This just amazes me cuz I know very few people with good credit.

8. I love Law & Order SVU.... I can sit there and watch it all day and all night.


There is your weekly dose of facts about me lol
