SMH
TELL IT LIKE IT IZ!!!!! I'm tired too of people up on here throwing the word HATE. IT IS CALLED AN OPINION! There is no wrong or right. Either you agree or disagree? If that's how you are feelin than so be it! IT IZ WHAT IT IZ! This is 2010 people and it's time to let the word HATE GO! This is ENTERTAINMENT! PLEASE, don't take to HEART!
To linda on here, if you are the same Linda that was on BV Fashion/Styles; it seems to me that you are trying to keep it going with the HATE thing? You said something like that on another blog and really the comment was for me. You came back on the blog, apologized, and said that "I am right, everyone is entitled to their own opinion"? Why switch up now? Please stand on your word, don't let others make you change your mind, and just be yourself. LOL :-)

To SMH and Dimepiece. Let's get this straight. The only reason I agreed with you earlier is because that is the only thing to do with someone dumb enough to call themselves "Dimepiece". As for use of the word hater I used that instead of jealous because I was speaking in the vernacular that you might would understand. Again, if you can make an album or put on a show, DO IT. Until then if you have nothing positive to say keep it to yourself. That is my opinion.

Good looking out on using the word hater,because if you would have used the word jealous instead we wouldn`t have known what you were talking about...smh lol.
Understand this kid we are all just giving our opinions,and noone has anything to gain or lose by doing that.It`s really not that serious,so kill the "HATE"speech ok...thank you.

Looky here, Linda WICKED WITCH OF THE EAST, NORTH, SOUTH, AND WEST,
Somebody got up on the WRONG SIDE of the bed today? But, you probably get up on the wrong side of the bed EVERYDAY? Sweetheart, this "DimePiece" ain't going NO WHERE! "DimePiece" is something you will never be! If you would not take things to heart, because sweetheart, it's not that SERIOUS just like SMH said? I don't think my comments are NEGATIVE? No, not at all. It's people like YOU that always thinks that they are right in what they say all the time. If we don't agree with YOU, we have to be WRONG? People like me on here are allowed to say what the hell we want! IT'S AN OPINION not HATE!
Why don't you get off the blogs, LOOK UP the definition of OPINION and HATE, take a chill pill, and GET YOUR ISH TOGETHER SWEETHEART before you post anything STUPID AGAIN! Because right about now, you sound like you are about to have a nervous breakdown? You are lookin like a fool up on here. I'm going to say it one mo gain, THIS IS ENTERTAINMENT get a GRIP! IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS! I take back the LOL in my reply to you because with the attitude you are displaying up on here, you don't deserve IT! Don't get me started up on here! Like I said in the past on the blogs, YOU WOULD BE A BETTER PERSON IF YOU JUST FOCUS JUST ON THE BLOGS and STOP WORRYING ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE ON HERE THAT DON'T AGREE WITH YOUR BEHIND! STICK TO THE SCRIPT!
RIGHT BACK @ YOU :-( HOW YOU DO!
