"Queen of Media is dethroning television castle"


Why oh why Oprah are you leaving in 2011? I don't get it I mean I thought your fans and everyone were really doing well. I hope its not for hype missy. We love you and adore you. You have been on since the year I was born and my family and I love everything you do. I wish you would stay for another few seasons but we will miss you very much. You have really been a huge part of my life and I am so glad that an African American woman has paved the way. Its phenomenal and amazing what you have done. You have touched the lives of so many people and I am one of them. You inspire me to be a better person, inspiring journalist, and young woman. I am wondering who are you going to pass the torch to? Who will be next in line will it be Tyra, Ellen, Wendy Williams, or are you grooming someone we have yet to meet? I wonder I wish I could fill those shoes. You are such a force not to be played with I know you have something in mind to keep your television fans excited. I wish you all the best though really. Thank god for you and I will be continuing to watch the show and I hope I have a chance to see you again in person. Minus all of the trucks and police. I went to see you in NYC but was running a little late but fortunately I was able to catch you at home. I hope I will see you in person so I can say thank you and good luck. =) Love U Queen Oprah, the queen of media All the best.

Princess and the Frog movie Controversy


So why is it all of a sudden I am checking out information online about Disney's new film "Princess and the Frog" and people are bashing how the little innocent cartoon characters love interest is caucasian. Are we really at a point where people just do not like interracial relationships? Come on now some of the best celebrities are in interracial marriages or relationships and they are doing well. I mean I understand the fact as an African American young woman myself that people are still dealing with the acceptance of those kind of relationships. I mean haven't we evolved at least for now. I mean she's a cartoon character for god sakes! LOL (Laughing out loud for you non text lingo people). I don't understand that what Disney is trying to do is educate the young minds of America on the love is really blind and that society has changed so much in the last fifty or sixty years especially in the media. She's too adorable to have people bashing her because she's dating a prince whos white. I think its sad because of the best celebrities and people of my generation and the generation before me are products of interracial relationships. Give it a rest people. Wake up and take a taste of the chocolate and vanilla swirl okay? I really think this is about fun for children. They probably don't even notice the meaning or what the images are really projecting. I mean I never had a problem sitting there watching "Pocahontas" and thinking ..."Oh why is Pocahontas dating someone who is white?" It never phased me I was enjoying the film and having fun. That's all that matter to me. I believe the music, the characters, and the film itself are going to be something that the children will treasure for years to come. They won't be fixated on that actually. So in my opinion take your babies to see the movie.
Update 1/13/2010: I just bought my very own Tiana doll. She was $20.00 dollars at the St.Louis airport so I guess I'm a Princess Tiana fan lolz I'm too old to be. But she's adorable. I plan to dress like her if not for Halloween on my wedding day it will be a "Princess and the Frog" theme which would be perfect. Chloe kissed a whole bunch of frogs and got her prince! LMAO! I can't wait one day lol we'll see. But for now I can't wait to see the movie its been out for a month already. I gotta see it soon. =)

Summer 2009 The Things Ms.Chloe J did






My my my how time flies just one year ago we started blogging in my basic reporting class and I need so much to catch up on to my beloved readers or followers. Well lets start with my summer first of all. This summer besides working hard in school with a creative writing class and working. I managed to go visit one of the best places in the United States....Are you ready do you want to know where I went?



I went to Vegas baby!!!!!! Yes I went to Las Vegas, Nevada with one of my besties, Marisa and Chris. Whew we had fun I can't tell you how exciting the town really is. There's so much to do during the day and the night. I can go on and on. We stayed for about close to a week but we really did not want to leave. There was so much to do we tried to squeeze everything within the days. One place we visited I think you all may love was Treasure Island it was fun with the pirates & syrens coming out and watching the show. The next place we went to is one of my favorite malls in the U.S. now I wish I could fly back and go now. Fashion Show Mall is where we went it's amazing, huge, and really nice. I thought it was so cool how a live runway in the middle of the mall is where people are watching the show. The mall was sooooo nice its incredible. The next place we went was The Mirage Hotel where my new favorite candy store is "The Sugar Factory" I love it and its so cool. We need one right in the middle of Times Square in New York so kids and adults can come. I loved it. I also went to Circus Circus which is a hotel but let me tell you this have you ever gone to a hotel with a boardwalk type of vibe. Where a live carnival is inside the hotel. Thats where we went. It had a theme park inside the hotel. It was incredible. We had sooo much fun. I suggest for you big kids take the little kids to go. We didn't want to leave there's so much to do. I also went to several hotels that you may want to stay at The Palazzo, The Mirage, Caesar's Palace,and several others. But nothing compares to my hotel lolz The Trump International Hotel. I loved it. Oh I didn't tell you my beloved readers I met Mr Flavor of Love himself, "FLAVOR FLAV!!!!". I was at Caesars Palace and he was there with a friend about to have dinner and was so kind enough to take a picture with me Lolz.

Birthday Week 2009



I had an awesome birthday week I can't describe the feeling of being proud to be born around a great time. The Yankees won their world series game two nights before my birthday which worked out pretty well because I was able to attend the 27th anniversary parade on my birthday by canal street. Here's my take on the experience....I am not an avid sports watcher maybe when I am watching basketball but for the last couple of weeks I have become a Yankees watcher. I just attended the 2009 Yankees Parade in New York City located between Broadway and Canal Street and going uptown. The parade was the commemoration for the 27th anniversary celebration of the Yankees taking the title of the game from their Wednesday play against the Philadelphia Phillies 4-7. Throughout the whole day I saw a mixture of blue, white, and pinstripes of the beloved Yankees jerseys. Everyone was marching, yelling, and screaming “Let’s Go Yankees!” in sing song formation. The parade of course had floats gliding down the streets. The place where I stood was not the live spot where the coverage took place but I was able to see on the Jumbo- Tron images of prominent Yankees figures Derek Jeter smiling and beaming proudly. I saw that not only adults were dressed up wearing their pinstripes. They also dressed their children in decorative matching outfits. The vendors were out there trying to earn a buck for t-shirts and selling flags as well. I personally would love to wear a NY Yankees jersey in honor of my birthplace’s team. I am very proud to be a semi- New Yorker and to be honoring the Yankees on my birthday as well. Its kind of funny how that all worked out actually.
Fans were definitely proud of their home team some came from their next door state New Jersey as well as just to be apart of the action. I even found some gentlemen who are Yankees fans who wanted to take and pose pictures with me on my special day as well. The parade will be something I will remember for years to come until the next World Series game. They have made me want to go to the New Yankees Stadium in the Bronx a and watch a game in the future with my pink Yankees cap, a hot dog, and a camera in one hand snapping photos. So as the songs “Take me out to the ball game take me out to the crowd…For its root root for the home team!” I heart you Yankees good luck in the next season and congratulations on the win.
