In "Akeelah and The Bee", Keke Palmer played as a girl who could spell anything! In real life she is a singer, actress and a smart girl who graduated high school with plans to attend college. Keke is known in Hollywood as being a role model for a lot of young girls. She has won awards like: BET young stars. I think she is very positive and talented and I cannot wait to see what her new project will be in the near furture.

Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty

Yesterday, my aunt and I went to Metropolitan Musuem of Art to see the Alexander McQueen exhibit "Savage Beauty" and it was GREAT! His clothing were so different and one of a kind. There were interesting details such as: feathers, gems, shells, silk, lace and metal. Some dresses were more elegant then others. Platos Atlantis was another irreplaceable masterpiece I thought was very interesting. Platos Atlantis had a nautical theme. It had many sequence throughout the whole piece of clothing. It was very colorful in reminded me of the ocean. It was so unusual than everyday clothing. The outfit has texture. The garment was very vibrant. Alexander McQueen’s outfits were always very out of the ordinary and extraordinary!!!!

Dream Out Loud by Selena Gomez

I really like Selena Gomez and I recently took a shopping trip so I can take a look at her collection- Dream Out Loud. When, we went to Kmart the clothes there were: girly but causal and on most shirts there were ruffles. Her clothes also had simple designs and lots of color. There were many striped shirts and skirts in her collection. When we looked at her shirts and her tank-tops there was a small graphic of a dove and different types of animal prints. I think her clothes were very cute, but for the older age group of girls.

Diggy Simmons

Diggy Simmons is a teen male artist and the son of old school rapper Run of Run DMC. He is very talented and along with making music he also is planning to launch a clothing line. Recently he released his new song “Copy, Paste” and it seems like a hit. When I heard that song I instantly liked his music!!!! I think his songs have a lot of originality. He also does many songs with other teen muscians like: Jacob Latimore, Mindless Behavior and Jessica Jarrell. Diggy is a now one of my favorite rappers.

CONEY ISLAND!!!

Who would expect an amusement park in the Big Apple? Well if you go to Coney Island, you will find great rides and games. It was my first time going and it was so fun!! We went on many fun rides like: the Brooklyn Flyer, Surfers Ups and the Tickler.
The Tickler was a roller Coaster that involved lots of spins, twists and turns! Note: If you are scared of heights do not attempt this ride.

The Brooklyn Flyer went up really high and swung around in circles at a medium speed, Note:If scared that might fall, drop to ground etc. do not attempt.

The Coney Tower wasn’t as scary as you think it would be. The Coney Tower only involved up and downs, Note: If go on this ride with scary people they may annoy you!

Brooklyn Botanic Gardens

During my visit to NYC, I went to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden (BBG). It was a great experience and there was a lot of beautiful and interesting things I saw. Below are a few of my favorites, I hope you like them as much as I did.


Lobster Claws
One of the plants that I saw in the Tropical section of the BBG reminded me of lobster claws. The plant was very colorful, very bright, and it was a very different kind of plant that I have never seen before.

The Unique Tree

The Bonsai tree that I seen at the Botanic Gardens was sooo unique!!! The tree had lots of twists and bends. I never saw anything like this and I really liked it alot.

The Summertime Flower

This cluster of purple flowers caught my attention. They were so beautiful! The flower color was so bright and pretty.
