Mary J. Blige Blesses Complete Stranger
Mary J. Blige was feeling extra charitable the other day while shopping in New York’s Diane von Furstenberg store. Mary apprently overheard a shopper who was there to pick up a dress on hold. The chick “mistakenly” thought the dress being held was $500, but in fact it was $900 (you know how those 9’s and 5’s sound alike over the phone…) Anyway…she couldn’t afford the balance. Well….Ms. Moneybags decides to help out the poor stranger by giving her the difference on the dress.
Blige told the saleswoman, “Go get the girl. I want to pay for the balance on the dress.” The customer at first declined Blige’s offer but relented after the singer said, “I know what it’s like to want something and not be able to have it. I insist.” The customer wanted to send her a check for the balance, but Blige said, “Just enjoy it. I’m blessed, so let me do this.” (Source)
I commend Mary…but the chick was there buying a $500 dress, so I’m almost certain that she wasn’t like STARVING or anything. But hey….it’s Mary’s money and it was a very sweet gesture. I’m just hoping to run into Mary at the gas station. This dayum Bentley’s a b*tch to fill up….

June 18, 2008 @ 3:26 pmAw that was really sweet of Mary! She is just fab in countless ways. Anywho my dear culture and style connoisseur, have you heard about If Looks Could Kill yet? If not, then I’ve been sent from the heavens of Toyota, where I work actually, to catch you up honey! These thrilling new webisodes follow my girl Bianca, an aspiring fashion designer, who finds herself involved in a web of international espionage by night. Think James Bond meets How Stella Got Her Groove Back!
Interactive: The viewer can interact with Bianca to help her unravel the mystery that has suddenly become her life. I really enjoy the multiple levels; it adds a dimension of reality to the story and builds a unique relationship between the main character and viewer.
Sweepstakes: Watch and be one of the 50 to win a new iPod Nano, or be one of the 75 to win a $100 Visa gift card or $75 Nordstrom gift card!
Boutique Info: Okay listen up Atlanta, we’re holding a special event this Saturday (6/21) at Tracy Nicole boutique! And if you wind up in Chicago next week, Sensual Steps is throwing a party on the 26th. Mark your calendars doll!
I’d really love your take on the first episode—Haute Pursuit—and discuss more as the other episodes roll-out. Myself, I’m still trying to figure out who the bad guy is—the ex, the boyfriend, the boss? Or maybe it’s Nana? lol
Again, would love your take because bloggers like yourself definitely have a good eye about what’s cool, hot and current! I would have contacted you via email but I didn’t know which the best way to reach you was. I hope I didn’t overstep my bounds by directly contacting you.
Don’t be shy hun!
Best,
