  • Meeting of the Minds: Presidential Power Lunch

    Jan, 8 2009 | Written by ATLien

    President-elect Barack Obama met with the four living members of the U.S. presidents’ club yesterday (George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter). The image above will forever be hailed in history books as every living U.S. president came together at the White House for a “power lunch” to hash over the world’s challenges with the president-elect. This is the first meeting of its kind since the days of President Ronald Regan.? Check out the AP news coverage below:

    “This is an extraordinary gathering,” Obama said, looking plenty at ease in the humbling office that will soon be his.

    “All the gentlemen here understand both the pressures and possibilities of this office,” Obama said. “And for me to have the opportunity to get advice, good counsel and fellowship with these individuals is extraordinary. And I’m very grateful to all of them.” (Source)

    Flix ~ Ludacris, T.I. & Jeezy Rally For Democratic Sen. Candidate Jim Martin

    Dec, 2 2008 | Written by ATLien


    (PhotoSource)

    Ludacris, T.I. and Young Jeezy all stood in support of Democratic Senate Candidate Jim Martin during yesterday’s “Rally For Change”. ?The event was held yesterday evening at the Georgia State Capital and all braved the cold weather to rally and show support for their favorite candidate. Martin is up against Republican incumbent Sen. Saxby Chambliss in a runoff election for the U.S. Senate seat today (Dec. 2nd). The campaign has been plagued with negative ads from the republican candidate, one of which states to vote against Jim Martin “to stop Barack Obama’s radical agenda.” ?I saw it during the Falcons game Sunday and almost fell outta that barstool! ?

    If you’re in Georgia, PLEASE make a point of returning to the polls today to cast your VOTE!

    A Picture Perfect Holiday Message From The Obamas

    Nov, 21 2008 | Written by ATLien

    Check out our new President-elect Barack Obama, his beautiful wife Michelle (dontcha just love that name!) and their two cute daughters, Malia & Sasha in their 2007 holiday message. ?Mrs. Obama starts things off with a generous thank you to the people of Iowa and New Hampshire, where the ad was first broadcast last year:

    ?We would like to take a moment to thank you and your family for the warmth and friendship that you have shown ours; for sharing your hospitality and your stories,? she says.

    Mr. Obama follows:?In this holiday season we are reminded that the things that unite us as a people are more powerful and enduring than anything that sets us apart. And we all have a stake in each other, in something larger than ourselves. So from my family to yours, I am Barack Obama and I approve this message.

    ?Merry Christmas!? says Malia.

    ?Happy holidays!? chimes Sasha. (Source)

    OK…what other family is as perfect?? ?The fireplace? ?The matching outfits? I love them! Can’t wait to see the video for 2008.

    Ciara Covers Right On + Shares Election Night Tales

    Nov, 6 2008 | Written by ATLien

    Photo via?DBlanks

    Ciara covers the December 2008 issue of Right-On magazine with somewhat of a different look. She is really going all out with her “Go Girl” glamour image. ?Love it! ?Especially the throwback?POW! doorknocker?earrings created by?Melody Ehsani.?The photo was captured by Atlanta celebrity photographer Derek Blanks.

    Ciara also took a moment yesterday to share her election night memories of Barack Obama’s historic win:

    The 23-year-old spent election night going back and forth from inside an Atlanta rehearsal studio to the hallway to check the results. ?Finally, when rehearsals were over I just sat in the lobby area where the TVs are and watched the speeches. Just took it all in.

    ?I?ve just been feeling this sense of pride, like for days now,? she said. ?Not just because of the history of the first black president ? but because I just believe he will be a great president. Black people didn?t just vote for him, all ethnicities did. And I think that?s because Barack Obama sees us all as one. All Americans.

    ?I didn?t cry last night when I was watching his speech, but when I was driving here to rehearsal today, they were playing it on the radio with [contemporary gospel singer] Marvin Sapp?s ?Never Would Have Made It? underneath, and I just started boo-hooing.? (source)

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸

After all that eviction tea, the doors are locked and lights out. Big shoutout to @millichun for sliding by to check out the scene! 

Is Kenya really Gone With the Rent? Or is Friday her off day? 👀

        The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSI The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSIER, chile! 
The landlord has officially clapped back in court — filing their answer to Kenya’s counterclaim, and whew, they brought receipts on receipts! 

According to the filing, Kenya hasn’t paid a dime in rent or utilities since December 2024, which technically makes her a squatter! 😬 And about that $80K tenant improvement allowance she’s been fighting for? The landlord says she’s in default and violated several terms, meaning that deal is void.

This whole thing is turning into a Bravo-level courtroom saga… minus the peach! 🍑

The full 99-page amended complaint (with all the juicy details) is available now on Patreon + Members Only! http://patreon.com/atlien or hit the link in bio for the exclusive legal tea.

So what do y’all think? Can Kenya spin this, or is the Hair Spa officially a wrap?
