Tribute To A Legend

Whitney Houston

09/08/1963 – 11/02/2012

“You wait for a voice like Whitney’s for a lifetime. A voice like that. A smile like that. And for someone to embody all of those things is astounding....The memories are so powerful, her music will be with us forever.”

– Clive Davis, Whitney’s Mentor.

The whole World paid tribute to the fallen musical legend Whitney Houston on Saturday, as her funeral took place in Newark, New Jersey, in the Church where she sang as a child. Friends, family and familiar faces shared their memories of the beloved icon in what was both a beautiful and very emotional service.

"She's paved the way for every single singer in the music industry. Iconic, legendary, innovating, amazing, humble...One of the best in the World."

- Toni Braxton.

“You weren’t just pretty, you were as beautiful as a woman could be. People didn’t just like you Whitney. They loved you.” – Kevin Costner.

The most awarded female artist of all time, at just 48 years of age, Whitney is a musical icon who will go down in history. An incredibly talented and stunning woman. Thank you for the inspiration, passion and music. Your golden voice will live forever. RIP xx

Candy Girl...

My legs are long,

My hump is BIG!

My pout is perfect

As I puff on a cig...

My lashes are lush,

I powder my nose,

You'll even be turned on

By my sweet camel toes ;)

The fellas they want me,

They make it quite clear,

They'll "Do me nice price!"

But baby I'm dear!

Strolling the land,

I hold my head high,

Think the pyramids are special?

Wait till you see my eyes...

The only temple round here baby,

Is this body of mine,

Caramel in colour,

So toned, so defined.

God must of been high

When he named us 4-legged lot,

Coz baby, I'm clearly

An absolute FOX!!

So come admire my beauty,

I'm one hot mammal,

Take a photo it lasts longer,

Of 'Candy' your sugar sweet Camel ;)

In dedication to Alex Dixon.

Boy knows a camel when he sees one...

Be My Valentine... ♥

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

That’s what they say,

But it’s not really true.

Roses are red,

And apples are too,

But violets are violet,

Violets aren’t blue.

An orange is orange,

But Greenland’s not green,

A pinky’s not pink,

So what does it mean?

We call something blue,

When it’s not, we lie a bit,

But hey, what the hell,

It’s hard to rhyme with ‘Violet’!

A message of LOVE

Can be hard to understand,

Leaving you head in the clouds,

And your feet not on land.

But confusion aside,

It’s all fun and games,

Love brings its Challenges,

Goals and aims...

A Mountain climb,

For a Charity cause,

To reach a snowy peak,

The help I need is yours!

To raise the funds,

So I can tackle this beast,

I’m organising a Ball,

With live music and a feast!

The venues booked,

The date is set,

Friday 10^th Feb,

Statham Lodge’s biggest LOVE event yet!

Dudes think dapper,

Girlies think glam,

Bring all you friends,

Your dad, your sis, your mam!

A Killer Kili evening,

To keep Cupid on his toes,

Where the night may take us,

Only him & his bow knows ;)

So please help to raise funds,

At my Valentines Do,

£25 a ticket,

Not much for a smooch or two ;)

Every donation counts...

Kili For Kids

My Charity Challenge

I believe in fate, superstitions and that laughter is the best medicine. I also believe in angels, good men and other fantasy creatures. The only one I’m going to reflect on here though is fate. I’ve always thought that everything happens for a reason, and whatever does happen was meant to be! So I’d been having one of them days where you feel a bit lost and don’t know what to do with your life, when a friend texted me.... She was telling me about some Charity Climb she’d signed up for. Reading this at whatever time in the morning after the way I’d been feeling all day I thought what the hell, I’m gonna friggin do it too! Be it fate, fortune or karma, or maybe just my tired and vulnerable state at ridiculous o’clock in the morning, I’d signed myself up for one absolute MISSION of a challenge!

Killer Kili Facts, Uhoh....

At a massive 19,340 feet Kilimanjaro is the tallest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the World! This mammoth mountain is made up of three volcanoes and supports 5 major eco-zones, these being rainforest, heath, moorland, alpine desert and glaciers. So the Rooftop of Africa’s sizzling savannah is a snow-capped peak?! This bad boy is BIIIIIIIG!!!

Childreach International

The Charity who I’ll be doing the climb for is Childreach International. They are a UK registered grass roots charity that has worked with over 70,000 children in the past year alone. They work in genuine partnership with local communities in the developing world to help improve children’s access to healthcare, education, child rights and protection. They operate on their own projects and support partner's projects in Tanzania, India, Nepal, Occupied Palestinian Territories, Pakistan, Peru, Cambodia, China and Bangladesh. Big shout out the Childreach!! These guys are Saints.

Pounds To The Peak

So the first step to the Kili for Kids Challenge is raising the dollar for the trip! A minimum £3000 needs to be raised, over half of which will go directly to Childreach International projects around the World! ! Below is a link to my BT My Donate page which is one way in which we can help to raise the funds. Any donation, no matter how big or small, is MASSIVELY appreciated! It’s only through your help that we can make this all possible :)

Thanks so much everyone!!
