PHOTOS: Somaya Reece dressed in Cavalli at #LoveAndHipHop @Vh1 reunion taping

January 20, 2012 in Style & Beauty

I will post more photos when the reunion gets closer. The reunion special was TENSE. Again, although Vh1 didn’t show my entire journey, i’m extremely happy to have  had the opportunity to star on 2 successful seasons of Love And Hip Hop. It gave me a pretty awesome platform on Vh1 that i’m very grateful for.  I’m glad fans continue to get to know me throughout the show seasons.  I’m a  balanced  individual, spicy but relaxed, not messy or two faced,  sincere, hard working, family oriented, and  independent. I have never been ashamed to share my struggle, I let the world see it without filters. I’ve never sugarcoated how hard my life has been or how ugly my past has been. I only want to inspire others by sharing my story.  I represent the working class of the world, the dreamers, the risk takers, those who work hard for their family, the ones who stand up and fight for their vision. I AM FOR THE PEOPLE! When it airs   I will definitely  be  live tweeting & Facebook posting my commentary as it airs. As you can see, the look on my face says it all.

I MEAN BUSINESS!!!! I AM NOT HERE TO PLAY !!!! DO NOT   MESS WITH THIS SALVADOREAN !!!! I’ve had enough of the bs…..

My celebrity image consultant Derek Auguste helped me pull this look together. Fashionable, classy, while accentuating my   curves channeling Sophia Loren.  Dressed in Roberto Cavalli, Sergio Rossi electric blue stiletto pumps, custom Kristin Hanson jewelry http://www.kristinhanson.us/ , hair color & style by Krailes Beauty, makeup by the one and only Jonathan !!

Oh and there are rumors about a season 3……hmmmmmmm let’s see ;)

 

Somaya Reece and friends seen at Ricardo’s Steak House in New York City

January 20, 2012 in Style & Beauty

Hey guys! Last night after an intense season 2 Love And Hip Hop reunion. I took my closest friends to dine at Ricardo’s Steak House in New York. Their gourmet food is AMAZING and the service is impeccable. I recommend their appetizer platter, passion mojitos, steak , lobster, lobster raviolis, and their garlic bread is to DIE FOR. You must check them out. Remember I told y’all I bumped into the pap’s??? Thank goodness I wasn’t looking crazy or picking my booty or nose or something. lol Sooooo yeah, here I am. This is my new hair color. You like? :)



We were too busy grubbing to take pics of the whole crew. So I only have  this one. Why are we cheezin so hard tho? lol

Photos of me & @Kimbellasworld on tomorrows episode 9 of #LoveAndHipHop

January 16, 2012 in Candid Thoughts

Our favorite make up artist Jonathan got us looking PRETTY !!

All I can say about this episode is, i’ve never seen someone so disturbingly angry & psychotically    jealous towards someone to a point their face looked like it wanted to explode. Veins poppin out and errythang.  It was a weird “first meeting someone” experience. Life is way too short to be so unecessarily  angry. What if you don’t wake up tomorrow? You’re gonna go out pissed off?

I’m still confused at this anger towards Kimbella in this episode and in general? Once I saw it for myself, it became amusing and laughable. It’s pointless actually. A front! I don’t mind what anyone says about me because I live by the “sticks and stones” saying. Words can’t ever hurt me honey!! My career is growing  and my family is in good health.  Nothing else matters. I hope the angry girl seeks psychiatric help or finds a mentor in their life. It’s time to look in the mirror, be a big girl and not a CHILD!

I’m not even mad, i’m amused at the whole encounter. I’m not entertaining it, that’s  an unecessary  lawsuit waiting to happen. (we saw what happened in the previous episode) I guess the new thing these days is to start drama then call the cops on folks????   NO THANKS. I’m too focused and a cool chick to deal with this hilarity. I don’t get mad, I GET MONEY…….But yeah, everyone deserves to be happy. Me & Kim are happy , BE HAPPY PLEASE :)

Anyways,  we looked cute tho !!

It’s 2012, new year, NEW LOOK for Somaya Reece

January 13, 2012 in Style & Beauty

It’s been a while since i’ve worn my naturally curly hair. I get it from my mother. Her hair is really curly and full. She’s always tried to convince me to wear it. Most of my ladies feel me on this. Once you get used to straightening your hair, you realize your curly hair takes A LOT of effort. I’m not a high maintenance girl so I suppose that’s my main reason I never wear it that way. My make up artist Jonathan thought I needed a change and said “why not” try it for a change. So I tried it out. I showed up to set on the last episode of the show (episode 10 of Love And Hip Hop) and no one recognized me. I heard the executive producer yell “Where is Somaya I thought she was here” lol I was standing right next to her. It was so cute. Anyhow, after a full night of compliments on my new look I thought to myself…..hmmmmm???

So I wore it for my music video “Classy Girl” that will release in a week. Let’s see how this goes.

This is my bestie Jonathan my makeup and hair artist.

My 2012 highlight moment! Missy Elliott, 2012 is going to be GREAT

January 9, 2012 in Candid Thoughts

My 2o12 highlight moment!

Missy Elliott is my musical inspiration, she broke down all the barriers that Hollywood built, she is an inspiration to the youth and her story is touching, she has overcome so much I just love and relate to her so much.  I was on Twitter late last night writing to fans and I tweeted her. I seriously had NO IDEA she would even read to or have any clue who little ole me was. To my SHOCK she tweeted me back, I literally shed a tear and screamed.  I am so humbled and still smiling so big right now. It’s official! My 2012 is now off to a GREAT start and you can’t tell me nothin!!!!!! **Nas Voice** lol  I’m going into overdrive in my work. She is a LEGEND and did not have to even acknowledge my existence but she did. I feel so motivated to grind harder than before. it is inspiring that such a  MASSIVE musical  legend is so humble,  sweet, and congratulated another artist for m their hard work. What a classy woman. Pinch me please??

This is the most awesomest year EVER! And it just started…..

Where is Somaya Reece? This is what I have been up to. Signing deals

January 9, 2012 in News

Firstly i’m grateful to be on 2 seasons of a hit show on Vh1 – Love And Hip Hop. My purpose of being on this show was to build a  platform and take the success to a new height! As any FOCUSED individual  should do if given a chance to be on a hit show with 5 million weekly viewers. Vh1  introduced me to a new audience outside of the audience I had already built throughout the years. I am very thankful for this Gracias A Dios :)

Fast forward……..I got exactly what I have been looking for,  you only  saw  a fraction of it on  the show. Although I would have LOVED for you to see my journey, I have my website , Twitter and Facebook to keep you updated. I got my deal (indy) investment,  I went to L.A, Boston & Denver signed several awesome deals for TV, a publisict, brand management, working on my book, and acting. Met with a few casting directors that I will be working with directly. I left town on a mission and I was blessed!

1  particular  thing  i’m excited about, I have a MAJOR talent agency representing me now. And  **drum roll please**  an awesome brand manager with a lot of experience.  I now have a very experienced team that represent big celebrities! So they know what to do with me in order for me to go reach the top. They work with many of your favorite stars and are hands on with everything involving their brand. My musical team is impeccable, Midi Mafia, KMG, and  Richy Pena. My new musical sound is SOLID and is moving good numbers so far. I must say, 2012 is starting off with a big bang !!!!

I AM SOOOOOOO EXCITED ABOUT THIS ? ? ? My team as a whole is 100% committed to me & my project, they care, and they are TUFF. I’m grateful that I found everything I needed to move my name & music. Don’t get it twisted tho, now comes the hard work and I am ready for it :)

I also re connected with my  close friends whom of course I stay in touch with, but I haven’t seen since I left L.A. My mom was so happy to see me, I didn’t tell her I was coming I just popped up in my house and she flipped out of happiness. She was like “are you back here for good” awwwwww I love her. So yeah, my move to NY, I literally called my only  East Coast friend at the time Cito (from season 1) and said I was sick of not finding this Latin musical sound I was looking for so I was going to drop everything and leave to NY. He thought I was crazy, so did my mother, my father freaked out, my sisters cried, but I knew I just had to do this  if I was going to pursue my dream 100% Can you believe it has been two years since I came to NY with nothing but a dream, a suitcase, no home to live in, leaving my entire family and home behind???? I can’t either! lol But I firmly believe without risk, you will only look back at your life and wonder…..WHAT IF?

Thank you everyone for your support through this journey. The girl that came to NY with 1 suitcase and no place to live :) It took forever, years of extreme sacrifice but. Here I am…..
