If you have the book check out the begging of chapter 11 it describes it. I would be interested to see your arena sounds like a fun project:#x0029; In modern depictions, the cornucopia is typically a hollow, horn-shaped wicker basket filled with various kinds of festive fruit and vegetables.

BOSSIP Exclusive: Alexandra Shipp Dishes On ‘Drumline: A New Beat’ And Her Breakout Year In Hollywood

Will you be watching “Drumline: A New Beat”???? Alexandra Shipp Interview Alexandra Shipp is enjoying a breakout year and capping it off with the lead role in “Drumline: A New Beat.”  The singing/dancing entertainer who plays a drummer with a dream named Dani, recently sat down with BOSSIP to dish on the VH1 film and her time in the spotlight. How does your character Dani pick up where Devin Miles left off in “Drumline”? Well it’s a new beat so for Dani she comes into the school and is trying to be the first female section leader and is trying to break down all the ideas that people have about women when it comes to being in a marching band. She goes into this school trying to succeed at music and like Devin Miles she is a little bit cocky and thinks that she deserves it. Whereas you have to earn your keep on the line, so it’s a little bit like Devin Miles but it’s also a new story about Dani where she‘s trying to discover herself and learn how to be the best musician and female section leader that she can possibly be. Will “Drumline: A New Beat” give viewers the same feeling of being at an HBCU as “Drumline”? You do [feel like you’re at an HBCU] but this is definitely focusing on the drumline a little bit more. We’re at college but at the same time we’re in a marching band. So we wanted to make it a little bit more worldly so that everyone could be like all the girls who play the snare, all the girls who want to be in a marching band could get into it. We have some really great HBCU moments but we also have some really cool drumline moments, it’s about the camaraderie that you feel when you’re on the line with your friends. Everyone’s in sync, everyone’s feeling it. Even though you already have a background in singing and dancing this is your first time acting in a band. What was the experience like? It was such an intense experience. I danced before, I sang before, I thought I knew what I was getting myself into. I have such a respect for people who do this for a living because it’s not easy. It’s physically taxing on top of emotionally taxing; you’re standing in the sun and you’re like ‘I can’t move.’ I really found a love for drumming and a love for marching and a love for all of my band mates. I saw the movie and I think it really does translate. That’s the whole point of being on a drumline, is to be a part of this world, a part of this society where people love and support you but they’re also passionate about what they’re doing. What do you have to say to “Drumline” fans who are on the fence about seeing this film? This movie is definitely for the fans [of the original], but it’s also for the new fans as well. When I saw “Drumline” I had no idea that bands did that; I’m from the West Coast and so we don’t go as hard as they do on the East Coast especially when it comes to black colleges. I think the original fans will feel that but the new fans will be introduced into a whole new world of drumming. What do you want people to learn from Dani? I want girls to learn that it’s so okay to be a Tomboy, it’s so okay to go after what you want no matter what people say and what people think. I think that’s exactly what this movie’s about. How is life for Alexandra Shipp right now? Life is pretty good, I couldn’t be any more happy. Six months ago I didn’t know if I was going to be able to pay my rent so I’m just happy that my hard work is paying off. Drumline: A New Beat airs TONIGHT 9/8c on VH1.

Daimler Trucks Faces Civil Rights Complaints, Employees Being Called Racist Names Like “N****r” “Boy” “Toby” And “Buckwheat”

Wow Daimler… Really? “No place for n—ers here” ? Daimler Trucks North America Being Investigated Over Discrimination Claims This place definitely seems like a terrible work environment for people of color . According to KGW reports : A investigation into Daimler Trucks North America has expanded after four more employees opened civil rights complaints against the Portland-based company. Nine Daimler employees from its North Portland facility have now filed complaints, in addition to the commissioner’s complaint filed by Brad Avakian, according to Charlie Burr, spokesman for the Bureau of Labor and Industries. The new complaints include allegations of discrimination based on age, race and ethnicity, including racial epithets and failure of management. They also include retaliation for voicing concerns, which can include firing, being moved to a different job or getting passed over for a promotion. Among the complainants is a Native American employee who “may have been forced to leave his position because of working conditions at the North Portland facility,” Burr said. According to his complaint, the Native American employee said he was harassed and pressured by his team leader to do extra work or work outside his job description because of his race. The team leader was also accused of pushing the employee against the hood of a truck, challenging him to a fight. That employee said he felt he had no choice but to resign. Another black employee said he was called racist names and challenged to fights, told to take heated conversations “to the boat ramp,” and given a drug test when he reported the incidents. Avakian’s commissioners complaint was filed September 25, on behalf of five employees who claimed to have been called racist names including “ni**er,” “boy,” “Toby” and “buckwheat.” One of those African-American employees also alleged that a white Daimler coworker threatened him with a noose and said he would drag the employee behind his car. On September 18, an African-American woman filed a similar complaint, alleging she was discriminated against based on her race, age and religion. The woman was allegedly called derogatory names in German and, after working at the ­­company for a year, a sign was placed on her chair that read “no place for ni**ers here.” She blamed Daimler’s “pro-German culture” on creating a hostile work environment for minorities. SMH. This is just terrible. Of course Daimler Trucks has released a statement claiming it doesn’t tolerate discrimination and trains employees to avoid it. But it sounds like some folks need more than training because clearly some violations have occurred. Taina Sohlman / Shutterstock.com

Rita Ora Hard Nipple in a Tennis Outfit of the Day

Rita Ora is so classy, all ready for the tennis match like she was a socialite white girl, when really she is of unknown race and probably not classy at all, because she seems like she’s straight gully from the UK who smashed her way to the top – in the even you don’t know what that means…let me translate it for you – she seems like she’s UK trash who fucked the right people and got an opportunity to come to North America where she worked her connections in efforts to become the next Rihanna and it is starting to work – even if it took a solid 3 years…her ass and tits remained big enough to guide her to where she needs to go…but then again, pretending to be hip hop, like Drake has proved, means you don’t have to be gutter at all, you can be white and Jewish and just pretend and the people will listen… Whether she actually plays tennis, or goes to country clubs is irrelevant, because I think this post is more about her walking around hard nippled…and I don’t think making it sport related, even if it is a sport I have a fetish for, is really relevant, but then again, I dress up my wife as a tennis ball sometimes and go down on her, so maybe a costume is key to a solid role play – what the fuck do I know…nothing…that is the fuck do I know..

Antonia Lacobescu Is The Next Big Thing!

According to my sources at Google, this serious hottie is Antonia Iacobescu , a former model who’s now a big pop star in Romania. And after checking out a few of her music videos, I definitely think Antonia has what it takes to become a household name in North America too (with a little help from a certain blogger/manager/motorboater). Granted, I haven’t actually watched any of the videos with the sound on yet, but it’s obvious that Antonia is extremely “talented.” And I’m usually pretty good at predicting these things. » view all 11 photos

Billie Faiers’ Bodaciousness WIll Make You Go NUTS

Since I’m from North America, I don’t know much about British TV shows, but judging by this recent Nuts Magazine TV issue, it’s time I start downloading a few of them. Anyway, here is Billie Faeirs showing off her amazing body. I’m not sure what show she’s on, but there are two big reason to watch it. And if my memory serves me right, Billie has a sister who is equally boobilicious, so that would be four big reasons. Talk about must see TV.

Jessica Wright Seems Very Talented

I’m not sure who this Jessica Wright chick is, I can’t be bothered to look this one up either, so I’m just going to throw her into the busty British babe category if it’s all the same to you guys. She seems to fit the profile, she’s got a decent looking face which she covers up with a tone of bronzer and makeup, she’s got two very special talents parked nicely on her chest and nobody in North America has the slightest clue who she is. I’d be willing to get to know her over a box of wine. Call me.
