Angela - Skillz blog

So, Angela Simmons posted this on her blog.  Read and be surprised:

Hello Global Grinders!

It has been a while since my last post but I’ve been super busy traveling all over the place..sheessh :)

Now that I have a moment to sit down and reflect, I wanted to talk to you about something I have recently noticed. I am a lil surprised at the number of people that seem to disapprove of the relationship with my boyfriend. I find this reality to be kind of hard to accept. There are times when I notice people giving us long hard stares and those stares are usually from my own people!

Honestly, I wish everyone could benefit from the beauty that can come from experiences that happen outside of your own comfort zone. It is truly a beautiful thing that can add so much to your life.

Give it a shot and you can learn so much from a person you never thought you’d talk to or have something in common with. I’m not just talking about dating but about all types of relationships.

Sometimes society makes it hard for us to be comfortable enough in our own skin to embrace others who are different.

I am a firm believer that we are all the same.

Basically what I’m saying is love everyone. Rise above the hate.

I don’t feel like this subject gets enough attention, so I thought I would share this with my GG family.

Ok, well I’m done preaching! I’m going back to work…

Love ya :)
Angela

Wow, this is rather unexpected.  Ang and Skillz got haters?  Seriously?  Aren’t they the sweetest couple ever?  It’s just silly to make their relationship a racial issue.  And yes, we are all the same and love isn’t limited to some groups.  People should be able to love anyone they want.

Pastry Shoes co-founder, Angela Simmons, began dating Skillz, a Dallas-based producer, since last year and they’ve been nothing but cute with each other.  The Simmons sisters are both in loving relationships -Angela and Skillz, Vanessa Simmons and Mike Wayans- and both sisters look happy and fabulous.

Tell us, Pastryheads, what’s your thoughts on Angela Simmons and Skillz’s inter-racial relationship?

Baby Phat VS Pastry: Who Wins?

Add to GlobalGrind!

So we all know Pastry and Baby Phat are kinda related because Pastry is owned by Vanessa and Angela Simmons, and Baby Phat is owned by their aunt, Kimora Lee Simmons.  But today we think they’re almost too closely related.  Take a look at this upcoming Baby Phat sneaker held by Baby Phat’s newest spokesperson, Kristina DeBarge.

Now, don’t you feel it’s a little bit similar to the Pastry Black Current Vulc Glam Pie Hi-tops?

Which one would you rock, Pastryheads?

a.  Sorry, aunt Kimora, The Baby Phat sneaker is nice, but I’ll be staying true to Nessa and Ang, and my Pastry shoes.
b.  Hey actually this time I would like to try something new. Baby Phat it is today.
c.  I’d rock both kicks because they are just equally awesome!

Family According to The Simmons Sisters

Add to GlobalGrind!

They do everything together, from growing up to forming their own shoe line, Pastry shoes, and starring in their own reality show, Daddy’s Girls.  Vanessa and Angela Simmons’ lives seem to go really well these days, and here they are now sharing their thoughts about being successful and how family and sisterhood plays a big part in the process.

Vanessa and Angela sure have become the role models of teenagers everywhere.  Although they have divorced parents, both are blessed with wonderful stepparents and do note Angela’s thought:

“To me, though, that’s [having a big family] not the only thing that can get you success. Say you don’t have a big family, you’re gonna have to cling on to the ones that you do have and who will always be there for you and go to them for advice.  I mean, if you only have your grandma, that person will be there with you throughout everything. Because I know some people don’t have the luxury of having a large family, but we just happen to have one, so yeah, it’s definitely been a help.”

Do you agree with Angela, Pastryheads?

Angela Simmons Shops With Skillz

The Simmons sisters are serious about their relationships and they’re always pleasant to look at whenever they’re with their boos.  Angela Simmons was spotted with her Dallas-based producer boyfriend, Skillz, as the couple went shopping the other day.  Ang looked fab with that boots and Chanel tote bag.

If the newly-leaked video is really a teaser of the new season of Daddy’s Girls, then don’t we all hope Skillz will make an appearance in an episode or two?  Afterall, Vanessa Simmons’ boyfriend Mike Wayans got enough camera time -not to mention a quality time with Dad Rev. Run.  Maybe Skillz can spend some time with Rev. Run in a studio, jamming!  Won’t that be a great idea?

Angela and Vanessa Simmons Work Hard, Play Hard!

Add to GlobalGrind!

You might rarely see Angela and Vanessa Simmons hard at work.  They work, but they make it look so easy and effortless.  Today you’ll find out their secret:  they work and have fun at the same time!  Check out this newly-leaked footage of a Pastry meeting from SoJones.com and you’ll know why.

Okay, you might be busy staring at Vanessa and Angela’s antics, but admit it, you were probably distracted by all those new Pastry shoes on the table, especially that shiny silver hi-tops!

Anyway, enough with the drooling over the shoes, Pastryheads.  What do YOU do when you’re all stressed out after too much studying or working?

a. Crank up the volume and dance it out
b. Sing at the top of your lungs
c. Sleep it off

Angela and Vanessa Simmons at the Bahamas!

Add to GlobalGrind!

The Simmons Sisters spent last weekend in the Bahamas, chillin’ at the beach with their uncle Russell Simmons and cousins Ming and Aoki.  Also seen at the trip was Julie Henderson, uncle Russell’s supermodel girlfriend and she seems to get along really well with Ming and Aoki.  All girls looked fabulous and the weekend must be a great one.  Check out pictures taken by Uncle Russell.

a.  The Bahamas
b.  Bora Bora
c.  Hawaii
