Bridget Kelly: BP3 Tour Diaries // What's in YOUR Wallet?



So ... we're not sure how many of you ladies have been keeping up with Rap-Up.com's Tour Diary with Roc Nation artist/songwriter, Bridget Kelly ... but we thought we'd take it upon ourselves to bring you up to speed on some things ...


Rap-Up TV caught up with rising star Bridget Kelly when she stopped in Los Angeles for Jay-Z’s “BP3” tour last week. ... Check out the plush digs where she eats, breathes, and sleeps when she’s not performing “Empire State of Mind” with her boss nightly.

We were going back through the archives ... and got really into BK. She's totally dope and personable ... and making some really awesome moves right now. We found her pretty @uthentic.

SO VERY CUTE ... was her discussion of her daily must-haves on tour. Catch a brief piece of it below ...

One thing is for sure, life on the road can be long and boring, but I’m good as long as I have:

1. A dope pair of headphones – Some big ones to tune everything out.
2. My BlackBerry – My link to the world!
3. My passport – In case London calls…lol!
4. A couple pairs of shades – My future is looking prettybright.
5. Flatiron – To keep the mane in tact.
6. St. Tropez bronzer – To keep the skin glowing.


Ok ... so I must admit ... we wanted to play TOO! I mean we're movers and shakers over here! Trust us ... :)

so ... of course we emptied out our purses.


to you ... from e a s e ...

e a s e.e living can only be achieved through 11 items. Call it my mantra, but all the items below help create the @uthenticity for your viewing and experiencing pleasure.
  • Cell Phone>>how else can i maintain being connected to important folk? Needless to say, sometimes i wish i had another just to separate the many non-personal calls that come through to my personal number, BUT in the meantime, my little palm is one of the forces behind the @uthentic madness you seem to enjoy regularly ;)
  • lip gloss>>this will definitely show you how girly i am, but i canNOT go without the gloss...and the one pictured is my longtime bff called M.A.C Lipgelee. She's always right on time when the pucker matters!
  • leather journal>>because my thoughts are always brewing and even though many i do not express verbally, writing down thoughts and moments that deserve documentation are extremely important. Everyone is not a writer, yet everyone has something to say.
  • wallet>>ummm, that's how the business gets done, ha! or how i eat/live/survive!
  • ipod/earphones>>yea, music is a necessity for all the things listed above. I talk with music, put lip gloss on, write, pay for stuff allll with the tunes on play. Currently digging Wale, always Thievery Corporation, J*Davey for the fiesty side and Sade for the relaxed e a s e.
  • glasses>>for the early morning and late night driving!
  • business cards>>because networking is sexy. enough said. everyone should have one.
  • check book>>makes the payment official ;) and organization of the $$ is where its at!
  • lotion>>because being dry isn't hot at all! lol
  • pen>>to write down the thoughts, appointments and transactions that help make my life more interesting by the day!
  • chapstick>>the plan B to the #2....or the inbetween moments when #2 is out ;) and i'm off to the store to get more.



to you ... from me ...


well ... i've recently done some downsizing ... mainly because i'm either on the road, or in an airport, or in a meeting ... or ... well you, get it it! i'm always somewhere ...

so here's what's usually with me ...

1. iphone ... it's eliminated my journal, mp3 player, and hp mini that would have normally been here. i mean ... really ... you know it does everything.
2. flip cam (that's what's in the pink case) ... you know kholi kam is always in full effect
3. receipts ... i'm a stickler for them ... with retail therapy being my ONLY therapy these days ... i have to leave myself the option to change my mind ... an option any girl should have, right?
4. Corregidora ... what?!? i'm in a PhD program ... this could have been any book ... but there's ALWAYS a book! lol
5. Orbitz ... i've developed a mild addiction thanks to a homie/lover/friend
6. jump drive ... sometimes i need to reach back in the vault ... and do some work that was begun long before we got this iphone.
7. an assortment of lip glosses (what?!? you've seen my lips ... they're absolutely to large to be NONlustrous. lol. cuz that's a word. -_-)
8. burt's bees ... for hands and lips. nj wind and weather is hard for a pimp.
9. digi cam ... for the same reason the flip cam is always with me ... i like to capture things! like hearts. and great lighting! lol.
10. the only louis vuitton thing i've ever had ... (and this may be this way for awhile) ... my change purse turned make-up case. .... what?!? i've never seen anything hold mascara, lipgloss, receipts, the cards and cash (as you see pictured), and cough drops SO WELL!!!
not pictured: my 32 oz. pink water bottle and 3 bottles of daily vitamins (a multi, green tea, and a b-complex ... what?!? gotta keep it healthy ... and energized. :) ... oh! and the SECOND phone for fam and downtime ... NOT business ... it's clearly being used to take the pic. sighh)



so anyways ladies?!? Are you on the move?!? of course you are ... you're an @uthentic chick!

Well what's in your wallet?!? Or purse?!? or pocket?!? or backpack ... or however you roll, authentically?!?

Let us know! leave a comment ... send us a pic @ authentic dot famc @ gmail dot com ... or post a link!

until we see you again, stay @uthentic.
