Nine West, Elegy.

Remember back when Tim Allen had that show Home Improvement and his show inside the show was called "Tool Time?" And Al was his co-star. I never watch Home Improvement on Nick @ Nite because I'm upset they don't show A Different World but I do sometimes watch Family Matters... and maybe Roseanne. I love Roseanne's family's white trash-ness. She loves it. I love it because that was a real white family from the midwest-they weren't all wholesome or cheesy. They had real fights and real issues. Granted some characters were extremes (Sandra Bernhardt's Nancy) but they dealt with real personalities in my opinion. I don't want to bore you with memories of my Nick @ Nite adventures, I wanted to show the world my newest shoe obsession. In case…

Fatherhood Commercials

Lifestyle

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A2Ap3DyvLg&feature=related I love this commercial everytime I see, because its just so cute, without being too cheesy like those say no to drug public service announcements. I caught myself sitting on the couch one day singing, "those boys are much too much." I like the fact that this shows a father daughter relationship, because those relationships are extremely important. Especially for black women, too many of us don't have father figures at home. I think that all girls; white, black, asian, indian-whatever their ethnicity need strong male role models. It is these relationship that shape the relationships that we have with males for the rest of our lives. You find some women looking to fill a fatherly void and you sometimes wonder, "Well, what is she doing with him," or…

My Movie Review

Lifestyle

Disclaimer: This is solely my opinion and I don't represent any one elses views or have any facts to back up my opinion... So this weekend I went to see Jack Bauer, I mean Keifer Sutherland in the movie Mirrors. And I have to say that over the past few years I have lost faith in scary movies. So many have been . . . whack for lack of a better word. I can't pretend that there haven't some jewels: The Saw series The Hills Have Eyes The Ring (only the first one) But so many have been remakes of past movies or of popular Asian movies. I mean, movies in general have just lacked any sparkle of creativity. in the past 5 years there have been more remakes than…

Broadway Revival

Lifestyle

So yesterday while I flipping through my September issue of Essence magazine while working out, I came across a one-page article about India Aire starring in a revival of Ntozake Shange's "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf." I was so thrilled I damn near fell off the machine. I personally have not read the book, but I have heard how inspiriting it is, and what I have read from Ntozake I have loved. She is phenomenal. I think I am going to grab a copy of this book from amazon the next time I purchase a book. I have to keep an eye on this production because I absolutely have to see this. I really wanted to catch the all black revival of Cat…

The Time for Democracy is NOW!!

Mis-Adventures

So, I joined a contest on one of my fellow blogger site, A Phone Sex LIfe, so now EVERYONE has to go vote for me. My entry is under the name of Desire. In the contest you had to "Describe the ultimate sexual experience that anyone would love." And I think I did pretty darn well... I haven't read the other entries, but I will. And even if you don't vote for me, which you should, at least vote for someone so that it makes it interesting!! p.s. I need to find some cute catchy ending phrase, like how on Gossip girl, she's always like "XOXO Gossip Girl." Damn... any ideas.. Maybe I'll hold a contest and we can vote on the best phrase .. Interesting idea .. I'll definitely…

Granny’s Got a Gun!

Lifestyle

Granny ain't no joke!! I swear my grandmother would do something like this! This here is Leda Smith of Point Marion, PA and she don't play. Leda was home chilling, probably watching reruns of Golden Girls on Lifetime or Judge Judy when someone broke into her house. So Leda went and got her gun(a .22 caliber revolver), which she had because there had been a string of robberies in her area, and busted that two-bit burglar. Wait! It doesn't stop there! She then forced HIM to call the police while she kept him in her sights! She said, "I said, 'what are you doing in my house?' He just kept saying he didn't do it." Yeah, you didn't do it, but yet you're here underneath the head of my gun.…

Sandcastle Disco Baby!!!!

Lifestyle

I may be one of 5 people who are looking forward to Solange's album, Sol-Angel and the Hadley Street Dreams. I loved the first single, "I Decided" and I just saw this video this morning, and I like i too. In certain parts of the video you REALLLLLYYYY see the family resemblance between her & her ever famous sister Beyonce. I love how Solange plays on the shit people talk about her, in the video she's singing atop a can of Solange, Can I sing soup... amusing. And she has this freestyle out to the industry, "Signed Sincerely" which I really like. So, she has found a fan in me... And because of that, on August 26th, I will download her album with glee... I mean, I did think of…

(Th)ink about it!

Mis-Adventures

**Image Removed** I was browsing online looking for some cool political cartoons because I saw one by the exit I usually use at my dreadful job. And in my online search I found this one, which made me laugh, which is what a comic strip should do or at least inspire thought. This one is drawn by Keith Knight and his strip is called (Th)ink. Its supposed to tackle the social and political issues impacting communities of color. Ok, cool, I thought he'd have some dope stuff. But i was a little disappointed in what he had on the site. I mean, don't get me wrong, I could see he was talented, but I just felt that he wasn't taking an original enough spin on things. But this one here,…
