Come on Mo, A Talk Show?!

2 Comments

I tried to give Mo’Nique  a chance with this one, but I couldn’t continue to allow my earsdrums to hear the ratchett sounds on my TV. LOL

Okay, let’s be honest here. I love Mo’Nique for many reasons; she is very confident black woman that embraces beauty in aspects.  I find her a role model to many full figured women, giving us hope in the Entertainment Industry. But…there is always a but.  I do  NOT feel that she should’ve been given a talk show. A comedy show maybe, but not a talkshow on BET that can be aired for all of “White America” to see.

For so long we have tried to break away from the stereotypical image of the “blackface” in Hollywood and I feel that she is not helping with it.  All the yelling and screaming and loud noises is okay for excitement, but you can’t be sitting at an interview yelling and carrying on, whatever happened to holding a decent conversation?  I honestly don’t think she can do that. It’s not about being funny, its about knowing when to control yourself in certain situations like a TALK SHOW.

I don’t know if you noticed but BET has really been following these stereotypical images of black women, you would never see Oprah on BET, Ever. I honestly don’t think BET has enough revenue to house a women like her. But more importantly, I have been shaking my head all week at Mo’Nique, just hoping that she will turn her act around or at least turn that microphone down so she doesnt blow America away.

Usher’s New Single “Papers” and his Relationship Drama

Leave a comment

Why must Usher make hit singles with his relationship problems? I couldn’t date him becase I’m afraid I’m going to be a #1 hit single by the time we break up, like seriously.  The Song has great melody but as I listen to the lyrics, he’s the same ol’ unhappy black man whining about unsatisfied he is with his women.  Get it together my brutha! What do ya’ll think?

FOX brings more laughs to….Black People?

Leave a comment

cleveland-show-tv-01

Really?…..I guess.  That’s exactly How I felt when watching “The Cleveland Show” for the first time yesterday, monday at 8:30 pm.  I am not much of a cartoon person because they just make me mad sometimes LOL But I will tell you that this cartoon that is supposed to be the “Black” family guy made me laugh just a tad bit.

According to LA Times The Show is dianosed as so: Following his divorce, Cleveland Brown (voiced by “Family Guy” producer Mike Henry) announces to his friends on “Family Guy” that he is taking his son, Cleveland Jr., and heading west to become a minor league baseball scout. But first he makes a stop in his hometown of Stoolbend, Va. There Cleveland gets sidetracked by his high school sweetheart, Donna (Sanaa Lathan), now divorced from the man she chose over Cleveland. Before long, Cleveland and his son have moved in with Donna, her teenage daughter, Roberta (Reagan Gomez-Preston), and 5-year-old son, Rallo (also Henry), who is a foul-mouthed stand-in for Stewie, channeling blaxploitation films rather than a British accent.

So did you know the Cleveland is played by a White guy? Yeah, Exactly. I can’t laugh too much because what does the producer of family guy know about being a black man living in certain situationns today. I’m sure he gets help on the script but something just doesn’t click to me.   He also sounds really mono-tone, which throws it all off.  If The Cleveland Show just worked on their dialogue, it would be a great ball of laughter for me.

Bald-Head Complex Is In

1 Comment

This fall I have noticed a lot of bald-headed women running around here. It’s not the “bald-headed scallywags” but more of the chick that just decided to cut their locks off and rely on their face.  Pretty faces I see, but as a survivor of the big cut, I too know the exhilirating feeling of chopping thy hair off.

I want to take the time to commend Solange Knowles for her Bald-Head complex.  I do know what made her do it, but I can tell you its one of the two things. 1) She was weaving herself away from her big sister Queen of the Lacefront aka Beyonce. I don’t blame her though, I mean poor Solange is only known because of her. 2) She probably didnt have too much hair to begin with. And usually women who want to get rid of their weaves and wigs will just chop everything off. Nothing is wrong with that, but at least she’s not frontin. You feel me?

Now, I don’t think Solange has a very STRONG face for a bald-head nor does she have the confidence, but if she uses some “smize” she might pull it off and the confidence can be found.  Oh yeah, props for the Honey Mag Cover. (stole it from her twitter icon, thanks lol)

Ode to Life

Leave a comment

I feel I owe life something. Maybe its a soft embrace or even a miss. sigh. Can’t figure out what it is that keeps lurking in my mind. Mesmorizing thoughts that keeps telling me that I’m right. To do anything that I want to do. There is nothing and no one but Life itself. Telling me to move forward. breath foward. and see forward. But I can’t move. Stop haunting me now. Stop bringing me the blues. Stop making realizes that if it wasn’t for Life….I would probably do this ode. to. you.

 

Kink Curly Curling Custard

Leave a comment

I discovered this product last year during my transitions stage, I believe my hair was an inch or so and I wanted to do something with my hair.  It wasnt working with just the wash and go, and there was perm still left on my ends.  I was on youtube one day, and came across millions of videos on “Kinky Curly Curling Custard”.

Curling

 

Don’t fret.  This is not a jerry-curl activating solution you can find at your local beauty supply.  The asians arent allowed to carry these natural hair producats.  This bottle is about $25 dollars and you can find it online. I’ts a good investment though, trust me.

You are to wash your hair and condition it then when its soaking wet, you apply the custard to your hair and finger it through. After that, you let it air dry for the time being and voila! Managable curls you never knew you had.

I love DC 057

It’s about time we see Plus-Size

naked plus size models glamour

It was reported a month ago on AOL that the November issue of Glamour Magazine did a photoshoot on Plus-Size models.  As you can see here, there are lovely shaped women of different shades and sizes, but all representing real women.  I think its about time that they start putting real women into the spotlight. It’s nothing wrong with being plus-size, Especially since America is constently changing everyday.  This generation of women are more voluptuous and “thick” then what my parents used to be back in the 60’s or 70’s.

I’m not a big fan of Glamour magazine but I will be picking up this issue to see what writer Genevieve Field has to say about obssession with weight, fashion, and model size!

Bitches and Fashion: Fall Reality Series Kicks Off

Leave a comment

475x220Yes, I love it. I wasn’t a big fan last season, but after watching the first episode I knew I would be hooked.

Let me start by saying for those of you who do not watch MTV, it is a reality series called “The City” based off Whitney (2nd girl from the left) who used to play on “The Hills”. She moves to New York City and lands a great job where she that she is juggling with hopes to producing her new fashion line.  Along the way she ecounters people who help her or hate on her dreams throughout the season.

The first episode was all about the female dog, BITCH. Excuse my language but there is no other way to describe the new chick Roxxy and Olivia.  First of all, Roxxy comes to New York  just to fee load off Whitney and of course Whitney is not going to see it because she’s too NICE.

Olivia is the 2nd BITCH, she clearly gets promoted to accessories with ELLE Magazine and immediately thinks that she is running game.  Little does she know, the publicist shuts her DOWN as well as ELLE’s director. AH HA!

If you missed the first episode you can catch “The City” tuesday Nights at 10:30 p.m
