**GREAT SIMPLE, YET NOT SO SIMPLE HOLIDAY SHOE!!! Would be fab complimented with a long wool coat or fur over a pretty holiday dress, updo, and sparkly jewelry**

UPDATE: Real Housewives of DC!!!!

Okay, so not many of you know about my earlier post about Bravo's Real Housewives series coming to DC. I have an update on the DC part of the popular series. The Real Housewives of DC was set to start filming Friday September 18, 2009 BUT there aren't any women of "color" included in the cast!!!!!!!! WHAT?!? You mean to tell me that with the two most powerful women in this city being African American women there were NO African American, Latina, Native American, Asian women to add to the lineup??? I am sooo disappointed in this I mean dang...did anyone place a call to Michelle Obama, or Mrs. Fenty (wife of DC mayor Adrian Fenty)????? Now, of course with DC being so small the casting of the series was open to women in the surrounding areas of Maryland and Virginia. STILL not ONE woman of color!!! NOT ONE African American woman....ugh!!!

So far at least 3 women have been outted to be Real Housewives of DC cast members: Lynda Erkiletian (ownere of The Artist Agency, DC modeling firm), Mary Amons (wife of capitalist Rich Amons) Michaele Salahi (wife of Fauquier County winery owner Tareq Salahi). That is 3 out of the 5....Hopefully they'll place some color/chocolate in there somewhere to represent CHOCOLATE CITY!!! I was excited when I found out my favorite tv series was coming to DC BUT not so much when I heard of the lack of diversity they were watering the city down with!!!!

BLOGGERS WILL WE WATCH??? WHAT DO WE THINK??

The weekend...

So, this weekend I was supposed to get a complete makeover. Well, things didn't exactly happen that way. I did get my hair done and it looks fab if I may say so myself. As for the minx (nails) I didn't get around to that. I'm a little cautious about going that route because i'm hearing from a couple of ladies that they begin to peel. Maybe that's a result of poor skill of the person who put theirs on, but as with anything new one has to question if that's just a con to the new item. I have seen some cute minx and was looking to get plain black and silver for my nails but @ $45-$50 a whop I don't need peeling. Maybe i'll just stick to my regular adventures of regular, drawn on nail art. I DIDN'T GET TO SEE CHRIS ROCK'S GOOD HAIR EITHER** My hairstylist's boo is in town so we'll just wait til he's gone to sip wine and look at black women chat about the dos dont's and rules of BLACK HAIR** DID ANYONE SEE IT? WHAT DID YOU THINK?? I did manage to go shopping and if there is any question to whether the recession is ending just take the asker to the mall....IT WAS PACKED THIS WEEKEND!!!! I didn't get much for myself besides some work clothes but what in the HAM SANDWICH was I smokin' to buy my not yet 15 year old brother $400 Prada High Tops** I have never spent that much money on any thing that wasn't for me but I pride myself on being giving as I am anything but a selfish biotch and suppose that was the reason I had $400 to just spend on sneakers for someone else....GIVE PEOPLE WITH AN OPEN HEART!!!!

I said all of that to say I enjoyed my weekend EVEN THOUGH all my goals weren't accomplished. However, if anyone has seen GOOD HAIR, tell me how you liked it and for those that haven't tried the minx, I will let you know ASAP how I like them when I get them. HAVE A BLESSED DAY & STRIVE TO BE A BLESSING TO SOMEONE ELSE**

OMG!!! BET IS BRINGING BACK THE GAME***

I hate BET but I LOVE "The Game"!!!!! The characters of that show are so true to life and easy to relate to!!! I mean minus the baby mama drama and the cheating (THANK GOD) my last relationship definitely mirrored that of Melanie and Derwin's. by the way "Derwin" made my heart melt this weekend!! It's always the great, black shows that get cut off the air first. I rushed home just to see reruns of the show from 2007 so I can't wait for new episodes to come on....YAY!!!! I'm so glad BET has chosen to stand up for Black Television and show quality programming!!!! CONGRATS TO BET AND THE CAST OF THE GAME**

Kourtney carry's pregnancy well, eh??

BUT SERIOUSLY, HER LEGS LOOK BETTER THAN SOME OF US NONPREGNANT WOMEN, MAYBE IT'S THE LOUBITINS SHE REFUSES TO STOP WEARING.....WORK IT KOURT!!!!!

& The Nobel Peace Prize goes to......(HISTORICAL MOMENT)

I am so happy right now for President Obama. At a time when he seems to be getting nothing but a hard time from law makers and not enough support from constituents, he has managed to do the honorable, that is; roll up his sleeves, hold his head up high and do his VERY BEST to get the job done. I couldn't let such a moment in history occur and not blog about it!!! My personal affairs, entertainment news and everything else WILL HAVE TO STEP ASIDE!!! My president, President Barack H. Obama is the recipient for the 2009 Nobel Peace Price!!!!! HE WASN'T EVEN MENTIONED AS ONE OF THE FRONT RUNNERS FOR THE AWARD. The President accepted the honorable award by saying, among other things that he is "...surprised and deeply humbled." The choice of President Obama could not have been an easy one to make as the Nobel Committee had a record number 172 people nominated for the award!!! HOWEVER, IT WAS A CHOICE THEY MADE!!!!! ONE THAT MAKES ME VERY HAPPY AND EVEN MORE PROUD TO BE AFRICAN AMERICAN, AN OBAMA SUPPORTER AND SUPPORTER OF A MORE PEACEFUL WORLD!!!!

The Following Quotes were said about the President and his Nobel Peace Prize win (CNN.com):

"The Nobel committee recognized Obama's efforts to solve complex global problems including working toward a world free of nuclear weapons."

"Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future," the committee said."

"His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population," it said."

The Weather is beautiful, it's payday, i'm healthy, All is well and happy & the President just won the Nobel Peace Prize.....I'd say that's an awesome start to the weekend!!!!!!

Even more interesting is the nominating process and selection process of the Nobel Peace Prize candidates and winners....Makes me even more proud that President Obama won!! Click here to read more about the selection process http://http//nobelprize.org/nomination/

If you could....

I read an article on the web this week about a guy who quit his Federal Government job so that he could follow his passion and blog for a living. He was making just shy of six figures annually BUT his heart wasn't in his job. He now blogs and receives donations and contributions as a result of his HUGE following. Actually 99% of his funding reportedly comes from advertisings!!!! Pretty good huh??? I KNOW I would do something like this if I could or the opportunity presented itself....WOULD YOU????
