~WATCH THIS~Taking You Way Back~Michael Jackson Motown 25th Anniversary Performance

You can't deny this is one of the most electrifying performances ever. Michael continued to set himself apart from any other entertainer when he performed at Motown's 25Th Anniversary Show. We will never see another performer like him. Ne-yo and Usher are two artists that try and mimic his style. They try and dance like him. Listen to Ne-yos new CD " The Year Of The Gentleman" some of his new songs sound just like Michaels singing style. But nah they will never ever get it like Michael once had it. He was the man. Michael was music and music belonged to Michael. What the hell happened to him? Lord have mercy, well watch this performance and you will remember why we loved him and his music alot. ENJOY.......

FLY GIRL STYLE ~ Mary J Blige

MJB better known as THE QUEEN of HIP HOP SOUL, and she deserves it. Giving us great songs we love and can relate too. Mary has always been a fashion trendsetter. The blond hair was a bit much for me at first( I guess that's entertainment), now I love the look on her. She is definitely ghetto fabulous. Always looking good. She has changed her style over the years from the "round the way girl" and now she gives us nothing but glamour. Mary always looks great. Check out some of the hairdos she has worn over the years. Her hair-dos are what made us want to watch her even more. See the photos below and watch how she has changed to become the beautiful woman we see today.

~WATCH THIS~History In The Making

In exactly 3 days history will be made. You all had better get out and VOTE. Black folk especially. I am so excited. If Obama wins he will be the 1st black President of the USA and if McCain wins well we're just going to be in trouble. Well then Palin will become the 1st woman vice President of these United States. Whomever is victorious on Tuesday November 4Th, they will not be able to win without our votes. I think this presidential election, more than any other election is very important not only because Obama is seeking the highest job in the land, but because we need CHANGE and he's bringing it!!!!!.

So many people as we can see are not ready for change,let alone a black prez in the white house. It's inevitable he will be the next Chief Commander. So just embrace the change. I mean you have people plotting to kill him, saying he's anti-American, he's a Muslim, not a christian, hanging images of him from trees and the list goes on and on. WOW all this because he's black. STOP IT AMERICA HE IS GOING TO BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!.



I started this post because I think we all know that there will be some problems at some polling sites for sure. I hope whatever happens that folk don't get discouraged and leave. Cast that vote. Make sure you have the proper ID, don't wear any t-shirts or buttons with a candidates name on it within 50 feet of the polls. Before you go vote make sure you're registered and you can vote. Check out this site to see if you are a registered voter.

From Essence.Com:
Dial 866-OUR-VOTE to connect with lawyers and trained volunteers, or leave a message for local election officials at 866-MYVOTE1.

PHONE the Local Campaign Office of the candidate you support, or check your candidate's Web site for information, Barackobama.com or Johnmccain.com.

Do Something Good For The Cure With Lean Cuisine

I've been a little busy but I wanted to post something I came across from Lean Cuisine.I know they have the food you love to eat, and now they have these beautiful insulated designer lunch bags to carry the food in. These bags are so pretty. Pink is fast becoming my favorite color. The bags sell for $9.95 and for each bag purchased,Lean Cuisine is donating $ 5.00 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. So far $304,335 has been donated.

While you're there to make your purchase, check out the site. There are some really nice things on the site for you. Articles on how to help lower your risk for breast cancer, and how weight can increase your risk for breast cancer. Of course there is a breast self exam, which most women should familiarize themselves with. You can even sign up for monthly self exam reminders. I really liked the Inspiration Path. On this path you can create a stone for someone you may know who has survived or someone who is battling the disease now. Maybe you don't know anyone and you just want to offer some kind words. I really think that the path is very special touch.

Just another way we can make a contribution to finding a cure and look cute doing it too!!!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month ~ Save Lids To Save Lives

I love yogurt, and I know you do too. Well if so here is a way we can help to continue the fight against breast cancer during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. When you shop pick up Yoplait Yogurt. They are having another annual drive with the campaign "save lids to save lives" and every lid you send in they will donate 10 cents to Susan G Komen for the Cure,up to $1.5 million. It seems like a fun way to help an important cause and to eat healthy at the same time. Yogurt has alot of health benefits, so this is good for everyone. I liked the site very much. I love the pink they choose or is that fuchsia? It's a very pretty page. Well anywhoo back to the site. There are desktop wallpapers, posters you can print, buddy icons and ecards to help get the word out.

You can join a team or start your own. There are 2 celebrity teams. Sheryl Crow heads up one of the teams. Get together with your family, friends, neighbors and co- workers and start eating up awhole lot of yogurt.

One thing truly inspiring are the videos of women who share their experiences with breast cancer. Survivors, women who have given all they can to beat breast cancer and not have breast cancer beat them. Make sure that you check out the site and definitely the videos.


OPI The world Leader In Professional Nail Care has dedicated a 2008 edition of a nail color for the cause called Pink of Hearts. $25,000 will be donated from the sales to Susan G Komen for the Cure. $5,000 will also be donated to Rethink Breast Cancer.











Payless ShoeSource will continue its Taking Steps to Fight Breast Cancer program by selling breast cancer awareness bracelets and limited-edition pink ribbon slippers. One hundred percent of the net profits* earned from the sale of the bracelet and $1.30 from the sale of each pair of slippers will be donated to Komen for the Cure with a minimum guaranteed donation of $100,000. The products will be available for purchase at all of their stores nationwide and on www.payless.com beginning September 25, 2008 and continuing through February 28, 2009.

We may not have millions or even thousands of dollars to donate, but companies are giving us ways to make a donation that counts toward a cause we all want to beat. So support some of your favorite companies and the products they have to offer and lets get breast cancer where it belongs; NOWHERE!!!

My Kick Off For Breast Cancer Awareness Month

I'm sure you know that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. So I want to post all this month anything that deals with breast cancer. I have already posted about a study for sisters where one has or had breast cancer.I hope you get the chance to read it. If you haven't then do so. Whatever information you find here pass it on to others. Remember knowledge is power.

There are so many websites you can visit that will help you get all the information you need. If you have just found out you have breast cancer, if you are battling breast cancer now, and for those who have survived breast cancer. I really hope that a cure will be found soon. So many women are losing their lives to this horrible disease.

Hopefully, in the next 31 days of October I will be able to help someone who just wants to seek information about this scary disease. Breast Cancer is hard on everyone especially the families. I have a friend whose sister died of breast cancer and I know she still hurts to this day. She and her family are in my prayers always. I know how much her family has changed because of it and because of it hopefully she will be able to help another person or family get through their fight with the strength and knowledge she has gained through her experience. Lord knows it was never easy.

So lets get out there, do what we can and spread the word about prevention. READ and SHARE what you know. Help someone who is going through her fight. Go with her to appointments, shop for her, cook for her, watch her kids for a couple of hours, tell her she can do it. Just be there for her. It's a long fight ahead but, WE together can beat this. I know we can!!!

This post is dedicated to a dear friend, Sherry whose older sister Margo Ifill lost her battle to breast cancer.

Proud To Be An American

I am so proud right now, I mean really proud. Where do I begin. I have always been proud to be an American(it's as prestigious as being a student at Harvard, joke). It's all because of the election process, where anyone who can make a change, has a chance. I really believe that americans of all races will vote for the woman or african-american man they really feel can bring about change to our great nation. This presidental election has been history in the making from the start. A woman and an african-american man both running for the democratic nomanation for President of the United States Of America, what's next? And, now Barack Obama has accepted the nomination for his party. And he will win.

I'm listening for the 1st time, The Next President of The USA accepting the democratic nomanation for president.



Never in my lifetime did I ever think this would happen. I'm sure my mom never thought she would seee this either and I know she along with others her age are so happy. When I say that I mean everybody not just black folk. I really believe he will win. Not because he is black, but because I feel he is what this nation needs. We want change.

Here's a little something I found on BET's webpage:

Kanye West is bittersweet about Barack Obama’s candidacy for president. West calls it “an incredible time” but he says, “I wish my mamma could have seen this day.” West was in Denver at the Democratic National Convention. He and Jamie Foxx performed a song dedicated to Obama at a party sponsored by Bono and the Recording Industry Association of America. Onstage Foxx declared, “With Obama, we make history.” Meanwhile, Oprah Winfrey, an early supporter of Obama, backing him even before the Democratic primaries got under way last year, said she cried her “eyelashes off” when Obama accepted the Democratic nomination. She said Obama’s speech was the “most powerful thing” she has ever experienced.

So as you can see americans of all races, ages, and social backgrounds want change. We want Barck Obama for president!!!!

Marion Jones Released From Prison

I'm sure you've noticed on my blog I have photos of black women we should admire, unfortunately there is one woman who I wish I could have on my blog. Marion Jones. I was so proud of this young woman. I mean she was the fastest woman in the world. I along with others rooted for her during the 2000 Sydney, Australia Olympics. She was Americas darling. We knew if any woman could win all gold medals in all 5 events they were competing in, it was Marion Jones. She won 3 gold and 2 bronze medals.


She was everywhere after the Olympics. I remember she had an ad with American Express. Every time I saw that ad I would watch it as if it were the first time. I felt so proud. Another thing I admired about her was her physique. She always looked so well toned. Her muscles were evident but not to manly. She just looked so strong and she was wonderful to watch sprinting on the track.




I didn't know she was under investigation for steroid use. I only heard about her troubles when she admitted to it. WOW, was I disappointed along with millions whose trust she betrayed. Why would any athlete feel that the public wants to watch and admire a fraud and a liar? Well we know why they do it.MONEY,FORTUNE,FAME,ENDORSEMENTS AND MORE MONEY. I'm glad some of them are getting caught for duping as into believing in their "superior performance" as a God given talent. When all the while their doping to enhance their performance, just so they can become the best in their sport.
Look at her body. She is lean,and muscles toned. She looks great. Why would we not think all of this was due to hard work?


Yes, Marion you messed up big time. We all have at some point in our lives. Unfortunately, yours was for the whole world to see. Now all your phony achievements are going to be cleared from the record books as if you were never a part of track and field. Well at least the honest, hard working, side of the sport. I hope you use your experience to help young athletes who are going to be seduced by the limelight and glory as you were. Help save lives and spirits by telling your story. This time tell the whole truth.

Diabetes Symptoms & Diabetes Symptom Checker

Remember not long ago I said that I had to be careful not to turn this blog into an entertainment only blog? Well now I have to be careful not to turn it into a health blog. Let me say also,that I can't help when I see something I know as black folk we need to see, hear, and read I like to share the information. So I want to mention a little about a disease that of course is affecting the black community: DIABETES. I have had 2 family members suffer from diabetes. The complications that this disease caused them were terrible. My first cousin on my maternal side had suffered from diabetes for as long as I could remember. She had problems with her eyesight, she was in and out of the hospital,she had to inject herself with insulin everyday. It was sad she was a very young woman,health issues related to diabetes eventually took her life. My maternal grandmother also suffered from diabetes. She had one of her legs amputated.
DIABETES is a serious condition that needs to be monitored. The American Diabetes Association says that "diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play roles".

Here are 5 symptoms you should pay attention to:

1) frequent urination
2) unexplained weight loss
3) tingling in hands and feet
4) sores that won't heal
5) excessive thirst

Use this symptom checker to see if you are at risk Diabetes Symptom Checker.


Diabetes can also led to other serious health issues:

1) heart disease
2) gum disease
3) stroke
4) kidney problems
5) nerve damage
6) blindness

To find out what causes diabetes and much more you need to check out Diabetes.Org. Once you're there look for the diabetes risk calculator. Take it and find out your risk!!!

I really wish that as a people we take better care of ourselves and our families. I don't take care of myself as I should but I'm going to start. I want to live a long and healthy life. I hope that we all do.

Black Women Broaden Your Horizons~~~PLEASE

There are sooooo many reality shows on tv these days. Too many to count and keep up with. I will admit I do watch a couple of them. The primary function of these shows I see, well I do believe is to show how stupid some people are and give us something to laugh at. Have mercy, I laugh at these characters all the time. Remember Tiffany Pollard aka "New York" from the show "Flavor Of Love" with Flavor Flav? She also had 2 shows of her own "I Love New York" 1 and 2. She'll always have a show or appear in one. Every Since I started laughing at her I never stopped. I will admit I enjoy watching her perform. Every week she shows how ignorant she is, that she has no class, uneducated and just plain stupid. Truly, she makes black women look bad, but I can't stop watching her. She is entertainment all by herself.



She obviously makes alot of money for VH1, because they gave her yet another show. This is her third with the network. "NY Goes To Hollywood" is the name of her new endeavor. This series is about her trying to become a serious actress,yeah right.I really don't want to bash any woman trying to get hers, and I especially would love to support every black woman in her success.



I don't catch it on the nights it originally airs. I usually watch the show online. It's the show I watched today, the 3rd episode that I am writing this post about. Like I said she is ridiculous. First, the way she wears her hair, makeup and clothes is a personal choice so I won,t comment on how she looks.

In this episode she gets a commercial shooting for a Japanese energy drink. Her manager tells her to do some research on Japanese culture. She obviously, thinks that everyone who is Asian, may be Japanese. So to do her research she goes to a cleaners where the woman there is Korean. She really doesn't know that Japan and Korea are not the same place. Black women let me say it again, broaden your horizons. Learn something it doesn't have to be alot, but at least the basics. Then she goes to a nail salon asking if they are Japanese. Of course they aren't. It seems as if even they were making fun of her. Wow, why not just go online and do some research or to a library where there are books? Too easy, huh? Maybe it's me but if I wanted to do research on a culture there are museums, art galleries, maybe even that countries embassy. No she goes to store owners for help. If you would do the same let me know.

She is willing to work hard on her commercial shoot. I will give her that much. During the shooting she was professional enough. It seemed she wanted to do well and show everyone she could do it. I hope that she does well and that I sincerely mean. I just hope she broadens her horizons, cuz she needs it.
You have got see all of her episodes and then you will see she is funny as all hell.

As black women we really should watch how we are potrayed and when its not right we need to be as loud as we can about our disapproval. I don't feel as if I am ever being judged by how other black women act, but I do want all black women to get the resepect we desrve.

So the moral to this post is Black Women broaden your horizons...PLEASE!!!!!
