Slim Thug: 'Black Women Need To Stand By Their Man'

I'm not going to spend to much time on this topic only because it is the topic of conversation every where else. But for those of you who are not in the know, I'll take the time to bring you up to speed. Rapper, producer Slim Thug interviewed with Vibe magazine and expressed his thoughts on black men and women.

"Most single Black women feel like they don’t want to settle for less. Their standards are too high right now. They have to understand that successful Black men are kind of extinct. We’re important. It’s hard to find us so Black women have to bow down and let it be known that they gotta start working hard; they gotta start cooking and being down for they man more. They can’t just be running around with their head up in the air and passing all of us."

Some of you may strongly disagree with his views, but I have to agree with him whole heartily. In the Bible Adam was persuaded by Eve to eat fruit from the forbidden Tree of Life. There are many stories in the Bible where the women where used a source of enlightenment and much help in hard times for the men of the Bible through their own acts of hardships and persecutions, and with much reward in the end. It's a known fact that woman are smarter than man, and with that being said we have to build our men up and have their backs just as much as we expect for them to have our backs. We are all flawed beings with much more to learn from each other and God than we could ever learn alone. If this is not the foundation for any relationship, than why would one's wedding vows include "for better or for worse". Statistics make it clear that not allot of people understand this thus the high divorce rate. I'm not saying to lower your standards because there is a standard for each on of us. But each individual on each "status level" is just as flawed as the next with not one sin being greater than the other. That's just me and that's all I can give you on that.

Ke$ha - TiK ToK

Today was my first time listening to the lyrics of this song. It brought back that old feeling when my girls and I would turn on that one song to get us amped and ready to hit the clubs and party like it was 1999. Those days are gone but this tune is fun and for those of you still rocking it out! Enjoy this beautiful Friday Evening and be safe!

Lady Gaga

The fashion world is up in arms today over Lady Gaga destroying her 2nd Hermes Birkin bag. An Hermes bag can set you back $20,000 if you are fortunate enough to already be set ahead of the 20 thousand mark. I can understand the distressed emotions of my fellow fashionistas, but in the ever so intriguing mind of Gaga, this should come as no surprise. To her money is nothing and definitely not worth the praises that we give to the material items money affords us. For $20,000 I better be able to take that bag through the storm and back.

Elin Woods Means Business

This topic of discussion has been the elephant in the room for months since Tiger's dirty indiscretions where layed out for all of the world to judge. I like to consider my self a person of non-judgement and more so opinionated, so I of course will share my opinions on this sad dissolution of marriage.

I have prayed for this family since news first broke of the drama. I really hoped that maybe Elin would be able to forgive Tiger, demand individual and family counseling, and come out of this situation stronger than they where before they jumped the broom. I know you are thinking I'm crazy, but you never know. I'm not trying to fool anyone into thinking that I would follow my own advise, but it would have feel good to receive such sound advise no matter my decision. What I do know is that if I where in her shoes and I allowed God to take hold of it all and guide us, I have no doubt that it would have worked out for the best. I'm just not there, and obviously Elin isn't either.

Elin is not taking this dissolution lightly and is taking Tiger to the cleaners. Reports state that Elin is demanding $750 million from the divorce settlement, full custody of their two children, and refuses to sign a confidentiality clause that will prevent her from writing a book or doing any interviews about their relationship. I don't see any good coming from all this for either one of them and especially for the kids. I pray that this doesn't get any nastier than what it already is and everything can end civil on a civil.

Take Note

Clearly Jay Z and Beyonce are taking note from famed couple Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. This is what power couples look like. Strong, blessed and highly favored! The group attended a play on Broadway that both Jay Z and Will funded. The play, "FELA", is based on the life of Nigerian Afro-beat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kutia and is up for 11 Tony Award nominations.
Will and Jada also Appeared on Oprah earlier this week sharing their marriage and family business plan.

LaLa Vazquez Filming Realty Show

Now being free from an overweight cable bill, I don't spend much time in front of the tube and I don't feel as though I'm missing a thing with the word wide Internet at my fingertips. But this one slipped passed me and I just have to comment. VH1 recently announced that Lala Vazquez and Carmelo Anthony will participate in a five-episode reality series, scheduled to air September 13th, that will chronicle the planning of their wedding and the actual ceremony.
I am a realty show fan to a point. I stick to mostly the ones that you are tired of such as the Kardashians and anything with good fashion and locations. I'm glad to see that LaLa has gained enough notoriety to be considered for her own show but I'm going to say it loud and clear: Its the devil in disguise! The consequences of these shows have proven themselves over and over again. Every successfull couple and family that has appeared in their own realty show have fallen apart due to the overwhelming fame. Children have turned to drugs to escape the pressures of stardom and married and unmarried couples have ended in separation and divorce. I can actually say that the most successfull show to date for me, was the Osbourne's. They also experienced alot of strife but through it all they had a strong faith that the devil couldn't shake that you see in each of them today. And as crazy as they may have seemed, they arent any crazier that our own families.
I really like Lala and Carmelo and wish them all the best on their impending nuptials. I more so pray that what ever fame and strife may come their way they have enough faith in God to steadfast together.

Sex in The City 2

I had refrained myself from thinking anything "Sex and The City" but a friend on FB had to go and get all excited! Thanks Mel.

Check out http://www.savoythesocialite.blogspot.com/ to make the opening night an event. I found this site through a friend that used her services. Her taste is elegant, modern and something worth sharing.

Kelis: Flesh Tones

If you know me, you would also know that I am a die hard Kelis fan. She has such and heir of confidence that is almost hypnotizing with an artistic style like no other.
Kelis has just released her new album "Flesh Tones" in the UK, Europe, Asia and Latin America. For some odd reason she receives more respect for her creative style abroad than she does home, much like Kelly Rowland (that's another subject). "Flesh Tones" is do to release in the states on July 6. Here photos of her album cover. Don't know what to think of half woman half animal pic, but I still love her!
