Dear Straight Women, We Want You, We Don't Need You.

Image
Miss Lawrence, Bevy Smith and Derek J.  Gay men and straight women. The relationship that we have can be at times an odd dance. One minute, we're the best of friends. Always there for each other. With ice cream and wine in hand. Ready to watch Waiting to Exhale, Begin Mary Jane or Will and Grace at a moment's notice. To her, we're the gay bff she's always wanted and needed. To us, she's the mother/sister friend that we can go to the club with and talk about boys with. For a moment. It's a perfect fit. Then suddenly something starts to shift. I don't know what exactly happens but the person that we thought of as a friend. Either they start to change or we change. Either way, things are never the same.  It's hurtful, it's anger inducing and it's sad for everyone involved. At the start of the friendship. It was cool to gossip and "spill the tea" with each other while watching housewives or just chilling with one another. Then ...

Dear "Psychic Medium" Reality Show Producers, Stop it. Just...Stop it!

Image
Monica The Medium, Kim Russo, Psychic Tia, The Long Island Medium and Tyler Henry.  Reality TV. Let's face whether we love it or hate it. It's here to stay. Hell, I can't say anything. I watch quite a few of them. Such as Braxton Family Values, Rupaul's Drag Race and Iylana Fix My Life . They are entertaining.. to a point. Recently, I've cut back on them. Simply because they were, what's the words.. I'm trying to find. Oh, draining and full of shit. Which brings me to our main subject. The ever popular psychic medium shows. There's a slew of them. We have Monica The Medium, The Long Island Medium, The Angel Lady, Kim Russo  and of course last but never least,  Everyone's favorite blonde boyfriend, The Hollywood Medium . Now, before I go on. Let me say that, this is not I repeat not about them. As I know none of these hoes personally. Even though that are all invited to come to my home for hot tea, biscuits and truth. It's not the...

Phaedra Parks and Porsha Williams: Two Sides Of The Same Coin.

Image
Phaedra Parks and Porsha Williams. Reality TV is a strange, addictive animal. Much like the talk-shows of the 90's and the early 2000's. I know that I was not the only one who ran home to watch Ricki Lake, Jenny Jones and Jerry Springer. Let's face it, for those of us who watch reality television. It's a means of entertainment but it's also a means of escape. Many of us, myself included will watch a show and after the show is over. Whether subconsciously or not will go. "Thank gods that's not me." Or some of us will use the time to look at the situations that are played out on television. To look at ourselves. Hence, why I am writing this post. Tonight, like most. I watched the RHOA (Real Housewives of Atlanta) reunion. In tonight's final installment. The truth came out regarding cast member Phaedra Parks. By now, we all know that she lied. Beyond all that, let's think for a minute. In life, how many of us have been a Phaedra? Hands?...

Star Readings: Kenya Moore.

Image
Life twirls on! That is not just a catchy saying for Kenya Moore but a motto of how she sees the world and things around her. She is often misunderstood and there are many misconceptions about her but down deep she is a woman of strength and resilience. Kenya's ultimate goal is to live her life in her own way, on her terms. What do I pick up for Kenya? Growth both personally and professionally. Her show will be picked up there are at least three negotiation deals taking place right now. Even though the series may start out online and then grow from there to transition to a major network. (ABC or NBC ) are expressing interest. She is learning to forgive herself and grow up. She doesn't mean to act or lash out but there's a lot of emotional healing that has been taking place for the past 4 years. Kenya is now learning that in order to truly know someone you have to walk a mile in their shoes. Which is not easy for her. When it comes to her new man. She'...

Star Readings: Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker.

Image
 These two were meant to be together. With Kandi having the fiery number nine as her birth number and Todd having the birth number two as his. They balance each other out. Kandi is a Taurus so in personality (May 17th, 1976) she is someone that everyone tends to relate to. Now Todd is a Leo. (August 1st,1973) so when you have the two elements of fire and earth together. It can pack an at times fun,creative,volatile but in all stable punch. Seeing as how both of them are very set in their ways and won't back down from what they believe in. Kandi tends to be counselor to her friends and family and even though there are times that she lets her temper get the best of her (The number 9 is associated with the planet of mars) You best believe that every move she makes is a very highly thought out one. (people born with the number 9 as their birth number tend to be deep thinkers) Begin a highly skilled writer is nothing for Kandi number 9 people also make great writers. Now when it come...
