Talk to me local gulf region folks. What’s it like down there?

With the current political climate, everyone wants to be the hero, so I can only hope and pray that if Gustav hits hard my country will have done ALL it can do and will take an IMMEDIATE call to action in the aftermath.

thanks vnf for forwarding this message to me…
REPRINT of email sent out to members of MoveOn.org about McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin.  It’s a good summation on Sarah for those of you still trying to get smart on her or are simply still scratching your head.
Dear MoveOn member,
Yesterday was John McCain’s 72nd birthday. If elected, [...]

As I mentioned in my last Mizz Ethnicia post, I’m giving Aveda’s Confixor Liquid Gel a try.  Right now, I still put in Tresemme’s Bouncy Curls gel if I want nicely defined (or more pronounced) ringlets.  At the salon, she used it in conjunction with Aveda Brilliant Conditioner as my leave-in followed by this confixor [...]

…and yes, I had to tell him that we were divorced.
I’ve been meaning to write this down for a few weeks now because it has been that long.  I was out at one of my fav bars on one of my fav nights when lo and behold, Mr. Greek comes in (alone) and sits at [...]

If you don’t know, now you know…
Maurice Jamal is a director, writer, actor, AND producer.  I’ve seen his film “Dirty Laundry” and it was HAWT!!!  If you like the Tyler Perry-esque film genre, then this is right up your alley.
Big up to CutSleeveBoy who put me in the know about Jamal’s latest work.  I’m still [...]

Let’s cut to the chase.  Here’s my before and after pics.  I’ll write more when I get a moment.  In short, another FABULOUS experience!!!
BEFORE PHOTOS
i’m frizzy because i didn’t do anything to my hair this morning before going to the salon (just got up and rolled on out…at least you know what that looks like [...]

Sorry, it took me forever to write my verdict on my Aveda products.
“Best in Show” goes to…

Aveda Brilliant Humectant Pomade
2.6oz, $19
This stuff is the shizznit y’all!  Unfortunately, they only sell it in that little 2.6oz jar AND it costs like 19 bucks a pop.  This is my current hair crack addiction.  It is definitely worth [...]

I kept checking my phone, but I think Barack inadvertently left me off his distro.  I’ll have to give him a hard time the next time we talk. 

So the word that the world has been anxiously awaiting is out.  Joe Biden will be running with Barack Obama on the democratic ticket.  Yay!  Big [...]

Thanks aw for the info…

Below is Star Jones’ informed and provocative response to Bill O’Reilly’s comment about having a lynching party for Michelle Obama if he finds out that she truly has no pride in her country.
Bill O’Reilly said
I don’t want to go on a lynching party against Michelle Obama unless there’s evidence, hard [...]

That’s right, one of hip hop’s greatest hustlers has a big new venture under his belt.  Even with a facelift and new ownership, BET has just not risen beyond it’s MTV knockoff status, in my opinion.  Then there was TV One, a station I rarely watch and can’t even remember if it’s carried by my [...]

Before, I get on my high horse, let me dismount and tell you that D’Angelo’s “Untitled” video was THE hottest man sexy video ever.  It could make a lesbian think twice and send a nun to a confessional.  I’m not the touch myself type, but who wouldn’t with 3 minutes of imagery like this available?
Ok, [...]

I swear I thought up my post title before I ran into this picture, but it just sums up my initial reaction so well. Kudos to the photographer (source- http://flickr.com/photos/35237093608@N01/1528508443).

Well, at least he got jail time, right??

Just pasting the image above (from the article I found here- http://a.abcnews.com/TheLaw/BlackHistory/story?id=4184706&page=1) brings tears to my eyes. [...]

I just ran across it and thought I’d share.  I haven’t read it thoroughly but she has some nice product reviews for those of you looking for new things to try.

UPDATE DECEMBER 24, 2008- I’ve been reading down through some of the posts and I do really like this blog.  This young lady has gone [...]

I just ran across this conference online that has now past after clicking a link on Diary of a Content Black Woman’s blog (formerly called Why Black Women Are Angry), and it seemed like something I would have considered attending.  It was July 25-27, 2008 in Atlanta.
Did anyone attend?  If so, do you mind posting [...]

Ya, I bet your company had a brochure with a picture like this on the front of it with lots of words like “diversity,” “inclusion,” and “value” in it.
They were at your NSBE conferences, NBMBAA conferences, all smiles, shiny displays, the best giveaways.
You were hooked, weren’t you?
Gym onsite. Nice walking path around the building [...]
