Yesterday history was made AGAIN!!!! 4 years ago President Barack Obama made history as the first African American President of the United States, and last night he did it again by getting reelected in what some saw as an unexpected victory!! For me, this years election was completely different than four years ago. Back then I was in college watching the results in a dorm with my friends, however, this time around I was at work directing our local newscast. Back then when we found out he won my friends and I ran out screaming onto the courtyard with the rest of our classmates, then took off running to the other side of campus screaming Young Jeezy's "My President is Black"!! lol!

Vote!! Vote!! Vote!! Vote!!

Plums

"Vote or Die" "Head to the Polls" "iVote" "Shut Up & Vote" Whatever slogan meets your fancy, keep it in mind as you head to the polls on this momentous year to vote for the President of the United States of America! I did my part, make sure you do too!! I'm not gonna tell you who to vote for, but since this is my blog & I'm a Liberal Democrat I have no problem telling you who I voted for: President Barack Obama!!! No I did not just vote for hiim because he's black. I work a a news station & we've been running election crap non stop since waaaaay before the Republican Primary so there's no way I couldn't make an informed decision. Say what you want about him…

Happier Than You Know . . .

Plums

I'm not one to talk about my problems, things that are bothering me or things I've overcome, but something told me I needed to share this with you guys. On this day last year, around 10pm I put my life in danger and not for the thrill of trick or treating. I have no reason to lie to y'all so here goes: I was hanging out with some friends at a bar downtown, got a lil tipsy but I was good! On the drive home I was doing my regular tipsy driving routine- radio blasting, windows down & occasionally texting. The highway was 3 lanes & thanks to my phone every time I checked it I ended up crossing over. What happened next I don't entirely recall but apparently the…

Pucker Up

Neutrals

Whether you're new to Blondie's or are a regular reader 2 things should be obvious from the name of my site -I'm blonde & I love lipstick!! I like to consider myself a lip connoisseur -lipsticks, lip stains, lip glosses. If it goes on your lips I've heard about it, tried it & can tell you all about it!! lol! I love all kinds of makeup but I just have a particular fetish with lip wear to the point that my monthly budget includes a lipstick expense (yeah, it's that serious!) However when people meet me as I'm out covering events or just representing my brand on a regular day -usually in one of my precious lipsticks -they assume I sell it. NOT EVEN CLOSE!!! lol! Although one of my…

Naked Black Justice

Pinks

I haven't seen anything about this in a minute but I wanted to stir it up again and fill you all in on it. Based on the saying "dont judge a book by it's cover" and fueled by the Trayvon Martin case in Florida, Atlanta photographer and CEO of Noire 3000 created his campaign Naked Black Justice to bring to light the injustice African Americans are still facing today. Take a look: "This photography campaign was designed to bring attention to the issues of racism, prejudice and overall ignorance that has been impressed upon Black Americans. This is no longer just a statement…it has become a MOVEMENT to get others to understand that the world would be such a better place if we could just ERASE THE HATE!! Nudity was implemented…

Verity Reign Says . . .

Pinks

Every now & then in my social media perusing I find a post that is so TRUTHFUL that I jus have to share it! This is one of those posts! Check out the latest from Verity Reign Pet Peeve: Friends Who Constantly Cry About Mr. Wrong but Never Leave Him! Okay, I'm not one with an unusually long list of pet peeves. Even when certain things (like smacking your food all up in my ear) annoy me, I'm pretty good at ignoring them and faking a convincing, wide smile as if all is well. One thing, however, that I cannot tolerate, is when women stay with trifling, good for nothing men and then call their BFF to complain about and weep over them! Jesus, take the wheel! Though Mary sings about the…

Real Models

contributed by T. Johnson It has been my opinion that we all are born with the pre-disposition to want to have someone to look up to, someone to show us the way when we become lost, and someone that sees the best in us when we can’t see the best in ourselves. That person who shows us what “doing the right thing” looks like, what success looks like and how to find our own path. All too often, in the young lives of those who need them the most, this individual or individuals is seemingly nowhere to be found forcing them to look towards “the next best thing” the only other thing that has consistently played a role in their lives, media and the products of their environment. The depth…

Fab Mamacita

Pinks

Tokaree Wingfield I know I haven't done one of these in a while but today marks a momentous occasion! A year ago today my sister, Cancer twin & one of my best friends in the whole wide world (and also the woman who gave me the idea for the segment!) gave birth to the most amazing little boy I've ever met: Sebastian Tokarr Wingfield!!! Despite starting a family in a new state at the age of 22 and a year later having her husband deploy in the military, my China Doll has made lemonade from her lemons by moving back to Atlanta to be near her family. During that time she has purchased a new car ("Adonis the Black Beauty" is SUPER nice! lol!), and also managed to balance being…

His Perfection

Pinks

contributed by Nique She is the epitome of what perfection would be if it existed…. I dream about the curves of her body and the arch of her back And wonder if I will ever be good enough to deserve to be in her presence I have memorized the smoothness of her forehead to the slope of her nose Every freckle on her face and the shape of her lips I can detail the elongation of her neck and I fantasize about the taste of her collarbone…. ….It’s the sweetest thing… My fingertips tingle from the memory of what her breasts feel like in my hands and the smooth expanse of her stomach and I am lost Lost in her…. My entire being is drawn to the space in-between her…
