So Fabulous

Last weekend as I hibernated in my cave, I watched a marathon of Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane. To be honest, as I always am, I never really like her and for no particular reason, but after about eight episodes - I'm obsessed!

She isn't as obnoxiously girlie as I imagined and the hood in her appears to be REAL and not just because she was married to Russ. Sorry, I was assuming.

All in all she is great. Beautiful, ambitious, dedicated to her children/family and she knows how to get things done. The show was a tad melodramatic with every single project having a crisis moment of "is this going to happen" but it kept my attention.

So one thing that really put her up there with my all-time fave, Heidi Klum (mental note: why haven't I blogged about her yet?), is that she is involved with her kids. We, the viewers, know that they really do exist and that she actually sees them. This is very unlike all of Bravo's baby mamas, divorcees, jump-offs...I mean Housewives. They have four nannies for one child and they are unemployed. I don't get it at all. Maybe we see KLS' kids because they are all adorable and will undoubtedly have amazing futures. I'm not calling anyone else's children ugly...i'm just sayin'.

Her other characteristic that won my take-no-ish heart is that she doesn't take any ish. She likes things done right and she will speak her mind.

Waiting for the *tori-beef,* here it is...

The new KLS skincare line, Shinto Clinical, is suppose to be about real women. Too bad I wasn't her tweep back then, I surely would have submitted my photo for entry in her model search, but I digress. So, I'm annoyed that this line is suppose to be about real women, real beauty and when I go the landing page for the coming website...LIES. Kimora is sooo airbrushed.

One, unquestionably she is beautiful. Two, if I'm having to come to grips with not having a 17 year old's body anymore then so should she. Three, don't be a hypocrite because I've just watched nearly 10 episodes of you...all of you...double chin and wider nose included. On the Shinto webpage...Kimora is reaching wayyy back and it made me disappointed if you haven't noticed.

I'm glad she has moved on from babyphat because i'm not big on wearing clothes with huge brand names plastered everywhere. I'm really looking forward to the FABULOSITY she brings with KLS.

Smooches, Kimora. Sorry for calling you out.

How many 'Diva Dudes' do you know?

Defining the Diva Dude - FULL ENTRY

Preview:: an epidemic unique to the black community, the “diva dude” describes the mindset created in certain faulty brothas, developed after reading and hearing about the “good black male shortage” supposedly sweeping through the country at a pandemic rate.

it’s a condition, an aura which basically lets every eligible woman within a 25 mile radius know “look, i’ve read the same articles that you have, and since i’m such an “endangered species“, i pretty much have carte blanche to do whatever the hell I want with you. kiss the ring, desperate b*tch”.

they’re walking among us, twirling blue and white sticks and passive-aggressively suggesting dutch first dates as we speak, and it’s one of vsb’s crime-fighting duties to locate and brand them before they continue to poison the already murky dating pool.

here are a few characteristics and behaviors synonymous of the diva dude. If any man possesses seven or more of these traits, he qualifies.think of this as a dating DSM-IV

vh1: AshGamm just forwarded the above link to me and I literally had to LOL at my desk. This entry from two years ago was recently updated and OH BOY is it still true. These DD's are swarming society - terrorizing, torturing, tormenting and any other terrible t-word you can think of. They think young, black, beautiful and educated women will put up with the whackness they exude BUT guess again fellas. We may be single, but we aren't stupid.
