Michael Ealy for Christmas via Beyonce's Latest Video

I spotted Beyonce's latest video Halo on sandrarose.com and was excited because her leading man, Michael Ealy leaves me in awe. What a way to get into the Holiday spirit.



Funny story: I ran into Michael Ealy on my flight to Denver for the DNC back in August. Sure, I've always thought he was a "cutie" but my travel buddies, I'll call them M & M and LBoogie, admired him more than I did at the time. One of my friends was so speechless she could barely move to put her luggage in the overhead compartment. He's a mystery to me, I can't quite put my finger on him, which is why he is so intriguing. He has truly won me over. Enjoy!

He should be on display at the Museum of Naturally Fine Men....gee wiz.

Ain't No Future In Yo Frontin'-R.I.P. MC Breed

Such sad news! MC Breed passed away yesterday (Sat. Nov 22, 2008) at the age of 37. In September, Breed was hospitalized and placed on life support when his kidneys failed during a pick up game of basketball.

Heartfelt sympathies to his family and those who knew him well. MC Breed was truly one of the hottest lyricists. Ain't No Future In Yo Frontin', is one of my top hip hop jams ever. I so wanted to join the ranks of the female rappers when I heard his flow back in the early 90's, (well, umm, I did briefly try to rap, but that was so short lived). I can rap every word to that song with a super sick cadence. :)

Thanks for the memories, Breed!

Wanda Sykes Comes Out & She Has a Wife Too.

Shocked but not surprised. Here's Wanda Sykes protesting against the passing of California's Proposition 8.

I can't wait to post my blog on my thoughts regarding Prop 8. I've been Barack'd out for 11 days so I wasn't focused at all.

Keep fightin', y'all. Truly admire anyone who fights for what they believe in, regardless of whose against you.

Beyonce SNL Parody- In Case You Missed It.

It's cool to see her joke around. I must say, she would get more of my attention if she would've released her project sometime in 2009 or later. I need to miss her; my B focus was and is still on Barack, but this is really cute, and of course she always inspires my dance floor moves. I was rockin' out to her this weekend. Uhhh ohh ohh, uhh ohh ohhhh ohhh ohhh...

It's truly a B season. Brandy's coming back...Yeaaahhhh!!

My First Night In Denver- Party with a Purpose Time

Fresh off the airplane, straight to a party. We arrived in Denver pretty late and missed the Hill Harper book release and grown & sexy, hip hop party featuring, Whodini, Biz Markie, Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh. Urrgh, I was a bit hurt we didn't make it in time for this party. We did however arrive as the partygoers were exiting the venue, and just in time to watch an impromptu sidewalk fraternity step show. Too much fun and excitement. The post college "steppers" sent the Denver cops, who were on hand "just in case", into a semi-frenzy. The cops had no idea the men, suited and booted would break out into a full on School Daze step show outside of the venue. Hilarious. Great times indeed.

Dining with California Assemblyman, Isadore Hall. (LtoR)-Eric Hall, Miko, Isadore Hall, Danna, Lashan, Tiffany & Anton. Isadore represents California's 52nd District, which includes, Compton, Watts, Long Beach, Willowbrook, Paramount & South Los Angeles. Young men on the move in politics. Love to see it!

Day Two of My DNC Trip

I attempted to arrange the photos in the order in which the events occured; no luck. I did give detailed captions though. Enjoy!

Miko, Tiff & Shan downtown Denver posing w/Obama's Time cover.

On my way to watch one of the speeches.

Miko & Tiff taking advantage of Denver's public transportation.

Tiffany w/ the Barack the Vote crew. Brandon, (next to me) co-owns the line w/his sister Lorielle, not pictured. Love them!

Lashan, video/movie director, Brian Barber & Tiffany at the Pepsi Center after Biden's speech, I think.:)

Kickin' it with the Republican elephant. It's all love.

Around the way girls standin' at the bus stop-w/no lollipops. On our way to the festivities.

Acting silly at the DEMOCRACY ice sculpture. This was really cute.

Compton, Cali in the house. These guys are the creators of the Obama peace foam fingers. The vendors "came up", in Denver. Compton was seriously in the house. I went all the way to Denver and met so many people from Compton. Craziness!

Protestors were representing as well.

Almost doesn't count, but it will do for the purpose of this photo.

At the Denver Convention center watching one of the speeches.

I love my friends.

DNC: The Big Day- "That One" Speaks

Lashan, Mark & Tiff.

(read about Mark below and how he "hooked" us up)

Omg, Mark made our day. If it were not for Mark, things could've turned out a bit different for Lashan and myself. The 2nd day of our trip we were told we would have 4 tickets to attend Barack's speech. All good, 4 was exactly what we needed.. Well, the day of the event, our 3rd day in Denver, we learned there was a serious misunderstanding and that tickets would not be available to us. Ohhh gosh, it was too early in the morning and I was operating on 5 minutes of sleep when I learned of the news. Ok, what do we do, who do we call? I was so out of my element, I didn't know how to resolve an admittance problem for a political event. Making a long story short, our travel buddy Danna connected with some Delegates from California and Alabama and secured 3 tickets, and the last one came from a total stranger by the name of Mark. Lashan and I approached Mark, a gentleman who just happened to be walking behind us as we entered the hotel to pick up our 3rd ticket. At this point, I told Shan, "we're gonna just have to ask total strangers". We turned around to Mark........and the rest is part of history. Thanks Mark!!

Michael McDonald performs at Obama's Acceptance speech at the DNC.
Posing w/ one of the many pleasant police officers near Invesco Field . The city of Denver, and its surrounding cities' law enforcement kept things running smoothly. The officers were like none I've witnessed before; just pleasant. They gave out water and passed out these really cute "stay positive" signs. . Protesters were in full -effect. The protest took place outside of Invesco Field.
More protestors outside of Invesco Field in Denver.
Finally, I made it inside of Invesco Field. I still can't believe I'm in this photo. How great!. When one has an idea, mixed with some planning, teamwork, follow through and creativity, win win situations are created. I'm referring to the trip experience I had with my friends. An unbelievable blessing! Everything from each one of us having our very own row on the airplane (a big deal since we were in coach) to arriving safely into the city, upgrading from a compact car to a roomy SUV, w/no extra charge or strings attached, and to lodging at one of the most amazing residences in the Denver area. We were operating off of favor for real. My 2 hours of sleep smile. This is just before the Senator gave his acceptance speech.

At the Obama/will i am after party.

All of the parties were fab, but this one was really nice because it followed Mr. Obama's moving acceptance speech. Attending the DNC's after parties was an experience that tripped my mind out. I was tripped out because there was NO!! drama getting in. There were NO issues. And those oh so famous "girls & guys at the door and velvet rope , with the guest lists", we've all experienced them at many parties, they were very pleasant to interact with. Everyone was so nice. We RSVP'd while we were in L.A., and once we arrived to Denver, we received daily text messages confirming our attendance approval and party details. A super shout out to Kenny Johnson, The Richmond Group and Perennial Strategies for putting together the entertainment activities. I've attended one too many parties with guest list confusion, but the parties during the DNC for sure fall into the "one of the best" category.
Obama girls, Tiff & Danna K, Barackin' the dag on Vote! We were seriously on our way out of the venue by the time this photo was taken. Lack of sleep and trying to party-not a great mix. It was really cool to see the political and entertainment worlds collide.

Sleeping while standing (Tiff & Danna)

And I suppose in this photo I'm flossin' my Barack the Vote t-shirt. I suppose.

Attending the 2008 DNC was an experience I will never forget. I cried everyday for 2 weeks after returning home, and I still cry off and on when I think of my experience. There were so many things going through my mind while there; my life's purpose, how much African Americans have progressed in this country. I thought about my grandparent's, who are all deceased, I wondered how they would feel about the possibility of America electing its first African American president. I thought about the "Audacity of Hope". I flashed back to my visit at Ebenezer Church, what would Dr. King think if he were here? I'm hopeful that the visual of a Barack and Michelle team will inspire us to heal our families and mend hearts.

I'm the offspring of generations who fought, struggled and sacrificed. I really haven't struggled. I've never looked at myself as a "victim", "the man" is not holding me down. I do sometimes wonder if I am doing enough with my life to make generations before me proud. What's my excuse? I can do anything, why am I not taking advantage of opportunities, why am I procrastinating? Why am I sometimes afraid to try and more afraid of the responsibility that comes with success? Why don't I ask for help or allow people to know I could use a helping hand at times? Soooo many things ran through my brain. I was paralyzed in thought, but inspired beyond belief at the same time. I haven't been the same since Denver and I don't think I ever will.

Let the unravelling begin.

I hope you enjoyed the photos.

Aretha Franklin Sings Mariah Carey's Touch My Body In Concert

Here's a video of Aretha singing Mariah's, Touch My Body. I'd first heard the audio on Wendy Williams' show and I just had to search for the video footage myself.

Stephen A. Smith- Talks Politics

Tiffany: From the blog of sports analyst, Stephen A. Smith. I admire this man's fearless delivery of truth. The Truth: sometimes hurtful, but if embraced and delivered from an admirable person, can be helpful. I've been an admirer of the Stephen A. Smith movement since his days as a frequent guest on the Best Damned Sports Show, Period, in early 2000. I appreciate black men who embrace their greatness and refuse to dumb themselves down, and Stephen "Screamin" A is a the perfect example. The sincere honesty, and integrity he brings to the sports world, I aspire to do the same in the world of music. Anyway, in his blog post on Stephena.com, he veers far away from sports to politics. Check out his politcal perspective on a Barack Obama presidency:

(copied and pasted from Stephena.com)

The right-wing mocks him as “The Messiah” while Democrats far-and-wide treat him like one. Conservatives question the legitimacy of Barack Obama, claiming a large segment of this nation is ignorant to what this Junior Senator from Illinois really represents. Meanwhile, liberals stand in unison, basking in the glow of his ascension, waiting to benefit from this unfathomable run that’s expected to end with a black man finally becoming the President of the United States of America.

And foolishly, too many African-Americans are joining the parade, treating this likelihood as if it’s a job finished. Instead of a job that’s just getting started.
If African-Americans truly want to assist Obama, helping him get elected is just the beginning. If we fail to educate ourselves about what his job really entails, if we refuse to make the sacrifices necessary to help America prosper – if far too many of us continue to perpetuate ignorance, a flagrant naiveté to what’s really going on, and choose instead to lean on excuses that continue to hinder our growth as individuals and as a community – an Obama Presidency will be in vain. Particularly for the majority of African-Americans who vigorously support him.

It’s time for us to wake up!

Today's Randomness- In The Locker Room at My Gym

Location: My gym
Backdrop: The Ladies Locker Room

So, I decide to workout early, early this morning. I make my way to the locker room to see how challenged my cuteness was at that hour. Upon entering the locker room, I walk into the middle of a very loud conversation!! The excited loudness was coming from this elderly white lady (think Golden Girls, the oldest lady on the show), very short and feisty with her expressison; real cute.

The lady seemed to be having a discussion with anyone who would listen. Since I'd just walked into the locker room, I didn't really pay much attention, I did however continue to ear hustle. As I tried to shake my sleep, I kept hearing the lady state, "we need a change, we just need a change". She grabs her bag to exit, and with sass, turns around to address the women in the locker room, "if you all do not vote for Barack Obama, I'm kickin' yo ass when I see you again". Whoa, talk about a morning wake up call. After I recovered from my confused laughter, I got the the lady's attention and told her to look at my shirt, it read, "Women for Obama". High fives, high fives. Whew, I was safe from her wrath.

I still didn't confirm my morning cuteness, but that was ok, I could care less what I looked like after that experience- because truly I was smiling, thanks to that lady.

So the moral of the story: Go to your gym's locker room, check on your cuteness, and look for an old lady and pray she makes you smile. Wearing a smile and being able to reference a smiling moment throughout the day is much cooler than being cute.

I hope I see her again before the election. I'll be sure to carry my camera phone in hopes of catching another one of her episodes. Loved her!

Speaking of the elderly, shout out to Cloris Leachman, the 82 year old Dancing with the Stars participant. She was kicked off the show yesterday, thanks to the hateration from judge Kari Ann Inaba. I love the elderly. They rock!

My Randomness- Auditioning, Hip Hop Awards & The Somebodies.

More weekend stuff:

I went on an audition over the weekend for a television hosting gig. I would love to host and or produce a t.v. show relating to entertainment news, male/female relationships and politics. Co-hosting my monthly relationship forum, The Battle of the Sexes (we've been rockin' for 3 years...yeaaaahhh!!) and doing this blog truly serve as a source of inspiration. The audition was exhilarating and I would love to get "that" particular gig, but if don't, I enjoyed trying.

My BET Weekend....

I shifted my focus from CNN to BET to watch the repeat of the Hip Hop Awards. I know I'm late with show comments, but I gotta speak about the ladies of Hip Hop; weren't they HOT?!! I so loved their performance and those hip hop ciphers. Now, that's why I like hip hop! The rappers were flowin'. Jadakiss, Fab, Juelz, Hurricane Chris, and the new guys NICE. Jadakiss and a guy named Ace Hood. I am so feeling the flow of the lyrics, fellas. Jadakiss, "Mr. "I will stay in my lane, 'til it opens up". Love it.
Thanks for getting my attention.

Another thing on BET. Am I the last one to catch BET's new original show, The Somebodies? That's a pretty cool show. Hey now BET! As soon as this election is over, I will add more viewing channels to my selection.

Thoughts & Prayers to Jennifer Hudson & Family

I want to send out prayers of comfort to Jennifer and Julia Hudson and members of their family. What a tragedy! I am not one to process death, especially murders too well, so this news is shaking my mind right now. Prayers for little Julian's safe return home to his mother Julia!

Obama Leads in the 7-Eleven Poll

Forget all of the other Presidential poll results, 7-Eleven's poll, based on the sale of Presidential candidate's coffee cups. Obama cups have out-sold McCain, 60% to 40%. According to 7-election.com, during the 2000 & 2004 elections, George W. Bush sold more cups than his opponents, Gore and Kerry. Hmmmm, 7-Eleven, I hope you're on to somethin'.

I support the cup campaign atleast 2 times a week. Everytime I walk into a 7-Eleven, I have to search deep to find an Obama cup. I think I have a taste for some hot chocolate....I know just where I would like to go.

You Betta Sing Scarlet!! A Much Watch Video

Oh geez! I'm sure most have seen this video. I spotted it in the blogsphere last week and it only had 70,000 hits, and now it's x's 10. For the few who haven't seen this, please watch the entire video. If you become impatient, start the video at 2:13 and watch on. I would suggest watching the ENTIRE video to have the best laugh ever. Please please. The best laugh ever.

I Found My Smile Again, Thanks D'Angelo

During my quest to investigate how many artists use Auto-Tune (pitch correction technology) to adjust their vocals to make them sound better or for some other creative way of recording vocals (T-Pain) my ears have been so focused on the radio lately....I'll post my findings at another time. I will say this: the use of Auto-Tune is purely overkill, and featuring T-Pain or Lil' Wayne on a project, in my opinion does nothing for the artists featuring them, it actually adds more focus to T-Pain or Wayne.

Anyway, I digress, the purpose of this post is to talk about the super sexy D'angelo and his return to the music scene.

Check out "I Found My Smile Again", D'angelo's new single; I hope he's been working out too. :)

Diddy Tells Us Why Obama Could Lose

OJ: GUILTY!!!!

Tiffany: 13 years to the day of his acquittal for murder, OJ just minutes ago was found guilty of all 12 counts. See details from CNN below.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (CNN) -- The jury has reached a verdict in O.J. Simpson's armed robbery and kidnapping trial in Las Vegas, Nevada, a defense lawyer and a court official said Friday.
The jury reached the verdict 13 years to the day O.J. Simpson was acquitted of two murders.

Simpson arrived at the Clark County Justice Center at around 10:50 p.m. (1:50 a.m. Saturday ET). The verdicts were expected to be read once all of the lawyers and defendants arrived in the courtroom.

The jury of nine men and three women, none of them African-American, began deliberations Friday after hearing from 22 witnesses over 12 days of testimony. Chief among the witnesses were seven of the nine people inside Room 1203 of the Palace Station Hotel and Casino for the September 13, 2007 confrontation. (continue)

N.W.A.- The Worlds Most Dangerous Group

Earlier this week I was invited by EMI Music's and Executive Producer, Rayshon Harris to attend a screening for the VH-1 documentary, NWA: The World's Most Dangerous Group. The documentary airs tonight (Friday, Oct 3rd). Looking back to the late 80's, NWA's, Straigh Outta Compton was in heavy rotation in my tape deck. NWA's music caused much dissention in my family----my dad loved them and was cool with the heavy rotation, and I believe borrowed the tape for his own listening pleasure at times, but my mother, oh lawwwwd....she actually destroyed the tape, unravelled its existence so much a # 2 pencil couldn't help me put it back together (Grown and Sexies-you feel me on the pencil and the cassette tapes, right?)

The documentary, narrated by Chris Rock (his funny is effortless) is well produced and I'm certain fans will appreciate the journey back to the late 80's/early 90's. Those who rep L.A. will have an instant connection to the footage in film. And the youth, who probably didn't know Dr. Dre was a member of another group before there was an NWA, or an Aftermath, will receive a history lesson. After watching the documentary, I gained a better understanding of Eazy E, the businessman.

A panel discussion moderated by writer Cheo Hodari Coker with DJ Yella and Eazy E's son, Lil Eazy followed the screening. John Singleton was in the audience and told his story of having to pay Eazy E. 50 grand to use the title, Boyz In The Hood for his critically acclaimed film of the same title.
Tune in tonight at 11pm on VH-1.

Rayshon, thanks for the invite!

Creatiff Humor: Sarah Palin Scares Puffy

Puffy urges us to vote because he's afraid of what could happen if Sarah Palin becomes President. LOL. I guess that means he's saying vote for Obama!

I understand his urgent concern, because like me, he's a November Scorpio; our bday's will not be happy if Obama isn't declared the President. Check out Diddy Blog #24.

Gilbert Arenas Engaged!!

Washington Wizards Gilbert Arenas aka Agent Zero is an engaged man. Check out how it all went down. Lovin' it!!

Thanks Shan!

From Gilbert Arenas' blog:

You all want to hear about the big moment, huh?

It started off as a surprise birthday party for my girlfriend, Laura.

The party was on the 20th and her birthday is on the 21st. To set up the surprise party, I had to figure out how to surprise somebody who wants a surprise party? I mean, how do you do that?

Basically, you start off with a whole bunch of lies. That’s how you do it.

Eric Roberson: Paves A New Road For The Obama Movement

Ok, just about every artist who is an Obama supporter has a tribute song to support the candidate for change. The more the better. Here is a very moving song and video by one of my favorite r&b artist, Eric Roberson. Soul moving.

I need for the election to come and go, I've turned into a serious tear shedder.

Check out this video by Eric Roberson.

CNN's Campbell Brown Calls Out Sarah Palin

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Frankly I have had it, and I know a lot of other women out there who are with me on this. I have had enough of the sexist treatment of Sarah Palin. It has to end.

She was in New York on Tuesday meeting with world leaders at the U.N. And what did the McCain campaign do?

They tried to ban reporters from covering those meetings. And they did ban reporters from asking Gov. Palin any questions.
I call upon the McCain campaign to stop treating Sarah Palin like she is a delicate flower who will wilt at any moment.

Good Times Backstage: Penny & Willona Hang Out

My boy, photographer/publicist, Steve Williams supplied me with backstage images from Janet Jackson's L.A. show.

Steve, thanks for allowing me to share the pics!

Ja'net Dubois & Janet aka Willona & Penny backstage at Janet's L.A. show. It just occured to me that these two have the same first name. (Ja'net and Janet backstage) Truly beautiful; and society suggests women lie about their age when they're over 25. Are you serious? Who made up that rule? Janet is 42 and Ms. Ja'net "Willona" is 63. Forever fabulous.

McCain Halts Campaign-No Debate on Friday

Tiffany: Ok, so we are less than 45 days away from the Presidential election, in a recession and the GOP candidate wants to tip out now. Mr. McCain, now would be a good time for you to start trying to convince people, right now, at this time why you should run the country. I'm sure there are enough elected officials who can handle the horrible state of economic affairs while you continue to campaign. I need to see you on t.v, behind a podium on Friday. I've changed my Friday evening plans for this debate. Funny that we learn Barack is up in the polls by 9 and you want to move away from the campaign at this time. Now, since Barack would like to move forward w/ the debate, I guess he doesn't care about the country. I await your next approved by you commercial.

From AOL News:

NEW YORK (Sept. 24) - Republican John McCain said Wednesday he wants to delay Friday's debate with Democratic rival Barack Obama and temporarily put aside their partisan campaign to resolve the nation's financial crisis.

McCain's announcement came after the two candidates held private talks about joining forces to address the Wall Street meltdown. The Obama campaign said the Democrat initiated the talks, but McCain beat Obama to the punch with the first public statement calling for the two to rise above politics in a time of crisis.

Janet Jackson- Can't Be Good (but it is)

I'm finding it difficult to comprehend why Def Jam didn't stand behind Janet's project. She has a very solid album and the single, "Can't Be Good" is one of the hottest/sexiest songs on her cd. I understand she has left the Def Jam building.

If you do not have her cd, please press play below to hear this song. I know some radio stations are starting to jump on it.

Back From the DNC

Hey Creatiff Ones,

First, a shout out to those of you who reached out to me with your well wishes for my DNC trip. I was elated to receive those messages; I no longer think I'm the only one who reads my blog...LOL. Well, I am still on an emotional high and I become so overwhelmed when I re-live the experience that I seriously start to shed tears.

I went straight to NYC from Denver to attend a wedding and once I landed in the city, I had to immediately become a NY'er and I lost some of my emotional memories because the NY'ers were off the chain (smiles) as soon as I landed at JFK. You gotta just move and shake and get rude with folk in that city at times- still my favorite home away from home but the airport employees were straight off the chain for me on this trip. Welcome to NY for real. Anyhoo, there were sooo many amazing events and experiences that happended in Denver, I need to use this weekend to get all details together for this blog. Truly an amazing experience though. If you didn't attend the DNC, please consider the Inauguration in January. I have lots of pictures to share. I'm hoping to get them all out by Monday. My trip with 3 of my favorite girl-friends was truly a blessed experience.


Sarah Palin

Still trying to "google" as much as I can about her. I watched her now famous speech, but what's up with her, or any human down-playing community leadership? So crass!!Making light of a man who is a Harvard Law Grad, who decided to go back to an area of Chicago to be a bridge between the community and law-makers and help empower those United States citizens is extremely offensive to me, and I would assume any person who has a passion to serve. On another note, she delivered her speech as if she wrote it herself. She was confident but the content of her speech was empty and condescending. Oh, and trust, if Malia or Sasha Obama were of child-bearing age and got pregnant out of wedlock, there would be no-way the teen-pregnancy matter would be private and or the family's business only. (Neck rollin' with my hands on my hips) :)

Musiq Soulchild- Rocks The DNC

This boy is HOT and so is his new smash single, Radio. If Musiq is anywhere close to a town near you...get there. You have to experience him and get ready to "rock out" to his new single. Besides, he's one of a few artists who's first single doesn't feature Lil Wayne or T-Pain. Now that's risky.....but there's always room for a remix. :)



I attended Musiq's performance in Denver at a DNC afterparty hosted by Perennial Strategy Group (who by the way, put on the most organized after-parties I've ever attended in my party life) Musiq is straight up a performer-he rocked us into a frenzy at his show. The crowd was entertained by the soulful child and his amazing band for 1hr 1/2. Please rock out with him-he's on tour this month and his project, onmyradio is slated for a late November release. It took me one quick minute to process his current single, "Radio", but only a quick minute because the song truly rocks- it's different for him. I spoke with him at the ASCAP Awards a few months ago and I mentioned how "different" his single was and he stated, "but it's not different for radio".


Musiq's Myspace

Diddy Apologizes To The State of Alaska

Diddy video-blogs an apology to the state of Alaska for his comments made regarding the state's Republican VP pick, Sarah Palin. While viewing the initial video, I thought it was retarded but because I'm a November Scorpio, like Diddy, I understand our unique sense of humor, and charged it to that game. Puff, not everyone is gonna "get" your Scorpio, to the left humor. Please be selective next time you use it, especially as it relates to Obama-we can't have you affecting his candidacy.

Hey Peeps

Hey Creatiff Ones,

This weekend was really busy. I co-hosted my monthly relationship forum. Lots of fun, crazy fun crowd as usual. Oh, also, I cut my hair-my real hair. For the purpose of expressing myself creatiffly, I love wearing weaves and wigs, I love, love them but I wanted to cut my hair into a style, and the short hair wigs just looked too "wiggy" to wear, so I decided to let go of my connection to "hair" and I told my sister (my hairstylist) to just cut and she did. I got used to it. I like it.

I attended church and heard an amazing message from the guest minister, his name is Bishop Brister out of New Orleans (google him). He spoke about Humility and Serving. Great message. I'm headed to Denver (for the DNC) and to New York for the Holiday weekend so my blogs will be delayed, so I wanted to at least post one for this week. Keep me and my traveling buddies in your thoughts as we've never been to Denver and I'm hearing the protesters are off the chain. I'm planning to do some video blogging from there so stay tuned for some possible updates from my Creatiff perspective.


Tiffany's Revelation Regarding Her Feet-LOL

Ok, I just want to share information on something I recently discovered about myself. For quite a few years I was under the impression that I had really nice feet. I mean, I love getting pedicures and trying out new polish colors to expose what I thought were cute feet in my flip flops. Well, a few weeks ago, I attended a car show and I spotted a car that was painted an orange color- similar to my toes. I decided to take a photo of my feet- (stop laughing Marcus-stop it)so I approached the car, and insert my feet into the photo to create what I thought would be an amazing effect-my toes, and the car matching. Well, honeychil', I snapped the photo with my 7.2 megapixel camera and all I can say is I wished that I had a 1.2 megapixel camera. I was like, "wait a dag on minute." Who's feet are in this photo? Not Ti Ti's. Oh no! (Marcus stop it-lol) Marcus is my boy, well former boy because he was laughing hysterically after I showed him the photo. Has anyone ever taken a photo of their feet, ladies? I don't know what to do with myself right now. I mean, I'm the Co-Chair of the Women Who Rock Flip Flops Society and I love flip flops and open toe shoes. I will wear flip flops to church. The megapixels on my camera showed my feet in a different perspective. I have NO photos of the feet.

Excuse the typos, if any. I'm in a rush and just wanted to make sure I did a blog posting before I left for my trips.


Enjoy the holiday weekend

LL Cool J- A Knock Out Performance

A few weeks ago I attended and posted pics from the set of LL Cool J's live performance for Yahoo and Nissan Live Sets. Below please view the video clips from the show.



This man is simply amazing!! And no, it has nothing to do with the fabulous fit body and gorgeous face. LL's a man who recognizes his greatness and refuses to dumb himself down, and he just happens to be fine. What a man! He's so many things. Any up and coming artists looking to maintain a career, Mr. Cool J should be in your orientation packet. This is how you do it. My friend Shan and I were trying to remain poised but when you view his performances you will see why we were a bit challenged in the poised area.:)See below:

PJ Morton Rocked L.A.

PJ & Smitty Rocks after the show.

Smitty, you passed the "rock out" test-you can hang :)

PJ stopped through L.A. to record his live album. Can I just say, heaven was on earth this past Friday at the Temple Bar. I just want all of my loved ones and friends to know about PJ Morton. You must know there is a remedy for the pain that's caused by the lack of music variety. No worries, I look for these fixes daily, and will share what I know. I do know one thing, you need PJ in your life, your ipod, cd player, etc. Remember when music used to make you feel good? Ladies, when songs used to make you feel prettier than you already are? Well, I felt pretty, and pretty good on Friday night because of the PJ Morton Experience. Check him out-thank me later.
