THERE WAS INTEREST IN IT FROM A MAJOR ENTERTAINMENT  COMPANY.  I ALSO SPOKE TO A CONTACT IN CALIFORNIA, WRITER/PRODUCER JANINE SHERMAN ABOUT PRODUCING IT ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO.

THEN INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, A SHOW CALLED BLACKISH CAME ONTO THE SCENE.  IT HAD A SIMILAR THEME, A COMEDY ABOUT BOUGIE BLACK PEOPLE REFLECTING ON THEIR TAKE OF THE CULTURE AROUND THEM AS IT APPLIES TO THEIR SENSE OF "BLACKNESS".  IT'S ENTERTAINING, BUT MY BOOKS BRING A LITTLE MORE TO THE TABLE.

THEIR SHOW CENTERS AROUND A BLACK FAMILY.  THE PARENTS, OR AT LEAST THE DAD, HAD A KIND OF ROUGH UPBRINGING AND BECAME SUCCESSFUL, SO HIS KIDS DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE TOUGH LIFE, THEY JUST KNOW PRIVILEGE.

IN MY BOOKS, THE MAIN CHARACTER TINA WEST, A GOSSIP COLUMNIST,  REFLECTS UPON HER PARENTS GROWING UP IN THE DEEP SOUTH AND DEALING WITH JIM CROW AND WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW AS SHE THINKS ABOUT NOT ONLY RACE, BUT SEXISM AND CLASSISM.  SHE'S ALSO IS A SINGLE WOMAN NAVIGATING THE ROAD OF LOVE AND WORK IN A COMPLEX URBAN ENVIRONMENT AND THE JUDGMENT ABOUT HER CHOICES.  SHE'S A SUCCESSFUL WOMAN AND SHE'S SHARING HER TRIUMPHS AND TRIBULATIONS WITH US.

THERE ARE TWO BOOKS AND A THIRD IS COMING: BOUGIE IN NEW YORK AND BOUGIE IN KOREA.  IF YOU WANT TO READ A SOMETHING A LITTLE DEEPER, NOT JUST COMEDY, BUT A DRAMEDY,  THAT DEALS WITH HAPPINESS AND HEARTBREAK THEN.........TRY IT!!!!!!

TYRANT IS BACK!!!!!!

TOMORROW, TUESDAY, JUNE 16, 2015 IS THE RETURN OF TYRANT.  I REVIEWED THE SHOW LAST SUMMER AND I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE THAT IT'S BACK!

BARRY IS IN PRISON AND HIS POWER MAD AND PARANOID BROTHER IS IN POWER. WILL BARRY BE EXECUTED?  PROBABLY NOT SINCE HE'S THE LEAD IN THE SHOW WHO IS REALLY SUPPOSED TO BECOME THE TYRANT, HENCE THE REAL MEANING OF THE TITLE.

WELL, I'M SURE THERE WILL BE LOTS OF DRAMA AND DEVIOUSNESS BETWEEN THE BROTHERS, THEIR WIVES, AND THE OTHERS IN THEIR DECEITFUL ENTOURAGES TO ENTHRALL VIEWERS.

MY FAVES - EVIL EYE AND HAMSA JEWELRY!!!

I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW JEWELRY THAT HAS A SPIRITUAL SIDE.  THAT'S WHY I WEAR JEWELRY WITH GEMSTONES.  THEY ALL HAVE SOME SORT OF INNER SIGNIFICANCE,

HAMSA

1. The hamsa hand (Arabic) or hamesh hand (Hebrew) is an old and still popular apotropaic amulet for magical protection from the envious or evil eye. The words hamsa and hamesh mean "five" and refer to the digits on the hand.  The talisman against the evil eye is in the center of the hand,

TALISMAN AGAINST THE EVIL EYE

A talisman is an object which is believed to contain certain magical or sacramental properties which would provide good luck for the possessor or possibly offer protection from evil or harm.  The evil eye is a curse believed to be cast by a malevolent glare, usually given to a person when they are unaware. The talisman against the evil eye is usually a blue circle or eye shape oval that surrounds what looks like a blue eye with a black pupil.  The evil will bounce off the eye talisman.

WELL, NOW, I'M LOOKING AT EVIL EYE AND HAMSA JEWELRY. THEY SEEM TO DRAW PEOPLE TO THEM. PEOPLE KNOW THAT THESE SYMBOLS ARE REACHING OUT TO THE DIVINE, HIGHER POWER.


I LOVE WEARING SOMETHING THAT HAS A DEEPER MEANING AND IS BEAUTIFUL!

IF YOU ARE INTRIGUED, THEN............TRY IT!

BAG OBSESSION - PATRICIA NASH HANDBAGS AND TOTES

As my regular readers know, I have a handbag obsession, like most women.  Handbags can give a certain narrative about who you are. When I look for handbags, I look for creativity and classic silhouettes. I want something that is functional, but evokes a certain unique vibe. That's why I love Patricia Nash!

She has a way of taking a familiar look and giving it a unique voice using beautiful leather and patterns (see above).  She has so many wonderful, strong, long-lasting bags.  Her bags are so beguiling, it's hard to make a choice.  I love her map leather bags.  They actually have a map on the leather.  It's rustic and inventive:

In my opinion (I have multiple bags), Patricia's bags are tough and gorgeous.  You don't have to babysit them. They are rugged and feminine.  

Fans like me know a Patricia Nash Bag when we see them.  My sister's co-worker (they're lawyers), had a new bag that she was bragging about and I asked to see it.  As soon as she turned the corner, I knew it was a Patricia Nash.  She was so surprised I identified it so quickly!

So if you want a real bag that brings compliments, then ......
