Get It Halle Berry!!

Doll Talk





So I created a show called Doll Talk with me as the host. I will be posting a teaser of it when it's done being edited. It will have a little bit for the girls AND the guys because we will be talking about a wide range of topics while chilling on different beaches. The hotter it gets outside, the hotter the topics will be and the bikini's. Stay tuned! :) Thank you Tyger Yvonne and Balyndah Bumpus for participating and being such good sports. True Dolls!

Freaky Friday - Idris Elba




So I decided to do a "Sexy Man Of The Week" (other than my man lol) and who better to kick it off than this delicious piece of chocolate, Idris Elba? I was trying to find a pic with his shirt off but no dice. For years it has been Denzel, Denzel, Denzel. Now he finally has a contender especially with that british accent. Perfect candidate for the first black "James Bond". All I can say is Mmmmmmmmm....

Is This The Perfect Cast Or What??



Three Stooges revealed! I'm so excited to see this! We'll have to wait til next year because they start filming this fall. With these extremely talented actors, Benicio Del Toro, Jim Carrey and Sean Penn, this will be an instant classic unless the director messes it up. The director will definitely have to capture the "spirit" of the Stooges to make this work.

Meet Tiara-Disneys First Black Princess



I like her! She sort of looks like me. Finally a Princess that my nieces can relate to. It took 80 years but I love the look of her and I can't wait to see it. Anika Rose from "Dreamgirls" will voice her and Oprah will voice her mother "Eudora".

Leyomi Mizrahi - Dramatics



Leyomi is a 20 year old underground ballroom sensation, who has garnered an international cult following for her legendary "dips" and signature matrix-like style. I stumbled across her on youtube a couple years ago and was mesmerized and I watched video after video of her competition performances. Underground ballroom is a gay community and they use words like "cunty" or "ova" if you are the business on the dance floor. There are others that stand out too like "Allura", but Leyomi is hands down my favorite. This was just a clip of some of her highlights. Anyone who is a fan of Leyomi knows that Beyonce used some of Leyomi moves in her single ladies routines. You can spot it right away. Go to youtube to see some of her crazy shocking performances and suicidal dips. Yes she is a man. Make 'em GAG Leyomi!!

Are Black Women Too Loyal To Black Men?

By Isley Nicole
I read a blog today that made me ponder on the loyalty that black women have to black men. It was written as a "joke" but it hit a few nerves by it's offensiveness. It was about the old "Willie Lynch" syndrome, colorism. It also talked about how better white women and others were than black women. As I scrolled down a hundred comments of all these black men, I realized black women have to make some adjustments, and quick. They're our everything, but we are just an option.

It's already an epidemic that 70% of African American women are single. Why is that you say? Because of supply and demand. The black man is in demand because he is open to interracial dating. He'll date and experiment with every color of the rainbow. Then you split up what's left after you count the gays/DL brothers, thugs/incarcerated brothers. There's only a few good ones left and most of them are already taken. The supply is real low.

Single black women are being strung along, played and disrespected because black men know these statistics and prey on it. Black women take a lot of foolishness because they know how hard it is to find a man. But is he a good man? Some may even put up with abusers and cheaters because they look at all their single friends and think to themselves, "At least I have a man". The rest are waiting in vain for that perfect black man to come and sweep them off their feet. I say the hell with waiting. Start dating outside of your race too.

Look at Halle Berry. She gave brothers a whole bunch of chances. Stacey Dash did too. How much do y'all want to bet me that Rihanna will be crossing over real soon. As slim as the pickings are in the normal world, they're even slimmer in celebrity world. Naomi Campbell, Thandie Newton, Diane Carroll, Paula Patton, Iman, Melody Hobson, Kelly Rowland, Donna Summer, Diana Ross, Kerry Washington, Eve, Garcelle Beavais, Beverly Johnson, Kim Wayans, Tracy Bingham, Alfre Woolard, Tracy Edmonds, Venus Williams, Lena Horne, Tina Turner, Sharon Leal, Lisa Bonet, Lynn Whitfield, Debra Wilson, and Whoopi Goldberg to name a few are all with white men now. I'm sure they gave the brothers a chance but were open minded enough to try "something new" when things didn't work out. I have way too many beautiful single girlfriends and I am so exhausted with hearing all these sob stories.

If I was single I'd try a different scene because "other" men give me an equal amount of attention as black men. Especially white men. They think I am exquisite. Which I am. But I have yet to try them out. I never really was attracted to them but I have met some nice ones as of lately... My lover is black and he adores me as well but if he mess up.... ha!

So ladies, I'm not saying stop dating black men altogether, just stop being so loyal to these guys. Watch YOUR demand go up once they see sisters are no longer waiting for them to make a decision. Date like they do and you might find your soul mate quicker than you'd imagine.

To the brothers... I love y'all so don't take this the wrong way. Just calling it like I see it.

A Taste Of Chicago Recap


A Taste of Chicago - Hollywood (2/20/09) from Extra Mild Sauce on Vimeo.

I actually felt like I was in Chicago! It was INSANE! Even though we were in Hollywood, there was no pretentious vibe what-so-ever. The venue was packed to capacity early as we danced nonstop (all sweaty) to perfectly selected soul and house classics on wax by Dj's Drack Muse and Derrick Wize. We will definitely need a bigger place for the next one. I will keep ya'll posted when that will be. (Photos by Adrian Sidney)

I Can't Wait For Their New Album To Drop



J*DaVeY is well overdue for the shine they deserve. I fell in love with their sound back in '06 when I ran across them on Myspace. They were an indie band. Now signed to Warner Brothers with more experience under their belt, the sky is the limit for this fly duo. Real music.

I Want These...

Chi-Town Royalty



This pic makes me smile. When these women speak, people listen. Why? Because they are the most powerful women in the world and they have something positive to say. Seeing two African American women on their level is such an inspiration and a motivator. Oprah NEVER shares her cover but exceptions can be made when it's First Lady Michelle Obama! Make sure you get your copy on newstands March 17! For a sneak peek of the interview, go here: http://www.oprah.com/article/omagazine/20090223-orig-michelle-obama-oprah
