Who shot the producer???

Exactly what happens when a producer of a "reality" tv show tries to notmalize negative behaviors? Drama. For years now we’ve been glued to our tv screens tuning in to all sorts of foolishness that has propagated the lie that being on a rich man’s arm is the ultimate and easiest way to financial security.

I mean, where would women be of we all were to believe the “Housewives,” “Basketball (ex) Wives," and the new "Hollywood Exes" pays? They all have one basic primmest is to depict women behaving badly, being a jump-off or the ex of somebody famous. I'm still trying to make sense of how this is for our entertainment. It's not, at least not for most real women.

Now enters "The Real Mistresses of Atlanta," a visual arsenic concocted by music producer and Pro Style Gel spokesman Memphitz. Is the television industry no longer focused on anything other than targeting women of color? Apparently, our already overcrowded airways weren’t quite ratchet enough. Sensing that he could capitalize on our willingness to watch mind-numbing drama, Memphitz is currently trying to sell a show that gives us an inside look at some of Atlanta’s most in-demand mistresses.

While the majority of the cast is black, the token white woman comes out guns blazing when she asks, “Who wants to f-ck a black p—sy?” and explains that black men love her … because she’s white. Right.

Don’t get me wrong. I understand that the “other woman” has been profiting off her status for a while. In ideal mistress situations she may have gotten an apartment, a filled closet, and a few pieces of bling for her on-demand services, but in most cases, the scenario is much less glamorous, involving a bucket of chicken and gas money if she’s lucky.

You see, by constantly glamorizing this behavior and bringing it to the light, we are signaling to young women that it’s perfectly normal to sell yourself for a man’s attention so long as he gives you something of value in the process. We are telling them it’s OK to come second or third and jump to his every command so long as he breaks you off a little change in the end.

But it’s not OK. We all know it. And while some of these women are certainly getting over, the price they pay for losing their dignity, being treated like doormats, and giving up their self-respect to the highest bidder just doesn’t seem worth it.
Stay tuned in if you wish but I do not wish to support those ratings.

Poppin bottles? Chris Breezy vs Drizzy Drake

Just when you thought we were too grown for bar fights? Apparently not. All today the media was abuzz with details surrounding the apparent brawl between Drizzy and Breezy’s crews, leaving the singer with a gash on his chin.

Of course everyone is claiming the Breezy/Drizzy beef stems from both singers’ dealings with Rihanna. (It's all about Rihanna) However, other outlets are still struggling to make sense of the chaotic scene.

Here are some facts:

According to theYBF, Chris Brown was parting at W.I.P. in downtown Manhattan with other A-listers like Ne-Yo and Mary J. Blige, when he sent a bottle to Drake and his crew of Maybach associates Wale and Meek Mill.

I guess sending another big egotistic man a bottle is some sort of diss. Well eventually bottles were sent upside the head. Yet, that's not all that was exchanged.

Here are some sub and not so sub tweets from Breezy:

Seems like this beef is far from over,  at least I'll be watching.

Life After Graduation

Yes! You can finally call this girl who you see on this blog a college graduate! It was official on May 13, 2012 (congrats fellow class of 2012!) I became an alumnae of Hampton University. I was not always the girl you see here today, but it was all in due time. The papers, sweat and tears have all paid off. Now what? Where do I go from here? Only up right? Well I am currently seeking on a totally different type of refund check. This reimbursement would be loverly in the form of a job. Yet with constant persistence I'll get on some administrative assistants nerve enough to make my name known and eventually get my foot in the door. Until then I am trying to keep at it. The writing, blogging, reading, staying a true journalist at heart. HU taught me well. As a social media junkie, I plan on using my PR skills and higher education to land me a solid job for now. Eventually, this will will lead to my dream job. I know. Those are a lot of steps but it's only a matter of time. With this being the start of my true adult (no longer college kid) life, I plan on enjoying my summer. I mean why not? It's my first summer after accomplishing one of the ultimate goals for myself. Whatever comes next I do not exactly have it written in stone, but I already know some one above does. Now you've heard the saying...You only live once!
