Somebody's Mama

-

Passing the newstand this morning the usual array of soft porn was displayed behind the plexiglass exterior. The cover of K.ing magazine featured Ki.mora Lee Simm.ons on the cover. Ain't she somebody's mama? I mean, really if I were 6 years old and my mom were plastered all over every newstand and 7-Eleven magazine rack in her undies would that make me feel good or embarrassed. Honestly, I think I would feel rather embarrassed. I could hear the other little kids now..."I saw your mama in her underwearrrrr."

It's not appropriate especially for someone who wants to be taken seriously as a business women (who made it because of talent not based on the fact that her husband is a prominent hip hop music mogul). What do you do, sit down with your two little girls and tell them "It's okay for everyone to see you in your panties as long as you get paid a lot money for it." She probably does knowing her.

I think she is another one of those personalities you either love or hate. A friend of a friend used to work for her and he loves her dirty thongs. Of course he is totally star struck. I never really understood her appeal but then again I am not a man....who likes Amazonian women...who dress like street walkers...seem totally annoying... and have planetary rings around their neck. Aren't there some types of neck exercises to tone that up?

Anyway, as I sat down to do my morning reading I saw this article in the Vil.lage Voice:

Glenn Belverio and Thomas Onorato can stop fighting like two old Italian ladies. Their book Confessions From the Velvet Ropes: The Glamorous, Grueling Life of Thomas Onorato, New York's Top Club Doorman is finally out.

There's one experience related in Confessions where they didn't hold back at all. The second chapter depicts a hair-raising Baby Phat fashion show during which the security staff was threatened with guns by unruly fashion fans who were refused entry. "Their team was so unproductive, I would never work with them again," Onorato says of Kimora Lee Simmons's company. "They are one of the few people in the book I didn't tell was going to be in there. I didn't even make the effort."

Gee, why am I not surprised?

Goal Setting

-
Had my goal setting meeting with bosses. We are keeping the same goals as last year. I will still casually browse around for a job, but I feel relatively confident that I am safe - for now. Now, my goals for the summer include but aren't limited to: Get my apartment deep cleaned and redecorated Clear out storage unit Travel (even if locally) Take lots of photos: Do a neighborhood project where I shoot different blocks and neighborhoods each day.  Go to Brooklyn - a lot! Go to lots of free concerts Score lots of rush tickets to see Broadway shows Hit the gym, swim, walk, and bike Write, write, write! Get to one of those Korean spas I keep hearing about Stay on top of my pedicures and massages Watch plenty of sunrises and sunsets Get back to living a clean life Rediscover joy Go to the beach - a lot! Laugh - a lot! Get my finances in order Catch up on the magazines that have piled up Catch up on the books that have piled up Takes lots of relaxing baths Have f...

My baby has crossed the rainbow bridge

-
I know a few of your have been lurking here for years. So you know that I had a sweet little fur baby who I loved very much and who has moved with me from city to city since I've had her. It is with much sadness that I must report that my sweet girl was put to sleep to on Monday. She was getting up in age and had several medical conditions that warranted putting her to sleep. Her quality of life had deteriorated and I was no longer able to care for her the way she needed to be cared for. Her vet wanted her put down a while ago but because I have my issues with grief and abandonment I wasn't ready. I think getting therapy for the short time that I did was helpful with getting me over the hump to move forward. I know it was the right thing to do and she went so peacefully that it helped me know that I made choice.  I miss my girl. I look for her because we have never been apart for long periods of time. There are people who don't understand the connection that humans have to ...

Took a break

-
I have been so busy trying to keep all of the balls in the air. Then I got sick. I haven't been this sick in a while. My allergies turned into an upper respiratory infection and I am still coughing as I try to clear out my bronchial passages. I've also started juicing to help support the recovery and have lost 15 lbs. I haven't had much of an appetite, so I drink fresh juice from the juice bar to keep my energy up. I could definitely keep this up for a while then transition back into a pescaterian diet. Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
