YouTube Foolishness: Flattery Edition

They say imitation is the best form of flattery. I'll let y'all be the judge because right now I.just.can't.

ELECTION 2010 - YOU DECIDE (AGAIN)..........

Yes I know (most) elections over but in AR Gal's world, it ain't over until the fat lady (with ginormous boobs that hang to her belly button and wears no bra at my job) sings. I don't hear her yet so here we go.

Is this appropriate interview attire? Press 1 for yes OR 2 for no.


I had to come back and add some thoughts. Maybe it's just my style (which apparently is a lot simpler) but this seems a bit extra....especially for a job interview. Well, unless it's for a job at Sears or something, which it's not. I haven't worn a pure red suit (with shiny gold buttons (the ones featured are leopard print to match the ensemble TYVM) since my high school graduation pictures. No worries, you will NOT be seeing any pic's of that massacre. In her defense, I've heard red is a power color but do we really need this much strength?

Please note, this ain't me....DUH!

And now a musical selection while you cast your votes...........


Kanye West - Power (Official Video) found on R&B

I whip my beads back and forth......................

Well folks, I done seen it all....and I mean ALL!!! If you'll recall in this post, I shared with you some of the work attire dawned by one of the temps. I'm here to tell you Space Jam Jordans ain't got shit on the new chick in town.


The picture is fuzzy so I'll assist. Ladies and gents, in essence, this is what you see.

THIS BROAD HAS BEADS IN HER HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BEAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDS IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN HEEEEEEEEEEEEEER HAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIR!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT WOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRKKKKKK!!!!!!!!

Oh and Beady Bee wasn't nice enough to get the clear ones. Her head is chock FULL of a cornucopia of colors like she just tasted the damn rainbow!!!

RED......................YELLOW.......................BLUE........................GREEN............

I was so dumbfounded when I saw this mess that I had to look at the girl thrice to make sure it wasn't someone's child. No such luck. I was lucky enough, however, to have my trusty phone on hand to capture this moment in time because otherwise I'm not sure you all would have believed me. I'm still not sure I believe it myself. I was hungry at the time, after all, so this may have been a mirage. Yeah, that's it. I made myself see candy coated goodness in her hair because it was time for my afternoon snack.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

And now for a musical selection...................................

Election 2010-You Decide

Candidate: Ladies Jordan High Heels

Are these cute? Y or N
Are these work appropriate? Y or N
Would you wear these? Y or N

Proposition BF Ugly- Should these be taken off the shelves, burned and barred from recreation ever? Y or N

Okay, so I know several of you guys read Creole's site. She had a HotMESS\NESS post recently that featured these shoes. Imagine my surprise when I actually saw a pair live and in living color this week being worn by someone at work.

AT WORK. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRK.

To her defense, the dress code at our place of employment is fairly laid back but not so much that you won't get called out for trying to get away with wearing coochie cutters. Oh and she did. Not the she I'm talking about in this post....a different she. BUT, that's a another post for another day. The she I'm referencing is a temporary employee. Since we make a good chunk of $ during the holiday season, the organization brings in temps for the call center during the last quarter to help handle call volume.

I saw them as I was walking down to the break area on our floor but turned away when she caught me staring. I snuck another glance when she turned her head but quickly turned away again after I realized my mouth was wide open. #closeyamoufgirl!

This poll will close Nevuary 1st.

And now for a musical selection.....

Just for S&G's........................

On the bright side......................

at least she won't have to ask where them dollas at.

Wrote a story ‘bout it. Wanna read it, here it go

Woke up this morning sleepy as all get out.

Put my contacts in. They didn’t agree with my eyeballs. After 15 minutes of removing and re-inserting with no success, finally just said phuck it and threw my glasses on.

I hate wearing my glasses. Boo.Hiss.

Saw Pedro’s truck this morning but no one in the backseat. Guess they decided to take a break.

Arrived at work and went to the restroom.

Did a full survey of my outfit. Noticed that my maxi skirt was a peep show in the back.

Cursed self for not wearing a longer shirt and checking self out in the mirror AT HOME.

Tried to do some adjusting to camoflauge. Didn’t work.

Went to the store to buy a slip…..which I have plenty of AT HOME.

*eyeroll*

Slips a plenty but none in BLACK. Boo. Hiss squared.

Grabbed a cami top and made it work….Tim Gunn game proper.

Went to check out and got stuck behind a stupid ass b*tch woman that wanted a price check for a greeting card that was supposed to be 25 cents. The original price was FIFTY CENTS!!!!!!

ARE YOU SERIOUS?????!!!!!

Waiting. BG’s ensue. This heffa still wants her 25 cents discount.

Go to check out at customer service while trying to resist the urge to mollywhop said heffa in the back of her head for being stupid.

Hit the restroom up to leave a deposit and put on my shirtslip.

Stop to grab more sunflower seeds. Only one package of the flavored kind left.

FML…

A Little Bit of this, a little bit of that……

•I have two water blisters on the bone on the back of my ankles and it is killing everything in me not to pop those sap suckas! The culprit? A pair of swooshes (aka Ni-Ke) training shoes I scooped up from Sports Academy on clearance this weekend.

•Trying to be Being cute will kill ya. If you ain't know, you better ask somebody...BA-BAAAAY!!

•Guess I’ll go back to my walking shoes and stick to using the new kicks for their intended purpose of training instead walking up and down the boulevard with the pooches.

•I’ll test them out on the new Bowflex we got this weekend. Mistah is so excited. Ya’ll should see him working on his fitness. It’s cute. Lol

•I told him he should take some music in the room to help him stay motivated because he’ll get bored just listening to the sounds of the machine and ceiling fan after awhile. ‘Nah, I’ll be alright’, he says. What did I hear playing yesterday afternoon though? Mmmmmmhmmmm, he ain’t stupid…..at least not all the time.

•My sisters and I received another ‘love’ email from our mother. Just in case you haven’t been reading that long, that’s code for ‘going off’. I won’t go into detail but just know that I was designated as the peacemaker and all is well.

•She fussed talked for two hours skraight. I think I got in 50 words MAX! I was so drained and hongray after that convo. *smh and laughing*

•Sometimes I really hate that she has access to a ‘puter. LOL

•My sisters and I are soooo different. The eldest is the worrier/nurturing type, the middle is the ABW (angry black woman) and me (the baby) well I just don’t give a damn half of the time. I’m the black sheep son!

•I still haven't done my state taxes. Correction, they are done, I just haven't mailed them in. I need to put them in the car to drop off in the morning so I don't forget.

•Anyone catch the ‘Army Wives’ premiere last night? It was pretty decent. I sure hope Joan doesn’t lose her eyesight. I doubt she will thought. Lifetime won't do that.

•I’m sooooo ready for the RHONY reunion show. Just skip all the other stuff and let’s get to it!

•I wonder when the reunion show for ’16 & Pregnant’ will be? Wasn’t the episode last week the last one of the season?

•I really need to start taking the digi-cam to the local Wal-marts ‘cause honey, I saw some mess in there yesterday that would have made ya weep!

•Babs had a post about cheating and what not on her blog the other day. One of the things she listed as cheating was having dinner with someone of the opposite sex and keeping it from your mate. This stood out to me because I go out to lunch with an ex of mine every so often. We dated for a few brief months before I went off to college when I was 17 but it’s nothing I would deem a real relationship. At that age, all I knew was that I stayed horny was getting away from home and would finally get a chance to live the carefree life that God intended me to have....oh and get an education. That’s not the point though but just stating that for clarification. Anyway, I’ve never thought anything of it (or saying something) because (1)I usually go out to eat with someone each Friday or just hang by myself and (2) I don't 'report back' on any of the outings. Anyway, when I do have lunch dates the conversation is usually the same thing, we dish about work and life in general…just catch up.

•Oh and just to clarify something else, this is NOT the dude I posted about the other day. LOL

•At any rate, Mistah knows he and I are friends, I don't think I am cheating (in thought or in action)so I just leave it at that. *Kanye shrug*

And now for a musical selection........

Drop down low and sweep tha flo' wit it!

The mother of an infant daughter wearing her first lacefront wig writes: “It’s never too early for my baby to start looking glamorous like Beyonce!”
Mom said she had the wig custom made human hair to match her own lacefront. “I wouldn’t be caught dead without my lacefront and my baby won’t either!” she wrote.
But is that adhesive glue safe or gentle enough for the child’s baby hairs?





*fetched via email*

An equation.................

Homecoming+liquor+visiting with old friends+late nights+hangovers=one sucky Monday

I need a nap STAT! I think I shall be venturing out to the car shortly...............

YouTube Foolishness: Head Banger Edition

Riddle Me This...............

I usually see this ad several times during the day on the web and the same question always pops in my head. Why should I be compelled to purchase this product when the end result is showcased inside a set of charbroiled lips? I can't focus on the whiteness of it all because of those things.


For the record (and for my own sanity), I have chosen to overlook the white/butter popcorn tooth color comparison.

Record of Assault

I lifted up my head briefly to say hello after I noticed her walking in the entrance behind me at work. I was busy texting on my phone as I had been since I got out of the car. My head was still down looking at my phone as we walked to and both made our way into the elevator. While continuing to mind my own business typing in a message (and giving off a strong "don't bother me" vibe) , I see a hand coming towards me. Not just any hand, a hand full of fingers with cluster rings. I was a bit startled then annoyed as I saw what was in her hand. A business card of the pank variety with that ever noticeable font. I almost screamed but the elevator doors opened so I just grabbed the card, said thank you, and scurried out the door.

I had just been quietly assaulted by a Mary Kay rep.

Work Attire.......

Earlier this week, a question was posed in blogdome regarding appropriate work attire. I had no intention of hashing this topic until I saw, what I consider, some inappropriate work threads today.

This new chick moved into the cubicle across from me last week. She used to work at the plantation a few years ago and and just came back. She's a bit older, which is not outside the norm especially working at the non-profit I'm at, and nice enough I suppose. I've always admired nice frocks and such and have noticed that her wardrobe was pretty on point......until today. I didn't notice anything at first because I was busy working and just popped my head up to greet her as she settled in at her desk. A few hours pass and I get up to walk around to stretch my legs. I glance over and notice she has on a sweater jacket and with a top underneath. I return to my desk and then turn around a few moments later to get back up as I remember I need to go visit with a co-worker when I see it....a halter top. Dun Dun Duuuuuuuuuuun *gasp* She had taken off the jacket to reveal her shirt in all its glory.

My first thought........Ummmm, is this old ass lady for real? I mean for real for real??!! Her back was out, her almost non-existent boobs where somewhere in the mix annnnnnnnnnd I'm still not convinced she had on anybodies bra. Just because the girls are lacking in volume doesn't mean they still don't need some support. Just ewwwww. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for taking advantage of the super casual dress environment we have. We can wear just about anything we like at work, jeans everyday, shorts in the summer, flip flops (our CEO will sometimes have them on), birkentstocks (there is one lady that wears those everyday during the summer), hats, whatever. I guess I should add halter tops to the list.

I dunno, maybe I'm a prude....then again, no I'm not. You don't wear that type of shit to anyone's place of business regardless of the dress code unless you work for yourself, especially if it's damn near winter. We had a spike in temps around this area and it made it to close to 70 degrees. That is no excuse IMO. There was ice and snow on the ground not two days before. People kill me with that shit by the way....not dressing for the season. That's how you end up sick. Anyway, I showed a lot of self restraint because I promise there were times I just wanted to turn around and ask her what the fuck she was thinking but I didn't and just kept those thoughts to myself. lol I'm not sure if anything was said to her (my guess is probably not). By the time I returned to my desk she had put the sweater jacket back on but it came off again no less than 5 more times while at work.

To each his/her own I suppose but I just view stuff a bit differently. I just hope I never have to see that top again.

Without Further Ado........

.......I bring to you Christy Creams!!

Sorry for posting her pic so late after the Weekend Squared post but laziness reigned surpreme....as usual. My friend sent a text last night to remind me to send the pics I took that weekend (in Nashville). Just in case you don't remember, this is the lady we saw on Halloween Night when we took the kids to the mall to trick or treat.

FreakyD.....this donuts for you. Lol!! ENJOY!!

SOFA KING DEAD!!!

Why do folks insists on letting ish like this leak onto the internets???!!! Baby, next time just press delete. LMAO!!
