Berkshire Black Opaque Tights-

Berkshire manufactures the Rose Royce of black tights. These tights last for a good two years if you know how to take care of them… but for those who don’t know how to handle your delicates, they will last you through the winter… (hopefully you will not be break dancing in the streets.)

Dr. Bummers Castle Soap:

Dr. Bummers Castle Soap Almond Scent Soap(Peppermint during the summer) …. buy this at the health food store or online. Now you need soap year round but certain soaps I use certain times of the year.

Wintertime boyfriend-

 

This is a must have! Now the thing about wintertime boyfriends is they have to be gone come spring. I repeat all wintertime boyfriends expire March 21st. They go bad like milk…
Kitty says: Oh, yes!  I can definitely see myself being faithful during the winter to this one right here! :)

Rainboots-

I don’t know what I would have done without these last winter. I had the little cheaply paisley ones from Payless, but moving forward I am going to invest in some better quality ones for this coming winter.

Lip chap-

lolll as ole girl said from Charm School. I like the cocoa butter chap sticks

Isesotoner Gloves-

with the lambs skin interior. I can’t deal with cheap gloves… your fingertips will fill warm like a mothers love on those below zero days.

Large Purse-

ok ok I carry this year round but I really carry it during winter.
Kitty Say’s: I have had dreams where Terrell Owens and I are walking down the street and he is holding my left arm and I have this purse in my right arm.  *sighs* Such a wonderful dream :)

Cashmere scarf-

yall know who sells good ones? Banana Republic… I also like their big umbrellas. Good sturdy quality.

Umbrella-eh-eh-

A good quality one! Not those little cheaply ones you buy on the corners. You say you lose them? Trust me when you spend on a good quality umbrella, you will guard it like your wallet.

A nice winters coat-

Ladies please invest in a feminine wool coat for the winter. They looks so much more chic then those big, obnoxious, puffy, trash bag coats. If you get a size bigger, and layer underneath it… they will keep you warm.

Vitamin E  oil-

to moisturize the skin. I don’t know about yall, but my skin gets soooo dry in the winter. I put vitamin e oil on my skin everyday.

Cocoa Butter-

This in conjunction with the Almond soap will have you smelling like a chocolate bar :)

Essence Magazine Sucks!

"Cultivate your curves - they may be dangerous but they won't be avoided." -- Mae West

 

Today I read the November issue of Essence Magazine and shook my head in disbelief. I remember this magazine being interesting once upon a time, now it’s about as relevant to the black women as butt injections. I read it and I thought to myself, “Boy I am glad I didn’t purchase this magazine”. Let me break Essence Magazine in a nutshell 

Advertisements: 75% of the magazine is Ad’s 

Barack Obama: Okay, I Kitty Bradshaw am voting for Barack Obama… but I’m thinking it would of been interesting for Essence to spotlight other Presidential Candidates… also I am sure there are other African Americans running for office throughout the country (i.e. Mayors, Senators, Judges, etc…) can they get some shine too?! I mean they need our vote on Nov. 4th as well… 

 

.5% is dedicated to truly interesting people and they get one paragraph to introduce themselves. In the November issue Idris Elba got his half paragraph=30 seconds of shine in Essence… and the Journalist asked him some random dumb question about his accent?! 

Kitty Bradshaw’s thoughts: Ok, you have an intelligent successful black man sitting in front of you and the best you could ask was about his accent?! I’ve read more interesting interviews in Black Tail Magazine smh…. Essence needs to hire me to do some interviewing… I will get the answers Black Women want to hear! 

 

Black Women in Debt: *thinking* are all black women in debt?! Must we read about black women in debt every month?! I mean are black women the only race of women who go into debt?! Can we spotlight black women who have their finances in check for once?! What do they do in their spare time?! *sheesh* already! 


Black women overweight:
Ok, Black women with weight issues need to be addressed… but someone needs to do a better job of working it into the issue. It’s like an Elephant thrown into a china store… it makes you wanna ignore it. It doesn’t fit… I would post some idea’s but then again I am not getting paid for my contributions so I will keep them to myself for now. If the powers that be at Essence want to hit me up for consulting… I am at their service (for a small fee of course). 

Book Section: To many pages are dedicated to buying books 8 for a penny…. then you get the best sellers list… then you get one paragraph dedicated to the Book of the Month Club…. wait, why is it that they always pick the most uninteresting book to read?! Lastly, is it too much to get an honest opinion on a book?! I mean I don’t necessarily like every book that I read… hell I can’t stand any book that Zane writes and can list reasons why. Why does Essence always got to give every author free positive press regardless if the book is good or bad. If that’s the case Essences should just do a “Pick’s of the Month” and keep it pushing. 

Beyonce: Ok, she was the cover girl of the month… but I find that every issue has Beyonce in it in some form or fashion. ENOUGH ALREADY! Ok, she is pretty! She sells records! She is also the most uninteresting, successful person in history! She has nothing to say that is worth hearing. Essence… everyone is not a fan! It’s not hate… it’s called having the God-given right to like something other than Beyonce. Everyone’s taste are not the same… Essence latches on to one topic or person and they beat you over the damn head with it!!!! I think Beyonce should become the editor of Essence, lolll. 

Speaking of which, what happened to the chick with Corn Rows?! She did a good job of running Essence. They need to bring her back ASAP! 

 

Recipes: Umm… fire the chef! The same type foods/ same colors/ same damn thing just a different ingredient every month! I have some ideas here as well, but then again I am not getting paid for consulting! I am sending my rant into Essence and let’s see if they respond. 

*sighs* Essence… I dislike what you have become… don’t get me wrong I don’t hate you like I hate BET but I am a concerned reader who is saying: It’s not to late to make a change! 

Kind Regards,
Kitty Bradshaw

Below you will find video and transcript of the final presidential debate between Barack Obama and John McCain.

(Commission On Presidential Debates) The following is a transcript of the third and final presidential debate between Republican Sen. John McCain, Ariz., and Democrat Sen. Barack Obama, Ill., on Oct. 15, 2008 at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y.. The moderator of the debate was Bob Schieffer, CBS News chief Washington correspondent and moderator of Face The Nation. This transcript was released by the Commission on Presidential Debates.

SCHIEFFER: Good evening. And welcome to the third and last presidential debate of 2008, sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates. I’m Bob Schieffer of CBS News.

The rules tonight are simple. The subject is domestic policy. I will divide the next hour-and-a-half into nine-minute segments.

I will ask a question at the beginning of each segment. Each candidate will then have two minutes to respond, and then we’ll have a discussion.

I’ll encourage them to ask follow-up questions of each other. If they do not, I will.

The audience behind me has promised to be quiet, except at this moment, when we welcome Barack Obama and John McCain.

(APPLAUSE)

Joe the Plumber

Ohio plumber becomes focus of debate
Meet Joe Wurzelbacher; he says he couldn’t buy business under Obama plan
The Associated Press
updated 10:41 p.m. ET, Wed., Oct. 15, 2008

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Who is Joe the Plumber?

He is Joe Wurzelbacher, an Ohio man looking to buy a plumbing business who came to symbolize the notion of spreading the wealth in Wednesday night’s third and final presidential debate between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain.

Earlier this week, when Wurzelbacher got a chance to speak with Obama during a campaign appearance in Toledo, he told Obama that his tax plan would keep him from buying the business that currently employs him.

Sensing an opportunity during the debate, McCain cited that exchange when the candidates were asked to explain why their economic plans are better than their opponent’s. McCain said Obama’s plan would stop entrepreneurs from investing in new small businesses and keep existing ones from growing.

“Joe wants to buy the business that he has been in for all of these years, worked 10, 12 hours a day. And he wanted to buy the business but he looked at your tax plan and he saw that he was going to pay much higher taxes,” McCain challenged Obama.

“You were going to put him in a higher tax bracket which was going to increase his taxes, which was going to cause him not to be able to employ people, which Joe was trying to realize the American dream,” McCain said.

Differences over tax policy
McCain then looked directly into the television camera and said: “Joe, I want to tell you, I’ll not only help you buy that business that you worked your whole life for and I’ll keep your taxes low and I’ll provide available and affordable health care for you and your employees. And I will not stand for a tax increase on small business income.”

Obama denied that was true.

“Not only do 98 percent of small businesses make less than $250,000, but I also want to give them additional tax breaks, because they are the drivers of the economy,” Obama said. “They produce the most jobs.”

So what did Wurzelbacher (pronounced whur-zell-BAHK-er) think about becoming the center of the debate?

“It’s pretty surreal, man, my name being mentioned in a presidential campaign,” he said minutes after hearing McCain utter his name.

In Toledo on Sunday, Wurzelbacher told Obama that he was preparing to buy the company, which earns more than $250,000 a year, and said: “Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn’t it?”

Obama said that under his proposal taxes on any revenue from $250,000 on down would stay the same, but that amounts above that level would be subject to a 39 percent tax, instead of the current 36 percent rate.

“And the reason why we’re doing that is because 95 percent of small businesses make less than 250 (thousand). So what I want to do is give them a tax cut. I want to give all these folks who are bus drivers, teachers, auto workers who make less, I want to give them a tax cut,” he said.

Spread the wealth around
Wurzelbacher protested, saying he’s been a hardworking plumber for 15 years and why should he be taxed more.

“It’s not that I want to punish your success,” Obama said. “I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you that they’ve got a chance at success, too.”

At a later point in the discussion, Obama said: “I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody. But listen, I respect what you do and I respect your question, and even if I don’t get your vote, I’m still gonna be working hard on your behalf because small businesses are what creates jobs in this country and I want to encourage it.”

Wurzelbacher’s name came up again when the debate turned to a discussion of health care policies.

He said Obama’s reaction on the tax question left him feeling uneasy.

“I didn’t think much of it the first time I heard it,” Wurzelbacher said, adding that he still thinks Obama’s plan would keep him from buying the business.

About McCain: “He’s got it right as far as I go.”

Even so, Wurzelbacher declined to say which candidate would get his vote on Nov. 4.

“That’s for me and a button to know,” he said.
