New York State Senator Eric Adams has a problem with people who wear their pants below their waist.  Apparently the biggest problem in Brooklyn is men with sagging pants.  Education, murder rates, the state of the economy… they all take a back seat to the sagging pants issues.  The senator spent $2k on the ads.

The slogan should be, “Screw everything else, Image is EVERYTHING!“

I had the opportunity during yesterday’s Johnson & Johnson/ Essence Magazine/ Ween/ b-Link event at the W Hotel in Union Square, to meet Sam Fine.  *thinkin* Damn, that was a mouth full, lolll.

I have been a fan of Sam Fine for years.  He is more of a West Coast celebrity, but loved by many throughout the country.  I was happy to find out that he was this extremely nice person.  Very handsome, well polished man in person.  Us LA girls put our make-up artist and hairstylist on high pedestals.   Sam Fine charmed all the ladies in the room.  If you haven’t heard of Mr. Fine, you are a loser and need to Google him, lolll.    Check out his books and videos here…

I decided to do my own Nina Shoes Poster, lolll.  You guys think my poster can compete with theirs?

Dear Nina Shoes:  Please don’t put a hit out on me for coming up with my “Hooker Chic Paper Doll Poster” lollll.

I like these Dyo Electra  shoes so much I felt inspired to piece together an outfit on my paper doll… but *sighs* it was harder than I thought.  In any event, I think these shoes are FABULOUS!

So here is the deal, The Kitty Bradshaw, entered a contest on Princess Dominique.com and won!!!  I am the owner of a brand new shinny pair of Nina Dyo Electra shoes.

While registering to win the contest, I found out that Nina Shoes is a New York based shoe company.  Through Twitter, I was able to track down their social media rep and drill him with questions about the company.  I learned that…

Company Overview

Nina Shoes was started in 1953 by Mike and Stanley Silverstein.  “Something borrowed, something blue, something new, and Nina Shoes”. They started out in a small loft on Prince Street, and grew into the go-to trusted shoe source for brides everywhere!    Nina Shoes, named after Stanley’s first daughter, didn’t start out making bridal shoes… their first popular pair of footwear were “Clogs”.  Although the shoes are produced elsewhere, every single pair of Nina Shoes are designed here in New York City.  Currently, Nina main showroom is located in Union Square.

So, the kind people at Nina Shoes provided me with some behind the scenes pictures.  Lets all drool over the pictures together.

When I die, my urn should have a place next to the stars…. SHOES!

Before visiting Princess Dominique.com, I didn’t know Nina Shoes had a website, or that you could customize your shoes with over 2 million shoe possibilities.

Ladies, now that it’s “Tax-mas”… take the time to go order a custom pair of heels from Nina Shoes.

OH EM GEE this movie was horrible!!!!  Watching the movie made me think that the director woke up one day and said. “I want to make a movie with really gory action scenes…. Let me throw a plot together around that”.  Like this film is the worst of the worst.  If I want gory action scenes, I will put out my “300” DVD, and call it a day.

Dear Forrest Whitaker: I know it’s hard out there for black actors to get good roles, but damn!  Did they run out of roles in Alice in Wonderland?  I have seen high school productions put together better than this.  Ray J and Kim Kardashian made a better film then this.  Like, I am going to need you to be more selective in roles now that you have Oscar Winning Actor on your resumé.  Like read the script first!

Jude Law?!  *sighs* When have we ever seen a good movie where Jude Law was the lead.  Jude, although very handsome… is a C list actor at best.

I don’t encourage pirating and/or bootlegging but this wasn’t worth the ink used to print the tickets.  When the movie wrapped at the screening, someone yelled, “I want my free pass back!”

This movie is so bad, I don’t give it a F…. I give it a Z-.

*sighs* FAIL

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to see the advanced viewing of The Miracle Worker at the Circle in the Square Theater.  Originally, I had this pre conceived notion that the play would be boring.  Prior to walking in the theater I grabbed a B I G cup of coffee to in hopes that I wouldn’t nod off during the performance.  Ok, so sue me… I had no clue who Helen Keller was, let alone the knowledge that this was a true story.  Besides walking in thinking the play would be boring, I was pretty much a blank slate.

 

The Miracle Worker is about a child who is not only blind, but deaf. The child is spoiled rotten and in need of a good beating!  The parents are enablers, and the brother is in the closet trying to emerge as a suave butterfly.  The brother used Helen Keller’s handicap (and impromptu temper tantrums) as a way of trying to get his parents to open their eyes and see the bigger picture.  All though he defended Helen, he was desperately trying to prepare his parents for the inevitable…. “His Inner Queen”.   He never came out… but at least Helen was able to communicate the letters of the alphabet.  Note: The brother never verbalized that he liked boys… but I felt his inner struggle.

I found the play very entertaining… surprisingly!  Like, I didn’t doze off not once.  I even laughed a couple of times.  Now, I don’t want you guys thinking I was biased… this was my first Broadway play…. So I was a little excited.  Like, I felt like an official New Yorker that night.  So, I urge everyone to go see it.  Not because I was excited, but because all the actors gave a great performance.
