As of tonight ground breaking news and MUCH JOY my "play" mother Ms. Dee Russell of BWWOB is getting married!!!!
CONGRATULATION to Richard LeFrak and Dee Dee Russell!!!
The founder of BWWOB walks the walk and talk the talk in how to swirl right and now getting married.
YES! YES! YES!!!
Ladies this is how you share your joy is not sharing ALL of your personal relationship business on social media especially dating & marriage!
Ms. Russell's messages are powerful, no sugar coating but plain truth and honesty about swirl dating. Being a swirler myself for over 20 years she and many black women in America who swirl right and don't give a damn about what nay-sayers say are doing it by putting a RING ON IT!
Take plenty of lessons in learning how to date someone properly. We do not need a play by play Facebook statuses, tweet, Instagram, Snapchat, KIK and all of how "yo man is sweet one week" and the next week "how you can't stand his a**." Blasting your man's behavior on social media is not the way to go.
Though I am single still mixing & mingling up a storm, dating and keeping my biz on the low.
Could not come at a better time-- AWESOME NEWS EVER in 2014!
Totally lost my mind about more great horror movies of my past that I enjoyed.
Here's more of my groovy list:
Hellraiser: How in the world did I forget about Pinhead and the Cenobites? Fools went nuts over
The "Real" O.G.'s
this movie! Guys had Pinhead shirts in high school (and I know some of you still have it) and remember teachers raising eyebrows at a really gross looking guy whose face is covered in pins. Pinhead was not only the coolest but really you could not get away from at all. Kirstie outwitted him with the box. This movie have a different element of exploring your deepest desires and pain.. Unraveling a secret and the spookiness up-stair attic the infamous puzzle box intertwines with her life as well.
"We love to explore you flesh!"
Hellraiser 2: Pinhead and the badass Cenobites following Kirstie in the much awaited sequel. This time Julia (evil stepmother) is back from the dead. Kirstie longs to find her father in Hell yeah she found something alright that cheating murdering heffa Julia who hated her so much and the forbidden affair with Uncle Frank "Come to Daddy" pervert--PUKE. What a perfect place for Hell to unleash at a psychiatric ward. I heard the costuming is inspired by the BDS&M world...GOOD JOB!
Phantasm: Booooooooooooyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!! Never forget the Tall Man!
Phantasm 2: Gore factor is decent and those "Oh Sh*t" moments while battling the Tall Man. The silver obs gosh love them. It lagged some in the plotline but remained focused on why the Tall Man did his job of making the dead--deader and crazy.
Cat People (1982): In the remake Natasha Kiniski John Heard and Malcolm McDowell (still have a crush on his old behind) are the sexy and dangerous Cat People. Cursed for generation; when sexually aroused and doing the horizontal hokey-pokey turning into panthers and kill their victims. The only catch for them not to change and murder? Incest!! Irena's innocence & impending virginity make the movie worthwhile and falling in love with John Heard. Home Alone dad was pretty obsessed with her, had some pretty good kinky elements though watched in high school; the sexual content blew my innocent little mind. Hahaha but I handled it very well.
Also the beautiful and talented late Ruby Dee played Paul's "caregiver" knowing the secret..She friggin rocked also.
*Note will watch the original Cat People soon*
Lost Boys: My daughter's all time favorite and still recite the lines. And the famous one:
"One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach all the damn vampires."
Grandpa was off the chain!! Pretty much something I would say living in a town of vampires and have to murq them in my house, defending my family. Still laugh when the little boy changes and bust out of the mattress.
DEATH BY STEREO!!
Army of Darkness: The LONG awaited sequel to EV 1 & 2. The budget was a bit better and Bruce Campbell looking crazy hawt but that was the funniest movie ever. Still have those jumpy moments...
Who cannot forget Ash's dialog? "This here is my BOOM STICK....." Off tha chain!!
People Under the Stairs: I call this Twin Peaks reverb. Funny, odd, psychotic and terribly disturbing. Everett McGill is tha shit in this movie which another linking...
Silver bullet: Remember when Everett McGill (wolf form) almost got Corey Haim on the bridge? Muthafugger scared the hell out of me! The movie is off the chain!! The story still gets my heartstrings when the older sister is narrating about her brother his relationship to his alcoholic in and out of trouble uncle (Gary Busey before crazy) and that preacher werewolf terrorizing the town. One of Stephen King's better movie.
Stephen King'sIT:Pennywise did not show no love up in Derry for shit! Thanks SK for furthering my fear of clowns, old faucet sinks and balloons. ABC did a good job of airing the three part movie back in the 90's. I read the book in 7th grade and my stupid self one night had to get the clothes off the clothesline. So darn dark and spooky that night, thought IT was hiding in the chicken coops.
"They all float down here Richie, they all float.
Dreamcatcher: One thing I cannot handle is eel like aliens going up people's asses, worse than anal probing. Thomas Jane rocked so did Timothy Olyphant--hahaha I do the finger thing when trying to find the location. Brody (Jason Lee) got jacked up in the bathroom and WTF is with Morgan Freeman's hair? A black J. Jonah Jameson jacked up on military juice.
Pumpkinhead: Lance is crazy in this movie resurrecting ol Pumkinhead and those kids deserved to DIE...lol
Near Dark: Another brilliant vampire movie without being stupid. Lance of course rocked it!
Candyman: Tony Todd is the scariest ghost from slavery's past. Slashin' up all kinds of folks and bees will never look the same to me.
Tales from the Hood: Again do not F with dolls that have a really horrible slavery past. I'm sorry but slave dolls are the scariest of the bunch. I asked my daughter when it comes down to Annabelle and the slave dolls on TFTH she said: "Annabelle does not bother me but the slave dolls is where I run and pray to God." Good scary tales told by Clarence Williams III (Mod Squad) in a funeral home those fools finally found the "shit" alright....in HELL! Wings Hauser tripped me out taking a leak on the slain politician's grave. Giving the fact spinning society problems within the black communities with a good amount of horror. Seriously this was one great horror movie in black film & entertainment.
Child's Play: Dolls and voodoo are a deadly combination (see above) when terrorizing and murdering people. Poor Andy--Good Guy doll is really a murderer. And Chris Sarandon (Fright Night) had to fight his plastic butt. Many sequels and the last movie with Brad Dourif's daughter fighting Chucky and the badass ending..And what a surprising ending too!
Halloween is approaching us and hooking the costume up I hope you enjoyed the list of horror movies I totally enjoy and watch.
I came across an article last night
Oh Lawrddd have mercy!!
I can totally understand the frustration of being a woman of color in the US with dating.. BUT.......
Put yourself OUT THERE for those to notice!
Henceforth I have darn clue why the author of this article feels like that. Don't get me wrong how the article is well written but the pity party problem can be fixed in seconds!
Stop being so brooding and pessimistic.
Get out there in the game.
Find many meet ups, join online dating sites and face to face outings where MEN ARE ROAMING!
Start smiling
Be perky
Change friendships (if some are negative) and find supporting friends that are loving and helpful.
VET all men
All you need is one guy
Stop focusing on one area and explore other areas where MEN are. Your city is not the only one standing with a % of guys; its a WORLD of men out there.
And for the sake of George Thurgood and the Destroyers stop reading "scientific" data and research about the American black woman being the "least desirable and less likely to marry" bullshit! I had two guys in my past that wanted to me in their life and marry before marrying the ex-husband.
Hmmm the question remains with black American women: Why do you put yourself in that predicament position when dating? Why the gloom and doom? Not to brag but thank goodness I had women (mother & grandmothers) to teach me to embrace my femininity and a desirable woman. Nothing wrong with being smart, educated, self-reliant and strong but take up some coaching, learn to love yourself more and think about what can you offer in being a feminine mysterious woman like no other.
Most of you will not get it, the others are leaving yo butt in the dust!
I live in the South, the rural area of Texas the butt crack of the Bible Belt so to speak but I do date various men and living my life as a non-conformist eccentric black woman. After my divorce I also too felt gloomy and pessimistic about re-entering the dating game (gladly snapping out tha ish quick!) but took the time to heal and get back out there. Baby steps and now I'm a pro at it. If he does not call or ask for a second date, no worries! Not going to boo- hoo and drip snot in a carton of ice-cream talking to myself "why the date go wrong and what's wrong with me." get over it and hit play again!
Knowing I've have poked fun at online dating profiles and out of touch men for sh*t and giggles in past postings but do keep myself showered in mystery and having so much FUN & DATING face to face with guys of the good variety!
REPEAT: Dating is a numbers game. Fill you life with variety of activities and hobbies, broaden your mind UP in every ethnicity of men. I laugh at these women crying about "there no good men and men are dogs" but I say:
What universe do you live in?
Stop throwing pity parties for yourself black women.
Looks extremely dumb and nobody cares.
Brie and gouda are excellent cheeses for your whine. Here's some fresh cut apples too.
I don't see white, latina, asian, african women doing this ever..
And for the black women here in the US that are married/dating quality men from different cultures and got the memo years/decades ago:
Horror movies is my favorite genre and still is. Growing up in the country, TV channels was limited only 3 or 2 by rabbit ears with the aluminum foil wrapped around. If you're lucky and a storm blew, KMSS from Shreveport, LA pop in for a couple days until UHF signal faded out. But we had the brilliant technology from the 80's: VCR & VHS!
VHS tapes saved our lives in the boonies though we had to wait for them seem like a whole year from what I can remember to watch a movie at home instead of going to the movie theater. Going to the movies was a treat! Watching my first movie in the old downtown theater was Stir Crazy with Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, many memories.
My aunt was a teen during the 80's and I was in elementary school. The horror genre was blowing up like crazy during that time and thanks aunt for contributing to my romance with horror!!
My Top Ten: 10. Dawn of the Dead (1978)
WTF? A zombie tore the pregnant woman's arm off!! The scariest shit to a 5 year old kid which fueled my hatred for zombies and living not too far from a graveyard. I've watched Night of the Living Dead and yes it was crazy and pretty terrifying but that took the damn cake of being held up in a shopping mall surviving a zombie apocalypse. Had nightmares for weeks thinking all of the dead relatives are coming after me and being in the country? Oh hell naw!!! I knew where my grandfather kept his guns at too...just in case. *Note on honorable mentions* 9. Re-Animator
I literally tore my afro to shreds one night watching this movie one night and the kids heard me screaming bloody murder. After hearing about this movie for so many years dared myself to watch. The most horrific night that I will not forget. And its pretty darn funny but the scene that almost made me threw my netbook against the wall & threw up in my mouth..ummm you have to see it to believe it. The stuff they got away with during the 80's. Pure GOLD.
8. Scanners
I love everything about telekinesis and having Michael Ironside as the baddie, well speaks for itself. The gore factor is mind blowing and Cronenberg have the touch of bring the human element to his movies. Very visceral and too good. Canadians have a good lean on horror, last Canadian horror movie I've watch was Pontypool. Not bad for the content and the scary element of being in a radio station barricaded while the whole world is going nuts had me shocked for days. 7. Supirira
Ahhh cute little ballerinas getting murq' left and right by a coven of witches. Italian horror is pretty gruesome to the point of covering your eyes. Starts off slow but the usage of lighting throughout the movie for eeriness, soundtrack and the all girls school is completely horror personally. Witches, I feel get shafted a lot in movies this one hits the spot.
6. Pet Cemetery
Why did you bury Church in the old Indian burial ground dude?? Herman Muster told yo ass!! Mayne again another zombie-like movie with supernatural dealing in this Stephen King novel. A selfish dude who just can't help it to bury his whole damn family except his daughter (thank goodness she had some "Shining" visiting the grandparents) Seriously did the cat tell you anything with his half-stankin butt running around that it's not the SAME when coming back from the dead? And Gage, horror enough for an 18-wheeler to run over him but to come back as a murdering undead 3 year old? Word to the wise, let the dead be DEAD. 5. Insidious
No ma'am! Not watching that ish again!! I give props for dealing with astral projection and OBD world but a hell naw too close to reality. 4. Evil Dead 1 & 2
Now lumping these together is a reason. First Evil Dead (not the bs remake) is wwwaayyyy terrifying, gross, gory and everyone DIES!! YES!! No survivors or anything just people dead. With a tight budget Sam Raimi outdid himself quite well. And leading a huge crush on Bruce Campbell before becoming an icon to ED 2. Bruce came back in the 2nd as Ash and wreck it like a G. Campy, funny and great special effects made this a cult status.
Groovy!
3. Halloween
Michael Myers, enuff said.
2. Nightmare on Elm St.
Wes Craven's finest of all time. He made the boogyman untouchable in this masterpiece and damn taking the one of the luxury's that all humans love: Sleep. Freddy Kruger was not to be played with after his death from all the parents on Elm St. torched his child murdering molesting ass into a crispy critter. Talk about a plan backfired! Waterbeds will not be the same to me seeing Depp sinking in headphones and all. The waterbed death was used again in Nightmare on Elm St. 4 when poor cute Joey got murdered.
Freddy will never eva die!!!
1. Fright Night (1985)
All of the stupid vampire movies that came out except Near Dark & The Hunger and a couple of others Fright Night is tha baddest, raddest, sexxxiest, coolest vampire movie ever!! Where do I start? You have Chris Saradon playing Jerry Dandridge, William Ragsdale as Charlie, Roddy McDowell (Planet of the Apes) Peter Vincent and Amanda Bearse as Amy. What makes it special is because it has all the right elements and played down to the pat in how a vampire movie is suppose to be. The remake is so crappy I had to remind myself that Colin Farrell is a terrible vampire but give him a pass because he's sexy. Chris made me swoon and wishing he come into my window and bite me. Let me give you a taste:
This scene is sexy and seductive and twenty years later still hypnotized and obsessed with Jerry and Amy's dance. I lost my shit watching this at sixteen years old!! Wishing I was Amy being seduced by a mysterious good-looking man who happens to be a vampire. How in the hell did he make stalking look so HAWT?? Hahahaha got mad when Charlie cockblocked intervened. And Evil Ed gosh that poor demented soul his dark twisted humor came into play before and after turning. Really, he deserved to be a vampire instead of human don't blame him one bit of accepting the offer. Roddy's performance is stellar. Attacking Peter, he stabbed Evil in chest wolf-form while he was turning back human and suffering on the floor there are at least 5 different emotions Roddy displayed in less than 2-3 minutes. That's called acting! Almost made me cry because you felt sorry for both characters; a boy found his true calling in the world and a washed up actor who found his courage and remorseful gaining in an unfortunate circumstance--battling the undead.
And the music, HOLY COW!!
Honorable Mention* Resident Evil- Restored my faith in zombies and women do kick ass (see Michonne in The Walking Dead.) Dawn of the Dead (2004)- Again restored my faith and Jake Webber--such a cutie. Dracula (1992)- Long but not bad. Shawn of the Dead- Love Simon Pegg & Nick Frost for bring comedy and horror in this mix. And I still hate David to this day...but Pete/flatmate is one sexy nude zombie. 28 Days- England/UK tops it with infected doomsday genre. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre- Still scared to live in Texas and seeing abandon houses on lonely road makes me think of Leatherface busting out in a Carl Lewis sprint with a chainsaw. From Dusk to Dawn- Mexican vampires do not give a damn about you but party their ass off with your blood! Friday the 13th 1& 2- Jason's mom is the killer but Jason rocked it later on..What I love about Jason did not give a crap who you are basically deserved to die. Sleepaway Camp- Bizarre and too bizarre.. Angela's "secret" messed me up for days. Pieces- Eat shat and die! Thanks for making me look under restroom stalls and locker room showers for a psycho killer who have mother issues..the ending is dumb tho.
Since the 80's fanatic horror heydays died down in the late 90's. Insidious made me have hope in the horror genre in this age. One of the best films that truly scared the crap out of me. Many of the horror movies are average to great in the years back notice most of my favorite are from the late 70's and 80's.
Sorry I haven't been posting been extremely busy for the past couple of weeks. Until then.....
