A picture shows a colorful portrait of Marilyn Monroe made up of hundreds of balloons on display at the 2009 Balloon Art World challenge event in Bangkok, Thai.
A young very attractive lady in a bright blue sun dress stepping off the train as I waiting to get on with, her head completely bald.
I'm talking about clean as a whistle, I couldn't help but stare, she saw me stare and met my eyes at first with what I think was curiosity than maybe uncertainty than she looks away with what think might have been self conscious expression and went about her business.
I entered the train and immediately regretted not saying anything.
Just to say, "hey, I like what your doing".......
......"I just want to say that I think you look stunning"........
......"You look beautiful"......
That's all, and just go about my way.
When you come across something different, something unique, something special, something beautiful, you should take the time to appreciate it and say so.
I'm way late with these but better late than never.
Before BET became............well......BET, it used to have a decent show called Rap City.
Hosted by cool VJ in Joe Clair and the ultimate around the way girl Leslie "Big Lez" Segar.
Back than rap wasn't the mess it is now everything was new, innovated, sincere and somewhat innocent, and Rap City and Big Lez personified that.
Most dudes I knew had a crush on Lez, she was the girl next door that you wanted to get with and if you couldn't you didn't want to see her done dirty.
She managed to be sexy in a wholesome sort of way that only she seems could only pull off and make believable.
Yeah you wanted to do all sorts of nasty things to her in the bedroom, but you wouldn't mind putting a ring on her finger to do it.
The multi talented & highly respected dancer/choreographer, on-air radio DJ, television journalist & VJ, fitness specialist & stage & film actress is the "Jane of All Trades, Master of All"
A woman in demand, Leslie was recently one of the CO-hosts of the Steve Harvey Morning Show in Los Angeles, at her former number 1 station, 100.3 The Beat/KKBT, Los Angeles.
Always ahead of the curve, Leslie was also the on-air DJ & producer of "Hot Jamz," the premiere national commercial free R&B music station on Sirius Satellite Radio. Leslies at-home studio allows for extensive voice tracking & voice over production.
Lez...as she is known throughout the industry, has radio experience that has traveled across the country. From her on air midday radio DJ stint @ Los Angeles 92.3 The Beat/KKBT, to New York's/WQHT/Hot 97, Atlanta's WAOK/V103 along with Los Angeles's Big Boy Morning Show at KPWR/Power 106
This former host & producer of BET's Rap City (7 years) is credited for conducting many first interviews for international artists like, 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G., Outkast, Wyclef Jean, the Fugees and more. Her incredible television experience allows her to flow with or without the use of teleprompters, or scripts allowing for a natural flow of knowledge & personality.
She makes "you go girl" songs, (damn good ones though).
She DEMANDS the spot light at the expense of every one around her.
And she has successfully muscled her way into the exclusive club of black actors and actresses that can find work consistently at the expense of season and more talented thespians.
And to add insult to injury she is in the even more exclusive clique of actors that pretty much get what ever they want done, (Denzel, Will, Jamie and Halle, although she got one more bad movie to make and her ass is out the club).
And that boys and girls is why she is Stunna of the month.
The woman is a go getter!!!
She is in it to win it!!!
I got to respect her grind.
She has an army of haters but she could care less she keeps it coming.
*****Warning: The Ability For Critical Thinking Required Before Reading This Post. The Slow Witted Need Not Continue.*****
Well now that I am back I have some catching up to do so shall we begin than?
Lets see what has gone on.......
****Yeah I missed putting out a Stunna of the month last month so for the March is Beyonce...
I, for some reason, love this lady for more than her good looks, yes a swagga jacker, the master of chick songs, the non acting actress.......
but damn if baby ain't a go getter!!!!!!!
You cant deny it that woman and her team puts in WORK!
She also has the juice to get movies made with black people in it that we wouldn't normally see.
Tell the truth now who else could have gotten Obsessed on the big screen and make it win at the box office?
Only she can that's who.
That's why I put her on.
****My mother is coming into town to try to talk me into going to medical school.....in Mexico.
Lets see......drug wars.....kidnappings.......Swine flu.......being a broke college student......my hatred for moving around fueled by her love for moving around when I was a kid......oh yeah and the whole language thing.
*****Yes that's right the President is still black and the nation has not gone the way of the old Roman empire as of yet.
How ever the GOP have collectively lost it's damn mind........errr....more so than usual that is....
Tea bagging...I mean tea parties?
Do these people even know what there mad about?
Your mad because Obama gave you a tax break?
Or are you mad because he hiked up the taxes on the wealthy, which is not you all, and made them pay there fair share?
Or are you mad about the stimulus package when your own leaders didn't provide a reasonable alternative?
How can Faux News still consider the stuff the spew out journalism?
I would have sympathy for the crazy since i lost my mind a couple of weeks ago but this ish right here is on a whole new level and it doesn't look like there going to stop or get back into power any time soon at this rate which makes me say.............
****You know I do love chicken but........
I just don't recall Popeye's chicken being that good, maybe it's me..........
****Irony: It is rumored that in the Essence magazine Halle Berry says she is done with black men cause they treated her like ish. (If half of what she says is true who can blame her)
The Ironic part you ask?
Wesley Snipes, who dated Halle, said basically the exact same thing about black women a few years ago in an Ebony magazine.
I wonder why it never worked out between the two they seemed like such a perfect match. (Insert venomous dripping sarcasm here.)
****On another note should black men drop her like a bag of hot funk now that she said that, the way black women dropped Snipes when he opened up his big mouth?
While were at it exactly how bright are these two to basically ish on half the fans that made you?
****Bristol Palin, Levi Johnston Call Off Their Engagement.
NO!!!!!!!!!
This cant possibly be true. (Again insert sarcasm for the short yellow bus riders among you).
They were such a perfect match, I just knew they were going to make it, like......well....like the Obamas.
I haven't been this disappointed since Whitney and Bobby Brown broke up......seriously.
****Monkeys with Guns 9.
I hated I missed this one......
Dude seriously?
You just gonna give her a beat down on camera like that?
I actually cringed when I saw this.
Yes she is a thief and I have no doubt she ran her mouth but....WTF?!
You don't do no mess like that to a woman, a kid, hell anybody!
Lets take a couple of notes here.
1- He did it quickly which means he has done it before.
2- Since he didn't pause he has beaten women before.
3- His partner backed him up quickly which means he has been through this before.
Dude does not need to have a job in law enforcement.
We (as in me) here at The Happy Go Lucky Bachelor would like to take the time to remind are readers(Thank You), lurkers (when your ready to say something feel free), passer bys (come again), and or haters (I hate you too), who may not know or have for gotten, that here in this part of what I liked to call the Parisian part the Blogosphere..........................................
We Love Candy!!!
Actually I cant stand sweets, hate it, but you know where i am going with this.
I stopped posting these cause I really didn't see any women that moved me anywhere other in my pants.
But why pass on an opportunity to drool at beautiful women because they are not building rockets to Mars?
So for January I open back up the Stunnas of the month with Toccara Jones.
Toccara Jones(born March 13, 1981) from Dayton, Ohio, is an American fashion model, occasional actress and television personality.
Jones was a contestant on the third season of the UPN series America's Next Top Model.
Jones attended Stivers School for the Arts in Dayton, where she majored in theatre and dance.
She was the seventh contestant eliminated on the third cycle of America's Next Top Model, where she won "Covergirl of the Week" four times. She was recently voted as one of the most memorable contestants by AOL Entertainment
Jones was honored by the Middleton Ohio NAACP at the Freedom Fund Gala. She received a key to the city.....
Now Toccara is what we call Amazon, meaty in all the right places and height to go with it.
Type of women that when you see her makes you hungry for some catfish that don't come out of no lake.
You look at her and the way she carries her self and you see promises of satisfaction guaranteed.
Curves above and below the stomach area crowned with a oval face big eyes, thick lips and a smile that lights up a room.
For those who have not gotten locked up, admitted to the hospital, alcohol poisoning, woken up to a stranger an are now on the way to get tested for a STI, and or have a hangover..........I am sorry your New Years was so damn boring.
For those who did do one or more of the above....at a boy and girl.
Moving on.
There is nothing more unattractive than a woman with low self esteem, nothing.
I don't care how fine she is.
You can pull any woman off my Stunna list here, to see the type of woman who I think are fine.
But take away those same women's poise, confidence, swagga?
Than they are the ugliest trolls to walk the earth.
Ive come across women like that all the time in my adventures in romance.
Women who think a man who beats on them is showing them love.
Women who look at super models and swear they themselves are too fat.
Women who look at video models and swear they themselves are too skinny.
Dark skin women who want to be light.
Light skin women who want to be dark.
My favorites are the ones who like to break down their blood line to you, I got Indian, Arab, white, Chinese, or what ever in them.
Like I can tell or care.
Now don't get me wrong in a country were beauty is obsessed over, and the media plays mind tricks on what that beauty looks like women have it tough.
You would have to raise a little girl in a cave away from TV, magazines, Internet and boys to get her mind completely right.
But that's little girls, I shouldn't have to put up with a grown woman depressed because her insecurities kick in the moment she doesn't get enough attention.
Tell her she is beautiful she thinks your teasing her.
Another woman walks in the room and she think you want to sleep with her.
Blames every one but her self for the way she feels.
How you see your self is what other people will pick up on and give right back to you.
You got to love your self before some can love you.
Now I am not a shallow fellow at all, and I am not one to judge a woman on physical appearance.
As I stated in a past post, I am more likely to pay attention to what is sexy about the woman as opposed to what people consider beautiful.
So I don't notice flaws like having slight gap in your teeth, scars from cat fights (I think that is sexy as hell BTW), lisps or whatever.
But I will notice this right here.....
Oh yeah I ain't gonna ignore that my good lady.
If you can climb a tree bare foot with out using your hands than there is a problem.
If you can put fires out by stomping on them with your bare feet that there is a problem.
Now what I am talking about here is neglect, not flaws that cant be helped.
Like I knew a woman who had half a left foot as the result of a lawn mowing accident as a kid.
The didn't have enough flesh to close the wound so the took part of her Mons pubis...... ....and closed up the wound.
Crazy thing is that she would grow hair in that are, pubic hair, and she had wavy hair so it would be like these long strands.
I remember one time I hit on her and she told me she was on her period to which I replied "can I play with your foot than?" ;)
I wonder if you sucked on that foot would it be considered oral sex?
Yet once again I digress.
But that right there she cant help, it was was not up to her and besides she kept it Brazilian style when she could.
Also like those women that have the longer second toe.....
What the hell is up with that?
It's like are not all the way humane or something?
The point is accidents and genetic flaws get a pass with me, I am not the best genetic example of mankind either.
But this ish here.....
Where you are basically not taking care of your self is unacceptable, as the great Kool Moe Dee would say "Go See The Doctor". That joint right there is trifling.
Hell it ain't that hard to groom your self why your feet look like you have been walking bare foot through a cow farm?
That don't make no type of sense.
Hell I once gave a woman a pedicure because I didn't like the way her feet was looking.
True I just used that as an excuse to seduce her but none the less the condition of her feet were appalling.
Really that's for both men and women but on women it looks exceptionally ugly.
You ever see some one with a lot of tats and it reminds you of the New York city subways of the 80s?
Like their skin was vandalised by graffiti artists, and not in a good way.
I'm talking to the point that your not even sure what race the person is.
On women this is particularly annoying.
Used be a time when girls would get a tat in a discreet location, feet, back, butt, and chest.
Things got serious when they started doing like dudes and getting them on the bicep but I could deal with it if it wasn't something girlie.
But some locations are just a no go.
Like the neck.
That's just tacky and ensures me that I am going to have problems out of you.
I once dated a woman from New Orleans who had a butterfly tat under eye, (I'll tell you about them New Orleans women later that is a whole other type of woman right there), it was cool at first, but every time I tried to look into those pretty big brown eyes I get stuck on that butterfly
The places I can take a woman with a tat on her neck is limited, but I assure you my mother's house will not be one of them.
Way I look at it if I cant go from one body part to another with out running into a tat that that's too much.
If we go out and your wearing a dress that shows some flesh and it looks like I got the female version of Tupac on my arm that's to much.
That's just my pet peeve, no woman I date should look like she can out fight me in a bar.
I wasn't sure I was going to post a Stunna of the month for September, I didn't feel motivated by any women lately.
But than I was watching TV One the other night and came across a Living Single marathon.
I always liked that show, not sure why since I tend to shy away from all entertainment geared toward women.
I guess it was because of the lack of quality programing for black people at the time, (and now), that when you came across a good show you stuck with it.
Living Single was good, and no one was better on it than Maxine Shaw played by Erika Alexander.
She stole the show, just by standing there.
The character Maxine seemed to be the exact opposite of Erika who always seemed cool calm and collected off camera while her character Maxine was hell in heels.
She stood out from the rest, her walk (I swear she was going to tip over any moment in those high heel), the Sharp business suits, the dreads, the way she injected swagga into her character, her go getta attitude and out right hostility, I wasn't sure if I had a crush on the character or the actress.
I look at that as a sign of good acting.
Bottom line, the woman is just hands down sexy.
And of course like all good black actors and especially actresses now you see them now you don't.
When Living Single went off the air she was vanished from my memory, making appearances in shows or movies I don't watch.
Another in a long line of under used talent.
I hated that Living Single went off the air robbing me of my chance to see Erika on the tube on a regular basis.
Hell I think I got bitter with it, till this day I hate the show Girlfriends, always saw it as a knock off, a sophisticated knock off, but a knock off none the less.
So with that said My Stunna of the month for September is Erika Alexander.
Erika Alexander (born November 19, 1969 in Winslow, Arizona) is an American actress.
Alexander got her big break as Pamela "Pam" Tucker on the critically-acclaimed NBC sitcom, The Cosby Show. She later starred alongside Whoopi Goldberg in the 1990 civil rights epic, The Long Walk Home. Perhaps her most memorable role was as acid-tongued attorney, Maxine 'Max' Shaw on the FOX sitcom, Living Single, a role she played for five years.
Erika's role as Pam Tucker brought a fresh spin to The Cosby Show. She played a girl who is sent to live with relatives when her grandmother is taken ill. At first she doesn't feel she fits in due to strict rules, but she soon learns that the rules are out of love. Pam is a simple girl who wants to go to college, but doesn't really have the grades. She is usually with her best friend, the outspoken Charmainne, and Charmainne's boyfriend, Lance.
In international cinema, Ms. Alexander played the role of Hidimbi in Peter Brook's adaptation of The Mahabharata. She also played a young Flora in the TV miniseries Mama Flora's Family.
Her voice is featured on The Bible Experience.
She later actively campaigned for Hillary Clinton and toured college campuses with Chelsea Clinton, during the 2008 US Democratic Party Primary.
(we wont hold her support for Hillary Clinton against her)
I have no idea why this irks the hell out of me but it does.
It drives me crazy, violent type crazy wear I want to pull out a wet wash cloth and start rubbing it on the lips of random black women wearing that cursed color red.
I am writing this cause I came across a smooth skinned woman the other day who was wearing red lipstick, she was redbone her self so you would think it wouldn't be so bad, but hell no.
My neck stiffened up and I do that thing with my jaw when I'm trying to bite my tongue.
I wanted to be like "yo you want me to pay for you to see a make up artist?".
That mess right there has me unstable, when ever I see it.
I am not sure when this started to drive me batty, I suspect in the 90's, when everybody should have shaken off the horrors that was called 80's fashion and style.
Now although I see my self as a professional women watcher, I am normally a soft touch when it comes to women and style, to me any style that I haven't seen yet is good style.
I value more than mainstream media's view of beauty.
I like it all.
Artsy.
Ghetto.
Cool.
Scandalous.
Girls next door.
I can deal with it all styles, trends, fads from head to toe.
All but red lipstick.
I know that red lipstick came about to remind men of the vagina and that getting oral sex was like getting the real thing, (bloody hell it is).
I'm not impressed.
I have passed on women who wear it.
I have come up with all sorts crazy ideas to get it off the face of a woman I am dating.
One time I hid an ex's lipstick after she put it on than gave her a big wet one so that it was smudge all on her face so she had no choice but to take it off.
As a kid I threw out my mother's and blamed it on my little brother.
I spent money on Mac, Fashion Fair, just so a lady I was dating could switch it up.
I can deal with any other color, black to purple to brown and to all of it mixed into one.
But red?
I hate that mess.
I'm not sure why but I suspect as a kid I started seeing red lips as insulting.
You see this mutha right here.....
....reminds me of this.....
....which reminds me of this....
......which has me doing this....
It doesn't matter what shade of red, or what shade of black black women, hell doesn't even matter if its a white woman.
