Experiencing Dreams....

Today at 11:10 am I saw Dreamgirls.

It was

A

Religious Experience!!!!!

That damn movie better win super big at the Oscars and the Golden Globes("Golden Globe" is my #2's line name:))!!! I'll can't even really write paragraphs about it, so I'll do my usual ADHD snippets.

Beyonce-Did I good job acting and her performance in even musical scene was crazy. I didn't see much of parallel between her"beyonce" and Deena. It was very different in my opinion. Catch her smoking a Newport,yall!!

Jamie Foxx- Didn't show any of his corny-ness. Even in Ray he was funny but he was not funny in this movie. His character reminded me, believe it or not,alot of my kids' father.

Eddie Murphy- He was funny,though. James"Thunder" Early was serious.

Anika Noni Rose-I'm such a fan of hers now. I love her evolution in the movie.

Keith Robinson( CC White)- Remember him as Lil Dee Dee's boyfriend on Half and Half? He is Delicious!!! Cute and can "sang"! My perfect combo.:)

Jaleel White- Yep,Urkel is up in that piece for a minute. Looking sexy.

The music- the musical numbers,especially the big production ones were out of this world. They make want jump out of your seat and scream like you are in them. Every last one Ms. Jennifer did alone were like all eyes on her!

The fashion and makeup- The movie's costuming especially when they got to the 70s was breathtaking. Of course Beyonce's wardrobe was on point. But Jennifer's...I would have worn every single, umpire-waist caftan,wooden earring and necklace,glossy plum lip on this planet. There is one scene that Beyonce's wearing this bowl-cut wig with this striking turquoise eyeshadow. That shadow will be rocked by me soon!! But you can't overlook the eyeliner, thick line, thin line, full eye. Must do black liquid eyeliner...soon.

Last but not least...

Jennifer Hudson- That woman is out of this world. She acted, she cried,she bullied,she begged,she lost and she won. She gave me a new belief in winning in life. What I got from her story is lay down the pride and CHANGE.:)

Go see it now!!'

Beauty Find of the Day!!!

I found The Healing Garden Organics Body Lotion in Olive and Aloe at Walgreens. The smell is very "green" and refreshing great for early in the morning and the moisturizer is lightweight and goes on quite smooth. I kind of wish it came in a body butter, but that's me...I must be smothered in lotion!! But a great buy otherwise. It also has a body wash and body spray to match.

Just Another Day...

Christmas this year felt like another day. I wished that it could have been joyous but I wasn't for me. Other than watching my children play til they collapsed in toy induced coma, yesterday felt majorly empty. I wanted to be away from it all. So, I buried myself in The Accidental Diva for the third time and sipped cups of hot cocoa and E&J to soothe the pain of not seeing my Dad rant about the massive amounts of toys my children received. He would have been even more pissed if he had seen all the clothes they got. They can wear something new each day for a month! That's the amount clothes and outfits they got. Before he passed he had bought them US savings bonds that arrived in the mail Saturday. What a man:)

I got a couple of things. Not much. The boys' father/person gave me a gift card to Target. At least his ass thought about it this time. My mom bought me a 1/4 dark grey wool coat with a coordinating scarf. God, did I need a coat!!! I ate good food and waiting for the day to end. The new year is approaching and I'm working on my fashion and beauty resolution list. I don't make those resolutions like lose weight and save money. It never happens. Instead I make fun ones that I know I can hit. I'll post that soon.

Here's a pic of me Christmas Day. I'm wearing on my eyes, Wet N'Wild Mega Eyes Trio in Mojave Mauves smoked out. I'm also wearing a head wrap. I wear them especially on days off when I want to give my hair a rest. And yes I finally got my worn out digital camera fixed!!

Muah!

Why It Pays to live in a Small Town by Jamie

This morning I recieved a call from the main post office here in town telling me that they had a package for me from Hawaii(It was a swap from a MUAer) and they thought it might be a Christmas gift and for me to come up there and pick it up before 11:00 am. The main desk part was not open so I had to ring a"bell" and they opened the door and gave me FOUR packages. and last night was just on my knees for the zillionth time praying for God to move me and my kids up out of this piece!! I still want to leave but I just thought that kind of kindness would have NEVER happened in Rock Hill ( which is about 60 miles away) or (please...) Charlotte. Ah...Su'thern Hospitality!!!!
