Is It Wrong? To Admire Members of the Same Sex

Ok, so here is this week's "Is It Wrong?"

Is it wrong that I think woman are beautiful and that I admire them? People will be quick to throw in the sexually aspect. I'm not sexually attracted to them I just like beautiful things. I think God's creation is beautiful and I can see why men be killing themselves over us. We working with some really dope equippment. Lol. If I think a woman looks pretty I'll say to myself wow her body is bangin' or she has a gorgeous face or I just love her shoes. Do I check women out? Sure. I check everyone out. I even check myself out when I feel I done nailed my look for that day. I'm a people watcher. I mean the first thing I check out on a women is her shoes (I'm a shoe fanatic so I want to see whats new and hot), just like the first thing I check out on a man is his walk. (I do it all covetly of course) I just feel like its so taboo for people to admire those of the same sex. If you gotta say no homo everytime you say someone of the same sex looks good its taboo. I say if your smokin' hot you are (male or female) and I won't hate, I'll appreciate your beauty (while I quietly wish I had it like that). To me its all good. Hey, I think Jada Pinkett-Smith is one of the baddest females out there. But is it wrong?

Ya Tink Ya Know Me

I was tagged by Ms. Sunshine to list 20 facts about myself that no one would know... sorry for being so late (been crazy busy) but without further ado:

1. I bit my nails til I was 13 years old. Like bit the nail totally out of the nail bed. Yes I know, disgusting. (this is shocking to most cuz my nails are mad long now)
2. I wasn't allowed to date til I was 18.
3. I went on my first date when I was 19.
4. I own 50+ pairs of shoes
5. I am severely allergic to all nuts (except roasted peanuts and creamy peanut butter), sesame seeds, Artificial (fake) strawberry and coconut, ragweed, pollen, dust, animal hair, and certain fragrances. Sad, I know :(
6. I smell all my food before I eat it. (See #5 for reason)
7. Football is my life. I follow the stats, watch the draft, have my own fantasy teams, and watch religiously on Sundays (games and highlights)
8. I'll wear men's and children's clothing if it looks good on me (Don't judge me)
9. Some of the clothes in my wardorobe are at least 40 years old if not more (vintage baby)
10. When I was a kid I put aluminum foil in the microwave and it blew up (I didn't know)
11. If my toes are cold I can't sleep. Everything else can be cold but my feets got to be warm.
12. I've had my wedding planned (dress, music, color scheme, etc.) since Jr. High. Now I just need a groom.
13. I love spicy food. If its too bland gotta add hot sauce. (This is courtesy of my grandpa. That Trinidadian hot sauce was always on the dinner table.)
14. I cook with no salt. But you would never know. In the words of one of my girls, my food is "mad seasoned". Lol
15. I love milk. Especially chocolate milk. The first memory I have as a kid was asking my mom to put chocolate milk in my bottle.
16. The nickname my young people gave at church is Grandma. I wear it like a badge of honor. I'm old-fashioned and proud of it.
17. I got my first pair of heels in 6th grade. They were brown and I wore them with everything even though it didn't match. Thats when my love affair with shoes began.
18. I've tripped up the stairs twice in public places. Once in high school and the other at Grand Central train station. Tell me why I couldn't stop laughing?
19. People thought me and my sister were twins because my mom always dressed us alike.
20. Growing up I secretly wanted to be overweight with glasses so that I looked more like everyone in my family. Bump being skinny with 20/20 vision. Lol.

There you have it. Didn't know all this about me, did ya?

If your reading this right now you are officially tagged.

Get to posting.

My Shoes Are Coming!!!!!

This a sidebar from what I usually write about but I was just so excited.

For those who know me they know I'm a shoe fanatic (not an addict cuz I can quit anytime. That sounds like something an addict would say doesn't it? lol). Anyhoo, I haven't bought a pair of shoes in such a long time. So the other day I was browsing Nine West's online store (this has become my new favorite shoe store) and of course I went to the sale items (i love shoes but I'm not gonna break my bank over them). Now usually I just look because their shoes are so expensive but the sale was amazing. I'm talking shoes that were $80, $90 now just $30. They were calling me. And having been in a shoe drought (the styles right now just haven't been grabbing me lately) I bought 4 pairs plus a handbag (it was on sale too ;) ). They are the cutest sandals! In total it came to $164.95. Not too much damage and not bad for 4 pairs of shoes and a bag (thats $33 per item roughly).


So I check my email this morning and I see that they've shipped and are slated to arrive today. I only ordered them 2 days ago. I am so stoked. I get such a rush when I get home and they're waiting for me. I'm jumping up and down on the inside (I very well can't do it here in my office).



I can't wait!
