I left my apartment about 8am this morning. The wind was blowing, but not as strong as yesterday, and the temperature was much warmer today. Parents holding their children hands as they cross the street and other kids were rushing off to school. It was a nice morning. That is until I saw a girl come out of one of the buildings in some black leggings.
Now don't get me wrong. I love leggings! They are an essential part of any fashionista closet, but you have to remember the rule when buying leggings. Here is another important note for my readers. Run your hand underneath the legging to see if you can see your skin through the material. It almost like the matching test you do for pantyhose except you DON'T want to see your skin through these! If you can see your skin through the legging you know those are only meant to worn under clothing. For example a dress, skirt, or a very long shirt. I don't think I have to tell you, but I will anyway. This young lady had on a short jacket and shirt that stopped at here waste. I got a clear picture of the young women's underwear as she walked a few feet ahead of me.
"Oh Lord" Does she not realize that you can see all of her draws in the back? Further more she was plus size. You know that made it 2x as bad and that's just the honest truth! I wanted to tell her so bad! Consequently living in New York City, you just never know how someone will respond to you talking to them, especialy when they don't know you!
Hmm...well, You know we thick girls got to stick together! I politely walked up to her and said " do you know you can see right through your leggings? You have on white underwear with a rid brim:-( "
Thankfully she didn't flip out on me. She actually apologize twice for me having to see them. Yet she didn't do anything to try to cover herself. About two or three seconds passed as we continued to walk in the same direction and then she said to me "It just was one of those nights, you know what I'm saying?" I smiled back politely and said "ohh, alright", and she told me to "have a good day".
Okay readers this could mean a ton of different things. I personally thought she was tying to tell me that she had a late night booty call. In that case maybe she just threw on some clothes, because she thought she would be through before the sun came up..?? LMAO! I really don't know. Please tell me what you think she meant by that.

8o's/90's Party
I went to a tavern this past Saturday for an 80's/90's party. The atmosphere was pretty cool. It wasn't to big, but yet not small. I was told that during the day the tavern runs as an restaurant. The DJ was playing all the hits up stairs, and down stairs was a live band. They didn't sound as good as the DJ, so I stayed up stairs.
FYI. I am stuck in the 90's. I love the music of that time frame and the eras before. Music now days just doesn't add up. Furthermore no one was dancing. Everyone seemed to be drinking and/or talking. Happily I kicked off the dancing and met some cool people in doing so! One man claimed he was a photographer. I asked him if he had any pictures of his work on his phone or a business card. He showed me the most horrible picture of the sky. The sun was shinning and blocking out everything he tried to capture. "Mump" I thought. Politely he told me he would do my head shots...I think NOT!
I didn't think much of it at the time; when a lady approached me, and told me I looked like I was having too much fun. When I look back on it. I'm sure had any of my closest friends been there with me, they would have told me
"TO SIT MY BEHIND DOWN"
Picture a time when you were by yourself. Your favorite video or song came on, and what do you do? You get up and dance. Doing things you probably wouldn't try in public. Well...that was Me. I acted as if I were making my own music video. I had a blast! Apparently I was a little tipsy. Some times you don't know how tipsy you are until you go to the bathroom. If you want to know if you had too many; that trip to the restroom will tell you if you need another drink or a cab. Take note: One of the good things about New York City is public transportation! There are absolutely NO reasons to drink and drive. Take advantage of it! You could even drink on the subway, if you wanted to. Not that I'm condoning that kind of behavior....;-) Any how, I knew it was time for me chill out. That meant no more dancing, and no more cocktails. Besides I wasn't about to pay for a cab to drive me four blocks over to the subway. LMAO.
I say so long to the guys and girls that I met. One whom lives in China town and offered to give me a tour as well as go shopping together, thankfully she offered to walked with me to the subway. Honestly I couldn't remeber how to get back to it. Now walking My Dogs Were On FIRE! I don't understand why because I had on Dr. you know who gel inserts for high heels. Well...I guess that's what I get for dancing like I had lost my mind, and in some heels at that. I'm not as young as I used to be. My knee was hurting too! Note to Self: get isotoners fold up slippers to go in purse!All in all, I had a blast. I didn't want to leave. The DJ was the best I had heard in a long time. He was spinning all the right songs.
Now on the subway home, I realize that I am on the local train and it has to make a ton of stop before I reach my destination. Then I see kids fighting at the subway stop. Lawd help! "Isn't it too late for them to be out?" That was Hot Mess. I hate to see our youth act a fool like that. On another note, I cant wait to go shopping. For those who don't know, all the shopping deals are in China town!

Umm okay.. that's NYC for ya!
I had a crazy weekend! This past Friday I went to Club Carnival and got the SHOCK of my life. Now I was given information that there was going to be about 500 people at this event. There was also going to be a fashion show; titled Flesh&Fantasy. For some strange reason I didn't fathom that I would be looking at almost completely naked women, along with black and white soft porn on the projector!
"HOLD UP"
Did I mention I had to walk up over 8 FLIGHTS of stairs just to get into the club! I straight busted a sweat to get my boogie on.
Okay, so I get into the club and it's absolutely Awesome. It looked like an real carnival, but much more upscale. They pretty much had every carnival game you could think of. There was even a fun house, along with a ticket booth to purchase tickets; so you could play all the games you wanted. All the staff were decked out in Carnival attire/costumes! They even had a concession stand that served foot long hot dogs, pop corn, and other carnival food, as well as cotton candy; which I enjoyed by the way. Not to mention a full bar. Carnival is also the home to a cool looking bowling alley on the lower level. I wish I would have know about it before I went there. I think I may go back to bowl. Those of you who know me, know I love to bowl!
After I found myself a seat. I notice that there were a crowd of people standing in front of me and cameras flashing left and right. There they were, four, young, women, of different nationalities in thongs and skimpy underwear getting ready for the fashion show. Not in dressing rooms getting dressed, but getting there flesh covered with body paint. Artist now finished, the models were now covered in very skimpy outfits made out of body paint... if you were to quickly pass the models by, it looked as if they were wearing a real pieces of clothing, but it was actually bare flesh covered with paint.
To give some of my readers a clearer picture. "Imagine being topless. Nothing on but your smallest tightest underwear, and then you take a marker and draw a shirt on yourself and then you go out in public". Umm..yeah...that's it..
Other than the shock of the fashion show, the club itself was really cool. Plus I met some really nice people. I was happy to find out that male and female alike were just as shocked as I was by the fashion show. So I didn't feel silly for not knowing what I was getting my self into...least to say there were plenty of men at this event. Ladies you know what I mean. You go out to a club and there are waaaay more women there than men, and your thinking
After mingling and meeting some new people, I got invited to another party that was being held at Hudson Terrace. There known for parting on the roof top. Needless to say it was a cool spot, but in architecture, Club Carnival had them beat.

Strange, Crazy man and his dogs.
LAWD HELP!!!!... I was walking down the street, and there were two young ladies taking pictures of the city. As I began to pass them up, I herd one tell the other that "you have to get a picture of this." I didn't know what she was talking about at the moment, but I could hear loud, old school, rap music coming from behind me, and then it was in front of me. It was a man; walking down the street. I still didn't know where the music was coming from, and then I saw two long leashes following be hind him. One small pit bull was on the leash in his right hand, and a large pit bull was on a leash in the other hand. When I looked to see where the music was coming from low and behold the big pit bull had an big, old school, boom box radio in its mouth!!! It was shockingly entertaining! I mean everyone he passed were turning there heads to see this man and his dogs along with the infamous boom box. The reaction of the people let me know that I wasn't the only one in amazement. Besides if new if New Yorkers are breaking their necks to see this sight, then its strange! Well the girls got their picture. In coincidentally, I guess the guy didn't notice because when I stated to take a picture with my camera phone the man just about went crazy.
"UnnUnn" he shouted! "Don't do that!, No pics."
"mmm...He got his nerve!" I thought to my self. Little did he know several people had already taken pictures. Beside rather we realize it or not someone is always watching us and we end up in a lots of pictures that we don't even know about!

Food Poisoning
First off I have to say that I have no problem with Hispanic people or any race for that matter. We are all Gods creatures, and with that said here is what happen to me!
I had been eyeing the pineapple on the stick that the Hispanic fruit carts sell for weeks. One day I was out walking and I thought I would make a healthy snack choice, so I got the pineapple on a stick and had the hot, red, pepper, powder sprinkled on it. It was the first time I ever had pineapple that way. I usually just eat it by itself, or with other fruit, or cottage cheese, but I thought I would try something different. The other toppings they offered were liquid hot sauce, sugar and lemon juice. The guy ahead of me got all of those toppings on his pineapple including the hot, red, pepper, powder. As I ate the pineapple the juice begin to run from the sweet fruit, and my lips begin to burn from the hot pepper! I thought to my self this is wonderful! I love hot and spicy food. I just hate it when something says it's hot and its not!
Least to say about two hours after I ate the pineapple I begin to feel really gassy, belching and passing gas...An hour after that my stomach begin to feel really upset. I figured I needed to eat some real food because I hadn't had anything really solid that day. So I ate some rasin brain crunch and then laid down. I tossed and turned the whole time due to an up set stomach. An hour after that my mouth begin to water and I ran to the bathroom as a volcano begin to sprout out of my mouth as well as erupt from down under:-((
I was sick for 24hours after that! Constantly purging and emptying from both ends. I felt so week and nauseated that I couldn't even keep warm tea down. Thank the Lord for saltines crackers and ginger ale because that did stay down, and for the next day in a half it was my only and favorite food!
A mental note 2 self

Apollo Theater
All I have to say is "HARLEM" NYC got it going On!!! I went to the Apollo Theater for Amateur night and it was AWESOME! It was like being at a live concert/cabaret/club. The only thing that was missing was the Apollo dancers we used to see back in the day on TV when the show used to air. Being of the Arts my self, I found it hard to boo the entertainment. Although there were a lot of people who were just booing for the heck of it. Some even booed the star guest entertainment! Now you know that was not right, besides they already getting paid for what they do, even if they do suck! So really they mind as well have kept the boos to themselves and saved them for the regular acts, but I will say this: the star they had that night; how should I put this? Hhmmmm.....well, I think she was high because she started playing with her boobs on stage and then she said
"she wasn't feeling well"When she finished her song she ran off the stage like a chicken in high heals. It was a bit of a Hot Mess! Other than that It was great! The Apollo Amateur night is every Wednesday and I will try my best to check it out@least 1x a month.

The Elevator..
I was on the 1st floor waiting for the elevator in my building and I could hear a man coming down in the elevator screaming
He was so loud and had this angry tone. The doors open and there was this man standing there with a shopping cart looking all together CRAZY! I got onto the elevator and the guy stopped talking immediately, but he still looked really weird. There was no one else in the elevator, and he wasn't on the phone with anybody. Then I notice that we were both going to the same floor. There was no way I was going to ride up 14 floors with this guy, so before the doors could close, I quickly got right back off! The doors closed and he immediately started yelling about his wife again.
It was really unnerving...I knew thrre was no way we couldn't make that trip together in the elevator!
"He bet not be sleeping with my wife"
