TWO STEPS FORWARD... TWO STEPS BACK..

First up, Michelle Obama's appearance on The View yesterday was the greatest example of female empowerment. A sense of pride came over me knowing millions of people were able to witness a smart, articulate, funny black woman who WILL be our next First Lady. Pay attention young ladies, this should be your ROLE MODEL. She wasn't there to talk about her upcoming movie or CD coming out, she was there to shed light on the new face of America. She was so likeable, Elizabeth Hasselback couldn't resist her undeniable charm. One word.. EXQUISITE!


Michelle Obama's appearance on The View - Thursday, June 18, 2008

Just as I feel it is all of our jobs to uplift each other, and not just the job of Michelle Obama alone, my momentum hit a brick wall this morning watching the Today Show where Marcrida Patterson (who appears to be black) is suing Victoria's Secret for a defective thong. If you are interested in the full ridiculous explanation of her lawsuit, the clip is below. Just a thought, am I the only one that thinks its a little gross that a 52 year old wants to wear thongs with a jewel on it? Grandma needs to stop showing up at the club wearing her Forever 21 outfit and go home and check on them grandkids (you know she got some). She probably was that mother that when her kids' friends stopped by to study, she conveniently answers the front door half naked. STOP EMBARRASING YOUR KIDS!... Sorry.. got off the subject. The time and energy it probably took her to come up with this foolishness, she could have helped a homeless person, tutored an elementary kid, and sent money to the flood victims in the Midwest. It takes a village...
