DUB Car show

You all have BET & MTV so you know what the Dub Car Show headliner Ludacris looks like & I'm pretty sure you checked out 2 Pistol's video for his hit "She Got it" on You Tube ( By the way Thanks for making it rain on me even though I know that wasn't your true intention.) But... Honey, if I'm not mistaken you throwing out a wad of cash into a crowd of people who are separated from you & the stage by @ least 10 feet, steel barricade gate and big burly security guards defeat the laws of gravity. SocialPrivy Tip> tip money has very little weight therefore when you throw it, it will float down as opposed to far out That's why when you were tossin' your $$ in the air like you just don't care all your dollar bills fell in media pit(designated area of stage where photographers are given access to film) where me & big-burly security scrambled like chickens in my Granny's backyard picking them up. Speaking of Granny...she raised me to be a good southern baptist girl so... instead of stuffing those dollar bills in my pants like a Harlem Knights dancer...I looked into the crowd & saw the disappointing faces of thousands of teenager's who spent their money to buy those tickets. Somewhere in the back of my head I heard the sound of my Granny twisting her lips so I did the right thing & throw the $$ back into the crowd. Damn Granny!! (Don't get it twisted if those dollar bills were $5 dollar bills $hit! I ain't no fool!) Anywho!! Back to what I was saying you guys know what celebrities look like so with that being said let's give props to the people behind the scene that make all the magic happen.

Green with Envy Mag @ Land Rover networking event

Envy Magazine hosted a fabulous networking event last night at the Land Rover dealership 7019 Old Katy Rd. Complimentary libations were flowing along with delicious hor'dourves. The first thing I noticed was the valet concierge's. They were very professionally dressed and welcomed me to the event as they extended their hand to escort me out of my vehicle. Hmm!! Okay y'all, I've got to be honest. I'm not a fan of valet's I even have a lil' name that I call them AutoPirate's because #1 I've been ripped off before ie. loose change in cigarette tray, Cd's etc. #2 Nowadays, they don't even park your car for you. You're basically paying to park yourself and that's not valet. #3 They usually don't speak English and have a stank attitude. #4 They peel off in your car like they're stealing it. Last and not least I don't tip them because #5 they always look up my skirt or dress or down my shirt when I'm getting out my car (y'all know everything we ladies wear today is short & low cut it's hard enough swinging your legs out of a car especially an SUV.) A free peek is all the tip you're gonna get from me ya nasty Autopirate's HrrrH!!. Anywho...This company is the exception Cruise Control Valet is owned by some young black entrepreneurs. I spoke with Director of Public Relations Shaunta S. Andrews and was very impressed the service I recieved as well as her presentation of their company motto World-Class Service & Southern Hospitality. Check them out for your next event http://www.cruisecontrolvalet.com/

What can be said about the luxurious brand name Land/Range Rover that hasn't been said before? I will personally say that in my opinion it is the echelon vehicle of success. Whether it be an classic ol school rugged body style or the current polished & streamlined exterior. W henever I see one on the road it always turns my head. I want to see who's inside. It' doesn't really matter who's behind the wheel... Soccer mom, business executive, "kepted" woman, nature lover, hood figure or professional athlete. Land/Range Rover is always a good look. Thanks to the people over at Land/Range Rover 4 people walked away with a complimentary weekend test drive. Congrats to the contest winners!!

I met alot of progressive people at the networking session here are a few you may want to be privy'd to know Tyffanie Bronaugh of TNT Management Public Relations & Image Marketing Specialist will be having a Casting call for her Modelling school for more info call 832 884 7975. Ms Bronaugh was accompanied by her associate Glambassador Johnetta T. Anderson. Terry W. Makeup/hair stylist http://www.terrywcreations.com/ had his networking game face on as he shared some of the beauty industry's secret's of success. Bre from season 3 of America's Next top Model is one of his many high profile career credits. Dj Big Reeks http://myspace.com/ricanm took a night off of the turntables to mixed it up with the crowd. Mark (on a first name basis, naw I'm lying I can't find his businesscard. I think I met him after the 2nd margarita but I will post info later.) President of Non Profit Lending for Amergy Bank won one of the 4 comp test drive packages.

All in all it was a successful networking event. Good looking out Envy Magazine!

Luv ya ; ) K. Anntionette

Wednesday Ha-Ha's & Giggles @The Improv

Get yourself over the hump day with LOL Wednesday’s at the Improv I-10 Katy Freeway. Enjoy local & nationwide urban comedians with 2 for the price of 1 ticket specials. Social Privy Tip> This is a great inexpensive mid-week date. Of course there is a standard two item purchase requirement (Oh yessir! You will never go thirsty @The Improv.) Be sure & check out the website for upcoming events as well as join the mailing list for opportunities to win complimentary tickets.http://improv2.com/

Comedian Black Prince had the audience rolling with his outrageous physically charged humor imitating everything from prayer dancers to Olympian gymnast. However it was his dead on impression of Bernie Mac that won me over. Everyone in the audience took a shot in tribute to the recently deceased Bernie Mac.

Headliner Kool-Aide who has appeared on Bet’s Comic view was equally funny as he shared his views on issues such sex and relationships. His humorous insight on the male psyche was dead on. When he explained the method in which men watch porn when they’re alone every guy in the audience seemed to look as if their secret was exposed. But… What I also noticed about him was his keen fashion style. I loved his Kingston, Jamaican themed Addidas track suit jacket and most of all his kicks. Dude had on some nice Prada sneakers. I Gave him several style points for mixing a high-end designer with a fly street look.

I would’ve had photos however it was time for another episode of "My Life is a Sitcom." I began preparing for the evening by plugging up the battery for my camera. I figured about an hour would be sufficient to charge it. Then I started getting dressed. Before I left out the house I got on this crazy cleaning kick so I started to straighten up the house, loading the dishwasher, throwing food out the refrigerator etc. I threw on some tennis shoes to take out the trash & before I knew it I was running late for an 8pm show. So I grabbed my camera and purse and dashed out the door. Got all the way to the Improv checked my hair & makeup in the mirror and hopped out the car. As soon as my foot hit the ground something didn't feel right. I was too comfortable. I looked down and what did I have on my feet but some busted up tennis shoes. I couldn't believe that I forgot the change shoes so here I am at the Improv with a cute Bohemian top, straight leg jeans and busted up tennis shoes. I could go back home but…$hit! Gas is too high so I have to suck it up and make this look like I did this ish' on purpose. Once I get upstairs I find a seat in the corner because #1 I’m alone and being that it’s two for one night there are mad couples up in here and #2 I’m half @ss dressed. So here is where my personal comedy begins. I’m like this is cool I can do this besides I’m here to do a job, take some pics, and report the bizness. I reach into my purse for my camera and adjust the flash so I don’t get clowned for taking so many pics like some kinda comedian stalker. I set up my first shot and notice that my camera isn’t making any noise. Wassup with that!! I’ll tell you wassup, my damn battery is plugged into the wall socket at home. I have no other choice but to laugh out loud at my own crazy @$$ comedy.

On to some local gossip: Did I mention it was a couple thing Wednesday night @ The Improv? Ok so... I look around and what & who do I see? A local website entrepreneur/photographer boo'd up with a upcoming makeup artist who use to work in the Mac store (not gonna say which one). Aforementioned Makeup artist diva has recently branched with her own company. If you all are "in the mix" then you know who I'm talking about. I don't think they're trying to hid their relationship since said photographer had their recent Dominican Republic vacay pic's posted all over his site. Anywho...they're a cute couple and I love to see people out there dating. Good Luck!!

(I'm sorry but...I had too!) Good evening & God Bless!

You have very interesting facial features and usually you dress fairly decent but...I have to say in the words of my Aunt Luvenia "Honey-Chile that aint cute!!!" Why do you have your almost naked titties out there like that? Are you celebrating Paid in Full stamped on your receipt. I ain't madatcha they sho is perky & cute but I'm thinking there's a lot to be said about leaving just a little to the imagination. You are too attractive for that nonsense. Ordinarily I would have bumrushed your enrollment into The Wayward Titty Group Home for Girls but there's something special about you. You've got this air about you. Maybe it's that little twinkle in your eye kinda like you know a secret or have a secret life...Are you a private dancer, dancer for money and any ol music will do...

Please forgive. Please forgive me if I'm wrong but chick the outfit your wearing is singing an old familiar song!!!

The doors of the group home Wayward Titties for Girls are open. Well you make a change? Will you come today? Will You?

America's next top model mets Project Runway>The Houston Edition

Last night I kicked the evening's activities off with a couple of cocktails on the patio of Taco Milagro (Kirby & Westheimer...which might I add was a very good look. 8:30pm is a perfect time to chill-lax after the blazing hot Houston sun has retired for the evening. Male to Female ratio was favorable for the ladies. ( Sorry Guys) I believe this is largely due to The Downing St. Cigar Bar next door.)

I met up with my good friend and graphic designer, Dez of House of Greenwood as well as Natalie Terrell & Kara Barnett talent scouts for America's Next Top Model. This is the second year that I've had the opportunity to see how the scouting process is done for the show. Dez has essentially been a tour guide for the young ladies advising them where the beautiful & sexy hang out in the city of Houston. After a couple of margarita's we headed out for our next destination Club Venue which would be featuring a fashion show collaboration with up & coming fashionista's Maisha Styles http://maishastyles.net/ (Maisha Styles center)

K. Smith of http://awkwardclothingline.com/. Be sure & check these two Diva's out!!!!

I was pleasantly surprised by the cutting edge clothing showcased last night as well as the professionalism the models displayed. This wasn't your typical "Church Fashion show." Since America's Next Top Model talent scouts were in the house I felt the urge to get into the character of the infamous runway diva "Ms. J." So in the spirit of ANTM Juding panel Here goes my critique> (1) Some of you girls were switchin' yall's tales too fast & didn't hold a steady poses at the end of the runway so that photographer's could get a good shot (or maybe I'm slow seeing that I'm an amatuer photographer) (2) There was one chick who flared her nostrils & bugged her eyes when she stomped. Maybe that's her signature walk like Camille from season 2 who proclaimed "this is my signature walk, this is the walk that's going to make me famous." Or maybe she was in character too...Mr Ed that is. (on the cool chick your beautiful but the film doesn't lie your nostrils were flared on the majority of my photo's so I couldn't use most of them.) (3) Chick with the beautiful Gucci-weave (that's what me & my friends call a nice grade of weave hair.) girl you looked soooo scared & stiff. I wasn't the only one who noticed your scary posture. You also made a debut another blog http://crunktastical.net/

My absolute fav' was Alexia. She's adorable & has a bad A$$ walk. I worked with her last year on a fashion show for my jewelry line Diva Details.

"I only have one photo in my hand that represents the next girl who will be moving on in the competiton and that girl...could be you!!! Natalie & Kara will be into for 1 more week before moving on to their next destination. So come on you Houston "Get it Girls" please look your best and represent Houston's most fabulousness!!

Menswear was also featured during the show and I gots' to admit I lost my professionalism. There was this one male model that I spotted prior to the show. He was walking around looking all sexual. I literally looked him up & down from head to toe. If it wasn't for the photo's I couldn't tell you what designer he wore all I could remember was his skin. Too bad Ms. Tyra isn't looking for male models or I would have laid him out on the casting couch. He was a fine specimen of a man. Ibelieve he was an import & you know I luuvs me some exotic men. I don't know what country he was from but God Bless his momma & daddy.

On to the ugly...Sam Cassel was in the house. Ugggh! Dez suggested I take his photo for the site so I politely walked up to him and asked for a photo. Do you know that Diva had the nerve to throw his hands up all Lindsay Lohan style and said "Naw, I'm good." Umm me thinks "naw, actually your not." I guess his lil E.T. lookin' a$$ head is all big now that he has a championship ring." It's all good though, you ol-basketball-dribblin-reese's-pieces-eatin'-extraterrestial-luukin'-a$$ boy (point em out, point em out...I'm sorry I had to. I can say what in the Hell I want... this ain't urspace... This is MYSPACE dammit.)

Peace Out! Luv K. Anntionette

Power Lunch!!!

Social Privy Tip> With today's economic pressures we've got to find ways to save $$$$ and Gas anyway we can. So here's some tips on how to utilize both your $$$, time & gas .

1) Burger King on the corner of Richmond & Fountainview Houston, TX has free wifi. I normally roll through the drive thru but was tempted to come inside and check it out besides I needed to do a little bidness on the net. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw a very art deco inspired lounge complete with two complimentary computers. The lounge was very clean and user friendly. The manager made sure that I looked on my receipt to call in a survey regarding the service I received. 5 minutes later!!! Surprise #2 I would receive a free chicken sandwich or Whopper with the purchase of a drink & fries on my next visit. I slipped that bad boy in my wallet because that's just as good as $$$ to me.

2) Schlotzky's in the strip center on Westhiemer & Greenridge also has free wifi. After my experience with The King the other day, I made sure I looked on my receipt & what did I see...another survey.

5 minutes later I received yet another "Gratis" meal upon my next visit to Scholtzky's. However this one had no purchase necessary.

3) Three times the charm so while shopping at my fav grocery store HEB. I took a look on the back of their receipts and saw several coupon's more specifically a Chickfila coupon for a free chickfila sandwich or breakfast biscuit with the purchase of a drink & fries or Hashbrowns. No survey necessary.

All in all folks what I'm trying to say is be sure and check your receipt to make sure you get what you ordered, your change is correct, etc. but... sometimes take a moment to do a survey especially if you received good service or you frequently visit the establishment. You never know what you'll get for a few moments of your time.

On the the flip side...the devil is a liar. He knows I'm trying to diet. Here I am with a wallet full of free fried stuff. But you know what devil I made a fool out of you because I gave my coupon to a good friend who's kids love Burger King!! Now me and my hips are laughing at you Ha! Ha! Ha!

Missed but not forgotten

Most of us are aware that earlier this week the entertainment world lost Isaac Hayes & Bernie Mac two very influential men in the industry. Let's not forget the positive imprint they left on our community and honor them by continuing to follow our dreams and live a life of excellence. Be sure & keep their family & love one's in our hearts & prayers as this is an even more difficult time for them. I personally know what it's like to loss a father and it's definitely life changing.

Isaac Hayes has a son who is also an fellow blogger please be sure & support him by checking out his site.http://dirtynthebeest.com/
