I’m expecting the Real Housewives of Schenectady, next.

Anyhoo, though the New York More than Half Non Housewives were supposed to be coming back, Bravo has put that on hold for the moment  and will be serving up some sun and a little more affluence with  at the new edition to the Housewives who are not married and many that are in foreclosure Franchise.   I won’t even bother to ask “Will you watch?”  Try as you might to NOT, you know you will!

 Let’s meet the next crop of ladies to give us headaches. (Courtsey People.com)

Lea Black has a 9-year-old son with her lawyer husband. A strong supporter of President Obama, the Texas-born Housewife is invested in her own charitable endeavors.

Larsa Pippenis married to basketball star Scottie Pippen and was known as the “Hottest NBA wife.” A mother of four, Pippen boasts that she’s successful at everything she does.

Marysol Patton is a Miami native who runs her own PR firm, the Patton Group. A divorcee, Patton is known for throwing bashes around town and loves to spend time with her mother, Elsa, who considers herself a “seer” and offers spiritual guidance to people in town.

Alexia Echevarria is the executive editor of Venue magazine, where she covers fashion and celebrity culture. She lives on Miami Beach with her husband Herman and has two sons from a previous marriage.

Cristy Rice was recently divorced from NBA star Glen Rice. The show will follow her single life as she juggles business (she owns a clothing store) and being a single mom.

Adriana DeMoura-Sidi is fiery and flirtatious and … newly engaged. Her personality lands her in trouble and the subject of much gossip among the ladies.

I don’t think they can top the crazy of Atlanta and Beverly Hills, but I sure hope they try!  Premeires Feb. 22 (10 p.m. ET)

I’ve never been a big fan of tampons. I was always afraid of falling asleep and developing toxic shock or something. I bypass them in the period aisle at the drug store and make a beeline for those bulky joints with wings. I know tampons are more convenient, but they always have grossed me out, especially after my friend told me she accidentaly stuck two in her vagicat and had to get her boyfriend to pull them out. Ouch! So you can image how I feel about OB tampons. No applicator? DOUBLE. YUCK! I guess I am somewhat alone in my feelings because apparentely there is a thriving black market for OB’s. Seems like they have disappeared off store shelves back in the fall due to a manufacturing issue and people are up in arms. They’re even being sold on website for $39.00 a box! Really people? It’s called “Aunt FLO” for a reason. Let ‘er run.

Every Black History Month program or salute seems to focus on the heavy hitters, the big players, like Malcomlm X, Martin Luther King, Marcus Garvey.   The people who  are responsible for starting revolutions. But I don’t think that’s ”Black” History. That’s AMERCIAN HISTORY that we should celebrate,  learn and teach our (and I mean the collective masses) EVERY MONTH, not just the one with the least days!

So with that said, the Brew would like to salute the not so obvious contributers to improving the Black Experience.

We salute thee:  LISA TURTLE

Lisa Turtle, the daughter of successful surgeons showed American kids that not all black children dodged bullets on the way to school.

In the manner of a teen-aged Diahann Carol, the only crime this good kid could be accused of was over accessorizing. 

This is not to say that she did not suffer through hard times. As, seemingly,  the integrator of her high school (eventually to be joined by a acid wash adorned dimpled Latino lad), Lisa endured the strange behavior of the school’s most popular boy who often talked to himself.  Her best friends  were the school’s pointy chinned “beautiful girl” (because they say so, it must be true) and drug addled Jessie Spano (CAFFIENE, KILLS, PEOPLE!)

This is not to say she did not have her own tough times. All through high school she was sexually harrassed by  a young boy who would in this day in age be certainly be diagnosed on some spectrum of a mental disorder. She handled this ‘special boy’s'  unwelcome advances with dignity and strength, eventually forming a friendship with the lad.  Lisa Turtle was a benevolent young woman. 

She went on to attend the prestigous Fashion Institute of Technolgy, and then fell off the grid.  It is highly likely that she currently lives in a gated community  with 3 lap dogs, 2 kids, a successful distant (but loving in public) husband and is having an affair with her personal trainer.

Lisa Turtle, we salute thee!

Ok so let’s say you like a boy, said boy prolly doesn’t like you back or at least he hasn’t given you any hints that he does anyway. So let’s then say that you’re out on the town with your cousin who happens to mention that she requested this boy as a facebook friend, you know, the one you like. How do you react? If you’re a normal, stable woman you probably don’t react at all or maybe just throw her a lil shade (you know how we do) But what cha don’t do is attempt to run your cousin over 2 times with your minivan and leave her severely injured in the freezing cold.

SERIOUSLY??? WTF!! Are we really that man obsessed that we try to kill a family member over a facebook request????

Facebook is truly becoming the devil, IT’S NOT THAT SERIOUS!

Melanie Spanopoulous, YOU ARE A STONE COLD BAMMA!!! Shame on you!
