Newcomer Brit Actresses Antonia Thomas and Kehinde Fadipe are our latest Brew Beauties!

Let’s meet ‘em!

 

I’ve already waxed on about how Britian’s Misfits is currently one of the best hours dedicated to videotape.  I thought I would take a look at two of the reasons they are also warming my ‘Sister Power!!” heart.  It makes you wonder that there are TWO women of color on a hit TV show, who are strong, sexy, complex and driving their own story-lines.  Two black actresses with actual formal training.

Hmm, think we can get something like that here?   I swears, I’m so moving to the UK.

Wisconsin Republican Jim Sensenbrenner was overheard at Ronald Reagan National Airport today, loudly blabbing on his cell phone about an anti-Michelle Obama encounter last month at an Episcopal church auction (of all places). A source tells Mediabistro that Rep. Sensenbrenner was overheard saying a woman at the auction approached him and began praising First Lady Michelle Obama. Sensenbrenner shut down that noise by telling the lady:

“She lectures us on eating right while she has a large posterior herself.”

Sensenbrenner reportedly “stands by” other remarks he made at the event, though he’s offered no comment on the bootygate remark.

Judging from Sensenbrenner’s picture, he won’t be mistaken for being manorexic any time soon. And clearly, he’s missed her point to eat less, move more and splurge in moderation!

Dutch fashion magazine, “Jackie,” thought it was giving its readers a tongue-in-cheek guide on how to dress like Rihanna. Apparently though, the magazine’s editors must not know any black people, have any on the staff (including in the mail room) and don’t have access to these here innawebs to Google before they publish (or perhaps they couldn’t care less to poll any black people… I’m going with the latter). In it’s attempt to be “funny,” the magazine called Rihanna… wait for it…

Is the tight circle of basketball wives to blame for Kobe Bryant’s divorce? Well, actually, Kobe’s pecker is to blame (allegedly), but word is the pillow talk of Kobe’s fellow ballers and the loose lips of those ballers’ wives may be what put the bug in Vanessa Bryant’s ear to file for divorce. Follow me nah…

Kobe’s teammates reportedly gossiped to their wives about Kobe’s extramarital antics. The wives -who “sources” say were often sworn to secrecy by their husbands- then went to other wives in their circle (y’all know how that circle is…)…

…and blabbed about Kobe’s exploits. Apparently, the wives keep this kind of info in the “circle” as insurance that other wives will tell if they ever stumble across info that their husbands are cheating. Kind of a “you watch my back, I’ll watch yours” situation (even though we know those brawds aren’t always so fond of each other). All that blabbing eventually got back to Vanessa who hadituptohere with Kobe’s pecker after years of alleged cheating with “multiple women.” Whew!

Vanessa filed for divorce, spousal support and joint custody of their two daughters on Friday.

If you knew the husband of your friend (or even a casual acquaintance) was cheating, would you tell? Would you expect her to do the same? What’s your call?

First Kobe and ‘Nessa, now there’s word another star athlete and his wife are dunzo this weekend. NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders and his wife Pilar have called it quits. The news comes months after Deion first shot down divorce rumors. He now tells all up in ya bidness TMZ:

“Pilar and I have decided to end our marriage and move on to the next phase of our individual lives with mutual respect. We are friends and our top priority has and will continue to be the well-being of our children. We arrived at this decision prayerfully and carefully in order to be able to pursue what is in both of our best personal interests.”

Deion and Pilar have been married 12 years and have three kids together.

I hope LaTasha isn’t at the center of this…

Oh, just for the hell of it (I’d post this daily, if I could):

The Brew’s Fairy Godmother, guest blogs to offer her thoughts on parenting in a crazy crazy world. Welcome The Brew Fairy Godmother!

Whether you’re all “Deck the halls,” and “Fa, la, la, la, la” or “Bah, humbug!” the holidays are upon us. It’s the most wonderful time of the year . . . when having the “holiday spirit” at the office Christmas party really means “blame it on the al-al-al-al-al-alcohol” (and FB pictures will be uploaded in real time, trust and believe!), when shopping at the mall can get you pepper sprayed straight in the eyes by psycho mom for even looking like you are about to pick up the hottest new toy, or getting your kids’ Christmas list that’s longer than the Healthcare Reform Law when they know damn well they’ve been badder than Bey-Bey’s kids. Ahhhh, yes – the holidays!! Well, I can’t help you with the office party, and as for that lady with the pepper spray, I can only suggest you guard ya grill and knuckle up! I can advise you on the children because like the O.D.B and Wu-Tang, I’m for da kids.

 Jaime Patterson is a self taught professional photographer and proprietor of Hidden Exposure Photography in Richmond, VA.  Her work gives a dreamy-like view of the subject’s life and soul.  I keep threatening to hire her to take “tasteful” nudes of me, one day…one day!  Check her work out here: http://www.facebook.com/hiddenexposurephotography

  Let’s chat her up!

 

 

 

Where do you draw your inspiration?  Truthfully, what doesn’t inspire me.  It really depends on the day and what I am involved I n at the time.  Being that I see what I do as story telling I am really inspired by and drawn to those things, in movies, music, books, that can very artfully craft a fantastic narrative.

 How many years have you worked on your photography? I have been taking snapshots since I was 5 but I really started working on my craft about 5 or 6 years ago after a trip to China.

 Who are your influenced by? I adore Sally Mann, Diane Arbus, and Annie Libowitz. All three women managed to take the mundane and make it magical. They also have a deeper connection with their subjects that reached beyond their time in front of the camera, they want to know their stories and that investment in the lives of their subjects really comes across in their photographs.

 Describe your process: It really depends on who and what I am shooting. Lately I have been using a site called Pinterest to help me collaborate with my clients to come up with an overall theme and mood for their shoot. Using this has been so helpful in communicating wardrobe, location, and posing ideas before the shoot. They clients really like this idea and it gets them excited about our time together. 

 On the day of the shoot I generally am working to try to find the story. I try to get to know my subjects as best as I can before and during and try to incorporate as much of them into their photos to share with family and loved ones what their story is.

 What do you want to get out of your art, what do you want to give to others through it?   What I want to get out of my art is that ability to craft a wonderful story of people’s lives, loves, and dreams. What I want to give others is a reminder of how great life is and how many stories there are out there to be seen and shared. Who knows maybe by seeing and hearing someone else’s story it may bring some healing and restoration to their own.

 NAMASTE!

Nothing says Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays (for you heathens), like this busta ass greeting card from the Mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico. What is the National Geographical hayle is going on here? Are those his sisterwives?

Why does the daughter look like an extra from Children of the Corn? Why is the bear smizing?

Is that Penguin whispering sweet nothings into Vinny from the Jersey Puerto Rican Shore’s ear?

I’m so confused…

Witch E. apparently has always had a non-judgemental goofy friendly  face that says ‘Tell me all of your intimate gross arse business!” and once at Uni (Witch E. also likes to talk as if she is from London AND in the 3rd person) she had a guy friend pull her to the side seething about a midnight encounter he had with a “lady” and mutual friend.

“Can you believe that HEFFA asked me to pull her tampon out FOR HER?!”  Hightop fade with the swoopy dyed swirl in the front, spat into her ear in front of the student Union.   New Jack Swing played on a cassette in the distance.

“What did you do?”  Young, African Medallion-ed Asymmetrical Haircut Witch E. cringed as she asked.

“I kicked that broad out of my dorm room!” HTF looked disgusted. But Witch E. was proud of her homie and his standards. Thus starting a long career of an often way too open dialogue with Dudes.

She would  always wonder, what were other deal breakers for seemingly always wanting to smush smush fellows.  Surely men are not as indiscriminate as the media makes them out to be. Thank goodness for THE DUDES!

Sooo Fellas, Happy Holidays and all of that…

What are your sexy time deal breakers?

If you are getting frisky with a ladygal, and she asked you to do (Insert Crazy-ish here) what would make you say ‘Yea… you know what? I’m outta here!”

Dude Darkness:  Having Sex with:

• Farm Animals
• Smurfs
• Sesame Street Characters
• Dress Up as Barney
• Choke Her \ Me – Pee on Her \ Me 
• Whips – Chains – Handcuffs – SAFE WORDS!!!!

ALL of those things Equal = ” Ahh… Yeah… Just remembered… I have something to do” “And what would that be? “.  “LEAVE!!!!”

                                                        

Rev Real:  That’s easy.

• Anything involving a strap on.
• Anything involving another dude.
• Anything involving my arse. It’s a one-way street, son.
• Anything that has her smelling like something with scales.
• Anything that requires me to get fully out of character.

No, I will not be your Ike Turner. But I will be a slimmed-down Bookman and come into your apartment naked with just my tool belt and 250 keys.

 

Phlip! It Good: *shortest answer ever* Buttplay, game over.

 

 

 

Big In Europe:  I’m pretty much open to damn there anything. I’d have to say if she says “scat play”, I’m breaking the fuck out. I don’t deal with the poo-poo play. I’m not into necrophilia either. If I wanted cold p*ssy, I’d break out the Bomb Pops. I’m not doing anything to any animals either. Anything else? Yeah, I’m kinda down with it. What can I say? I’m nasty as fuck. Wait… Wait… WAIT… NO GAY SHIT, EITHER. F*CK THAAAAAAT!!!

 

 

Simon Sez:  Nothing is to go near my anus for any reason. It is one of two reasons I believe an open hand slap to a woman is acceptable.

 (Witch E. is curious as to what the OTHER reason is…)

 

 

 

Gross Dude:  What would make me walk away…hmmm… anything that involves pain to me. Fvck what you heard..pain is not pleasure.  Now of course if she wants me to beat her with a 2×4, insert an apple in her ass or burnher with a wire hanger that was heating up on the stove burner, thenshe can get it.  Whatever floats her boat…I aim to please.  Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m going to come back the next week, out of fear of what she might want to do next.

Witch E: (Stunned silence.)

 

 

Witch Elphaba:  Soo, it seems that the Dudes really aren’t into anal-anything, pretty against pee-sports and Playing ‘Smurph’.  Luckily there’s Craig’s List, for the rest of yous if Gross Dude is occupado!  And a Happy Ho Ho Ho-in’! Loves ya!

Brewchies what are your sexy times “HELL NAWS?!”

Lowe’s is going to need a backhoe, a shovel, a plunger and some heavy artillery to fix the jam the company has found itself in this week. A conservative/evangelical Christian group called the Florida Family Association pressured the Lowe’s home improvement company to pull its ads from TLC’s All- American Muslim reality show. Last month, we told you about the show which follows five Muslim families based in the Dearborn, MI area. It’s an inside look at the real, normal lives of really normal families (ya know, families with devoted and religious husbands and wives and their children). But, the FFA (a “family” organization) claims the show is “propaganda” that presents a danger to American values by “hiding” the Islamic agenda. Yeah. Seriously?
