De-Virginize the Past?
There's a new movement brewing and it's making my organization look bad.
Thousands of women across America and many more around the world are seeking to reclaim their virginity. Some are praying it back into place while others pay up to $5000 to have their hymens reattached. Are the future husbands of these women inspecting their hymens to see if it's in place before they buy the cow?
Read story here...
As a Virginal Virgo™, to know that women are falsely identifying themselves as such is very disturbing.
Those who know me know that I hold the tenet's of Virginal Virgoism™ near and true to how I live my life:
a. Deny, deny, deny.
b. If you don't believe it, no one else will.
c. If you're born a virgo, you have the right to assign and re-assign your virginity whenever you see fit.
Frankly, I'm sick of these women who think they have the right to be a virgin whenever they'd like, while demeaning others who own their non-virgin status outright. Leave that to the Virginal Virgos™, thankyouverymuch.
What's wrong with celibacy? Although this idea is really stupid, I really hate how women are the only ones being taught by churches and by public school abstinence courses to be the only ones to be ashamed enough to do these sexual do-overs.
If it was such a mistake, why can't they just learn from it an move on?
Educate teenagers on the virtues of waiting.
Take up knitting as a hobby.
But don't think you can pray your hymen back into place.
He Can Stimulate the Economy...Among Other Things
More than anything, after people talk about how Barack Obama inspires them or how he motivates throngs of American voters, I hear people (male and female) say how much they wouldn't mind taking ol' Barry out for a test drive.
Yep, they'd just push Michelle to the side and have their way with him.
Now, I can't say that I don't see what they're talking about, BUT we all know that Michelle Obama's shank game ain't to be tested.
That don't stop those of us who dream about reaching the Obama O from dreaming.
While I'm thinking about it...

A Pretty Little Girl With A Diddy Style
Diddy has revealed what he’s getting ex-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez as a baby gift. “I’m going to send her some Sean John baby clothes. I’m so happy for her. It’s such a blessing.”
When asked by People last night if he had any advice for his former lady love, Diddy — also the father of twins - replied, “It’s double the love, and it’s also double the crying and the screaming, so it’s a unique blessed situation. It’s a rarity to have twins. She’ll be all right.”
[source]
Like Marc Anthony is going to have his kids wearing Sean John.
Those clothes aren't gonna have a chance to cross the Anthony/Lopez threshold...Just get scorched right there at the door and Jennifer will be none the wiser.
I'd be pretty angry if I found out an ex (who I'm still cordial with) tried to reach out to me and got blocked by my current. ESPECIALLY if he came bearing gifts. Somebody may have to get cut loose. I don't know, maybe that's just me. Or not.

Do You Want A Worthless Job?
Solange, court jester of the Knowles Dynasty is creating a new members for her band, Hadley Street Dreams Band.
Solange Knowles is following big sister Beyonce's lead and recruiting a band of unknowns to join her on tour. Beyonce held auditions for a dance troupe to appear in her videos and perform live with her and now Solange is hoping to form her own band the same way.
She will be holding auditions for her Hadley Street Dreams Band in her adopted home of Los Angeles on March 6.
And she's hoping that her new recruits will be able to double up as dancers too.
A spokesman for Knowles says, "The Hadley Street Dreams, a '60s-inspired full band, will perform all live shows with Solange in support of her upcoming album, to be released this August."
Knowles' requirements include two female backing singers, a drummer, guitar player, bass player and two pianists.
Musicians who cannot make it to the March audition are invited to submit a try-out video to Knowles' website.
[Source]
Let me translate a few things:
"'60s-inspired full band"
The clothing allowance for the band will come from the storage closet of clothes Matthew and Tina Knowles wore during their swinging days in the '60's.
"Musicians who cannot make it to the March audition are invited to submit a try-out video to Knowles' website."
Send her a friend request on Myspace. (They ain't paying for a site for that child.)
Good luck trying to get paid!
With the industry power of the Knowles' World Music Entertainment label, this is an artist's rendering of what Solange's assembled band, Hadley Street Dreams Band will look like:
Once again, this is a MeikiSquared exclusive listing of Solange's album debuting August 2008 with her new band, Hadley Street Dreams Band.

Kelly Rowland posing for playboy,and getting low balled in the process.

Kelly must not remember the Modern Bride magazine fiasco that led her fiance to go running for the hills.
Immediately (I mean immediately) after becoming engaged to Roy Williams in 2005, Kelly agreed to be on the cover of Modern Bride Magazine's next issue.
The issue was released, Roy go bye bye.
In August 2007, Kelly appeared on King Magazine's 'Wet Issue' decked out in baby oil and fish grease mixed with water.
But I will say that the Playboy spread will give her a good venue to show off her two new purchases.

Superdelegates Explained...Hopefully
Here's a crash course in Superdelegates and how they fit into the 2008 Democratic presidental nominee decision.
As the Democratic primary race heats up between Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, the delegate estimate between the two remains extremely close. For the first time, Democratic superdelegates may decide their party's nominee.
Superdelegates are not required to indicate a preference for a candidate.
Candidates, however, can use their persuasive power to win over superdelegates' support.
[CNN.com]
The Lowdown
Superdelegates Are:
Democratic Party Leaders (former presidents, former congressional leaders)
Democratic Members of Congress
Democratic Governors
Plus a Small Number Chosen at State Party Conventions
(There are no Republican Superdelegates)
The Democratic party has:
3,253 DELEGATES
796 SUPERDELEGATES
--
4,049 TOTAL
To win the Democratic nomination, a candidate needs 2,025 out of 4,049 total number of delegates.
Because Obama and Clinton are neck-and-neck in pledged delegates, the superdelegate number could set a candidate over the top, reaching the number of delegates needed to win the party's nomination.
As of February 25, 2008...
*Obama leads in overall delegate count
*Clinton has support of more superdelegates
237 Superdelegates pledge support for Senator Clinton
181 Superdelegates pledge support for Senator Obama
--
318 Superdelegates are uncommitted
Much has happened just this week:
Senator Christopher Dodd has officially endorsed Senator Obama.
Congressman John Lewis has officially changed his pledge from Clinton to Obama.
That is huge for the candidate because the influence of the senator and congressman can be far reaching.
The WORST thing about the superdelegates deal is that if the nomination comes down to the superdelegate vote, and it's likely this year, we won't have a clear democratic nominee until the 2008 Democratic National Convention in AUGUST!

Tina Knowles, Put Your Dreams Away...
...File it under "Tried, but Denied".
Tina Knowles, MISS TINA if you're nasty, took time from designing for Hut de Dereon™, to appear on the HSN network for its Spring Fashion Week presented by ELLE magazine during the 12am-2am shift.
The ludicrous memo announcing MISS TINA's appearance can be read at Stylerazzi.
Here's a bit of background information about MISS TINA from the HSN website (obviously written by a Knowles operative aka Solange):
About Miss Tina...
Teaching women how to stylishly dress no matter their size or age is the goal of Miss Tina, a new line of clothing, accessories and jewelry from Tina Knowles. Geared toward women who love a chic yet classic look, it gives any body type a fashionable clothing option with attention to detail and a couture fit.
Presenting the 2008 Spring line of MISS TINA
Cowboy on a Safari
Mature Freakum 'Fit
Dominatrix On-The-Go
Have you ever had a handbag and thought to yourself, "This bag doesn't have enough shit on it!"
MISS TINA has you covered!
Logo Lobotomy
The MISS TINA MT logo is plastered all over her goods.
In my case, the logo is a TM for "Take Me" (Higher Lord!)
A little cross-promotion sticking on those left over Dereon logos.
If the MISS TINA logo is not enough, the MISS TINA gold name plates remind you even more about the questionable purchase you've made.
"MMVII
MISS TINA
TASTE OF COUTURE"
MISS TINA forgot to also include the Pledge of Allegiance.
Snake earrings...too easy.
This gem that defines the hobo in hobo chic is retailing for a whopping $250.00!
Just in case you have to be reminded.
Shop MISS TINA at HSN...
I thought the TJ Maxx appeal of MISS TINA's first two lines would make her and her operation chill out on those caviar prices for fishstick products, but I see the Knowles Corp. hasn't gotten the memo.
I'll be looking forward to avoiding the MISS TINA line on the clearance table at the local Burlington Coat Factory.

Actor Michael K. Williams Opens Up About Omar's Demise
Omar was killed buying a pack of cigarettes in a local corner-store by a kid wholooked like he hadn't even reached puberty yet.
"I don't know if it was so much of a surprise," Williams said of the conclusionof his now-iconic role. "That's how David and Ed and all of them write: not whateverybody is expecting. Everybody was expecting to see him bang out with Snoop and Chris or Marlo. That's exactly what he didn't give you, but he also told
another story where the minds of the youth are. The young nation, that's how they do. Life is real cheap right now.
"It took me for a loop. I was also saddened. Not that he was dying, 'cause when I got the job, they told me season one Omar was only going to be around for seven episodes. 'After that, expect a bullet.' It still hurt.
Read complete story here...
Note: It is mentioned in the article that Omar took his grandmother to church on Sundays and "wet up the block the same day". That line isn't true. Omar did take his grandmother to church on Sundays, but he also took Sunday of from robbing drug dealers. Get your sh*t right, Shaheem Reid! (FYI, this is the second writer whom I've had to correct about Omar's attributes, but the writer in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution fixed the error right away.)
Felicia "Snoop" Pearson, the Author
Felicia "Snoop" Pearson, who plays the cold-blooded hit woman on HBO's The Wire, is currently on a book tour to promote her memoir entitled, "Grace After Midnight: A Memoir". Pearson, who was discovered for the role of Snoop by Michael K. Williams who plays the character Omar, is in Atlanta today to speak to the public about her book.
From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
...But for the grace of God and landing the acting gig, Pearson’s life could resemble Snoop’s on “The Wire.” Her memoir traces her birth as a crack baby to foster care placement and prison after she murdered a woman. Post-“Wire,” Pearson will focus her attention on more acting projects and on a youth program she started in Brooklyn and Baltimore with Jamie Hector, who plays Marlo on theshow.
Read a short interview with Felicia here...
Like I've mentioned before, I don't watch HBO's The Wire final season anymore because of the many, many plot twists that my heart cannot bear to handle anymore, but I'll continue to speak about the actors on the show since I know David Simon and Ed Burns can't kill them off! Read More......

2008 Democratic Primary Updates
Hillary Clinton has inspired me! I'm changing my support from Barack Obama.
All I have to do is marry a professional man, put up with his shit for x amount of years and eventually tack his credentials onto mine.
I really hope that I marry a urologist because I really aspire to inspect men's packages without all of that book learnin'.
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton held a Democractic primary debate on MSNBC Tuesday evening. The debate was moderated by Meet the Press' Tim Russert.
"Bitch, I'll cut you."
Are the Rebublican primary candidates Senator John McCain and Arkansas governor Mike Hucklebee even bothering with debating?
Does anyone even care?
What do you think about the debate? Were your opinions on the candidates expanded? Which candidate emerged victorious from the debate in your opinion?
Watch Hillary Clinton answer whether she'll release another record she's hiding from the public and Barack Obama answer whether or not he'll reject the support of Louis Farrakhan and other debate videos here.
Read about it here.
I would like to explain the relationship I have with political debates...
I didn't watch last night's debate nor any preceding debate because by doing so I will either:
a. Yell at the screen throughout the broadcast at the person I'm against or when my candidate makes a mistake.
b. Writhe on the floor in front of the television in the fetal position.
So I apologize in advance for not having a personal opinion for any past or future political debates that may take place.
In other politiks:

Clinton courting the vote of the pathetic crowd.
Clinton supporters are a shank above the rest.

If you don't know...
For a while now, I've been obsessed with these freaky* folks.
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, first brought to the world's stage by The Discovery Channel, are the parents of 17 children and counting, ranging from the ages of 6 months to 19 years. The family are evangelical Baptists who belive in the Quiverfull teachings.
Quiverfill-
The belief is Christians should maintain a strongly welcoming attitude toward the possibility of bearing children. Adherents reject birth control use as completely incompatible with this belief.
From what I've been reading, Michelle Duggar was your average young woman coming from a small family when she met Jim Bob, so I'm figuring he talked her into his lifestyle and religion which includes that haircut, long skirts, binding down her and her daughter's breasts and having as many children in as she possibly can before her uterus quits this bitch.
My question to you is:
Does dude have game or what?!
I want a man like that, but I want him to talk me into living in a trailer park during tornado season or something dangerous and exiciting as that.

An Obama Assassination Strikes Fear In Some Supporters
Genuine Concern or a Cop-out Tactic?
[Barack Obama supporters] watch with wonder as Barack Obama moves ever closer to becoming America's first black president. And they ask themselves, their family, their friends: Is he at risk? Will he be safe?
In New Mexico, a daughter says she persuaded her mother to still vote for Mr. Obama, even though the mother feared that winning would put him in danger.
Clyde Barrett, 66, a longtime U.S. Labor Department employee now retired in Tampa, Fla., says he often hears expressions of concern for Obama's safety. One young acquaintance, Barrett said, declared he wouldn't even vote for Obama for fear of exposing him to more danger.
"To me that's a cop-out, where you can't take a stand and support someone because you fear for his safety," Barrett said. "I don't have any apprehension ... We've got to go ahead and persevere."
[...]
...a recent local radio show in which one female caller termed Obama "the devil" and falsely asserted that he was Muslim.
His wife, Michelle Obama, voiced concerns about his safety before he was elected to the Senate. Three years ago, she said she dreaded the day her husband received Secret Service protection, because it would mean serious threats had been made against him.
[...]
"If you're willing to heed Coretta Scott King's words and not be afraid of the future ... there's no challenge we can't overcome," she said.
[source, source]
I'm sure some of you may have heard the position of some people who have decided not to vote for Barack Obama in the primaries or in the presidental election if he becomes party's nominee for fear he will be killed by a disgruntled American.
If the man is putting himself out there on the line everyday, the least people who believe in his message could do is support his campaign and help him to win the hearts and minds of the American electorate.
Those "fears" that some tout as the reason for voting against Barack Obama are just excuses to not be responsible and be involved in the future of your country and to me that's just plain old punk thinking.
Fun Fact:
Did you know that Barack Obama is ethnic?

What's Happening To Our Black Leaders?!
J. Holiday Arrested
The rising star was pulled over in Salisbury, Md. while driving home from a performance "at a high rate of speed" along with another vehicle.
A small amount of the drug turned up from Holiday's center console after a search.
Holiday (real name Nahum Grymes) faces drug possession charges along with the other occupant in his car, George Jackson.
In related news, Holiday has announced a 21-city tour that is slated to begin in just two days (Monday, Feb. 25). He will co-headline the month-long tour, which follows the re-release of his gold debut album, Back of My 'Lac, with fellow up-and-comer Trey Songz.
This publicity sh*t is out of control.
[source]
Grymes. That's pretty ironic because J. Holiday is one gritty ass dude.
I get irked by him because I can't stand lazy ass looking R&B singers. There's a big difference between being laid back and fucking effort all together. He always manages to look like he sleeps on a friends couch in the basement and is an eye booger away from looking like Ned the Wino.
Could he at least try to look like a gentleman?
I'm not saying that he should fit in some sort of mold, but if you're crooning and trying to serenade the female population, you should at least look the part of a sophisticated, attractive, well-put-together young man.
