Great DC Find: Pink November Grand Opening

Hi Darlings:

So many people thought the Pink November store on 11th and U St., NW was closed. I know I did! It seems like they just up and disappeared one day. Well low and behold they moved to 15th and U St., a better location. So, show your love for unique designs and attend the opening this Saturday, November 8th at 2pm.

A New Era...President-Elect Barack Obama!

Hi Darlings:

I try to keep the writing on this blog politics neutral, but this phenomenal, history making, awe inspiring, pinch myself did that really just happen moment deserves all the attention in the world.
We just elected the first African-American President in the United States!! Congratulations President-Elect Barack Obama!

Many times we look back on defining moments in time - the March on Washington with Martin Luther King Jr., the signing of Declaration of Independence, the suffragists fighting for and winning the Womens' Right to Vote, the end of slavery (silence) - and think will we ever have that opportunity, such a moment or any semblance of a chance to make such a difference in the lives of people in our communities at home and around the world during our lifetime. On November 4, 2008 (TODAY!), we were given that opportunity to change the direction of history and we met this challenge head on. Together as Americans we can and have accomplished so much. People power is unbelievable and from this day on should never be taken for granted. We have now learned that we can dream about the unforeseen and wish for the seemingly unattainable and plan for beyond the first step and know that success can be ours because hopefully in all ways we will "not be judged by the color of [our] skin, but by the content of [our] character." (Martin Luther King Jr.)

"It always seems impossible until it's done." (Nelson Mandela)

Election Day Fashion Dilemma - Voting on November 4th

Hi Darlings:

For Halloween this year I dressed up as Amy Winehouse and spent some time (not a lot) thinking about this costume. I debated applying fake tattoos but decided against doing this as there was no guarantee that it would wash off as easily as I would like. So, in short I was a tattoo-less Winehouse with straight teeth. The most interesting aspect of dressing like Amy W. was not that all the costume items except the fake eyelashes were in my closet but that EVERYONE and their mother had the same idea. Go figure! Needless to say, that costume dilemma is out of the way. But then I started thinking of Election Day not because of the many election night parties but because of the emotions involved either way with the result. So I thought what would a Diva wear.

Divas like everyone else get emotional. Yes we do...we just know how to control our facial reactions. Example - you walk by a firiend and she is wearing polka dots and striped shirt. You are shocked of course, but you still walk over and give her a kiss-kiss greeting. At this point, you are being in seen in public with her but whatever she is your friend.

So I am debating wearing mascara today or not wearing mascara today since I will either be wiping away tears or shaking my head really hard in disbelief. Either way I will end the day as an emotional Diva and I have to believe that I will be wiping away tears no matter what. So, does it matter whether I wear mascara or not - NO! Because the only fashion statement that I care to make is too get up and get out and VOTE!!

Darlings - don't let fashion get in the way oof doing your duty. VOTE!

Leave a comment and let me know how it went for you.

Hugs and besos.
