HC I could have sword Tony Toni Tone revealed to us in 1990 something or other that it NEVER rains in Southern California?!?!!?

HC
stay dry?
last night, I LMAO when the weatherman, nonAFAM mentioned the song, "It never rains in SoCal" in his weather report? LMAO
I was like Mr. Weatherman knows that song?
so, the anchorman (nonAFAM) didn't believe it was a REAL song?
the anchorman asked the weatherman how did it go?
the weatherman SANG a bar or 2?
so, the anchorman asked the weatherman who made it?
the weatherman didn't know? (yeah right...)
so the other anchor(my cousin) laughed?
they all laughed?
she didn't say a word?
I KNOW SHE KNOWS who made that?
but it was funny that the weather man would bring up TonyToniTone' in his report to say that, YES, it DOES rain in SoCal?

HC it continues to rain in so cal?

HC I haven't been able to do anything with my 3 day weekend due to the water factor?

HC I'm so tired of being in this house I think I'm going to just but on my boots, grab my umbrella and go for a walk just keep my sanity?

HC there is a non-black woman on the back cover of Essence Magazine (March issue)?
HC it seems like every month there are more and more models that are non-Black in Essence magazine?
HC if you don't believe you, look through the ads?
HC the March 2005 issue featuring a Lauren (polo) ad, a Carson Pirie Scott ad, an Estee Lauder ad all in the first 20 pages?
HC I *thought* it was created as a magazine to show examples of Black beauty and to give Black models a chance when they had no chance?
HC although it is 2005, I *still* think that it's imperative for our young women to see examples of Black beauty?
HC if I wanted to see everyone else, I could purchase any copy of Elle, Mademoiselle or even O (the Oprah magazine)?

HC what is my magazine coming to?

HC I sent an email to the Editor about this about a year ago when they first changed editors Monique Green (which is when I first started noticing it) and I received no answer?

HC if we demanded that Gap gave us an ad with a Black model (for the back cover) they would have done it (or got no ad in Essence) AND A BLACK MODEL WOULD HAVE WORKED ANOTHER DAY?

HC is it just me?

HC
Essence has TOTALLY gone "mainstream"?
who knows what we will see in the future or won't see?

[CrimsonTide4]

HC Essence sold itself to another more mainstream corporation sometime last year?
HC let me go check?

[AKA2D '91]

check the latest issue. (Gabrielle Union Cover) Lewis gives his rationale for totally selling Essence.

[RedefinedDiva]

HC someone needs to close the gate?

[SummerChild]

HC if Lewis thinks that Essence will continue to maintain its same level of commitment to Black women that he has obviously not been reading issues for the past year?
HC I don't expect him to pass up a business deal but I do expect him to put clauses in place in the contract that require Black models?
HC if he was really interested he would have put it in black and white?
HC mainstream media can not tell me that a Black model was not available for that Lauren ad, the Estee Lauder ad and that Gap back cover?
HC I need to start a letter-writing campaign?

HC it is funny when people say "that is all I have to say" then they come back with the more argument and once again declare "that is all I have to say"?
HC that just makes them look silly?

HC we get in trouble when we don't trust our instincts?
HC our gut tells us something isn't right and we ignore it, later to find that we were right all along?
HC the desire to be loved makes people ignore MAJOR flaws in their prospective partners?

[CrimsonTide4]

HC I still have some weakness from my illness?
HC I am sitting here trying to write an essay and I have to keep stopping because my arm is so sore?
HC I guess I need to resume working out too?

HC 4 more hours and I can get back home and relax?
HC I will lay my head on my own pillow?

HC some folks don't realize that they invite trouble in their own lives?
HC coworker on my team broke up with her boyfriend?
HC this happened sometime in January?
HC for a while I was concerned for her?
HC sometimes he would call and they would still argue?
HC she would run to the bathroom and cry?
HC this morning she is telling others how her car was broken into last night and they stole her radio, CD player and CDs?
HC she was at her "we're back together now" boyfriend's place?
HC if you had stayed alone, you would still have your isht!?!?

HC I looooooooooooooove peace of mind?
HC I wish all of my exes well but we are not together for a reason?
HC it took me a while to get over some of them but when you hear stories like hers, you want to run out in the rain and SANG!?!?!?

HC back to writing?

HC tain't that the truth...ruth?
