your two days.

Well so much has happened this week: Ms. California is getting dethroned, Joe the fake Plumber is now an Independent, Michelle Obama was on Sesame Street (love her to pieces!), Detroit has a new Mayor, Chrisette Michelle’s new album is out, and Poprah and her KFC offer is a hot mess. Free chicken to anyone with a pulse= tragic disaster. Welcome to new readers Blu Topaz, Bridget, Tango, Key, Jamaica81, Dionne, Brandie, Moodboard, and Danielle. GT sincerely thanks you for peeking in, dropping by and throwing your comments in the blog box. Cause no comments means no community. So gratitude is the order of the day… an extra special thanks to Jeanine from AphroChic and the lovely interview. Some interesting links: This weekend is the Brooklyn Design show in Dumbo (I’ll be checking it out and reporting back) and here’s an extensive article on the whatnots and abouts the design show here. And here’s Desiree Rogers looking smoooking hot in WSJ Magazine. She’s 49. I’m headed out early to get started on Mother’s Day festivities (WAFFLES!)..so all of you have a Happy and I’ll be in your beeswax on Monday.
