Raheem DeVaughn - She's Single (Official Video)

Okay, I'll admit. When I first listened to the song, I wasn't paying attention to the video.  I was just grooving to the music.  Well!  I just watched it for the tenth time...actually watched it in full not taking my eyes of the screen, and finally, I SEE everything that is going on in the video!  Total gasp, pearl clutching, lip biting moment.  Daaaaaaamn!  Parental discretion is advised!

It's Not Baby Fat; It's Fat, Baby: Why Black Women Need to be Honest About Weight

An educated Black brother expressed to me that he was “tired of not seeing any black women at the gym.”  The thing is, he had a very valid point.  I joined a new gym about a month ago, and they have not seen me since.  Now granted, I moved away from the area shortly thereafter and have been busier than Eliot Spitzer in a whorehouse; however, I seriously doubt that I would have kept regular gym hours if this was not the case.  Generally speaking, Black women tend to list a variety of excuses as to why they simply do not work out.

-  It will mess up my hair.  (FAT will mess up your body!)

-  I love my body just the way it is.  (Does your body feel the same way???)

-  My weight is genetic; black women have more curves.  (Have you curved into a circle???)

-  Work and family.  (If you do not take care of yourself, you may not be around to take care of anyone else.)

My mission for the next 365 days is to make sure I engage in regular, exertive, physical activity, and here is why you should too.

Ken Doll of the Day

Ken Doll: Adam Rodriguez
Nationality: Puerto Rican/Cuban American
Description: Actor
Caption: He is best known for his role as Eric Delko on CSI: Miami and starring opposite Taraji P. Henson in the acclaimed Tyler Perry film, I Can Do Bad All By Myself.  He is enjoyable to watch; this man oozes "IT" factor.  And as an added bonus, he is always pleasant and charming during interviews without being arrogant.  All of these attributes have made this sexy Latino thespian the Ken Doll of the Day.

Ken Doll of the Day

Ken Doll: Pooch Hall
Nationality: American
Description: Actor
Caption: He is best known for his role as Derwin on the hit series, The Game (and having a really ridiculous name).  He is great eye candy, but part of his appeal is his realistic portrayal of "the ways of men."  This combo makes him the Ken Doll of the Day.

Happy Monday!

Battle of the Barbies!

Lil Kim- Black Friday (Nicki Minaj Diss) (FULL SONG) CDQ DIRTY

Okay, from one Barbie to another, I'm on team Kim.  What can I say; I grew up on her! Besides, Nicki annoys the Maybeline mascara out of me!  But besides my very obvious bias, Kim has totally gone in!  Check-mate!  (And after re-reading this, I realize that I have way too many exclamation points in this post. But damn it, I meant every last one of them!)

Girl Talk

Cocoa Barbie: "How do you walk in to get your kid an abstinence ring with side boob showing?!"
Midge: "I thought the same thing! Open back! Side boob! Hooker hair!...If I had a diamond abstinence ring, I may have stayed a virgin."
Cocoa Barbie: "Please!"

Today's Outfit

Pajamas and Prada glasses!!!  I love Sundays :)

Ken Doll of the Day

Ken Doll: Idris Elba
Nationality: Ghanaian/Sierra Leonean British
Description: Actor
Caption: He is the tantalizing, chocolate, piece of heaven with the sexy accent.  Not only does he look good, he acts well too.  All of these things make this African brother worthy of the title, Ken Doll of the Day.

On the Topic of Haters, i.e. "Jealous Bitches"

Real Encounter 1
Cocoa Barbie: Lol!  Girl, you're so fake!
Teresa: No, you know what's fake?  Your hair. (blank stare)

Real Encounter 2
Teresa:  Please!  You spend hours on your makeup!
Cocoa Barbie:  Ummm...I work.  10 to 15 minutes is enough time for makeup application.

Real Encounter 3
Teresa:  Why are you all dressed up?  Geeze, this isn't a fashion show!
Cocoa Barbie:  Ummm...I always dress like this.  What's the problem?

I am never an advocate for giving haters attention that they DON'T deserve, however, today I feel I need to express myself....

Girl Talk

Cocoa Barbie: "Yeesh! And here I thought I was a bit on the conservative end!"

Midge: "Me too! I thought I was conservative and that you were the purveyor of a nunnery."

Ken Doll of the Day

Ken Doll: Willy Monfret
Nationality: French
Description: DJ; Model; Actor
Caption: I mean, who looks like this?  Really?! (If you're curious about why he looks familiar, he's the hottie from the Nicki Minaj video.  Best french import since the french fry.)



And you are....?

I was talking to my cousin in the car the other day, and she was laughing hysterically over some ridiculousness that I had spouted, when she suddenly turns to me and says, "You should do YouTube videos or yourself just talking!"  I toyed with the idea for a few moments before coming to the conclusion that immortalizing my innermost thoughts on film may not be the best thing, as I am decidedly inappropriate.  The next best thing?  A blog! [Because no one has ever done that before.]  Anyways, this is Cocoa Barbie, the uncensored version.  Reader discretion is advised.
