The Top 5 Reasons Party Girl HATES Atlanta....

I know I may catch some flack for this.... being that SUNSHINE GIRL is from Atlanta, FASHIONISTA GIRL once had a love affair with Atlanta and often times dreams of returning and I have had several events celebrating my birthday in Atlanta...

BUT GOOD LAWD I hate that city !!!

I once lived in the ATL-SHAWTY YEAH, so I have witnessed first hand what I am about to speak on. So without further ado....

PARTY GIRL'S TOP 5 REASONS FOR HATING ATLANTA, GA



I absolutely LOVE this show.....don't get me wrong. It's coonery at its best. However, I do not condone the fakery of it all. Sheree's home was in foreclosure while she still bragged about all of the clothing, cars, jewels and shoes she purchased. There was so much talk of her receiving a seven figure settlement, however, she was "unaware" her ex-husband was not paying the mortgage. The internet works.... she could've found that ish out. I can't even comment on Kim and NeNe...I ...just ...CAN'T !!!







Everything about Atlanta is fake. Pretty self explanatory. NEXT !!!











Now, I want to get married some day and I realized at the tender age of 21, that it was NOT going to happen in Atlanta. There are entirely too many women, and not enough single men. The most important issue is half the men who were looking at me were also looking at T.I. Come on now.....




















The Falcons did Michael Vick so dirty. This man performed MIRACLES on the football field for that team and they dropped him like a fake Louis VITRON from a pick up truck. It's okay Ron Mexico, you are going to come back ... just like your flare ups...












The streets ain't safe no more. Until Gucci and Jeezy "Stop The Violence and Increase The Peace", you won't see me riding through Decatur, The SWATS and/or Bankhead. Where is Al Sharpton ? Instead of running up behind Joe Jackson, Reverend Al needs to set up a press conference with these two..... and tell DJ Drama to bring his high yella ass as well. All these damn stabbings, shootings and shit... sit DOWN Atlanta !!!

Conspiracy Theory #6754

It is CONSTANTLY cringe time when, at a nightclub or event, the DJ does his obligatory shout out to "all the independent women out there, who make they own money, drive they own car, pay they own rent, you don't need no man to help you with shit....make some MUTHAFREAKIN nooooiiiisssseee"....

Then the screams would ensue, ladies hands holding white zinfandel would be thrown into the air, cheap wine spilled on my shoes and a bunch of freakin lies hurled into the night's aura. I HATE THE SHOUT OUTS TO INDEPENDENT WOMEN !!! Whether it's from Ne-yo, Lil Boosie, Jamie Foxx, Destiny's Child or DJ Kool, it's all a crock of shit to me.

I honestly think most men make these songs to manipulate women to get out of their pockets.

I would say about 12 of the 15 GIRLS closest to me are truly "independent women" and let me tell you, that shit ain't cute. When the ceiling leaks, we are responsible for having it fixed. When the mortgage is due, we are the ones clicking the set up payment button via online banking. When the trash needs to be taken out, car needs to go to the shop, gas needs to be pumped....you guessed it... we are the ones doing it for ourselves. Let me be the FIRST one to say, I ain't putting my hands up at no party celebrating this shit....it's for the birds.

In having conversations with THE GIRLS I have come to learn this: We can do it for ourselves and have been pretty successful with it, but damn, can a sister get some assistance.

Now, let me keep it one hunnit. We all have boos (current and exes) who understand that the trash needs to go out, the car may need to be washed, the big ass TV in the dining room needs to be put in the basement. THE GIRLS appreciate the small tokens of manly affection shown by being available to do those things for us, respectively. However, I think its the consistency of having your man, your HUSBAND there to assume the very same gender role that some feminists have fought to erase is what we are all striving for.

CHATTY GIRL, who is also a Doctor, just recently purchased a 2,400 square foot home in Florida. The house has spacious landscaping and a pool. Immediately after she closed on her new home, she and SUNSHINE GIRL went to the home to take a look around and speak with the previous owners. After taking a tour of her newly purchased home, the previous owner, a 60+ year old man says to CHATTY and SUNSHINE, "I need to speak with the man of the house about some things." CHATTY informs the man that it is just her who will be living there, no man... just her. The man then states, "Yeah, I understand that... but where is the man who will be taking care of everything around the house, I NEED to speak to the man...where's the man ?"

I found his badgering of CHATTY to be extremely funny, yet enlightening. Should CHATTY have waited until she was married before she purchased a home ? ABSOLUTELY NOT ! However, she now has to be and do everything Ne-Yo, Lil Boosie, Jamie Foxx, etc. love about her and the rest of THE GIRLS. But they, and the rest of these chicken heads who ain't even "independent" can go somewhere with glorification of a woman who "don't need no man".

On behalf of myself and the rest of THE GIRLS:

MEN...WE NEED YOU !!****

**** = only if you have a job, car, benefits, no baby mama drama, good credit, you know how to lay pipe (literally and figuratively) and you can make a lady laugh.....ahahahah

Community Service...With a Twist

So three of THE GIRLS volunteer as cheerleading coaches for a Harlem based little league football team. It is by far one of the most rewarding community service activities I have ever been a part of in life ! These little girls absolutely look up to us and honestly make an effort to be their very best as young adults and as cheerleaders.

HOWEVER...this is an "urban" organization. So I offer the following insight into our modus operandi.

Dear Coaches,

We had 8 girls to show up for practice yesterday.

Getting to the field is tricky, I did not know the team took public transportation to get there. I don't like that. Especially since there are some mental patients from Phyllip's Island who are on the bus as well (as I have been told). Some of the parents drop the kids off directly to the field, but for the others I want to devise a way of getting there and back without having to get on the M135 at 124th and 2nd !!!

Coach Mikki led them in stretches, review of arm positions and we went over all of the cheers. I had them running anytime someone was not in zone. Needless to say, the older girls are about done with Baby Jasmine and Baby Nicole.

I am noticing that the little girls make the rest of the girls look "off". We definitely need to work with Janice, Shani and Jamie (noticed from Saturday). The other girls are doing pretty well with feet, arm and hand placements. Of course they can be louder.

Since there is no bathroom out there, guess what ?? NONE of them had to use the restroom...WE ARE BEING DUPED !!!

I think Tuesday practices will pick up in attendance and will be beneficial. I just want to work out the travel details for the girls.

Also, we are going to have to have a meeting with the older girls regarding some parent complaints about inappropriate texting, cussing, etc. and instant messaging amongst them. I would like Deondria to sit in the meeting as well so we can ascertain what is going on and nip it in the bud. Let's save this for the next Saturday that I am there. We also need to talk to the parents about LIMITING their input at practice. The only parent who is pretty beneficial is Baby Jasmine's dad. Some parents (who will go unnamed) were at practice yesterday BLASTING Nelly "Drop Down and Get Your Eagle On" from a Boombox circa Radio Raheem of Do The Right Thing. .... so of course the little girls start dancing.... MESS !!!

I will not be at practice on Saturday, but will be there on Tuesday again. If any of you can POSSIBLY make it on Tuesdays even if its late, please come out. It's perfect spacing and turf for stunting.

Coach Mike paid for the uniforms, shoes and poms. I should have them in 3 weeks.

Hmmmm...what else ? Coach KC GIRL and Coach JUJU GIRL, please share more information about camp. Alot of the girls and other coaches have been inquiring.

ok, thats it....

- PARTY GIRL

And Beauty Is Her Name....

How excited are THE GIRLS to know that we are expecting our first baby girl into the NY Circle of girlfriends. CAREBEAR GIRL recently informed us that she will be delivering a baby girl in November and THE GIRLS could not be happier.

I have already signed up for Sunday Afternoons and another weekday for baby duty. This baby doesn't have a chance....11 honorary aunties ??

The ultimate "Auntie Team"...

I Know What Girls Like.....

I've decided to compose a short TOP 5 list of all things liked by THE GIRLS... follow me now !

1) MAXWELL: This man, this man, this man !!! I may officially be a Maxwell Stan. I was one of the many who waited over an hour and a half for him to take the stage at The Essence Music Festival. I was also one of the many who came out to CBS Plaza three days later to see him perform for the Early Show with SUNSHINE GIRL and CALI GIRL. I will also be one of the many to see his performance in Connecticut in two weeks with my new guy friend. His new CD from the first note, though short in track listings, immediately took me back to the love I have for his melodic and soothing sound. THE GIRLS love his music, his style and LAWD HAVE MUURRCCAAY...that smile !!!


2) COCKTAILS: Did somebody say Happy Hour ? Is PARTY GIRL's marketing company sponsoring another open bar event ? Is it Cinco De Mayo, Juneteenth or one of THE GIRLS birthday ? WE DON'T NEED AN EXCUSE !! The mere mention of going out for drinks immediately sparks a favorable response. And don't let it be a corporate sponsored reception, party, concert, etc. with an open bar. YOU CAN FORGET IT !!!








3) NEW YORK BOUTIQUES AND SAMPLE SALES: Now, I'm not much of a shopper. I literally only shop for clothing about two to three times a year out of necessity. WHATSONEVAH, some of THE GIRLS are, word to Kanye, "single black females addicted to retail and well". One thing I have noticed about my GIRLS is they love hard to find pieces that are generally housed in one of a kind boutiques in the New York area. FASHIONISTA GIRL even produced a highly successful fashion event entitled, "Harlem's Fashion Row" which debuted alot of fashions housed in boutiques here in Harlem. I recently became HIGHLY envious of SUNSHINE GIRL's new Dolce & Gabbana finds at a sample sale. Good thing we wear the same size in shoes :)




4) MEN: Short men, tall men, geeky men, thugs, employed men, cute men, he's cute in his own way men, THE GIRLS love them some men. Most times when we are debating where to head for HAPPY HOUR, the first question is, "Will men be there ?". Dating in New York City is a damn sport. You can literally go on a date every night of the week if you so choose and you have a plethora of men to choose from. Bankers, Lawyers, Doctors, Musicians, Politicians, Dope Boys, Promoters, Marketing Executives....wooooo they are everywhere. However, as I stated in a previous post, we are attempting to make better decisions in the men we choose to date. Hmmmmmmm, but until then, "Yes, I am free for drinks on Saturday Night" Cause we like himmmmmm, and we like him tooooo....



I saved the most important for last....



5) The LORD: I know its hard to believe this. You know, based upon the tomfoolery that I share about THE GIRLS. One thing holds supreme though, and has not wavered during our tenure in New York. THE GIRLS LOVE THE LORD !! Six of THE GIRLS attend the same church in Harlem, while about three other GIRLS choose to worship at another church in Harlem as well. I can honestly say that God led us all together, at this divinely appointed time and faith and love have kept us close as girlfriends. We pray for each other, we worship together and we attend Bible Study together. I know for a fact that I would not have been in the company of these wonderful women if it were not for God and his amazing timing !

THANK YOU GOD FOR THE GREATEST GIRLFRIENDS A GAL COULD HAVE!!

I Spy .....

The age old question for most women of good character....eh hmm...most !

I am guilty of it. Most of THE GIRLS are guilty of it as well. When that gut feeling kicks in, the woman's intuition is flowing, what's the best way of getting confirmation on something ?

GO THROUGH HIS SHIT !!!!!

Now, I have had several boyfriends whose personal items I did not touch. The phone would be sitting right next to me buzzing, and I never touched it. I would have the passwords to email addresses, and I never checked it. Why you may ask ? Because (i) I really did not want to violate their privacy because I cared about them and (ii) I didn't want to find anything out that would hurt my feelings. HOWEVER, when said boyfriends gave me a reason to snoop....you BEST BELIEVE I went through phones, email addresses, drawers, caller ID logs, etc. I found exactly what I was looking for too. HEARTBREAK !!!

I was just having a conversation with one of THE GIRLS who is notorious for going through a man's things....unapologetically. I recently inquired about her out of town boo and she responded, "Oh...he ain't talking to me right now. Clearly pissy cause I told him I went through his phone." WORD ??? YOU TOLD HIM ??

She responded, "Listen, it's too far in the game right now for me to be putting all of this energy into a relationship and he is not of the same mindset. I needed to know." I wondered if she in fact found anything that contradicted the stance that he took in their relationship. She found some text messages to some woman. She found them to be inappropriate, he found them to be harmless.

Needless to say, he was none-the-pleased. He has called her everything from "childish" to a "violator". She says she has apoplogized enough...but would do it again in a heartbeat.

This subject gets various reviews from THE GIRLS. Some are adamant about snooping, some think it's repulsive. Some rely on a woman's intuition and look for direct evidence to confirm their suspicions, some rely on a woman's intuition and just ask. To each his own. Whatever you decide to do, be prepared for the answer !

Now, where is my magnifying glass ??
