Guuuuuurl!! Whad up with you? Did you not look in the mirror before leaving the house? Where was your stylist? On a 15 minute break? Why did you listen to Lil Kim about what to wear? Where was ya momma? She could have helped you pick a dress to wear.
More Hoochie Serena! Even More Hoochie Serena! What do yall think of these pictures? 
It must be that time for PMS or very near that time. Each month I get one big annoying pimple that is no annoying. Sometimes I get more than 1 but where it shows up, it will be a lone pimple. I hate it. You would think that when you hit your 40's that whole acne thing would be over but it is not. In fact sometimes, I think it may be worst than when I was a teen. Normally that one lone pimple will show up on my face near the jawline, or one loan pimple on my nose and it will not act like a normal pimple. No.. it has to be giant in size and it will not come to a head for a very lone time. It just gets bigger and bigger and it hurts. I am an avid user of masks and exfoliatants, so when that one loan pimple shows up, I work extra on those areas. I mask it twice a day hoping to drawn it out. Nothing works. I then becomes most painful. I still continue to mask it 2 times aday to help it come to a head. Finally when I think it will never go away and it may be there for at leat a week just hanging out, growing, it looks like it may finally get a head on it. Still it is not enought. So I continue the masking and exfoliating. Finally it will come to a head and I surgically(( with a sterilized needle and peroxide)) puncture it to get rid of it. That is normally such a relief because the skin around is swollen and the release of pressure will end all the pain. Then I can work on healing it. It must be that time because several lone pimples have just cropped up. When I am stressed then several will come and not just the one. I just got rid of a loan pimple that was near the corner of my eye in the very soft skin aroudn the eye. It was there for a week and it was the most painful ever. Whoever heard of a pimple just under the eye..not on the face, but in the eye socket area. I could not use a needle there. I mean, you are not supposed to use things like masks or exfolialants in the eye area. I used a buff pupp and the most gentle mask Estee Lauder had. Now I have another on my left shoulder blade...just one. And one on the nape of the neck...just one. And of course I cannot really reach those to well. I can mask and use the loofah. The lone pimples of course on dark skin leaves a mark...a dark little scar. Those marks seem to last forever. We all want to have clear skin...at least I do. I have found that if you use a bleaching cream you can lighten those dak marks and they will fade away after a few months of use. This year, since about April I have been using a fade cream consistently. There was a time in my mid to late 30's when I did not have any sort of monthly breakout and I thought that time in my life was over as far as skin blemishes. But noooooooo. 40 + came and here I am with skin like a teen again. What gives???
History When discussing the twentieth century, we often compare and contrast life from the year 1900 to the year 2000. We all realize that in the year 1900, people didn't have cars, couldn't fly in airplanes, and didn't have microwaves. Yet, there is another item that those in the year 1900 did not have and those in the year 2000 took for granted - Oreo cookies. Most of us have grown up with Oreo cookies. There are photos of us with chocolaty remnants smeared across our faces. They've caused great disputes as to the best way to eat them - dunking them in milk or twisting off one side and eating the middle first. Besides eating them plain, there are recipes galore on how to use Oreos in cakes, milkshakes, and additional desserts. Oreos had become part of twentieth century culture. Though most of us have spent a lifetime cherishing Oreo cookies, did you know that since their introduction in 1912, the Oreo cookie has become the best selling cookie in the U.S.? Oreos Are Introduced In 1898, several baking companies merged to form the National Biscuit Company (NaBisCo), the maker of Oreo cookies. By 1902, Nabisco created Barnum's Animal cookies and made them famous by selling them in a little box designed like a cage with a string attached (to hang on Christmas trees). In 1912, Nabisco had a new idea for a cookie - two chocolate disks with a creme filling in between. The first Oreo cookie looked very similar to the Oreo cookie of today, with only a slight difference in the design on the chocolate disks. The shape and design of the Oreo cookie didn't change much until Nabisco began selling various versions of the cookie. In 1975, Nabisco released their DOUBLE STUF Oreos. Nabisco continued to create variations: 1987-Fudge covered Oreos introduced 1991-Halloween Oreos introduced 1995-Christmas Oreos introduced Now, how does all that relate to me? It relates to me in that I have been referred to as an Oreo cookie for the vast majority of my childhood. As a woman of color I look back on that with disgust. Really. Many of the neighborhood kids called me that just because I had better diction than they did. I guess I spoke like a "white person" but I was black---hence the oreo cookie comparison. Black on the outside and white on the inside. Could I help in that I took my education seriously and so did all in my family? Both my parents went to college and degrees and master degrees. I guess the neighborhood we lived in was not affluent so not everyone took advantage of an education. Fine. That is your choice to be a drop out or a crack head but making gun of others trying to get ahead? That is just like our people. Some of our people. We just cannot stand to see some of us get ahead. Crab Antics That is what a lot of black people practice. Crab antics. We are just like a barrel of crabs. All thrown in together, scrabbling to get ahead and if one does, all the others grab the crab at the top and pull him back down. You watch a barrel of crabs. You will see. Don't hate me just because I have good diction. Open a book. Study. Read. You too can be articulate.
