HOT RECIPE!
Chocolate Covered Strawberries!
Every Pretty Hot Chick has one treat she can whip up at a moment's notice! And honey, this recipe from hottie chef Iman Dean, (www.sweetpotatopiediaries.blogspot.com) is simple, sexy and will have your lover thinking you spent hours trying to figure out how to get the chocolate to stay around the strawberries. Oh and don't forget the heels while you feed him...
Ingredients:
3 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
3 ounces milk chocolate chips
3 ounces white chocolate chips
2 Tbsp of butter
1 pound strawberries with stems (about 20), washed and dried
Directions:
Combine 1 tablespoon of butter, semisweet and milk chocolate chips in one heat proof medium bowl & the other tbsp of white chocolate chips in another. Fill 2 medium saucepans with a couple inches of water & bring to a simmer over medium heat. Turn off the heat; set the bowls of chocolate over the water to melt. Stir until smooth. Once the chocolates are melted & smooth, remove from the heat. Line a sheet pan with parchment or waxed paper. Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip the fruit into the dark chocolate, lift & twist slightly, letting any excess chocolate fall back into the bowl. Set strawberries on the parchment paper. Repeat with the rest of the strawberries. Dip a fork in the white chocolate and drizzle the white chocolate over the dipped strawberries. Set the strawberries in refrigerator until the chocolate sets, about 15 minutes. Bon appétit!
Yummy!I love chocolate-covered strawberries & boy is it fun to make, eat & play with...LOL!
Bananas, apples, mangos and other fruit can be used too. Just apply same steps.

News Report: Haiti Earthquake
As many of you know, Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, experienced a devasting earthquake that crippled the impovished nation. The 7.0-magnitude earthquake that struck southern Haiti late Tuesday, January 12, 2010 afternoon, knocked down buildings and inflicted destruction and casualties. About 3 million people -- one-third of Haiti's population -- were affected by the quake, the Red Cross estimated. About 10 million people felt shaking from the earthquake, including 2 million who felt severe trembling, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated. President Obama said the U.S. would have a "swift, coordinated and aggressive" response. "The reports and images that we've seen of collapsed hospitals, crumbled homes and men and women carrying their injured neighbors through the streets are truly heart-wrenching," Obama said. A second earthquake hit Haiti today. Officials fear more than 200,000 people have died.
Musician Wyclef Jean, who is from Haiti and started the Yele Haiti Foundation in 2005 to provide scholarships to disadvantaged youth in Haiti, is asking for everyone to donate what they can to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund. For more info, visit www.yele.org. You can also make and automatic $5 donation by texting the word "yele" to the number 501501. You can also make an automatic $10 donation to the Red Cross by texting "HAITI" to 90999 or visit www.redcross.org.

Vanity Fair puts Tiger in his "Black" place!
Tiger Woods gracesVanity Fair! But why this particular image? The photo, shot before the scandal by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz, is a rather interesting look for a man who always seemed to have this choir-boy, vanilla, color-blind image to the public eye. This picture, however, goes against Tiger's carefully crafted persona of a clean cut, racially ambiguous male. Here, he looks every bit the stereotypically menacing, highly sexual, predatory, Black man. Is it a coincidence on the part of Vanity Fair to select this image? Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words. And for most media professionals like myself, it is part of our job to present imagery that conveys a meaning or conjure up emotions. This is how the media manipulates your view of a certain person or situation as well as, to a large extent, how magazines, products and services get sold. I emailed the original V.F. (L) cover to a friend of mine. He responded with his version (R) of their cover and said, "They went to far!" So, is it a subliminal message behind V.F.'s cover? Hmmm...like, O.J. Simpson, once you fall out of favor, you become what many usually perceive...what they fear the most. For the full V.F. article on Tiger Woods, click here!

ABC News Report: Why are 42% of Black women not married?
“For millions of black women, many blessed with brains and beauty, finding the right man is proven elusive. But why?! Are their standards to high or are the pickings to slim?”
When I first heard of this, I thought, "Good Grief! Here we go again. What are they going to say different than what hasn't already been said." But after watching this clip, I was rather intrigued yet baffled. The women interviewed mentioned honesty, supportive, financial stability and chemistry as their requirements. That's not asking too much. However, based on the statistics, the pickings are slim. According to ABC, there are 1.8 million more Black women than Black men. So if every Black man married a Black woman, 1 out of 12 still wouldn't make it down the aisle. Seems quite bleak, right?! Comedian, radio personality & author Steve Harvey advises single women to date older men. Well, that may be an option for some women. Now for others, it may offer a whole other issue that perhaps certain younger men can...shall I say tackle?! I'm just saying! LOL! So, given the situation, should Black women settle? Would you?

Actor/Activist Danny Glover is said to be disappointed of President Obama's job performance. When interviewed by American Urban Radio Networks, Obama responded to Glover's complaint, "If you want me to line up all the black actors, for example, who support me and put them on one side of the room and a couple who are grumbling on the other, I'm happy to have that," Obama said. Also, several black legislators say Obama must do more for recession-stricken minorities. Some 15.6% of blacks nationwide are out of work, compared with the overall 10% unemployment rate. "The only thing I cannot do is, by law, I cannot pass laws that say 'I'm just helping black folks.' I'm the President of the entire United States," Obama said. "What I can do is make sure that I am passing laws that help all people, particularly those who are most vulnerable and most in need."

I Want Her Hair!
Rihanna's colored tresses are one of the most requested hues! So I asked one of NYC's hottest stylists, Rod Horton, to describe this sexy color, which he predicted as a hot trend to us months ago! "Amber, like the jewel, is a natural color that can deepen blondes with a golden tone without being too brassy," explains Horton. "And at the same time give richness to brunettes with a warm reddish/chestnut tone."
What is the best and safest way to achieve Rihanna's amber hair color? According to Horton, when working with chemically relaxed or straightened hair it's best not to use a high volume peroxide. You can safely lift relaxed hair 2 to 3 shades lighter without compromising the integrity of the hair. If your hair is a medium brown naturally, you can pre-lighten it using 20 or 30 volume peroxide then tone your hair to a golden amber shade with 10 volume or even safer way with a deposit only demi-permanent color that is enriched with conditioners. With natural hair you can be a little more aggressive with using a higher volume peroxide and lightener, i.e. 40 volume, to achieve desired shades. It is best to follow up with a deep moisturizing conditioner to keep the hair from drying out and becoming brittle. For more advice email rodhortonnyc@aol.com.

Brad & Angelina headed for splitsville?! According to a new tell all book out tomorrow, Brangelina: The Untold Story of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie by Ian Halperin, the two will break up within 2 years. The author told the NY Post that according to various sources the famous pair argue like cats and dogs on everything from politics, what their kids wear and Brad's allege marijana & alcohol habit. The book also claims that sex brought them together and was the best sex Brad ever had! Supposedly, they would sometimes spend 18 to 20 hours in bed a day! Plus, Halperin reveals that Jolie is a master manipulator who started the rumor that Brad's ex-wife Jennifer Aniston, (who he allegedly left for Jolie), did not want children and wanted to focus on her career. His book claims that Jolie started the rumor to make herself look better in the public eye. Damn...this hot mess is like one of those Lifetime movies!
Tippi Shorter, Pantene Celebrity Stylist, styled Alicia Key's tresses for the American Music Awards. Here's how Tippi gave Alicia her red carpet 'do:
Alicia recently got her hair colored a few shades lighter with Clairol, so Tippi
started off by washing her hair with the Pantene Pro-V Color Revival Shampoo & Conditioner to keep her color looking healthy and vibrant for the camera. Since Alicia performed twice on stage on top of walking the red carpet, Tippi came up with a fun updo that transformed effortlessly throughout the night. Alicia has always been well known for her braids, so Tippi decided to incorporate a creative twist that involved light, romantic braiding. After Alicia's hair was washed, Tippi sprayed the Pantene Pro-V Detangling Light Conditioning Spray to condition and protect her hair before heat styling. The detangler helped smooth her hair while Tippi blow-dried with a Mason Pearson brush. Tippi wanted to recreate the backward Mohawk braid that she did for Alicia's most recent music video, so she sectioned the hair into three sections, front to back. Then, she gathered the two outermost sections and secured the in ponytail using Ojon Animated Styling Cream. With the center section, Tippi started a braid from the nape all the way to the front, making it a little off center. She tucked the end of the braid underneath the main braid and secured with bobby pins. To finish the look with strong hold, Tippi used Ojon Tunu Elastik Hairspray and Bed Head Headrush Shine Spray.

His Side: From a male point of view!
Why does it seem that men don't listen! Every time my boyfriend and I get into an argument, it appears like he doesn't hear one word I say. For example, I say, "Your son should pick up after himself." He says, "So you saying my son is a slob?" Huh?! I didn't say that! Help!
What we need to take a look at is how you are delivering your point. Are you expressing yourself in a manner that is receptive or are you in attack mode? You have to be honest with yourself. No man likes to be “talked at”. I’m assuming your delivery was hostile because you said, “Every time my boyfriend and I get into an argument…” No one listens in an argument, that’s why it’s called…well …an argument. If you were listening to one another it would have been a discussion. I’ve had my fair share of arguments with past girlfriends and now even my wife; and the one thing that will make me shut down faster than anything else is a woman with a sharp tongue (and we all know how you all can get). I’m a firm believer in respecting women and when I’m feeling disrespected it's difficult, if not impossible, to really process what’s being said constructively. It appears that your boyfriend felt disrespected, that’s why he interpreted what you said about his son as being disrespectful. My suggestion in this case is to be mindful of your delivery. Use your womanly seductive superpowers and make him feel like a king, you’ll get better results. The only thing good about an argument is the makeup sex (smile/wink).
To be fair, I’ll also address this from the point of view that you did deliver your message in a calm and receptive manner. Assuming this is the case, your man needs to sharpen his listening skills big time. But until that happens, you have to be aware of his character defect and find a way to work around it. The beauty of doing this is that it will help you build your own communication skills. Try bringing up your issues when you know he’s in a good mood, like right after sex when he’s relaxed and his guard is down because you just hit him off lovely. It works for my wife every time.

Halle has always been revered for her beauty. And although looking good is one component, it is not the end all. Simply put, the way you deal with a man, they way you present yourself, your attitude towards sex & life are the keys to maintaining a guy's attention. For example...
...keep up your appearance. But don't just look HOT, feel HOT...be HOT. Believe in your beauty!
...be nice, respectful & charming, BUT let 'em know you're no weak chick either!
...try to see it from his point of view before you shoot off at the mouth about your feelings. Remember, someone has to listen.
...make his and/or your bedroom a den of different pleasures.
...live, love & laugh with no regrets.
Fun sex facts!
Did you know...
...that Peyronie's Disease is a condition in which a man's penis curves? And a curve that swings to the left or right is bad?! Not from my experience! LOL!
...folks who have sex (masturbation included) 3 times a week are viewed as looking 5 to 6 years younger.
...meditating can help improve your arousal and get better orgasms.
...supposedly computer nerds make the best lovers because these IT geeks claim they put their partners pleasure above their own. I once dated an computer whiz and let's just say he was one of my most inventive & generous lovers.
...eye contact increases sexual attraction.
Ladies, how many times has a guy said something slick to you? I'm sure quite a bit. But what if you flipped the script and gave him a taste of his own bullsh*t? A couple of guys tried to talk mess to my friend and I at my apartment warming last Friday night. Funny, how certain dudes try to be cute then choke when a woman calls their bluff. LOL! It's just another day in the life of Hot Chicks! Check out how these fellas wimp out in the latest Hot Chick Chronicles:
AT THE DINING TABLE...
Dude:Can I feed you this shrimp?
My friend:Sure. Push it down my throat.
D:Huh? [Blank stare. Then dude turned around and ate the shrimp.]
M. F.:Oh my God! You punked out! You should have never done that!
AND AS I WAS TRYING TO PASS TWO GUYS...
Me: Hey cuties. Can I slip between you too?
Dudes: Of course, but can you handle both of us? LOL!
M: Baby, I do have two hands and a few other suction devices. So the better question is can you handle it?
D: [Blank stare & silence.]
M: [Wink and smile as I sashay away.]
Ever felt like..."Damn, when is it gonna pop off for me?"
I understand Hottie. I know just how you feel. Real talk...there was a time...awww hell...a few times where I repeatedly posed the questions "When?" and "Why?". Honey, I drove myself crazy looking at and admiring everyone else's success while secretly craving my turn. But then a funny thing happened. When I stopped and just focused on each moment of the journey and truly enjoyed each day whether it was good or bad, my blessings started strolling in then pouring in. Hell, I remember a friend of mine was so down because she didn't have the funds to do the things she wanted to do. Then, after a few smiles and laughter to take her mind off her troubles, funds that she worked hard for and did not expect to come for at least a month, appeared in her bank account. So instead of reveling in what you don't have or where you'd like to be, live in the moment and enjoy the ride. Remember, it's the things we create along the way that'll make the destination well worth the wait!
How often do you smile honey?
I know sometimes life throws you a curve that shakes your world. But, what is a ride without a bump or two. Yes, I know you want it smooth, but it's simply not reality. Hey, obstacles present itself to remind us to stay on our game. So when you feel lost of low, remember, everything's alright when you smile.
No other love can light your life but you.
Welcome back to the latest adventure of a Hot Chick. In this week's episode of the Hot Chick Chronicles, a friend revels that she's dating a much younger dude!
Jen: Hey Girl.
Alanna: Hey Beauty!
Jen: Girl, I've been bit by the boy toy bug!
Alanna: Oh yeah...
Jen: Yes! I am in lust! But girl, he's a little young.
Alanna: How young?
Jen: Well...
Alanna: Oh Lord! Please tell me he's at least seen the inside of a female's sugar walls! LOL!
Jen: Girl, I ain't trying to rob the craddle. Just borrow from the playground for a time or two...
Alanna: LOL! You're a Hot mess!
Jen: LOL! Yes I am! But my sugar walls are singing!
This past weekend was definitely one for the books, especially for an upcoming edition of HOT Chick Chronicles! Stay tuned! But in the meantime, ever have those "Oooh Wee" moments followed by a "I'm just saying"? Well, here are a few that stood out from this past weekend. Hey, I'm just saying...
1. Men should pay attention to their posture. Don't twitter your toes and fondle your balls at the same time. 'Nuff said.
2. Lace-front wigs are not meant for everybody! Let me repeat...lace-front wigs are not for everybody!
3. If everyone is looking at you like something ain't right, then damn it, something ain't right with YOU! It ain't THEM, baby! Own up to your crazy sh*t!
4. Don't go to someone's home and drink up all THEIR booze!
5. Ladies, don't go all weekend without combing your weave. 'Cuz the detangling will be a bitch!
6. Men, do not tell a woman whom you just met as she's dancing behind you, "This feels like jail." WTF!
Do you know your worth? Do you even believe in your worth?"
For some reason, many of us seem to seek confirmation on our intelligence, talents, attractiveness, style, etc from other people. Then, turn around and do things that harm ourselves. Why? Why do we give a damn? The answer might be simple but to change your thoughts doesn't have to be. We put far too much emphasis on folk's opinions, too much time and mind space on someone's judgment.
Simply put, you are exactly as you believe. So don't think you are. Know you are!
It's another day in the life of Hot Chicks and my friend has called me with yet another crazy situation. Check out the latest exploits in theHot Chick Chronicles:
Friend:Hey Girl!
Me:Hey Beauty! What's up?
F:I had a "L Word" meets "Sex and the City" time last night!
M:What?!
F: Girl! After inviting a few friends over to my house for drinks, I woke up with a tongue in my vagina...
M:WTH?! Are you serious? LOL!
F: Girl yes! Some chick's tongue at that!
M: LOL! What?! Who? What's her name?
F: Ahhh...hmmm...
M:You don't even remember her name?!
F: Maybe Lonnie, Liz, Lisa...ahhh hell...
M: LOL! Lord chile! Guess she didn't make much of an impression...
In the last month or so, gorgeous 40+ Hot Chicks Halle Berry, Garcelle Beauvais & Stacey Dash have all split from their Caucasian mates.
Is it something in the water?
Maybe...maybe not. Perhaps it's just a coincidence. Hey, some of you are even wondering "how come these beauties cannot hang on to their men?" The notion was posed to me yesterday that perhaps it's because they're too pretty. Another said to me that for every beautiful woman there's a man that's tired of her.
But, what if either party chooses not to settle when they're no longer happy? I remember a Black woman once said to me that she now only dates White men because they treat her better. Do they? From my experience, one has absolutely nothing to do with the other. It is based on the individual not his color. Case in point, Halle's Black ex-hubby Eric Benet cheated on her as Garcelle's White hubby did. Now what?
Furthermore, beauty does not stop a man from cheating on a woman or deciding to leave her. His sense of real love does. Besides at the end of the day, we have to do what we can in this life to be happy...that's the true beauty darling! Live Pretty!
Do you know how to work your sex appeal?
"Sex appeal is fifty percent what you've got and fifty percent what people think you've got."- Sophia Loren
HOT! Singer Keri Hilson showing one of her best assets for Flaunt Magazine. And no, it isn't her cleavage (although nice) but in Keri's confidence - her knowing that she's sexy and her comfort in letting you know it!
I know some of you are thinking, "Yeah, I know how to work mine." But do you really? It's more than just physical attractiveness or to state it more bluntly - tits and a$$, honey. Simply put, it's an inner strength, a certain fearlessness in the belief of your own hotness and comfort with your body and self. Age, size, shape, complexion, hair length or texture is of no relevance. Makeup, hair style, clothes, shoes and jewelry are mere enhancements that suggest you know what you're working with. The other component is how you convey it. I'm talking about your body language baby - how you cast your eyes upon someone; how you feel, speak, walk, sit, stand, gesture and move. Once you've mastered that and you can make anyone feel like they're the only person in the world, then my dear you are truly working your sex appeal.
Many of you are complaining that men don't know how to treat us. But, do we know how to treat ourselves? Just ask yourself...
1. Do I act as if I know my worth?
2. Do I nurture my mind, body & soul?
3. Do I seek validation from people on my sense of worth & beauty?
4. Am I truly happy with myself?
5. Do I keep making bad decisions?
6. Do I keep choosing the same type of man?
7. Do I get involved with men who treat women like disposable objects?
8. Do act with grace, poise, maturity and humility?
I can go on and on, but you get the idea or do you? I'm just saying!
Why are females still fighting each other over a man?
WTH! Just heard from a friend of mine that his niece got into a fight with a girl over her boyfriend! Dig this. The niece, (let's call her Sally) and her boyfriend (Don) coming home from his birthday celebration, were confronted in the lobby of Don's apartment by some girl (Beth) at 2am. The girls exchanged words then Don stepped between them and asked Sally to "go upstairs". She reluctantly did as he requested. But, after a certain period of wondering what her man was doing, Sally went back downstairs to see what was going on. When she saw Don and Beth talking and Beth noticed her, the girls immediately started arguing then Sally punched her. They fight. Cops were called and everyone was arrested. Now here's what gets me! One, why would you wait in the lobby for a man to get home at 2am in the morning no less? Do you not have a life? Two, why argue and/or fight with another female over ANY guy? And more importantly, shouldn't they blame the dude? Apparently he wasn't truthful with either of them. Ladies, why don't you know your worth? I'm just saying!
Why don't you...
...allow yourself to escape, if only for a few moments because we often lose ourselves in the chaos of work, home and family.
...smile. It attracts a lot more than a frown.
...make bath time a decadent experience! Honeycat Chocolate Bath Melts are the cat’s meow, offering up the elixir of chocolate without the guilt! Just drop one in the tub for the purrrfect bath time treat! $16, www.honeycatcosmetics.com
...stop acting out of fear. One of the most destructive things you can do in any relationship is let your FEARS take over and start causing you to say and do things that push people away. And most women fail to realize it when their own fears are "running the show".
Why do we hurt ourselves when a relationship ends?
Can we talk for a minute? The other day I read that model & actress Noemie Lenoir, attempted to end her life after her ex-boyfriend and 5-year old son's father ended their relationship and any hopes of an reconciliation. She was also scared of getting older and of being alone. So, Lenoir, 30, allegedly attempted the suicide at her ex's house, but fled and was found unconscious in a forest. Damn!
Ever went through a tough breakup? You can't sleep, think or eat? You close your eyes and see his face? You lie awake at night longing for his touch...his sweet embrace? Ever glanced at your phone hoping that he would call saying he was wrong? Isn't it funny how much your heart cannot erase? Then there are those moments where you worry about getting older and that you'll be alone? Fear is a muthaf*cker ain't it? Especially when death is an option.
Baby, I know it hurts. I know you're afraid. I know that for those folks who told you that he was not good enough or not right, you wish that they could've seen you guys together to see the beauty. But you know what? There's no beauty in despair. No beauty in wanting a person who does not want you. No beauty in waiting for someone to do what you want them to do. No beauty in drowning in disappointment. No beauty in living in fear. So instead of selecting to wallow in the pain, choose to look at your reflection, even through tear-stained eyes, and see that you are a goddess, a pretty hot chick and worth more than allowing yourself to succumb to the weight of a broken heart. Hey, you're not the first to suffer love's harsh blow and you certainly won't be the last. Many of us have made it through and so will you. Hey, STILL we rise...and...love again!
Live Pretty!
Before I give him another chance or give myself to yet another lover, I ask myself..."Is it just the lonely taking again?"
Most if not all of us can feel this. Think about it. You're constantly feuding with him, or you guys aren't talking just remaining silent to avoid any potential confrontation or truth. You're not happy but instead of letting go you stay. Then there are those of us who have spent time under another man when it was truly best to be by ourselves. Hey, Sandra Bullock, who was blindsided and embarrassed by her soon-to-be ex-hubby's cheating decided to move on and focus on herself as well as her precious little adopted son. And Halle Berry chose to also focus on self, has been out enjoying life with friends as well as her adorable daughter. Simply put, the best revenge to any breakup is to live, laugh & love...in HOT Chick style of course! LOL!
Are you having great sex? Or, what is great sex to you?
I used to think that I loved sex, but what I realized was that I loved pleasure...and sex happens to be one of my favorite indulgences.
It is not sex that gives the pleasure, but the lover.
~Marge Piercy
Ever wished that you could stay, but couldn't because staying confuses you more?
Once upon a time, I struggled with trying to work out a relationship or leaving it the hell alone. I couldn't stand him, yet I loved him. Wanted my freedom, but didn't necessarily want to let go. Craved his touch, but forced myself to turn away. Boy was I going through some changes. Just could not decide - even for peace of mind's sake. Until one day, as I gazed at my reflection through tears, I asked, "is this the way you love me?"
"Courage is the power to let go of the familiar."- Raymond Lindquist

Why Can't A Successful Black Woman Find A Man?!
Wasn't this topic covered already?! Oh well...
The other night, ABC's "Nightline" featured a panel discussion on "Why Can’t A Success Black Woman Find A Man” that included celebrity guests Steve Harvey, Sherri Shepherd, Hil Harper & Jacque Reid. Was there anything new? No. Was it entertaining? Yes. Can a successful Black woman find a man? Ab-so-freaking-lutely!
How often do you turn the other cheek and walk away from an argument?
Honey, until rather recently, I would stand toe-to-toe and battle with men I was involved with about their thoughts - which is funny, considering I'd be the 1st to say to my friends, "You can't argue anyone's belief." LOL! But after one too many sleepless nights, a little too much wine, a bad headache and looking in the mirror and not liking the stress on the woman's face staring back at me, I said, "To hell with this! My spirit & beauty mean far too much to me than arguing with someone over a point a view." Simply put, people are going to think whatever they want to think. So before you enter into any argument, ask yourself, "What exactly is this battle about & is it worth my mind, time, body & soul?" Hey, at the end of the day, we're either going to agree or disagree.
To the left Shorty! Love how Pretty Hot Chick Halle's cropped do accentuates her lovely profile.
"What is your definition of a Pretty Hot Chick?"
Recently, I got to hang out with a few of my favorite Hot Chicks as they hosted SoftSheen-Carson's Roots of Nature Presents "Picture of Strength" event in Harlem, NYC - where generations of women came together for a festive day of free family portraits, hairstyling & mini makeovers. So after my hotties, Sherri Shepherd, Michelle Williams & Angela Guy mingled with the crowd, I chatted with each of them on what are the roots & strength of a "Pretty Hot Chick":
"Someone who knows her purpose....Laughs alot and smiles alot." - Sherri Shepherd, Co-host of ABC's "The View"
"Being proud of who you are. When you're happy inside, it illuminates on the outside..." - Angela Guy, SVP & General Manager, SoftSheen-Carson
"Intelligent. Gotta have something in her head! And acknowledges that I need to do better..." - Michelle Williams, former member of Destiny's Child & currently starring on Broadway in "Chicago".
Pretty Hot Chicks strike a pose! Left to right: Sherri Shepherd in Report Signature heels, Angela Guy & Michelle Williams in Suecomma Bonnie heels.
Got a Sex Roadblock?
No problem! The Pretty Hot Chick has your back!
4 sex glitches that can be fixed before you lose the mood!
1. Feeling a little anxiety...Honey, the more you worry about your performance, the worse you'll do. So stop thinking you have to be a porn star. Just enjoy the encounter.
2. Your vibrator's battery is dead...You might be shocked at what I'm about to say, but you'll be alright. Use the base of your cell phone or electric toothbrush. Hey, they do vibrate. I'm just saying! Wash it before & after, of course.
3. Out of lube...If you're using a condom, mix your saliva with a tablespoon of water. Then swish it around in your mouth. If you're not using a condom, apply a plant-based oil like olive or almond. No, it won't irritate your skin but it is a little slippery.
4. Dude keeps slipping out...Well put it back in & resume the action! If that doesn't work, he's either a bit too small or thrusting too fast. So to prevent the "fall out", have sex in positions that allow super deep penetration, like doggie-style or missionary with your legs up on his shoulders.
The Hot Chick Chronicles!
It's another day in the head of Hot Chicks and my friend has called me with yet another issue, her sexual appetite. Check out the latest in the Hot Chick Chronicles:
Friend:Girl, guess what?
Me:What's up?
F:Dude mad at me?
M:For what? What did you do?
F:I wanted to get my rocks off again and he was tired after the first round so I grabbed my vibrator and handled my business so that I could...
M:Cum again?! LOL!
F: Exactly! LOL!
M: Well, you know some men aren't comfortable with that...they feel like they're not satisfying...
F:It wasn't that I was necessarily dissatisfied, just wanted more.
M:I know, but like I told my ex once...
M&F: He'll be alright! LOL!
What are your standards?
Yesterday a man asked me, "What are you looking for in a man?" I replied, "I'm not looking for anything except for him to be exactly who he is. Then, I'll decide what I can accept or not."
What are standards and lists anyway except a dream concoction of a mate. Think about it. You wish for tall, handsome, intelligent, wealthy, generous, spontaneous, beautiful body, excellent credit, strong, stylish, romantic, big d*@k (let's keep it real) insatiable mind-blowing tongue, incredible sexual stamina, good listener, nice, loyal, no kids, great sense of humor and you get sweet, tall, attractive, smart, irritable, a little gut, financially ok yet broke from time to time, fair credit, fashionably challenged, super sensitive, funny at times, 1 child, defensive, average d*@k, somewhat talented tongue, a little sexual stamina, but treats you like a queen. Now what?
Recently, Jesse James' allege mistress Michelle "Bombshell" McGee publicly apologized to James' wife Sandra Bullock via an Australian television show. "I feel bad for Sandra," the heavily tattooed model and stripper said. "I want to give her a heartfelt apology. Sandra, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for your embarrassment. I'm sorry all of this is public."
Would you confront the woman your husband/boyfriend cheated with? If you were the other woman, would you apologize to your lover's wife/girlfriend?
I had this conversation with a few women the other day and a couple of the answers startled me. One chick said that she would confront the "little ho" and "knock the sh*t" out of her if she said something slick. Another said that "hell no" she wouldn't apologize to her lover's girlfriend or wife because it was "not her responsibility". Damn, and I used to wonder why some females were so catty. LOL! But seriously, why resort to calling another chick names and confronting her when the issue is with your man and the commitment he made to you? I'm just saying! And any chick who acknowleges the feelings of another chick whether she knew dude had a girl or not, shows she has some level of maturity or a wicked mind game. Either way ladies, maintaining one's cool and getting on with your life is the best revenge. Say it with me now...I'm-just-saying!
Why Don't You...
...try to let nothing distress you and take everything that happens as for the best.
...be friendly to all.
...indulge in your favorite dessert like chocolate or a cupcake.
...tell your favorite Hot Chick they're HOT!
...be unafraid of the little word "no".
A person's station in life is determined by their self-faith & self-confidence.
How to Think Like a Hot Chick!
Hot chicks are not born, they're created! They nurture their special brand of hotness and do not allow negativity, low self-esteem, and/or someone's opinion take up valuable space in their minds. Why? Because that's what they choose darling! Hot chicks are focused on their happiness. They live as they believe and there is no difference between what they think and do. So if you want to be more desirable or you yearn for something different, start with your thoughts - which leads to your action then becomes your lifestyle. Now, take a deep breath and first contemplate yourself in the image you want to exude and in the environment you desire.
Okay...ACTION!
When will some chicks take responsibility for their damn actions!
Another woman who claims to have had sex with Tiger Woods says she feels "used and violated", according to the NATIONAL ENQUIRER. The tabloid is reporting that Tiger's 15th, 16th...ahh hell...I lost count...alleged lover & neighbor Raychel Coudriet, 22, who first met Tiger when she was 14, claims their one night stand left her "shaken & humiliated" and "like I meant nothing to him but a night of casual sex." She even goes on to say that a crib that was next to the couch where she and the golfer got it on, made her feel "guilty that she was having sex with a married man with children". But that didn't stop the then 21year-old from having an hours long sex marathon with the dude! Chick please! Simply put, you knew he was married and you chose to give it up to him anyway. Now you want to cry foul! Girl, grow up!
Stop blaming someone else for the choices you make.
Ever feel less than "pretty"? Ever feel just "blah"? Honey, I can relate! Hot Chicks have their "less than" moments, but the trick is flipping that little LSE (low self-esteem) moment into a pretty thought. Then, of course adding a great bronzer, mascara, lipgloss & a sexy scent. Plus, a hip swaying stride doesn't hurt... in cute shoes, of course! Ahhh...the power of femininity. I'm just saying!
"I will not think negatively. I do not believe in my last thought. I am starting over. I am thinking something pretty right now."
WTH?!Why do some people feel the world revolves around them?
I know of an unemployed 34 year-old girl who disrespects her father and his girlfriend every chance she gets simply because she feels she can! Did I mention she has a toddler that THEY care for while she disappears for months on end, chasing her next drug fix! Then, comes home (pays not 1 bill, mind you) acting like a queen, running off at the mouth as if folks owe her something. WTF! Ever gotten into an argument with someone who swore up and down that you were the sole problem and turned a blind eye to their role in your disagreement? People just can't stand the stench of their own sh*t. I'm just saying!
"People often tell you who they are. So it's up to you to stop excusing/ignoring or hearing what you want to hear & start heeding their words & actions."
Ladies, one question - do you love being a woman? No really, DO YOU LOVE BEING A WOMAN?
Consider this. If you take pleasure in every aspect of your womanliness and enter any room with a smile at the thought of the exquisite jewel that rest between your ears and legs, then honey...you'll start to realize your power. Hey, you are who you think you are!
"I will drown out my stresses while I frolic in a scented bubble bath with a pinch of vanilla and cinnamon essential oils, a touch of honey and a dash of milk, as I sip a glass of champagne and make exquisite love to my deserving body."
Going through a breakup? Honey, I understand, but not to worry. I can go on and on about emotions, blah, blah, blah...the whole sad song. But Honey, it's as simple as this: 2 tears in a bucket, mother-f*@k it! Get the stepping! Life is too short to mope around going down memory lane. Besides, why waste your time and beauty (sleepless nights, ranting to friends, eating any and everything, etc) on what used to be? I'm just saying!
"When you stop looking, you start living."
Dirty Girl Sexy Heels by Samantha Smith
Why don't you...
...try a fab masacra like Tarte MultiplEye Natural Lash Enhancing Mascara for extra lengthy eyelashes.
...do things in the nude like stand in front of a mirror & do your best booty shake.
...slip into a pair of red heels & you're sexiest bra and panties and practice your Hot Chick strut.
"A truly self-assured Hot Chick has oodles of body pride & is never shy about highlighting her assets !"
Hot Chick & bombshell Gabrielle Union Twittered pics of herself looking glam before hitting the "Jimmy Kimmel Show" and finally admitting what we already know...she & Dwayne Wade are a couple. She told Jimmy how she broke the news of her on-screen love scenes with her “Flash Foward” co-star John Cho to her boyfriend Dwayne Wade. “I was like, come visit my set. I go to your work, you should come to my work. He was like ‘This is awes-wait you’re kissing him a lot?” Ladies, a bombshell knows when to open up or simply dish at just the right moment...like to promote her project to keep folks interested in her. I'm just saying!
Left to right: Me, Deja Mills, Iman Dean, Alicia Smith & Eric Andre Johnson yesterday at Taj Lounge in NYC for Soul Series Sundays.
Just coming off an interesting weekend. Got some work done, hung out with great people, made some potential business connections & had a great brunch...all in fabulush heels of course! LOL! Plus, I'm digging the yellow top I wore yesterday that my mom suggested I get a month or so ago. Guess, I'll have to get a couple more. Yellow is such a vibrant, happy hue! Didn't think it would work on me at first, but mom was right! Thanks momma! I'm also loving the long necklaces I'm seeing on women lately. Hmmm..it's going to be such a pretty spring!
Hey what can I say, my mood is rather "sunny" today even though it's a bit cloudy outside. So whatever "cloud" you're experiencing, don't let it damper your mood. Find your sun even if it's with friends, good food or a cute top, jewels & of course banging shoes!
"Style is how I decide to speak to the world."
Honey, what were you thinking?!
After having a terrific time at my first Pretty Hot Chick Luncheon recently with some of the most fabulous women including glam gal/author Erika Kendrick and the lovely Black Dolls of the Black Doll Affair, I was sick to hear about girls fighting over some dude, then a girl stabbing one girl and slashing the face of another. WTF! Many moons ago, when I was a junior in high school, some random girl confronted me about an outfit (biker shorts) I wore in our school's talent show. This trick, (Yes, TRICK! Some of ya'll might be upset at my word usage, but you'll be alright because anytime you let the actions of another person lead you to do something stupid then you're a trick. Hey, if the shoe fits...!) Anywho...when our principal asked the girl why she confronted me, the chick said through sobs, "because she looked like a ho and my boyfriend kept staring at her". Then the principal responded, "So you're going to start a fight with a girl because of what she wore and of what your boyfriend did?! Girl, you ain't got no good sense!" My sentiments exactly.
"When I'm having an evil LSE (low self esteem) moment, I swat it away quickly like an annoying little fly."
Real or Rumor?!
Essence magazine folding? Rumor has it that the beloved publication is in trouble. One, last November, there were many layoffs. Two, a press release went out yesterday announcing the retirement of Beauty & Cover Director Mikki Taylor, who’s been at Essence for 30 years. Plus, 6 more people “left” just last week. As a former publisher, I know all too well the stresses of running a magazine. I hope this is just a rumor or that they pull through and flourish. Good Luck!

Having a problem reaching an orgasm?
1. Focus simply on feeling the sensations of the stimulation. If it doesn't feel good, tell your lover what would.
2. During sex, contract your vaginal muscles. Yes, the same you squeeze to stop the flow of urine midstream (Kegel exercise). This helps increases blood flow to the genital area.
3. If you're still having difficulty reaching orgasm, there are over-the counter creams, lotions & gels such as Feminine Arousal Gel $12.95 & Nympho's Desire $9.95 (available at www.adameve.com) that can increase senstivity and help you reach the big O. Another option is to stimulate your clitoritis with toys like Basix Jelly Egg Vibrator $14.95 or Fingo's Nubby Finger Vibrator while your lover is penetrating you. If you're still having not achieving an orgasm, see your doctor. It may be a medical condition or a side effect from a medication.
"Great sex starts with me."
What are the advantages of getting involved with a married man besides money & possibly good sex?
Ok, some of you may not like what I'm going to say, but you'll be alright. Now, can someone tell me the advantages of getting involved with a married man besides money & possibly good sex? I am not one to judge. Lord knows I've been tempted a time or two. Hey, they were so damn delicious-looking with that sexy-ass swagger...umph, umph, umph...I'm just saying! LOL! Anyway, unless he and wifey have an open marriage and you're cool with being #2, then by all means do you! But, if you want him all to yourself, then what are you going to do? Wait? Have a child and hope that he leaves his wife and marry you? Now for those that just want to have some fun and pay a couple of bills, I ain't mad at you. But how would you feel if it were your husband or boyfriend? Again, I'm not judging. It's your life and you're going to do what you want to do. I guess the thing that gets me scratching me head are the women who say, "He loves me" or "He's in love with me". Well, if he loves you, then why isn't he really with you? And I don't mean spending a morning here and there or a couple afternoons or evenings. I'm saying he has his own place and you're truly together. Could it be that he's just not that into you except for what he can get from and away with you?
"People only do what you allow them to do."
Oh Johnny boy! Rielle Hunter revels the details to GQ of her affair with disgraced politician John Edwards that produced a child! Hunter even goes on to say that John's cancer-stricken wife Elizabeth who left him over the steamy union is "supportive of her talking now". Wow, wouldn't it be interesting if John & Rielle did end up getting married?
It's about time!
The Game is back! Word is BET is very close to sealing a deal and that shooting for the beloved TV series is scheduled to start this May! Still don't get why CW cancelled the show. But I guess CW's loss is Black Entertainment Television's gain!
Things that make you go...WTH!
Maybe I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning or maybe its just that time of month. In any case, a few things that made me go "WTH?!" instead of "hmmm..".
- Why do some folks make a bad decision and get mad when you don't agree with their bad decision?
- Why do certain parents think its cool or cute for their kid (10, 11 or 12 year olds) to speak to adults like they are one? Then when an adult responds to he/she in an adult manner, the parent says, "He's just a kid!" Ya think! Duh!
- Why does it still take us a minute to get that he/she can't say or do what we think they should do because quite simply they have their own thoughts as to how or what they will & won't do! I'm just saying.
"People do according to their understanding."
WTH! Shock jock Howard Stern and his former plus-size African American female sidekick Robin Quivers have jumped on the bandwagon blasting Gabby Sidibe...for what else...her weight.(Listen to it here.) Both mouthpieces said that "she'll never get another job", that "Oprah lied to her [Gabby] about having a career after 'Precious' and Robin even went on to add, "Look in that room. Who else do you look like? Those are the people who work all the time." WTF! What these folks are saying limits the dreams, achievements and capabilities of anyone who dares to reach for the sky. If we, be it short, tall, Black, Hispanic, Asian, woman, gay, poor, etc., lived in that negative mind-set, none of us would be where we are today...unafraid to think, be, do or go anywhere regardless of some standard or what society dictates. So cheers my beautiful full-figured, chocolate-coated sister Gabby!
Don't stop believing!
I am not allowing other people's criticisms or opinions of me set the standard for who or what I am nor what I can and will become.
WTH! Heard that 6 New Jersey women were hospitalized after having Black Market booty injections! (Yes, you read me right!)
According to published reports, the medical grade silicone that's used to enhance the tush was actually a compound closer to the silicone found in bathtub caulking. Can you say "Ouch!"
Although the women are ok, guess they'll be the "butt" of many jokes. I'm just saying! LOL!
I may get bruised, but I'm never broken.
Why not...
...make a Spring Resolution - to get rid of anyone or anything that does not inspire you to smile.
...rely on your own "handy work" when your mate is too busy or tired. Hey, don't get mad, get a orgasm!
...eat more vegetables and fruit.
My life is not determined by what happens to me but by the attitude I bring to life.
Wyclef Jean & Zakiya Khatou-Chevassus
Wyclef Jean allegedly paid his rumored mistress $105,000 through his Haiti charity!
I'm sure you've heard or read about musician Wyclef Jean allegedly paying his rumored mistress Zakiya Khatou-Chevassus $105,000 through his Haiti charity, Yele. Now the interesting thing is how the media is painting this like it's a sordid, steamy tale of sex, lies & money. But the fact is regardless of their "relationship", Khatou-Chevassus did work for the married former Fugees star whether it be as his personal assistant, an independent contractor or Yele's vice president. Besides if she was Jean's lover, what difference does it make? She was paid for services rendered.
Chris Brown pleads for help from his fans!
Brown is fighting for his livelihood. He's asking for his fans to request his songs on the radio because some stations are not playing his music. "My singing and my music I do it for you guys and everything else but it won’t be possible if I’m not relevant on the radio and it wouldn’t be possible for me to be an artist if I don’t have any support from the people giving artists an outlet. I can’t be an underground mixtape artist. That’s where we are. I just want all my fans to help me...”
Check out Chris's voice message on sayitnow.com:
I will not take "no" to mean that I cannot fulfill my hopes & dreams. I just have to find another route.

Why?
The other night I had a dream that one of my business idols, Jay Z told me that a woman's appeal lies not only in her mind and appearance but also her mouth. Needless to say, that vision has been on my mind since - especially after my blogtalkradio show recently where 2 of my female guests seemed a bit...shall I say...beyond passionate about their experiences with men. Hey, we've all had a negative experience or two and Lord knows it is not the first nor the last. But, do we have to carry the memory of past hurt and disappointments in our voices? One of the strongest messages and biggest clues to who we really are is not in what we say, but how we say it.
"What you are speaks so loud, I cannot hear the words you say."
6 Little Things Every Hot Chick Knows About HER Sex!
1. Every woman has that one or special surefire climax-making position - what's yours?!
2. Ok, so your friend told you that she and her man have sex 3-4 times a week and you feel like, "Damn! Should I be doing more?" Forget that! She is not necessarily having more or better sex than you! There is no "normal" amount we should all aspire to and certainly no magic number of times per month that signifies your relationship is going well. There's only one question you need to answer: Are YOU having enough sex for YOU?
3. Don't be afraid to ask for what you want sexually. Asking for what you want is worth the embarrassment. But the better question is: Why are you embarrassed in the first place?!
4. Worrying about your orgasm is the best way to chase it away! When your thoughts are: "It's not happening ... when am I going to cum...what's wrong with me?" you're thinking, not feeling! FOCUS on the physical sensations!
5. Planned sex can be even better than spontaneous sex. Anticipation as foreplay. Think about it.
6. The way your vagina looks, is perfectly normal. So stop obsessing about it!
Ever wondered "why me?"
Yesterday was the day from hell! It was like Murphy's Law - everything that can go wrong did. There was one upset after another - computer got a virus, received some distressing news, then lost my temper with a friend. He's one of those real sensitive types that thinks everything is about him and if you don't conform to his way of thinking, you're the enemy. Yeah...uh huh...one of those! So with the bickering and obstacles, girlfriend was ready to throw in the towel and concede defeat! I even started to think that maybe my friend was right, maybe I do think too much of myself. WTH?! Wait a minute...why am I allowing his words and my worries rent valuable space in my mind? I know who I am, flaws and all! And honey, she's a strong, feminine, compassionate, powerful, funny, creative, smart hottie who will always think highly of herself...as she should! LOL! I'm a survivor. I'm gonna make it...I will not give up...LOL!
So the moral to my story: It is your thinking that makes you weak. Don't let anybody's opinion or any situation change your thoughts. You have a mind of your own - use it. Believe in your power & beauty!
HOT!
A star in the making!
Gabourey Sidibe 'Precious" audition.
"I've made you question who I am..." - Tiger Woods in his public apology.
Tiger Woods breaks his silence & apologizes for his "selfish behavior"!
Who Are You?
Tiger Woods gave a heartfelt apology for his past behavior and some folks are speaking ill about it as if they can't be accounted for anything. Yeah right! How many times have you lied? Ever promised your family member or friend that you'll come to their event sayin, "Yeah, I'm coming." Then turn right around and say, "I ain't going to that shit." How quick are you to turn a blind eye to your own errors but quick to point, judge and criticize someone else's flaws? How many of you attend your temple or church on Saturday or Sunday and say "You walk with the Jesus" or "have God in your life", then act evil if something or someone doesn't go your way? Or those of you that smile up in a person's face then speak badly about them behind their back? How many of you tend to hold everyone else, except for yourself, responsible for what you do? I guess it's easy to shift the blame and pretend to be something you're not, huh?
Yes, Tiger f*@ked up. He's HUMAN. People aren't perfect, not even, celebrities. So we do we expect them to be then crucify them when they're not? The measure of a man or woman isn't in their accomplishments or mistakes, but in their ability to take responsibility for their actions and get over whatever obstacles lie ahead of them.
So how are you handling your own mess? And if anyone knew, what would they say about you?
A Butt Ache! LOL!
Last night, I received a call from a good friend of mine who's always into something...literally...and needed a little...huh...assistance...
FRIEND: Hey Girl!
ME: Hey Baby! What's up?
F: Girl, I got a little issue.
M: What's wrong?
F: My butt hurts!
M: What?!
F: My ass hurts!
M: Come again?
F: That's the problem!
M: What the hell! LOL!
F: Don't laugh! LOL!
M: Girl, you are a mess! You couldn't tell dude to slow down. What happened to relaxing your muscles? LOL!
F: Girl I tried. But I thought I felt a little tingle and wanted to climax one more time. I'd read somewhere that some women can explode that way.
M: And now your butt feels like it's been through one hell of an explosion! LOL!
F: Right! Guess, I'll take it easy next time. But this ass is out of commission for a while.
M: Chile please! You'll put that butt on ice until he starts wetting it up again! LOL!
F: LOL! I know that's right! Ouch! Stop making me laugh. My butt is too sore!

Why do we care about someone's preferences?
I'm sure you've heard about the controversial comments musician John Mayer made to PLAYBOY magazine regarding him dating outside of his race. If not, scroll down and see for yourself. Were they insensitive? In bad taste? Politically incorrect? Sure! He has since apologized for his comments. Were they sincere? Perhaps. I believe so. But does that apology come as part of a strategy to keep from losing his fans? Of course! However, what is quite interesting is that some of these hip hop artists and rappers say in reference to Black women. For example, Kanye West was quoted as saying that “If it wasn’t for race mixing, there would be no video girls. Me and most of my friends like mutts a lot…yeah in the hood they call them mutts.” – Essence, 2006. As if the only video girls that exist are of mixed race or mulatto. Second, Yung Berg said, “I’m kinda racist…I don’t like dark butts…You know how some women prefer light skin men or dark skin men. It’s rare that I do dark butts – that’s what I call dark skinned women. Like really rare! It’s like, no darker than me. I love the pool test. If you can be like 'Yo, baby. I met you in the club. Let’s go back to my house and jump in the pool exactly like you are.' And you don’t come looking better wet than you were before you got in the pool then that’s not a good look. Any girls that use brown gel to lay down her baby hair is not poppin” – Lip Service Radio 2008.
Honestly speaking, I rather a person make it plain and tell me THEIR truth. This way, I know where they stand and decide how I choose to deal with them, if at all. Your personal preference, even if it sounds like it's coming from a monkey's ass, is your business. I could care less who John Mayer or anyone else chooses to date. My only concern is whom I CHOOSE to date.

4 Thoughts to Help You Snap Out of that Blah Mood and Get Your "Hotness" On!
Girl, I know just how you feel! Sometimes you just don't give a damn due to a bit of stress or those evil little LSE (low self-esteem) moments! We've all been there, trust & believe! But, it doesn't have to be because your state of mind begins and ends with your thoughts. Here are words I choose to LIVE by!
1. The gravity of my problems is not the issue. It is how I handle and roll with it.
2. I am who I think I am!
3. If I want to be treasured, I must first believe in my worth and treasure myself.
4. Other people's opinions or beliefs have no real lasting impact except for the value I place on it.

HOT Hair Advice: Relief for Itching!
My scalp is itching like crazy! and patting this weave just won't do! Help!
Believe me, patting your head all day can be the most annoying thing imaginable. Unfortunately, itching while wearing a weave occurs because the pores in your scalp is not getting enough air - causing excess moisture or extreme dryness. There are some products that temporarily relieve itching and reduces the amount of patting per day. Try Jane Carter Solution All Natural Scalp Nourishing Serum and Organic Root Stimulator Dry Scalp Relief Oil for itch relief.

Cyn City’s Straight Talk
I would like to start this segment talking about self-confidence. First, it is important to know what self-confidence is. Self-confidence is the difference between feeling unstoppable and feeling scared out of your wits. I would like to say that I feel as though I am self-confident, but when I step into a club the first thing I do is head to the bar. I am a strong woman but I am also shy at times, especially when I am meeting new people for the first time. After my first drink I start to feel comfortable. By the second drink, I can dance my ass off and talk to whomever I want. I know I’m not the only person who feels, or does that. By the end of the night I am unstoppable. But I have to wonder, is it me talking confidently and dancing wonderfully or is it the drinks. Well for the next few articles I am going to talk about people living life through a false sense of self-confidence from alcohol and drugs. Stay tuned!
If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to contact me at cynthiachpl@aol.com.

You’ve just turned 40 years old, do you have any plans for starting a family soon? You and Beyonce talk about that?
Jay-Z: “I’d like to be a dad some day and I love children. You start your life with expectations and dreams, then life unfolds and it doesn’t always turn out the way you imagined. Life is what it is. And at this point it’s up to somebody else.
Do you consider your and Beyonce’s marriage as role model for a perfect marriage?
Jay-Z: “I don’t think there is such thing as a perfect relationship. It is unrealistic and hoping for too much. I don’t think it is worth all that pressure. We also have our struggles and problems.”
Relationships are never easy...I'm just saying!

The 5 Hot Chick Hair Commandments
Basic hair rules from NYC hairstylist Rod Horton:
THOU SHALL NOT...
1)...DO YOUR OWN CHEMICAL SERVICES AT HOME!
You can never see your full head for proper application and you always risk over processing and damaging your hair.
2)...CUT YOUR OWN HAIR!
For the similar facts of chemical services, you can't see your full head nor achieve the right angle for a precision cut.
3)...LEAVE IN BRAIDS, WIGS OR EXTENSIONS MORE THAN 8-10 WEEKS!
Over extending wearing braids and extensions can weaken the hair and cause breakage and also risk locking and/or tangling of the new growth.
4)...HOT CURL OR FLAT IRON YOUR HAIR DAILY!
Too much heat can dry your hair and cause split ends and breakage.
5)...GREASE OR OIL YOUR SCALP!
Unless you have an extremely dry scalp, adding grease or oil to the scalp will weight your hair down, attract elements from the air, and cause your sebaceous glands to not produce it's own natural oils for your hair and scalp.

HOT Hair Advice: Hair thinning!
My hair is thinning and I'm not sure what to do. My hair is relaxed and I do not wear weaves.
If your hair is relaxed and thinning starts to occur, first try to increase the time between your touch-ups. Thinning is a sign of hair being over-processed. Products like Doo Gro Mega Thick Anti-Thinning Growth Treatment, is designed specifically to promote thick, strong and healthy hair. For more serious cases of thinning, Alter Ego or Nexxus Emergencee serum drops will provide immediate restoration of your hair's natural proteins and vitamins, which coats the hair cuticle to structurally reinforce hair growth.

HOT Skin Advice: How to get rid of dark spots!
Help me please! I have dark spots on my face that were left over from pimples I had. How can I get rid of them? I am a Black woman of a medium brown complexion?
Since African American skin tend to blemish easily, cocoa butter and exfoliation products with glycolic or
citrus acid will help diminish dark spots. Black Opal, Ambi & Neutrogena offer good fade creams that can help remove those pesky marks and reveal a radiant complexion.

HOT Beauty Advice: Great lip glosses!
I've always loved the lip looks of Halle Berry, Oprah, Kim Kardashian, Tyra Banks & Jennifer Lopez. How can I get my lips to look as lush as theirs? What lip glosses can you recommend?
I have the perfect answer for spectacular lip appeal - shimmer and plump girls! Lip gloss that shimmers gives off an illusion of art that naturally draws the attention of people. Second, a plumping lip gloss gives the appearance of fuller, more defined lips. With these strategies, your lips can't go wrong. Some suggestions to try are Bobby Brown Lip Gloss Collection for a Jennifer Lopez-like pout; Nars Twist Delights for a Kim Kardashian look; Revlon & Kiehls Lip Balm for Halle Berry-like lips; and Cover Girl Queen Collection as well as Sephora for a Tyra Banks & Oprah-like pucker.

HOT Hair Advice!
Help! My hair seems to be weak from wearing weaves? Can you recommend anything?
First suggestion is to try and stay away from a bonded weave (glue in). A sewn-in weave is more gentle to the hair because your hair is braided underneath. If you switch your hair style as frequently as I do, and just can't stay away from a bonded weave, have your stylist bond on a weave cap. Therefore your hair will not be completely affected by the glue. In the mean time, treat your hair with the Aphrogee hair treatment line. Use their protein 2-Step Shampoo to feed your hair with the important nutrients that's missing in your hair. (Protein should only be used one time a month.) Purchase their regular shampoo for damage hair for your 2-3 week maintenance wash. Follow up with their Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor to help restore
strength and softness to the damaged hair. Remember the things you put in your body comes out so stay healthy and live happy. Your hair will love you for it.

...pray earnestly and sincerely from your heart and really see the experience as a communion of your soul with whatever deity you worship. Ask for confidence, strength, wisdom, discernment, guidance, protection, focus and drive. Then step out on faith, knowing that God will see you through.
...come to terms with your past. Everyone has done things they aren’t proud of. Forgive yourself. Don’t beat yourself up for past mistakes. Understand that even mistakes can build your character for the better. You can’t unscramble eggs, so you may as well eat them and enjoy them.
...tell yourself every day that you’re sexy, confident, smart, vibrant, blessed and that you’ve got it going on!
...tell another Hot Chick that she looks great!
...slip into a sexy dress and admire yourself!
7 tips for the sexiest you!
“Let your hair play up your best facial features. For example, if you have great eyes, opt for shorter bangs; if you have a cute nose, try a side, diagonal part. (Remember to part hair on the side that’s the fullest to maximize sex appeal!)

5 Tips to Revive Your Sex Life!
So you're having a drought or you're just plain bored. Honey, it doesn't have to be! Dig this here...
1. Do It Yourself! Yes, I said it and...! There is no reason why you shouldn't be pleasuring yourself from time to time, regardless if you're in a relationship or not. That's one of the Hot Chick secrets on maintaining our hotness - knowing pleasure to give pleasure. Hell, I'm getting a little warm just thinking about it...be right back!
2. Variety is the spice of life! Speaking of which...now that I'm back from taking care of me...(LOL!)...Switch it up. Be spontaneous. Take a trip to the ladies room with your little friend, like the Bullet (for those of you that don't know, adult toy.) Watch a porn video or read an erotic book and repeat what you see. Try a new location. Buy some naughty lingerie. Request to be gently spanked. Try a new position. Cast your inhibitions to the wind.
3. Keep It Pretty! You should get turned on just by looking at yourself....being comfortable in your own skin. So take care of yourself and maintain your pretty inside and out. Remember, you're happiness begins and ends with your thoughts followed by your actions.
Although you love him/her, do you love you more?
Although at times we pretend to our family and friends that we no longer care about a certain person, privately we still yearn for them. Some of you will visit their FaceBook page as a way to keep in touch, many of you will continuely dream of a past once shared while you're dating someone new and others will secretly allow him/her into your thoughts and eventually into your bed hoping for a chance. But, where does that ultimately leave you?
Love is blind & what feels good isn't always right for me...
If all that you do is think about a particular person and you repeatedly ignore his/her blatant signs of not wanting to be with you such as not calling you or calling only when he/she wants something (i.e., sex or money), standing you up repeatedly with a flimsy excuse, or just treating you like crap under the guise that you are lucky to have a prize like them and will not do any better, why won't you leave them alone and move on?
Simply put, the best revenge is not allowing your love for a person diminish your dignity.
"If I do not think for myself, someone else will do the thinking for me."
Why do we accept what people tell us, instead of asking questions? Do we simply go along to get along?
The other day a friend told me that a New York City school told her that her then 6-year old had A.D.D (Attention Deficit Disorder) and that he should take a certain medication. She told them "no" and demanded for him to be tested to check his reading & writing level. However, when the tests came back, the school told her that he had a "learning disability" and again prescribed medication. She again said "no" and demanded that they find another solution like extra attention, extra homework, etc. She even said she would spend time tutoring him. A few months later, when my friend re-located to a Southern state, she told her son's new school that her son may need tutoring because he might have a learning disability but asked if they could test him first. Come to find out, her son was not only "fine" but performing a little above his grade level. Now, imagine if she had allowed that NYC school to give her son a mind-altering drug? How would that have effected him, especially in the long-run?
Beauties, I know that sometimes we think that someone else may know what's best for our situation based on their credentials or simply our trust in a certain system, organization or person. Ultimately, the responsiblity lies with us to inquire and research. Remember, asking questions, demanding additional information and wondering why things are the way they are, is the only way to protect yourself and your family from unnecessary stress or worse...harm.
Sex, Secrets & Lies!
I'm sure you dolls have already heard or read about married former North Carolina senator & Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards finally admitting what we already knew - that he is the daddy of Frances Quinn - the two-year old daughter of Rielle Hunter, a campaign videographer with whom he had an affair!
Here's what trips me out! If you know what you're doing is wrong, why leave evidence? Some of you may not like that nor what is coming next, but you'll be alright. If you are going to cheat, protect yourself. Fellas, don't squirt on a woman's dress, like our beloved "I never had sexual relations with that woman"ex-president Bill Clinton, leave text messages like Tiger Woods, Shaquille O'Neal or disgraced ex-mayor of Detroit Kwame Kilpatrick or impregnate your jumpoff like John Edwards. Ladies, the same rule applies except, don't get pregnant if you got a man.
Now before some of you start running off at the mouth, I am not in any way advocating cheating. I'm just saying that if you are going to do it, have some sense to reduce your chances of getting caught where you don't have to deny it when folks know good and damn well you're lying. Remember the cover-up is often worse than the crime.
Do you know what good sex is? Are you having it?
The other day, a male friend of mine confided that he was bored in his relationship. He said that when it came to sex, his girlfriend just took off her clothes and got in bed. No foreplay, sexy lingerie, nothing. Then when they did have sex, it was just him on top, her rubbing his back and that's it. When I asked about oral sex, he said, "She thinks she knows, but she doesn't know. She just does what she thinks pleases me." Wow! Next, I asked, if tried talking to her. He said he did, but she just dismissed him and told him that, "you just take too long to cum." WTF!
Darlings, never assume you know what a person likes sexually. Everybody is dfferent. Think of it like this. Everyone's body is like an instrument and you have to stroke the right keys for it to play sweet music. No inhibitions. No fears. No assumptions. Just an open mind and able body.
So if you have to ask yourself, "Do they satisfy you?" Then I guess the answer is, you're not having good sex. And if not now, when?
When you feel like you want to give up...
Once in awhile when it seems a bit much for me to deal with like running my business, having a personal life, being strong, keeping my sexy and maintaining my pretty thoughts, I have a moment or two where I wonder, "If I can really do it all..."
But right when those thoughts enter my mind, I smile and say, "Hell yeah! Keep your faith and take your time, because negative thoughts kill ambition. And doubts zap your confidence!" So, when I saw this photo of Kelly Rowland. I chuckled and thought, "Exactly!"
Hey, the best revenge is...Whatever you wish to accomplish affirm persistently and comcentrate all your power on securing it and when your mind is positive enough you will create what you wish. Remember, we can become a magnet and draw to us what we desire.
Believe in your power & beauty!

Jump-offs, mistresses, affairs...oh my!
I'm so tired of hearing about chicks coming forward admitting their affairs with high profile men. And yes, I'm equally tired of men creeping on their girlfriends or wives and flaunting it like they have it like that. We all know about the "indiscretions" of Tiger Woods and now NBA center, Shaquille O'Neal's alleged sex mates are kissing and telling. Vanessa Lopez, is even gone as far as accusing O'Neal of harassing her with "unwanted calls and telling an associate to 'shut dat bitch up' when she threatened to go to his wife if he didn't stop," according to her attorney Gloria Allred. Ms. Allred also says that, "Ms. Lopez knew that he was married, but he told her that he had an open marriage and that he remained married for his image and for his children..." Here's the million dollar question I have, 'If you knew he was married, why get involved?" Now, from a former cheater herself, I can tell you that those passionate flings often end up more of a headache than whatever it is you're going through at home. But more importantly ladies, at what point will we stick together and say "no" to the "attached men" because we don't want to see another woman hurt? I'm just saying...

Vaginal Therapy?!
I'm still smiling from a call I got last night from my childhood buddy who always has me in stitches with her antics. She forever gets herself into one thing or another. Then, like good girlfriends do, we find the humor and laugh our butts off...
Friend: "Hey girl."
Me: "Hey Baby. What's up?"
F: "Girl, my poo poo is in therapy."
M: "What?!"
F: "My Vagina is in therapy!"
M: (LOL!) "Is it sick...depressed? Did it swallow too much? Was its intake too much to handle? Or is it sad that it hasn't gotten any?" LOL!
F: (LOL!) "I'm a kill you. No. My doctor said it's a little out of shape so I have to squeeze my vaginal muscles 4 times a day and see a therapist once a week."
M: (LOL!) "Maybe she should go to the gym with me..." (LOL!)
F: (LOL!) "'Licia! I'm serious!"
M: "Hell, me too! I could get her a tiny dumb bell and a personal trainer then she can squeeze 'em both 20 times. LOL!"
F: (LOL!) "That could work! My therapist did say she needs strength."
Rihanna & Matt just friends?!
According to a statement from Matt's agent Dave Stewart, "They [Rihanna & Matt] are just good friends, and I don’t think we can label it as anything other than friendship right now..." So friends act like this? Yeah right...friends with benefits! LOL! By the way, check out these lyrics from Ri's new single, "Rude Boy": “Come here rude boy, boy / Can you get it up? / Come here rude boy, boy / Is you big enough? / Take it, take it / Love me, love me.” Interesting. Wonder if she was thinking this when they first got together? Just saying...
When the sex is bad, what do you do?
Can you believe that twice in one week, I get asked by two women what to do about their men who have a little...huh...shall we say...sexual difficulty. First, a young lady told me that the first time she and her new boyfriend had sex, he pumped real hard for a few minutes then ejaculated. Leaving her wondering...WTF! Then, the other day a friend of mine told me that her lover is horrible at oral sex, but brags that he's the "candy licker". Both women were frustrated (to say the least, I'm just saying...) and the men, baffled. What are these women to do? Both want to keep their men, but just want them to be better lovers. Now, why did they have to ask me? Hell, I was thinking, "caught your losses". There is no reason to be dissatisfied when it comes to pleasure. But after hearing how much they cared about these guys, I simply gave it to them straight and if it hurt their feelings, they'll be alright. (Hey, the older you get, the less patience you have nor time to waste. LOL!) So I said, "If you truly love this dude, tell him how you feel. Explain to him what turns you on and how you like to be stroked, kissed, licked, sucked, etc. Then, ask him what he likes, so that he feels like you care about his needs. If he shows no interest and only cares about his pleasure and/or tries to tell you it's your fault, you're just not enjoying it. Then boosts that there's nothing wrong with his skills. Get rid of him fast!"
Simply put, if the sex is bad, it will not matter how much you care about that person. Because, if they can't make the effort, then what does that say about how much they care about you?
It's time to move on when...
Ok, so it's a new year and you're still in a funk. Life just hasn't gone the way you wanted nor according to plan. So what are you gonna do about it? Sulk? Be bitter? Remain sad? Angry? Hey, when life throws you a meatball, ya just got to make it a sandwich. And if don't like or want meat, toss it out and do something else. (Ok, the meatball metaphor may have been a bit of a stretch, but you get the picture. LOL!) Bottonline, it's time to snap out of it and move on when...
...you keep playing the same sad song!
..you don't want to do anything, see anyone or go anywhere.
...you're snapping at your family, friends, mate and strangers.
...you keep talking about the situation to everybody!
...you drink alcohol only to help ease the pain.
...you cry yourself to sleep every night.
...you're not sleeping.
...you're complaining about everything.
Hey, you're life is not determined by what happens to you, it is the attitude you bring to life. So, take a deep breath and slip on your confidence and step into your hotness one pretty thought at a time!
Why do people sh*t where they eat?
Hope you guys are having a wonderful start to the new year. Mine started at Madison Square Garden at a Mariah Carey concert in NYC and let me tell you...it was fab! But Honey, why the very next day I hear some craziness about 2 NBA players playing cowboys and Indians or better yet wanna be gangsters, pulling guns out on each other..in their team locker room no less...over a $25,000 gambling debt! WTF! Why on God's green earth would you sh*t where you eat? Hell, if you're gonna confront somebody at least have the good sense to do so away from your job. Good grief!
Then, I'm sure ya'll heard of music producer Teddy Riley in a heated confrontation with his 18 year old daughter and her older sister?! What the hell? Why would a man fight his daughters? Why would young ladies fight their father? Now, some of you may get a little twisted with what I'm getting ready to say, but you'll be alright. Anywho...many of these teenagers today have just entirely too much mouth and think they could say or do whatever they want. NOT! Regardless of how the situation unraveled, one thing is true and constant, as long as you are under your parent's roof, you abide by their rules. So if you don't like his new girlfriend or your mother's new boyfriend, leave. If you think you're grown and want to set the rules, get the hell out and get you're own place. Parents, if your teen or grown-ass daughter or son think that they can disrespect you as they live off your money. Politely show them the door and tell them to "get the stepping"! What is there to argue about?!
Hey, you may get bruised, but you're never broken...
Lawd, lawd...2009 was an interesting year! For some, it's been much pain and drama, others uneventful, and the start of something wonderful for many. Honey, I can relate. 2006 & 2007 were...excuse my french...bitches for me. In 2008, I experienced self-discovery, redemption, freedom, forgiveness and hope. But 2009, brought a renewed spirit, a restored strength and a new love. Plus, I finally got to say good-bye to two old ghosts that were 2 of my biggest disappointments yet some of my best lessons learned...one, never let any obstacle or people get in the way of fulfilling your dreams. Two, love yourself enough to know when to let go. Three, other folk's opinions have no real lasting impact except for the value you place on it. Four, to listen well you must discern between your truth and the truth being told to you, because your truth is not everyone's reality. Five, you may get bruised but you're never broken. Hey, life is much too precious to waste your time and beauty.
So, after the collapse of my once fab magazine JOLIE and a couple of partnerships...I'm still standing...or better yet...still I rise...just a little taller. LOL!
Me and Vivica A. Fox at the NYC launch party for 1st endeavor JOLIE Magazine in 2005 and me 4 years later at the launch of my book, The Pretty Thoughts of a of a Hot Chick: Foxy Little Notions for Our Minds, Bodies & Souls in NYC, February 2009.
Why can't men just be honest? Why do they have to lie about everything? Why do we believe it?
A friend of mine posed these questions to me the other day and at first, I could not answer her. Something came over me. I just could not speak. Later that evening, I thought about my own experiences and how they shaped my view on men and relationships. Sure I've known men to not be truthful about one thing or another. But, I've also know men who will tell it like it is regardless of how one may feel. Then again, I know a few men who won't necessarily lie, they'll just leave out certain details. LOL! What I've learned though is that the truth changes its sound depending on who's hearing it and who's singing it. For example, a young lady told me that this guy she really likes and wants an exclusive relationship with, said to her that he wants to be with her but asked her to have sex with him and another girl. She responded by telling him, "if I can have sex with you and another man". He told her, "if that's what you want...cool." This was not the response she wanted to hear and thought, "well at least he said he wants to be with me." Another woman fools around with and loves a guy that did not tell her that he lived with his girlfriend and her child. So why do some men lie? Other than some wanting to have their cake and eat it to, perhaps its because we seem to ignore the truth. Think about it. How honest are you with yourself? Are your eyes wide open or are your eyes wide shut? Do you hear what you want to hear? Did you dismiss the signs? Why do we fall in love with the lies? We all have at one time or another. And yes, sometimes you just get blindsided. But hey, a person will tell on themselves if you're truly paying attention. Remember, the best revenge is learning to listen without your emotions and without your desires because then you won't fall for the beautiful lie.
Foods that'll increase your sex drive!
Sex gives you a glow & a smile which lights up your hotness! I'm just saying! So, check out the foods to help increase you & your man's libido! Eat up!
- Salmon are packed with Omega 3, which increases blood flow around the body and to the genitals and is vital for fighting impotence.
- Oysters are loaded with zinc, so oysters may help you increase sexual desire.
- Celery can be a fantastic source food for sexual stimulation. It contains androsterone, an odorless hormone released through male perspiration and turns women on.
- Bananas contain the bromelain enzyme, which is believed to increase libido and reverse impotence in men. Also, they are good sources of potassium and B vitamins like riboflavin, which increase the body's overall energy levels.
- Avocados contain vitamin B6 (a nutrient that increases male hormone production) and potassium (which helps regulate a woman's thyroid gland), two elements that help increase libido in both men and women.
- Almonds are a prime source of essential fatty acids. They provide the raw material for a man's healthy production of hormones. Additionally, the smell of almonds is purported to arouse passion in females.
- Eggs are high in vitamins B6 and B5. These help balance hormone levels and fight stress, two things that are crucial to a healthy libido. Some people will eat raw chicken eggs just prior to sex to increase libido and maximize energy levels.
- Figs are high in amino acids, which are believed to increase libido. They can also improve sexual stamina.
- Garlic contains allicin, an ingredient that increases blood flow to the sexual organs.
How much do you trust your mate in this age of text messaging? How much can you be trusted?
Did you hear on "The Today Show" that one of Tiger Woods mistresses Cori Rist asked Tiger one night when they were together, "Who are you texting?" Damn, this whole Tiger sex saga has sparked some interesting topic discussions. One, he responded with his mistresses primarly through texting. Kind of reminds me of another married man scandal involving, former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick who was caught with steamy text messages to his married mistress, his former chief of staff, Christine Beatty. It begs the question: How much do you trust your mate in this age of text messaging? How much can you be trusted? Or better yet, as one of my FaceBook friends posed, "If your mate had your phone for a day, would you be together by the end of the night?" As a pondered this question, it made me think back to an old relationship where my ex-beau would go through my phone & laptop looking for any hint of infidelity. The crazy thing was that some of the messages he found, although innocent, seemed to fuel his wicked perception of me as a "cheater". Funny thing was, fed up with his constant snooping and repeated accusations, I checked his voicemail as he was returning from a little cruise and found a rather amorous-sounding message from a "female friend" who was also on the same cruise. Anywho, as the saying goes, if your mate is accusing you of something and constantly going through your things, he/she is doing the exact thing they're accusing you of doing and/or has the evil LSE (low self-esteem). So if that's the case honey or if you're simply unhappy and feel the need to give in to temptation, please learn from Tiger, Kwame and countless others - do not text! Emails and texts can be tracked. Voicemail codes can be cracked. I'm just saying! LOL! But seriously, have the respect for yourself and your mate and think before you act. Because..."Without intergrity, there is no love; without trust, there is no peace; and without confidence, there is no beauty."
"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves," pro golfer Tiger Woods said in a statement on his official Web site regarding recent allegations of infidelity. "I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone."
What transgressions do you have?
In light of this Tiger Woods sex saga, people have been quick to offer their judgements and opinions as to why he cheated on his wife. I've heard things like, "He's just being a man," He was bored with wifey"...blah, blah, blah. But the truth of the matter is unless you've walked in that person's shoes what could you possibly relate to or can you? I know that I cheated in past relationships for different reasons. One, because I was not satisfied sexually, I felt that I was being taken for granted, I sought validation of my sexiness through men and I welcomed a "distraction" to simply not deal with a relationship that I no longer wanted. So, I understand Tiger's "transgressions". Hopefully in time he and others like him will learn more more about themselves and utilize that knowledge to become the best person that they can be. By the way, you don't have to get caught to begin healing. Best of luck to Tiger and his family as well as anyone who is going through a similar situation.

When you stop looking, you start living.
Recently a gentleman asked me, ‘What are you looking for?’ And although the question was simple, I found it pretty interesting. You see, once upon a time, I’d seek out people or things to give me what I thought I did not have. Or, I’d secretly looked for a particular type of individual to fulfill my desires. Of course I was never truly happy because in the back of my mind I either wondered, “When will the other shoe drop?” or “Why can’t they give me what I need?” But a funny thing happened after I slowly started to rise after a few bumps and bruises. I realized through my self-inflicted cloudiness and haze of disappointments that people do according to their understanding, and I finally understood that no one is responsible for my happiness except me.
So as I looked up into that handsome stranger’s soul-searching dark eyes, I responded with a smile, “Absolutely nothing.”
Hey, the best revenge after any let down, defeat, frustration or heartache is living without any expectations or fears. So...
"Dance as though no one is watching you, love as though you have never hurt before, sing as though no one can hear you, and live as though heaven is on earth." - Souza
Cheers, to letting every moment count!
If you and/or your mate is stressed and/or biting folk's heads off, perhaps you and he need a little sexual healing. Hey, you deserve it. Sex can transform your mind, body & soul. Trust me. So...
Why don't you...
...turn off your phone, put on some of your favorite sexy slow grooves, close your eyes and literally do you.
...after he settles himself when he gets home from work, offer him a massage and leave no area on his body untouched. Then, take his maleness into your mouth and pleasure the hell out of it.
......watch a porn video. Then allow your hands and fingers to travel to your pleasure zones.
...visit your lover in nothing but a coat, seductive perfume and heels. Then, once inside, put the wall against your face, pull your coat up to your waist and tell him, "Come and get it.I want you now."
...every Hot Chick should have at least 1 toy. Go to bed a little earlier than usual and climax with it as many times as you wish.
...play the helpless role in bed and make your man feel that he's having his way.

1. Red Nails - Simply put, there is something so incredibly sexy about crimson fingertips! Lovin' Essie's After Sex, Jag-u-are and Wicked!
2. Sleep - Yeah I know, sometimes you just don't have enough time. But baby, there is a reason it's called "beauty sleep". While you're getting your z's, your skin is renewing itself and it's the perfect time to use products with vitamin A-based retinol or retinods as well as glycolic and salicylic-based treatment products due to your skin's cellular turnover increasing at night, making it more receptive to the radiant benefits of said ingredients.
3. Straight Tresses - Philip B. Drop Dead Straightening Balm (available at Rickys (rickys.com & beauty supply stores) is the Bentley of hair straightening! I do not care how curly, coarse or whatever you want to define the texture of your crowning glory, but this stuff got my strands silky smooth without the help of a chemical relaxer. I'm just sayin...!
4. Youth Booster - An apple, leafy greens, cherry and onion a day may keep old age at bay. Quercetin, found in these foods, is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Great for the complexion!
5. Lush Lashes - Lancome's Definicils High Definition & Oscillation mascaras are my absolute favorites! Also, just tried Rimmel's Glam 'Eyes Lash Flirt mascara and it's really good.
6. Bad Breath Cures - In addition to brushing and flossing at least twice a day, I found that gargling morning and night with a little hydrogen peroxide as well as eating an apple a day and having some parsley or peppermint after each meal will help keep breath fresh.

How to think like a Hot Chick!
Hot chicks are not born, they're created. They nurture their special brand of hotness and do not allow negativity, low self-esteem and someone's opinion take up valuable space in their minds. So, if you want to increase your desirability and/or you yearn for something better or different, start with what you think - which leads to your action then becomes your lifestyle. Now Honey, commit to memory the 9 Beliefs of a Hot Chick:
1. My beauty is a conscious choice and a daily practice. 2. I may get bruised, but I’m never broken! 3. Style is how I speak to the world. 4. I have the power to manifest my desires through pretty thoughts, visualization, dedication, persistence and intention! 5. I live in the moment and appreciate the journey. 6. Great sex starts with me. 7. A good cry is essential, but a smile is an every day rule! 8. I am never afraid to find the humor in my mistakes and embarrassing moments. 9. Sex appeal is more than physical attractiveness. It is my body language - how I feel, speak, walk, sit, stand, gesture and move.
Remember...You are who you think you are!
Live Pretty!

How to be hotter than everyone else!
1. Think Pretty. For example, it doesn’t matter if you're larger or smaller than most girls, light or dark skinned, different hair texture, etc.You don't have to look like everyone else to be beautiful. Remember, you are who you think you are!
2. Add a sexy color to you lips. According to color experts, the ultra feminine pink hue increases heart rate, deep purple causes an intense feeling and red stimulates one's imagination. Use these shades to your advantage and up our hotness.
3. Always smell good. 'Nough said!
4.Show what is good about your body. Hotness doesn't equal skinny and owning a "hot" body isn't the same thing as being sexy. Learn to play with your assets and work it! Wear only what looks good on you! HOT Tip: Undergarments like Spanx and Body Magic can enhance your shape to Hot Chick proportions!
5. Legendary fashion designer Coco Chanel once said, "A dress should do most of its work from the back." Just as a woman should have a striking entrance, her exit should leave a mesmerizing lasting impression. So whether its pants, jeans, skirt or dress, a fantastic fit with great posture is key. Never leave your house without checking the back of your clothing and head. Now, keep your shoulders back, breasts out, walk with a bit of a strut and sway those hips!
6. Smile! It not only makes you look confident, but you'll appear more approachable. It puts people at ease and will ultimately make you feel at ease. So don't worry. Uncertainty and fear tends to have an aura. Be joyful.
7. Be Beauty! Strive to look your best every day! Brand yourself as a Hot Chick with hair (regardless if it's short, mid-length or long; straight, wavy or nappy; weaved, relaxed or natural), lush & stylish, (keep those edges fab, including at the nape of your neck get TIGI's BedHead Cool Stick), well groomed eyebrows & nails, soft & smooth skin (coconut oil or shea butter is perfect to keep body luscious) and bright, clean teeth.
8. Dance. Try salsa, ballroom, pole or belly dancing.You'll gain confidence and you will move more gracefully and sexily without even thinking about it.
When to unleash your bad ass chick!
Warning: This is for sexy bitches only! LOL!
There are times a little naughtiness is totally called for, such as...
When...
...it's just one of them days when folks are tap dancing on your last nerve.
...someone reaches over or cuts in front of you without an "excuse me" or apology.
...a man compliments your particular body part and you seductively caress it, looking him dead in his eyes and say, "Thank you Darling."
...being nice gets no results.
...you skip the panties because you just want to get to "doing the damn thing!"
...you must tell a little lie. So you confidently surround it in truth so it sounds more believeable.
...you masterbate right in front of him after he said he's "tired", "busy" or "not in the mood".
Detox the Mess & Get Your Pretty On!
Whether it’s surviving the economy, losing a job, break-ups or dealing with family/friendship or career stress, it can take a wretched toll on our spirit and beauty…if we allow it. Hey, life is not determined by what happens to us but by the attitude we bring to life. Here are a few tips & thoughts to revive your state of being:
1. Think “me.” Turn off your Blackberry! At least once a day, preferably before bedtime, create a peaceful moment where you can be alone and take time to breathe deeply, meditate, pray, or just sit quietly. This allows you to clear your mind and bring closure to the events of the day. Best of all, it prepares you for a restful night’s sleep without any worry. So take a long, slow inhale and think of the things to release from your mind’s space. When you exhale, see those items coming out of your mind and spirit in that breath as you truly let go. Pretty Thought: When I am focused it is impossible to throw me off my course.
2. Let it rain. We all must release some tears to help us shed the layers that prevent us from growing in every aspect of life. Learn the value in the storms that test you. Don’t be afraid to weep. A silent cry never hurt anyone. It simply cleanses your spirit and helps you move on. It can be an empowering experience if you let it.Pretty Thought: A good cry is essential, but a smile is an every day rule!
3. Purge your mind. Free yourself of past hurts, worries and disappointments. Write down your thoughts and feelings about everything that happened to you. Read it over, one last time then shred it! This allows you to cleanse your mind and bring final closure to a situation without causing additional conflict or further negative thoughts. Pretty Thought: I am no longer imprisoned by past disappointments and hurt.
4. Create a remedy that is the complete opposite of your doubts. Choose an affirmation that reflects something you want to achieve. Phrase the affirmation as if you are already achieving it. For example, “I am losing weight.” Repeat it often throughout the day. Pretty Thought: No one can ever come between me and my happiness except me.
5. Embrace the Naked Truth. Focus on your positives! Loving what you see, sans clothing and makeup, is one of the most powerful lessons to be learned. Pretty Thought: Of all the things to wear to enhance my beauty, confidence is the most striking!

How to get your sexy back!
Girl, we've all had those moments where we didn't feel particularly good due to one thing or another. Or, we've said, "the hell with it!" when we stop trying to get that perfect curl, hide that bothersome pimple, get into those fabulous jeans or find the most flattering outfit. Dig this here! I've slipped out of my stylish stilettos as I'm writing this. Girl, my pedicured footsies need a rest. They hurt! You know what I'm saying?! Hey, it is what it is! Anywho, the first thing we need to do in order to feel sexy again is to re-focus and "think" of ourselves as sexy, despite our circumstances. Remember, we are who we think we are! So forget that you slept an extra five minutes this morning, because you were too tired or cold to get out of bed; your beloved child and/or husband is tap dancing on your last nerve. Or, that you have an overwhelming pile of stuff to do at work and a few bills that are on your ass like the hungry hounds of hell. Honey, this is no way to feel sexy, especially with sore feet...I'm just saying! Let's reclaim our sexy and get it back! Here's how!
1. Turn your cell off & kick everyone out of your space for at least an hour. Grab some scented candles and music and make your environment sexy. Start with a relaxing bath and tell yourself everything you like about you as you run your bath water. Add some bubbles and/or bath salts and a couple drops of vanilla, sandalwood or lavender essential oils. Pour yourself a TALL glass of water. This will keep you hydrated as your spa-like water will dehydrate you. Plus, it's good for your skin and organs. Sometimes all you need is peace and quiet and a ice cold glass of water to start the sexy.
2. Read a book! Simply put, reading gives you new experiences and pushes out old thoughts and stimulate new ones. The Pretty Thoughts of A Hot Chick: Foxy Little Notions for Our Minds, Bodies & Souls, is the perfect pick-me-up or friendly reminder for you at just the right moment when your feeling less than stellar and a pretty thought or two is just what you need to get your swagger off of vacation!
3. Find the humor in the situation or a friend who can. I've said this before and I'll say it again and beyond my grave, laughter is life's best medicine! And as I've learned through my heartaches, disappointments & pain...this too shall pass. Remember, our life is not determined by what happens to us, but by the attitude we bring to our lives.
So be sure to love yourself and take the time to take care of yourself because when you radiate that genuine good feeling from within all the outside "goodies" are just a bonus! Besides, feeling good is the key to attractiveness. Now what are you waiting for? I've slipped into a cute pair of flats, winked at my stilettos, placed then in my tote and am headed out into the jungle with a big smile on my face...thinking, "I cannot wait to slip into a bubblebath!"
Get Your Pretty On!
6 easy & safe steps to detox & maintain your pretty!
Give your body some much needed R&R from the summer cocktails, barbeques and such with the following tips:
1.) Select a week to slow down and remove yourself from some of the bustle of your everyday life, and find a simple cleansing plan. I love Health Direct's Sculpt n' Cleanse Colon Cleansing Formula, which you can get at any heath food store, GNC or The Vitamin Shop. Start by eliminating things in your kitchen that don’t really support your health, i.e., bread, pasta, cookies, candy, cakes, pies, alcohol, soda, fried foods. And add lots of greens (collards, spinach, bok choy) that you can use in salads and those that you can steam or cook until tender. These pack an immense amount of vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, and fiber. Try dandelion greens or arugula in your next salad. Steam some collards, kale, or chard. You can flavor these simply with garlic, apple cider vinegar or lemon and olive oil.
2.) Focus on fiber. As you know, fiber helps keep things moving out of your body, and it is one of the most missing components of our modern, highly-processed diet. You will want to consume a great deal more fiber than usual this week. Some sources should include vegetables, fruit, whole grains, flax seeds or flax seed meal, and perhaps a fiber supplement. Try one which does not have added sweeteners or coloring, like FiberSmart by Renew Life, but there are a number of options on the market. You should be eating fiber-rich foods at all three meals of the day.
3.) Chew your food. Every bite. Yes, meals will take longer, but you’ll be surprised at the new flavors you experience and the amount of food it actually takes for you to feel satisfied. In the beginning it may help to count the number of times you chew each bite. Start by chewing at least 15 times before swallowing. This will do miraculous things for your digestion.
4.) Stay hydrated. Flush out toxins by drinking at least 8-10 glasses of water every day. You should not be consuming alcohol, caffeine, or sugary drinks (no diet sweeteners either). For a little flavor, add some lemons or cucumbers to your glass of water.
5.) Growing into new grains. Whole grain of course. Grains are a great source of B vitamins, mood-stabilizing minerals like selenium and tryptophan, and also fiber. Skip wheat flour (whether it is white or “whole wheat”) as many people are sensitive to this. Make amaranth, brown rice, quinoa, kasha, and/or millet. All of these grains can be found in your local health food store.
Now Hotties, after a week or so, you'll start seeing inches disappear from your waist-line and your complexion will glow! But, try it for a month with some form of exercise for greater results.

Foods to reduce stress!
Stress can wreck havoc on our hotness. So don't let it throw a monkey wrench in your beauty game, honey! Fight back with pretty thoughts, laughter and these delicious treats:
1. Fruits, vegetables and other plant-based foods.
2. Fish (salmon, halibut, trout) several times a week.
3. Olive, flaxseed & safflower oils.
4. Wine (but in moderation, like a glass or two)
5. Yogurt & cheese.
6. Comples carbs like organic oatmeal, brown rice, brown pasta.
7. Walnuts
8. Dark chocolate
Here's a sample of my daily meal plan that helps keep me stress-free:
Morning - organic oatmeal with flaxseeds, blackberries & strawberries
Lunch - spinach or spring mix salad with olive oil, flaxseeds, walnuts, eggs (sometimes), salmon or chicken
Dinner - salad, bok choy or broccoli, salmon/halibut with olive oil, sweet potatoes and a glass of red or white wine.
Snacks between meals - a little piece of dark chocolate, fruit, organic natural popcorn
How to make the most of what you have!
1. Focus on your positives. Don't sell yourself short because you are not perfect. You are hot despite whatever perceived imperfections! Remember, losing your fears and inhibitions requires loving yourself completely and stretching out of your comfort zone in order to be a Pretty Hot Chick!
2. Be Pretty! Never leave your house without mascara, lipgloss, fragrance, cute hairstyle or hat, great-fitting clothes, adorable shoes and of course pretty thoughts!
3. Speak 2 languages: Body & English! Legendary actress & singer Eartha Kitt once said, "Don't move because you want to go from this point to that point, the body has to be using the words as well as you vocally use the words." Hey a hot chick's middle name is sensuality!
Eartha Kitt - the eternal hot chick!
Pretty is as pretty does…
I was not always so sure of my beauty. Many moons ago, I would give too much power to the notion that a beautiful, sexy woman can’t have flaws…that she had to fit a certain make, model or mode. But one day, after yet another crying fit over what I did not have, or a new pimple or two, I realized after seeing my reflection through tear-stained eyes that I was whatever I chose to be. You see, beauty is an aesthetic comprehension, which is purely subjective. It is an idea…most notably a belief…of being a woman who knows who she is and how she chooses to be pretty to the world. Just because you’re not thin, don’t have a big butt, certain facial features, big boobs, small boobs, long hair, a particular hair texture, perfect skin or you’re a little older than the rest, doesn’t mean that you can’t be just as hot as the next woman. Hey, beauty is like ice cream—there are many delicious flavors enjoying their rightful place on this smorgasbord of prettiness. So why not embrace your particular brand of allure? You’ve got to believe it in order to achieve it honey, and if you do, others will follow. So, go ahead and carry yourself like a beautiful woman. Remember, how the world responds to you is up to you! It is by your thoughts, hand and command!
Believe in Your Beauty!
The notion, “If I lost 10 more pounds then I would be…” or “I hate my…” must stop immediately because what you focus on the most becomes your reality. For example, if you only think and complain about how much you hate what you believe to be a certain flaw then you will attract people who will see your perceived flaw. But, if you keep your mouth closed and your thoughts focused on your terrific attributes, then your insecurities will diminish and you as well as others will see your beauty.
Remember Hotties, you are who you think you are! Beauty is a state of mind. Live it. Breathe it. Perception is reality. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and you are the most important observer. Hey, if you believe it you will achieve it.
3 Tips to Step up Your Pretty!
1. Take notes from HOT women you admire: Whether it's Beyonce's killer heels or lengthy tresses, Halle Berry's chic shades, adorable pixie cut or classic fashion sense, or Rihanna's bold glam rock image, take a few fashion & beauty cues and incorporate into your own style.
2. Add statement jewelry: A few standout pieces can turn jeans and a tee shirt...heck any outfit into a striking ensemble. Halle is one of the queens of using great accessories (i.e. rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, etc) to enhance her look.
3. Put your best Pretty Hot Chick forward: Believe in your beauty! Some of the most desirable women may not be amazingly gorgeous but they have oodles of confidence and wear what makes them look and feel fabulush!
Hey, it's the power of the pretty. So accentuate your assets and strut!
You are who you think you are. Live Pretty!
5 Notions That'll Enhance Your Hotness Right Now!
1. Choose then act. Make up in your mind to believe in yourself.
2. Think "pretty". Whatever you desire, think of that and never swerve from it. If you want prosperity, think prosperity never poverty or of being broke. If you want to be desirable, think of yourself as such: "I am a Hot Chick!" Act as if you are, dress as though you are! Remember you become who/what you think you are.
3. Make the best of yourself. Pay attention to detail when it comes to your appearance. You know, the little things like fit, scuffs on shoes, lint, chipped nail polish, dry lips, untidy hairline and nape of neck, deodorant marks, dandruff, wrinkles on clothes, food between teeth, etc.
4. An alluring woman exercises self-control. Don't show any weaknesses by losing your temper. Start your day or evening with, "No matter what happens, I am going to remain calm, cool & collected and not lose my temper."
5. Just be. Be brave, courageous, fearless. Be afraid of nothing! Just do!
3 tips on increasing your sex appeal!
Discover your true self. Feeling comfortable in your own skin is in figuring out who you truly are and working with what you have. Look at how you really live your life and and what you stand for. Then, consider how you dress and style your hair. Think about what makes you feel comfortable - what makes you feel good! These are the things that tell you who you really are.
Being confident. You are who you think you are! Improving your sex appeal isn't about how others see you. More importantly, it's improving how you view your own sex appeal and getting yourself to a place where you feel sexy whether others see it or not. It's about gaining confidence in your own opinion of yourself and realizing your own self worth.
Just Be. What you wear speaks a lot for who you are. Dress for the image you want to project. What image do you want to show the world?
Tips on Stepping Up Your Sex Appeal!
Hey, sex appeal is not just about looking & smelling good. It's about how you feel about...YOU! Yesterday, I mentioned 3 things that'll increase your hotness: feeling comfortable in your own skin, knowing your self worth & dressing for the image you want to project. So today...
Why not...
...relax. No self bashing! I know. I know. It's easy if you think that you have no real proof that you're sexy. But just because you think it's easy, doesn't mean you should give in to it.
...learn from mistakes. Unfortunately there are some things that happen in life that crush our confidence. One of course is rejection. Hey, there will always be someone or something that can cause you to feel like the least sexy thing. But, when this happens, remind yourself that it's temporary. Believe me, this too shall pass. Just give yourself some time, think about what led to the bad experience, learn from it, and move the hell on!
...find your smile. Let your joy loose! Do things that make you feel alive. This will not only make you happier, it will improve your self-confidence and make you feel sexy. So find a something that ignites your passion; that makes you smile.
Remember being a knockout is not about the way I look. It is the way I am.

The Pretty Thoughts of a Hot Chick:
Foxy Little Notions for Our Minds, Bodies & Souls!
Reviews:
"It is highly recommended reading for the sojourner of life who needs a quick pick-me-up in the darkest moments or just a friendly nudge of a reminder. If you get ‘stuck’ or feel ‘trapped’ and aren't sure which thought pattern will get you unstuck and moving up, on or out, pick up a glass of wine or cool refreshing spring water, tell yourself “It’s not that serious,” and read this book! Somewhere in there is the prettiest thought that a hot chick can have at just the moment she needs it." - S. Renee Greene, Contributing Editor, wwww.mahoganybutterfly.com
"THIS BOOK WAS JUST WHAT I NEEDED! I DID NOT PUT IT DOWN UNTIL I FINISHED IT, AND STILL WANTED MORE! I WILL READ IT AGAIN!" - Renee Croome
Hey, I will not divulge all of my secrets but one thing is certain. There is only one rule of foreplay: Take care of your partner first because good foreplay is when one gets great pleasure out of pleasing his/her lover. So check out 3 of my favorite things to do to my lover!
1. So you know how to kiss...but not like this! Trace the tip of your finger or tongue around edges of your lover's mouth.They'll experience a tingly almost ticklish sensation. But don't lick around entire mouth. Just kiss as you normally would then trace upper or lower lip, kiss again, then trace lower or upper lip.This will trigger thoughts of what you can do to his private parts!
2. Touch me, tease me. There is a bountiful of sensual nerve endings awaiting your touch on the back of neck, inner thighs, that sexy dip where neck meets chest, sides of torso & lower back. So use your fingers, lips and tongue to slowly caress & nibble from chin down to that little indentation that connects neck with the collarbone; up and down back of neck then across shoulder; just underneath rib cage and down to the hip bone; then starting from mid-inner thigh to the top.The reaction will be a favorable one!
3. Give a long, slow, relaxing foot massage.Use a sensual-smelling massage oil and massage the sole of the foot in a slow, circular motion. Next, use your nose, tongue and fingers and explore the toes, the ball of the foot, the heels and the top of the foot. Caressing the ankles, massaging the arches, kissing the soles & sucking the toes can send your partner into total bliss!
Confessions of a Hot Chick!
Slip into sexiness every time you want with a few of my pleasure principles:
1. Allow your thoughts to be your guide. Your most important sex organ is your brain. It’s not always our physical assets that leads us to feel hot and tingly. Nor should it only be the touch and/or words of a lover. Your mind plays a very important role. So relax and think pretty, sexy thoughts to put you in the mood.
2. Feel & look good. Sensuality begins with your attitude. If you feel sexy, you are sexy! First, always visualize yourself as a very desirable woman. Next, treat your body to a massage and/or a body scrub, get your hair done, indulge in a manicure and pedicure, slip into your favorite fragrance and sexy lingerie. Then, lay on beautiful silk, satin or Egyptian cotton linens of 300 or better thread count sheets as you enjoy the hypnotic rhythms of your favorite tunes. Remember, you are only as hot as you think you are and a pretty hot chick takes care of her mind, body and spirit.
3. Embrace your sexuality. Know what turns you on! Routinely touch yourself. Caress every inch of your being as you reach a euphoric high. Honey, your body was made to have orgasms! So enjoy the exploration. Hey next to diamonds, imagination, fingers & adult toys can be a girl’s best friend!
Use your voice. Men enjoy a little dirty talk, especially if your tone is low but clear, seductive & charming. But if you're not comfortable with it, try slipping sexy hints about what you'd like to do to him over the phone or text. Your sexually suggestive talk will have him thirsting for you.
Add some bubbles. Greet him in nothing but a mini robe, red or black stilettos and a kiss. Have a glass of Champagne (or any carbonated drink) in hand and offer him a sip. The bubbly can help give oral pleasure a bit of extra fizz! So take a mouthful of your chosen liquid, then carefully take him in your mouth without spilling it all. The bubbles fizzing against his jewels will drive him crazy!
Be fresh. Mints are good for adding a bit of extra tingle. Put a mint in the side of you mouth while your giving him oral stimulation for a whole new sensation!
10 things that aren't worth crying about...
- Someone's opinion of you. It holds no weight except for the value YOU place on it!
- The project you did not get a chance to finish.
- When he's not acting right. Don't cry, honey! Kick his ass to the curb!
- Your boss snapping at you.
- Running into your ex with his new love.
- Anything that can be fixed with a girdle, Spanx & the right bra!
- A pimple. Hey, they come and then they go!
- Letting go of a toxic relationship, especially after you've tried to work it out!
- Not having a boyfriend/husband. Enjoy you! LIVE!
Getting laid off from your job. Something better is coming along! Have faith!

9 Things Men Notice About You Instantly!
While I was in Miami, I had a conversation with a few of my male friends about what they notice when they first meet a woman. And honey, it's more than just ass & tits that peaks their interest! I'm just saying!
1. Your Hair. It's all about lush locks! It signals that you're healthy ladies! So keep those tresses looking fabulush!
2. Your Goddess Glow. Yes Girlies! Guys notice a radiant complexion. So stop letting the stress & anxiety rob you of your glowiness. Psst...! You can also cheat with a great bronzer!
3. Your Eyes & Lips. Baby, your eyes and lips are the first thing people focus on. 'Nough said! So your peepers & pucker should be desirable at all times! Remember, eyeliner, mascara & lipgloss...oh my!
4. Your Smile! A bright, sincere smile lights up your face and says your relaxed and fun, which causes a man to drop his guard and feel more comfortable. Also, healthy teeth adds to your allure!
5. Your Voice. Believe it or not, many women have no idea how much power they have just by the tone of her voice. So keep it soft & seductive!
6. Your Hands & Feet. Girl, my friends had me rolling with laughter about some of their horror stories about seeing...well...less than desirable fingers, knuckles, soles and toes. Please do not be a statistic or a punchline! Keep those hands and feet smooth and pretty!
7. Your Style. Men pick up on confidence and what's genuine about you. So know what works for you and stay true to who you are - whether you're a sex kitten, sophisticated lady, glamour puss or a conservative charmer - just be you!
8. Your Shoes. Yes Girl! Men notice rundown heels, raggedy tips, etc. So keep those heels, flats and sneakers in good condition.
9. Your Scent. A fragrance lingers in a man's mind and Honey guys do like to be seduced. So always let your signature scent be seductive and inviting. Never overpowering.
