And fun was had by all....This weekend was chock full of Christian loving and style. I had the unique opportunity to assist with wardrobe styling with the Dr. Bobby Jones Gospel show at the BET studios in Washington, DC (thanks to Genevieve Nixon, uber producer!). I had the pleasure of meeting premiere gospel artists (Tonex, Mighty Clouds of Joy, Wess Morgan, Ricky Dillard, Canton Jones, Shirley Murdock, Lexi, Shirley Ceaser, Karen Clark-Sheard, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, to name a few) and Dr. … [Read more...]

I have had a few requests to give some dating tips to the menfolk (actually, I was accused of being bias because I am married). I am really still a newlywed in my mind, so I still feel a bit in touch. To be fair to all, here is some fruit from the tree of life for the men in your lives:1. Women do care about how much money you make and your credit score (regardless of what they tell you), but they don't want you to splash them with dollar-dollar bills or rain on them when you first meet. Not … [Read more...]

MAN SURVIVAL KIT I always get EXTREMELY irritated when I meet a man and one of the following happens:1. He has bad breath..like a small pet just up and died in his mouth2. His off-the-rack clothes fit very poorly (either he has on smedium or double double XXL)3. His odor overpowers my sense of smell and nearly renders me unconscious4. He has stains on the most vital parts of his clothing...what was HE doing before?5. He has the "ashy Larry " syndrome--meaning white knuckles, chapped hands, dry … [Read more...]

THE LOOK: BAMBOO EARRINGSI am an 80s baby, so I remember all these revolving trends coming back to haunt us. Unlike the pure disdain that I have for high-waisted mom jeans, I am loving the return of the doorknocker earrings (as immortalized in the classic "Round the Way Girl" by LL Cool J). Celebs like Hilary Duff, Rihanna, Bey, Cassie, and Fergie have become addictive fans of the look. You can glam up or glam down most outfits with these fun, decorative hoops. I have a few pair myself--peep the … [Read more...]

I cannot begin to tell you how many women need to read the prior Date Doctor post. When I was out in Sin City this weekend, all of the advice that I gave was reaffirmed. After the after-after party, me and some very new friends had a very early breakfast. Picture this: one man surrounded by 3 women. He proceeded to ask the ladies if they had seen any attractive men (I was excluded---I guess married women go blind after jumping the broom), and they couldn't give a straight answer. I … [Read more...]

I decided to make every Wednesday MAN DAY--meaning that if I haven't address a so-called male subject, I will dedicate myself to the stronger sex (ladies. don't groan, just go along for going's sake) during the mid-week. This week on MAN DAY, I will be discussing sleek and upscale accessories...i.e. phones and TVs. In the future, look forward to posts about watches, jewelry, men's clothing, and, (take a deep breath fellas) male grooming products...The new must-have BluetoothJawboneI … [Read more...]
