just say no deal

Remember that cocktail reception that you went to last fall? The one where you met that really hot guy? The one who went to all the right schools, had all the right connections, the one that you could hardly believe was talking to you!?! But incredulously he was… Wow, thought you— “WHAT A CATCH!” He was smooth as silk, elegantly dressed; he knew all the right things to say— and he said them with perfect syntax!!! When he asked for your biz card, you almost fell off your Manolos as you fumbled through your purse trying to find one without make-up smudges on it… “OMG,” said you, as you told your girlfriend the next day, “I have a really great date on Saturday with this incredible guy, I just hope that I didn’t have a piece of lettuce stuck in my teeth; I couldn’t stop smiling. It was such a connection… WOW…”

Well Saturday night came, you strapped on those hot new Louboutin sandals that you forwent 3.5 months of lunches (and many dinners) to afford… you made it to the that new “IT” place (how in the name of Hell was he was able to get a reservation) just on time to run to the Ladies’ to touch up your lipstick. You made your best entrance into the bar area (no lettuce in your teeth to be sure), but no dude. You waited for an hour… checking your mobile every few minutes, maybe he’s tied up… After your third Cosmo, you finally admitted the worst. He’s a NO show— you’re stood up. This smooth-as-silk guy was a gorgeously shiny package with all the righteously right rhetoric. Sadly, this beautifully appointed Bad Boy just didn’t have the substance or the soul to back it all up.

Sista and Princess say, “Barack Obama we’re bored with Bad Boys here… We want a GOOD Man! Maybe it’s time to go on a date with John McCain…”Or perhaps we should just blow off our Bad Boys and Gold Ol’ ones too and stick with the much BETTER Woman. We could throw a real whoop of a party. How does DISSing the backroom men altogether sound Senator Clinton? I’m sure Independents serve fab Cosmo’s too!!

“HILLARY ON TOP!” says HH.com! You just let the 18 mill of us know and we’ll raise that bar (and then some).

SIsta is just back from the rally and the meeting. I was in the dnc hall and saw MI and FL dissed live!!! the battle goes on; we will fight until every last vote is counted. And mark sista’s words… the dnc will feel a blistering sting from all of the hireheels chics if they don’t recognize the voters’ will. sending good luck wishes for a strong showing for our gal in PR Sunday!!!”

I say, “Down with Dean!” When Sista and rest of the savvy hh contingent gets through with him he’ll be screaming alright… at the top of his DissNfranChising lungs!!!

N.B.: It really smarts when a gal’s wearing 5-inch spikes pile-drives a dude smack dab in the middle of his instep… Dean you may be a master at sidestepping the issues… but you’re no match for me and the rest of the hh crew.

Need a little rah rah ladies? Here’s a little grit that I sent the DNC’s way in response to one of Howard’s latest fund-raising solicitations. I hope you find it motivational.

Dear Chairman Dean:

Enclosed please find what’s left of my DNC membership card.

Disenfranchising millions of voters for your stupid PR ploy to appease Iowa (with its measly SEVEN electoral votes) will be your undoing.

Your trickery will lose the general election for the Dems. WE ARE THE GOOD GUYS REMEMBER?!?! We don’t diss registered Democrats because their Republican state legislators “broke” your asinine calendar rules.

The “Repugs” are laughing at YOU Howard— from the bank all the way to the ballot box!!!

Start leading the show with ethics not your BIG FAT EGO.
YOU’LL NOT GET ONE “BLUE” CENT FROM ME!!!

— SCL
Formerly a life-long democrat, presently your worst nightmare.

The wimp probably won’t even show his face at the meeting. He’ll be off sipping Kool-Aid and taking a dip in the Obama tank with his buds in the “non-biased” press corps.

Fashionastas on both sides of the pond are teetering on the edges of their Manolos in anticipation of “Sex and the City”— the movie. The world premier of the film took place last night (May 12, 2008) in London. Not to worry, this fashion-savvy chic had her webcam well poised to view and report on the couturier spectacle that dazzled the Leicester Square red carpet.

The fabulously fashionable four showed up for the pre-premier soirée donning creations that certainly turned heads. My head was shaking however… WHAT were these gals thinking?!? Was there a mirror in the presidential suite? Or perhaps freely furnished couturier was just too good to pass up? After all some say, “We are in a recession…”

Sarah Jessica Parker’s lush green Alexander McQueen strapless would have doubled beautifully as a delectable a fruit salad… especially when served up with its pièce de résistance — rosette and feathered Philip Treacy hat topper.

Kim Cattrall’s taffeta Vivian Westwood was vivid in red, but dumpy. Cynthia Nixon was sleek and chic in full-length black Calvin Klein—although, “TMI,” says I, with a décolletage view that left way too much hanging. Kristen Davis wore a vintage fuchsia frock that would have done us all a favor if it had been left in grandmother’s attic! The shoes DULL, Dull, dull (Parker’s two-tone Alexander M’s get an honorable mention)… AND as for the bling— lack-luster to non-existent…

Don’t fret my sassy “Sex and the City fans.” That was merely the London premier. There is plenty of time for the gals to get it together with their fashion consultants by May 30th, when the film opens on this side of the Atlantic.
And rumor has it that the movie itself features a bevy of fashion delights from such notables as Balenciaga, Vivienne Westwood, Christian Lacroix, Oscar de la Renta and Karl Lagerfeld. According to famed costume designer Pat Field there are at least 80 costumes for Parker’s character Carrie alone, and a trove of jewelry treasures that cost millions.

See you @ the movies in D.C.!!

Greetings. I’m still on the rather sloshy ground here on Washington Street at the Cap Grille in downtown Indy. I almost feel more comfortable with the repubs at this point than the dems. Now, that’s a first!!!!! I have to say folks are really hurting here (not where i’m sitting– but the ones looking in the window). And for the most part those folks braving the rain think "change you can xerox" isn’t such a fab idea (that includes the repubs in here btw—they actually think hill has a good plan). Working folks need some serious help in here Indy (and all over) and they need it now! And sista says, "very interesting (B.O.)…you tout and wax on about ideas about "new politics" when you’re using more “oldschool” poly machine tactics to get out the vote (not to mention hold up the vote) than anyone has in the last couple of decades. word has it… Daley—yes, that’s the son of “the” Daley; he apparently helped Obama big time!! Maybe there were even some posthumous votes cast for him! Vote early and often as they say in old Chi-town… funny how those votes from Gary, came in much later (even nearby districts seemed to get their acts together—see shoetube ; I watched live at 1AM this morning) and were not released in bundles as the other votes were, once they were counted.

During this time I was in the Hillary victory hall. I stood right behind our gal on those risers when she  gave her speech. She was magnificent, stately and substantive… but where were those votes from Gary? Is Mayor Rudy Clay playing a fast one? CNN’s Wolf Blitzer and John King certainly wanted to know…. (honestly I almost fell out of bed at 1AM from the shock when JK actually pressed Mayor Clay).

Well Indy is done. It’s time to get on the plane in a few…

The folks here are truly lovely and personable. Thanks to all, who have made Sista feel welcome (in fact a bunch of Indy 500 speedway dudes just bought me a cocktail, for “inspiration”). I have heel-toed it from grass roots rallies (literally on the grass) to blue-collar back street sports pubs, to politico DNC dinners, to swank five-star eateries. I have sauntered/ and or limped from good-old-boy \private republican clubs to gay bars… and all of you in the greater Indy environs have been wonderful!

However… a note to the Obamites: clean up your filthy fishbowl of an office!! Not recycling coffee cups and signage is not only anti-green—it’s an eye sore!!

Off to the airport. Thanks again Indy.

New York City— Sorry Louboutin I abandoned your 5″ sexy spikes this evening for an equally chic, but a bit more comfy 4.5″ patent pair of Jimmy Choo booties. A capacity-filling crowd wrapped around 51st Street in Midtown Manhattan and stood anxiously (some, for nearly 1.5 hours) to pass through the gates into Radio City Music Hall. Despite the wait, the mood was boisterous and the company an eclectic mix from NYC and beyond— young, old, men, women, gay and straight folks all showed up to sing along with Elton John and more importantly chant: HILL-AR-Y!!!

The evening began with some rah rah’s from Terry Mc. followed by Bill and Hill who warmly addressed the whooping revelers. Sir ‘Elton then took the stage besequined in tales and bejeweled in diamond studs— he proceeded to rock the house for almost two hours crooning faves like “My Song” and “Norma Jean,” and blew the roof off the place jammin’ “Rocket Man,” “Bennie and the Jets ” and “Crocodile Rock…” Natch he was singing our gal Hillary’s praises all the while. The rousing encore brought all to their feet for an apropos “I’m Still Standing.” And STILL STANDING Hillary is! You go girl!!!

By, buy from the Big Apple. I’m off to Saks they’re having and EXTRA 20% off Sale with free goodies. See you in the shoe dept. — be advised those brilliant blue Louboutins are MINE!!

Have Howard Dean and his corn-crusted cronies forgotten the election debacles of 2002 and 2004? Apparently… They are attempting to double-diss millions of voters in FL and MI, while Hillary Clinton and her crew won’t back down. Hillary stood tall yesterday at a rally in Hillsboro, OR and will keep on standing up for us until she delivers a seated Florida and Michigan delegation.
Another voting disaster in the general election looms for the Dems. THE HORROR!!! I remember what happens if votes don’t count even if Dean’s machine doesn’t!!

In 2004, I was a perky activist who pumped, penned and stumped for Senator John Kerry in his bid for the presidency…

Green?

No, not the daily debate: Do I abstain from purchasing my fave fab Fiji bottled water or just drink tap? It’s the pressing, toe-
pinching question: How do I hire a person for the most prominent, powerful and prestigious position in the world, when his resumé does not show me that he has the experience to stand tall and deliver? So why do the pundits and so-called smart folks think he’s such a shoe-in? Sure, Senator Obama is brilliant and accomplished; I would have loved him to be my philosophy prof, to be sure— but I don’t want to have a philosophical discussion or even a debate about what we might do to reverse the negative spiral that has been spinning out of control in our country. I WANT SOLUTIONS and I want them now.
