I'll be Rocking The Red Pump

As I was doing my blog stroll I landed on Looms, Lids and Layers.  A badge on Rhonda's side bar caught my attention and next thing I know I was signing up and grabbing a badge for our side bar.

Readers, followers and anyone who landed on this page  by mistake click here and sign up! We all know how devastating HIV/AIDS has been to the world community so let's add one more way to the list of ways in which we are already working to increase awareness, find a cure and be in support of those affected (that would be all of us).

Ladies, let's ROCK THE RED PUMP!

 

"While great progress has been made in the area of HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment, women still represent 27% of all new AIDS diagnoses, with African American women accounting for 66% of that group." -theredpumpproject.org

Are you willing to ROCK THE RED PUMP?

Alright

Do I even need to comment?  You already know how happy we are for Aunty/Cousin/Sister/Mentor/Friend/ soon to be scene partner (in our heads) Viola Davis.  Doesn't she look gorgeous?  I wonder what the shoes looked liked...

Congrats Aunty (in our heads).  I'm dreaming big and fierce!  Shout out to Octavia Spencer and all the other beautiful actors who showed up and out at the SAG awards last night.  WEERRKK!

Real Thoughts

Sometimes I'd like to be an asshole.  It's easier to be an asshole.  But assholes ain't pretty and I'm striving for gorgeous here.

Don't judge my real thoughts...

Getting Ready

We are getting ready for season two of Shitty Fabulous Lives THE SERIES so please pardon the lapse in eventful, thought provoking blog posts (yeah I'm stretching it with those adjectives but that's how I do)...  Everything about season two of THE SERIES is going to be so good... at least we think so...

What's going on in your world?

A BANG

A bang that's  fireworks worthy... This is what the new year started with- A BANG!

Or should I say a blast right into business?  There is so much to do and so much to tell...

We are twenty days into the year and I feel like it's already 2013.  It should at least be February considering all we've had to accomplish in the world of Shitty Fabulousness...



In twenty days this is what I have learned:

• Being self taught is so overrated- every time I turn around I need to learn something new because if I don't I'll have to pay someone to do it and you can't pay anyone when you don't have money so it's best to teach yourself and pray for the best... but ugh contracts... it's best not to be self taught in that area...
• Lawyers exist for a reason
• Becoming legal can make one feel as if you could be/ should be locked up at any moment
• Doing business with friends is better than people say it is.  When I get cranky I don't have to pretend I'm not... energy saved when you don't have to pretend
• I am so tired of fuschia but I can't seem to let it go
• Get people to sign on the dotted line ASAP
• Budgets are never correct, I mean even ones that are revised 10 times
• It is possible to do 9284.3 things all at the same time
• Smiling is not overrated

2012 is already showing itself for what it is!  FRUITFUL.

How have the first twenty days been for you?  

P.S. - so many good things are about to be put on sale in The ShittyFab Shop... you are going to want everything in there!  Also season 2 of THE SERIES is going to premiere on April 1, 2012 so watch season 1 while you can...

It's The O One Two (2012)

Do you feel like you get a new start when a new year begins?

Is 2012 a chance to do things you've always said you were going to do but haven't done yet, another opportunity to see the best in others and give the best of yourself, a time to make new commitments and check your progress with those already in place, a moment to get rid of the "ish" you no longer want and embrace all things you do want?

That's exactly how we feel...

Happy New Year!  Looking forward to all that 2012 will bring and all that we will get to share with you... I think we might be feeling change... as in we might be making a few changes very soon.   Stay tuned.

Clink your imaginary glasses with our imaginary glasses and let the twenty twelve festivities begin!

...oh and how did you bring in the new year?  If you tell us, we'll tell you what we were doing...
