Mitzi Moments

about to be bigger than the botkier bag..

By on February 3, 2009 in cuteness kills, keep hope alive, using our powers for good

Okay for all my Gossip Girl obsessed friends, did everybody see that navy brocade skirt that Blair was wearing for the majority of the show last night? HOT. Well turns out that it’s actually a piece from this really exclusive French line called BGN of which my BGB (bestest gay boyfriend) since our more scandalous days at FAMU, Geoffrey Payton happens to be the North American Sales Director. Mmm-hmmm…

So you know as soon as I found that out I had to put a call in to try and work something out (cause that’s what we folks do). And it turns out that the new spring line is here and popping! Unfortunately, its waaaay out of the kid’s budget at the moment, but please feel free to check it out. At least you’ll be able to spot the pieces the next time you see them on the pages of US Weekly and whatnot. http://www.bgn.fr/

Oh and don’t say I ain’t never put you up on nothing!

michelle ain’t wearing mismatched drawers…

Okay I have to take a moment to shout out one of my friends that making the magic happen despite all the drama and confusion going on with this unstable economy… my girl Melissa.

After I don’t know how many years of talking about her love (borderline obsession) of beautiful lingerie and putting my cotton 3-pack loving behind up on to some of the best places to cop cute undies on a budget(trashy.com anyone?), last Thursday Melissa’s e-commerce site Dames And Broads, http://www.damesandbroads.com/ finally went live. WOO HOO!!!
Based on her belief that women have a God given right to look and feel sexy each day (can I get an amen?), Dames and Broads is designed to bring affordable, decadent and wearable internationally designed lingerie to the masses. Read: for all ya’ll who are three steps above Victoria Secret but not exactly ready to part with La Perla cash.
So feel free to finally toss that pair of period drawers with the snapped elastic wasitband in the trash and step your sexy up. You know, Michelle would want you to!

you can bet on that…

Okay seriously? These pinktoes are outta hand, you hear me? Let a little economy crunch come along and they can’t handle the stress AT ALL. Just turning on each other like a barrell of crabs, I tell you.

Why did ‘ole girl show up to her own sister’s wedding reception UNINVITED and then proceed to WHOOP that ass in front of family and guests??? I’m talking old school style- she dragged her sister to the ground, punched her in the head and proceeded to rip out tufts of hair for good measure!
Cause the Lord knows I love Maury as much as the next trash TV obsessed viewer but this right here is damn near beyond Jerry Springer/ trailer park/ coal miner’s daughter type behavior.
Not for nothing, $5 says the sister’s new husband is Annemarie’s ex-boyfriend/ good for nothing baby daddy. And he probably forgot to tell her that they were broken up. Mmm-hmmm, don’t trip. You know you were thinking the same exact thing…

like whiplash…

By on February 2, 2009 in miracle on 169th street, Mitzi- all day every day, using our powers for good

Yo, karma is the truth. Even as all signs were pointing to a no-go for my speaking engagement at Sojourner Truth Middle School last Wednesday- blizzard, bad hair, and oh yeah, the fact that I had no idea why a bunch of middle school kids would give two cents about what I do for a living since I’m not Beyonce or dating Chris Brown.

But instead of opting out, I just thought to myself, ‘What Would Michelle Do?’ and I kept it moving. (You like that, right?)

Well, not only did I end up having a great time with the kids- Lord knows there’s no bigger ego boost than winning over group of pre-teens whose parents sent them to school on a snow day- BUT later on in the day I received an email from my editor at Scholastic. And guess what?

HOTLANTA has offically been selected for not one but TWO of the American Library Association’s 2008 top teen book lists: Quick Picks For Reluctant Readers and Popular Paperbacks (fame &fortune category)!!! Which means- drumroll, please- school librarians nationwide think my teen book series is the fire!!

WOO HOO! Go Mitzi, get busy! Go Denene, it’s ya birfday! WOO HOO!

So if you haven’t already copped your copy of HOTLANTA or it’s sequel, IF ONLY YOU KNEW, now is the time! At $8.99, cheap as hell as a fantabulous read.

knew I should’ve gotten that pedi…

By on January 30, 2009 in mama gotta eat, Mitzi- all day every day

Ever have those days when you doing so much it feels like your feet barely touch the ground? Yet your brain feels soooo slow? Well that’s how this entire past week has been. But let me keep it to myself, nowadays there are plenty of folks who wish they had anything to do besides sitting home.

This morning I was a guest on the Food Network Show, ‘Food Detectives’ featuring Ted Allen. Sounds like fun, right? All the way up until the point where I realized that I would have to be up and out of the crib by 7.15am! Good lord, I am so not a morning person. So if any of you see me looking a tad crazy on air, this is my big disclaimer- can’t nothing good come out of me trying to get dress and do my own hair and make-up before 8am!
Just FYI, the show is airing sometime this spring. Read: I can’t tell you the exact day or time. But I will tell you that I’m barefoot in a kiddie pool…
