#WeAreOrlando: MTV To Air Special True Life Episode Dedicated To Pulse Shooting Survivors
Honoring the survivors and victims of the Pulse Nightclub Massacre June 12, MTV will be premiering a special True Life series titled, We Are Orlando. Set to premiere on August 15, four survivors will open up about how they are mentally and physically rehabilitating after the traumatic event.
Tony Marrero, 32, who was shot four times, reveals how he was able to escape but shared in the documentary that he lost his best friend, Luis Velma, 22. "People think that because I got released from the hospital and I'm in rehab right now, that I'm OK. I'm not OK, and [it's] not only physical. I can't even start with mentally," Marrero told MTV's production crew.
Also featured in the episode are Joshua McGill, Patience Carter, and Tiara Parker. Patience and Tiara lost their best friend and cousin Akyra Murray during the shooting and Joshua, fortunately, left the Pulse premises as soon as he heard gunshots but came back to help victims who had been shot.
Watch how their lives are unfolding in the trailer for We Are Orlando, below.

10 Times BET (And Other Networks) Threw Shade
If you're going to throw shade, you want it to be epic, especially if you're throwing shade on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and other forms of highly visible social media. Shade is the not so secret key ingredient to countless diss tracks, Twitter beefs, and celebrity feuds. There's no magic formula, but the right amount of shade can also translate to countless views, likes, retweets, follows and overall activity all up in your mentions (not to mention, news stories on all of the entertainment shows).
No one is safe from the shade. I repeat. No one is safe from the shade. Case in point: TV networks are even getting in on the action. Whether they're dissing other channels or fellow competitors, awards show performances or rehashing old celebrity beef, numerous popular TV networks have proven that they're perfectly capable of stirring the pot with epic shade and disses. Sometimes the disses work, other times, they backfire. Here are some prime examples of shade thrown from the most unexpected of places–your favorite networks.

First Look: "MTV's True Life: I Had My Cousin's Baby"
Since its debut in 1998, MTV's "True Life" has remained an award-winning success by unveiling the unconventional lives of young people across the United States. Still living up to the hype in its 2016 season, "True Life's" latest episode: "I Had My Cousin's Baby" will follow two women who decided to pursue romantic relationships and become pregnant by their cousins.
One of the women featured in the episode is Alexis (pictured above). She is six months pregnant with her cousin Andrew's baby and while she prepares for motherhood, she is also trying to collect bail for him. As she petitions their family members to help with the fee, Alexis feels hopeless because they cannot ignore the nature of her relationship with Andrew.
While Alexis struggles for her family's help and approval, another woman named Grace has decided to move across the country to Los Angeles with her husband/cousin Dylan and their two children. Since their marriage has severely fractured their other family relations, the two hope their marriage and family will receive acceptance in the West.
But will it?
Below is the sneak peek of the episode. Be sure to tune in on MTV on December 31, 2015, to catch the full episode.

#TBT: Amazing MTV Unplugged Perfomances You Forgot About
In 1989, MTV debuted their critically acclaimed show, MTV Unplugged! The series was centered on award-winning musicians performing their music without using amplified instruments (such as the electric guitar or synthesizer).
Two years after the Unplugged series began, Paul McCartney recorded and released his "unplugged" performance, becoming the first major artist to release an MTV Unplugged album for the series. Thanks to him, fans received the opportunity to purchase the savory acoustic renditions of featured artists' performances.
Since it's #ThrowbackThursday and we're being thankful, reacquaint yourself with the performances that made MTV Unplugged an iconic phenomenon. You'll also see how much your favorite artists have changed over the years, too!
The West Wing: 10 Things That Would Happen If Kanye West Were President
It's safe to say that the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards was a hilarious disaster. But the night's biggest moment came from Kanye West. He captured all of (ok, some of) America's heart thanks to a rant without a streamlined focus. When he wrapped up, he made a bold and hilarious announcement.
"I don't know what I'm finna lose after this," West said. "It don't matter, though; It's not about me. It's about ideas. New ideas. People with ideas. People who believe in truth. And yes, as you probably could've guessed by this moment, I have decided in 2020 to run for president."
Since there are plenty of presidential candidates who lack political experience throwing their hat in the ring, why not Ye? Think about how America would transform into a country built on ideas, fresh sneaks and would no longer be a slave to brands and megacompanies. If Kanye West has your vote, here are 10 amusing things that would happen if he was to take over the oval office in 2020.

Tragedy: How Kanye West Reduced His Entire Career To The Taylor Swift Incident
I had no legitimate reason to watch the MTV VMAs last night. In fact, not having cable, I went through a bit of trouble to actually do so. And honestly, it just wasn't worth it…at all. There were some noteworthy moments like Justin Beiber crying. (I still root for him.) Fetty Wap not bothering to show up for the Artist to Watch award and of course Kanye West's acceptance speech for the Vanguard Award.
In case you missed it, you can listen to the 12 minute speech in the video below. And while you will regret it later, you should do so just to get an understanding of what actually happened and how bizarre and disheartening it really was. (I'll also include a transcript on the next page; but beware, it does it no justice.)
When it was all said and done, I laughed at the absurdity and then I shook my head in confusion, then later in sadness and disappointment.
In my mind, I thought Kanye would perform, acknowledge the Taylor Swift bull but spend more time and energy talking to us about the passion and purpose behind his artistry. Never did I imagine that there would be no performance but that Kanye West, a musical genius in our midst, would reduce his entire career to the Taylor Swift incident and not being liked.
I'm not going to pretend that we all don't worry, ridiculously, about being liked. It's just human nature. But throughout his entire speech, I just kept asking myself not liked by who though? If I remember correctly, it was mostly mainstream White folks who were upset the big Black man made the pretty little blonde hair, blue eyed White girl sad. Black people knew that Kanye was both right and wrong.
Right in the sense that Beyoncé did deserve that award and wrong because he shouldn't have been the one to tell her that, in that manner. But there was validity in his statement. And, as he mentioned in his speech, it worked wonders for MTV and pop culture. And catapulted Taylor into a level of stardom she might not have enjoyed without him.
Black people knew and still know that Kanye is arrogant. No one believes in him or herself more than Kanye West. And while I'm sure that irks the hell out of some people, it's one of the things I love most about Kanye. He is a genius. And in recognizing his own gifts, he should be able to say that. But a Black man proclaiming his own excellence is not only irritating, it's threatening to White people. That, in combination with Taylor Swift, made him so deplorable. And if he were disliked because of that, it's certainly something he should have to apologize for. Still, I don't know that many people who don't like him. Granted, I'm mostly around Black people…but most of them not only recognize Kanye's talent, they root for him to win. We know he's eccentric, like most creatives are, but we also know that Kanye is going to produce. I abhorred the "30 Showers" comment and swore the Kanye I knew and loved had left us for good. And then "All Day" came out. And I had to acknowledge his greatness once again.
My sister literally calls him Cousin Kanye because even when he does some off the wall things, we still regard him as family. We all have family members who act a fool but at the end of the day, it's still love.
And just like I would be with any family member, I'm glad that Kanye recognized the error in his ways with the Taylor Swift situation. But he's apologized on several different occasions, publicly and privately. It's so over. Which is why it hurts me to know that when he had the opportunity to speak about his greatness, about his actual talent, a fact none of us can deny, he made it about Taylor again.
Anyone who's been watching the award show since the Taylor Swift/Kanye incident, can tell you that it is always about her. Her awkward dance moves, her shady reactions to Justin Beiber, her performances, and her "you-really-like-me?" shocked face when she cleans up year after year with the most moon man trophies. I thought since Kanye had the chance to speak about himself and his art, he would take the opportunity to do so. If not that, perhaps, with it being the tenth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, he would have taken the time to remind us of the days when he told us all, so prophetically, that George Bush didn't care about Black people. That was true. And it needed to be said. But these days, living in the Kardashian cog, Kanye is not so concerned about race anymore. He believes classism is the new racism.
Classism is an issue. It certainly was in Katrina. But let's not pretend that they don't work hand in hand. Particularly when Black people are disproportionately jobless, underemployed and living in poverty.
Perhaps it's unrealistic for me to expect so much. But the absolute last thing I thought I was going to watch was Kanye West pandering to White people who never really got it in the first place.
For those who can't watch the video right now, check out Kanye's full speech on the next page.

Remember That Time Beyoncé Announced Her Pregnancy? 15 Epic VMA Moments
The 2015 MTV Video Music Awards is right around the corner, and if the promos are any indications, the show is probably going to one of the most talked about television events of the summer. The VMAs are where both big moments happen and stars are made. Let's take a look at 15 of the most epic VMA moments, ever.
Show 'Em How It's Done: Nicki Minaj Will Open The MTV VMAs
When Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" music video was not included in MTV's VMA nominations for Video of the Year, Onika was not a happy camper.
The rapper explained her disappointment in their choice tweeting, "If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year. I'm not always confident. Just tired. Black women influence pop culture so much, but are rarely rewarded for it."
Aside from her sentiments on the so-called "snub," Nicki hasn't written MTV off. According to the network, the Head Barb in Charge will kick off Sunday night's show with a special performance.
Minaj opened the VMAs last year with a cheeky performance of "Anaconda" and a melodic performance of "Bang Bang" alongside Ariana Grande and Jessie J. There has been no word on what Nicki's set will include, but we're sure she's going to bring it.
The 2015 MTV VMAs will air live on Sunday at 9 p.m. ET.

Nicki Minaj Skirts Race Issue Discussing VMA Firestorm On GMA
When Nicki Minaj expressed her frustration about MTV failing to nominate "Anaconda" for video of the year, we immediately assumed she referencing an issue of race. MTV has a very long history of pushing Black artists and other artist of color into the margins.
The story dominated the news cycle, particularly when Taylor Swift came out asking Nicki why she was coming for her, when she had been nothing but supportive. You know the mainstream is always here for Taylor's victimization.
But before her performance on ABC's "Good Morning America," Nicki addressed the Twitter discussion. And her comments made us wonder if this was about race at all…
Read the excerpts and then watch the entire interview below.
Well, first of all I spoke to Taylor Swift yesterday on the phone. She was super, super sweet and she apologized. She said, 'You know look, I didn't understand the big picture of what you were saying but now I get it.'
So we're all good.
I was just saying– I posted something on my Instagram and it just showed the stats of other videos that had been nominated previously and there just seemed to be a little funny business going on.
"Anaconda" had such a huge cultural impact and on top of that we broke the Vevo record. So, this is actually my third time breaking the Vevo record and Anaconda, therefore should have been nominated for it. And I do think that if it was one of the pop girls, they would have had many nominations for it.
I think I got two nominations for Anaconda for female and for hip hop but it should have been for the year.
I think that we just have to have both images for girls. We can't have only one type of body being glorified in the media because it just makes girls even more insecure than we already are.
In addition to mentioning body type and pop in her initial Twitter rants, she also said:
"I'm not always confident. Just tired. Black women influence pope culture so much but are rarely rewarded for it."
She later deleted that tweet.
During her comments this morning, she softened her language a little bit, referencing body types and pop vs. rap. It's coded and watered down a bit for the White folks but the implications are still the same. Pop= White, Rap= Black. Slim bodies = White girls. Thicker bodies=Black girls.
But maybe the predominately White crowd and White host weren't ready for the race talk.
What do you think about Nicki's explanation on GMA? Do you think people will understand the greater, deeper, racial implications behind her message or will they be lost in the sauce?

The International Committee for the Study of Infantile Paralysis was organized in 1928 through a grant of a quarter of a million dollars by Jeremiah Milbank. The committee, under the leadership of William H. Park, consisted of thirteen representatives from the United States and one from England.

Beautiful teeth can really enhance a person's appearance. But great teeth go beyond sheer vanity. They are an important part of your overall health and well-being.
"The health of your mouth is like a barometer for the health of the rest of your body," said Dr. Elizabeth Nunez, director of the Dental Education Program in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Dentistry.
"We know there is a higher incidence of smoking and diabetes in the Veteran population," says Dr. Nunez, herself an Army Veteran. Both of these are risk factors for poor oral health. Smoking can lead to an increased risk for periodontal, or gum, disease - a leading cause of tooth loss and sensitivity. Apart from causing bad breath and stained teeth, smoking also causes delayed healing after a tooth is removed or other oral surgery.
According to Nunez, there has been research showing a link between diabetes and gum disease, so diabetic Veterans should be extra attentive to their oral care.
Age also increases the likelihood of oral health problems and Veterans tend to be older than the general population. Older Veterans tend to take more medications, many of which cause dry mouth. Dry mouth increases the risk of tooth decay because it decreases the protective properties of saliva.
Learn if You Are Eligible for VA Dental Care (PDF)
Among the conditions Nunez commonly treats in older Veterans are cavities - especially around the roots of teeth - gum disease and associated tooth loss. She also treats oral cancer lesions. "The good news is that we work as an integrated team in the VA," said Nunez. "If a primary care provider first identifies a lesion, he or she can notify a dentist, who can step in and help."
The other good news is that most oral disease is preventable. Nunez recommends following these Do's and Don'ts to keep your teeth and mouth healthy and looking good:
Brush and Floss. Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Use a between-the-teeth cleaner, such as dental floss, to remove food and plaque that a toothbrush could miss. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush, which is gentler on the gums and tooth structure. Replace your toothbrush every three to four months - sooner if the brush bristles start to fray or you are recovering from a cold or illness.
Eat a balanced diet. A balanced, nutrient-rich diet is important for healthy teeth and gums. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, fish and whole grains.
Limit between-meal snacks. If you must snack, choose foods that are nutritious and low in sugar.
Get regular checkups. Get a dental exam at least once a year. Veterans with dental problems should see the dentist more often.
Smoke or use tobacco products. Combined with drinking alcohol, tobacco use increases your risk of getting diseases that compromise your oral health.
Use illegal drugs. People who use drugs are prone to neglect their oral hygiene. They also tend to have more sugary diets. Not doing drugs is the smart choice for your health on every level.
Drink soda. Regular soda is full of sugar. And like regular soda, diet soda is very acidic. Too much acid in your diet erodes the enamel on your teeth, which can lead to tooth decay. Replace soda with a much healthier option - water.
Put things in your mouth. Habits such as holding pins in your mouth when you are sewing can damage your teeth. So can tongue rings or other piercings, which can hit against your teeth and chip them.
Information and tools on My HealtheVet can help you eat better, quit smoking and take better care of yourself. Recording all of the medications you take will make it easier to share this information with your dentist. You also can keep track of your dental appointments and what you eat each day.
Take stock of your oral health today - and keep smiling.

2. Sort apps by name, date and size.
3. Fast app uninstall
4. Run, install, share or check details of apps
5. Cool apps recommendation to help you meet with more amazing apps.
Default Please add categories (installed sd/phone. Maybe also grid view? It feels like a lot of wasted space with list. Super awesome would be if you could integrate it with your task manager. Like showing us what apps have a process running.
It needs an option for confirmation dialog... It needs an option for confirmation dialog, it's kind annoying i had to delete the file that i've already had in the phone, rather than replace the same name, it appends to "(2)" it really needs confirmation dialong. By the way, the web apps in chrome isn't working as it should be, the cookie doesn't work, i had to login every time i'm using the apps.
Poor System 1)No ability to show versions... 2)No Option For show INSTALLED APK & UNINSTALLED APK.... 3) Poor Custome.... :-So if u want to impress Google users, then update with this facilities.
pointless not sure how this app is differet from my default android app manager. It just list all your apps in one panel and gives you the same options as what you have already.
I'm not quite sure what this app does that the built-in task manager doesn't... except maybe not keeping the sort order when you go back to the list. Useless.
Nice app manager Unlike many I have tried this allows some built in apps to be disabled. This greatly improved battery life and reduced data usage. I love this app.

It's in the screen options, where you set the boundaries of your screen. during the process you can change the position of the subs in there.

Men, they should really indicate that you can press the (A) there.
I thought it was just that first option

Batman: Arkham City Cheats
Does anyone else intend to get the PC version?
[Edited by fullmetal5550, 10/15/2011 12:01:57 AM]
I just checked GameStop and it seems that the PC version of Batman: Arkham City is now set for November 15th. I had heard that they pushed it back into November but why almost a month after the release of the console version? I am now kinda worried that there might be something wrong with the PC version of the game.
Does anyone else intend to get the PC version?
[Edited by fullmetal5550, 10/15/2011 12:01:57 AM]
I have pre-ordered it since I thoroughly enjoyed Arkham Asylum.
The reason for such a delay could be optimizing issues...Like the game lags all of a sudden or there might be issues regarding texture rendering. Maybe the developers have ported the game from the consoles?
Who would prefer a ton of patches/updates over a one-month delay? I certainly wouldn't.
i bought it!

Seaside Chic: 5 Coastal Accessories to Add Summery Style to Any Space
scandinavian beach house (1), a nice way to incorporate a sense of location within their space. Or you can pair a modern table with a technical chart (2) for a light and airy aesthetic. 2. Palm Fronds – Your locale doesn't have to be in the Caribbean in order to utilize palm plants or cut palm fronds. For a dramatic look, do what India Hicks did in her Harbour Island residence (3) and put large cut palm fronds in oversized vases. To achieve a sleek vibe, do what designer Blaire Gordon did in this Key West kitchen (4) : take a single palm frond and place it prominently in a modern vase. 3. Coral – It's a trend that's still going strong in the design world. Adding touches of natural curiosities to your tablescapes bring an organic, uniquely seaside aesthetic. And coral is slightly less blatant then shell collections, which can verge into tacky territory. Joan, from the blog For the Love of a House, intentionally adds fan coral to her mantel (5) in the summertime. If displaying coral on the mantel feels too overt, casually incorporate it into your coffee table display (6). 4. Straw Hats – Chances are you own a few straw hats that you only really wear at the beach or in the garden. Why not put them on display? Either stagger a few choice hats (7) on the wall or pile a bunch of them together in an artful grouping (8). 5. Sailor or Fisherman Art – Some call it kitsch, others see it as playful decor. Regardless, there's a lot of funny fisherman art out there complete with the sailor pipes and full bearded portraits of burly men at sea. For a sophisticated take on this theme, pair a sailor painting with a rustic frame (10) like designer Ken Faulk did in his Massachusetts cottage. Or go the whimsical, humorous route and take a kitschy fisherman portrait and put in the context of your formal living space the way Lauren Liess did in her house (9). (Images: 1. House Beautiful, 2.

Admit when mistakes are madeJune 26,2013
Admit when mistakes are made
These days its all about covering your butt in life. Everybody and every organization is primarily concerned with covering their butts and not much else.
The ridiculous fiasco playing itself out in Brattleboro with John Grega is an example. If the Brattleboro lawyers who represent the state and who brought this case to begin with dont have any new evidence against Grega and they are planning on prosecuting him twice for the same crime for which he was already found guilty and spent 18 years in prison, then what is this all about?
The new evidence is the DNA that Gregas lawyers found that proved a reasonable doubt that he killed his wife. So, now its about covering somebodys butt. Somebody screwed up.
Another case is the governors land deal. The administration is in full tilt cover-your-butt mode on this one, too. Just give the land back to the guy already. Somebody screwed up, and now theyre working overtime to cover their butts.
Lastly, Major League Baseball and their flawed steroids policy. The latest MLB witch hunt on the biogenesis clinic, with Anthony Bosch supposedly ready to testify against a number of players using illegal substances is being dragged out and the MLB is covering its butts. If they have a case against A-Rod and Braun, then show us the evidence and move on already.
Stop covering your butts in life and admit it when you screw up.

Seasonal Party IdeasRSS Feed
Looking for some cute Easter activities for kids? As hard as it may be to believe, Easter is going to be here before we know it. For many families, this is the time when all the kids get together and have a fun day of family games and crafts. Since Easter usually involves lots of children of various ages, it is important that you think ahead and have a plan together to make sure all the kids involved have fun throughout the day, and even the days prior if you want to get your own kids assisting. Below, we included some of our favorite Easter activities that are perfect for kids of all ages!
Easter Activities for Kids: Baking
For many kids, nothing is more fun than making treats in the kitchen with mom and dad, especially if they know they get to enjoy them later with family and friends. One of the most simple baking activities that kids love is being able to decorate their own cupcakes. Instead of just having kids put just icing on cupcakes, find religious themed sprinkles or even sprinkles with a fun Easter theme. As well, decorate the cupcake with fun Easter themed cupcake toppers and skirts to give them a fun and festive look before putting them in cupcake boxes. Older kids may also enjoy making their own Easter themed candy in the shape of crosses, eggs, and Easter bunnies!
Easter Activities for Kids: Jewelry
Another classic Easter activity for kids is making jewelry. Since Easter is mostly a religious holiday, many families like to remind children that it is more than just looking for Easter eggs and getting a cute basket from the Easter bunny. Rather than focus on a sermon for young children, it may be more effective to tell them the story of Christ as they make cross jewelry, teaching them the importance of the cross and why many Christians wear it as jewelry. Today, you can even find many individually pre-packaged craft activities where kids can make their own religious charm bracelets or cross necklaces in their favorite style. Best of all, these crafts are very inexpensive, allowing you to purchase a variety of different jewelry craft sets for all the kids at your family Easter event.
Easter Activities for Kids: Games
Of course, it wouldn't be Easter without an Easter egg hunt, and outdoor Easter games. Kids love being able to color their own eggs and then find them later. Older kids are even more motivated if they know there are plastic eggs hiding somewhere with little treats or money. What many people don't think about, however, are what games they are going to play after the Easter egg hunt. Many kids enjoy all types of field day games, including potato sack hops and even ring tosses. To make things even more fun for kids, have games that the whole family can play together, allowing everyone to play outdoors together. With the right planning, it's easy to make Easter fun for everyone!
Looking for some activities to keep kids busy this Thanksgiving? While this is obviously a holiday for family, sometimes kids can be impatient, especially as parents are busy cooking in the kitchen or enjoying time catching up on family news with other adults. While this is a lot of fun for adults, children, especially if they are sitting with other adults and not at a children's table, can easily get bored and distracted. Luckily, we know the perfect activities to keep them busy this Thanksgiving. Not only are these activities fun, but are a great way for children to interact with other children at your family get together!
Thanksgiving Activities for Kids: Craft Activities
Want to keep kids busy and nearby while adults are finishing up preparing (or eating) Thanksgiving dinner? One of the best ways to keep kids happy and having fun is by helping them make cute Thanksgiving theme crafts. This can be as simple as helping them make construction paper turkeys or making Thanksgiving theme bracelets. Fall leaves is also a great Thanksgiving theme for craft project ideas. These crafts can be as complicated as you like. Just make sure the craft projects you choose are appropriate for the age of children who will be attending your Thanksgiving dinner. Also, don't forget that you can also turn this into a time for kids to make other holiday items, such as making Christmas ornaments or homemade gifts for their parents for Christmas!
Thanksgiving Activities for Kids: Outdoor Games
Depending on where you live and the weather, outdoor games can also be a great way to keep kids busy and happy while adults enjoy Thanksgiving. While you can order inflatable ball pits or bounce houses, they usually aren't necessary to keep kids happy. To make set up and clean up as easy as possible, however, we do recommend having inflatable games. You can find easy games for kids of all ages such as inflatable obstacle courses and even ring tosses. If you have the room, you can even have a miniature soccer or football game to keep kids busy and active after a large meal!
Thanksgiving Activities for Kids: Board Games
Looking for something the entire family can do together or some of the adults can do with children at the party? Don't forget about classic board games! You can find board games that are perfect for the entire family to play, ranging from card games to classic family games like Monopoly. Just make sure you find things that kids can play on their own or with the assistance of older kids if you want this to be fun kids' time! To make things even more fun, consider having unique toy prizes that kids can win for winning the most games!
Is this your child's first or second Halloween? For many families, Halloween is the perfect time to dress up and have fun. The problem with many of the costumes out there for toddlers, however, is that with how quickly they grow, the costume you bought earlier in the month may no longer fit your child, or it's too cold on Halloween for them to actually wear said costume. Rather than pay for an expensive costume that your child may not even be able to wear, many parents have decided to go with homemade or semi-homemade costumes that are simple and allow their child to still wear fairly normal clothes as they go trick or treating with older siblings. You may even be surprised how easy many of these costumes are to make for toddlers!
Easy Halloween Costume for Toddlers: Clown
For many parents, nothing is easier and cuter than having their child look like a rainbow clown for Halloween. Not only are these costumes really cute on a little one, they are very easy for parents to put together without spending a great deal of money. For this costume, all you will need is some face paint and a rainbow clown wig. It is easy to find clown wigs this time of year, and sometimes even big red clown noses. To make your child look like a true carnival clown, use a fine brush and safe face paint to paint decorations like circles, stars and triangles on your child's cheeks. For an even sillier look add a clip on bow tie for fun!
Easy Halloween Costume for Toddlers: Fairy
If you would like a Halloween costume that is a bit more girly, don't forget that this is the perfect time of year to help your child look like a cute little princess or fairy. Many parents love going with a fairy theme, since it can be as simple or complex as they like. For those who would like a simpler costume, all you have to do is give your daughter a beautiful set of fairy or butterfly-style wings in her size, and a magic wand. By going this route, your child can wear whatever clothes you like, allowing them to be as warm or cool as they would like, weather permitting. You can also add a tutu, flowered skirt, or other cute accessories to give this outfit the finishing touches to help your daughter look like a real fairy!
Easy Halloween Costume for Toddlers: Superhero
Another cute Halloween costume that is perfect for boys and girls alike are superhero costumes. With these movies so popular for the last several years, it is very easy to find superhero sweatshirts, t-shirts, and other clothing made for children and adults of all ages. To add the finishing touches to a superhero costume for toddlers, make sure to get a superhero costume kit, which usually includes a cape and mask. If this doesn't work, you can find masks in the form of sunglasses for toddlers. For children who are uncomfortable wearing anything over their face, you can also use washable paint to paint a little mask around their eyes, allowing your toddler to look like a miniature of their favorite superhero!
Are you planning on bringing your kids to the beach this summer? While the beach can be a lot of fun, it can also be very overwhelming for children. Not only is there a huge ocean to play in, but lots of people coming and going. To make sure that your trip is as stress free as possible, it is important that you plan out the day, making sure that kids are having as much fun as possible and not getting bored or overwhelmed. Luckily, with the right plans, you can keep kids busy with a variety of fun beach activities!
Build A Sand Castle
If it is your child's first time to the beach, building a sand castle is a must! Children love being able to work with friends or even their parents to create a fun sand castle that they can show off to all their friends. Before going to the beach, remember to bring at least a bucket, shovel, and any sculpting tools you think you will need for building your special castle. Just make sure to bring a waterproof camera too since the water and other people can accidentally damage a sand castle before you have the time to get your cellphone or a proper camera from the car. Kids will love to look at their special creation once they are home from the beach, preserving the memory with a fun picture!
Play Sports
While swimming is one thing that many kids love, many of them don't want to stay in the water all day. For younger kids, playing fun beach ball games is almost a must. You can do anything ranging from simple volleyball to playing kick ball on the beach. Since beach balls come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and designs, you can find the perfect one for your children. You can even find colorful, animated character beach balls, making kids even more excited to get up and play! For older kids, don't forget about other traditional games, depending on what is available at that beach, possibly including volleyball, basketball, frisbee golf or more! Just make sure to check online to see what your intended beach offers before arriving.
Exploring The Beach
Do you have a child that is curious about nature and everything around them? You can use this curiosity to your advantage by having children learn about the beach itself by collecting sea shells, looking at fish, and even various plants that live in the ocean. While it isn't recommended to take fish and animals from the beach itself, you can bring home empty seashells and other little items collected from the beach itself. Kids will love being able to go home and show their friends all the neat things they collected during their trip to the beach!
Did you know that July is National Ice Cream Month? Not only is this the time of the year where you can find killer ice cream sales, but an excuse to enjoy ice cream with your children. I mean, how many times can you say you have an excuse to finish an entire quart of ice cream in one sitting? While it may not be worth it calorie wise, the smiles all around make it worth the extra exercise later. So, what could be more fun than enjoying ice cream outside with your kids? Well, an ice cream party, of course!
Really Its National Ice Cream Month?
So what is National Ice Cream Month? it is a fun day where everyone can enjoy one of their favorite treats guilt free. This fun little celebration started on July 14, 1984, when President Ronald Reagan declared the month of July to be devoted to ice cream with a presidential proclamation. Since then it has been celebrated all throughout the US with fun ice cream events and amazing sales from the various ice cream makers. In other words, it gives us an excuse to enjoy this delicious dessert with our friends and family!
Food Ideas At Your Ice Cream Party
Of course, you can't have an ice cream party without ice cream. For a great party, we recommend a variety of different types of ice cream, definitely including ice cream sandwiches. Since all of us like to eat things other than ice cream, at least every once in a while, traditional grilling and BBQ foods are great as well - who doesn't enjoy hot dogs and hamburgers before digging into the ice cream? To cut down on the mess, however, we do recommend getting some ice cream themed tableware for the party. Putting an ice cream table cloth on a picnic bench with cute cups and plates turns a boring picnic into a fun ice cream party for your entire family!
Games & Prizes
What is a party without games and prizes? Just like any party, you can find fun ice cream themed games, ranging from bean bag tosses to piñatas - no need to make the ice cream eating contest official! If weather allows, have some of your other favorite games there as well, including board games. To go along with the theme, however, make sure to have ice cream-themed prizes for the kids, like jewelry, toys, or even yummy looking school supplies that kids can use once they go back to school in August or September. Just make sure your prizes are age appropriate, and remember the fun ice cream bags so kids can carry their cool prizes home after the party. Kids will have so much fun at your ice cream party, don't be surprised if they want to have them throughout the month of July!
Do you have a little girl who loves ladybugs? While most girls aren't too crazy about most bugs, this beautiful red and black insect is one of the few that girls most girls can agree is cute. Over the past few years ladybugs have actually gotten so popular that many little girls even want to have a cute ladybug birthday party. Luckily, these parties are not only are these parties cute but very easy to set up, allowing you to make the perfect party for your daughter and her friends!
Ladybug Decorations
What is a birthday party without decorations? Like many other party themes, it is easy to find ladybug party decorations as long as you know where to look. One of our favorite decorations is actually something you might never consider - a ladybug piñata. This adorable piñata looks like an oversized cartoon bug, perfect to be filled with small ladybug toys and candies. If you are having a hard time finding the right decorations, just go with black and red decorations in streamers and other decorations you want for your party. With the right preparations it will be easy to make your room look perfect for any little ladybug!
Ladybug Tableware
Like any party, cute tableware is the key to bringing your party table together! While a cute ladybug cake is obviously a key element of the birthday table, you should also have other decorations. With kids going about at the party, we recommend not trying to use good dishes or things you will have to wash later. This can lead to not only mess, but all too often broken dishes as well. Avoid the stress and consider getting ladybug themed paper tableware. This will not only reduce after-party stress, but leave your table looking even cuter, especially when kids are eating birthday cake from cute ladybug dessert plates. If you do decide to forgo the cake and do cupcakes, don't forget that you can also buy cute ladybug cupcake picks and decorations as well for cupcakes!
Ladybug Costumes
Of course, most little girls love to play dress up, especially at their own birthday party. One of the easiest ways to make your little girl feel special on her big day is letting her dress up with her own ladybug wing and headband set. These sets look similar to fairy wings, but look like your daughter's favorite black and red insect. Mix this with ladybug themed jewelry and your daughter can be a special ladybug princess at her birthday party. Since these sets are fairly inexpensive you can even buy one for each girl at the party without spending a fortune! Just make sure when you send out invitations that people RSVP so you know exactly how many of these cute sets to buy!
Looking for the perfect Father's Day Gift? Everyone can agree, being a Dad is hard work and comes with quite a few sacrifices to make sure their family is happy. To celebrate the importance of being a Dad, we all love to spoil Dad on this special day. One of the hardest things, however, is finding that perfect gift for him that will make him truly light up when he opens his Father's Day gifts. Knowing that many of us struggle, we included some of what considered the perfect gifts for Father's Day.
Father's Day Gifts: Homemade Cards
Want to make a fun, unique card that Dad is sure to love? Forget those expensive Hallmark cards and go with something he will truly cherish - a card made by his children. Many guys love getting those special, handmade items from their kids and showing them off at work after Father's Day. Best of all, these crafts don't even need to be fancy - all you need are craft materials, like glitter, glue, markers, and construction paper. If you want to do something truly unique, you can even help your children make a wearable card, by making a Father's Day t-shirt for your favorite dad using fabric paint and markers.
Father's Day Gifts: Collectable Figures
Along with more traditional gifts, you can also give Dad something neat that he can bring with him to the office or display at home. Everyone guy has unique hobbies, from bowling to fishing. One of the best ways you can show Dad that you care is with a fun collectible figure. If you have a dad that loves to fish, consider going with a fun figure showing a cartoon guy fishing. For Dads that love comic books, consider going with something unique showing off their favorite superhero. The sky is truly the limit and kids can have fun trying to find the perfect item that they think is perfect for their own dad!
Father's Day Gifts: Gift Sets
If all else fails, you can also go with more traditional gifts, including gift sets. Many stores sells gift sets special for dad. These gifts sets can centre around just about anything from cologne to beef jerky. It is easy to find the perfect gift for your budget - and what you think is perfect for the dad in your life. To make these generic gift sets more personal, consider going with a unique gift bag or gift box. Some kids may even enjoy decorating their own gift bags using markers. For older kids, consider going with gift bags in your father's favorite colors, or going with a traditional blue bag. With a fun gift bag, you can have Dad trying to guess all day what fun gift he will be getting from his favorite child!
Looking for the perfect gifts for Mother's Day? While it may be customary for adults to buy gifts for mom, many children's love making unique gifts that are straight from the heart. While they don't have a lot of money, they have enough love and creativity to make what can easily be the perfect gift for any mom. Even though kids have quite a few ideas, it is sometimes up to Dad to help kids when it comes to making gifts for mom, especially if they are wanting to keep it a secret. Below, we have some of our personal favorite gifts that every mom will love!
Mother's Day Gifts: Desserts
Of course, most mom's love the idea of getting something baked special for them. While Dad may have to help with the cupcakes, kids will love being able to decorate them with specialty cupcakes skirts or even colored sprinkles and sugar. Of course, if kids want to be really creative, they can also make homemade cookies and decorate them to look perfect for Mother's Day. To add that finishing touch to baked desserts, just place them in decorated cupcake boxes or bags to make them look pre-wrapped for mom! If you are planning on making baked treats, just make sure that small children have the help of an adult before any baking takes place!
Mother's Day Gifts: Homemade Gifts
Many mom's also enjoy getting homemade gifts just in time for Mother's Day. If mom loves to take photos, consider making a magnetic photo holder so she can proudly dispaly her family photos. While this may seem like a very simple craft project, it will be something mom will treasure forever. For families with multiple children, you can also make craft project that are a little more difficult. Such as painting a butterfly (or other shape) photo holder together or even making a special bird house that mom can watch outdoors. With so many different craft projects available kids can easily make the perfect gift for mom for Mother's Day!
Mother's Day Gifts: Cards
Probably the most classic gift that all mom's cherish is a special card made by her children. Cards are inexpensive since they can be made using minimal craft supplies. To get started, all kids need is construction paper or poster board to make the card itself. From there, they can use markers to write a special message for mom on the card. Once the card is finished, they can then decorate it using a variety of craft supplies, ranging from glitter to decorative stickers. Since cards are so easy to make, they go great with just about any homemade gift or treat!
Want to have a special luau for kids? With summer being right around the corner, it isn't too shocking that many of us are wanting an excuse to have outdoor parties and play outside. Kids especially love the idea if it means they have an excuse to play in the pool or have a fun party with all the kids in the neighborhood. What is even more fun about a luau is that you can have two parties going on at once, one for children and one for adults who are enjoying a fun barbeque and a night of cocktails. You may even be surprised at how easy it is to have a fun luau that the whole family can enjoy together!
Luau for Kids: Pool Toys
Of course, one of the best parts of a luau party is being able to play in the pool or at the beach. There are many cool luau themed pool toys, including rafts and floating toys. One of the coolest things that many kids enjoy, however are toys that allow them to have soda and other fun drinks in the pool. This allows kids to have a way of getting their favorite drink without leaving the pool, allowing adults to watch children and enjoy time in the water themselves. Of course, kids can easily have hours of fun in the pool with pool toys such as water guns and beach balls. Just make sure you have activities planned ahead of time to keep kids busy!
Luau for Kids: Costumes
Even though many people don't think about it, many children associate luaus with Hawaiian dancers or hula girls. For this reason, many little girls love to pretend they are hula girls, wearing costumes and flowered leis just like these tropical girls. These costumes are fairly inexpensive and a great way to get kids having fun at your party. Since they go great with bathing suits, they are perfect for everyone. As well, consider having straw hats available to all the kids, especially if you have a yard or play area where they will be out in the sun.
Luau for Kids: Decorations
Even though we may not think about it, decorations can easily turn a boring pool party into an exciting luau. This can be as simple as decorating your deck with beautiful flower garland or even giving your outdoor patio table a touch of Hawaii with a grass skirt. If you are planning on bringing your party into the night, you can also purchase Tiki lanterns and torches that run on smokeless oil to keep everyone enjoying the party even after the sun goes down.
Luau for Kids: Games
Of course, one of the best parts of having a luau for kids is a variety of party games. Kids love playing classic games like ring toss and wooden ring drop games. You can also take advantage of your pool by making your own unique games. For example, purchasing Hawaiian themed rubber duckies and having a large pool game. Just place all the ducks in your pool and having children find numbered ducks. You can also purchase inflatable pool games like a ring or ball toss game. Not only can they keep the ducks they 'catch' but can get a cool prize pack with luau themed toys. With a variety of fun games and prizes, every child will have fun at your adorable kid themed luau!
Looking for a way to make your child's first garden even more fun? For many kids, nothing is more fun than doing outdoor activities with mom and dad. As children get a bit older, many of them want to have their own little garden, especially if they have been seeing their parents grow things outdoors as well. While gardening with kids used to be challenging in the past, it is now much more fun and easy to create a fun garden for kids, especially with the right amount of planning and tools!
First Garden: Why Have a Garden
While creating a garden may be a lot of work, it comes with a lot of benefits for children and parents alike. For one, it is great at teaching kids responsibility and where the food on their plates doesn't just come from the grocery stores. By growing their own food or flowers, they watch a life that is dependent on them. They learn that that they have to water it, baby it, and what happens at the end of the season after harvest when many plants die or hibernate. It truly is a great learning experience for children. Best of all, it doesn't take much room at all, allowing parents and children to enjoy gardening together, even if they don't have a lot of room outdoors.
First Garden: Supplies
When it becomes time to start putting together your first garden, it is important that you take into account what supplies you need and how much room you have available for a garden. Many people assume that you must have a big area for garden, but it really can be done just about anywhere, including a small second story deck on an apartment. All you need are some basic gardening supplies (child safe ones are available in most stores), seeds, dirt, and whatever decorations you want to include with your plants. As well, make sure to have a child sized bucket or watering can that children are able to use to water their plants.
First Garden: Crafts
To make the most out of your garden, consider allowing kids to make their own unique flower pots. You can purchase flower pot craft kits and paints at many stores that are specially designed for painting on plastic or ceramic. By letting kids make their own unique pots with craft supplies they are able to make their first garden more personal. These pots can in many cases also be used year after year, allowing kids to enjoy their unique projects for many years to come. If you have a large area, you may also want help kids make their own birdhouses and labels for their plants, helping them make their gardening experience even better!

Experts warn of frostbite, dead batteries in cold
MINNEAPOLIS -- Temperatures early this week can be dangerous, and officials in several states are warning residents to take precautions.
At temperatures of 15 to 30 below, exposed skin can get frostbitten in minutes and hypothermia can quickly set in.
"People need to protect themselves against the intense cold," said Dr. Brian Mahoney, medical director of emergency services at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis. "They have to wear a hat, they have to have face protection."
Mahoney said mittens are better than gloves, layers of dry clothing are best, and anyone who gets wet needs to get inside.
The bottom line, Mahoney said, is to avoid the cold if you can -- or make sure all body parts are covered up and covered up well.
Car batteries
Keeping vehicles in a garage is the most surefire way to ensure they will start in subzero conditions.
But for those who don't have access to a garage, it's important that they check the health of their vehicle's battery.
Older batteries and ones that are on the verge of going dead often can't even be jump-started once they have been exposed for an extended time to temperatures below zero.
Space heaters
The U.S. Fire Administration says more than 50,000 residential fires annually are caused by heating, resulting in about 150 deaths.
January is the peak month.
School buses
Extreme temperatures also can cause plenty of other problems that can strand drivers -- even those who drive school buses.
In Missouri's St. Louis County, one school district canceled classes Friday after 20 of its buses wouldn't start, and 85 others didn't have working air brakes because of temperatures that hovered around zero at 6 a.m.

Moderation in all things seemed to be the theme of this month's Beige Book report for the Philadelphia region.
While the Philly50 might be underwhelmed by the report's somewhat tepid view of the region's recovery - "moderate growth" was a recurring phrase - local firms might still take heart in a few hints of better days to come.
Among the positives: Despite hesitancy and vacillation in other areas, consumers continued a recent buying spree when it comes to automobiles, particularly pickup trucks. The latter can be read as a sign of improving health of the construction industry. Another harbinger for building firms are reports that architects and engineering firms were seeing "increased interest and greater work flow."

'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' recap: Is Porsha controlled by Kordell?
The ladies' trip to Los Angeles is about a minute long, as the real focus is not to promote NeNe's TV show (which, by the way, is pretty awful) but to get the women to Sin City, pronto. Everyone seems eager to get to Vegas, but not everyone seems excited about the sin part. Or, more specifically, Porsha isn't excited about the sin part, because Kordell doesn't approve. Or maybe he would and Porsha's blaming him, or maybe he just doesn't know. Things get a little confusing on this episode, but then, you can't really expect Porsha to put together a coherent argument about anything.
Things get off to a rough start when Kenya asks Cynthia for lotion (FYI, she will not look ashy for the rest of the season, dammit!) and reprimands her for jumping on the Walter theme that ruined the previous night's dinner. Kenya says she really wants to follow her doctor's orders not to get too wrapped up in interpersonal drama, but that would require her not to create drama at every opportunity. I'm not sure Kenya understands this, really.
So, it comes as no surprise when Kenya suggests all the girls join her in healing yoga poses on the bus to Vegas. Kidding! No, she suggests a game in which the women have to draw names, then have to imitate one another. Yes, this is drama avoidance at it's best! Not at all! Funny, when I was a kid I thought of this as making fun of a kid until they started to cry. Shockingly, even after Cynthia imitates Kandi (mostly by saying she's hungry), Porsha imitates NeNe (by waggling her finger, which doesn't sound like much, but it's a shockingly good NeNe) and Phaedra imitates Kenya (with a twirl, nothing too caustic), everyone just laughs. Could a good time be being had by all? Naaah, this couldn't be a FUN episode!
Somehow Kenya broaches the topic of wanting to ride a mechanical bull when she gets to Vegas, because that is a VERY Kenya thing to do. Cynthia suggests that might be possible at a "place" called The Crazy Horse, which might or might not be a strip club, which means it is a strip club. Phaedra is happy to enjoy the bounty of women of all colors and textures, which makes them sound like a selection of woolen fabrics or Italian meats. And really, everyone's just fine with looking at naked women… except Porsha. Porsha does not want to go to a strip club, because Kordell would not approve. So, Cynthia suggests they're all going to a "burlesque show" together.
I guess the plan is to trick Porsha into going to a strip club, which seems like a bad idea. Porsha really, really doesn't want to go to a strip club. Maybe Kordell said he didn't want her to go to one, but there's also a pretty good chance that she just isn't comfortable with the idea. Where Porsha screws up is by laying the blame at Kordell's feet, unfortunately. Given that the other women already think that Porsha is one step removed from being Kordell's house slave, she's pretty much invited them to judge he marriage and deem it a big, bad, stinky mess.
But before that can happen, Kenya encourages the girls to try stand-up on the bus. Because that's what people do on long bus rides? Whatever happened to 100 bottles of beer on the wall and listening to whatever music's on your phone? Anyway, Kandi talks about farting in a guy's face pre-orgasm. Because that's... funny? Horrifying? Gross? Yeah, waaay TMI. As Cynthia explains, the Vegas bus is turning into the Crazy Bus.
A lot of that might have to do with the fact it takes twice as long for the bus to get to Vegas as it really should, as they clearly leave during peak traffic hours. I suspect the show producers thought this would lead to frustration (thus, fighting), but really, everyone just seems tired after a while. Hope Bravo has to double their undereye concealer budget as punishment for this one.
Meanwhile, NeNe jets into Vegas. She didn't have to take the sucker bus, as she was WORKING on her fabulous SITCOM. I suspect the reality is she now has a better agent who negotiated for her to never be stuck in a vehicle with these women for more than an hour.
Before the Bus of Exhaustion limps into Vegas, Kandi notes that Porsha is eating pickles and thus must be pregnant. Phaedra brings up the rabbit test, which everyone seems utterly horrified by. Phaedra is clearly too tired to explain the test, and no one else seems to believe that this was an actual thing, and Kenya acts repulsed by Phaedra's desire to kill bunnies. I think Porsha is just happy that the conversation somehow veered off her potential bun in the oven and onto killing rabbits, and I can't blame her.
The girls all change into their evening clothes (and Cynthia dons her evening afro) and head toward the strip club. Porsha is NOT happy about this. She feels tricked! She has a ministry inside of her to help other women her age, and strip clubs make her sad. Now, if she have just said this in the first place, the women might have rolled their eyes, but they may have let it drop. No way is that happening now.
NeNe, who used to be a stripper, thinks Porsha is being controlled by Kordell. Because really, what kind of messed-up woman DOESN'T like to look at naked women and get lap dances? Phaedra is NOT going to let Porsha toss around the Christianity excuse, because Jesus had no problem with prostitutes. Why, it's proper form to praise the Lord while examining a woman's bikini wax, dammit! Porsha is no match for Phaedra on any topic, really, and it's a little sad to see her burble like a broken water fountain, searching desperately for something smart to say other than, "Kordell doesn't tell me what to do! Wait, is that Kordell calling? Maybe I need to call Kordell!"
Somehow Porsha manages to stay out of the strip club, which gives everyone else ample opportunity to talk about her while stuffing twenty dollar bills into G-strings. It's decided that 1) Porsha is stupid 2) Porsha isn't "living her dreams," whatever those are 3) Porsha will be sorry when she's old 4) Porsha's a prude and 5) Porsha is going to "die a little by little every day," which sounds depressing. So, with all of that judgment taken care of, there's plenty of time to talk about stripping!
NeNe reveals that Gregg didn't know she was a stripper when they started dating, so she revealed this by inviting him to the "gentleman's club" where she worked, then dancing for him at the bar. She didn't stop stripping until they got married, as she had private school and rent to bankroll. She even had strippers as her bridesmaids. NeNe is not ashamed of who she is, but she's not about to let Porsha look down her nose at the jiggly arts, especially when she's never had to work to pay utilities.
The next morning, we see Porsha get her make-up done and call Kordell. Kordell, honestly, doesn't seem to say anything more than "don't do anything you don't want to do," although that may just be code for "don't do anything I don't want you to do" when the cameras are rolling.
The gals all pile in the limo, and NeNe leads the charge to inform Porsha that she's one step below a Barbie doll stuck in a five-year-old's toy chest in her marriage to Kordell. Porsha insists Kordell doesn't tell her what to do, that she just wants to be a better woman and help him be a better man, and a bunch of other stuff that sounds like it might have made sense when she first heard it but has now been sitting in her brain pan getting jumbled up with fake words and nail polish colors and doesn't quite connect anymore. Finally, NeNe manages to massage the conversation toward Porsha basically claiming to be an independent woman so that she can insist on taking her to another strip club. Joking! Mostly!
This time, the gals get to go backstage at an actual burlesque show, where two showgirls let them try on costumes and Kenya decides to twirl around as her top comes down. So, fun is had by some.
Next, it's time for shopping, which really means Kandi gets to look at engagement rings, and that evening ends with a big Bedroom Kandi party, which is essentially a Tupperware party for sex toys. The girls get into flimsy robes and underwear, discuss Kegel balls, and Kandi slips a pregnancy test into Porsha's bag. To Porsha's credit, she refuses to take it, and amazingly, the girls drop it after some initial teasing. Even they know that this is a private moment that Porsha should probably share with her husband, whether he's a controlling idiot or not.
Finally, after a few uncomfortable moments (a game of seeing who has the sexiest approach to biting a chocolate-covered strawberry somehow becomes a chance for Phaedra to rub Kenya's face in her break-up with Walter), it's time for everyone to write down a sex question, put it in a dish, then whoever picks the question has to answer it. What fun!
Yeah, not really, because one of the questions is how to deal with a friend who hurts your feelings and doesn't apologize and is short and looks LIKE PHAEDRA. Well, it almost says that, because Kenya confesses to writing the question and wanting Phaedra to answer it. She tells Phaedra that she cut her to the white meat, which is disturbing simply because I really don't want to think about any human as something I might order at a restaurant.
Kenya insists that Phaedra hurt her, while Phaedra points out that Kenya dressing up like her and making fun of her butt wasn't exactly nice, either. Kenya says that's just her being her! You can't ask her not to be her! Which means she can dress up and make fun of whoever she likes, because that isn't bitchy? Phaedra thinks Kenya owes her an apology, and Kenya says she doesn't need an apology because she knows Phaedra will lie anyway, and now I'm wondering what the point of this whole fight is anyway? Oh, right! To reduce the drama in Kenya's life! She must be feeling so healthy!
As NeNe says, these bitches will never be friends. Really, I think that's fine, but I wish someone would tell Kenya to stop bringing it up. She's never got a shot at being Zenya at this rate.
But let's get back to Porsha's refusal to go to the strip club. Not wanting to go to a strip club shouldn't be a big deal either way. A lot of grown-ass women (and grown-ass men) don't like them. Porsha isn't wrong that they can be kinda sad. The women bullying her into going are really no better than, say, Kordell possibly (and we don't even know this for a fact) bullying her into not going. Yeah, she did kind of suck the fun out of the girls' trip, but really, I think most girls would be happier going to Thunder from Down Under.
Porsha may be an idiot, but I think her only mistake here was just an inability to articulate her actual opinion (to the extent she's able to form one). There may be a case to be made that she's too obedient to Kordell's whims, but I don't think forcing the girl into going to a strip club is the way to make the point.
Do you think Porsha should have gone to the strip club? Do you think Phaedra should apologize to Kenya? Do you think NeNe should mind her own business?
