Internet Macks - LET'S DISCUSS!

Disclaimer:  The Cheetah Diva is not now, or will she ever criticize internet booty calls/hook ups, get togethers or those who find love in the vast, endless cyberspace.  This is about the punks who pretend to be honorable but are really just out for the Poosah. Hello my Lovelies! Recently I was hanging out on Facebook with my favorite romance author Cheris Hodges.  She had a discussion going on about the diarrhea that spilled out of Steve Harvey's mouth.  For those of you who haven't followed this issue because you have real lives, somebody named Mimi who's a reality star/player/prop on a show (sorry...don't watch, don't follow, don't care) who has done a porn video featuring her climbing a shower curtain like an orangutan; I guess she wanted to be famous and hoped that it would launch her career (yeah, I know...I laughed too). (side note: Uh, Mimi...black women doing porn - not that big of a deal to the general public. Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Bynes or L...

Channeling Your Inner Gadget Gidget

Hello my lovelies! Two blogs in a week!  I'm on a roll! One day when I grow up, I wanna be just like me. But anyway, this is Sunday night.  You know what that means, right? TEEVEE NIGHT! On this holiests of teevee nights, I have a plethora of shows to watch and if I play my cards right, I can watch my shows back to back to back.  Starting with "The Amazing Race." It's being tied up by some golf game or whatever but then again, you can never tell what causes CBS to go over time on a sporting event. Whether or not the Race comes on at 8:00 (it probably won't) is of no concern.  As much as I love the show, at 9:00, "Game of Thrones" comes on and I don't have a DVR and even when I did, I never used it.  Nothing will stop GoT at 9:00 so I'll have to catch the results of the Race online.  Sorry Phil, that's just how the cookie crumbles. I used to watch "The Walking Dead" on AMC, but I had a real adverse reaction to that. I l...

WE'RE BITCHES! The Odd Ratchetness of Black Women in the Work Place

Hello my lovelies! Okay, I promise - this is the last blog I'll ever do on race.  I didn't want to become THAT writer and circumstances of the last blog has absolutely nothing to do with this blog.  It just happens to be something that's been on my mind for the past couple of weeks.  Well, this really doesn't have anything to do with race per se.. .it's a general observation that I've noticed in my 20+ years of working hard for the Man.  In the middle of my message board update screw ups and Kurai Utopia Book Two's editing, somehow this issue has taken form in my mind's eye against my will and today, it sorta boiled to the surface for me. Being a writer, I must explore this.  Since I don't have very many blog followers, I'm not really expecting WW9 to break out up in here. (of note, if you've read my blog on Internet Personas, you'll know I'm really good at internet fighting - in fact, I rather enjoy it) Now that that'...

Black Balled: The Lack of the Written Word on the Silver Screen From the Black Point of View

Hello my lovelies! The Cheetah Diva is going in a different direction with the blog today. Several months ago, I discussed being a black paranormal writer in a color struck world.  I'll admit to having a flair for the dramatic (almost drag queenish in nature), but I'd like to revisit a viewpoint that I touched on when I wrote that particular blog. I was on Facebook this evening discussing royalties with my friend and favorite romance author Cheris Hodges.  Actually, I was following the discussion but you get what I'm saying. Anyhoo, after joking about how bigger my royalty check was - seriously, it was enough for bus fare one way, a Snicker and a cheap Fanta soda, I got mad about the situation as a whole. In my original blog, I touched upon the controversy of "Django Unchained," and how Spike Lee had a stick up his ass about it.  Okay that's fine and dandy, dick drip, but look at all of these movies showing at the multiplex and only two of them feat...

Jury Duty in ATHell Sucks Like a Hoover And Here's Why...

Hello my lovelies! First off, a big CHEETAH DIVA CONGRATS TO LUPITA NYONG'O for her spectacular Oscar win for Best Supporting Actress in "12 Years A Slave."  A very impressive win for a very impressive young lady. Do your thing, girl! Now that I have that out of the way, I'm going to rant about a couple of things in regards to ATHell, aka, Atlanta, GA.  Admittedly, it's not my favorite place in the world, but my kid's a nursing student and the j.o.b. is headquartered here so it's not like I can take flight and flee so leaving is not an option right now. Don't misunderstand - there are things about the place I'm very down with. I've grown very fond of Alpharetta, a north suburb not far from my j.o.b. It's accessible to everything I need, need to have, need to go, and the police have almost absolutely nothing to do.  If I become a world famous writer and sell gobs of books and get a movie deal, I'm Bali-bound! But there...
