<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hello Everyone and Happy New Year!

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I know I haven't written in a couple of months but life always has a way of getting in the way of things. We are just 18 days into the New Year and I just want to thank God for His Grace, Mercy and the many Blessings he has bestowed upon me already this year! </span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">On last Thursday Jan 12, 2012 I taped a segment on the Bill Cunningham Show who comes on WPIX Channel 11 at 1pm if you are in the NY/NJ Metro area. I don't have the date for when my show will be aired but I will be sure to let you know when it does! The show is entitled "Look At Me Now!" where I was able to bring somebody from my past on the show who used to tease and taunt me when I was younger, someone I haven't seen since high school to say...."Look at me now, In all my Glory"....lol I had a blast and met a very nice young lady from NJ who was my Green Room Mate who was also full figured, fly and fabulous! Here are some pics from the Green Room:</span></div>

I was a die hard Heavy D fan back in the days and still a fan of him now as I recall watching him a few weeks ago on the BET Hip Hop Awards and jumping up and down in my house screaming, rapping and dancing. After that I thought "Oh my God, why didn't I think of this before". I immediately searched for him not as heavy D but his real name Dwight Myers and saw we had quite a few common friends. I mean he is from the very town that I live next to......"Money Earning - Mt. Vernon" I thought Heavy D would make a perfect spokesperson for Not Your Average Talents and my goal was to friend him and just ask him personally. He did accept my friendship the next day and I remember being so excited that he did but I wanted him to check me and my company out first before I dove right in so I waited........I guess I will never know now......SMH I remember years ago meeting him in a club and me being the bold gal I was in the early 90s asked him to dance and we did. He was so sweet and as we all know could dance his a$$ off! Great and fond memories of the "overweight lover". May He Rest In Paradise! We all loved him but God loved him best. I know him and T-Roy are making the saints dance up in Heaven! Condolences to the Myers family and May God Hold You and Keep you in this time of sorrow. Celebrate his life and how much he inspired, motivated and loved people and how much people loved him.<br />

A lot of things<b> I SHARE</b> here some people may feel or may not feel is appropriate but it's as simple as you can read it or you don't have to read it but it's <b>NOT</b> about you. <b>THIS BLOG</b> is all about <b>ME</b>! <b>MY LIFE</b> as a Plus Size Entertainer and Entrepreneur.
