Robby:  How they know they have the best buns?

Me:  They don't have the best buns.  I do.

Robby:  Well...

Me:  What?  You don't think my buns are the best?

Robby:  Well...that's hard to say.  You know there are like 6 BILLION buns in the world.  It would be hard to just claim yours as victorious without seeing all of them.

Me:  We're not talking about bread anymore are we?

Robby:  I'm sure you've noticed the shape of the bun on the truck.

"The Kids Are Alright" Review

WE.LOVED.THIS.MOVIE!

It was our fourth A movie (I think) of the year so far! I don't want to tell you more than the preview for it already does but just know that if you're looking for a pretty dang awesome movie with an EXCEPTIONAL cast...this is the movie to see now!

Monnie Rating: A+

Robby Rating: A-

Bryn Keith, Custom Tailor

I dress The Robinator pretty okay.  I know fabrics and enjoy seeing him in a well cut suit.  I think I have a flair for awesome shirt and tie combinations and I do believe his business wardrobe reflects that.

But at our age...it was time to step us his game.

How do you step up such a game you ask?

Custom playa...CUSTOM.

Off to Mr. Bryn Keith we went for the best service and saavy this side of the Mason Dixie line.

We had an appointment and Bryn stepped out of his spot to greet us like old family.  Bryn's height makes you think of an athlete and makes you wonder just what this man knows about the art of gentlemen wares but baaaaaaaby...you soon recognize dude knows his stuff.

He welcomed us into his office and simply sat and talked to us for a bit.  Just got comfy ya know?  He asked Robby (me) a lot of questions about his wardrobe and what he was looking for and Robby (I) answered.  Sitting there talking to him was cool because dude is really quite knowledgeable about it all. 

 

 

While talking to Bryn we realized he had some MAJOR fancy clients so we were waiting for him to realize we were frauds at any minute.  LOL!  The funniest part to me?  The Robinator looking at swatches!  BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  I NEVER, EVER, EVER THOUGHT I'D SEE THE DAY!  LOL!

Dude has a clear thing for the color blue when left to his own devices so I had to intervene.  When he argued about the differences in the color blue I pointed out the hypocrisy of said argument after the argument over the color I want to paint the main level of our home.  ROFL!

After we picked out some colors, cuts, styles, pleats, cuffs, monograms, collars, etc...Robby got measured up good.

 

And then we rolled out feeling good, feeling great, how are you!  I'm thinking custom is going to be The Robinator's one, two from here on out and Bryn Keith is definitely going to be our place to go.  With Robby's measurements on file as well as a wish list...he can get new duds with a phone call.

Check out Bryn Keith on Facebook and on Twitter too!  He has all sorts of classes for men regarding style and fashion and I know a WHOLE LOTTA men folk who need their biz wardrobe stepped up several notches!  GO YOU!

Oh...and you KNOW he does clothing for women too!  Um...yall know I'm a sucker for that hot, fiyah!  :)  If you go...tell him The Robinator sent you as Robby thinks he's an expert now.  o_0

When was the last time YOU had something custom made?  (Erica Bunker may not answer this question.  LOL!)

Question...

If a casting call says tall, Caucasian female with a runner's body...why would you show up if you were short, Black, and definitely withOUT a runner's body...giggling?  Ain't ish funny about wasting folks' time.

ANTOINE IS AN OVERNIGHT SENSATION!!!!!!!!!!

Shopping

The last time you bought something new to wear...where did you buy it?

Good Book?

Whatcha reading?

Question...

Did you ever wear any of your mother's clothing growing up?  Was she cool with it or did you have to sneak?

Tell the truth and shame the devil!

You have a single girlfriend who you think is kinda offish in a corporate thug kinda way.

But she's been a good friend to you for years and years and years.

You've had issues with her behavior and using certain language, etc. around your children and you've simply learned to keep your kids from around her often so it's not a problem.

She also has some ideas regarding child rearing that you simply don't agree with but it's never been a problem because you don't allow her to watch your kids.

You didn't know she was in the process of adopting until someone contacted you as you're one of her references.

Are you able to give her a glowing reference so she may adopt a child?  Just because she does things differently from the way you do things regarding children...do you think she should still have the opportunity to be a mother?

Scenario...

You're having a small dinner party.

You're cooking a fish dish that only takes 10 minutes to cook so you have it ready to go in the oven.

After sharing a drink and hors devours, you go to the kitchen to put the dish in the oven.

When the alarm goes off you return to take the dish out.

One of your guests has followed you into your kitchen.

They express how delicious the fish looks.

Next thing you know the guest has rinsed off a fork that was in the sink and "cut" a little piece off one of the fish steaks exclaiming, "Remember, this one is mine.  I'm so hungry and it just smells so good!"

What do you say or do?

African American Books Either / Or

Do you think fiction books by Black authors about Black people should be housed in one location in the book store?

OR

Do you think they should be dispersed with all the other fiction books in alphabetical order by author?

Why?

Randoms of a Creole Princess

If you want me to take you seriously...ACT seriously.  Not ACK.  ACT.

I understand that these days everybody is hustling but Imma need you to not call folks at their home at 9:00pm to offer your services.

You will ALWAYS get the gas face.

Always.

Maybe painting isn't all that great of an idea.  That's gonna take a lot of effort and I want the carpet NOW.

I had a buy one get one free ticket to an amusement park to take E and a friend.  Another friend asked if we had an extra ticket.

E:  Who has an extra ticket to an amusement park????????

I love that kid man.  He's been here before.

Shelly found Cole on the floor last night KNOCKED OUT SLEEP.  She ain't NUTTIN talking bout she hopes he doesn't wake up all the way when she wakes him up to get him back in the bed cuz he's too big to be picked up anymore.  LOL!

If Ojon didn't work so well for me as a pre-poo I'd have to leave it be.  The smell really makes me frown.

I'm going try on some shoes today that my favorite shoe guy is holding for me.  I hope they wear well.

Am I the only person I know who has to try on every pair of shoe and every article of clothing on before I buy it?  I mean...I can't trust sizes it seems. My normal 8.5 size can go all the way up to a 39.5 according to the brand and a size 4 dress may fit me in one style but I'll need a size 8 in another.

I'd rather just try them on in the store as I HATE taking stuff back.

I've kinda been off schedule for over a week now because I've been trying to wrap my brain around something.  I've since laid the something to rest.  Ain't no use in me getting discombobulated not one more day.

If I showed you how many wine glasses are lined up on the side of the sink for hand washing you'd shake your finger at me.

How come the mother of that little boy missing hasn't rolled up on and beat the SHIT outta the stepmom to get her azz to start talking?

Lemme stop.  Violence is not the answer right?

So back to painting.  The color I like is Benjamin Moore California HIlls. 

Robby:  That's the same damn color!  You're going to spend that much money to have it painted the same damn color?

Me:  It's not the same damn color!  It has hints of green and black in it!

Robby:  Ain't no damn green or black in that hell!

Me:  You ain't looking at it right!

Robby:  What?  I need to sneak up on it from the side so the green and black doesn't run off by the time it's in full view?

Me:  Just leave it alone hell!  I don't EVEN.MUCH know why I showed you in the first place!  You'll see the difference when it's up on the damn walls hell!

And the beat goes on.

This stretch is interesting to me.

I don't like yoga.

The Black Eyed Peas confuse me.

It's such  a pleasant morning today and I need to get to getting.  I gotta lotta beauty stuff I have to do cuz I have to be "ON" tonight.

I'm still mad at Nerd Girl for insinuating that men named Antoine...wait...nuttin.  ROFL!

What's going on random with you?

It's Friday Folks!

Do you have a date lined up with your spouse, S/O, kiddies or friend?  Whatchall doing tonight?  Do you find the older you get the less you have scheduled for the "justgotpaidFridaynight?"

Tell the truth and shame the devil!

Is there anything you would FIGHT over or for?

Question...

I own this dress.  Do you consider it casual?  I haven't rocked it yet and I'm wondering what I should rock it to.

Hmmmmmmm...ERICA BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can I get away with wearing this dress to something:

 

When I just wore this:

Drew Carey Lost 80 Pounds!

From Jamie:

It wasn't.

Tell the truth and shame the devil!

Did you used to read this when you were a tween/teen?  Did you know they still published it??????

Tell the truth and shame the devil!

What would YOU do if your spouse or S/O came home one day and announced that they think they are bisexual?

True or False?

Dating shouldn't be so dang hard.   I find it annoying that folks communicate so well online with people they don't even much know regarding relationships instead of communicating those same sentiments to people they are dating. Dating and mating isn't rocket science. You single...he's single...you like him...he likes you...hell...be a good person, date, get to know each other and move forward or not based on what YOU want and what's good for YOU. Folks make it too damn hard. - SIP
