It's back to school time and from Martha Stewart's website here's a cute stylish lunch tip for your mini-me's lunch pail.  She will definately have Sandwich Swag.

Not sure how I feel about these yet but I could see them happening for an alternate "Fall Nail" switchup.

Dirty Martini | Week in Review

This is the Olympic addition ya'll....and 1st up we have our First Lady, Michelle Obama

She's hanging with David Beckham, The new Bond Girl aka Queen Elizabeth and the Duchess Catherine.  We'd say Mrs. Obama is having a grand ole time on the other side of the pond.  Even the USA Men's Basketball team lined up just to get a personalized hello from her.  Barack is lucky to have her on his team and we love having her as an example for African Americans everywhere.  #Barack2012

GO GO GABBY!

Man what an extraordinary performance from one of the Prettiest Brown Girls at the Olympics, Gabby Douglas.  She helped her team win the gold and went on to rock more medal for her individual all around performance.  Represent!!!  That Russian chile was PO'd.








HOTTEST Olympic Bod - Ryan Lochte (but Track and Field hasn't come on yet swooning over David Oliver) and wait there's more...is he dating LAHHATL's Michelle K? Check out the Global Grind vid here: Is it a love connection with K Michelle and Lochte?

HOTTEST Thing Olympiads are receiving (besides swagalicious neck candy) - CELEB TWEETS.

How does this happen? | StyleDIVA

Getting old for sure has not been fun but I tell you in the past few years I've experienced some strange stuff.  One in particular is something I like to call Late Stage Claustrophobia.  How do you develop this in your late 30s?  The most interesting is how I realized that I was claustrophobic.

While visiting the last season of the Oprah show, one of my besties and I were headed back to the airport with one additional person in a Chi-Town cab.  Riding along in the back of the cab I began to fill a little uneasy.  We hit MAJOR traffic on the freeway and BAM I felt like my insides were about to burst out of my chest.  I rolled the window down like a dog and stuck my head out of the window just to ensure I didn't vomit all over the back of the cab.  Eventually I had to tell the cabbie to pull over so I could get in the front -- yes pull over on the freeway!  What an experience.

Since then I've noticed this same feeling anytime I sit in the back of a car which is something I no longer can do, and just recently I was on a bus full of people sitting 1/2 way in and had to close my eyes until I got to my destination (luckily it was only a 10 minute ride).  I mean is this the strangest thing or what?  I'm wondering where on earth did it come from. 

So I did a little research but still didn't find many answers.  Apparently you can develop claustrophobia at any stage in life but when you are older (ahem) it appears that it comes from a fear of being stuck in a confined space ie. an elevator or plane.  Whelp...don't remember this happening to me so no answer there.  I also found out that this could be cured (hmmm) with hypnotherapy.  I mean I wasn't expecting that I could take some magic pill and it would go away but I don't know about "hocus pocus" performances either.  I'm going to have to give this some thought.

I've got to get through this though, I'm a thrill seeker and if you've ever been on a roller coaster you know it's not the most openly free space, especially when that over head bar comes down.  YIKES my chest is getting tight typing this.  So if anyone knows of what I speak or feels my pain drop me a comment in that box right there below....do you see it?  Good.  Because it can't be fashionable to be Claustrophobic.

Real Life Celeb Moment

Veneisha Brown (talking about looking like yo daddy!) was recently arrested on stealing a car and assault charges.  Reportedly she arrived at work and her boss realized Veneisha was driving a stolen SUV and reached in to grab the keys.  Weeeellllll Veneisha pulled off causing the boss to flip over another car's hood.  Ouch! As Big Boi says  - stay up Veneisha!









Shut The Front Door Award of the Week

Aww don't they look cute?  Well that ended this week when The Game called off the engagement and wedding to his long time girlfriend and baby mama Tiffeny.  He took to The Twitter and apologized to everyone and made it clear it wasn't her...it was him.  Isn't it always?  Anywho we'll see if the reality series they were taping will ever see airtime.  BTW this is his second time calling off an engagement, commitment issues???

Fav Reality TV Moment - Just announced that singer and pastor Marvin Sapp is coming to Reality TV ala Mary Mary style.  After the loss of his wife a little of 2 years ago you can imagine women are trying to fill her shoes and Marvin is wondering if he has enough skills and prayer to handle the scheming first ladies while raising 2 tweens and a teen.  We'll be watching will you?  Oh it's still being shopped to networks but if they are smart someone will pick it up - Magic need some shows over there at Aspire????

StyleDIVA Moment - Bet ya can't guess who this is.  Here are some clues:  She's a rapper, she has been on a reality TV show and she had a wardrobe malfunction during a concert.

He's a picture that might jog your memory:

Wow Somaya Reece - you go girl, she's getting it together and taking her career to a higher level (*sideeye*).  Wherever she ends up that weight loss is only going to be a plus.  I see you girl!

Catch us tomorrow with Sister Save Alot, Fatima Tania and @cocktaildeeva - 8AM EST Cocktails and Conversation Radio Show Link





Get to know @SisterSaveALot with these 5 Questions

That's right she's back....we've missed her so much.  Our girlfriend Sister Save A Lot of TLC Extreme Couponing fame is joining us on the show this Saturday with her tips for Back To School Shopping!  YESSSS!!!

1. What is the last thing you bought WITHOUT a coupon?

This is a hard question to answer. Since I use a coupon on everything, I can not name one item.  The last purchase that I made without a coupon was gas for my car. (LOL, Okay!)

2. If you could be in the Olympics what sport would you participate in?

None, I am not the athletic type and do not like sports.  I would love to watch and root for the USA basketball team.

3. Do you have a Celeb Crush?

My celeb crush has been the same for the past few years.  . . . TI could get it!!! J 

 (Alright now...you won't have to use those coupons if ya'll get together!)

4. Chips or Pretzels?        

Chips- They must be Jay’s BBQ Potato Chips

5. Do you sing outloud in the car?

You know I do!!!  My current favorite CD is Jill Scott “The Light of the Sun”.   (Great pick!)

She is not only a money saving Sister but knows her music and potato chips - shouts out to Jays!  Listen in on Saturday 8AM EST and get your back to school deals along with fashion tips and laughs with Fatima Tania and @thecocktaildeeva.  Sounds like another amazing show!!  Also follow Sister Save Alot on her newly redesigned website www.sistersavealot.com.
