Tila Tequila and Reality T.V.

Hey ladies! is it me or has these reality t.v. shows gotten beyond ridiculous? Seriously, bachelor and bachelorette were okay, the concept of all those people competing over one person is stupid, because out of the deal only one person gets picked and it's a chance that it's not you. But this new reality show, don't know if some of you saw or heard about it, Tila Tequila the short little asian cyber chick? for those of you who don't know her show is called A Shot At Love. She's bisexual and doesn't know if she likes guys or girls. Lets get one thing straight what you choose for your sexuality to be is your business, your decision and I don't judge people on that. But what makes absolutely no sense is to have a set of girls and a set of guys on the show competing for that one person. These people are up here making complete asses of themselves! and only one gets chosen.

This isn't America's Next Top Model where your granted a prize you get to keep. This is dealing with emotions and feelings. How you feel for one person one way, may not be how you'll end up feeling for them the next. And for those of you who have seen the show or have watched it, can see these people are really getting serious feelings about her, one girl on the show starts crying because she can't stand to look at another person massage Tila's body and give her a kiss.One guy falls in so deep it makes Tila uncomfortable and unsure about him and so she sends him home, and he ends up fighting one of the other contestants on the show, but yet you want someone serious and who doesn't play games? This is insane! It's making my head hurt that people can be so stupid. What a waste of time! messing with peoples emotions is playing games, and it's not funny when someone gets hurt in the process.

Oh and speaking of someone getting hurt in the process, the guy that gets beat up by the dude who got sent home is hurt and has to be rushed to the hospital and all of a sudden you realize you care about that person? Then when he comes back from the hospital she's probably gonna kick him off her her show for not being able to fight good enough, the night of the fight. And hmmm lets see one more angry person! On top of that they showed previews for next weeks show, more drama! This is crazy, what is the world coming to? Let's all pray that the Writers Guild get a raise in their pay so we won't be stuck looking at t.v. show repeats and fresh reality t.v. shows. I have nothing against reality t.v. but shows like these are pathetic and stupid. (just my opinion)

The CW

Well I guess it's officially Fall, I'm trying very hard to adjust to the cool weather. I'm not much of a Fall or Winter person anyway. Yesterday I was cozed up in the house looking at the Monday night line up on the CW. First things first, Girlfriends I'm sorry but I'm not feeling it this season. it's not that Toni's gone it just doesn't have that umph in it that it had all the other seasons. Why do they constantly have to have drama? Why can't they get their lives right? it's like black woman are being sterotyped, and the writer and creator of the show is black so it's like huh? it's like the character never grows or mature and thats what the girls on girlfriends are suppose to be doing. Sure Maya became an author, Lynn became a musician Joan got engaged, but now Maya is not longer an author, they aren't showing Lynn doing anything in her career, and Joan and her fiancee` weren't getting along with each other and now he's in Iraq! after this season Girlfriends needs to call it quits.

On the other hand I really like The Game, and if you've been watching every Monday like I've been then you'll know that The Game is like the IT show. I get anxious and excited everytime it comes on, I can't believe melanie would try to sleep with Malik to get back at Derwin! and Drew Sadora made me so mad when she kissed Derwin at the ESPY awards, how could she talk about her feelings when she knew Derwin was with Melanie, she wanted to get back at him because of that, thats why she slept with him! I knew something was wrong when Malik was being nice to Melanie, when she asked for advice about Derwin. Something wasn't right. and then Tasha walked in on Malik and Melanie even though they did't sleep together, but it did look like they slept together. I know word is going to get around about that! whoo had to get that all of my chest, and I will not MISS next weeks episode!

October is : Breast Cancer Month

C.A. babes! today for me is chill day! yep, my friend came to visit this month so I'll be in the house today grubbin' on junk and watching movies. But I got to thinking, this month is Breast Cancer month, and I know a couple people who have it. As they are constant in my prayers physically something needs to be done too! and thats why this month is so important, so why not do a little something and give to those that need our help? you can do something as simple as walking for the cure, or better yet I know you've all seen those yoplait commercials? eat the yogurt save the lid and mail it in! That simple, not only that you'll feel good that you did something for somebody else or better, is a good thing. I was cruising around found these adorable pink products from many different brands at Amazon! purchase one and a percentage goes towards cancer, the best part? their afforadable and cute and......PINK!

What's going on my C.A. chicks!?

I just got finished eating the last Fudge Round, I really cannot get enough of those things. I could live off of them literally, Little Debbie has some of the best snack cakes, but not all! I had an interview today with Nika the VA Cake Diva, and a DIVA she is! She has the most adorable cakes I've seen! Not only that she also does hand crafted jewelry her signature photo lollipops and lots more. Oh so adorable! Talk about a busy but talented woman! Take a look.

Nika:For about 5 years

C.A.:When did you know that you wanted to start making cakes?

Nika:I started out at Wal-Mart in the bakery, at first I wasn't really good at it, but once I got the hang of it customers would Oooh and Ahh at their cakes when they picked them up,and always request for me to do their orders.I knew it was my calling,because I liked decorating cakes,it's fun and easy,and I get a kick out of the customers face when they see my finished product.

C.A.:How long does it take you to decorate your cakes?

Nika:Basic ones, half sheets and quarter sheets takes 3 hours.That icludes baking the cake ,allowing it to cool,and making the icing (the actual decorating of a bassic cake after everything is ready,I can do that in like 5 minutes!). The sculpted cakes take about a week,because I would have to make certain parts ahead of time.

C.A.:What other things do you do besides making cakes?

Nika:I do one of a kind beaded jewelry, Diaper cakes for the baby showers, and favors for weddings and other special events.

C.A.:How many orders do you get per week?

Nika:Lately it's been slow with the weather change. I'm more busy in the Summer where I would get like three orders per week.

C.A.:What type of events or parties do you make your cakes for?Nika:Birthdays, Baby Showers, Weddings any event that a cake is needed for.

C.A.:Do you have any future plans or projects for your business?

Nika:I plan on having my own business within two years maybe less, I want to open up my own cake shop. As soon as people see my cakes they ask me do I have any business cards. I get people calling me from parties putting in orders for cakes,so I know that is where I need to be.

C.A.:Where do you bake your cakes and make your crafts?Nika:Currently,I bake and decorate my cakes in my home kitchen. My crafts I do in my home office.

Nika:yes

C.A.:What are you thinking about when you decorate your cakes?Nika:How the outcome will be and hoping it turns out like the sketch I drew or the picture in my mind.

C.A.:Who influences you to do more and keep going?

Nika:My husband and his family they give me compliments and feed back and encourage me to keep at it.

C.A.:What is the price range for your work?

Nika:8" Double layered cakes start out at $25 the highest priced cakes are $200 like the Diaper Bag cake and The Dora cake that sits up, because it takes alot of hard work to do it.
