Nappy Novels!!
"Be proud of your nappily status. Live your life in 3D"
Thomas portrays a believable young family tested by real-life concerns and enhanced by the shiny celebrity angle, but it's her wry humor that keeps this delightful series blooming." --Publisher's Weekly for Un-Nappily In Love
Venus and Jake live Nappily Married in Atlanta
"This is a riveting story about Venus and Jake, her movie-star husband. It's a hairy ride to see if love and trust can survive one scandal and surprise after another. Thomas does it again with a fantastic read." -Romantic Times
"Thomas once again lets her characters tell their stories in lively and distinctive voices. Smartly paced, fast and funny."--Kirkus Reviews
"Brilliantly funny, black-girl power chick lit."--Hype Hair"This latest novel proves that Thomas has few peers when spinning a cliffhanger."--Essence Magazine
------
"Nappily Ever After. It's beautiful, funny, but has a deep message about women. Women slave for their hair! It's all about how we compare ourselves to other women, how we size ourselves up. It's a look at this one woman's life, and she goes through this metamorphosis when she gets rid of her hair. Not only does she feel different, but people treat her differently. She's now more like an alien than the hottest chick on the block. She's got to reboot and discover who she really is."-- Halle Berry(Harpers Bazaar)

I found that Vintage 1954 JET Magazine Cover when I googled something...I don't even remember what I was looking for online but this picture literally popped up on (YBF). I have watched Carmen a kazillion times. I rented it from the library and had all kinds of late fees when I finally returned it! LOL!... I had never seen that magazine cover before. After stumbling upon that pic it prompted me to google Carmen Jones, the film and ran into these photo stills on (IMDB.com). I love watching old black and white musicals...I just rented Porgy and Bess this past weekend. Those where the days before digital imaging and photoshopped celebs. Rare and raw talent! These movies had the drama, romance and suspense like the movies of today but they just had more substance and depth back then, if you ask me... Netflix and the local library have all the oldies but goodies!!

Happy Anniversary Mr & Mrs. Eric Roberson! CONGRATS!!!
Bride: Shawn Martha Renee Roberson, 33
Groom: Eric Roberson, 35
Occupations: Eric, R&B artist and songwriter; Shawn, strategic planning executive
Homebase: New Jersey
Wedding Date: August 10, 2008
Wedding Location: Pennsylvania
Sweet Melody: Eric Roberson met his wife, Shawn Martha Renee Roberson, through a mutual friend after one of his shows. The two shared very similar paths but had never met. Each of their families hails from North Carolina and they are both Howard University alums. "She told me she bought my first album, "Esoteric," and told me it was amazing," recalls Eric with a laugh. "All I kept thinking was, Oh yeah, tell me more."
Let's Make It Official: After ending relationships with other partners, neither Eric nor Shawn was ready to assume titles, so, to take the pressure off, they just kicked it and spent a lot of quality time with one another. They only made it official when Eric's mom made them face the music. "My mom asked us, 'If she does this would you get mad? And if he does this would you be mad?' " explains Eric. "We both answered yes, and she said simply, 'Then y'all are boyfriend and girlfriend!' " They dated for eight years before walking down the aisle.
Her Pre-Proposal: The couple dated for eight years before getting engaged. Ironically, Eric wasn't the one with the jitters; it was Shawn. "Everyone kept asking what was taking me so long, but Shawn was the one dragging her feet," says Eric. "But then she started leaving bridal mags around as if to give me a hint when she changed her mind, but I was like, Oh no, if you want to get married you're gonna have to let me know." And she did, by surprising and whisking him away to Ziwataneo, Mexico, for a weeklong getaway in October 2006, where she proposed to him with a ring during a candlelit dinner on a mountaintop. "I asked him if he would be my partner for life," says Shawn. "I wanted him to know how much I loved him and that I did want to marry him one day."
His Proposal: A year later, Eric escorted Shawn to their favorite restaurant, Budda Khan, in Philadelphia, for an impromptu dinner, where he surprised her with a jack-in-the-box proposal. "I ordered everything for us and fed her the entire evening," says the singer. "When it was time for dessert I ordered these donuts that we love and had the waiter put the ring in the donut box carton to bring out to her before she was too full to eat. She had no clue, and when she finally figured out what the ring box was for she started crying as I proposed to her, she started crying until I yelled "Answer me!" (Laughs.)
The Ceremony: Family and friends gathered at the Lake House Inn in Perkasie, Pennsylvania, to witness Eric and Shawn become the Robersons. Three boys preceded the bridal party down the aisle toting mini red and black guitars for Eric, which was a perfect accent to their cranberry and chocolate color scheme. As Shawn's brother, grandfather and father walked her down the aisle, Eric didn't leave a dry eye in the room when he serenaded his wife with the heartfelt "You Are So Beautiful." "I lost it when I realized he was singing to me because he never really sings like that outside of his performances," says Shawn. "In the midst of my tears I was also laughing because Eric got choked up and to avoid getting so emotional in the middle of the song he yelled ‘Lord, help me!'"
Eight years ago, singer and songwriter Eric Roberson got more than he bargained for after one of his shows: he met his future wife, Shawn.
“We’re both Howard University alums but had never met,” says Eric. “She told me my first album,”Esoteric," was amazing and that’s all she wrote after that."
“We’re both Howard University alums but had never met,” says Eric. “She told me my first album,”Esoteric," was amazing and that’s all she wrote after that."
With only eyes for each other, the newlyweds enjoy a sweet kiss.“Eric taught me the true meaning of love and patience,” says Shawn. “I haven’t felt more secure and safe with anyone else.”
Shawn and Eric chose legendary rap trio Tribe Called Quest’s anthem “Bonita Applebaum” as their introduction song as a married couple.
“I love that my wife loves rap music and can go lyric for lyric with me on just about any song,” says Eric. “We both love Tribe and the song was perfect for us.”
Song from former member of Zhane...----------
