CAMELOT FANTASIES

Ok, first.....
Nooooo. I didn't mean it that way!

My response was to the article - not you GetReal.  Don't even think about making sure of anything.
Post any and all. There is always something in every article - even if I have already read it.
I love this stuff.

Honestly, I pondered for quite a bit after I typed it,  if my response would come off that way.  I had typed it so fast.  I went back and changed some stuff and even considered scrapping it altogether. I should have.
I took a chance- because you are a straight shooter too and I wanted to know if you were thinking the same. I was just rattling my thoughts off really quickly trying not to forget any points.  I figured you would bring your points after me.

I know I do that to you sometimes.   I post articles and I have my own thoughts on it but I've already said so dang much about everything else- I wait for your response and then post my thoughts on that article when you come back.
You should always trust your gut instinct.  So, my bad.
 Sorry. Really. (Hangs head)

I have always loved Lalate. There was a time when TT and that News source were the only ones I would take seriously or quote. Plus, they have ALWAYS backed Kenya.
Girl, They love soccer like you love tennis.  My fiancé keeps up with  soccer there.
I'm glad to hear they are respected amongst other bloggers.  My instincts were right about them.

It is no coincidence the legit sites back her. Notice that?

I just felt like in this instance they were at least on the edge of taking James's side.
You know, almost like Kenya knew they were married before she stated/admitted it.

I don't feel sorry for that wife. She was stupid, agreeing to take the lead and putting herself out there on such a public story when she was considered the 3rd party.  He met Kenya first even if she did get the ring.  He lied to both of them. Something had to sound fishy.

I trust my fiancé with my life but, he can't just bring me anything/explanation and I just take it for gospel.
If something doesn't make sense, I question until it does. When I'm done asking or he's  finished answering and there are still holes well then......
Lets just say, I sure won't be taking any interviews in his defense. You would just have to figure it out or talk to him. Lol
If he didn't know at first, he knows now, not to bring me half baked story's after 4 years. Lol.

I agree @ Vivica. She ran her mouth til she got something didn't she?    You're right. Maybe that will shut her up.
But, she'd better work on making sure she gets some fans other than Kenya haters or she'll be back doing church services.
You know, she had started that ish too. Smh.

She sure found out "she ain't got it like that" coming for Kenya though. Ha!

Soooo ticked too, at that busted Janet Huberts sick, broke azz. 
If she was sooo against any and everything HW's and Bravo why would she even do Kenya's pilot in the first place?   And since she was sooo pro sistah- why would she try and ruin another's dream knowing how few chances we are afforded in this industry? For Women period.
So stupid, all of that drama she caused.
I too, hope Kenya gets the last laugh at that one.  She really upset me.

@ Porsha. Ewww. Such a slide from the woman who made the "you don't know the conviction of a wife" speech huh?  Fake.
The best thing she ever did was marry Kordell.  He at least made her look and act like a lady for the most part.
As soon as he drop kicked her she went for Kenya's hair and back to video ho status.  Immediate plummet.
 
And she's so stupid thinking her glam squad is doing her any favors. I bet they are cookie cutters and everyone they do work for ends up looking just like her.
She's obviously getting what she pays for. Someone who makes up men for drag shows. You can't use them for everything.
 They should know how to soften her features. What we see is proof that they do not.

You're right - her nasty life has become her aura.  It makes her look dirty - her glow is like headlights through smog.  She needs to work extra hard  just to look bad. 

LMAO @ your story about the false teeth. Ok. You feel me. Lol.
Now, I loooove older people. So much reverence.  Getting older yourself will do that to you. LOL!

You're so right about Kids....seeing through their eyes and this is perfect: "so many layers to everything that you can't even explain it to them sufficiently."
And this...."The mind of a child. No wonder you can't get through to them. They are just not equipped."
....is just everything.
I can't even tell you the screwy rationale. Good thing my mom threatened us lol.
....and the opportunities I let slide thinking they were on a continuous loop...... Smh.

I was a mature kid and I was screwy- I can't imagine the normal thinkers.
It's why you can't leave kids to their own devices- even if they are mature.
Think of all the kids raising themselves with crappy hands off parents. Tragic.
So true- @ 13-14, Everyone over 24 is ancient.

My 14 year old niece was telling us a random story, when my mom asked who was the guy in question and my niece retorted, "I don't know, some old dude"

Of course we all pipe up at once,
 " how old is he?"
  Her response;
"I don't know, 25 or something like that"
Girl, all of us sitting there could do nothing but fall out  laughing  and feel old as dirt.
I remembered thinking and feeling  the same way though - just like you said.
When I was 21, a woman told me if she couldn't have her second baby by the time she was 30 she wouldn't try anymore. I thought a 30 year old pregnant woman was the nastiest thing I had ever heard. And I was 21!
Kids are so silly.

I agree- I loved  to be around older girls too.  Remember, I had older sibs.  My 3 oldest sisters were heaven to me.
They were beautiful and sophisticated. My oldest was my idol. She was 22-3 when I was 12.

I would give my right arm to be in their company at that age and had crushes on their boyfriends.  Lol. I was soooo, hurt when they went away to college.

Coming up, my friends other than my closest first cousins were older because I was more mature. I  Dated older guys too.  I talked to and hung out with them- held hands  but, was never interested in "boys"

Now oddly, most - 99% even -of my friends are younger.

Girl, your response to my story made me die laughing. Sure glad it wasn't YOU sitting beside me. My sis was bad enough.

You know, looking back I'm not sure why we didn't leave- we have certainly done that before.....Raced out of a church and other places.

I think because, first of all we couldn't even get ourselves together to stand up and because we were practically the only ones there getting up to leave would really have been a disaster.  It would have been the walk of shame. We were crazy enough to think we could pull it together and act as if nothing has happened. Not.

You know, we shout and praise in our church but, Communion was always a very solemn, sophisticated, very regimented  (for lack of better words) ceremony.

So girl, when they rolled out that Loaf of bread we were through. Lawwwwd.

We don't remember to this day, the ride home, my big sisters reaction- the closing prayer.....NOTHING except that service. It was that traumatic. Lol.

Girl, the church stories are endless.

Now, I know I can't go anywhere with you!  You are worse than me!  How is that possible? Lolololol!
I am shedding tears thinking about the possibilities.

Who am I kidding. I can't wait. Lol!

Ok, I will be calling you next week.  I'll be getting in and will have some time Between Tues and Thursday.  I know your schedule is crazy like mine.  Let me know the times that work best for you!

Girl, what on earth are you talking about! I loved how you broke that article down. That was major awesome. I had not looked at that article with a critical eye; I was just so blown away at Lalate doing damage control for Kenya. Remember, I was not familiar with Lalate until TT mentioned it several months ago, so I didn’t have a long history with it as you do. For me, it was so gratifying to see someone not blaming, accusing, and trying to make her look like a fool. I was so happy.

But you gave a wonderful assessment of the article’s content. I thought it was masterful. You know I’m into breaking things down too, so no way am I going to be offended by someone having a better take on something than I do. I can learn from anybody, children and all. The more someone broadens my perspective, the better. I was in no way offended and was giving you the highest honors. I would not want to be on your bad side, ever. You are amazing.

Your response was lovely. Please do not give that another thought. I love smart and intelligent people, but you my dear, are brilliant. I have never met anyone with a mind like yours and I look forward to learning even more from you. You are the master. Keep it coming and never hold back. I know your heart and know that you would never come from a bad place. You totally misread my communication. That was up there with some of your best posts. I loved it. 

I had no idea that Lalate backed Kenya. That’s great. Although I’ve just learned of Lalate recently, I have noticed that the other “news” outlets have softened quite a bit towards Kenya. Some were horrible to her and now, even they are looking at her with a clearer head. It’s not a coincidence either that as Kenya is rising in relevance; the others are sinking. Have you noticed that? Nene is not getting the passes that she used to get, and neither are Porsha and Phaedra. Good will always triumph over evil.

“I just felt like in this instance they were at least on the edge of taking James's side.”

I didn’t feel that way at all. I thought the emphasis was on the fact that Kenya had not lied and done MMM as a publicity stunt. They pointed out:
1.   Kenya never  said that James was in Vegas with her.

2.   That she never said she was engaged to him, or that he had even given her the ring.

And some other stuff, but I thought they did a great job of clearing her name as far as any shenanigans go. I’ll have to read the article again, because I didn’t get that feeling at all.

The jury is still out for me on when those two got married, if they even are married. If their timeline is true, then why did they bother with the fake Facebook page? Why did no one congratulate them until a month later? None of it makes sense. It’s a scam, but for whose benefit? That’s the burning question.

The wife invalidates the story if you ask me. If what she said was true, then yes, she’s an idiot, because she really shouldn’t have had any issue with Kenya. She should’ve had an issue with her lying man. The only good thing is that she sounded so stupid, talking about he went on a national TV show and forgot about it. She’s pretty gullible to even go along with that mess if you ask me. I’m the same way. You get yourself in a bind, you get yourself out. I am not a caped crusader fixing someone else’s problems.

Ha ha ha. That blew up very nicely in Vivica’s face, didn’t it? She thought this was 2013, when Nene and Crew were successful in painting Kenya in such a bad light. Things have changed and Viv learned that the hard way. Kenya’s fans, her own fans, and most bloggers didn’t take kindly to her nasty ways. And the cherry on top was the fact that people did not tune in to see her dog out Kenya. Egg on both her and Andy’s face.

“Or she'll be back doing church services.”

No, I did not, church services? You’re kidding, right? She sure did. I wonder if we’ll hear any more from her on Kenya. She’d be a fool if she tried it again.

Janet? So stupid. Nothing she did made sense. She just shot herself in the foot, yet again. Kenya tried to back that fool back from the ashes and that’s how she behaved? It will a cold day in hell when anyone chooses to work with her again. Unnecessary drama, and for what?

“the conviction of a wife” speech? Whut? Kordell must be thanking his lucky star. He did the right thing giving that chick the boot. It must have been h*ll living with her for as long as he did. She’s too stupid to live with, especially in a life-long commitment. She’s nothing but trash. He said she was trying to emulate Nene when she was staying out all night. He locked the doors on her and it was the best decision he ever made, IMO. .Whoever is on her glam team needs to be shot. She looks more like a drag queen every day.

Girl, we are but for a minute. Where did the time go? It sure changes your perspective on age, that’s for darn sure. I remember one day this girl came into the restroom at work and she looked depressed. I asked her if she was OK and looked at me wistfully and said, “Life would’ve been so much easier if we had listened to our parents.” Yes.
I was mature and all the things I got wrong are downright embarrassing. If you start out with a noodle for a brain…well, there you go.

Ha ha ha, @ your niece and the “old man.” That’s about right. I remember when my son was in the first grade, he came telling me about this bully on the bus. I asked him what grade the boy was in. he was adamant that the boy was so big and so old. To hear him tell it, this teenager was six feet tall, with a beard and mustache, who smoked Newports and drank alcohol. I said, “You’re exaggerating.” And he would not back down. I finally had to break it down to him that his school only went to the third grade and the boy could be older than eight or nine. But, I understood, at that age even two years older seems like an adult.
In the early years another two or three years take on a much greater significance. I find that it extends to your twenties, until you turn about 28 or 2, that’s when you realize, “Hey, I’m not old and I’m already pushing 30.”

Me and my oldest sister were so tight. She took me everywhere with her. She used to style my hair in all of these cute hairstyles, roll it up at night, and everything. I didn’t put my hands in my own hair until I was 17 and she had married and moved away.

You know you write like a novelist, don’t you? Your words are so visual. They absolutely take me there. I was seriously crying and choking when I read that part. I didn’t want it to end.

And no, I could no have been there. At all. You’d better be glad I wasn’t there, because I can’t hold it in situations like that. I would’ve slid off the pew, onto the floor and let the laughter take me there. And I know I would’ve been on the floor because my limbs get weak and won’t support me. You are a much better woman than I am because he would’ve had to be mad at me. I’m sorry I would’ve pretended like I had to go to the restroom and never came back. I could not have stayed till the end of that service; No way, no how. The bread? Leave that part out if you don’t know people’s heart condition. You’d been done gave somebody a heart attack. That was the funniest thing I have ever read about a church service in my life.

One of my girlfriends and I are like that. We can’t hold it. period.

We went to this wedding reception and this lady at the table kept talking to me all night. I could barely talk to my friend for Mary. We were chatting up a storm, but it was only because she wouldn’t leave me alone. Finally, I got up, telling her that I was going to dance. Well, you already know that Mary was in the mood to dance, too. I couldn’t tell her to sit her old @zz down, so she followed me onto the dance floor.. while I was looking for my “spot,” Mary says, “Do the bump with me.” The Bump?” WTH. But, I acquiesced. We started doing the bump and it was the grossest thing I’ve ever experienced in my life. It felt like this woman had no bones in her body, just meat. She wasn’t particularly heavy, but I don’t know what it was. Every time I tried to do the bump, it felt like I was sinking into a feather bed. It was the most uncomfortable feeling that I’ve ever experienced.
Later on, they did a Soul Train Line and I decided to sit it out for fear of Mary. I ambled over to the dance floor to see who would be Mary’s next victim. Sure enough Mary picked my friend to go down the line with. My friend started doing the bump with Mary and you had to be there to see the look of confusion on her face. I’m sure she felt exactly what I had experienced. I was leaning against a pillar laughing until tears rolled down my face. I had to sit down I was so weak. After the dance we were ready to go. We walked out to the car and neither one of us said a word. My friend is one of those people who tries to never say a mean word about anyone. We got in the car and she started to drive off. I could see that she was struggling to say something, but I waited. We had barely gotten out of the parking lot when she turned to me and said, “Did you dance with Mary?” to which I replied, “yes.” We drove a little bit more. Finally, she said, “did you notice anything unusual?” “Girl, I lost it. I said, “You mean like the fact that she had a mush butt?“ we laughed so hard we had to pull over. My friend had experienced the exact same thing. To this day I can’t explain what her body felt like, but it was oh, so, gross.
No, we probably couldn’t go anywhere together where some unfortunate circumstances arose, but I’m going to tell you now, when it comes to laughter I have a hard time holding it in.  But, at the same time, it’s what good memories are made of.

I’m always available. I’m a recluse. LOL.
