Spring..Easter Bonnets..and April Fools...

In your Easter bonnet

with all the frills upon it,

You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade..

 

 

 

Spring has sprung...and we are almost to Easter already! Lord, where does the time go? I at least have everything purchased for the Easter baksets ( peeps included!)...however; I need to figure out what the youngins are wearin to church..and that includes the sporting of the Easter bonnet! Which leads me to this next question...Does anyone know the origin of how they came to be? And, do you still partake in the grand fesitivies of wearing them? I can remember my most favorite Easter outfit like it was yesterday, and I believe I was about 8 or 9 years old...it was powder blue, with a matching jacket, white gloves and white Easter bonnet...I felt like a little Jackie O at the time... =) ahhh...the memories of youth...

Ballet Teresa and Barbie....

 This photo was recently taken in a Louisiana Walmart. It seems as though Ballet Teresa here has been discounted to half of her price of her counterpart, Ballet Barbie. Why you may ask, is this a big deal....Walmart is just trying to hit their numbers...it's called inventory management. So, this led me to thinking...do we literally look at everything as color and race, or is this truly a major ordeal? I went to the toyrus.com website, and also found this Superstar Barbie on clearance for $3.00....I also got to pondering about the dolls my daughter plays with...I still have yet to find that perfect doll for her, even among the "mixed" dolls, there still seems to be the usual suspects....so my quest continues...and as for my daughter: i noticed that she has a fair share of the rainbow coalition in her Barbie line-up...and she plays with all of them: even those with missing limbs...and haircuts...=)

Freaknik: The Musical.....umm...seriously...

So...did anyone tune in on Sunday to watch Freaknik: The Musical? It did afterall feature an all star cast....T-Pain, Lil Wayne, Big Boi.....It sure seemed to capture a lot of attention and backlash.....especially from Steve Harvey. Yes, it was directed towards adults... and it was given a Sunday night time slot, and put on Cartoon Network's Adult swim channel...

So, what's the 411 behind all of this hoopla?
I have been reading all of the posts and reviews out there, thanks to all of you bloggers...so i have an idea of what to expect, but nonetheless....it's like a bad train wreck....
