The Best Wedding Date!

I was invited to a black tie wedding a few months back. Can't go black tie without a plus one. I was a little stressed about who to take. Having broken up with my boyfriend and no date potentials in sight. After much thought and deliberation I decided to ask my dear friend Mark.


Mark and I have a few things in common we both lived in the United Kingdom, now we live in D.C. we both love all things gossip girl and have a crush on Chase Crawford.  Mark was excited to accompany me to the wedding. He even bought his first suite ever for the occasion (which he to returned the next day).

Mark was the absolute perfect date. He never let my glass go empty he asked the single ladies at the table to dance and made it clear to the single guys that we were NOT dating and that they absolutely should talk to me. He may have been the best wing man/wedding date EVER.

This was not just a win for me. Mark got to have a great night of dancing, schmoozing, and all the booze he could drink.

With wedding season fast approaching...something to think about when planning your next date.

Something New

As I was flipping through the channels last night I am came across this movie. This is a movie about a black women who is looking for her IBM (Ideal Black Man) and finds her self with a white guy.  Check out this clip.

The List- Something New

The movie states that 42.4% of black women never get married. As alarming as that statisic is Kenya the main character in the movie also points out that 57.6%  do get married.  So why focus on the negative.
