What is your Favorite Book that Became a Movie?
Ok sooo I was reading this book Twilight && everyone said it was to become a movie! ( The book is a great Love Story btw!!! ) And it made me think what is YOUR favorite book that became a movie?Has anyone read the True Blood books?
I know the Dead Until Dark might not have the same fan base as the Twilight books but I was curious, if anyone had read any of them. I just bought the first one and plan to start it this weekend. I love the show and can't wait for next season.
Apostel Paul said cover your head and black women said right on baby!
When the Apostle Paul declared that women shall cover their heads during worship who knew a biblical commandment would have such a profound impact on fashion. Our for-Sistas dating back to African American roots and beyond to the mother land, Africa, today's modern Afro-American women wears centuries of heritage on their heads. "I think it's because it's rooted in the African tradition that says that when one presents oneself before God… that you should be at your best –- that you should present excellence before the Almighty," says Craig Marberry co-author of Crowns. Well even if you have no intention of dressing to the Nines for the "Almighty" you can't deny that Church Ladies bring majestic wisdom refined beauty to the fashion world.
As the early 20th century was finding it's footing Afro-Americans were beginning to enjoy some limited independence. "Sunday church services provided African American women who worked as domestic servants or in other subservient roles the only real chance to break away from their drab, dreary workday uniforms. says Michael Cunningham of Time Magazine and co-author of Crowns. The women typically went for textured fabrics, bright colors and of course the key ingredient flamboyancy, some of the hats I see today have it all over Liberacci in that department. A matching ensemble is also important to the outfit; shoes, pocket book and gloves but I don't need to tell you ladies that right ;)
Hats also served as status symbols.

This isn't a review and I didn't feel like posting this on 4.0I've read this book when it first came out and I have to say it's pretty darn cute. Doesn't advocate anything really and is based on true story.

He thinks it's OK for me not to have orgasm everythime
I know this site is more about relationships and not sex, but i'm a huge fan of Susan Crain Bakos (Sex Bible for Women, The Orgasm Bible and other amazing books). And all that sex education made me find sex goddes inside of me, i practice sex with a partner or alone quite often and strive to reach the big O everytime. I don't get there with my boyfriend everytime and he just stops trying after awhile and just tells me 'it can't happen for a woman everytime'.
