The World POST OPRAH




Hello Hon-Tey's!


If your anything like me your probably struggling to deal with The Post Oprah Effect.  Like many Americans and abroad I have watched Oprah for many years, and like many the world normally would stop when her show came on.  I remember as a youngster watching big Oprah, small Oprah and in between Oprah...and if you were like many of her faithful viewers you fail to notice her ever changing metamorphoses.





However, it was after the Color Purple came out that I began to view Oprah Winfrey in a totally different light.  She wasn't just an articulate black woman with a talk show, but she was now an actress. An actress that got my full attention in a movie that later made its way into my collection of noteworthy DVD's.  It was the role of Sophia, Harpo's outspoken, brash and tell it like it T.I.S. wife!  Sophia was my favorite character in the movie, and later I felt slighted when I noticed her name wasn't part of the movie poster credits. 



Now at 9am on weekdays what am I supposed to do with my time?  I can't look forward to Oprah walking out in her Christian Louboutins.  I can't look forward to Oprah saying, "Closed Captioning is brought to you by the following ".  I can't look forward to Oprah having an occasional "sista gurl" moment."  I can't look forward to Oprah looking at a guest like, "Who booked yo crazy azz?"  I can't look forward to Oprah speaking of the "Ugly Cry"! And finally, I can't look forward to Oprah propping her feet on the back of her heels because she doesn't like to wear heels! 




Whatever it is you and millions of others will miss about the Big O, what will forever stand out in my mind is her last show in which she said, "You also have to know what sparks the light in you so that you in your own way can illuminate the world.  You have the power to change somebody's life." That quote will live in me forever!  YAAAAAS Hon-Tey!

Kola Boof - Osama Bin Laden Mistress Speaks



Hello Hon-Tey's!

Kola Boof 

Osama dead, but his mistress tells all! Kola Boof, was Osama Bin Ladens mistress for years. She was one of his "leader" mistresses.  After being called a liar for years, she speaks and Hon-Tey the story she tells makes one think, "Really Lady?!"


Kola Boof recently stated in several press organizations that she meet Osama and fell in love under nontraditional circumstances--after he raped her the first time they met. However, after attempts to make her story public and tell the truth the media shut her down, saying, "she wasn't pretty enough."


She went on to call Osama a "monster, a genius, a poet, a racist woman basher and a very passionate, deeply  sensitive confused being."  and added with emphasis, "Like all of us, he was somebody's child."



Boofs states, "Osama rapped me the first night we met. But out of my fear and determination to survive we became comrades; lovers; we wrote poetry together, I did his hair, I cooked for him, he gave me jewels and money; sent me to Milan on shopping sprees; buried one of his guards that I killed and made it so I only did one night in jail.  Living at La Maison Arabe was hardly the life of a slave--I wasn't in chains, honey."  



According to Kola she was torn down because she was a Black woman of Egyptian/Sudanese descent and not what "white powerful news controllers" wanted to promote.  She adds that one of Osama's wives Najwa Bin Laden referred to her as his "nigger slave whore" a term she obviously didn't appreciate from the "pitiful head covered door mat jockey."

Boof also states, "It hurts to have so much valuable information; so much intelligence and to be so truthful and articulate--yet have "white powerful news controllers" decide that you're not the right image for what they'd like to promote.  Therefore, part of history is always missing.

WHEW!  I don't know about you, but it looks like Ms Boof wanted to go down in history with Osama!  She seems less like a sex slave and mistress...but more of an "ATTENTION WHORE."

Gary Norman Jr , Author, Director, Producer and Publisher


Hello Hon-Tey's!

As you already know I like to give credit where credit is due...and with keeping my promise I would like to put a bug in your ear.  His name is GARY NORMAN JR.  He's one of Chicago's own up and coming Author, Director, Producer and Publisher.  WHEW!  I'm out of breath just typing all of that!

I got the chance to meet Gary while providing services (make up artistry) for his fabulous stage play PINK OCTOBER, based on his novel. PINK OCTOBER is about living with cancer.  The key word is living.  It points out that you are not diagnosed with it and then you die.  There is life before, during and after diagnosis.   This play made me laugh, cry and think on how this horrible disease has taken so many of my loved ones. PINK OCTOBER is not just about cancer, but various types of relationships and situations amongst family, friends and lovers.  PINK OCTOBER puts a fresh perspective on an old problem that has been outted and is now battled openly by the masses.
