Greetings ladies and gentlemen. I hope today finds you all blessed and highly favored. Before I start my piece, I would like to apologize to Presidential hopeful John Kerry for the Ohio Baptist church member who shouted out the words “Big Phony” as Kerry was speaking to a congregation this past Sunday. These kinds of actions are not only rude, but extremely disrespectful. I truly wish I could have been in that congregation last Sunday because whoever “spoke out of term” needs to get his or her @ss smacked about the face and head! Here we are trying to get "The Devil" G.W. Bush out of office and this idiot is choosing to berate and degrade our only hope! What in the hell is wrong with people?? Dumb@ss! Now with that being said, I want to encourage you to VOTE people! If you’re not registered, get registered. Alright, enough of that. Let me proceed with this week’s commentary.

As we battle the dog days of summer, I find myself being more observant of the clothing men and women are wearing nowadays. As much as I despise looking at these bamma-@ss dudes walking around here with their shirts falling past their knees and the abundance of variant Air Jordan’s and Air Force I’s, I choose not to focus on them today. I’ll save that for another week. Today however, I would like for you women to lend me your ears because today is YOUR day.

Ladies, there are a couple of popular fashion trends at the moment that a lot of you all are jumping on. But in all honesty, you all need to keep your @sses seated!

One trend that is irking the hell out of me are these ghetto ass “slippers” that are being converted into multi-purpose shoes. For those who have not seen what I am referring to, these shoes literally look like house slippers that have a mesh-like covering and most often possess various ugly-@ss sequins designs from the toe to middle foot area. To paraphrase from Dave Chappelle’s Chappelle Show character “Player Hater of the Year” Silky Johnson, these are some of the ugliest, most despicable foot garments that I have ever seen……..in my ENTIRE life! These shoes make the wearer look as lazy as the women we see at the grocery stores with big-@ss pink rollers in their heads and bedroom slippers on! Ladies, I know you have always wanted to ask those women “why in the hell did you come out the house looking like that?” Well, now I want to ask you the same damn thing!! It is not justifiable just because the fur on the slippers has been replaced with plastic, sequins and pipe cleaners!! MAN PLEASE!!

I have been told that these “Chinese slipper” shoes retail at Payless Shoe Stores for about $4.99 when in all actuality, they don’t deserve $0.49 for these sh!ts! A word of advice: ladies if you are going to pay little or nothing for footwear, go to The Gap and cop you a pair of those color thong sandals, they sell for $10.00-$12.00. They come in a plethora of solid colors and striped patterns…and hell, they’re on sale right now for like four bucks! These sandals, as cheap as they may be in price, are actually cute (provided your feet don't look like you've been kicking rocks for a living). And is that not the main objective for all women…to look cute?!

I was going to continue on my rant and speak on the ‘low-rise-jeans-on-big-girls’ phenomenon, but thinking about how you bammas are looking this summer is quite draining. Until next time folks, get it together.


Peace
