INTERRACIAL TV COUPLE - Guinivere and Arthur - MERLIN / SyFy

This is the story of King Arthur of Camelot and his love for his maidservant in this updated version of this tale which this time, features an interracial couple on the SyFy TV series, Merlin.

Merlin centers around the shenanigans of the charming but clumsy magician, {played by actor Colin Morgan}, who is King Arthurs' best friend; but it also focuses on the love story between the two main characters, King Arthur {played by actor Bradley James} and Guinivere or Gwenivere {played by actress Angel Coulby}.

As you can see, the role of Gwen/Guin, who has almost always been traditionally played by white actresses, is this time played by the beautiful Angel, who is black.

This is an international version of this show. I believe its shot in the U.K., most likely Ireland.

She is paired with the delicious young blonde Arthur as they handle mishaps and adventures with Merlins' assistance...or hindrance, LOL...its pure comedy sometimes watching them interact.

However, as you can see, its a very beautiful pairing. I'm think they confirmed a fourth season, so it should be returning very shortly now.

Be sure and support shows that "feature" couples like us.

DILEMMA: What constitutes RACE? The debate of the "One Drop Rule"

HELP ME OUT, HERE. I've written several stories on this blog regarding race and racial relations, womens issues, dating, marriage, etc...I'm having a WONDERFUL time doing so. I've learned, I've explored, It's been amazing, STILL is.

I've gotten a couple of comments I wish to address in this post.

Now....I LOVE MY POSTERS....I DO, SO PLEASE...don't let this stop or dissuade you. NOT AT ALL. This blog is for knowledge, education, awareness, guidance, etc....we're here to help each other understand, so let's talk about this, alright. DON'T take this personally.

OK....Someone pointed out to me that Paula Patton is "Bi-Racial, FYI"...now, I'm not mad, not at all. Just wondering about the...need for clarification as to her racial makeup as the FIRST classification of her race instead of the color of her skin...c'mon now, stay with me:  this is all for conversation, so let's do this.

And then again, another person STRAIGHT UP pointed out to me that Marta Cunningham is "Bi-Racial", NOT black; I don't take it personally....really, I don't. It's all good.

But, {lol}...I couldnt help but wonder...how should I take these statements, exactly. There's actually several ways I took those statements.

The first being...why the Paula Patton statement referred to her, SPECIFICALLY, as a Bi-Racial woman and not a BLACK woman. In first view of Paula, she...looks like a BLACK woman...not dark-skinned nor even mid-tone brown, but LIGHT-SKINNED, nonetheless, a BLACK WOMAN.

Even Paula herself has stated that she considers herself a BLACK WOMAN...that's good, because SHE IS. And she has never proclaimed to be anything other than a black woman.

For the Marta Cunningham statement...I'm just...beside myself in laughter and some shock because...I used the pictures to show the obvious {besides that they are a BEAUTIFULLY STUNNING COUPLE} difference as that was the focus of my post...an interracial marriage. I didn't believe I was offending anyone nor undermining ones' race.

Now...another point I'm wondering about from these two points of view brought to my attention is: So? So what if she's considered a "BLACK" woman? Is there something wrong with being referred to as a "black" woman? Do they need to be...elevated to another...or BETTER status than that of a black woman? Why the need to...separate them as "Bi-racial" instead of....BLACK?

 

Why was it necessary for this to be "pointed out" for me to "clarify" that these aren't "black" women, but "bi-racial" women?! Is this the new normal? Is it a "race within a race?" IS it just related to the black race or also Jewish, Italian, Greek, Indian...if you're more Italian than Irish, are you Italian...or if you're more Asian than white, are you considered white...more Jewish than black, are you Jewish? What is it, then? TELL me...THIS inquiring mind WANTS to know...LOL.

What's the real issue behind those statements...is it that they are true? Or...that they are factual? Alright, yes to BOTH. Guess what's also true AND factual? They are BOTH BLACK WOMEN. BLACK and BEAUTIFUL WOMEN...not just "bi-racial" as they would BOTH POINT OUT THEMSELVES...but BLACK. 

Paula has even said that she finds the term "bi-racial" OFFENSIVE...she DOESN'T LIKE IT. That's what she said.

THIS MUST BE the reason why Gabriel Aubry is fighting with Halle Berry about the race of their daughter, Nahla. Supposedly, Gabe HATES his daughter being referred to as "Black" while Halle, who has ALWAYS considered herself a BLACK woman, ALSO REFERS to her daughter as BLACK. Halle went even further in declaring her point as to quote the controversial and racist {but legal} notion of the "One Drop Rule" of racial ethnicity....being, whatever RACE and RELIGION of the mother, so {I believe also} LEGALLY goes the child. NOT always, but I'll try to clarify that ahead.

Is it REALLY that...detrimental to be a BLACK woman that there needs to be a clarification of the makeup of these women that are of mixed-race?

I know it's indoctrination...I KNOW this...I'm a black woman and I have mixed-race children. My children, for some time, considered themselves WHITE; in their young age, they already KNOW, but I've clarified that; they are PROUD BLACK CHILDREN of MIXED RACE, but BLACK nonetheless. Because, they are mixed-race, but legally BLACK children. Bottom line.

About the one-drop rule, think of it this way...there are PLENTY of people who have mixed-race children.  Those offspring are sometimes more obvious of their make-up, some are NOT. Mariah Carey LOOKS WHITE; she'll tell you she's BLACK, then of mixed race. Paula Patton DOES NOT look white, she looks BLACK, yes mixed, but BLACK. Derek Jeter looks...LATIN, actually.

Tiger Woods looks BLACK. See what I mean. Tigers' crazy ass even made up a race for himself, calling himself ... dang, what was it again ... I wanna say "Blasian", but it was more than that; Blasian is a widely-used  term, where the one Tiger "made up" was for him alone on this planet; it was CRAZY, LOL. I can't remember at this moment what he called it, but he did NOT want to be referred to as a "Black" man. Even take a look at Tigers' children...even with a lily-white SWEDISH BLONDE ex-wife, their children LOOK BLACK; mixed-race, but BLACK.

You notice now, though...Tiger IS BLACK NOW that he's fallen from grace in society eyes; he's DEFINITELY a black man now. Y'all KNOW what I'm talking about.

So, help me out here....what am I missing?! Since when is it alright to make an entire new race classification instead of being referred to as "Black" or whatever racial group you most resemble? Is it right or acceptable to not be specified to a certain group? Maybe...it SHOULD be...or is it merely a preference that is ever-changing AND rising in numbers and should be classified as such.

Tell me....HELP ME understand, I really want to know...LOL.

INDOCTRINATION: Societal Suppression Of Black Female Beauty, Pt. 2

The sun seems to finally be setting on a "brand" of humor and humiliation that has plagued black women since the beginning of all things recognizable. Some might argue against that...and it may be so, but I refuse to be on the negative side of that argument. There IS a positive side that is WORKING.

I'm using the picture above to show us - as black women - watching this part of our suffering as it begins its demise for those of us who REFUSE to be identified with the seemingly normal and degrading depiction of "us" in mainstream media, pop culture and life in general.

Now....I'm not the only one that has noticed, as of late, a brand new streaming of "black woman bashing" commercials going on on national television.

I will only MENTION them in writing here as they are not WORTHY of being represented NOR viewed in video, in my selfish and stubborn opinion on this matter.


Here are TWO of the {most recent} high profile offenders:

A}. Pepsi Superbowl Commercial. 

FIRST: DON'T get me started on {the "black womans"} badly-done hair. That may sound vain....not entirely, but of course. Who wouldn't want to look their BEST on national television...however, they portrayed her/"us" as "attempting" to look attractive. BIG difference. If you don't get that, you never will.

Make NO mistake, that was done on PURPOSE to show "us" in a NEGATIVE LIGHT; to SHOW us as being "wanna-be" or what they believe we "ARE"...we WANNA have that pretty hair or look pretty---then shows the audience what they believe we "are" - I'll leave assumption that to the negative seekers.

Pepsi is a MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR corporation. They couldn't have used NATURAL hair OR a LACE FRONT wig OR WEAVE on this...."model"...she sold herself AND the REST OF US, OUT with that "look". NO EXCUSES...if you got a job like that, demand some level of RESPECT.  "They" ALWAYS find someone willing to sell their soul...and ours!!!!

SECOND: this commercial started off as an angry black woman, always nagging "the black man", taking away from him, picking on him, belittling him, degrading him...and him {the VICTIM, mind you} just taking it, taking it, taking it...to the point where they are sitting in the park while she's enjoying her Pepsi; then comes along another woman, who sits close to them and it is THAT woman HE pays respect to AND that woman SHOWS HIM RESPECT - AND INTEREST, with just a simple smile...and she is a white woman....a BLONDE, too. The ULTIMATE white woman {so they say...LOL..."ya don't say"...riiiight, whatever!} LOLOL.

So what does this "black woman" do? Throws her Pepsi can at the black man, MISSING him, but STRIKING the WHITE WOMAN, who is INJURED...and the black couple FLEE the scene TOGETHER, leaving this injured woman on the ground...THAT'S THE COMMERCIAL!!! SMH. 

That SPEAKS VOLUMES about "their" perception of....black women {unattractive, jealous, angry, violent}, black men {always running from any and ALL responsibility} and white women {being victimized by BLACKS - male AND female - OR black people in GENERAL being a threat to whites, period.}

Get it???? Got it??? GOOD!!!!


Now, don't write me about being paranoid; no sir, no ma'am. Just a REALIST. Just someone {and those like me who refuse be be identified as such} who has {and may or very well, WILL} SUFFER from these stereotypical "suggestions". This isn't about conspiracies, it's about FACT AND EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DO NOT think for a mere MOMENT that that wasn't all CHOREOGRAPHED to PERFECTION to cast black women in the WORST NEGATIVE LIGHT and during what is the most WATCHED PERIOD of advertising, period, the SUPERBOWL , for goodness sakes. Pepsi certainly made their point...black women are "fake", "angry", "bossy", "mean" AND JEALOUS of WHITE WOMEN, especially BLONDES.


That's the message that was CONVEYED...it was LOUD AND CRYSTAL C-L-E-A-R!!!!!



B}. Nicki Minaj on Saturday Night Live {SNL}.


A few weeks back, Ms. Minaj was on SNL. *SIGHS*. 

Guest host was the lilly-white, JEWISH Jesse Eisenberg.


Now, we all {should} know that Nicki is the protege of the dark-skinned, self-hating-and-black-woman-hating Lil {as in lil-to-no brains, morals, ethics, soul, etc} Wayne. Nicki used to have darker-skin, but Wayne "saw" to that. She had an average black booty too, but, Wayne also "whored-out her look" to the max for HIS profit...and she really believes he's "helping" her....yes Nicki, he is....to DESTROY yourself AND other black women as well. He's doing real good at it, too....but, I digress.


So, it should come as no surprise that Nicki went on SNL and spoofed "The Bride of Blackenstein", I believe it was; making ALL BLACK WOMEN EVERYWHERE, all SHADES of black women, look like the COONS and BUFFOONS that the audience and ALL {black women & black people hating folks} WATCHING and HOPING--really believe and/or WANT TO BELIEVE "we" {especially black women} actually are.

Oh, don't worry. SNL also provided a couple of black "males" - since no real "men" would do this - to ALSO demean and regress themselves, {as black men} and black women, as SNL/NBC wanted it portrayed here.


SO....Nicki sits up and "comes alive" and the FIRST THING she does - is shake her jelly ass; camera all up on it, close-up, etc. The two buffoons in the room equate her worth with ONLY the size of her ass....cause when she opens her mouth to speak, it's degrading blaxploitation JIVE, STUPIFIED rhetoric, worthy only of the Purple Velvet "Crown Royal" Bag Ghetto Projects Hood Rat Award.


To make matters WORSE...yes, it did get worse....Jesse Eisenberg utters from his MOUTH...how he came to "make" this bride...he got her bits and parts from various places in a series of humiliating statements, INCLUDING her MOUTH...which he got from a "HOE WHO DIDN'T KNOW HER PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!" 


I.........stopped watching at that point. All I could do was look at Nicki....who was just standing there, in room full of "males" UTTERLY DISRESPECTFUL not only to her, but ALL BLACK WOMEN; in front of an audience, on NATIONAL TELEVISION, in front of the WORLD...and she's a willing party to this. I would feel pity for her if I believed she deserved it, but I reserved that sorrow for the "rest of us" who have to endure the consequences of the actions of a few like these.


Do you think Jesse Eisenberg...OR SNL, NBC, PEPSI....would've done that to...let's say, Natalie Portman...or Cameron Diaz...Jennifer Aniston, Christina Hendricks, Katy Perry, JLo, Brooklyn Decker, Angelina Jolie, etc., etc.?

NOT EVER ON THIS PLANET NOR IN THIS LIFETIME, EVER!!!!! That would NEVER, EVER HAPPEN.


I couldn't even tell if the audience really even liked it. NO ONE BOOED this fiasco. NO ONE DARED TO.


I've also recently heard of a BOUNCE {fabric softener} commercial where a full-size black woman is also "shown" in full buffoonery-style as well, but I don't need to elaborate...you get the picture.


One of my friends told me that she honestly believes it's a foreplay to the 2012 elections, to be honest. An attempt to diminish respect not only for black women, but also for the most POWERFUL black woman in politics at the moment, Michelle Obama.


Do you understand what that really means....to me, it means the following:


We, as BLACK WOMEN, have LOTS OF "CERTAIN PEOPLE and/or GROUPS"...WORRIED, CONCERNED, THEIR ATTENTION, etc., etc.  

They have felt our arrival, our UPRISING...no matter how slow nor small {but growing} as it may be....They KNOW we're HERE!!! Not just here, but VISIBLE and making a DIFFERENCE; in contrast, they are trying to "show us" as they "prefer" us to be seen ... in a negative light.

WE ARE MAKING WAVES. WE'VE GOT THEIR ATTENTION. TIME TO USE IT and USE IT WELL, TO OUR ADVANTAGE!!!!!


Think about it...for them to use such a large-scale platform for our public humiliation and degradation means we are getting ahead and the  "applicable" POWERS-THAT-BE, are attempting to show us...."our place". They are attempting to "slow us down" or "grind us to a halt"; to send us back "into hiding" or self-doubt. 

Their actions are meant to invoke self-hatred and shame, y'all...HURTFUL, nonetheless, but DO NOT let "THEM" stop NOR distract NOR slow you down.

I say.....KUDOS to "US", LADIES, who REFUSED TO be categorized NOR stereotyped in this demeanor. We're showing them AND we're MAKING our presence KNOWN.  We may not have the platform, but what little we DO HAVE {and WILL GET/EARN} is already MAKING WAVES, getting attention, GETTING NOTICED. 

I recognize and appreciate the silver-lining in this disturbing trend; and I use the word "trend" lightly here, because this is nothing new for black women to be the "butt of the joke"; BUT...as of late, it's becoming "approachable" once more to make "us", {black women}, the "donkey" to pin the tail on. 

Let us SHOW THEM....that is NOT ACCEPTABLE. NOT AT ALL, NOT ANYMORE, NOT EVER!!!

HOW do we "show" them? MONEY TALKS...don't endorse their products. We as black women have TREMENDOUS FINANCIAL POWER...we just don't recognize nor use it to our advantage...not enough. Let's make a stand.

Also, through EDUCATION, SUCCESS, just GETTING AHEAD in this WORLD. BEING SUCCESSFUL is the BEST REVENGE.


So, with that...I'M VERY PLEASED....VERY PLEASED that we have made OUR statement SO LOUD, that this is their attempt to "destroy" us. WE'RE DOING IT, LADIES....IT'S WORKING. WE'RE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT AND EFFICIENT, AS WELL. 


Let's keep up the EXCELLENT WORK and show them ALL that we are BLACK, CLASSY, SMART, EDUCATED, DESIRED, SUCCESSFUL, LOVING...AND BEAUTIFUL. 


Let's DO THIS!!!!! I LOVE THIS PROUD, BLACK AND BEAUTIFUL SISTERHOOD.

STEAMY DAYTIME IR COUPLE - John & Evangeline - One Life To Live

This was one of the HOTTEST BW/WM couples on daytime television and on ALL of this soap, ONE LIFE TO LIVE: the sexilicious Lt. John McBain {played by the ultra-gorgeous actor Michael Easton} and attorney Evangeline Williamson {played by the uber-beautiful Renee Goldsberry.} The video below is just a taste of the fiery attraction and undeniable chemistry between these two.

They were a couple on the popular daytime soap from 2003 through 2005; then they powers-that-be {and tons of certain women everywhere who wanted the TOP-RATED JOHN back with his own...lets tell the truth now, lol}...decided that was ENOUGH of this SUPER-HOT coupling of JOVAN {as they were lovingly referred to}, breaking these two apart. 

Both went their separate ways and into other relationships.

Evangeline maintained other IR relationships and was injured because of one, slipping into a coma which also marked her departure from the show. But we all know how soaps work...one second you're presumed dead and/or gone, but then, voila!! You're back from amnesia or being kidnapped, whatever, LOL. In this case, however, its not to be.

Even though tons of viewers BEGGED for John and Evangeline to get back together, the folks at ABC decided to answer those calls....by KILLING OFF Evangeline, THREE YEARS after she'd left the show, ensuring NO chance of reconciliation. They've unceremoniously put an end to that scorching hot love affair. Their loss. There are now PLENTY of other BWWM relationships on the few remaining soaps out there...but "JOVAN" was super-HOT!!

Oh well...it was BEAUTIFUL while it lasted.

DILEMMA: When Physical Attraction and Love Dont Come Together.

A friend of mine {a black and beautiful woman} recently got hit on by a white man, a red head, about 30 y/o while we were out together.

He joined us and was a really nice guy, it seemed: successful {bio-tech}, single, confident, funny, attractive.

He was really into my friend, who thought he was a cool guy...but he's a red head and she cant do it. CAN NOT do it, she said...thats a deal breaker. WHAT?!

She wasn't having it, not even to consider a date. She was not ATTRACTED to him at all. You should have seen them together, laughing carrying a conversation. She didn't mind at all hanging out with him, so I tried to excuse myself, but she wouldn't let me go. She couldn't get past his looks, saying he was "friend material" so it went nowhere. It kinda ticked me off too because she's always complaining that she cant find anyone, yet she blatantly dismissed this one without blinking an eye.


Yes, I know...who knows if it would have gone anywhere...but when you're single and looking, is it not worth a shot at least?

On the other hand...I have a white male friend who just LOST his relationship with his girl because he CHEATED on her--he not physically attracted to her but he "loves" her; so he was with her for love and cheated for physical reasons?!

Naturally, I called him a dog for what he did...but what about my girl friend? Isn't she being fickle as well? She liked everything about this guy, but threw him away because he wasnt Gilles Marini *sigh*...um, yeah. Oh, lets continue.

In my opinion, they've both squandered their opportunities because of what they thought it should look like, not what it actually was. 

Shoot, we'd ALL like to have the whole package...some of us do GET that package. I mean, my gurl didn't cheat like {my male friends'} lousy a*s did; but she cheated herself of an opportunity, I think.

So, am I missing something? Everyone's playing games; its all fun and games until they're 35 and looking back wondering what happened to the last 10 years of their life and why there's no one there to share it with them.
  
In search of perfection, did they...or are we all guilty of choosing physical attraction over love...can one survive without the other?

The last laugh may be on them though...shes still single and so is my male friend.

RETRO GODDESS: Interracial Couples - Diahann Carroll & Vic Damone

This is the outstandingly beautiful and talented actress and singer, the lovely Diahann Carroll.




 

Diahann, born Carol Diahann Johnson, married Vic Damone in 1986 {they divorced in 1996}.

 She was previously romantically linked to the VERY high profile &  EXTREMELY talented actor, Sidney Poitier. 


Diahann made her screen debut in Carmen Jones as  the "left behind" Cindy Lou opposite ANOTHER fine retro goddess of the time, Dorothy Dandridge {who was the lead in Carmen Jones}.

Diahann first married at age twenty, to an agent named Monte Kay, which produced a daughter, Suzanne Kay Bamford, a journalist. Coincidentally, Suzanne is also in an interracial marriage.

Diahann also introduced the first interracial black female and white male relationship to the 1980's hit TV show, Dynasty, as Blake Carrington's half-sister. Dominique Devereaux.



Dominique makes her entrance on this wildly successful series in 1984 as a rival {and a REALLY GOOD ONE} against Alexis Carrington Colby.
 
She once had a past affair with Garret Boydsten {Ken Howard}, a married man, which ended when he refused to leave his wife.



It is only much later, on their wedding day, that its revealed to Dominique that Garrett was NEVER married, he just didn't want to commit to HER back then; however, its futile. Dominique DUMPS Garrett for good.

COUPLE OF THE DAY: Rosario Dawson & Mathieu Schreyer

Todays featured couple is the very beautiful actress Rosario Dawson & her boyfriend, Mathieu Schreyer.

 Rosario was in a previous relationship with actor Jason Lewis {Smith Jerrod on Sex and the City}.

Before that, she was rumored to have dated actor Joshua Jackson {from Dawson's Creek}.

EYE CANDY WISH LIST: Adam Levine

This is Adam Levine, lead singer of the group, Maroon 5.

He's currently linked to a Victoria's Secret goddess, but...we can ogle, cant we?

Here he is, in almost ALL HIS GLORY...YUMMERS!!!

Ladies, look and ENJOY!

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Is being in an interracial relationship "labeling" yourself?

I ran across an odd situation and im not quite sure what to make of it. Its been on my mind a bit today, so...maybe you all can help me out here.

...A black woman, in an interracial relationship, became hostile...i mean, IRATE!!! at the notion that her relationship/marriage was...acknowledged as interracial.

It all came about at a party this past weekend when someone brought up the fact that she prefers to be in an interracial relationship; like hers {referring to this woman}.

Ok, maybe not a good choice of words from this particular young woman that said this...or, whats the big deal, right. that could have been a compliment. But, nonetheless.

This woman immediately took GREAT offense.

At first, I thought she was joking; but, the more we tried to calm her down or find out what her problem was, the more upset she got....then it was ON, for REAL!!!

You get nine women arguing, the men all disappear and i usually take a Tylenol...or use earplugs...but I was intrigued during this ordeal.

She became even more hostile and expressed nothing less than absolute vitriol and disgust for "interracial sites" or sites purely encouraging interracial relationships such as...white men who love black women or dating in black and white, etc..."Ugghh, how INSULTING!!!", she said.

She believes that in doing the latter, we're labeling ourselves...and how do we expect to be treated "normal" if we label ourselves and she ABSOLUTELY HATES that. She said she's tired of being approached about it, talking about it; to her, her marriage is just like any other, she said...same color couples, same sex couples, etc...NO LABELS, just couples. She was ADAMANT about this!!!

She also stated that she married her husband not only because she loves him, but because hes "a fabulous guy."

So, OK. Good for her.

Really, your {particular} marriage is just like every other couple? Of course it is. That's a good conclusion, isn't it? She's in a monogamous, coupled relationship.

She's married, like other married couples and she doesn't want to be seen NOR regarded in any other manner. Whether she liked it or not, she's IN and interracial relationship.

Almost EVERYONE notices an interracial couple...some places and instances more than others, but it happens all the time.

We don't even need to pronounce it...the mere presence of an interracial couple does.

So, WTF was she being so defensive about, then? AND...denouncing others who may wish to celebrate or co-mingle in an interracial status for themselves?

Sorry for my language...but, that was just...WOW! Ive been laughing ever since.

I'm trying, y'all...I just never imagined an {inside} argument against the term interracial; it was like...what is it??? annoyance??? denial??? WHAT could that possibly be about? Am I thinking too much into it, you guys? HELP ME, here.

My question was: Why so much DEEP hatred for the term itself AND/OR what it represents?

You guys didn't see this maniac...she was a LIVE W-I-R-E!!!!!! LMAO!!! Wow!!!

Her husband finally re-appeared and FULLY backed her up {smart on his part; i think she wears the pants in that relationship...LOL.}

But she had become so unbearable to be around that they ended up LEAVING; she cussed us on they way out, too. LOL!

I'm not sure...WHAT to make of her adverse reaction...or her level of hostility. I mean, she became, VERY HOSTILE during this discussion.

Now...I'm not saying we should all throw parades {save that for our weddings since 42%+ of black women NEVER get married} or wear t-shirts or walk around with posters stating we only date or marry white men.

In my own thoughts on what happened with this woman....I think, the statement just hit a nerve with her, I don't know. LOL.

Because, I can't tell if she's just...annoyed at being stared at, noticed or questioned or threatened...maybe judged, or just looking different {or unique}, perhaps; maybe she doesn't WANT to be seen as different, but just as a couple.

Hey, its a nice dream...AND reality for some of us.

That's not asking for too much, is it? Well...IT WAS, for this woman...for this couple.

I suppose she could have handled her dissent with...more class, LOL; but its the level of hostility she had about it that took me by surprise.

Don't worry, y'all...I kept my classy cool...LOL!!!

But....what do you all think? Does she have a point? OR...is she just delusional, or in denial, need counseling? Lol.

We'd all like a perfect world where the {best} choices we made were respected by the masses.

But is that realistic...I don't know her well, and I....don't plan on it in the farthest extended future {lol}...but it does make me wonder.

I know most things exciting need drama to keep going. Thanks to this, I've had my drama...for the MONTH!

NO, thank you!!! LOL. I need a drink!

Allison Blake & Sheriff Jack Carter: EUREKA {TV Series, SyFy Network}

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!  HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!   HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Gonna jumps right back into the swing of things here, because...I'm READY to...lets get this ON! LOL.


SO....tonight, I'm featuring Allison Blake {played by actress Salli Richardson-Whitfield} and Sheriff Jack Carter {played by actor Colin Ferguson} for the hugely successful series on the SyFy network, Eureka.

The story is about having the best minds in the US military tucked away in a remote town where they build futuristic inventions for the governments benefit. 

In the midst of all this is the truly lovable Sheriff Jack Carter. His love interest...the woman of his DREAMS...is the brilliant Allison Blake.





Season after season, from dramas' sake of course, Jack has been loving and desiring Allison from afar. Although she feels the same, we see this mostly from his point of view and its very obvious....Jack has been in love with Allison from the very first time they meet.

Through endless flirtation, relationship after relationship, even a "pregnancy" and numerous experimental events gone awry, its not until this most recent last season that Jack and Allison finally admit their love for another. But...we'll see how long that lasts....as the drama continues.


GORGEOUS IR couple; BRILLIANT for SyFy to place a BLACK actress in the lead for their most successful series. GREAT SHOW!!!
