Who is Micaela Shaefer?

I had no clue who Micaela Shaefer is, so I googled only to find out she is a German model.  Still nothing.  But her pics are all over today because she went to Men in Black 3 premiere in Berlin wearing THIS.  Was this something to do instead of converting the tapes to digital?  Eh, I guess more people who don’t know her may end up knowing her name, especially guys.

Seriously, WTF?  I’d be tempted to flick my cigarette on that mess to see if it melted on her.

WTF – Whitney and Stevie

 

WTF # 1 – Some kid off the street tries to take money from Stevie Wonder, claiming Stevie did the do with his sister and HE was the child from that union.  Really?   REALLY?   Then he buckled from asking for 5 million to 10,000.  WTF kind of crackhead are you?  Undercover cops promised him the money if he signed a paper stating it was false, and he did.  Then he was arrested.  Serious.  Crackhead.   Move.  Did you think he wouldn’t call the cops?

WTF # 2 – A reality show about the healing of Whitney Houston’s family.  Featuring the sister-in-law, the brother and the daughter Bobby Christina.  With appearances by Mama Cissy and Aunt Dionne.  WHY???  OK, I’m not going to bitch out the daughter, but the brother and his wife?  Because I know this is all her/their doing.  You haven’t had enough time on the talk-show circuits?  This child, and she IS a child, hasn’t gone through enough hell that you want to put MORE of her life out there on tv?   Besides that, ain’t nobody interested in your asses.  Cissy and Dionne will have a following, but the other three?   Do like everyone else who loses a loved one does.  Cry, suck it up  and move the hell on.  Hell, even the Finding Bobby Brown show didn’t last more than one season, and that was because Whitney wasn’t into doing the whole 2nd season.  Yall don’t have Whitney, WTF would anyone want to watch her brother and sister-in-law???    Nobody knows or cares about you.  Period.

Rant of the Day – Breastfeeding

Normally when you have a baby, the hospital gives you some swag (and some might find their way into your bags on their own).  Diapers, pacifiers, FORMULA, bottles, blankets, etc.  Some hospitals in New York City are choosing to release new mothers from the hospital without the formula.  Forcing them to breastfeed.

What the hell?

I’ve known plenty of women who knew going in they weren’t going to breastfeed.  I’m one of the mothers who did it for two or so months.  Why only two?  I loved the bonding, but I’m selfish. I wanted to drink.  I wanted to smoke.  However, it hurts.  It cracks your nipples.  You leak.  You flood.  They sag.  Some women try and don’t get the mushy bondy feeling.

Ever have one of those nights at 2 a.m., when that baby just won’t stop crying?  You feed, change, play, feed, change play, bathe, feed, change, play.. and three hours later, they’re still screaming at the top of their lungs.  Yes, I’ve been there.  And, if I had no other choice but to keep shoving a nipple in his mouth, I would’ve been crying even harder than I was.

Yes, there are many good reasons to do so.  But, it’s up to the WOMAN whether or not she wants to.  If she doesn’t, there’s nothing wrong with it.

So, if you want the formula, you will have to ask for it.  I’m sorry, but this sucks.  To me, to breastfeed or not to breastfeed is an argument that’s just as bad as stay-at-home moms saying they’re better than working moms.  Yes, there are loads of good reasons to breastfeed.  But, it is a woman’s choice!  Stop trying to take our choices away from us.

You’d better believe I would ask.  I may want to supplement.  I may want to party one night.
