Betty...disses???

Why'd You Lie?
A song by Colin James and also the title of this blog

Liars are a next level form of ball-bag. And it doesn’t matter the size or colour of the lie… It could be a blatant lie, i.e. When Bruce Banner turned into the Incredible Hulk he was clearly aubergine.” *wide-eye, blank stare* Obvs, this person is a novice. There are the lies that could almost be truth, such as, “If you watch enough episodes of The Ghost Whisperer, you’ll probably like it.” This type of liar is full of cunning; they almost got me there. I mean, maybe it does get better……AAAAAAAAAH! No, no – abort! Turn the channel!!!

The type of liar that tops all others are the ones you can never catch because they live their lie. They wake up in a lie, drive their cars FULLY lying, get the PowerPoint pres up and running lyingly and then they call you and make you feel totally like they aren’t lying to you…buuuuuuuuut they are. In short – take a look at yourself, you may think your little white lie is helping you through life with ease but you don’t know who you’re hurting along the way by not coming clean. Be imperfectly perfect, kids – you’ll thank me later.

Betty Kisses #2 – Pee-Pee Animation


I have been immortalized in cartoon form and I think it’s the most fitting way possible. I have always considered myself a “Betty” and now this Black Betty will be around FOREVER (a la Squints from “The Sandlot”).

Meet Brogue – my alter ego. She's the baddest chick of them all.

I thank Pee-Pee Animation for making my dream a reality. For your animation, illustration or character design needs - contact Randy Young at http://peepeeanimation.carbonmade.com/

Betty Kisses #1 - Dancing and Motha-effin' Prancing


Dancing & Prancing is a phenomenon that every woman should be aware of. When the weather is just fine but you are feeling low, low, low – dancing & prancing is what you need to remember. The act of dancing & prancing is not reliant on literally dancing – it’s based on your frame of mind. You feel fluid, you feel like the music you’re listening to on your way to work is guiding your feet in every direction. You’re floaty, you’re flighty…you’re dancing, and dare I say, prancing.

Whether you are blessed with the Solid Gold rhythm of Darcel or cursed with the one-arm pumped bottom lip overbite as your “signature move” – it doesn’t matter at all! If you’re at all like me, music can completely turn your opportunity YES. You wake up on the wrong side of the bed, you’re late, there’s no hot water and you just stubbed your toe on the coffee table trying to unplug your BlackBerry from the umbilical-type cord that has wound itself oh-so-tightly. You take a deep breath, remember your house keys are still on the hook before your automatically-locking door shuts completely; grab them and head outside just as you hit “play” on your MP3 player (iPod’s though – let’s be serious!). A crescendo of sirens fill your headphones as a diva’s voice rips into your frontal lobe pleading that an alarm be rung because she’s been in this here situation WAY too long. Your stride toward that bus stop takes on a jauntier vibe – the sun is shining a lil brighter. You notice men waving from their work trucks but you pretend you don’t notice because you have transmorphed into Lady; a lady who does lady things like ignore brutish attention from the blue-collars while secretly soaking up every last shred of it!!!!!!!!!

My Betties – the next time you feel down, the next time you feel like things just aren’t going your way; the next time you aren’t feeling as attractive as this world knows you are… Put on a pair of heels, throw your shoulders back and crank that biznitch anthem because the sidewalk IS your catwalk! You better WORK!

I Am Rockstar, You Can Too!




Steps to living life as a successful rockstar:


  1. Let your rock juice set in - showers are over-rated anyway.

  2. Even if you don't play the guitar - look like you can. (refer to photo above)

  3. Never look away first - ever.

  4. If you've seen it on someone else - it's already out of style.

  5. You totally understand and appreciate where all the music of today comes from and then you turn your nose up at it in true music-snob fashion.

  6. You will never own a Range Rover - a '56 Ford Fairlane... Now we're talkin'.

  7. You don't need a list to tell you how to live like a rockstar.
