QueenLatifah_bottle
Queen by Queen Latifah is a fragrance I received a small sample bottle. It was decanted (poured from a larger bottle) so at first I didn’t realize what it was. A quick spritz had me sold!

The bright touch of citrus scents with something more serious lurking underneath pull me through the colder months. That is what Queen is about. The fragrance is described as having:,

Top Notes: Golden Tequila accord, Italian Bergamot, Mediterranean Mandarin.

Mid notes: Baie Rose, Jasmine Noir, Cognac, Moroccan Coriander.

Base Notes: Indonesian Patchouli, Sandalwood, Vanilla Absolute, Tonka Absolute, Egyptian Incense, Musk.

This is a debut release for 2009. $60 USD retail value

McDonalds moves from Feng Shui Luck to Lofty Ideas

It has barely been a year since McDonald’s began retrofitting and/or building a new look for their locations. Based on Feng Shui, the new interior design looks consisted of muted tones, wood and metal, paintings and certain “lucky” numbers of booths to retain customers. It worked, and McDonalds saw a positive spike in sales and customer sit-ins. California was the targeted state for most of these changes, but the plan went nationwide. With positive reports the designs are working, the number one fast food joint in the world is now shifting gears slightly and going IKEA.

The first location to experience the renovation is in New York City. Diners there reportedly experience a ‘lounge’ feeling, and are welcomed with Danish furniture, free wi-fi and sleek, modern surroundings. While the chain is responding to the way people use restaurants differently now, it sounds like it is yet another angle to give Starbucks a run for the money.

Would you prefer to work in a coffee house or comfy atmosphere McD’s?

Baby’s Got Back – Rear End Enhancements

crownfoundations_fannyliftbrief Wendy, 30, fills out her Apple Bottom jeans quite nicely, but not of her own device. “I use butt pads. Two of them!” she said giddily, as we all gaped at her backside. There were two big & beautiful cheeks, but how could this be? She’s African-American, a heritage that is usually blessed in that department. Wendy insists she’s flat as a board without help. Ok, so she looks good with her clothes on, but does it interfere with the dating?

Sol: What happens when someone realizes your lovely lady lumps are not your own? Have you ever had any surprises?
W: I just tell him, “You want me to look good, don’t you?”

Wendy sources her build-a-butts from JC Penny and swears by them. Foam inserts sewn into a girdle, she claims they fill her out as promised, are very comfortable to wear and are easy to clean. She actually took orders for two and returned with the goods. Here is a before & after shot of one of the girls modeling:
