Versailles: The Life and Times of Queen Khira

  Those just might be my 2 favorite C words known to man!  With the start of a new year, it's only right I acquire a little bit of both!  I've had my eyes peeled for the past few weeks for all of the best sales; I had my heart set on a new piece of Rainbow Tourmaline and Rose Quartz(see below for crystal properties and uses if you aren't familiar!).  At the same time, I have also been dreaming of some new bags; crossbodys and a satchel, to be specific; a little on the fancy side though.  All of my work was not in vain because guess what?!  Marshall's is now carrying Badgley Mischka handbags and wallets-mike drop...but it gets even BETTER-not one item is priced over $29.99!!  Wait, What?!  Yes Please!!  Amazon has 1 lb of Raw Rainbow Tourmaline AND Rose Quartz for under $15.00.  I also came across a National Geographic Rock Polisher for $39.99!!  Your girl is absolutely THRILLED!!  What crystals do you have your eye on?!  H...

Growing up, I never realized just how MANY lessons I was actually given on becoming Queen.  I was being groomed the entire time without ever knowing it.  One of the earliest lessons I can remember was being taught the "politics" on running an empire, satisfying the masses when everyone wants something different.  The way this lesson was taught to me was through the use of Neapolitan Ice Cream... At the Ponderosa, we LOVE our birthdays, and it is absolutely necessary that the occasion be marked with a family celebration.  Regardless of whatever plans you THINK you may have, it is a guarantee of a birthday cake fresh from the Italian bakery, Ice Cream, and Dinner.  I must have been about six years old, and the Mainor birthday season was in full swing, so that puts us at the middle to end of March, 1990.  Nana and I were in the kitchen, I was keeping her company as she put the finishing touches on one of her culinary delights.  The festivities were p...

AKA: Heaven.  Oh how my dreams are filled with such a Utopia!  Ah, the pure pleasure to be gained by being able to peruse social media without the slightest intimation of stupidity... You know, the older I get, the less tolerant I am to fuckery.  I don't like  being told what is DOPE ; that decision is entirely up to ME.  How are you possibly able to make that determination on my behalf?  Moreover, your vision has been obscured, by either the money to be made, or the attention to be gained.  Countless individuals have thrown both quality and overall dopeness straight out the window, and have packaged and branded their own fresh serving of filth.  well I refuse to participate in the sheeplike consumption of the masses... Give me something to be EXCITED about!!  Put something out that touches my SOUL.  what happened to the Beautiful and Profound?  Is art now DEAD?  It has been quite a while since i have been tr...

From the start, I have been lowkey enamored with the concept of Youtube.  Its absolutely fantastic to have a FREE platform accessible from any corner of the world to display your own brand of creativity.  The audience being able to connect directly to the creator and express their thoughts is nothing short of genius.  I have watched, over the years, many channels grow, expand, and eventually leave the platform to pursue life goals; All made possible from the comfort of their own homes.  I would like to think as a loyal subscriber, that I was an intricate part of the process.  With that being said, I have a few things to say about what I want to see from YouTubers in 2019 and beyond... First, I LOVE the idea of audience participation, and asking for our opinions.  HOWEVER, if I am forced to watch 1 more video where "adoring" fans make a fool out of you, I think i just may give up on YOU all together.  Don't you get enough of being played by ...
