How We Prepare ...Hurricane Irene!!!

As if we haven't already felt enough of Mother Nature's wrath with the 5.9 earthquake this past Tuesday. And to all of our West Coast listeners, followers and fans, I know you are still giggling and pointing the finger but for those of us who have never experienced an earthquake, it was MAJOR! It took down a yogurt cup for goodness sake! I mean, we are in Washington, DC ...we don't get earthquakes around here. At least we can brag now that we are, "earthquake survivors." But as if that wasn't a significant enough event, there's now the looming threat of Hurricane Irene, making landfall this weekend! I mean really, is Mother Nature that mad at us for not recycling, for just spitting our gum out wherever instead of disposing of it properly ...I mean what's the deal? So needless to say, folks are posting and tweeting "Hurricane Preparedness Lists", every second. And while we understand the importance, we are tweaking things just a bit to ensure we got all that we need. And so we've added just a few more items:

Prepare a script of what to say when you call in Monday morning to your Boss to let him/her know you won't be in. (Be sure to input words that will further convince and justify your needing to take off. Be sure to have a comeback when your Boss says, "the sun has been shining all weekend.")

To heck with those candles from the colonial days. Visit Bath and Body Works and take advantage of the 3 for $5 deal. Stock up! Not only will you set the mood and create a nice aesthetic but you will also have a great aroma which will likely be very necessary. If you are burning candles, your electricity is likely shot and the scent of spoiling food and sewage filled toilets, is not pleasant.

Alcohol, Alcohol, Alcohol ...we can't say it enough. We don't want to suggest any particular brand or drink recipe. Just get A LOT ...of alcohol and be prepared to sip good if things get bad. If you drink enough, you will care less about high gusting winds and your house toppling down all around you.

Sex Toys – You should already have a plethora of these anyway so shouldn’t require you making a mad dash to your local sex store. If you don’t have a collection, that’s another issue. Some may be thinking this only applies to single ladies but NOOOOOOO ...If you are living "Tales of Singledom", and riding Hurricane Irene out by yourself, than ok. But for those of you “bunned up” with your hubby or your boyfriend or whatever, you still might require stimulation too. Cause while you are all good, your man might be crouching down in the corner, screeching at every gust of wind. Men don’t take natural disasters well. So ladies you just might have to please yourself. Be prepared. (We know that you know what sex toys look like so no pictures included)

A Man - He's really needed moreso pre-hurricane. Have him move all your outdoor furniture inside. Have him go gas up the car. Bring in the bottles of alcohol. After that, he can scat!

Batteries - You will need them to ensure those sex toys keep a running.

Food - Just have an abundance of chocolate and treats and sweets. That's really all we crave as women when things are awry.

Games - Board games that is! If you have a family, you will already be gathered together in your candle lit basement. Why not pull out those games that have been sitting on your shelf collecting dust since Wii burst onto the scene. And keep in mind that you will surely be "winning" cause kids nowadays don't know nothing bout Monopoly, Checkers, Candy Land and Hungry, Hungry Hippo. They are too dang computer literate!

Let us not forget the adult games. We know you remember those college games when you were sitting in your dorm bored and broke. You will already have your favorite drink handy (check previous tip), so why not play Quarters, good ole truth or dare, ummmm can you say Spin the bottle!

Water ...well who needs it. If you got alcohol by your side, to heck with water ...and a man.

FAVE TWEETS - BASKETBALL WIVES SEASON 3 FINALE

Last night was the finale of VH1's Basketball Wives, thus our finale post of our fave tweets. Although I guess not official because next Monday’s Basketball Wives reunion will surely consume our Twitter timeline with all kinds of hilarious commentary. So we will be forced to do another fave tweets post ...so we ain't done just yet. We and you, our followers likely ain’t seen nothing yet! So as anxiously as we are anticipating next week’s reunion, please enjoy our favorite tweets from the finale episode of the guilty, raunchy but always entertaining pleasure, that is VH1’s Basketball Wives. And don’t act like you haven’t already marked your calendar for the premiere of Basketball Wives LA. Lawd knows, Basketball Wives Miami is a hard act to follow. Them LA gals better bring it ...the ridiculous, dramatic, exaggerated behavior we mean. Will Shaunie be present in each episode to further instigate you think? Without her constant instigating, the drama wouldn’t exist. Enjoy! And be sure to connect with our featured followers.

Ok really, wld Shaunie's endorsement of a shoe or "name on it", really make a diff as 2 whether u wld buy it? I'd b more inclined not to ...#BasketballWives

Eric would surely have another unicorn knot after that antic. He would not have walked away, he would've been led away. #BasketballWives

@luvvieig: The fact that Gal Reynolds is MCing Jennifer's Divorce party is just... #BBW

So Jen transitioned to a video ho? #BasketBallWives ...she's moving on up!

@lovecrissle: if i was engaged to a pro athlete i'd be doing a lot less questioning and a lot more shopping anydamnway.

@nicheatl: And black women are suppose to be the only crazy ones!?!?! Evelyn is proving that assumption wrong!!!! #bbw #basketballwives

@talkingwithtami: OOH chile my granny told me to rub real lemons on my black knees and elbows! Chad needs that same remedy on those soup coolers! Pow!

@sawngbyrd28: Eric looks like at any moment he'll jump up on the table beat his chest and screeeeeech like a gorilla!

Chad is done if Ev knows what's best. Can we say red flag?! #BasketBallWives

@AuNaturaleDC: That big tooth bastard...I swear I would beat his ass wit my shoe...give him a matching knot to the head! MOFO TAKE UR NAME!!! Ooh lawd!!!

@vinabean: After being married to that creature from Mordor for all them years, Jenn deserves to tongue it out with any man she wants. She earned that.

@brokeymcpoverty: eric talkin about somebody not knowing themselves. your top & bottom lips don't know each other. introduce

Why is Jen allowing Suzi to plan anything especially her divorce shin-dig?! Jen is just real naive or just plain DUMB! #BasketBallWives

FUNNIEST TWEETS FROM #BBALLWIVES, SEASON 3 EP: 9


We developed a fast habit of sharing some of the funniest tweets per each episode of #RHOA while still in season. Well presently, we are on hiatus which basically translates to we are on vacation, footloose and fancy free on the beach or maybe just in our dreams ;-), leave us alone and we’ll let you know when we return to air!! On the real, we don’t mind the inquiries regarding wassup with us rather we thank you for your interest and are glad that you miss us. We miss you too!! We have exciting things to come.

Efforts to gear up for a new season of Bag Ladies Reality Radio continue and although there isn’t much visible activity to you (our listeners, followers and fans), we are GRINDING ...still. And one of our guilty pleasures is the comedy, the drama, the entertainment, the wackiness that is VH1's #BasketballWives. We know you are guilty too!!!! It ain't just us! Our Twitter timeline, @bagladies is overwhelmed with HILARIOUS commentary Monday nights from 8 – 9p EST, which typically has us ROTF, CTHU and LLS. And per one of our fave fans, @DivaStateMind: Trying to catch up on @bagladies tweets b/c they are always hilarious on Monday nights from 8-10pm!!! Lol #VH1

We just had to share some of the funniest tweets from last nite’s #BasketballWives (Season 3, Episode 9). Enjoy!

- I would not be surprised if I don't have nightmares about Tami's hairline. It's just that da*n scary! #BBallWives ...I'm gonna look away

- Tami's hair, can't take it. Not only did she get a shape-up but it's not even a good one!!!! Who advised her to do that?!!! #BBallWives

- Please tell me in what way is Jen's date, hot? Cause Al Reynolds described him as a "hot lil thang?" #BBallWives

- Jen talking about she doesn't do that, doesn't do dutch. She doesn't even date so what does she know about it? #BBallWives

- He knows better. Tami will knock that unicorn knot off his head LOL RT @lilduval: I bet Eric won't throw a drink on tami tho

- When ur PDA, grosses ur own daughter out, I think that's a prob Ev. #BBallWives

- Career?! What career Royce? What do you do?! #BBallWives

- Will some1 plz tell Eric not 2 wear his caps cocked 2 the side. It draws attention 2 his unicorn forehead. #BBallWives

- "A hot little thing" ...and that's probably exactly how Al Reynolds described him to you Jen. LLS #BBallWives

- Jen talks about technology like it's a foreign concept. Was she locked inside that condo she shared w/ Eric for their entire relationship?

- I think Royce and Eric are related actually. Royce clearly has something growing out of her forehead too. #BBallWives

- Chad is annoying and immature. I do like his pants though.#BBallWives

- Tami's hairline made an abrupt change on 2nite's episode. Still don't understand WTH happened. #BBallWives
