What Bag Ladies brought you on Tuesday ...post-show recap.

Well, we had some technical difficulties but it takes much more than that to throw Bag Ladies off their game! We endured and thank you to those of you who hung on and endured w/ us as well cause if you did, you certainly were privy to a great show! It was difficult at the start to be experiencing the technical difficulties that we were b/c we were so EXCITED about the show. But although we were delayed about 10 minutes, we trust Blog Talk Radio was able to resolve the issues and we won’t have to worry about those difficulties moving forward. I, Lady Erin complimented listeners w/ my voice for a lot longer than I expected as a result. But like I said, we still did our thang!

As usual Madame Myra was hosting along w/ me but we were also joined not only by our featured guest, Nneka Hurley of NnekaSaranHandbags mentioned as per our previous blog post but also a guest host, JaTawny Muckelvene of JaTawny Vision Photography, http://www.jatawnyvision.com/ who is a locally based awesome Photog, Wife and Mommy of 2 which this Bag Lady can certainly relate to. JaTawny has photographed my fam previously and her work is absolutely amazing. So we had a great time kicking it and hopefully you had equally as good a time tuning in. And of course if you were unable to do so, we are now offering you the BTR playa right from our blog page so it’s up to you. Visit our show page at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/bagladies and scroll down to OnDemand to check out current and past episodes which you missed or hit our blog and not only check out wassup w/ Bag Ladies but the latest episode. Yup, we are making every effort to give it to you as best we can and are always looking to offer more in addition to tweeting it up, facebook’ing and blogging …

Of course we did our What’s Poppin w/ the Paparazzi and some celeb tidbits we will continue to follow is Mariah and Nick may be expecting, Toni Braxton’s efforts to drop a new album and Monica’s supposed reality show. But we also featured my usual fave, Madame Myra’s Top 10 which if for no other reason, check out yesterday’s episode just for her. Additionally, starting today, we are bringing you a new segment called, What’s Sippin! We have mentioned that the concept of Bag Ladies mimics when you link up w/ your girls, kick your shoes off and just gossip and gab about everything under the sun and if you are like us, you don’t typically do so w/out a drink in hand so we thought a great addition to the show would be to profile various wines, liqueurs or other varieties that might be of interest. We were contacted by a few distributors and have been reaching out and started developing relationships. But it’s a segment that we are really excited to bring you and possibly even expand so please be on the lookout for more of that. This week’s show, we featured a black-owned Rum, Castries Crème, http://www.castriescream.com/, which is defined as a Peanut Rum that blends premium roasted peanuts w/ award winning St. Lucian Rum. Sounded good to us and we would hope that it sounds good to you! Both Madame Myra and myself had a chance to sip it or drink rather cause we definitely did more damage than just a sip and we both found it to be very pleasurable and it’s certainly something I would order when out. As I mentioned during the show, it has the consistency and texture of Bailey’s or Kahlua but smoother. I simply poured it over ice and drank it straight but it can be utilized several different ways to compliment various drinks so please check it out and there are numerous recipes on the site. I can’t wait to ask for it the next time out …perhaps on Saturday. It is very widely distributed …

And lastly, we had a chance to chat it up w/ Nneka Hurley of NnekaSaranHandbags, http://www.nnekahurley.com/shop/bio.php regarding her upcoming ’09 spring/summer collection which she will be debuting this coming Saturday, April 18th at Lux Lounge in Washington, DC. We discussed how she got her start, celebrities who have carried her designs, her current collection, her faith and how she manages basically doing it on her own while maintaining a full-time job, plans for the future and more. Nneka is great and it was such a pleasure having her join us! This Saturday’s upcoming event which Bag Ladies is very much looking forward to, follows:

Details regarding Nneka’s event:
Debut of NnekaSaranHandbags ’09 spring/summer collection

Tuesday recap ...

Bag Ladies wants to get into the habit of posting a recap of the show so not only can you pull up and listen to past episodes from our show page at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/bagladies but you can also check us out here for all the juicy details. We like to think of it as closure which we all desire.

Our last day in March, Tuesday the 31st edition was damn good as we not only premiered our first commercial but we also extended our listeners an awesome special offer!! Read on ...We kicked the show off by talking about weekend activities which included the debut of our Saturday Night Live special edition. Bag Ladies broadcast live from OFF the WALL at Studio 10. We will soon be posting pics from that event. Miz Adams got down at a local bar although she tried to convince us that it was all about biz.

What's Poppin w/ the Paparazzi tidbits:

Kelly Rowland dropped from label; distraught and on suicide watch
Oprah's school in S.Africa rocked by another sexual misconduct scandal
Madonna tryna adopt another lil one of us
Kim Kardashian claims cellulite

Topic of convo, readying the "area down there" and the various methods women use and what lengths we go, to remove hair. We are fastly approaching the summer season so we thought it timely to bring attention to this subject as we women begin prepping to "really" show off.

Madame Myra knocked it out of the park w/ her Top 10 and ran down the lengths women used to go to back in AD and BC times to remove hair which included burning it off, using arsenic and more!! But also, there was a period when more hair was sexy and pubic toupees were worn!! If for no other reason, check out the show so you can hear Madame Myra do her thang.

Bag Ladies discussed methods of hair removal from the most effective to the least effective w/ our featured guest, Mrs. Danielle Gibbs, educator at Aveda Institute of DC and owner of Elevar Mobile Spa. She left us w/ her Top Do's and Don'ts to make waxing relaxing be it a bikini or brazilian:

• Do let your hair grow to about ¼ an inch before any wax service. This will allow the wax to adhere to the hair successfully for successful hair removal.
• Do screen your wax professional. Ask questions about their experience, inspect the cleanliness of the spa and spa room. Look for a trained esthetician.
• Don’t patronize anyone that double dips (uses the same wax stick during the entire service). This is not sanitary, and can cause bacteria in the wax resulting in cross contamination… NASTY!!!
• Don’t steam, sauna, or take hot showers after waxing.
• Do anticipate some soreness if it’s your first wax. However with continued treatments, it will become less distressing.

Danielle is a licensed esthetician and her company, Elevar not only offers a variety of mobile services but spa parties as well. And for the month of April, you will receive a 20% discount on selected services!! All you need do is mention Bag Ladies when scheduling.
To schedule a private appointment and to have services rendered in a private, comfortable atmosphere, contact: 240.417.0802 or justfaceitdani@gmail.com.

Let us know wassup but more importantly, tune in cause when you miss us, you miss out ...
