Bag Ladies Lend a Real Voice ...

In true Bag Ladies fashion, they delivered the candid, explicit real talk they are known for. Bag Ladies sets the tone for the reality that is a woman's life. Last night's show ran the gamut so as a listener, one could very easily become engaged in everything from the average length of a sexual encounter to all the buzz about Erykah Badu's ass as of late. And as if talk amongst themselves on these subjects wasn't enough, Lady Erin and Madame Myra were joined by two fellow male friends, Rakeem Harris and Octavius Jones, whom they've tagged as "The Male Perspective". They will join Bag Ladies from time to time and offer the male point of view on various topics. In between random comments, jokes and a listening session featuring Trick Daddy's "Pull Over That Ass Too Fat", the good time had by all was obvious and to add to the entertainment, friend Luvvie of Awesomely Luvvie added her 2 cents per "Badu's Badonk Is Bad", a blog post entirely dedicated to her initial reaction and first thoughts upon laying eyes on Erykah's ass! The same post which Lady Erin bragged was one of the funniest post she's ever read. Admittedly by Lady Erin, Bag Ladies digressed for a bit but the digression was so hilarious!

But as the Bag Ladies have been known to do and do well I might add, they switched gears entirely and prior to closing out the show, lent attention to "spring cleaning" but as they said not in the traditional sense. Bag Ladies' featured guest, Leah R. Patterson joined in to discuss cleansing of the mind, body and spirit and why now is the season of change. Last nite's show marked the launch of what will be a month long series on "spring cleaning" during which notions will be dispelled and Lady Erin, Madame Myra and Miz Adams will discuss everything from re-prioritizing one's life to getting rid of junk to doing a warddrobe makeover to renewing one's sex life. A great line-up of featured guests to be announced. And if for no other reason, as Lady Erin said, tune in because "Madame Myra is back and she brought her "Top 10" with her!"

Bag Ladies airs live every week so Tuesday's, set your alarm for 7:30p EST and prepare to kick off those Christian Louboutin's, grab a glass of something good to sip on and enjoy! For more about Bag Ladies and the reality that is you, your life and how you live it, please visit www.bagladiesradio.com. Bag Ladies' previously aired shows including last nite's, De-Clutter Yourself!! Spring Cleaning Series, Part 1, can be accessed OnDemand at www.blogtalkradio.com/bagladies and you can download to your iPod. You never have to miss them!!

Bag Ladies "Look of the Week"

So much to choose from but we couldn't keep our eyes off Rihanna and the look she was sporting at this weekend's 2010 Kids Choice Awards ...you know the awards show where folks get slimed? But you know RiRi wasn't having any part in that modeling on the orange carpet (not red), in a pale pink Christian Dior dress. This is a look you can recreate which we definitely like. We love the defined shoulders which has become RiRi's claim to fame as of late. And paired with nude Brian Atwood pumps, the look works. And further accessorized with sequined, sheer white socks, a belt to cinch that waist (always a plus), and dripping in Neil Lane diamonds, how can you go wrong?

The look is the perfect combo of chic fashion and effortless style ...has a kind of nostalgic feel to it. And loving the clean face with the dramatic eye and soft lip. Our pick for "Look of the Week"

Tune into Bag Ladies Reality Radio every Tuesday at 7:30p for REAL Women ...REAL Talk!

And join us for a "special edition" live broadcast from Soul Parlour featuring Bag Ladies, tomorrow at Eighteenth Street Lounge in Washington, DC.

We Got Ours ...You Got Yours?

The result of the fashion industry having rallied around Haiti, is a nation-wide effort to raise monies for the victims w/ proceeds from the "Fashion For Haiti" tee going to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. The campaign was organized by the The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), which appointed Beyonce as the face of the limited edition tee, and efforts are endorsed by fashion leaders such as Diane von Furstenberg, Tory Burch, Donna Karan, Vera Wang and Oscar de la Renta.

The "Fashion For Haiti" logo was designed by Peter Arnell. Peter Arnell designed another tee per a previous campaign also organized by the CFDA to lend support following 9/11. The black and lime green logo features the tag line "Hope Heal Heal Haiti" underneath a block design of "To Haiti With Love," with a map of the nation standing in for the word "Haiti". The sleeve will be marked with the "Fashion for Haiti" slogan and the inside collar will have "CFDA" printed on it.

The tee is manufactured by Theory and is now available for men and women at retailers nationwide or online at http://www.cfda.com/. We feel much the same as you in that how can we ever do enough for the victims of this tragedy but we can lend support. It's the least we can do and for just 25 bucks. We got ours ...so the question is, you got yours?
