FINALLY.....my sisters.....PANTYHOSE MADE FOR US!! In our EXACT shade!!!
________________________________
Well it's something that EVERY black woman goes through. The problem of finding PANTYHOSE that look right against the shade of her leg.
How racist is it to enter a store IN THE HOOD, pick up a pantyhose package that says COLOR: NUDE-----only to find that the panythose inside are SHRIMP color PINK--the implication being that all women are "white". Couldn't they just say "See-Through"? Of course, this is the quirkly little RACE STUFF black women go through daily that Black Men never think about when they're whining about how "race" is something that only effects them----"THE BLACK MAN", blah, blah, blah.
FOR BLACK WOMEN....like trying to find foundation makeup to match our facial tones, our pantyhose almost NEVER match the shade of our legs.
THAT IS...UNTIL NOW.
At last, there's a new company that is making pantyhose expressly for BLACK WOMEN...in all our shades and colors!!
CONTACT:
Accents of Color

ACCENTS OF COLOR - PANTYHOSE MADE ESPECIALLY FOR OUR BROWN TONES...FINALLY!
Atlanta, GA - Not too dark. Not too light. Not too grey. Just right. Finally a pantyhose made specifically for our various shades of brown.
When founder, Terri Franklin was completely frustrated with looking for the perfect shade and quality of pantyhose, she decided to launch her own brand of hosiery.
There is no other line that offers the range of browns like that of Accents of Color. The line offers 7 different shades of brown to compliment your various apparel choices. And due to the growth of the Internet, it makes it quite easy and inexpensive for customers to buy the hosiery online.
Terri actually began "Legs of Color" back in 1992, and had big marketing plans for a hosiery line that included a rich range of browns and blacks. The sample colors were perfect, but when she went into production the colors were all wrong. Terri also discovered quality control issues and made the painful decision to dissolve the company.
Ten years passed and the need for brown skin tone colors in hosiery was still pretty apparent. So, Terri decided to re-launch the company. She had gained ten additional years of business experience and also mastered quality control and production issues. She also changed the company name to "Accents of Color" and has also extended her line to twelve hosiery colors with more to come.
Here is what some of Terri's customers had to say:
"I love them. They are perfect for my skin tone. I need to get some more."
"I am tired of wearing black & off black. Brown matches my natural skin tone and I'm happy to get out of black."
"I find the pantyhose very flattering for my legs. The color selection is great."
So, if you are looking for your perfect match, visit Accents of Color at www.accentsofcolor.com

Maybe you ladies should keep boxes of condoms of your own of assorted shapes/size and do a 'mic-check' to make sure the glove matches the hand. |

Mah: I suppose ladies who are--comment se dit?--accomodating of such might agree. I wouldn't know. ;-)
But the mic-check...lol! You guys should just put it on a t-shirt. |

ABM says: Babe. You don't trust everything you read on a TEESHIRT now...do'yah?
Mah: I meant put it [love of..."mic-checks"] on a t-shirt already so y'all can stop gabbing about it! The worthy are duly compensated without having to utter a word. At least that's what I tell 'em over at do-me-baby.com!

You *sure* that wasn't something you overheard someone mumbling in her sleep last night?

Mah: Dunno. You should probably ask She-Who-Talks-In-Her-Sleep about all that.
And now I *know* you were reading someone else's d-m-b profile and not mine, because mine clearly states: "Post-coital cuddling optional." |

Mah: You *sure* that wasn't something you overheard someone mumbling in her sleep last night?
ABM says: Ummm? Could be. Maybe I should pay more attention to what Katie, KeeKee and Kandi mumble in their sleep.
Mah: Dunno. You should probably ask She-Who-Talks-In-Her-Sleep about all that.
ABM says: Okay. But I'll wait til morning. The girls put in a full nights work and need to get their beauty sleep.
Mah: And now I *know* you were reading someone else's d-m-b profile and not mine, because mine clearly states: "Post-coital cuddling optional."
ABM says: You know that you're the only Do-me-baby...uh, 'baby'...I want. And I'm sure glad that "post-coital cuddling" is optional. Because otherwise I'd have to learn what the phrase means. |

ABM: And I'm sure glad that "post-coital cuddling" is optional. Because otherwise I'd have to learn what the phrase means.
Mah: It means, "what some women need to feel like it wasn't just a booty call." Hey, I don't make this stuff up. I just do field research. |

ABM says: Oh. So it's that annoying stuff guys are coerced into doing after-the-fact so that he'll be able to do the coital thing again next weekend. BTW: When doing research, do you take 'copious notes'? |

ABM says: Oh. So it's that annoying stuff guys are coerced into doing after-the-fact so that he'll be able to do the coital thing again next weekend.
Mah: So I've been told. Personally, I have one research subject with whom I have a mutually agreed upon no-cuddling rule. You see, this is my area of study: why some women view the coital thing as a "favor" they're doing for somebody, or worse, "goods and services" to be bartered. Perhaps you can shed some light on this baffling phenomenon, ABM. Triple-K told me you that while you *look* like you're only good for one thing, you are actually rather bright and well-read.
ABM says: BTW: When doing research, do you take 'copious notes'?
Mah: Yes, I carve them into the head board (or his back) for transcribing later. D-M-B motto: Be resourceful!
I am going to name the matching set of luggage under my eyes in the morning after you. I was supposed to be getting my beauty rest in preparation for an intense focus group I'm hosting tomorrow. I've been asked to videotape this one. For research purposes, of course. A girl's work is never done....
Good night! |

ABM says: The sweet irony of that with which women attempt to barter is it both the most treasured yet most abundant prize on earth. Thus thine ever-quandry. I'll let T-K advise you on what I'm best at, though a few busted head boards and box spring mattress might best state the case. My SAT's were also quite impressive. But I hate to brag.
Mah: Yes, I carve them into the head board (or his back) for transcribing later. D-M-B motto: Be resourceful!

ABM says: In individual sentences, the above is rather benign. But when you put it all together, It's quite a clever come-on. "Beauty rest". "Intense focus group". "Videotape". "researach purposes only". "girl's work is never done". RUFF! RUFF! RUFF! RUFF! RUFF!

Mah: Nice summary. You know, I am looking for a research assistant. If you can do some light tapping--I mean, typing!--grunt work, and endure hours with your head buried (in the library stacks), the job is yours.
ABM: I'll let T-K advise you on what I'm best at, though a few busted head boards and box spring mattress might best state the case. My SAT's were also quite impressive. But I hate to brag.

ABM: What happened with your prior RA? You need a brothah like me who can dig DEEPER into your subject matter?
Mah: If you can do some light tapping--I mean, typing!--grunt work, and endure hours with your head buried (in the library stacks), the job is yours.
ABM: I seldom do any “light tapping” eh...”typing”, babe. But if you give me enough to work with, I’ll bang out your material faster than you can dictake…dang ‘puter…dictate it. And don’t fret: I’ll lick my fingers as I turn EVERY page of your publications (over-n-over-n-still-over again).
Mah: I awoke to an email from T-K fairly gushing about how overqualified you are. You need no further references.
ABM: I told you I was duh bomb! (“Bribe and flatter [and lick] some women enough and they’ll say justabout ANYTHANG.”)
Mah: Today's focus group will employ the latest technology.
ABM: Oh. So THAT’s how you keep the crowds…comin’. Well. Be sure to get your equipment serviced (and lubricated) regularly so you keep all your machinery in prime working condition.
Mah: Oh, yeah, I'll need to see your I.D.
ABM: Eh…well. Sure thing. I’ve gottah send for it, though...hehe! (“Dayam! It she’s with the FBI…I’m F@#$ED!”)
Mah: Didn't Ken Chenault start in the mailroom?
ABM: Really? I’d heard that he was discovered while performing as an early Chippendale dancer at a bachelorette party for a top-level White female Amex executive. (“That crazy corporate scuttlebutt...Hehe!”)
MAH: Who knew that when I began this research project I inadvertently become ABM-certified Clever???? Talk about job perks!
ABM: That’s the great thing about science: You never know what may come…up. So big-ups to you. But you ain’t outtah the wood yet, babe. You still have yet to complete your ORAL exams. And, as you’re already ‘profoundly’ aware of, that can indeed be the HARDEST part of all.
MAH: Meow.
ABM: Ahhhhh! Ain’t nothing more thrilling than having a furry kittycat purring and pawing (& licking) in your lap.

Mahogany!!!
I just read about your new gig for the Washington Post and your site LITERARY MAMA being picked by FORBES as a quality place to drop by.
CONGRATS!!!! I'm so happy and excited for you.
I would have posted over there, but I'm not allowed to post on THUMPER'S Board, so when you post over there--I cant' respond. But you go girl!!
And I see you've got ABM all twisted up like a pretzel, too. LOL

Hey, Kola, thanks!
No dis to your board, I wasn't sure where to post my news (and I didn't want to do that annoying multiple posting thing). But thank you so much for giving me a shout out here. I'll consider the Kool Room home in the future. Mwah!
As for ABM, I don't know how you and T-K have handled his clever butt for so long. Hats off to you! He makes a sistah bring her A-game, don't he?

Oh no, Mahogany. Post wherever you want, I just wanted you to know why I wasn't answering on that side is all. And you right, girl, this is your home. We started KOOL ROOM as the place where we let our hair down and talk 'nitty gritty', LOL.
I am enjoying reading this LITERARY MAMA site. They would have loved my poem "Dolpin (during Pregnancy) from my book "Nile River Woman".
Your star is rising, Mahoghany and I get the feeling you deserve it, and probably being black, it's LOOOOONG over due.
LOL.
ABM is too much for the report. But you're such a smooth Cobra, you making his ass cross-eyed, I love it!!!!

He performed admirably if not spectacularly at the focus group today, but you know how it is: sometimes you just need fresh...meat.
ABM: Perhaps thine walls be a bit to steep for all save the most skilled adventurer to surmount. But be encouraged. For I be of strong limb and stout back to scour thine ever cavern and crevice.
And if it be meat you need, then just call me Sam The Butcher.
MAH: Ah. Just as I suspected: you are a pro. See...I'm used to dealing with lightweights like your predecessor.
ABM: Yeah. You need a playah who has the punching power and dexterity to hit it from the left to right then the stamina to REALLY work the middle.
MAH: I just hope I can afford you. Good help does not come cheap. According to T-K, with the amount of tapping--uh, TYPING--I require, I'll run through my grant money in no time if I pay you on an hourly basis. Let's talk salary. And benefits.
ABM: You get whatcha pay for, babe. But if you need a home equity loan to cover the tab (and you probably WILL), I can hook you up with good a mortgage broker. ‘Course, you may have to work out some additional ‘term’s with him.
MAH: That's the RA's job! Didn't you read the job description???
ABM: You mean I’ve gottah “READ”? Dayam! I KNEW there would be a catch to my getting this gig!
MAH: Oh, yes! The Chocolate Chippendales. They are legendary...and on my Christmas card mailing list.
ABM: The feelings mutual. ‘Cause from what I’ve heard, you’re on of their (sugah mama) list too.
MAH: Yeah, T-K told me that was a tough nut to crack, and that even after multiple exams, they *still* haven't passed. But I'm a perfectionist: I'm aiming for an A-plus first time out, no matter how long...the exam lasts.
ABM: Yeah. My nut is tuff…but fair. But don’t worry. ‘Cause if you practice reciting my material again, and again…and AGAIN - over some very long/hard hours - you may (after getting on your knees and prayin’), score a PhD.

Kola, thanks for the encouragement!
And do keep LitMama in mind for future submissions of your work, if you think there's a potential fit. |

ABM: Perhaps thine walls be a bit to steep for all save the most skilled adventurer to surmount. But be encouraged. For I be of strong limb and stout back to scour thine ever cavern and crevice.
MAH: Ah, a typist, a wordsmith, *and* a spelunker. Mmmmm....
ABM: And if it be meat you need, then just call me Sam The Butcher.
MAH/Alice the Maid: You know he was on the DL, don't you?
ABM: Yeah. You need a playah who has the punching power and dexterity to hit it from the left to right then the stamina to REALLY work the middle.
MAH: See? I just couldn't find such talent on Monster.com.
ABM: You get whatcha pay for, babe. But if you need a home equity loan to cover the tab (and you probably WILL), I can hook you up with good a mortgage broker. ‘Course, you may have to work out some additional ‘term’s with him.
MAH: Well, I'm all about efficiency. The three of us should just have one big...meeting.
ABM: You mean I’ve gottah “READ”? Dayam! I KNEW there would be a catch to my getting this gig!
MAH: Well, I don't mind if you struggle a bit and have to move your lips as you read. Or as you do any of the other myriad tasks I will set before you.

MAH: Ah, a typist, a wordsmith, *and* a spelunker. Mmmmm....
ABM: Aw. Tain’t nut’n’, babe. You should see a brothah DANCE.
MAH/Alice the Maid: You know he was on the DL, don't you?
ABM: “Et tu, [Sam]? Et tu?” 
MAH: See? I just couldn't find such talent on Monster.com.
ABM: Yeah you can. Just have to know how to work that lil’ cursor of yours bettah, baby.
MAH: Well, I'm all about efficiency. The three of us should just have one big...meeting.
ABM: Well, in that case, why don’t I invite the appraiser, underwriter, inspector and mail carrier (Don’t ask. I owe him a favor.) and we can all close this deal in an afternoon.
MAH: Well, I don't mind if you struggle a bit and have to move your lips as you read. Or as you do any of the other myriad tasks I will set before you.
ABM: Thanks. I’ll review and redo all the areas you need worked over. But be prepared to dedicate the rest of the semester to consuming the contents of my briefs.

ABM: Aw. Tain’t nut’n’, babe. You should see a brothah DANCE.
MAH: Can you do the horizontal mambo? I was born to do it.
ABM: “Et tu, [Sam]? Et tu?”
MAH: Notice, he never took Alice to his place. He always came to the Brady Compound, or Alice met him at the butcher shop. And I bet she only had his cell phone number.
ABM: Just have to know how to work that lil’ cursor of yours bettah, baby.
MAH: Well, it is quite sensitive. I have to rub that little button just the right way...CLICK!
ABM: Well, in that case, why don’t I invite the appraiser, underwriter, inspector and mail carrier (Don’t ask. I owe him a favor.) and we can all close this deal in an afternoon.
MAH: An afternoon? Surely you jest. That's SIX potential grant-makers I have to...persuade. Perfection cannot be RUSHED. Is this the kind of work ethic you possess? I expected better...
ABM: But be prepared to dedicate the rest of the semester to consuming the contents of my briefs.
MAH: ...<blink>...Okay. I have to break character here for a minute...ROFLMAO

MAH: Can you do the horizontal mambo? I was born to do it.
ABM: Then, Mah-Mah, we may be related. Now, can you limbo? If so, let’s see how low under my ‘stick’ you can go. ("~Jill be nimble, Jill be quick. Jill jumped on the limbo stick...~")
MAH: Notice, he never took Alice to his place. He always came to the Brady Compound, or Alice met him at the butcher shop. And I bet she only had his cell phone number.
ABM: Yeah. He kept things on the QT. But I just figured he was a big ol’ playah (considering all that prime, Grade-A beef he had hangin’ around) and he didn’t want Alice crampin’ his style.
MAH: Well, it is quite sensitive. I have to rub that little button just the right way...CLICK!
ABM: Good. Now if you REALLY wanna maximize your mouse, hit the alternate click button. ‘Cause all kinds of wonderful functions will pop up atchu.
MAH: An afternoon? Surely you jest. That's SIX potential grant-makers I have to...persuade. Perfection cannot be RUSHED. Is this the kind of work ethic you possess? I expected better...
ABM: You misunderstood, Babe. That’s just for you to grease the engine. You’ll have to do A LOT more body-work before you can get to drive the Ferarri.
MAH: ...<blink>...Okay. I have to break character here for a minute...ROFLMAO
ABM: That one (“consuming” “briefs”) was pretty good if I do say so myself. HAHA!
MAH: And the ride...

MAH: "LITTLE Jack Horner, sat in a corner, eating his Christmas pie. He stuck in his thumb and..."

MAH: Hmm...There are some things that even Mah won't do, my "brotha".
ABM: Don’t worry. I figure you maybe a third cousin twice removed on my father’s side. So it should be legal. Nasty...but legal.
MAH: "LITTLE Jack Horner, sat in a corner, eating his Christmas pie. He stuck in his thumb and..."
ABM: “Old Mother Hubbard, went to the cubbard, to get her randy doggy a bone. But when she bent over, the rover took over...and now he’s got a bone of his own.”
MAH: I'm no stranger to hard work. Or getting dirty.
ABM: Good. Now, if you don’t mind getting hot and sweaty and getting some oil squirted on you, you may be allowed to ride.
MAH: That alternate button has been hit a time or ten, and you ain't neva lied about WON-DER-FUL.
ABM: I’m thrilled you’re having such fun tapping your clicker. But be careful, it can be addictive. So to avoid program freezes, you may require more RAM to your motherboard.

Mah: That was the theme of my 18th birthday party! Ah, memories.
ABM: “Old Mother Hubbard, went to the cubbard, to get her randy doggy a bone. But when she bent over, the rover took over...and now he’s got a bone of his own.”
Mah: "Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater, had a wife and couldn't keep her. That's because he was eating the wrong thing..."
ABM: Good. Now, if you don’t mind getting hot and sweaty and getting some oil squirted on you, you may be allowed to ride.
MAH: Vroom.
ABM: So to avoid program freezes, you may require more RAM to your motherboard.
MAH: So how many inches, er, megabytes do you recommend?
