R.I.P. MCA

Talk about a loss. Not only was Adam Yauch a pioneer in the music industry, he was just a great guy.

He was only 47 years old, too young to be leaving this world. One thing I'm sure of, he probably said his good-bye's, I'm sure he was surrounded by his loved ones as he left and he left a trail, a legacy in his wake.

The world is not better of without a pinnicle peice of the trifecta that is known as The Beastie Boys. But for Yauch I am glad that someone of his class left with dignity. Read more about Yauch here and here

Post Baby Body

What the hell? I just read this article about how long it will be until we see Jessica Simpson and if she will get bashed over still carrying some baby weight. As a woman who just had a baby 3 months ago, I have to I am so glad that I am not a celebrity. I am 3 months postpartum, I have lost all my baby weight plus an additional 15 pounds and I still don't have my pre baby body back, not even close to the pre baby numero uno, let alone the body that's been long forgotten, back when my milkshake used to bring all the boys to the yard.

These celebrities who walk the red carpet and strut their stuff on the runway weeks after giving birth, are not normal. I know its been said before, I'm sure if I could afford a dietitian and a personal trainer, which would mean I also probably had a nanny cuz who's watching the baby while I'm bustin' my ass on the treadmill and doing Pilate's, I too could look hot as well as hot as someone who has just dropped it like it was hot.. And who gets a nanny while they are on maternity leave anyway.

If I know Texas native Jessica Simpson, and I don't really know her, know her, but she is one woman who keeps it real. She has embraced her curves and frankly no matter what she will be beautiful. Because of all the things that go down hill as we age, getting a mommy body is one thing I'm actually proud of. I'd much rather have my tiger stripes and my two awesome boys than a hot beach bod any day. And if I keep working out maybe I'll get to have both, but its definitely not going to happen in six weeks. It'll get back the same way it came. Slowly but surely.
