The Cutest Dolls

International Black Doll and Gift Show

When a person thinks of a black doll most folks think of the cabbage patch or black barbie. Exactly my original thoughts before I became less ignorant of the art world years ago. There are artists...fiber artists who create dolls as works of art, actually black dolls. These artists like Daisy Carr, Pamela Ekkens, Carole Brothers, Joyce Stroman, and Barbara McCain are just a few of the many fiber artists/craft doll creators out there. Their work is unmatched and depicts images of realistic individuals you see often. My favorite are Daisy Carr, Joyce Stroman, and Carole Brothers. I love the colors used, and mostly the hairstyles these gorgeous dolls rock. These dolls have such a confident presence about them. Sassy and vibrant, the dolls grabbed my attention enough to encourage me to plan to attend next years New York Black Doll and Art Show and International Black Doll and Gift Show.

Indian Cusine At Home

Okay I am definitely crushing on Indian Cuisine right now. Well its sort of been my favorite for a good minute now but the point is you can create your own tasty Indian meals without getting too complicated, at home. I came across this Indian Meal kit by Gourmantra at a local grocery store over the summer and was a bit skeptical when I opened the box and read the directions before preparation. I admit I thought I would screw things up. I simply followed the directions, well I deviated a little bit by adding my own cooked and seasoned chicken. It was so damn good. It's my favorite and exactly what I go to whenever I have a taste for Indian food. The Giant supermarket chain carries it in their ethnic food aisle. Happy eating!
