Hanks Oyster Bar: Restaurant Three

Cuisine: Seafood
‎Dining Style‎: Casual Dining
‎Reservations‎: I heard they dont take them but that mightve changed‎
‎Price Quartile‎: $$
‎Parking‎: No Valet‎
Attire‎: Casual
‎Wine Specialty‎: they serve wine?? (try their homemade-seasonal, slow cooked egg nog)

the skinny: im mean what can i say about a joint that i've been to 3 times in one week??

i've developed an insatiable hunger for raw oysters.

no i don't get horny.
no it doesn't make me feel like i'm eating cooter.

Hanks is in the uber trendy area of Dupont Circle (Q St.) but is away from the melee that makes Dupont, Dupont. tucked away in the corner, Hanks hooks you up with $1-$2 oysters on a half shell between the hours of 5:30pm - 6:30pm. if you like oysters you know this price is beyond a bargain, its a fucking steal.

they have other stuff too but...yeah, i eat oysters. calamari/popcorn shrimp basket is a must as well. without being too wordy, Hanks is chic and trendy with carry-out prices. ok, maybe not carryout...chic and trendy with applebee's pricing.

Date Status: Ladies and Gents, i think we've found the most impressive Jump-Off spot. Wanna make her feel "special" without spending that "special" money, take her to Hanks. wanna make him feel like a winner but only spend for the amount of a chicken dinner, take him to Hanks.

*drum roll* ITS A 5 SHAKUR RESTAURANT!!!!!! Seriously yall, i can't get anymore economically friendly without including a dollar menu.

2010 - 1950

you know my Bettie Page obsession...you know this.

actually i love the whole naughty conservatism of the 1950's. its something we don't get a lot of in the new millennium. everyone has pretty much said to hell w/ conservatism, bring on more naughty. I, on the other hand, find the naughtiest ppl are those that are the most conservative (or fully clothed)...(save that for another post).

ANYWHO, it all boils down to me wanting a 1950's inspired swimsuit.

Here are some looks that I found, that I love:

Eye Candy/Mind Fuck: Leann Amos

since everyone uses the term "eye candy" i decided to call them mind fucks (for obvious and not-so-obvious reasons).

i think women are beautiful and, as a non-hating female, i can celebrate a womans beauty and share it with others...plus i need more male followers, so here is some eye can...excuse me, here is the mind fuck of the week: LEANN AMOS

Why she's a mind fuck: she's not only a "model" but she does 'net interviews and has a youtube channel blah blah blah...she's not a total airhead.

Why i like her: she's thick, looks good in or out of clothes, looks adorable with short or long hair...WERK!!!!

the BET awards: BEST

i'm so anti-coonery but i couldn't help myself and watched the BET awards this sunday. like many bloggers, i remember none of the categories but there were a few moments that stuck out in my head...as pure and utter foolishness but i'll save that for the post after the next.

this post is to highlight those few (very few) ladies that did their thang and made it look so effortless and sans foolishness.

thank you Zoe Saldana (in Calvin Klein)

thank you Adrienne of 3lw (designer unknown, LOOOOVED this look)

thank you Beyonce (in Balmain)

thank you Cassie (designer unknown...some guessed Alexander McQueen, i have my doubts)

Thanks ladies for the well put together 'fits and shying away from foolishness and coonery. "KA-DOOZ!!!!"

R.I.P. Farrah

so i just learned (via twitter) that the GREAT Farrah Fawcett died...

i'm beyond sad about this because Farrah paved the way in hair, sex appeal, and lifetime movies for me.

If you don't know about her beyond "charlie's angels," please rent "the burning bed" and "extremities"...both are 2 of my ALL TIME FAVORITE movies.

its so hard to believe she's gone (to a better place)...GOD BLESS!!!!
