Please consider supporting Haitianista on www.peerbackers.com

Dear Friend:

As you all know I have been working diligently on creating an online business to sell Haitian art, accessories, jewelry, etc...  I am still in the building aspect of it and am still raising funds in support of the business.  To that end, I am trying this new trend of "crowdfunding".  It allows me to raise funds for a specific aspect of the business and most of all to make people aware of the business.  I am raising funds to finalize the website.

I am asking you to help me by "backing" me on my project.  There are several levels to support, as little as $15.00 to $65.00, and there are wonderful rewards in return.  The caveat of course is that I have to raise the funds within 45 days.  So the clock is ticking....  Please, please support and/or forward this to all your friends and colleagues.

It's very easy:
1) Just go to www.peerbackers.com
2) Search Haitianista
3) Back Haitianista at whatever level you are comfortable with
4) Forward this info to your friends and colleagues.

PS: It wouldn't hurt if you "liked" Haitianista on Facebook as well.

Are you always on?

What do you do to ‘keep it tight, keep it right’ as the fully made up, designer clad basketball wives say?
The other day I was listening to a morning talk show and one of the radio hosts said how happy she was that her boyfriend was away for three days because she was able to comfortably sleep in sweat pants, granny panties and a dumpy T-shirt. Her colleague commented on the three year relationship. She responded saying how much work it was to be in a matching thong set every night, looking cute with every hair in place. She laughed.
I frowned. When is her boyfriend going to meet her?
I attended a party recently and a guest complimented my asymmetrical haircut. I thanked her shrugging and sighing with twisted facial expressions.
“What’s the problem?’
“The neediness of the style,” I said. “My hair needed a healthy change, however, I don’t do well with needy. Thank goodness my child was not the leg clinger type.
“Is your husband home every night?”
“No, he travels a lot.”
