How'd they do that?

Oprah's show last night (20/08/2007, Beyonce’s 21st birthday) was “How did they do that?” - and I was shiverring as she showed the snippets of Magicians… As far as I can remember I have always been terrified of the circus… yep, that is my phobia! I can’t even watch it on TV! I just get this overwhelming feeling that makes me feel like I am caged or totally scared! What is this phobia? Anyone know? What is your phobia? 

Spanx and the Founder – Oprah gave the owner of the designer, Sarah Blakely, the idea. Oprah complained on one of her shows in 2000 about always wearing pantyhose that she has to cut the bottom part/heel when wearing pants. Sarah took $5000 and started making pantyhose without the heel part! No one believed in Sarah and today she is 100 Million dollars in profit at 27 years old! She took a year to find a name for her product. 

Spanx designer
Sarah

Sarah tried to be a friend to Oprah gal, pouring out compliments and giving a million dollar donation to the Angel Network… That was hilarious to watch, the compliments part… They just kept coming one after the other – Sarah, Oprah is gonna invite you to her Legends ball this year. Sarah was in Mzansi with Richard Branson but I ain’t seen no Spanx anywhere here! Send me directions, Ladies! Ahem, and Divos!! Aparently they make woman look thinner instantly!! I gotta find me those Spanx, Verimark/Glomail sells the fake ones! 

Crossword creators
Merl & Will

Guys that creates crosswords, Merl Reagle &Will Shortz! Why? Was fascinating how he created them from scratch.. He even created an Oprah crossword puzzle in the O shape – Circle! All the clues had to do with Oprah’s show. One Question had Oprah explaining to us what the "ugly cry" is… Loved that! I cry a lot and I try to avoid the "ugly cry" because your head hurts before the tears come on…

I need a Lexus!! Any donations, gifts, award or a token of appreciation in the form of this car for my Oprah reviews and dedication to watching it that late are welcome. 

Oprah in my dream car
My dream car!

It REVERSE parks itself!!! Literally! You set the parking dimension on the camera, yes there is a camera on the back of the car that you can view inside when reversing… TOUCH SCREEN! So you select whether you are reverse or parallel parking, let go of the steering wheel and release the brake and watch it do it’s thang!! I need that car… That’s all I gotta say! 

I got to tell the truth! 

Jack, the detector dude

Lie detector dude, Jack Trimarco! He looked so stern that I would also tell the truth!  I was almost ready to confess that I am addicted to TVSA and some days do not work at all because I am surfing TVSA! Was too scared to listen to how they do the detection. He looked mean!

Hey lahv, thanx for the recap... I see I got a mention(again), I must be doing sungthing right he he he. Thank you.

Phobia- is the fear of the unknown! They get extremely uncomfortable(anxious) when exposed to certain environments, objects, etc .

People usual have specific phobias e.g

Social-Phobia: this people fear social events, being around people, basically fear anything that will make them interact wth batho at a social level
Claustrophobia: fear of enclosed environments(where escape is perceived difficult) ie Elavators, Malls, etc
Agorophobia: same as above( almost)/ cnfined places
Acrophobia: fear of heights

Can you guys please help me I'm a blonde on this one, I thought people wore pantyhose to show off their legs, why do people wear them with pants.

presha
21 Aug 2007 04:23

@nosi It's winter and the legs(among other things) get cold so ppl wear amagusha under their pants to keep warm. Y u asking this?( strangeQ!) 

KeleFabulous
21 Aug 2007 04:24

nosi because they tighten ur legs/thighs...u know there are those really light tight fitting pants that show off ur cellulite...pantyhose hides cellulite and if ur one of those women who have jelly thighs then it helps there too
