I Speak!

Hey yall,
I just wanted to mention that I am officially a motivational speaker. Well, not exactly motivational but close enough. I recently found a site for performers that help them get bookings. I was doing it the hard way. Checking announcement sites or whatever to help me get more gigs. Well, enought with that. Now, people who need me come to me. This is such a relief. Now, I can refocus my efforts back on finding a husband. I am back on the prowl ladies so move over...there's a new Mama in town!

Family Reunion Weekend

Hey there Lads & Gents,
I was stuck in a black suitcase in a closet this past weekend while Mary R. Butler enjoyed a family reunion in Butts County, Georgia. Who is Mary, you ask? Well, she is the one that created my character and is the voice of Mama Peavy. She'll drop in from time to time to offer her words of wisdom or whatever while I take a break.

Anyhow, I got the full scoop on the family reunion even though I was not invited. First, I heard the weather was hotter than a jalapeno~koochie! That means, really hot. Everyone gathered at Billy's house tucked in the woods. No shade was in sight and no one was allowed in the house. Wretched, I say. Glad I didn't go. And this year over 100 more folks attended than last year and I suspect that most were not part of the family. Darn reunion crashers! The festivities began around 3PM but the DJ didn't show until 5PM and the food didn't get served until 7PM. I hear that people were hot about that...so they must have been blazing hot given the 100 degree-plus weather. One positive is that no one fought...thank heavens! Even though I am sure one or two people want to clock the drunk uncle and overly drunk cousin.

Things started to get better once the sun set and bellies got full. The infamous talent show began with Mary and her dauther Danielle doing a rendition of the 90s hit "Push It" by Salt-n-Pepper. The talent show included renditions of Ray Charles' "Night Time," Tina Turner's "Proud Mary," and The Staple Sisters' "I'll take you there." All in all, it was a family reunion to remember. Now, I hope next year, I'll be there in person.

Tell me about your family reunion experiences.

Ugly Celebrity Husbands

Celebrity marriages are a dime a dozen considering that the divorce rate among celebrities far exceeds the national average of about 49%. So, why do some celebrity marriages work while others do not? The answer lies in the type of men that the women choose to date and marry. She notes that of the many failed celebrity marriages, one common attribute is present in the relationship--a handsome "pretty boy" husband. Consider Halle Berry's four year marriage to Eric Benet and the marriage of Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, which also only lasted four years. Perhaps, the prettiest of the pretty boys is Brad Pitt and his notable marriage to Jennifer Anniston which went caput after five endearing years. All of these marriages were held in the highest regard, however, the women did not follow my cardinal rule and that is to marry an ugly man.

In my new book titled "Mama Peavy says, 'Women, It's OK to Marry an Ugly Man,'" I give five hilarious reasons why a woman will greatly benefit from marrying a man that is not nicknamed "pretty boy." I encourage women to have an open mind and to give men that are hard on the eyes a fair chance. I truly believe that women that marry ugly men will have longer more satisfying relationships. If you're a woman and you think this is a hard pill to swallow, then take a look at several celebrity couples that have stood the test of time. Felicity Huffman, actress on Desperate Housewives, has been married to William H. Macy for over 10 years and they are still madly in love. Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman have over 25 years of togetherness. Bernie Mac and his wife, Rhonda McCullough have been going strong for over 30 years. These celebrity husbands may not embody the term "Prince Charming" but they are princes to their wives in every sense of the word.

Introducing Mama Peavy...

Sugars, I tell yall the truth, this here is Mama Peavy but not I am called Pastor Mama Peavy since I started my new church for single women only called The Tabernacle of Sorrow. The mission of the church is to get as many women married off as soon as possible.

If you are married or got a boyfriend, you are not invited.

Check out my homepage at www.mamapeavy.com and let me know what you think.

I'll try to post something everyday.
