Speaking of Idris . . . Milk and Honey Hi Everyone,
Asha May, together with her mentor Debbie Allen, Idris Elba and Lance Gross has created an excellent TV series Milk + Honey. Idris and the Brown Paper Dolls company (Chicagoans and Howard U, FAMU & Spelman, grads Dana Gills, Asha Kamali May, and Jeanette McDuffie) have been working on this series for over 3 years. The show was created to showcase diverse images of women of color that are rarely seen on the big or small screen, and also to create more opportunities for black actors. Please check it out and forward this email along! | |

Damn, and Bryson from Groove Theory is in this too. And he don't look nowhere near as gay as he did in Beauty Shop. | |

This looks hella interesting!! I can't imagine this'll have any problem being picked up, especially with the clout that Idris and Debbie brings to the project! but we all know how the TV business can be, ESPECIALLY for us African Americans!! If we can get something like "Love & Hip Hop" on TV these days, then Lord knows this should be greenlit IMMEDIATELY! | |

True, but that reality hot mess is still cheaper than a scripted show to produce. That's the problem.
But I loved seeing Debbie in a Lydia Grant-ish role. I was waiting for her to slam that big stick down and say: "You want fame? Well, fame costs. And here's where you start paying . . . in sweat." | |

Are we back to him again?
I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. | |

Let's just assume for all intents and purposes we ain't neva left. | |

I know, right?
You're right about the cost factor. I'd be afraid for it to go to BET just so it could get lost in the sauce, but I suppose that would be better than nothing.
That one chick in there is HELLA foine!!! The one who was told by the dude to only talk to him and he then would relay whatever message to the boss! Hurt me! | |

Yeah, she was thick foine. But you know if this gets picked up they gon make her lose weight. | |

Let's hope not, as long as the real brothas and sistas are still calling the shots on the show! If not, that's when they get all Jennifer Hudson-ified and lose their natural thickness and curves. | |
