Two very talented chicks teamed up for a video spoof of The Baby Mama’s Club The Tiny & Toya show. I really appreciate y’all sending me this cause it really made my day. The girls are spot on in their speech as they attempt to? “tawk” like our two favorite reality show castmates, Tameka ‘Tiny” Cottle and Antonia ‘Toya” Carter.
When we first saw the ads for BET”s” Tiny and Toya” we thought what you probably thought : “What kind of hot ghetto mess is this going to be”? It turns out that the show cast the women in a positive light. They come off as genuinely sweet and and trying to be the best and do the best for themselves and their families. That being said-there were some things we couldn’t help poking fun at. We hope you enjoy and hope they have a sense of humor!

Two of my favorite people were on television the other night and I totally missed them! Monica AND Celebrity Photographer Derek Blanks hit the stage on the Mo”Nique show earlier this week and it was like a family affair. Mo Nique invited Monica’s mom onstage for a mini interview and Monica’s boo Rocko even came out.? During Derek’s interview he seemed a bit uncomfortable. He’s so accustomed to being behind the camera that I’m sure it was a bit unnerving, but Mo quickly helped ease his nerves. That’s why I love them both so much!? Support is key!
The show concluded with Monica performing “Still Standing.” It was such a great show! I just wish I had been in the audience that day. And speaking of “Still Standing,”? if you missed Episode 2 of Monica’s BET reality show, you can watch it below: Continue Reading…
