Holiday Gift Buying Guide 2009 — Gifts for Women
The holiday season is just around the corner and it is time to get looking for that perfect gift to give to the people that you love, people that you want to thank, and the people you just want to show a little appreciation to. This is the first in a series of holiday gift giving guides for 2009, and I am bringing you what I think are SOME of the best finds from the pages of Etsy.com.
Today, for your perusing pleasure, I have listed for you 5 different ideas that would be great for that special WOMAN in your life:

Coming from where I’m from
From DC Darling to Lady Lucaze ...
Born and raised in Alexandria, VA, most people thought I was going to follow in the footsteps of all the other Bryant women: strong, independent, educated, opinionated, Greek, OES, and generally revered by elite DC society ... Surprise!!
After I graduated from High School with an advanced diploma, I tried my hand at the DC Darling lifestyle and attended Georgetown University for a year in the Biology Department but found that my family's connections at other Universities such as Hampton, Morehouse and Meharry were getting in the way of prfessors paying attention to the quality of my work. I could have stayed and skated through ... and in retrospect, probably should have ... but that would have been a huge disservice to myself.
No, instead I shed my DC Darling image and fed to the Music City itself, Nashville, TN to attend a notorious HBCU ... Tennessee State University. The reputation wasn't as prestigious and some of my classmates probably very undeserving, but there I found myself ... Lady Lucaze! I stuck with biology only because it was my comfort zone, but in an elective during my junior year, African-American Philosophy with Dr. Hardy, I realized that there was a rathr opinionated Diva lurking beneath the surface and just waiting to come out.
So here I am, from DC Darling to Lady Lucaze, and loving every minute of it!
