Roman Holiday
 

colosseum.jpgAfter nearly a year (Stereohyped turns 1 on April 23rd!) of non-stop blogging, Mama needs a vacay. Which is why I'm jetting off to Rome for five days with my dear sisters and leaving you in the capable hands of Cord Jefferson.

Although I'm years away from having babies, I feel like I sort of know how mothers feel when they leave their newborn with a baby-sitter for the first time. Cord, don't be mad at me if I send random emails from internet cafes asking if you're having any trouble with Rewound or Minority Report. I'm neurotic like that.

See ya on Tuesday, guys and gals. I'll probably have gained about five pasta-and-gelato pounds, but it will have been worth it.

Ciao for now,

Lauren

Have fun! Rome is my favorite Eurpoean city. I LOVE Rome! The shopping, the quaint cobbled streets, the food, the beautiful architecture, the history, the wine..beautiful city! When I went there a few years ago, our hotel room was directly across from a bread bakery. Oooooh! That was heaven. Waking up to smell of freshly baked bread everyday was exquisite.

Hope you have a ball!

Yea, Rome is a favorite of mine, too. Although Barcelona takes the prize for my top city. You won't gain weight b/c you'll walk so much, but the food is really good if you find the right spots. And…yea…the MEN. They LOVE them some black girls. Please take advantage of that. I can no longer pursue such decadence so please, please do it for BMD. ;-)

Have a wonderful time, Mama!

Oh yes, the men! Woooo. You would swear they had never had a caramel diva in their midst. Yes, the Italian men like a little chocolate.

Have a great time Lauren! Make sure to make your way to Trastevere and if possible eat at La Boticella (on Via della Scala if I'm not mistaken). Great food and the chef is a lovely lady. She'll hook you up!

^^You crack me up. The info I have to share might offend some of our readers so I kept my mouth shut. However my advice would be to try one out. And then another and another and another and another. ;-) It's important to be well rounded, ya know.

Chic Noir, Miss BMD broke it down on a thread a couple of days ago, can't remember, but she answered your question above. It got the commenters' interest, no doubt.

Hey, look at Robert DeNiro, Frank Langella and many other Italian-American celebs, they know where the sugar's at!

PS TO THE BLACK MEN: Y'all crossed the line too at one point, so don't front.

Daria - I have a feeling a lot of people are looking at travelocity! Look into Spain and Greece, too. We have a similar effect on the male population.
