Scandalous Saturday

Be naughty - save Santa a trip- Unknown

WE CAN DO IT ANYWHERE

Tired of the 500 thread count sheets?? Well ladies and gents how does the saying go "show me a Bad Chick/ Fly Dude and I'll show you someone who is tired of....." You all know the rest. It's been voiced before and heard. Ladies, when your man's love is the mission, missionary is no GOOD!! Gents time to step your A game up- LITERALLY out the bedroom and unto some place new. Just what place that is you ask?? Leave it to FIRSTCLASSLADIES PICKS!

Public Library and/or university libraries - both steamy and very risky places to spice up the sex- IF DONE CORRECTLY. We know it sounds out there but those late nights while students are studying for that final or writing a paper due the next morning is thee perfect time because they are so focused that they are not really paying attention to whats going on around them. This is also a great stress reliever so get comfy in the Z section and remember "Silence! this is the library!"

Whats for lunch? how about sex in the parking lot! Its the best time of the day because eveyone is either out to lunch or working ovetime in the office. People will be so busy checking voicemails, thinking of what to eat, gossiping about Mr. Stienhart and the new secretary, they wont have time to be checking for you and your mid-day randeyvoo. The top of the parking lot is the best location if your tryning to avoid people walking by. Keep in mind this is a lunch break so not too wild- you have to see your boss again!

So your at a public event and you two spot each other from across the room and the urge to jump one another's bones comes along. Have no fear there is a restroom near!!! Yes you read it right the bathroom. Single bathrooms are always better but bathrooms with more than one stall is not hard to work with. Just make sure only one set of legs show and depending on the event, the volume is kept to a minimum. As 1stClassLadies say "If you not physically ready dont try this!"

Let's just say this pick won't help you get that long awaited promotion with your boss however it will take your lover by storm. Pulling off this spontaneous act for two will surely keep your relationship on edge and adventurous. This particular pick allows you,to put your best sex act on; in the words of Twista & Chris Brown "baby we don't need no script for this....IMMA pull my camera out and baby strip for this...". So lock that office door, forward all calls, out to lunch *hint hint* and let the fun begin. We promos this will keep him curious as to what's next.

Penthouse suite, roof tops, tenth floor balcony, get the picture?? Well let's paint it. Nothing is more exciting than to reach your point of climax at a great height. So ladies planning to go on a vacation where you and your lover have all access to a hotel room with a balcony?! Take the opportunity one fair weathered night with a beautiful view to show him what you're made of when taken out of the comfort zone of a bedroom!! In an apartment building with access to the roof top?? Climb on up and we mean that in all ways possible. With nothing but space and opportunity, despite some nervousness of maybe getting caught it makes for a thrilling spot to get it in and is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.

The park isn’t the only place where you can catch some fireworks!! How about creating your own??!! Late night walk gazing at the stars from under the bridge coming across a deserted park area….you’ve got a fantasy a waiting to be turned into reality. Find a bench to sit; lay or ladies in the words of Usher “arch your back girl.” However you get the do done, consider it a night worth wild!!

Now boarding for take off to pure bliss.. Please fasten your seat belts due to turbulence. Ding* Any 1stClass Lady knows, a trip in the clouds is not complete without being inducted into " The Mile High Club". Werther seated in first class or discreetly occupying the plane restroom. The jet lag after you land shouldn't be your only reason of much needed rest. Of course the space is limited; yet with proper footing and impeccable balance. You are bound to receive a set of pilot wings.

You know what they say.. "Rock the boat..." Why not cause some extra tidal waves while you're on the sea. When you think about it, it's one of the most romantic and secluded public spaces. Just you, your love and the ships crew. But if you know how to sail, even better!! Bring role playing into the fun; making your partner your first mate. You can even go overboard and have a aquatic encounter.

What kind of tourist would you be if you haven't blessed another city, state, or country with a quickie at their most famous attractions?!?! Whether statue or bridge; it is definitely a rush. With Lady Liberty just celebrating her 125th, birthday we'd say it was a starting point. With her torch lit as; your eternal fire is ignited. However, with cameras just being installed you must be agile and prepared if authority shows up in case you need to sprint.

Thoughts For Thursday

A man who won't die for something is not fit to live - Martin Luther King Jr

A Man Of Less Words And More Actions!

A champion of the Human Rights Movement and awarded the highest civilian award of the world, the noble peace prize at the age of 35yrs old, Martin Luther King Jr. (who was actually born Michael but changed it after being baptized) was put on this earth to make a change. With an excusent resume in the educational field such as graduating high school at 15yrs old to later completing his residence for his doctorate in 1953 and receiving the degree in 1955 it is no wonder he was and still is so well respected. Not to mention being a member of the executive committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the leading organization of its kind in the nation. He led the civil rights movement as an activist in the United States from the mid-1950s until his death by assassination in 1968.

His leadership was fundamental to that movement's success in ending the legal segregation of African Americans in the South as well as other parts of the United States. If there wasan injustice, protest, and/or an action being taken place you better believe King was there traveling over six million miles and speaking over 2500 times. King wrote five books and numerous articles.He was arrested upwards of twenty times and assaulted at least four times but he was determined to complete his "Dream."For that reason he continued his task to later be named Man of the Year by Time magazine in 1963 and became not only the symbolic leader of American blacks but also a world figure.

Now we fast foward to present time on the beautiful day of October 16th,2011 at 8am in Washington DC when the statue of this courage and unforgettable man was unvieled.The Memorial’s address is 1964 Independence Ave, SW, Washington, DC 20024. The street number is a reference to the Civil Right’s Act of 1964, a milestone which Dr. King played an integral role in achieving. It stands tall at 450 ft long which sets him apart from the statues of Jefferson and Lincoln standing at only 20ft tall. It's also the first memorial on the mall of an african American person. The sculpture shows king in a way that many viewed him. In his blazer and tie with his arm folded and holding a paper in his hands, he stands tall and strong. with a look of hope in his eyes as if he can see all of the hard work paying off in the end. All the blood, sweat, tears and pain being well worth it someday.

He wanted the memorial to be a visual representation of the ideals in King’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

The wall has 14 quotations from King's speeches and witings. Lei, the sculptor stated “His dream is very universal. It’s a dream of equality." He contiued by syaing "He went to jail. He had been beaten, and he sacrificed his life for his dream. And now his dream comes true.”

Many came out for the unvieling ofthe King's sculptue including king's son Martin Luther King lll. President Obama and his family was also in attendence along with thousands of others. From wise to young,men and woman were there to either remember , learn and/or acknowledge the man who is gone but NEVER forgotten.

Martin Luther King III and family at the dedication

He may be gone but his dream lives on everyday we continue to fight. Fight for the things we want and believe we deserve!
