I ATTENDED the VMAs and fell in love with Drake's classic man kiss


(www.FatGirlLovesCake.com) - I've never been a big Drake fan but after being an eye witness to his sexy speech and take charge kiss to Rihanna at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards, I've upgraded my relationship goals.

SERENA WILLIAMS gave me her bra

(www.FatGirlLovesCake.com) - I'd be lying if I said hanging with Serena Williams at her bra event at Macy's in NYC was the first time I've met her. I've been in the media game for a long time, so I've had a lot of opportunity to see her up close. Still, her August 25, 2016 event was by far one of my favorites.

I was so excited for her as a business woman and role model. She was very composed and looked amazing even as fans got a little crazy when she bent down and poked her booty out to hug a six year old friend.

When the event was over, I spent some time with the spokesperson from the bra company. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the bras go up to a size "I." So we're going to do a sumthin sumthin with them.

Stay tuned. For now, here's some more pics and a video or two. Enjoy!

UNINTENTIONAL BACHELORETTE: Inside my online dating journey

(www.FatGirlLovesCake.com) - I am relunctantly back in the dating scene. Actually, let me correct that. I'm dipping my toe into the pond. As part of a 30 Day Online Dating challenge, I decided to sign up for a few online dating websites and see what happened. I abandoned one site within two days. I hated it. The other was just too intense for me. The men wanted to rush into marriage and while marriage and being in love is a life goal, I want to take my time getting to know the man I bring into my life. So, I've primarily focused my attention on the third dating website. It's been a lot of fun chatting with people online but I wasn't ready to meet people in person. I've met a few - including one I really like and have high hopes for - but for the most part I was just chatting until the dating challenge required me to meet at least 15 guys in person. Some of have been "drive by" coffee dates and others I met for happy hour. One got a little physical....Stay tuned.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW with Melissa McCarthy of Ghostbusters



www.FatGirlLovesCake.com - Considering that I pretty much started my blog at the same time that Melissa McCarthy started her clothing line, it seems only right that I get this exclusive with her majesty herself.

HOLY COW: Kim Kardashian is producing her OWN reality TV competition for #FashionBloggers

(www.FatGirlLovesCake.com) - My new besties Kim Kardashian West continues to inspire the SHIT out of me. Sorry for cursing but nothing I could say could explain how excited am about it. I'd lying if I said I've always been a fan. But I'm a huge fan now thanks to her mobile mogul mentality.
