Fair Or Foul??? Minnesota Bride & Groom Bill No-Show Wedding Guests $80 For Skipping Their Nuptials

Tacky or nah??? Bride & Groom Bill No-Show Wedding Guests A Minnesota couple is making national headlines after they sent bills to confirmed guests who skipped out on their big day. One of the no-shows recently outed the couple after she says she received an $80 bill for missing their reception dinner of herb crusted Walleye. Kare11 reports: It was a couple weeks ago, Jessica Baker was getting ready to go to a wedding with her husband when she got a call from her mom. “She called at the last minute and had something come up and said I can’t make it,” said Baker. Her mom was supposed to watch their kids. And since the invitation said no children, that meant no wedding. But then this week, she received a bill for the dinner they were supposed to have enjoyed. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” she said with a smile. “It listed, we would have had two herb crusted walleye and there was also a service and tax charge.” The total came to $75.90. “This cost reflects the amount paid by the bride and groom for meals that were RSVP’d for, reimbursement and explanation for no show, card, call or text would be appreciated,” the note read. She has no plans on paying it, but she did wonder what else she could have done. “This is kind of the wild story,” said Sarah Baumann Rogers. She’s the editor of Minnesota Bride magazine and has some experience on wedding etiquette. “Under no circumstances should you choose to follow up after the fact…kind of questioning why they couldn’t attend or much less sending a bill,” she said. “General rule is prepare for about 10 percent of overage or underage when you’re planning a big event like that and catering companies are well aware of this,” she said Hmmm, what do YOU think??? Is it fair or foul for newlyweds to bill no-show guests??? Wouldn’t this ruin some friendships??? Christianbed.com/Wiki Commons

Uncle Toms: Ben Carson Tells NASCAR Fans The Confederate Flag Should Never Be Taken Down

Ben Carson Tells NASCAR Fans The Confederate Flag Is Ok Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson thinks NASCAR fans should be allowed to fly Confederate flags on private property, he said at an event with racing legend Richard Petty on Monday. Via SI : The controversy surrounding the flag and NASCAR reached a peak this summer when racing fans continued to fly the flag in the wake of a racially motivated killing in Charleston, S.C., when nine black churchgoers were murdered by a white man. Petty called the debate over the flag, which is considered a symbol of southern pride by many who display it at racing events, “a passing fancy.” Carson, who is the only African-American candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, said on Monday that people should be permitted to fly the flag if they want to, even if it is considered a hate symbol by many. “Swastikas are a symbol of hate for some people, too. And yet they still exist in museums and places like that,” Carson told the Associated Press. “If it’s a majority of people in that area who want it to fly, I certainly wouldn’t take it down.” Petty, who retired from racing in 1992, informally endorsed Carson and called him “very humane.” Really?!?

A Lil Positivity: Michelle Obama Brings Girl Power To Harlem

Glamour Hosts “The Power Of An Educated Girl” With First Lady Michelle Obama The First Lady Said Educating Girls Was One Of The Biggest Challenges Facing The Globe First Lady Michelle Obama came to Harlem Tuesday to spread the message that all girls deserve access to education. On the heels of launching her #62MillionGirls education campaign, Obama joined actress Charlize Theron, former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Glamour magazine editor Cindi Lieve at the Apollo Theater for a panel on the need to teach millions of girls around the world who were not in school. “It’s my mission,” Obama said, “to make sure that every girl on the planet has the same opportunity that I’ve had, that my daughters have, and I want to make sure that all of you, here in the United States, are taking advantage of the opportunities you have as well. I want you to be that hungry, to get your education, because it’s going to be the key to your future.”’ Glamour Hosts “The Power Of An Educated Girl” With First Lady Michelle Obama. (L-R) Former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Founder of Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project and U.N. Messenger of Peace Charlize Theron, First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama, Girl ambassador from Plan International Nurfahada and Glamour’s Editor-in-Chief Cindi Leive. More than 1,000 school girls packed the Apollo Theater in Harlem for the chat, where Obama said it’s critical that the 62 million girls around the world who were not in school get back into the classroom. “I believe that world poverty, world hunger, health issues —all of this stuff, lies in the empowerment of young women, young girls,” said Obama, whose government-led initiative, Let Girls Learn, uses community-based programs to get and keep girls in school. Tuesday’s talk had no shortage of star power: Chicago PD actress Sophia Bush kicked off the event with a speech about how her time in school opened her eyes to life’s possibilities, and pop stars Nico and Vinz brought the crowd to their feet with their hit song, “Am I Wrong.” But Obama was the one the girls came to see, and they gave her a standing ovation as she walked out onto the Apollo Theater stage. “You are our next future leaders, our entrepreneurs, our mothers,” the First Lady told the crowd. “This is no joke. This issue is probably one of the most important issues we should be tackling on the planet.” Glamour Hosts “The Power Of An Educated Girl” With First Lady Michelle Obama Obama said girls aren’t in school because of issues like teen pregnancy, poverty, early marriage and relatives who don’t see the need to teach females. Gillard, who was Australia’s first female Prime Minister when she served from 2010 to 2013, said girls who stay in school longer are less likely to enter forced marriages or be teenage moms. “Nations that we think now of as places of poverty and places of disorder, could be on a path to peace and prosperity because we’re educating the children, especially, girls,” Gillard said. Teaching girls around the world is an important cause for Theron, who said education would help stem the AIDS scourge ravaging her native South Africa. “For me, it’s more personal coming from a country where more people are living with HIV/AIDS than anywhere else in the world,” Theron said. “Education is actually saving lives.” As the talk wound down, one student in the audience asked what the panelists thought about the idea that boys liked girls who weren’t that smart. Obama’s response? Keep your heads in your books. “There is no boy at this age, that is cute enough or interesting enough to stop you from getting your education,” the First Lady said. “If I had worried about who liked me and who thought I was cute at your age, I wouldn’t be married to the President of the United States.”

Wait, What? Taraji P. Henson Says Her Gay Cousin Taught Her How To Be A Lady

Taraji P. Henson CR Fashion Book If you haven’t mastered the fine art of being a lady in public, you may want to seek out the services of a gay man to take you from Ratchet Rachel to Classy Cassie. It pretty much worked for Taraji P. Henson. We all have one person to thank for Taraji’s consistent and effortless slayage on the red carpet, and that’s her now-deceased gay cousin. The Emmy-nominated Empire actress is currently showcasing her feminine beauty in the pages of CR Fashion Book. Inside, Taraji reveals that it was actually her cousin who taught her all she knows about being a lady, and why she tries to carry a clutch when stepping out. Let me take you on a trip. My cousin had been battling AIDS and he passed away on the same day that my character [Queenie from The Curious Case of Benjamin Button] died. This is my cousin who took me to drag shows. He told me about down-low brothers, he may have saved my life. He also taught me about being a lady. He told me ladies carry clutches on the red carpet, so sometimes when I don’t carry a clutch I feel I’m disgracing him. It’s the simple stuff you miss in a person. No one ever taught me how to properly put toilet tissue on the spool, with the flap hanging toward you, not underneath. He taught me that, and it lives with me to this day. Whenever I go into someone’s bathroom and their tissue isn’t the right way, I look up in the sky, and I go, Damn! So ladies, who taught you how to be prim and proper? Also, hit the flip for more of Taraji’s hot CR Fashion Book shots. CR Fashion Book
