Stacey Dash: From Actress to Congress

-

Don’t let the name of her most famous movie trick you!  Stacey Dash, age 51, is prepared and has all the right answers to fulfill your needs about her running for Congress.  She has filled out the paperwork and gotten her Twitter account rolling by tweeting things like “Soon”. Dash played Dionne Davenport, the main character Cher’s best friend, in Clueless in 1995. Most recently, she worked at FOX as an air contributor until 2016.
Ms. Dash was born in Bronx, New York to drug addicted parents but she isn’t letting her upbringing do anything but inspire her. The former actress will be running for California’s 44th district which includes Compton, Watts, San Pedro and North Long Beach.  “I live in the 44th unlike some who don’t live in their districts”, she added” Thank you for the support”.  California’s 44th District has been in the hands of Democrats since 2012 but Stacey as a republican is hoping to change that.  She is expected to be one of the top two primary candidates come November. When looking back on Dash’s political history, she voted for former President Obama in 2004 but then supported Mitt Romney in 2008.  Dash said she wanted the next four years to be different and received backlash from Hollywood for supporting Romney.
Dash’s political views follow insight with the republican views and she has spoken out about her personal political views before.  Referring back to living in the Bronx as a child she saw that those who lived on welfare when she was a child were not respected in her community.  That the ‘hustlers’ who made a living for themselves were never messed with and were respected. Dash also has commented on Black History Month and integration saying, “We have to make up our minds. Either we want segregation or integration.  And if we don’t want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards and the image awards, where you’re only awarded if you’re black. If it were the other way around, we would be up in arms. It’s a double standard”.  At the time, republican presidential candidate Donald Trump praised her for this.
When it was announced Dash filled out the papers to run for Congress, Playboy took it into their hands to remind everyone that she had done an issue with them back in 2006.  Playboy’s Instagram caption reads, “As actress and conservative commentator @REALstaceydash begins to prepare her campaign for Congress in California, we look back to August 2006 at pictures that can enjoyed across party lines”.  Although making a point, it is one that isn’t very supportive to Stacey Dash’s hopeful success. Dash was quick to tweet a follower back who brought it up on Twitter responding, “My response: I conferred with my children when offered. They told me 'go for it mom.' If they didn’t have an issue with it, neither should anyone else. #NoShame”.

Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again Review *NO SPOILERS*

My Thoughts Me in the empty theater an  hour before the previews Last night I saw the premiere of Mamma Mia 2: Here We Go Again and I am still unsure what to say.  I was so excited to see the movie that I made my family show up at 9PM for a 9:50PM showing.  We definitely didn't need to show up that early considering the next people didn't show up until 9:30PM but oh well!  Before going in I was interested in a few things.  The first was what is Meryl Streeps role in this movie?  I had only seen a quick snippet of her in a preview.  I also wondered about how the flashbacks would work.  Will they be half and half of the movie or back and forth over the whole time?  I won't give any spoilers away about what happens in the movie though.  Mamma Mia 2 held up to my very high expectations.  I loved the movie and all the songs and dancing.  I will say that if you are anything like me, aka a big baby, you may want to bring tissues. The movie is set forward five years fro

Night Time Drive Playlist

When I first started driving, my friends and I loved to out at night and just drive to somewhere we could park and just talk.  I still love to drive late at night and the feeling it gives me.  When its late at night, there are only a few people out driving so the empty roads help clear your mind to think.  While driving at night and chatting, my friends and I felt that certain songs spoke to us the best because of the time of night.  Here are the songs that I think are great to listen to while taking a late night drive! Boston by Augustana Drops of Jupiter by Train How to Save a Life by The Fray Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol Hey There Delilah by Plain White T’s She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5 You’re Beautiful by James Blunt XO by John Mayer Me and Tennesse by Tim McGraw and Gwyneth Paltrow Picture by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow  Stay by Rihanna and Mikky Ekko I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley Hear You Me by Jim
