Kimberly Jessy Reporting in LIVE today with one heck of a busy week with articles to write, Celebrity footage to edit and post, and Books to reviews. Its never a dull moment in Pinkville!

This week I had the amazingly wonderful surprise of being present at a book signing that was dear to my heart.

Lifestyle writer Christelyn Karazin-author of the popular blog BeyondBlackWhite.com-along with career journalist Janice Rhoshalle Littlejohn, authored the now FAMED BOOK
Swirling: How to Date, Mate, and Relate Mixing Race, Culture, and Creed

I say FAMED because I get a feeling that if the right hands gets a hold of this book, we could end up with a Big Screen Hit specifically for BROWN Girls that love to date Beyond the Black Race.

Move over Steve Harvey “Think Like a Man’ and Watch out “Sex in the City” Swirling is a Tipping Point waiting to HAPPEN! This could easily be a BLOCKBUSTER FILM!

i love the movie idea.  I was already wondering if you were thinking about "How long would it be, before the book hits the screen?"   I am already finished with the book and I received mine Friday afternoon...  LOL....

 Morenika You finished that quickly? Wow! You a speed reader?

 Christelyn  Well I am home due to recent surgery and have been made to sit down.  I have not put the book down.  Even while in the car riding with my Mother who was driving me around, I was reading.  I am not always a fast reader especially with homework, but , you did extremely well with this book and I have all the confidence in the world that you have more to give.....

No, I wasn't. I know how the industry works and why it works that way.

 

Here's an example of joking:

 

Of course, expect in 20 years, if your 'Swirling' books become a franchise like 'Madea', that Maxi-Me will write a tell-all book about what it was like to be your daughter and how awful it was what with your bedroom neatness and, uh, wardrobe storage issues.

That's joking.

Great article! 

 

A bit of interesting self-confession on the part of the author. Perhaps this situation is more common that generally accepted.

 

Remember, I was the first to point out a possible cinematic treatment. My advice: surrender artistic and content control for a bunch of money up front and a percentage of gate and a percentage of follow-on. They'll probably rewrite the whole thing as a star-making vehicle for Kanye West and a reprise of the male cast from "Think Like A Man". Swirling Black women will shame-facedly return to the unicorn-filled world of Black Love in the rewrite for the requisite Politically Correct feel-good ending. It's what Hollywood knows how to do and they do it well. Too well. Ask Ernest Hemingway, et al.

 

You'll hate how they raped your book and cry genuine tears of rage, betrayal and disgust. All. The. Way. To. The. BANK!!!!

 

Write another book!

 Law Wanxi Well, I can't say much now, but there's some stuff in in the works, and it's not with Your Mom's Garage Production Studios. It's the real deal. Won't say anything until there's ink to paper, but just know all of you are on the right track. *clears throat* Law, didn't you say your bro was an entertainment attorney?

 Christelyn  

Wealth Management is his speciality; with a certain amount of packaging of deals for investors. You're not there yet. He's gone from the USA to Taiwan in under two years anyway. He recently merged, uh, married the daughter of a media conglomerate scion from Taipei. To quote Sean Connery in Dragonheart "I am the last one." Well, and my grandmother, of course.

Your book made into a movie? I would die. And then I'd be brought back from the dead to see it during the opening weekend.
