I can't believe that packing list....are these children attending with a note pinned to their jacket from their parents? It is a ONE DAY event in NYC for crying out loud. Adult women need to be told, apparently, that the designer bag you carry is not just a fashion accessory. You should use it to hold stuff. Honestly, being told to carry a credit card, comb and lipstick? Oh, and a snack, just in case! 3 Link to comment

Apparently since she's unemployed...oops, "between jobs" she has apparently visited the donation bin at her church...blindfolded. She thinks a woman's value is in having a man. Any man!

CattyTiger August 22, 2014 Share August 22, 2014 These attendees need to be told what to pack? God only knows how I made my own list for a football weekend and packed those things. 2 Link to comment
susieq147 August 22, 2014 Share August 22, 2014 These attendees need to be told what to pack? Maybe the organizers follow Sherri on Twitter and are aware of her recent trip to Atlanta where she didn't pack enough (or the appropriate) clothes. But they probably should have specified no hole-ridden jeans. THIS MEANS YOU SHERRI SHEPHERD. 2 Link to comment
CousinAmy August 22, 2014 Share August 22, 2014 (edited) It sounds like they expect the participants to dress neatly and be well-groomed. (That Chia pet remark was for Sherri, I'm convinced.) It will be fun seeing what Sherri will choose to wear. Barbara Walters seemed to have been a positive influence on Sherri when she was there - Sherri has the capability to dress like an adult woman. But without Barbara Sherri has gone in the complete opposite direction. I have to admit that I wear thrift-shop jeans but I'd never wear ripped jeans. They might look cute on young girls - but if Sherri wants to wear them, she should be wearing a high-end sweater or shirt. Edited August 22, 2014 by CousinAmy 2 Link to comment

I always shop in resale and thrift stores and I have bought jeans with a hole or two in them. However, they are not shredded. And yes I wear a nice shirt and wedge shoes with them. Sherri always tries to dress trendy. And too many trends mixed together. She definitely needs a stylist. But we all know how Sherri is at taking advice. And as much as I love high heels I know they are not appropriate with every outfit. I don't think I ever seen in Sherri in anything but heels. 2 Link to comment

No, it's: Activate! 2K14 is created to support and provoke women to live unapologetically, express themselves authentically and lead with a purpose. Activate! 2K14 will provide attendees with the systems, strategies and network to help women grow, lead and activate their lives.

DangerousMinds August 22, 2014 Share August 22, 2014 (edited) the thing is - that is actually good advice, if you don't twist it to mean something else. To me, it's directed at women who are looking for a certain physical type - tall, blue eyes, dresses a certain way, drives a certain kind of car. It just means to look past the superficial physical "type" and consider a guy's personality and character as more important. Sherri really didn't get it, because she always described Sal in terms of his height and weight, not in terms of his character. Sherri used to "feel" protected by Sal, even when he wasn't around. remember how when a man accidentally got into her car, and she freaked out thinking she was going to be robbed, kidnapped and raped - she was calling her ' 6 foot 4, 200 and whatever pound husband' to come and beat the guy up. He wasn't even THERE, and she was feeling protected by his size. Date for your priorities means to not overlook a guy who might be short, or balding, or nerdy, if he's a decent, moral guy who has the qualities you need in a partner in the long run. Sherri kind of used it to latch on to a guy who fit in with her group of friends. I think her "priority" was just to find a man. I think certain types of women have always done this. They may fall head over heels in love with a man, for instance, but if that man doesn't make much money, these women will find someone who can "provide" for them, instead of pulling their own weight, because their priority is for a man to take care of them. Ditto for a man who may fall deeply in love with a woman, but he's a doctor or lawyer or politician, and feels he "needs" a certain type of wife by his side, regardless of love. Those are his priorities.In Sherri's case, it seems her priorities included having a husband who had the time and inclination to be a substitute father for Jeffrey. She mentioned at one point that she usually preferred skinny men, instead of Sal's physical type, and constantly harped about wanting a man with a good FICO score, but Sal was neither of these things. It seems her priority was to find someone willing to marry her sooner than later and to be there to help with Jeffrey, since she feels he needs a man in his daily life so badly.

CathinAZ August 23, 2014 Share August 23, 2014 Never heard about the show mentioned above, so googled it and found: "SundanceTV presents its new original series THE APPROVAL MATRIX, hosted by comedian Neal Brennan — co-creator of Chappelle’s Show and recurring director for Inside Amy Schumer. Inspired by New York Magazine’s pop culture roundup, THE APPROVAL MATRIX is a funny, provocative talk show about our current cultural obsession. For six weekly episodes, Brennan and a panel of insiders/celebrities/critics will hilariously debate today’s most controversial entertainment/news items. Executive produced by Rory Albanese (The Daily Show) and Ish Entertainment’s Michael Hirschorn (Best Week Ever)." Has Salley ever even been on a TV show before (other than when he was on The View with Sherrie?). Is he even considered to be a real insider/celebrity? Ha! Link to comment

dumbdownus August 23, 2014 Share August 23, 2014 (edited) Wondering WHY the "media" seem to be ignoring Sherri Shepherd's actions regarding the baby she has loudly said she wanted for years.

That's not entirely accurate. He asked for legal and physical custody of the child but also for "reasonable" visitation rights for Sherri. He also asked that she not interfere with him taking custody of the child at birth, which basically translates into please don't storm into the hospital and make a huge, ugly scene and a literal tug-of-war over the child. I have to be honest, it doesn't take much imagination for me to picture Sherri doing just that in the heat of the moment if left to her own devices.

Not only the hospital bills but the other medical costs involved with a birth, then you add in what the surrogate charged, the egg donor charged, I would think major bucks were involved & Sherri was the only one who had money. So she feels she can just "write off" those expenses, she has no biological or sentimental attachment to the child, another expensive "mistake" on her part. On the radio show yesterday she stated she had not done her "due diligence" regarding Sal, guess she didn't do any "due diligence" or any real thought to consequences with the whole surrogacy plan.... 1 Link to comment

kaygeeret August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 No need to purchase distressed jeans (at $250-$300 a pair) if you wear the same pair of jeans everyday though OR - go to Kohl's (or any store of your choice that has affordable jeans), use your 15, 20 or 30% off coupon (or Kohl's cash if you have any), take the jeans home, use your own scissors and cut away. Wash in mild bleach, hang outside in the sun, rinse and repeat - - - VOILA, I predict you will have a pair of jeans as fashion 'forward' as Sherri's - and you can still afford a cool pair of shoes at DSW! The original Cinderella story was very dark...lots of death, terrible treatment by the stepmom and sises, toes cut off etc. And of course a man rides up to save the day. Read the Grimm's fairy tales as they were originally published - that is some scary stuff! The Disneyfication of fairy tales has completely changed their impact, for better or worse I am not prepared to say. You'll look better too! 3 Link to comment

She's not off the hook for anything until multiple courts say she is. Last I heard, California wasn't moving forward on the child support etc. issue until the Pennsylvania courts made a decision. Presumably that's the first step in her attempt to break the GC contract. I don't think we've seen anything yet about whether not Pennsylvania has made its decision. Should be interesting. 3 Link to comment
