Blogosphere Check 1-2, 1-2...

During this holiday week, please enjoy the following reads from around the web:

• Miss Kitty Manners: Party Etiquette. The Professional couldn't have said it better herself, which is why she suggests you brush up on your party etiquette with Kitty Bradshaw before you make an ass out of yourself at this season's plethora of holiday gatherings.

• The Professional adores The Fly Guy for his candid love advice. And he DID THAT by writing "I Only Liked It, So I Didn't Put a Ring On It." Ouch! Now there are some biting words for the single ladies around the world gettin' a little too literal with Beyonce's number...

And finally...

• The Professional's beloved doll-baby at Urban Girl Love has addressed the commercial that we can neither stop talking about, nor stop laughing at--no matter how guilty it makes us feel. Yep, its "Chicken and R&B." It it a joke? Is it forreal? Should we be pissed? Should we slap a high-five to the genius behind it? Your thoughts and commentary are welcome :-)
