I think my heart skipped a beat, when I first learned about “The Best Man Holiday” movie. If you were in high school (like me) when “The Best Man” was released then you understand where I’m coming from. Admittedly, I also felt a little like Sirius Black did in “The Prisoner of Azkaban” (see a clip here). But better late than never, so all is forgiven.
To celebrate the movie’s release, Black Opal Cosmetics launched a “Win a LA Holiday Vacay” sweepstakes for a chance to win an all expense paid trip to Los Angeles. The sweepstakes is open now and ends on November 17, 2013, visit www.blackopalbeauty.com to enter.
As if the sweepstakes wasn’t enough, Black Opal has also launched their “The Best Man Holiday” collection inspired by Nia Long’s character Jordan Armstrong. When “The Best Man” was released, I related most to Monica Calhoun’s character Mia Morgan (pictured below).
Mia was sweet and innocent, yet had a ‘bad girl’ side that she kept private because “good girls never kiss and tell.” Her personality was similar to mine at the time. It will be interesting to see how the characters have evolved. I can’t say for certain that I would still relate to Mia the most at this point in my life.
That’s the amazing thing about life, each new experience teaches you something new about yourself. You grow and evolve. Regardless of whether I still relate most to Mia in the new movie, I will always be the ‘sweet innocent girl’ on the inside…with a ‘bad girl’ edge discretely hidden, of course.
Which character do you relate to the most and why?
