Being that I am the only lefty in my family that I know of I never had anyone to relate to. Growing up simple things like writing in a “right-handed” desks, cutting with “right handed” scissors, or trying to skip on my “skip it” in the right direction were hard for me to conquer! The counter on my skip it always went backwards 🙁
So growing up lefty was a little hard. Despite that I appreciate the fact that I’m one of few and that being a “lefty” has it’s special perks. In lieu of this I thought I’d enlighten my fellow readers (YOU) about some left-handed facts 🙂
Most left-handers draw figures facing to the right.
There is a high tendency in twins for one to be left-handed
Stuttering and dyslexia occur more often in left-handers.
Left-handers day is August 13th 🙂
10% of the human population is left handed.
Left-handers adjust more readily to seeing underwater.
One of the few cameras ever produced for left-handers was the half-frame Yashica Samurai. Cameras predominantly have the hand grip, shutter release, film wind lever and commonly used selection buttons, switches and dials controlled by the right hand.
Left-handers excel particularly in tennis, baseball, swimming and fencing
Left-handers have trouble manipulating items that are made for right-handed use, such as can openers or scissors, but they actually manage better than right-handed people who attempt to use similar items made for left-handed people.
Left-handers usually reach puberty 4 to 5 months after right-handers
4 of the 5 original designers of the Macintosh computer were left-handed
1 in 4 Apollo astronauts were left-handed – 250% more than the normal level.
Left-handers are generally more intelligent, better looking, imaginative and multi-talented than right handers – based on discussions among members of the Left-Handers Club! 🙂
But HEY rightys!!! You might be more “left-handed” then you think… Click and see!!

One of my favorite people was in town this week! None other the Chris 🙂
He was in town accompanying his client Kriyss Grant for a performance on Bet’s 106 & Park.
“Before reaching the age of 21 Chris “Kriyss” Grant achieved goals that some would never dare to dream. Chosen by the most prominent female performer of our times, Beyoncé Knowles, Kriyss was appointed as Assistant Choreographer for her riveting I AM…SASHA FIERCE Tour. Kriyss’s ultimate dreams were realized when he was chosen by the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, to perform on his “This Is It” tour. Kriyss has also worked with artists such as Rich Girl, Montana Tucker, and PA. Kriyss has amazed American television viewers world-wide with his talent and choreography on MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew. He also captivated millions of viewers with his singing and dancing abilities, as well as his humble spirit, on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, MTV’s Making the Band 4, and BET’s 106 and Park.”
Rehearsals were held at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and I was excited to see the behind the scenes of the performance. Kriyss was extremely professional and humble. There is no doubt that he’s a rising star!!
I wouldn’t say I have a huge sweet tooth but their are a few things that I totally crave. One of them is cupcakes! Before seeing Avatar Mrs. Boots took me to her favorite little spot Buttercream Cupcakes and Coffee in Coral Gables, Florida. They are tucked away in a small strip but the inside of the bakery is quaint. Mrs. Boots is a frequent patron so she insisted on treating me.
I settled for the Red Velvet and she got the Chocolate Peppermint. –Moist and simply delish!!
