Thank you for taking me back in time with that Sesame Street clip! Why did I think it was a white boy, though? So glad to see it was a black girl WITH a 'fro walking to the store BY HERSELF to buy just ONE STICK of butter just like I did back in those days. (Okay, now I'm getting mad...remembering how things USED to be for little kids...I was going to check out Summer's link but instead I'm moving on...) Bella, I am LOVING that Advanced Style blog. Kind of reminds me of The Sartorialist, which is one of my favorites. Kinda-sorta related but only when it comes to the age of the bloggers: Have you checked out Margaret and Helen's blog? http://margaretandhelen.wordpress.com/ Helen is 82 and she is NOT HOLDING BACK on this election cycle!

In other news, Afrobella, please, please, please check out this post over on msnbc: http://bodyodd.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/04/1343978.aspx It's about Uncontrollable Hair Syndrome, and though the authors don't seem to be connecting it to Afro hair, several of the commenters did. It's infuriating.

Crunktastical.net--If I ever need a reason to blow off some steam and get my silly on, Fresh & the Crunksters are guaranteed to put a smile on my face. I am so grateful that I have my own office at work because I would have surely gotten fired laughing at all the comments! 2. Black Girls Like Us--Tia & Toya are my "friends in the head". I would really love to meet these chicks one day because they sound like my kind of folks. Random, funny, spiritual, boy-crazy & real. 3."Indian Summer"-We have been having some fantastic weather in my neck of the woods (St. Louis, MO)! Today is the first fall-feeling day we have had in awhile. Temps last week were almost 80. 4.Robin Thicke, Raphael Saadiq & Eric Benet's new albums--You need them in your life! 5.Peep-toe boots for fall 5 things I’m loving right now:
