I’ve confessed my addiction to lip gloss, now let me admit to another addiction. I can’t have enough shoes. And I KNOW I’m not alone in my obsession. The only difference between us might be the kind of shoes that grab us. I have flat-as-a-board feet, and I wear a size ten. I’m not looking…
Issues
Keep it Up, BET!
Like many of you, I’d more or less given up on the ol’ BET. I grew up on it, having been a Video Soul with Donnie Simpson baby, but somewhere around the era of Miss Cita and Uncut, I realized that this wasn’t for me. Then after Free and AJ left, it was a wrap….
How Odd
So I just went over to Cosmo Girl to put in a last vote for my girl Kiri, and I found this mysterious statement instead: “CG!’s film contest CosmoGIRL! and Take Action Hollywood announce our Film Contest finalists. We have determined that the online voting has been corrupted as a result of one or more…
An Open Letter to Hip Hop
Aww, Ludacris is such a cutie, playing with his daughter Karma in the park. She’s so adorable with her afropuff. So sweet, so innocent. I wonder if Luda lets his little girl listen to his music? “Shake, shake, shake your money maker, Like you were shaking it for some paper. Took your momma 9 months…
Imus Has a History
So I wound up discussing this Don Imus controversy with two of my good friends here in Miami, both of whom are well-respected journalists and all around brilliant dudes: Forrest Norman and Francisco “Frank” Alvarado. They brought Imus’s history of racist remarks to my attention. I knew the guy had a reputation as a prick…
Lord Give Me A Sign ** edited April 17
Today I got an incoming link from a new website, which I will decline to name at this time. So as I always do, I clicked the new link to check out what this new site was all about. And it’s everything that I’ve written. Word for word, photo for photo, video for video. It’s…
Back To Roots
So you remember back in February I was wondering what Ms. Dynamite was up to? I found out, thanks to one of my new favorite sites — Racialicious. Turns out she’s been in Jamaica working on a BBC documentary about the Maroons, which aired last Sunday on BBC 2. I’d love to see this documentary….
Not Today
I’m pretty much drowning in work today, so no post from me until later, bellas. But I do have two quick things to say. 1. Paging Kam! Kam, you won the conditioner sample and I’ve tried e mailing you three times to no avail. My e mail has been returned every time. If you want…
Choices of the Heart
There’s a special place in my heart for celebrities who put their families first. We’re always so oversaturated with news and photos of celebrities who are strung out on the crack that is fame, often talentless individuals who do almost anything to be photographed and written about. The tractor beam of the spotlight must be…
