I’ve been thinking about Kanye West all day, following the news that his mother — Dr. Donda West, the former professor and chair of Chicago State University’s English department, author of Raising Kanye: Life Lessons From the Mother of a Hip-Hop Superstar, CEO of Super Good, the parent company of Kanye West Enterprises — had…

Best. Episode. Ever
This whole season of Curb Your Enthusiasm has given me a newfound love for the show. Yes, Larry’s a total curmudgeon, but he was definitely more of a well-rounded and lovable curmudgeon this season. I don’t want to ruin anything for those of you who watch the show, and I don’t know if you all…
Yet Another Jam from Back in the Day
I had such a great response to my last Eighties music post, I’m going to go back into the musical vaults more often. This week’s throwback jam is from 1990. The early Nineties were such an embarrassing, funny, great period of fashion and music. Dudes in spandex biker shorts doing the Roger Rabbit. Chicks with…
“Ugh” Days
Monday was an “ugh” day for me. You know — those days when you wake up with the weight of the world on your shoulders? When your energy is at its lowest ebb all day long, and you just feel like “ugh, I can’t do this BS today.” Those days when people make you sick…
Those Cleopatra Eyes
Now I sometimes think of the look as “Amy Winehouse eyes” — others call it “cat’s eyes.” That heavily exaggerated eyeliner drama is also often associated with Cleopatra and ancient Egyptian beauty — here’s La Liz rocking the look back in 1963. Talk about a makeup muse. These girls nowadays have NOTHING on Liz. Breaking…
In Defense of Diana
I normally leave the celebrity gossip to the experts, but I spotted this photo of the one and only Miss Diana Ross over at DListed (photo courtesy of Wenn), and I felt compelled to comment. The hilarious dude at DListed declares, “Diana Ross needs to behead whatever queen did her make-up.” So harsh! Of course…
A Question for the Ladies
I’m well aware that I have more than a few male readers. Most of you might not leave comments ever, but I know you dudes are there, soaking up the Afrobella love. And being married to a typical manly male, I know there are some things he’s down to discuss, and some things he doesn’t…
Worth a Click
You know, the name “worth a click” is pretty damn lame. I couldn’t think of an alternative when I decided to do a super random post of everything that’s swirling around my brain at the moment. Got a better suggestion? Help me come up with something and if I pick your choice, I’ll mail ya…
Hot Pink Products!
As a wee follow up to the earlier post about my relative, I wanted to shine a light on some of the cool Breast Cancer Awareness Month products that are available this month. Between The Breast Cancer Research Foundation and Susan G. Komen, the list of stuff to stock up on is practically endless. This…
Thanks and Praises to You!
Wednesday = pressure, so I can’t stay long this morning. Like Vanessa Williams, I got work to do! But I just wanted to take a moment to thank you ladies who comment and help to create this wonderful community we’ve got going here. And I’m not the only one who wants to say thank you!…
