The trend of ridiculously insulting college parties continues at Clemson University in South Carolina. You know, there has to be a point when you’re applying black makeup from head to toe when you realize — damn, this is almost as racist as it gets. But that didn’t stop this idiot from leaving the frat house….

If Wishes Were Horses…
Inspired by a recent post by Beauty Addict, I spent some time browsing PostSecret recently. It’s one of my favorite sites — favorite ideas, really. Just that anyone with something deeply buried can share it with the world. I came across this one. That’s how I felt, too. Growing up in the Caribbean — where…
Moisturize Your Situation – Skin Edition
I’m trying to figure out a balance between social issues and beauty reviews, bellas. I’ve been in a contemplative mood these days, so now I’ll lighten it up with some beauty stuff. Back to my regularly scheduled post, which is long overdue! I did part one of Moisturize Your Situation (hair edition) back in December,…
Dumb and Dumber
I used to love Eddie Murphy. Back in the day on SNL, he was so hot and so bright, he practically glowed with talent. Buckwheat, Gumby, Mr Robinson’s Neighborhood, James Brown’s Celebrity Hot Tub Party. I thought everything he did was comedic gold. Loved Delirious, wasn’t as crazy about Raw — the misogyny and anger…
Natural Hair In The News
You know a phenomenon is near its peak when you find it being covered by mainstream media. Unlike Fung Shui, snowmen teeshirts, and “the hyphy movement,” or any other national phenomenon written about in the New York Times and Newsweek, I don’t think naturally curly hair is a craze that might sweep the nation and…
Fun With Eyeliners
It’s been getting kind of heavy around here – which I like, but I gotta switch it up on y’all today. I have a backlog of products to review, so get ready for a lot of that in the coming week. The good people over at drugstore.com and beauty.com sent me some cool new eyeliner…
One Simple Question
Oh my. Have we caught Senator Barack Obama and his beautiful wife Michelle in a tender moment? Or is he telling her what he’s just announced to the world on his website — that he’s forming a Presidential Exploratory Committee and that he intends to run for president in 2008? None of the above, I…
Yay!
I didn’t watch all of the Golden Globes (24 was on, y’all), but I was lucky enough to catch Jennifer Hudson win her award. And I cried for her like I knew I would. I am so proud of her – she looked beautiful, her makeup was bangin’, and she was poised and funny but…
Are Things Really This Bad?
I read this bit of gossip over at The Scoop, my weekly addiction on MSNBC’s Entertainment page. (The Scoop is written by the lovely and talented Jeannette Walls, and she is one of few gossip columnists who I believe 100% of the time). An uncomfortable pairing? Does Will Smith believe that filmgoers don’t want to…
Still Dreaming
Today we celebrate the 21st anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and we pay homage to the civil rights leader who came to ultimately symbolize the movement. 44 years after his most riveting and famous speech, and how much has actually changed? “But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free….
