I think you need that embroidered on your shirt, honestly. :D

You know what I like about diversity in TV right now? My local newscasters are diverse. Every major news channel in my area represents the local melting pot VERY well. For years we've been that kind of city and finally we are seeing the evidence on our TV screens. Sometimes there's an all-Black broadcast team and…

I dress tough by squaring off my shoulder in whatever outfit I have on. My normal walk is sort of a scuttle-don't-look-into-my-eyes wallflower thing. When I square off my shoulders and look people head-on, that's my tough gal stance.

This post has just prevented me from buying half the things I have saved in a "Delicate Fussy Jewels" bookmark folder.

My body is so ready for LENNY. <3

It's sort of equal parts. That for better or worse stuff affects people in interesting ways. Some men and women rise to the occasion, some men or women begrudge it and make do with other companionship, some men and women jump ship upon diagnosis because they feel free now.

Get it, girl! I love me some Tom Ford (and Neiman, truly) and I am distinctly not in the right income bracket to afford it regularly. I rock out to refreshing my Black Orchid addiction 2x, instead. His perfumes are Worth It to me.

You know my pain. :P I'm growing accustomed to it and whenever a guy friend states "I can't wait to introduce you to my SO" I'm mentally preparing for the dissolution of said friendship because within a week of meeting me, all hands on deck aboard the USS Jealousy Due To Single Girl Who Is Just A Friend Cruise.

There was only one ex I was able to maintain a solid friendship with, and that was because we'd never been sexual with one another. Right now I'm dealing with a case of every ex from the last two decades reappearing to do the Walk Down Memory Lane And Booty Call phase. It's tragic and while we've been in touch over…

I am so with this. Even if it's just a plastic sword, I can't get enough of the imagery. :D

Hey now, what's more American than America On-Line? :P

I was on a state-provided women's health plan for a year before getting my own insurance through work. BC and a well woman exam was provided for free and that was an absolute relief to me. There was one month where the pill manufacturer that had a contract to provide the drug for this state agency changed a certain…

I want to time-travel back to a few years ago when I was pushing 300 and steal that skirt-bust idea so I could feel superpretty! Ugh, I lived in misshapen clothing for far too long at that weight!

I agree with you, Ricwash. Being better dressed, even for walking the mall with some applications gets you the right kind of attention. People see the distinction because every other youngblood is walking in casual but a man coming in looking groomed makes everyone take notice. You're raising that man up right. :)

This big ass smile at the end, I just love that. :D

She was just leaving room for the Holy Spirit.

:D Well, that's what she SHOULD have said.

I was able to make it to my grandmother' funeral - I'd taken care of her as her mind began a slow decaying descent and I had handfed her, bedbathed her, and eventually helped the hospice team carry her out of the house in a body bag because the halls were too narrow to pull the transport gurney through.

Relatives she'd…

And no one in the shop thought to run outside and give a commentator's welcome and announce out how hilarious they both looked writhing on the pavement like that? I mean, I get it... a moment of shock and awe but come on! How often do you get a chance to make someone's sexual gratification just plummet a hundred fold…

The raw photos posted on TMZ last night showed the unobscured lady's face screaming in fear as she was hit from behind and then the resulting lurch of her car into oncoming traffic, I'm relieved they took those photos offline.

I was all about Heaven up until 2000. I can't believe how into that scent I was as a teenager in the 90s. Teen me wouldn't know what to do with this Black Orchid stuff I dab on my pulse points now. :P
