We did the same thing, roles reversed. It was my “single girl, I got my fair share of dong” mattress. My poor house guests....

As a black woman, I had “The Talk” many times and it ALWAYS included the phrase “Do what you have to do to get home alive.” It diminishes your sense of self just a little each time you have to shuck and jive to survive a “routine” traffic stop. What happened to Sandra Bland is a stark reminder of what happens when we…

Already the vultures/trolls on other sites are descending blaming Sandra for being “mouthy” and failing to just blindly following the officer’s orders. Again, this just reinforces the notion that police officers are to be feared and their commands, whether lawful or not, are to be blindly followed without question. I…

What, no mention of Klorane???

What, no mention of Klorane???

I have been salivating over those ringlets. Chick will definitely still have a job as an “ethnic” hairstylist after this ish. Con artist or not, girl can do some hair!

Seriously, I have had several white and Asian African American Studies professors and adjuncts. They were teaching. I mean, to bar other ethnicities from studying or teaching a topic implies that African American Studies is solely for black/African Americans. Is Asian Studies solely for Asians? Or Art History only for…

While I am by no means enamored with this couple, I must note that a ton of registries will give you an after wedding a discount (10% - 20%) on any item on your registry that was not purchased by a guest. This discount doesn’t go away even if the item is on sale. Mr. Airam79 and I registered for things we wanted to…

Just wanted to drop in to say your Kinja username is FIRE!!!!

All hail the pears! I am stealing everything noted in your wardrobe.

SLAAAAAYYY, Fan Bingbing, SLAAAAAAY!!

The Shade in that scene between Margaery and Cersei was EPIC!

Damn he is so fine.

Whenever there is a Kardashian post on this site, I really can’t relate to the vitriol. To everyone who insists that her ass is fake — newflash she isn’t as “big” as you think she is. A big booty doesn’t make you huge. And, um, the likelihood of it being the result of implants or injections? Not as high as you think.…

I met Mr. Airam79 in a sort of arranged, quasi-internet courtship. We were given each other’s email and phone numbers by a mutual friend. We progressed from email, to texting to phone calls over the course of 5 months, didn’t meet IRL until 1 month after our first phone call. The first date was literally “it” for me —…

I say all the time that Celestina Ann Beyince-Knowles is the ORIGINAL hottest chick in the game! She is a BAMF!

Incidentally, the same Tamoxifen that they are trying to market with Phentermine or with Wellbutrin as a weight-loss drug. So there is real legitimacy to her claims. Not that we need them to be legitimized. Whether she has an ED or not (I really don’t know), the people calling her hella skinny, etc. in response to HER…

I love how in almost every interview Bryshere makes it clear that 1. Hakeem is immature and/or an idiot and 2. He is NOTHING like Hakeem. That said, I still need a link to his clothing line that is selling "Drip Drop" t-shirts. My Google searches keep on getting the weirdest/most disturbing results. Jezzies,…

When I heard like the first bars, I was like, "Awwwwww shit!" Seriously, it may supplant Nikki Minaj's "Want Some More" as my "re-blackification" song (i.e. the hood, trap musik I listen to on my commute home to help me deal with working in white corporate America).

I totally agree with you. That said, Beyond the Lights was a TERRIBLE movie.

Eyebrows on fleek! Get, it chica! Now to scurry off and swagger jack your entire beauty routine....
