Sugar walls!

A similar thing happened to me when I was living in the LBC. I was in a tiny studio apt with the jankiest front door lock ever. I woke up in the middle of the night to a strange man standing over my TV still lit up with a DVD menu from the movie I'd fallen asleep watching. I groggily asked "who the fuck are you?" (I'm…

My husband is a mountain man, and I a fancy lady through and through. Our happy medium is higher-end Mountain Man Brands like Filson, Pendelton and sometimes Duluth. They make perfectly acceptable dress up gear that appeals to the pragmatic, function before fashion, pacific northwest male. And is slick enough to get…

Did Bianca Del Rio do her makeup or what?

P.S. This quote from Zadie Smith's Speaking In Tongues really summed it up for me.
"But I haven't described Dream City. I'll try to. It is a place of many voices, where the unified singular self is an illusion. Naturally, Obama was born there. So was I. When your personal multiplicity is printed on your face, in an…

I often joke that the best gift my mother ever gave me was a white father. And she cringes when i say it but, hey, it's true. I've never been followed around a store, or racially profiled. The biracial experience is unique in that often we can move among whites, some of us even taking advantage of white privileged …

How is Prince ('s assisatnt) gonna spend all that time perfectly manicuring his beard/stache but leave those wild ass eyebrows. Looks like two caterpillars are trying to move into his eyeballs.

I was dating two boys who were both seniors, one in the port town I lived in and another in L.A., about 20 miles away. Port Town's prom just happened to be thrown in a fancy schmancy hotel in downtown LA. We (my hometown BF and 6 of our buddies) hire this total scumbag of a limo driver who does not even hesitate to…

I was half wondering why the ads in my district for Monica Wehby refer to her as a "baby doctor" rather than "pediatric surgeon" or "pediatric neurologist." Duh, of course it's because women, vaginas, and emotions.

I squeeze him out of me and jump up and run to the bathroom, my sister is on strait up broke record baby mode; "pull what out, Brianna? pull what out?" And that's when I hear my mom's station wagon pull into the driveway. Ashy butt homeboy is blissed out laying in a pool of pink jizz (which was FUN to explain on…

I'm about 14 or 15 and after many misfires I'm about to get that cherry busted to all hell. Me and my boyfriend have secured my house, my parentals are at work, my kid sister is safely with the grandparents. So homeboy and I get all types of teenage naked, post up on my sweet daybed and assumed the missionary…

I'll jump on the Sorel bandwagon, Sorel's Tivoli collection is as at home on the snowy mountaintop as it is in a hip hop video. I wear the candy apple red pair from the 2011 collection year round, (I live in Portland and year round bootery is pretty much required) but these black glitter jams are Mariah Carey grade…
