I wasn't really bothered by his statement about discovering Black girls. Isn't that just fashion-world-speak? It's similar to, "She is my muse" or "I discovered her". Those fashion gods are all a bit pompous and ridiculous but at least he has names to back up his claim. Joan Smalls has an excellent resume and is…

Yeah, it was great. All of the actors are so talented. The scene with Rue's district was so powerful. A catalyst for things to come. I love Jennifer Lawrence.

Exactly. There is often a very strict older Black Christian culture that can be extremely rigid and critical when the "youngins" don't conform to certain beauty standards. My older aunts still frown when I wear my natural hair and fawn over me like baby Jesus when I straighten my hair.

I have been a fan forever since "28 days later" and "Ninja assassin". She is an extremely versatile actress.

Thank you "some lady on the internet". You are very kind and just made my day!

I actually LOL at this. Not sure about every shade of brown but my DH hates it when I wear brown. For some reason it's my go to color when I'm in a hurry. He says it washes me out. However, I get so much attention and plenty of compliments in bold bright colors, especially yellow & blue. JHud and I have a similar skin…

I, too, have vomited in a parking lot and on my friends carpet in her dorm. Total embarrassment there. Mark-Rapey Patterson sounds completely unhinged and dangerous.

I just had a vision of Mindy's hipster preacher boyfriend from the Mindy project. He was a cutie and not presented negatively for the most part, but he is the face I now see when I think of Chripsters. Patent it!

I really want to see 12 years a Slave. I'd like to read the book first, which I've heard is awesome. However, I'm finding it difficult to begin. I think I'm being a coward because I know it wall cause a lot of tears and soul searching. Maybe I'll wait until next month.

Well, it's about time that De Beers finally profits from their completely honest and conflict-free diamond mining. I'm sure South Africans will flourish with the incoming cash flow.

Much love and respect to All My Children.

So I just finished reading "Why I Make Terrible Decisions, or, poverty thoughts" by http://killermartinis.kinja.com/ followed by this post. I'm completely disheartened by the waste and cluelessness of the upper class. Who really buys this crap? It just boggles my mind. Hermes is the utmost in luxury which is ironic…

I noticed that too. She probably had some amazing stories about old Hollywood arseholes.

I've never watched Nashville. However, I can assume the casting call was "Only Beautiful People need apply". The entire cast looks like models. Chaley Rose is gorgeous.

Make an apt with an RE ASAP. Your story is so familiar to me. I could have posted pretty much everything you wrote several years ago. You have so many options and there is hope! I had 2 miscarriages and it was completely devastating. I also had a terrible Gyno at the time. I dumped that loser and found a wonderful…

Finding a good specialist is hard but worth it. I completely understand what you mean about being a fish out of water. However, you have to shop around for a good clinic.

When I was researching IVF back in '09 & '10 this statistic was the complete opposite. I cannot find the study now (an American study) but it concluded that women of African ethnicity were more likely to have a successful experience up to the age of 40 as compared to the rest of the study participants. I haven't…

It's nice to get see the real person right at the start of their fame. The PR machine didn't have enough time to dilute her personality before her song blew up. She's young, real and talented. I hope the Hollyweird gremlins don't gobble her up.

In their defense, Robin's song sounds like it was copied and pasted with new lyrics. I listened to both versions and was surprised by the extent of the similarities.
