Which of these would work best for natural african-american hair?

Oh, the fun doesn’t stop there, folks! Word on the street is that the KKK is comin’ to town next weekend! I hope they wear their sheets for the cameras so everyone can see what their ‘heritage’ really means.

So psyched for them but rather disappointed I can’t find a USWNT shirt in anything over size xl (women’s — I don’t wanna wear a men’s shirt!). *sigh*

I can’t even watch that wannabe try to exploit those people for political gain with crocodile tears and the inevitable call for ‘peace’ or whatever the fuck they’ll trot out this time. Fuck her and her republican bretheren; the only thing they are upset about is Jeb cancelling his charleston trip. They can all go…

That WAISTCOAT. And I love everything else about this video.

‘where the rubber meets the road’... there’s a fetish in there somewhere.

Ugh. that scene lasted about 10 minutes longer than it should have. Yes. We get it. she’s naked.

I remember seeing that image for the first time and being shocked at seeing a body that looked almost exactly like mine somewhere other than in a mirror.

uh, that one wasn’t Tiana...

I’m 40 and on a daily basis am shocked by the image of a middle-aged woman in the mirror. I’ve tossed out all but my utlitarian lingerie, and anything to do with sex I’ve either comparmentalized or let slip away as well. It makes me sad, but I understand that’s sort of what happens when you are no longer seen as…

doubly so if you are sized out of the ‘regular’ market. Trying to find ‘ethical’ clothing — or even locally made clothing (unless maybe if you’re in NYC?) is nigh impossible over size 12/14.

Yes! the trifecta! I remember speaking to an incredibly attractive gent at our office one day, and realizing that 10 years ago, I’d have been too petrified by shame to even talk to him, much less hold a conversation. Sad as it is, there is a kind of freedom in being ugly.

Being of my age, race, and weight, I was — and am — *acutely* aware of how fortunate I was to even find a mate. “Nobody’s perfect” I told my friends who expressed surprise at my choice. What I meant was “The men I’m interested in are out of my league and uninterested in a plain, overweight black woman, no matter how…

Lady here, honestly, around the same time. Incredibly inconvenient.

YES. Living Colour!! Wish they’d gotten the chance to be as big as they should have.

YES. Sanaa+Simon in that nail polish scene? Lord. And I always wished Van Hunt would’ve had a better career — “Seconds of Pleasure” is one of my favorite songs, still.

Check out Erika Lust/Lust films, while you’re at it. Some very well-done work there, just as easy to watch with a partner as alone.

Like the aesthetic; pity they don’t make plus sizes. Oh well — back to Mango for me!
