Rockin' the Red Pump for AIDS Awareness. And fashion fierceness.

Ok, so it's not a pump, but these Birkenstocks are the only red shoes I have. You get the idea…

Today, March 10, is National Women and Girls’ HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NWGHAAD) and while it’s not my usual cause, I’m gonna talk about it. Here are the facts, directly from the CDC:

In 2007, more [...]

Taking the lid off Pandora's Box: #WetJamesFranco and celibacy

Blame it on #WetJamesFranco, an entity that I created solely to deal with my reaction to photographs from the actor James Franco’s new Gucci campaign.  One of my friends posted a link to Facebook or Twitter or something like that and I haven’t been able to stop drooling since.  Or thinking about sex.

Honesty is NOT written all over my face

Sometimes I meet my blog fans and Twitter followers in person, and they remark that my social media personality is exactly the same as my real personality.  I’m a firm believer that “what you see is what you get” should apply to people as well as to computer programming and The Flip Wilson Show.  I’m [...]

Waiting in the foxhole of love

I’ve lost the use of my heart, but I’m still alive

Y’all know Sade ain’t never lied about a broken heart, and she really nailed it with “Soldier of Love”.  All the sisters and some brothers too, understand what she’s talking about.  Love rolled over your ass like like a wooden pin over Granny’s biscuit [...]

My Polar Opposite presents: a social media relationships primer

Apparently y’all are a bunch of punk-ass bitches.  Yeah, I said it.  According to a study released this week MoCoSpace and published by TechCrunch, 48% of you idiots have actually broken up with someone via text message.  Shame on you!  And shame on the set of doofises (is that even a word?) that went out [...]

Wednesday Poll: Jail, Rehab or Psych Ward?

This poll was inspired by some Twitter conversations, some reality TV (Let’s Talk About Pep; Celebrity Rehab), and some thoughts about my personal dateability.  Also, it’s inspired by the PollDaddy plug-in and my dorky desire to test it out.  Honestly, though, I really want to know what y’all think and there could be another blog [...]

Nothing says I love you like legal services

. . .some guy whipping out his corporate seal doesn’t get me hot or give me the warm fuzzies, no matter how much of a geek I [...]

Boycotting Valentine's Day

Somebody put a fork in me because I’m done:  I am officially calling for an embargo on Valentine’s Day and all its associated shenanigans (except for the chocolate that goes on sale the day after, since I haven’t completely lost my mind).  This year, I’m not

Almost sorta counts: a cheater's story

This week, everyone I know is on a “cheetah” kick, talking about Tiger and Kobe and Shaq and all the other Black athletes who stepped out on their wives (Yeah, TW is a Black man, just ask anyone but him).  And once we start taking about some creeping men, the conversation turns to why Black [...]

To cheat, perchance, to...nope, just cheat

We’re in Day 6  of “Tiger-gate” and I’ve had enough.  He was the lead-in on the news last night.  Okay, so I was watching Fox, but still!  A celebrity cheated on his wife.  For years with various women.  Is this a shock to anyone?  With good reason, said wife took a golf club to his [...]
