Whose Head is This? I Have Many Questions
I was doing what I does when I does it (read: nothing) when I stumbled upon the picture below. I blame Thembi for this. No that is not a mannequin. That is a grown man with tattooed cornrows. *blinks twice* I have many questions and not enough answers. Is this …
Why I Love Adele: Her Voice and Soul
My love affair with Adele began later than everyone else’s because, well, I’m always tardy for the party. First time I saw her was at some awards show last year singing “Chasing Pavements.” I was all “Who is this? She’s kinda tight.” But she fell off my radar for a …
Red Velvet Onion Rings. Yes, Jesus Loves Me.
As some of you are aware, I am obsessed with all things rice and red velvet. Last year when I found out about the existence of RED VELVET FRIED CHICKEN (yes, I hollered when I typed that), I did all types of drops and twirls. And started a mission to …
Whose Birthday Cake is This?
I found my newest guilty pleasure in the website NoWayGirl.com. It is NOTHING but epic foolery in picture form. I came across one of their pictures and my side-eye was so strong my eyes hurt afterwards. Wait a minute. Wait a GAHTDAMB minute. IS that a cake with pistols, shotguns, …

Come Hang With Me In DC and Chicago
So in the next week, I’m gonna be kicking it and I want to meet some of my readers. TWO locales, TWO chances to see the fool person behind the cartoon. I’m currently in DC for the Nonprofit Technology Conference. *cartwheels on Pennsylvania Avenue* *does the wop on the Washington …
The Chicken Crossed the Road and Died. MIND = BLOWN
The old age question of “Why did the chicken cross the road?” means something so new to me now. So I was loitering in Tumblr when I came across: At first, I was all “I still don’t get it.” But that’s because I’m slow. So Bassey explained to me. and …
I’m Rocking the Red Pump Today for NWGHAAD
I’m rocking some fierce red pumps today because it’s National Women & Girls’ HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NWGHAAD). 2 years ago, I and Karyn of The Fab Giver launched The Red Pump Project to fuse fashion with HIV/AIDS. We asked bloggers to “Rock the Red Pump” and for people everywhere to …
Happy Birthday, Afrobella!
Today is a glorious day! It’s Afrobella‘s birthday!!! Yes, THAT Afrobella. The one whose hair precedes her. The one who folks call the Godmother of Brown Beauty Blogging. She was doing it before people blogged for the freebies (because there were none back then). She’s the reason a lot of …
