What I Wore to the ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon
I don’t go to crazy fancy events often but when I do, I like to step out and be Gone with the Wind Fabulous. It was like deja vu because two years ago, I was in LA for the ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon (and the Oscars) with my …
The U.S. Olympics Team is Gonna Win the Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest
As if the upcoming 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics weren’t already steeped in ugliness from Russia’s terrible anti-gay laws. AS IF. All that madness wasn’t enough. The U.S. Olympics team is adding to the ugly with their uniforms, designed by the Silver Fox, Ralph Lauren. WUT?!? I mean what in the …
The Aphrodisiac Onesie: Throwback Thursday
It’s a new year but I want to look back at old times. Mainly because their fashions were so laughable. Although I’m pretty sure that 20 years in the future, the favor will be returned as our kids roast us for our ALPHETS. Years ago, I stumbled upon this gem …
Dear Peggy Noland, About That Naked Oprah Dress… NO MA’AM!
I came across a link on The Cut about artist Peggy Noland’s newest project, “Oprah: Skinny, Naked, and Screaming on Your Dress.” THE HELL, BRO?!? So I’m here to write Peggy a sternly-worded letter because my spirit is IRKED! Look at the dress and see why I’m pissed: Dear Peggy …

NSYNC’s Shiny Suits and Lycra Shirts: Throwback Thursday
Afrobella dropped a link on my Facebook wall saying that *NSYNC is reuniting for the MTV VMAs this Sunday. I may or may not have started hit a bodyroll so serious that my back hurt afterwards. I was so damb excited! I. LOVE. ASTERISK NSYNC. Notice I say LOVE, not …
Harper’s Bazaar Sabotaged Gabourey Sidibe With This Outfit
I’m glad that people are giving half of a damb about Black women in TV and movies now. We’re showing up on more mainstream covers (well Kerry Washington is), and maybe Hollywood is finally realizing how much we rock (psht). But one thing I don’t like is lazy inclusion. Harper’s …
Bromance and Onesies: Throwback Thursday
Aahhh the 70s. That decade’s fashion was as unisex as they come. Men wore cropped tops and still had women falling at their feet. In fact, Prince has made his career out of getting women to drop trou while looking like a relic from a decade where fashion was a …
