Can’t Get Right: Kim Kardashian Maternity Edition
It seems ever since Kim Kardashian got pregnant, her fashion sense has taken a dive. I heard that pregnancy can affect the senses, but dang! Her new maternity style is making her look more pregnant than she actually is, and her attempt to wear regular clothes rather than maternity clothes makes her look like a … Continue reading
Teams Aren’t Just For Men Anymore
While engaging in salon chat, as women usually do (heck, you’re there for half the day), one of the more mature stylists said that every woman should have a team, also known as a gaggle. A team is basically a harem of men that satisfy one’s various needs and desires. I was surprised to hear … Continue reading
Are College Rankings Relevant?
I could care less about rankings because, at the collegiate level, much of what makes a school “good” is its ranking (or more specifically its reputation) which has little to do with the level of intelligence of its students and faculty, or unique teaching methods which could possibly give its students a competitive edge. If … Continue reading
My Issues with Fighting the Gay Fight
For the most part, I’ve remained silent on the issue of gay marriage and Prop 8 due to the rift I have seen it cause between Facebook friends, real friends and families who share differing views and opinions about the subject, most of whom aren’t even gay themselves. I watched Chick-fil-A strive to maintain their … Continue reading
The YOLO Generation
Are mantras like “you only live once” and songs that suggest “partying like you’re going to die young” healthy ways of viewing our time here on earth? I have recently dubbed millennials, the YOLO Generation, because their leaders, Drake and Lil Wayne, have adopted a lifestyle which seems to shun common sense and praise irresponsibility. … Continue reading
Married with Friends

Once he learned that I was apart of the group he gathered therewith, he couldn’t decide whether to hug me, tell me his name, shake or simply stand to acknowledge the entrance of a … Continue reading
Single Mom, Gay Dad
If you asked most people whether having a mother and a father in the home is essential to raising a happy, well-adjusted child, most would agree that it is. Rom coms like Baby Mama (2008) and The Backup Plan (2010) explore the plight of the single woman who is ready for marriage and children, but … Continue reading
Why I Didn’t Bother Watching “Life Is But A Dream”
…or Beyonce’s interview on Oprah’s Next Chapter. The reviews are in, and according to critics, both are as cursory as I thought they would be. Beyonce is fake. I can proclaim this without being dubbed a hater because everyone knows (including the Lord) I used (emphasis on “used”) to be a HUGE Beyonce fan. However, I am … Continue reading

But, I jumped at the chance to personally interview one of my favorite comedians, Mr. J Anthony Brown about all things funny. Brown is making major moves as a co-host on the highly acclaimed, Tom Joyner Morning … Continue reading
30′s Dating and Romantic Inquiries Application
Don’t you wish you could cut through all the red tape, and ask the questions that really matter when it comes to finding out more about a potential mate? It’s sad that it has come to this, but wouldn’t it be great if we didn’t have to rely on uninformative Google, Facebook and background searches … Continue reading
