“Now girl step up to this, one simple kiss, and it’s over miss.” – Big Daddy Kane, “Smooth Operator” It really was a helluva day yesterday, folks. There was Herman Cain’s fourth accuser coming out; Dr. Conrad Murray’s verdict; the Penn State pedophile; hell, all we needed was O.J. Simpson’s jailhouse confession to killing Nicole, [...]

This topic has so many taboos that even I, Queen of the Non-Taboo, clutches her pearls while poaching this subject. After all, women and men have been conditioned by religion and our male dominated society to all but ignore the subject. The resulting ignorance and old world Victorian morals causes us all to disregard something [...]

Are Women more Emotionally Intelligent than Men? Emotional intelligence (EQ) has been defined as the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and actions. It is often assumed that women are more emotionally intelligent than men. This fallacy (myth) [...]

Folks were up in arms with two women yesterday . First Kim Kardashian decides to throw in the towel and file for divorce and then Ann Coulter decides to go on air and exclaim  and I quote “ Our blacks are better than THEIR blacks”.  Wait for it because the ire against both is totally [...]

So, did you know there’s a 5-year-old girl missing in America? Did you know she’s been missing for three weeks? If you didn’t, don’t feel bad because it’s not your fault. You see, 5-year-old Jhessye Shockley is Black; and, as expected, there’s very little media coverage of her disappearance. Yes I know you’re probably tired [...]

Wiki says: Emetophilia is a paraphilia in which an individual is aroused by vomiting or observing others vomit. When emetophiles put emetophilia into practice by actually vomiting, especially on a partner, it is called a Roman shower, after the commonly-supposed (but mistaken) belief in the frequent induction of vomiting at Roman feasts. Some emetophiles find the act of vomiting arousing; for them, [...]

I’d love to take this opportunity to discuss SlutWalk and the dual (and often dueling) marginalization faced by Black women in any mainstream movement. I know that, as usual, I’m fashionably late to the party, because careful consideration is very typical of my type-A personality. SlutWalk, like many other movements grew exponentially and the original [...]

Last Friday, 34-year-old Zurana Horton’s instincts prompted her to throw herself on top of a group of children in front of a Brownsville public school and shield them from gunfire coming from a rooftop.  As a result, Zurana was fatally shot in the head… dying instantly. Later, 18-year-old Andrew Lopez (who was arrested along with [...]

I’m not sure if this situation is widely known, or just how many folks are aware.  However, it woukd appear that there’s a serial rapist targeting Black women. More specifically, it appears he has a thing for members of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority in the Dallas, TX. area. Now the fact that this story [...]

I am one of ‘those people’.….you know the type. When beliggerent little brown folks scatter about and behave a bit extra I can’t help but to turn my nose up. Now, please believe, I am not one sided with my side-eye, I’ll quickly funk face a rude, loud White woman as quickly as I will check [...]

I recently wrote about seemingly lackluster (read: nonexistent) information about Black pin up models from the 1950′s… here and here. A collector, historian, and publisher by the name of Jim Linderman contacted me and divulged that he’d written and self-published a book detailing the life and experiences of Black pin up and porn models. He’d amassed an impressive [...]
