I’m Going Going, Back Back to Blogging While Brown
My peoples! Today, I’m leaving for Philadelphia to attend the Blogging While Brown Conference for the 4th year in a row. I’m a veteran at this point! BWB is one conference I have made sure not to miss in the past 4 years because it’s so awesome. It’s remained small so it can stay personable, [...]
Spirit Airlines is the Four Loko of the Airline Industry
There have been few times when I fly and swear off an airline. One of those times is when I flew Spirit Airlines a couple of years ago. I don’t know how broke I was or if I was in dire straits, but the price of the ticket is what got me. I think I [...]
Imitation is NOT the Sincerest Form of Flattery
I’m annoyed and a bit pissed because Complex Magazine had a post on their site called “50 Funny Spelling Mistakes on Twitter.” Sound familiar to you? That’s because I have a website dedicated to catching the grammatically-challenged and overall foolish that happens on Twitter. It’s called DumbestTweets.com, and it’s over a year old. Also, I created [...]
Dear Usher and Tameka, Please Tuck In Your Petty
I wasn’t following the Raymond vs. Raymond divorce proceedings closely at all until this weekend. All I knew was that Usher and Tameka were in court fighting for custody of the 2 sons they have together. Tameka wants full custody because she says URSHA is a bad dad, and he’s not giving up that easy. [...]
Anderson Cooper Told the Human Barbie “Nawl. You Gotta Go.”
I think Anderson Cooper’s adorabo and he seems like a really nice dude. He’s my 2nd favorite silver fox, after Ralph Lauren. Whenever he interviews guests, he usually makes them feel at home and you feel like you’re talking to your really cute friend with great listening skills. But ummm not the other day. This [...]
Blah to the 2012 Billboard Awards
Last night was the Billboard Music Awards and I spent 3 hours of my GOOD life watching it and hoping it’d get better. But it mostly stayed boring. Like @__Klover said, they coulda basically kept the entire show. It was that boring. Below are some of my thoughts on the show: I’m currently pissed off [...]
Top THAT! The 80′s Were Awesomely Lame
The 80′s is one of those decades that is just RIPE for roast. A lot of what happened in that decade was just made for guffawing and the video below is nothing different. Watch this and see: “TOP THAT!” Yo. LMAOOOO!!! My throat hurts from the cackles that escape it anytime I watch this video. [...]
Why Tami Roman Was Victim of Twitter Draggage
Last night was an episode of Basketball Wives, the show folks love to hate but can’t help but watch. I watch it because it’s hard to look away and because I have a column where I recap it on Ebony Magazine digital. And because I’m a fan of foolery. So on this most recent episode, [...]
Disney Loves Single Parenthood and Princesses Who Make Piss Poor Decisions
I am a Disney fan, and I grew up watching all the cartoons like so many others did. Disney is basically an institution that’s wrapped all up through my childhood memories but when one thinks about their movies, you’ll realize that they aren’t all honky dory. Disney movies are ALWAYS about some major loss of [...]
What Happened to Lisa Turtle???
I was minding my own business yesterday when I saw BuzzFeed’s post about Lark Voorhies, aka Lisa Turtle from “Saved by the Bell.” I wasn’t ready for what was waiting for me. O___O I don’t understand. No really. Someone explain to me what happened to this once beautiful lady with smooth chocolate skin and a [...]
Dear Bristol Palin, Criticizing the President? Girl SHUT UP
I’ve been overdue for a sternly-worded letter, and there’s so much foolery in the world that this one could have been written to a plethora of people who don’t know how to act, or did the most with the least. However, the lucky winner is Bristol Palin. She had the nerve to criticize President Obama‘s [...]
My Ode to Angela Nissel: Funny Lady Spotlight
As a budding female humorist, with a dream of going really far with this, I have to pay homage to those who came before me. I must give props to the ladies who crap on the premise that women aren’t funny unless we’re making fun of bad decisions we make involving men or our times [...]
Louis XIII Liquor Costs HOW MUCH?
I walked into this DOPE Walgreens they just opened on State Street here in Chicago, and got my LIFE. First of all, the Walgreens is 2 floors, and they got everything! They even have a sushi bar (where the chef makes it for you to order) and a fro-yo spot where you can get flavors [...]
