Disney Princesses Beef on Facebook. WIN.
In the last week or so, I’ve been coming across so many posts of the beefing Disney princesses. I don’t know who the originator is, but as soon as I find out, I’ll give them credit. Either way, these are giving me EVERYTHING I need. Please pay attention to how ratchet Mulan is. LMAOOO at [...]
I’m Teaching a Twitter 201 Class at StoryStudio Chicago
My peoples! I already mentioned before how I really want to be teaching more social media classes online and in-person. I do them at conferences and I also do them for clients 1-on-1 but my goal is to start doing monthly (or ideally 2 per month) group classes on various social media and blogging topics. [...]
10 Extra Thoughts About Love and Hip Hop Atlanta

If you haven’t, then getchu a piece and come back here for the extras. This is my version of the “behind the scenes.” I have more thoughts about the episode [...]
iCan’t With Tyrese’s Father’s Day Poem. Nawl.
Oh Tyrese. I gotta start this post like this because the man just makes me hit my facepalm often. I mean, first it’s because of his love-hate relationship with the English language. He loves to hate on rules of grammar and syntax. So much so that he has his own category on DumbestTweets.com. This is [...]
Sending Love to My Oldest Reader: Mother Doretha
This blog is about to be 6 years old, and it’s definitely grown in reach since way back when I was still on Blogspot. Back when it was called “Luvvie’s Random Rants” and looked like a cave. Well, one of the people who’s been with me all along is Mother Doretha Jackson from Mississippi. She’s [...]
Adidas is Tryna Shackle Our Feet. NAWL.
I came across these gym shoes (as we like to say in Chicago) or sneakers, as the rest of y’all call ‘em. The name of these shoes is actually the Jeremy Scott x adidas Roundhouse Mid “Handcuffs.” *blinks slowly* These shoes really got some plastic shackles. FAH WHY??? What is the point? Why would I [...]
This is Post 667
So I was looking at my site’s dashboard and I realized the last post I published was post #666 and I didn’t like that ONE BIT. So here’s post 667. For no reason. Because I’m not here for that other number. *throws holy water* *sits around eating chicken* *sips simply orange* Yeah I ain’t want [...]
Life’s Wops of Glory Announcements
Honestly, 2012 has been an EPIC year for me and it isn’t even half over. God has been doing the wop of glory in my life this year and I’m ever so thankful for His blessings. Every opportunity I’ve received has felt like a holy shove in the right direction and I am beyond ecstatic [...]
Lil Kim the Asian Mermaid Steps Out
So… Lil Kim. I’m officially worried about her. Who is this strangerbish? No. Just… NAWL. I don’t understand. Where is Lil kim going dressed like a hoodrat vampire? I really wanna know the occasion where this ensemble is perfectly appropriate in the dead of almost summer. It’s not like Halloween is around the corner either, [...]
I Took New Headshots So Help Me Pick One!
Since I speak at conferences pretty often, both on social media topics and to represent The Red Pump Project, I’m asked for my headshot a lot. But the one I always use is one from January 2010. And it’s obvious that it’s old because my locs are still 1-inch comb coils. So every time I [...]
Dear Erykah Badu, That Video? Please Go Have a Window Seat
Erykah Badu has done a duet with the group Flaming Lips, using Roberta Flack’s “First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.” And the video came out this week, and it is a total clusterf*ck. I watched all 5 minutes of it and frowned through the entire thing because it involved a naked Erykah Badu (and [...]
I Want “The Wire: The Musical” To Happen For Real
Ok so I love the TV show The Wire which is no longer on air, but arguably the best TV show ever in history of TV and all things awesome. I watched ALL 5 seasons in 1 month this year and I was hooked from episode 1. It’s EVERYTHING. Anywho, Funny or Die made a video [...]

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, [...]
