Coming Up Next Week…
So I lied about posting about the DC debauchery I saw on my trip. I was too lazy to come up with a post in time. But soon, it shall be up. Meanwhile, next week is “Luvvie is being a Bum and not doing any Writing” Week “Guest Bloggers Week” on both this blog and [...]
Lessons from a Road Trip
In the past year, I’ve gone on 6 trips, 3 of them roadtrips. 1 to Cedar Pointe Ohio (5 hours), 1 across the country to Atlanta, then Florida (22 hours) and this is the 3rd, to DC (14 hours). I can almost consider myself an expert by now. I have definitely got a couple of [...]
Inauguration Ball was a HOOT
I was watching the Neighborhood Inauguration ball, and it was a GOOD TIME, even through the TV. The star power was ridiculous! But y’all know I got some things to say. The GREAT *My President has rhythm. Y’all saw him and Shelly (yes, we have given her a nickname) getting down *Who else was cheesing [...]
Obama Names Will Become Ratchet
There is a La’Barackhque SOMEWHERE in the near future! I just KNOWED it!
MLK Day in DC
Hey folks. After a 15 hour trip, I made it to DC on Friday night. I’ve had a BALL with my ePosse (PBG and NaturallyAlise), but we have seen some ish that has traumatized us. Some of the shenanigans I’ve witnessed while in DC would NOT make MLK proud on his day or any other. [...]
On the road again
Hey folks! I’m roadtripping to DC right now because, well, my Prez has melanin and swagger. I will be slightly missing next week as I gallivant around DC with my ePosse, PBG and NaturallyAlise.

Coldest Winter Ever
And no, I’m not referring to the most overrated piece of urban literature (I even use “literature” loosely) known to man. It’s -26 degrees (feels like it anyway) right now in the Chi. That is a screenshot I took of weather.com. Like in REAL life, not virtual. it’s reported that this is the coldest it [...]
Dry Hair Battle II
NaturallyAlise claimed victory in the first Dry Hair Battle, knocking me out w/ her Plies/Nas line. I didn’t think it would happen so soon, but here we are with Part II of the Dry Hair Battle betwixt NaturallyAlise and I. We were on Twitter being foolish and it turned into another Mane Event! This one [...]
5pm Shadows at Noon
This post originally appeared on my other blog, House of IG aka IGville. (If you dig this blog, you’ll LOVE Igville). One of the BIGGEST pet peeves of mine (aka Things that Grind my Gears) is the presence of excessive facial hair on women. This includes Ashanti (yes, the “singer”) sideburns that would make Isaac [...]
Dry Hair Battle
Me and my eSis NaturallyAlise engage in a heated hair battle on a regular basis. Actually, daily. It started one day when I called her afro crunchy, and it hasn’t ended since. Below is a battle we had on Twitter today (which we are HOOKED on. I’m @LuvvieIg and she is @NaturallyAlise). Cool Kids now [...]
I Don’t Heart New York
I hope my New York City readers don’t hate me after reading this… So as you know, I spent this past weekend in New York City. I visited every borough but Queens. Stayed in the Bronx, and did everything else in Manhattan, Harlem & Brooklyn. This was not the first time I’ve visited. I went [...]
It’s my BIRFDAY!!!
One score and four years ago, my mother brought forth on this planet, a new daughter, conceived in awesomeness and dedicated to the proposition that she shall be IG beyond means. What this means is… IT’S MY BIRFDAY!!! *pops bottles of Baileys* *does jig* *gets sprayed with money* (you know how us Naijas do). I [...]
Bonne Annee!!!
Bonne Année, blog family! I bet you ain’t know that I dabbled in French (and their cuisine. And by cuisine, I mean crepes. My love of crepes with caramel and strawberries rivals DMX’s love of handcuffs.) Damn, I got the attention span of a goldfish! Anyway, WELCOME TO THE NEW & IMPROVED Luvvie’s Random Rants, [...]
