Well, I think it has something to do with Spike’s colorful commentary on Tyler’s movies. Let’s take a gander. Shall we… *popping popcorn* The long-simmering war of words between Tyler Perry and [...]

Music Monday: Billie Holiday – “Strange Fruit”

Morning Kiddies Another day. Another dollar. I was speaking to a friend last week and he made me look at him funny. Not because he looked funny, which he doesn’t, but because what he said threw me for a loop. “I’m telling you [insert my real name]. I’m gonna have him hanging like a strange [...]

Recalling the Assassination of MLK

At 6:01 p.m. on April 4, 1968, a shot rang out. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who had been standing on the balcony of his room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN, now lay sprawled on the balcony’s floor. A gaping wound covered a large portion of his jaw and neck. A great man [...]

Are They For Real???

Last weekend, I was heading out of town to DC for a few days when I stumbled upon something that affected me so greatly I almost crashed the car to get a good look at it. Way high above 6th Ave and Watts Street in SoHo, I see this… WTF is that supposed to mean? [...]

Battle of the Cross Dressers: Derek J vs Miss Lawrence

If you don’t know anything about me, I’ll let you know one thing…Lady S loves the queens. When I say “queens” I don’t mean the Marys and Elizabeths. I mean the drags and the homosexuals, honey! Now that my favorite queen show came back for a third season, my guilty pleasure is being fully satisfied. [...]

I want to share with you the funniest thing I’ve seen this week. Let me set it up for y’all…Last night, Diddy Dirty Money had an album release party via UStream.

Love, Peace, and Soul Train Awards 2010

After a long and tedious drive from Charlotte, Pookie and I decided to relax by engaging in some African-American past times. Eating chicken wings and watching Soul Train. HEY!…Don’t you dare judge us. We had a long weekend of ignorant behavior and we needed to settle down. What better way than to stuff our face [...]

It’s War! Dominican Salons vs. African-American Salons

When they say a picture is worth a 1,000 words…they were right. Looking at this picture reminds me why I chose to leave the confines of an African-American salon to the hopeful ease of a Dominican salon. You got the hairdresser on the phone yapping her mouth and occasionally burning your ear cause she is [...]
