Sophia Loren giving Jayne Mansfield the side eye date unknown
Treehouse, thank you all for stopping by today on very little notice. Everyone looks so lovely in their couture gowns and tuxedos. I would like to present to you the three people who have succeeded in getting a permanent side eye from yours truly, The Comeback Girl. Let it be known that The Comeback Girl HATES overused cliche urban slang, “side eye” being one, but she couldn’t think of a more befitting term for her frustration of a few people and associated things.
Let us begin shall we?
1. Irv Gotti: I spent much of the later part of 2007 writing about Deb Gotti, her husband Irv and the VH1 show that really put a human spin on the single man-married man double life most married or otherwise involved hip-hop artists (and some actors) “must” lead. It was the “player player” persona non grata that hip-hop bore out of the seemingly two faced love of status, ie, money and “ho!es”. Curiously, Irv Gotti would launch the careers of married hip-hop artists (Ja Rule, DMX etc.) who would go on to have some of THE most messiest and public entanglements with other women while pimpin’ the “single guy” image.
How To Be A Rapper 101: a) You cannot profess your love for your wife or longtime girlfriend in your music, nor can you talk about her in interviews (unless you’re retired, around 40, and your name is Rev Run) b) You must fall for the SAME hook line and sinker from the SAME types of thirsty women who don’t necessarily WANT you but LOVE the idea of being the seductress who tried to cause a commotion in your home, or b) Your groupie becomes your prey because “she’s so much different” from all the rest, including your wife. But we all know “b” just might be hip hop pixie dust because the “ideal woman” is now the overt pursuer, the seductress and “Ms. Independent”. The hip hop trifecta trickling down to a block near you.
Oh, wait its already here. Carry on.
2. Personal Trainers Who Look In Your Refrigerator When You Don’t Turn In Your Food Diary On Time: I’ve been working out with a personal trainer for three days a week in my house, getting beach body ready for the summer. In the meantime, I have been mumu-ing it up, to do my beach body unveiling in a few weeks a couple of months. I think I’m making good progress. But my trainer requires a food diary, that she has to sign off on every two weeks or so. I totally get the whole behavior modification thing. And I kiss it up to God. I really DID try to keep one for a few days and then I forgot. I mean basically I eat salad and salmon, oatmeal for breakfast and chicken with a vegetable for dinner. So why do I have to feel like I’m in the first grade turning in my homework with this portion of the regimen? So my trainer cuts the workout short when I told her I’d get it to her next week or better yet, just check out my blog that I’m going to do JUST related to “what I ate”. And she was like: “no, it has to go in your folder”. And she precedes to walk upstairs and looks in my refrigerator and cabinets. She did find some unopened girl scout cookies. But you know what? That’s just how gangster I am about my “lifestyle change”, I can look at girl scout cookies and NOT eat them. Its a jedi thin mint trick.
3. Dreadlocks On 15 year Old “Little Waynes” And Their Consenting Parents: I know that the conscious crowd likes to call them “locks”. And I respect that and will thus address that particular crown and glory to those people. But I don’t like dreadlocks on the “little Wayne crowd”. I live in a neighborhood FULL of precious middle-class “little Wayne’s” whose parents think they are too good to go to work, summer camp, or school during the summer break. “The Little Wayne” vibe is usually topped bottomed off with wife beaters, skinny jeans that fall off of narrow bony as!ses (thank God that the “Chubby Little Wayne’s” have realized that skinny straight leg jeans are not for hippy, big booty little boys. In my day, (back in the mid to late 90s) men who wore “locks” were vegetarians, they smoked “ganja”, they listened to Bob Marley, they may have even written a poem or two. They also had pretty white teeth. There was an aura to wearing locks. Now everybody and their momma outside of “the vibe” wears them. There is a check list for “lock”s; otherwise you have dreads: a) YOU MUST HAVE A TALENT (preferably a musical one, see Lalah Hathaway. b) YOU CANNOT BE CATTY or GHETTO “Urban Contemporary”c) YOU MUST KNOW THE HISTORY OF LOCKS d) YOU CAN NOT “LITTLE WAYNE” THE CHILDREN.
Your Turn Treehouse…If You Had To Give Three SideEye Awards who/what would get them?
What’s so funny is yesterday at church, the pastors message was “From a G to a Gent,” and he had a picture of Lil Wayne up on the screens and said, parents, do not allow your children to walk around looking like this. lol. Good message.
Side Eyes from Me:
1. B list singers/ actresses/ etc constantly complaining about the media invading their privacy and YET, pulling publicity stunts (ie: leaking naked pics) to gain relevancy.
2. People that go hard on gay people or are scared to death of them: Why are you that worried about what they are doing- are u trying to tell us something?
“parents, do not allow your children to walk around looking like this. lol. Good message.”
I feel uber old now, esp. when an older preacher agrees with your sentiment. THANKS SUNNY..
Lol @ # 3 cuz my lil brother is growing locks but he will be 20 this year so he gets a special award but i guarantee you he dunno jack bout no bob marley dont smoke no ying yang nor does he have any special talent actually now that im sayin this im kinda mad lol.
“I feel uber old now, esp. when an older preacher agrees with your sentiment. THANKS SUNNY..”
LMAO. Don’t Ceomback. My preacher is pretty young and known being able to speak to the young people.
“But we all know “b” just might be hip hop pixie dust because the “ideal woman” is now the overt pursuer, the seductress and “Ms. Independent”. ”
You really have something against women that go out and get theirs.
I really want Deb to leave this fool alone though. Is it really that hard to leave? bc I really don’t see it. Is it bc I don’t have kids?
“What’s so funny is yesterday at church, the pastors message was “From a G to a Gent,” and he had a picture of Lil Wayne up on the screens and said, parents, do not allow your children to walk around looking like this. lol. Good message.”
This troubles me. No disrespect but people especially some black people but a lot of weight on looking a certain way instead of being a certain way. If I meet another clean-cut, suit and tie, always fresh haircut and shave, always fly, dude that is a snake it will be too soon.
@Nicki
“I really want Deb to leave this fool alone though. Is it really that hard to leave? bc I really don’t see it. Is it bc I don’t have kids?”
I caught the part when Irv was talking to Russell. I’ve seen women do this my whole life. I give props to Irv because a woman like her wouldn’t give a dude like me another chance. But a cat like Irv? He can get away with what he does all the time.

@humble: So you think it’s good that he’s doing her like this? From her ambiance, she doesn’t seem like the most confident woman in the first place. – that could have something to do with why he is allowed to treat her like that.
“No disrespect but people especially some black people but a lot of weight on looking a certain way instead of being a certain way. ”
Me and my man were having this converstation yesterday. We were talking about his friend, who wants a new car bc her current one does not say career. I could totally understand where she is coming from- for I have been in the position. He argued that all a person needs to be worried about is their performance on the job.
But au contrare, mon fraer. Appearance means a LOT. I don’t think a man with a clean cut appearance is going to have the same opportunities in corporate America as a man rocking braids or dreds. In my previous workplace environment, this black man had to cut his dreds off in order to be a supervisor.
I’m not saying it’s right, but it simply is that way.
Side Eye:
Men over 30 who still wanna be gangsta’s. Get a legit job already.
Women who dress in clothes OBVIOUSLY too small for them. Just b/c they make it does not mean it should be put on…stop with the muffin tops please.
@Nicki
” So you think it’s good that he’s doing her like this? From her ambiance, she doesn’t seem like the most confident woman in the first place. – that could have something to do with why he is allowed to treat her like that.”
No I think he is selfish and wrong for doing it. The conversation Russell had with Irv i had a similar converstaion with a friend. Women like her deal with these type of dudes all the time. I am willing to bet she is probably no-nonsense when it comes to anything else that is insignificant. But when it comes to how she is treated by him she takes everything.
“But au contrare, mon fraer. Appearance means a LOT. I don’t think a man with a clean cut appearance is going to have the same opportunities in corporate America as a man rocking braids or dreds.

Coporate America is different. In corporate america you move up by 80% BSing and 20% actually knowing something. People place too much emphasis on appearance. People are too easily impressed by well-spoken articulate fools and a ninja that always dressed up.

I agree…and thats how I always end up with these crazy Mofos for bosses.
“People are too easily impressed by well-spoken articulate fools and a ninja that always dressed up.”
That is true.. and that’s the point I was making with him. People are not only looking at your job performance.
“I am willing to bet she is probably no-nonsense when it comes to anything else that is insignificant. But when it comes to how she is treated by him she takes everything.”
I agree. And frankly, sorry to be harsh, I am sick of her whining to him about it. Just LEAVE. lol
My SideEye goes to
Women looking for an employee and not a teammate.
Dudes looking to make money by any means other than through education.
Women thinking they are smart and sophisticated when its just the people they hang around aren’t smart or sophisticated.
Grown women with ponytails.
Men in tight pants.
Men and Women that are too extra.
People faking southern accents when they are 3rd generation northerners.
Happy Morning Everyone!
Here are a couple things I gave a “side-eye” to just this past weekend.
1. Married men who aren’t consistent with wearing their ring.
2. Women who are so self-conscious about their bodies that they won’t swim in front of others. I suppose I give a side eye because my body isn’t perfect and I will totally wear a swim suit…
3. Women who are so self-conscious that they wear long sleeves in 90 degree weather! Redic!
I shudder to think that somebody is agaonizing on whether or not to leave Irv Gotti. Especially when his treatment of her is terrible as indicated.
I wonder why these women hang on. Is it really the money?
Women looking for an employee and not a teammate.
I agree.
People faking southern accents when they are 3rd generation northerners.
People fake southern accents? I thought only southerners tried to fake up north accents.
“I shudder to think that somebody is agaonizing on whether or not to leave Irv Gotti. Especially when his treatment of her is terrible as indicated.
I wonder why these women hang on. Is it really the money?”
@Jada: For her, I think it’s a control thing… did u see the previews when she told him to get out of the house and he said, I am paying the bills here. IS she scared that without him, she’ll have to start all over? I think so.
“People fake southern accents? I thought only southerners tried to fake up north accents.”
I thought this too.
Oh….Okay Nick. I haven’t bothered to watch the show at all. Nothing about Irv Gotti (rolls eyes) interests me at all. He is beyond wacktackular.
@Jada
“I agree…and thats how I always end up with these crazy Mofos for bosses”
That’s my experience too. People promoted because they are liked not because of their managing skills.
“Lol @ # 3 cuz my lil brother is growing locks but he will be 20 this year so he gets a special award but i guarantee you he dunno jack bout no bob marley dont smoke no ying yang nor does he have any special talent actually now that im sayin this im kinda mad lol.”
@ Mikki Doodle…did you ask him why he’s doing it. If ANY of it resembles looking like everyone else..i’d have a problem.
re: Hummy’s opinion about looking VS. being a certain way.
Here is the thing about that…if you’re emulating a hip hop artist, if your pants are sagging…too me it causes you TO BE A CERTAIN WAY..ie not care about your appearance. Im sorry if I see a little boys underwear please trust he’s probably not going somewhere to get a summer job or reading a book at the library. Your outward appearance to me has a tendancy to dictate what you do, how you go about doing it etc. etc.
“Oh….Okay Nick. I haven’t bothered to watch the show at all. Nothing about Irv Gotti (rolls eyes) interests me at all. He is beyond wacktackular.”
Ain’t he???? I watched bits of it Saturday, but watching Deb was honestly too painful for me.
“You really have something against women that go out and get theirs.”
@ Hummy
I have NO problem with a woman “getting hers” in fact. I think its the woman who decides who and what she wants. In fact SHE starts the “dance”…but the OVERT approach is out of order and causes men to be docile flowers…sort of like…well you.
Side Eye Awards
* Celebrities who claim their computers were hacked when nude pics of them hit the internet
* Extra regular (code for lame) people really trying to portray something their not and being so EXTRA with it.
* Bad weaves, quick weaves, extra crispy hair, limp/stringy hair
“extra crispy hair”
So crispy, so crispy.
lol.. why are girls still wearing hard ‘dos? My friend saw a chick in the mall around Derby with fingerwaves… everything is NOT to be a throwback. lol
“I give props to Irv because a woman like her wouldn’t give a dude like me another chance. But a cat like Irv? He can get away with what he does all the time.”
What the hel!!!! this isn”t about SECOND chances. Irv has THREE CHILDREN (Angie counts as three to me) And he’s back and forth EVERYWEEKEND because he likes it like that. It gives him the opportunity to get some nookie, keep false hope alive, and feel like a man who is taking care of his family.
“I really want Deb to leave this fool alone though. Is it really that hard to leave? bc I really don’t see it. Is it bc I don’t have kids?”
@ Sunny
Irv is playing a mind game with Deb. Where is she leaving…HER HOUSE. I’ve never seen the camera cut to Irv’s bachelor pad and Deb all up in the cut. She’s in the burbs taking care of her children with Irv in and out like the burger.
“I don’t think a man with a clean cut appearance is going to have the same opportunities in corporate America as a man rocking braids or dreds. In my previous workplace environment, this black man had to cut his dreds off in order to be a supervisor.
I’m not saying it’s right, but it simply is that way.”
EXACTLY Sunny….I love dr. schols hard shoes. And I will rock them around on little errands like a mug. But do you think I’m going into a meeting talm bout…comfort and style and leg exercise.
NO..im gonna “do me” on the weekend and when I become the head chick in charge…i’ll rock what i want. but most times in the real world you have to “go along to get along”.
“Irv is playing a mind game with Deb. Where is she leaving…HER HOUSE. I’ve never seen the camera cut to Irv’s bachelor pad and Deb all up in the cut. She’s in the burbs taking care of her children with Irv in and out like the burger.”
@Comeback: that is true.. he just waltzes in and out without any abandon.. I am with Russell, he doesn’t need to be all up in through the house like that.
“3. Women who are so self-conscious that they wear long sleeves in 90 degree weather! Redic!”
@ Co..who does this?? LOL
@ Zsa
“People fake southern accents? I thought only southerners tried to fake up north accents.”
Im equally puzzled…I never heard a northern fake a southern accent before. It is possible tho to have little words or phrases you use because you were raised around country people..in the north.
@ Vroom
“quick weaves”
I’ve seen some really believable and cute QW.
“NO..im gonna “do me” on the weekend and when I become the head chick in charge…i’ll rock what i want. but most times in the real world you have to “go along to get along”.”
@Comeback: Exactly!!!! People need to realize this. U have to play the game sometimes to get ahead.
This troubles me. No disrespect but people especially some black people but a lot of weight on looking a certain way instead of being a certain way. If I meet another clean-cut, suit and tie, always fresh haircut and shave, always fly, dude that is a snake it will be too soon.
Cosign. My twists started to lock right before I cut them a while ago, but I think Im gonna let them lock next time. I dont give a damn about Lil Wayne, and if you want to put me in that box just cuz I got dreads then fu** you.
I wonder why these women hang on. Is it really the money? .
Familarity. They don’t want to start over. She probably thinks the odds are against her – she has kids by Irv, and doesn’t think another man will want to come in and fill his shoes.
“I caught the part when Irv was talking to Russell. I’ve seen women do this my whole life. I give props to Irv because a woman like her wouldn’t give a dude like me another chance. But a cat like Irv? He can get away with what he does all the time.”
True…but how do you know you cant do the same? Have you ever tried pulling an Irv?
@CBG – You always find the coolest photos. Your personal trainer is out of control with the fridge & cabinet search. Wow, now that’s serious.
@VRenee – Good call on the celebrities with nude photos. I don’t think there are real “leaks” anymore. I think that when people pose for photos or record themselves doing things, they pretty much know it’s only a matter of time before the hit the internet. Unless, photos or tapes are made without their knowledge, it’s hard to have sympathy for them.
@Humble – All ponytails? LOL.
“@ Co..who does this?? LOL”
comeback: you’d be surprised. my sis and i were mother’s day shopping on saturday and i saw a couple women wear long sleeves…and perhaps it’s because they have flappy arms…but to me comfort is WAY more important than what people may think about my arms…lol. this is texas people…just wear the dang tank top.
@ v renee – yes a side eye to bad weaves. in fact i give a side eye to people who wear weaves to the lake, on a party boat, and the like which then prevents them from swimming. black women, their hair and water definitely gets the side eye from me.
I’ve seen some really believable and cute QW. .
In D.C.? Im in Cincy so the ones I encounter are hideous 27 pieces.
“@ v renee – yes a side eye to bad weaves. in fact i give a side eye to people who wear weaves to the lake, on a party boat, and the like which then prevents them from swimming. black women, their hair and water definitely gets the side eye from me.”
LOL.. I am real sensitive about my hair and the water.
But au contrare, mon fraer. Appearance means a LOT. I don’t think a man with a clean cut appearance is going to have the same opportunities in corporate America as a man rocking braids or dreds. In my previous workplace environment, this black man had to cut his dreds off in order to be a supervisor.
I’m not saying it’s right, but it simply is that way.
It doesnt have to be your way. Many people choose to do their own, they would rather sacrifice opportunities then sacrifice themselves. At this point, if at all possible, I am done playing the role.
It is possible tho to have little words or phrases you use because you were raised around country people..in the north. .
That’s me! I’m not from the south, but mom is from Alababma and dad is from Arkansas. I learned to talk from them.
My Side Eye Awards:
1. I agree with @VRenee – celebrities with “leaked” nuded photos and/or videos.
2. People (famous & not) who have so much plastic surgery, botox, liposuction & other image altering procedures they look like completely different people. to name a few: Joan Rivers, Lil Kim, Michael Jackson.
People that go hard on gay people or are scared to death of them: Why are you that worried about what they are doing- are u trying to tell us something?
@Nicki – This is a good one too.
I can’t think of a third one right now…but I’ll post it when I do.
“Many people choose to do their own, they would rather sacrifice opportunities then sacrifice themselves. At this point, if at all possible, I am done playing the role.”
That is totally your perogative. People that are not interested in mainstream corporate employment or climbing that ladder are exempt from having to play the role.
But I cannot come up in my job or an interview with dredlocks or red weave and expect them not to look at me 10 carat crazy (and let’s not forget I am not even in a real corporate type employment).
Maybe it depends on where you live also… Kentucky is a whole ‘notha ball game. U must play if you wanna be successful.
I am real sensitive about my hair and the water. .
Haha. I feel you Sunny. I’m not getting in water with no prior plans to. But if I know I’m getting in water (i.e. vacation to beach, swim party) then I’m definitely hopping in.
“@Nicki – This is a good one too.”
Thanks Shawta’..
They showed something on the E channel about Celebrity plastic surgeries… this one guy is a hair stylist and his face no longer looks human. Let me see if I can find a picture.
@ Shawnta’ People (famous & not) who have so much plastic surgery, botox, liposuction & other image altering procedures they look like completely different people. to name a few: Joan Rivers, Lil Kim, Michael Jackson. .
Lil Kim makes me sad. Because she was sooo pretty pre-surgery. Now she’s scary. Michael – I gave up on him a long time ago.
I can’t find that pic!
“Haha. I feel you Sunny. I’m not getting in water with no prior plans to. But if I know I’m getting in water (i.e. vacation to beach, swim party) then I’m definitely hopping in.”
@coco: I agree.. that is very true. (whisper: on the other hand, I can’t swim.) lol.
Mike and Kim make me sad. They looked so nice as black people. Now they just look like freaks as 2520’s. SMH.
How was the Mother’s Day/ everyone’s weekends?
How was the Mother’s Day/ everyone’s weekends?
I got sick, again. Probably my fault though cuz I was trying to do a little too much last week. I stayed in the house drugged up, I hope today is the last of it. I did go see Star Trek though.
LOL @ Sunny. Well if you can’t swim that’s a whole nother thing.
How was the Mother’s Day/ everyone’s weekends? .
It was cool. Hung out with mama on Sudnay. Saturday I went to this thing called Paint by Numbers where we painted by numbers. Ha. It was pretty cool because the mural turned out really good.
@No: I hope you feel better. What did you think of Star Trek?
@Coco: LOL.. I am the epitome of stereotype.
@V: Was it a mural on a wall or a painting that u got to keep?
@No: I hope you feel better. What did you think of Star Trek?
Thanks. I really liked Star Trek. However, I was never really into the original, I knew who the characters were but I was unfamiliar with backstories and whatnot. So I was able to just take the film like it was. Some people who are fans of the original didnt like the movie because it broke rules and plots that they set back then.
“It doesnt have to be your way. Many people choose to do their own, they would rather sacrifice opportunities then sacrifice themselves. At this point, if at all possible, I am done playing the role.”
Playing what role exactly??? “Im going to follow a few trends and fyck everyone else”..it would be different if someone had a really eclectic sense of style and they’ev ALWAYS had it. I really sympathize with those people who still try to exude a sense of being original in a workplace.
But come on…dudes who claim..playing a role..end up playing SOMETHING following a trend like a drone. To me thats whats also sad about this..even grown folks who push this foolishness off on kids OR cosign it by not SUGGESTING they be themeselves and not follow the flavor du jour.
“Thanks. I really liked Star Trek. However, I was never really into the original, I knew who the characters were but I was unfamiliar with backstories and whatnot. ”
I was never into the original show either. The trekkies may try to boycott. lol

3. Black people who assume that if you didn’t come from a struggling background you must apologize for your success and being a member of the Lucky Sperm Club.
@Jada @ Nicki “wacktacular” and “10 carat crazy” (Asking permission to use for future reference) I usually say “craptacular”.
@Comeback
I honestly didn’t want to watch Gotti’s Way last season but I was hooked because it puts the “real” in reality television.
I don’ty care for Irv’s opinions but now I understand how men like him tick. He thinks because he is rich that there shouldn’t be any problems at home. He and Deb don’t sleep with each other, he visits on the weekend and he pays the bills so in his way of thinking everything is great. Deb initally had hope that they would get back together but now she knows they are done. She did say that her mom lived the same way and she needs to break the cycle. At least she is going to school to get an education to better herself.
Did anyone notice that Irv’s father told Deb that even though he has been married for 52 years, 3 of those years he was separated from his wife but living in the same house? I wonder was Irv in the house during that separation.
Russell telling Irv to leave cracked me up because unlike Deb, Kimora had her own thing outside of the family so Russell can’t control her but Irv can control Deb because Deb made the number one mistake that my momma warned me about-NEVER MAKE ONE ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE YOUR WHOLE LIFE…FAMILY, WORK, HOBBIES, ETC>>>
LOL. Damon, Jennifer Lopez has a huge butt too. Do u believe hers? So does some of “our” video girls.
“@Jada @ Nicki “wacktacular” and “10 carat crazy” (Asking permission to use for future reference) I usually say “craptacular”.”
@B: lol. most certainly!!!
@Damom That side eye picture was classic.
I believe kim’s butt is hers. I knew some Armenians in college and all of them had big butts. I think RayJ would have sold the story by now if it was fake.
“Im going to follow a few trends and fyck everyone else”
The thing is you dont know what that persons mindset is. What could be a trend for others could be a passion for someone else. Example, I knew someone who wore a lot of jerseys way before the early 2000’s when every rapper alive started wearing them. But when it became popular people wanted to throw him in with the trendy-jersey crowd when in reality he was always in a jersey cuz he really liked them. Was he supposed to stop or feel bad cuz everyone else got on?
The trekkies may try to boycott. lol
From what I have read they seem split, some liking the refresh of the series, and die hards upset. Im just happy it didnt suck like the Wolverine movie.
@ Nicki Was it a mural on a wall or a painting that u got to keep .
It was a mural on a wall. Well a canvas that was on the wall. I think they were moving it somewhere else.
3. Black people who assume that if you didn’t come from a struggling background you must apologize for your success and being a member of the Lucky Sperm Club.
If this ain’t some truth. No we weren’t always middle class…my parents worked hard to get where we are. And I work hard for the things I have. But Lord if I ain’t got some cousins who give me the igg face b/c they sit on their lazy @sses collecting checks from the government while I’m out here grinding for mine.
Oh and B…gwan and get ya wacktacular on dear.
I think Kim’s butt is real too. I’m telling you, I’ve seen 2520’s (and not Armanian ones either) with some nice backsides. Black people aint the only ones with butts.
@ Bgrits – NEVER MAKE ONE ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE YOUR WHOLE LIFE…FAMILY, WORK, HOBBIES, ETC>>> .
I Sooooo agree with this.
Im just happy it didnt suck like the Wolverine movie.
WHAT!? NoMo I thought the Wolverine movie was so good. I stans for Logan!
@ vrenee – Paint by numbers thing sounds pretty cool.
@ no – people need to just “do them.” i know that i dress for me…if it’s trendy it’s because i like…if it’s not, it’s because i like it. i think people care too much about what others think…and other people care too much about what everyone else is doing…hence, the side-eye.
“From what I have read they seem split, some liking the refresh of the series, and die hards upset. Im just happy it didnt suck like the Wolverine movie.”
@No: LOL. I loved the Wolverine movie!!!!! What didn’t u like about it?
“It was a mural on a wall. Well a canvas that was on the wall. I think they were moving it somewhere else.”

I’m good with being a docile flower. Women that assumed this about me always get proved wrong. I’ve been doing pretty good not chasing women.
@No More
“True…but how do you know you cant do the same? Have you ever tried pulling an Irv?”
It’s not in me to do that. That’s just taking advantage of someone.

@ Jada/bgrits- Speak on it. Both of my parents are 1 of 10 kids. They grew up in 2 bedroom houses, but d@mmit did they work. I DEF. learned a work ethic from them. It still suprises me when people don’t have a work ethic about themselves.
@Bgrits: That’s what I think of every time I use/hear the term “side-eye.”
Question for you: Can you expound upon this for me: “1. Insecure black women?”
I’m curious to see what you’re thoughts are.
@Nicki@Bgrits: I do believe in J-Lo’s booty, 100 Grand. It’s full, glorious and magnanimous (yes, I know that word means nothing close to what I’m trying to say. But it’s my own personal “ignant”).
Kim K’s is full of injections or something. Did you see the Ray J Tape? That can’t be real.
“NEVER MAKE ONE ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE YOUR WHOLE LIFE…FAMILY, WORK, HOBBIES, ETC>>>”
I read this. AMEN!
“Kim K’s is full of injections or something. Did you see the Ray J Tape? That can’t be real.”
@Damon: I haven’t seen the tape. lol. I think it’s hers though. Her older sister has a big butt too.
Jada & Nicki: My problem with the Wolverine movie is that I actually do know the backstory behind his character, so I suffer from the exact affliction the Star Trek diehards do. In the sense of plot and continuity, they massacred the original story of Wolverine. Also, I was expecting more action.

@No: oooooh, this was my first movie for Xmen period. That movie was crazy action packed!!!!! Dang No Mo. lol.
I still haven’t seen The Dark Knight… I tried to watch Batman Reigns this weekend so I could do them in order, but I fell asleep
@ NoMo
Yeah me and the bro was a bit confused about some things too. Can you briefly explain the backstory to me so I can see what was on point and what wasn’t.
And I’m still tryna figure out how he lost his memory again, b/c in the first X-Men movie he couldn’t remember anything about his past.
@errbody:
I hate to say this, but a white woman with a butt is not a good sign for the black woman.
I will always love black women, and desire one. But lending your best assets (only for the pun, the best assets are the minds/hearts) to a woman of another race is a scary proposition.
@ Nicki – I did. Ima send you a couple of the pics.
” will always love black women, and desire one. But lending your best assets (only for the pun, the best assets are the minds/hearts) to a woman of another race is a scary proposition.”
LMAO. Damon this was a public service announcement.
@V: Thanks!!!
“But lending your best assets (only for the pun, the best assets are the minds/hearts) to a woman of another race is a scary proposition.”
@ damon – as if black women, as a race, have control over that?? AND as if that would even keep black men from dating white women…black men date white women with flat booties too.
thanks for the advice tho.
@ CoCo
You said what I was about to.
@Humble: It’s not in me to do that. That’s just taking advantage of someone.
Thats not what I meant, but I anticipated you would think I meant it in that way cuz my original question was unclear. I know you wouldnt do that. I meant pulling an Irv moreso like, “Im setting the terms of this relationship”.
@ jade – great minds think alike that’s why.
But lending your best assets (only for the pun, the best assets are the minds/hearts) to a woman of another race is a scary proposition.”.
Never thought the azz was the best asset of us. I must’ve been wrong….
Well you completely lost me with this post…but ey, Morning Treehouse!!!
I have class every morning(Mon-Thurs) from 9-12:30 this summer so expect me to be on here gossiping with you all morning!!
Hey Tea. lol.
Morning Tea. What class are you taking?
Political Inquiry and Analysis…yada, yada, yada…the scientific study of politics basically…BORING!!!
“Political Inquiry and Analysis…yada, yada, yada…the scientific study of politics basically…BORING!!!”
Science? Politics? in one class? I would be sleeping. lol. Luckily summer classes are faster.
the scientific study of politics basically .
This actually sounds kind of interesting.
@ Nicki – I sent the pics.
The political part sounds interesting. Miss me with the Sciennce.
@V: Wow, that was paint by numbers???? I love it.
“Miss me with the Sciennce.”
LMAO. ain’t that the truth!
@ Shawnta
“@CBG – You always find the coolest photos. Your personal trainer is out of control with the fridge & cabinet search. Wow, now that’s serious.”
She is..its sort of like prison…but i realized that I wasn’t getting very far trying to work with myself LOL..i need that push you know?
I side-eye people who watch VH1 reality shows. LOL
As for the dreads thing, I hear the whole corporate America mainstream argument. And I agree. But Comeback was talking about children, and I say, let a child be a child. That is probably the one time in their life where they can wear their hair a certain way as an expression of who they are.
Hell, I had a high-top fade, with a step in it, and dyed the step auburn. Was that corporate America? No. But I was fif-freakin-teen! And yes, I wanted to look like Big Daddy Kane and all them.
So I don’t think there’s a problem with how children wear their hair… the problem is when they start getting neck tattoos and thinking a $40,000 necklace is something to aspire to. But the focus on the hair actually surprises me, especially coming from Black women.
“3. People Who Wear Shades Inside. But they never see my side-eye… it’s too dark.”
This doesn’t bother me as much anymore..i guess because people who wear sunglasses at night look more stupid and foolish.
“Hell, I had a high-top fade, with a step in it, and dyed the step auburn. Was that corporate America? No. But I was fif-freakin-teen! And yes, I wanted to look like Big Daddy Kane and all them. ”
ohhhhhh, god. lmao. U just took me back with that.
Think about this also, back then, Big Daddy Kane was NOTHING like Lil Wayne.
@coco: I’m clearly being facetious. I know why black men want white men: because stereotypically they think they’re easier.
White women can be just as unforgiving and unrelenting as black women. And it’s a different type of annoying, one that can be worse than the side-eyeing and neckrolling.
Some white women are so truly ignorant that they lack tact. They say inappropriate things in front of people. Well, that’s all people in general, but you get my point.
But a black man can find an easy black woman if that’s what he wants. It’s just gonna take you a little bit of time …
“I’ve been doing pretty good not chasing women.”
@ Hummy
Im sure you are…see “what hip hop has done to romance” exhibit A LOL..
LOL @ Sunny…yes mam, right now it’s pretty boring…when we get into the statistics part I’ll be all there…but right now all I hear is wah, wah, wah, wah.
I can do twice/wk for 6 weeks though…Tomorrow, US Supreme Court…zzzzzzzzz.
@No More
“The thing is you dont know what that persons mindset is. What could be a trend for others could be a passion for someone else. Example, I knew someone who wore a lot of jerseys way before the early 2000’s when every rapper alive started wearing them. But when it became popular people wanted to throw him in with the trendy-jersey crowd when in reality he was always in a jersey cuz he really liked them. Was he supposed to stop or feel bad cuz everyone else got on?”
This is what happened to me and sweaters. I was wearing sweaters before this whole grown and sexy BS. Now when I wear a sweater or a polo
i’m Kanye or something. I don’t even like dressing my way now.
Yeah me and the bro was a bit confused about some things too. Can you briefly explain the backstory to me so I can see what was on point and what wasn’t.
It was quite a few things…any specific questions? The ones that stand out to me are: In the comic, Wolverine & Sabretooth were not brothers, his relationship with his woman (Silver Fox) was actually false memories implanted into his brain by Weapon X (the team that gave him adamantium), and Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) never became the crazy weirdo villain he was at the end of the movie.
Differences between comic and film is detailed here:

“Well you completely lost me with this post”
@ Tea but of course…
“But a black man can find an easy black woman if that’s what he wants. It’s just gonna take you a little bit of time …”

“Hell, I had a high-top fade, with a step in it, and dyed the step auburn”
FUNNAY!
@offdwall
You were right about Nas and Kelis. I saw a still from the video. I feel sorry for that man. As a man that is like one of your worst fears.
Sunny, to be honest…yeah…but nothing I can’t handle…there’s a lot of empirical verification and analysis…but ey it’s only 6 weeks.
“She did say that her mom lived the same way and she needs to break the cycle. At least she is going to school to get an education to better herself.
Did anyone notice that Irv’s father told Deb that even though he has been married for 52 years, 3 of those years he was separated from his wife but living in the same house? I wonder was Irv in the house during that separation.
”
@ Bmoney..this part was fascinating to me. I love that she is acknowledging her role in the fiasco and the responsibility to show her children a better example of living.
I also wonder why talk shows and mainstream mags have never addressed the phenom of women who end up married to these “quasi single men”.
” I was wearing sweaters before this whole grown and sexy BS. ”
And Chachi was wearing sweaters before you on “Happy Days”
“And Chachi was wearing sweaters before you on “Happy Days””
LMAO. that was killer.
@ damon:
“I know why black men want white men”
I didn’t know that black men wanted white men?? Freudian slip?
“As for the dreads thing, I hear the whole corporate America mainstream argument. And I agree. But Comeback was talking about children, and I say, let a child be a child. That is probably the one time in their life where they can wear their hair a certain way as an expression of who they are. ”
@ Offey..Im VERY lassez faire about kids and expression. In fact Im all for it. But expression to me isn’t learning how to be a follower.
To me a parents job is to learn and cultivate whats SPECIAL and DIFFERENT about their child..not teach them how to hop on trends and look bad by doing it..particularly with their drawls showing.
additionally alot of parents are INFLUENCING this maddess…what about parents who have dreads (not locks)..you’re teaching your kid to essentially look like you? no thanks.
@Humble: Yeah, I’d heard about it but didn’t see the still. Was Kelis azz out??
“I didn’t know that black men wanted white men?? Freudian slip?
”
@ CO…LOL you are on the job today!!!
yes D..please explain this.
@offdwall
“Yeah, I’d heard about it but didn’t see the still. Was Kelis azz out??”
The still I saw was the “money shot”.
Hi Treehouse
My (fervent) side-eye goes to people who text while driving and have the gall to defend it. There was a trolley accident here on Friday due to one of the drivers texting and running a red light. I have no respect for you!
On a whole other note: I know there are some Vegas lovers in the Treehouse, and I’m trying to decide whether I should go (never been) while I’m in LA next month. Anyone care to share what they love about it? I have options, but this one I could use some help evaluating. Gracias!
@ Nicki – @V: Wow, that was paint by numbers???? I love it. .
It was pretty cool. At first I was thinking, I don’t know how this is going to turn out. The later it got and the more people were sipping, the harder it was to paint in the lines. But it came out really sweet. The sketch was of this chick I went to high school with who won a gold at the Olympics.
let a child be a child. That is probably the one time in their life where they can wear their hair a certain way as an expression of who they are. .
I kind of agree with this. I went to a baseball game with coworkers one time and a 2520 little boy had a mohawk. His daddy was like we figured this was the best time to let him do it….no school pictures coming up and he really wanted one. We figured now would be best.
@ Damon Some white women are so truly ignorant that they lack tact. They say inappropriate things in front of people. Well, that’s all people in general, but you get my point. .
I think 2520’s as a whole lack couth.
@Damon: That side eye photo IS the best. That little girl is SERIOUS. Fierce. I agree w/the parents who smoke or let others smoke around their children. Good one.
“I know there are some Vegas lovers in the Treehouse, and I’m trying to decide whether I should go (never been) while I’m in LA next month. Anyone care to share what they love about it? I have options, but this one I could use some help evaluating. Gracias!”
@ TaTa..I think L Boogie just went like a few weeks ago…she can share..
“I think 2520’s as a whole lack couth.”
are you serious? in what way?
“But it came out really sweet. The sketch was of this chick I went to high school with who won a gold at the Olympics.”
@V: wow, yaw did that enebriated??? Good job! I would have never guessed.
You were right about Nas and Kelis. I saw a still from the video. I feel sorry for that man. As a man that is like one of your worst fears .
Ummmm inquiring minds (aka ME) want to know where this still can be found. Apparently D-Towns finest (Hoopz) has a sex tape out too.
@Tatica
I was in Vegas in March. You should go. You’ll have a good time.
additionally alot of parents are INFLUENCING this maddness
@Comeback: This is a gray area. I mean, we expect parents to teach kids how to behave in public, etc, but then ridicule them when they teach them how to wear their hair? A parent who is Muslim or Jewish teach their kids not to eat pork, is that BS for deciding an issue for a child? It’s a gray area. My take is teach your child how to be a constructive member of society… whatever that looks like. I mean, my parents influenced me to be Baptist just by raising me in their house. Is that fair? But such teachings, though I’m don’t agree with them all now, still taught me to be constructive in society.
So we have to give parents leeway with their kids. Our parents teaching us that we’re special beacause we’re Black could be called hopping on a bandwagon (Kwanzaa anyone?), or it could be an education of our people that inspires locks just like the Jamaicans or African names or the practice of Yoruba.
The still I saw was the “money shot”.
@Humble: Noooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
“I kind of agree with this. I went to a baseball game with coworkers one time and a 2520 little boy had a mohawk”
@ Vroom..i think mohawks are sort of different than dreads/locks. I mean it still takes a little individuality to rock one..And to me they can look REALLY tasteful (which of course is subjective)…but the whole dread thing COMES with an associated LOOK particularly on young boys.
Im sorry its not freedom of expression for my son to walk around the neighboorhood with his underwear showing. Thats not self expression thats just plain ole lazy dressing.

@ Coco – Not really all of them, but I feel they ask/inappropiate things on the regular. And they’re NOSEY!! They refuse to pick up on cues when people don’t want to talk about personal stuff. It’s like just because you like to share your personal business doesn’t mean I do. I had to tell some last week “If I wanted you to know, I would have volunteered the information. Since I didn’t, that means I don’t want to talk about it”
“Our parents teaching us that we’re special beacause we’re Black could be called hopping on a bandwagon (Kwanzaa anyone?), or it could be an education of our people that inspires locks just like the Jamaicans or African names or the practice of Yoruba.”
@ Offey I don’t recall being told i was special BECAUSE i was black. To me thats sort of old and flawed thinking.
@ Comeback but the whole dread thing COMES with an associated LOOK particularly on young boys. .
What’s the associated look with locks on young boys? THat the little boy is smoking ganja and listening to Bob Marley??
I think it’s in part because so many people are doing it now, that locks don’t automatically generate that meaning to me. When I see people with them, my first thought isn’t they are necessarily “conscious”.
hey jazzy! good to see you…
i agree with your #1 … i have quite a few male friends in seattle that do this. it’s just not ok for you to be trying on the SAME jeans i’m trying on in the fitting room next door to me. nor is it ok for you to be wearing express editor slacks to work…lol.
did you guys hear that KFC renigged the coupon offer? lol…it was all mik’s fault.
@ Vroom..i think mohawks are sort of different than dreads/locks. I mean it still takes a little individuality to rock one..And to me they can look REALLY tasteful (which of course is subjective)…but the whole dread thing COMES with an associated LOOK particularly on young boys.
This sounds like a personal issue. Maybe you have some sort of stigma?
“did you guys hear that KFC renigged the coupon offer? lol…it was all mik’s fault.”
I heard that- they got slammed… I wonder why they were so ill prepared for this.. don’t they know the power the Oprah has on the world? lol

@ v i understand…but i tend to be that way…open about everything and i forget that not everyone is like that too. but on the whole i think black people are a little TOO closed up and private. i’m not saying air all your business but have some balance and have real conversation. black people have to “warm up” to people before they open up and sometimes it just doesn’t take all that.

@ Hewie “7. Grown men sagging. I’m sick of looking at drawers.”
what about 16 year olds.?
To me thats sort of old and flawed thinking.
That’s interesting, because that’s exactly how I felt about the dreads comment.
I think we both are saying the same thing though we get there differently. There is enormous value in teaching their children that they’re unique and to be individuals.
Hey Coco
Damon: “I will always love black women, and desire one. But lending your best assets (only for the pun, the best assets are the minds/hearts) to a woman of another race is a scary proposition.”
I’m trying to figure out how white women did this. After J-Lo, white people “rediscovered” big butts, and suddenly, all these white women went from flat to thick. Are they all implants? Did they simply will themselves into having junk in their trunks?
Offdwall: “Hell, I had a high-top fade, with a step in it, and dyed the step auburn. Was that corporate America? No. But I was fif-freakin-teen! And yes, I wanted to look like Big Daddy Kane and all them.”
With the auburn? That would make you more like Kwame than Kane.
“There is enormous value in teaching their children that they’re unique and to be individuals.”

@Tatica: AMEN! It happens so much here (Columbus, Ohio), they’re actually drafting a law prohibiting it. I think the fines they’re suggesting for this law if enacted are pretty hefty too. We’ll see if it is actually passed & implemented.
“I’m trying to figure out how white women did this. After J-Lo, white people “rediscovered” big butts, and suddenly, all these white women went from flat to thick. Are they all implants? Did they simply will themselves into having junk in their trunks?”
also jeans are cute nowadays to enhance the butt…so where there was none, there appears to be some.
@offdwall
“Noooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!”
Yes. It’s not even funny. That can be any one of us. From what I understand when he found out he didnt even go out in public with her. She filed to beat him to the punch. He already started on divoricing her. She tried to reconcile but he wasn’t having it.
@ Coco black people have to “warm up” to people before they open up and sometimes it just doesn’t take all that .
You hit it on the nail right there. I have to warm up to people before I tell them personal info. When people know too much about you, it can become ammunition. Especially in the workplace. I’ve seen it happen too many times.
Some people are just wayyy too free with their info. I worked with this chick who told me she thought she may be preggo. This heffa went out on lunch and got an EPT and took it when she got back to work. And told me all of this. Chick – I don’t need to know that.
cut…not cute. but the right cut is cute.
CBG: “what about 16 year olds.?”
They aren’t exempt either. There’s few things worse than being in the gym, bench pressing, then sitting up and turning your head, and you’re eye-level with some 15-year old’s butt, and there’s nothing between it and the rest of the world except their drawers.
@ NoNo Isn’t opinion personal…I mean thats what the post was about.
I meant a deeper personal issue. Like you feel personally offended by people with dreads, or someone with dreads stols your cookies or something. I dont see how you can say its not trendy to rock a mohawk (even though EVERYONE is doing it) but its a sign of being a follower if you wear dreads. Especially considering both were worn by our ancestors, as many wore mohawks during times of battle.
@ Shawnta’ – I didn’t know you were from Columbus! Columbus is like my second home (was there for over 6 years)
@ Coco furthermore…didn’t they know that free KFC + black folks = bankruptcy? .
LMAO! But oh so true!
“Some people are just wayyy too free with their info. I worked with this chick who told me she thought she may be preggo. This heffa went out on lunch and got an EPT and took it when she got back to work. And told me all of this. Chick – I don’t need to know that.”
@ v – i agree with you right there. ESPECIALLY in the workplace. but there are some ignant black chicks like that too. i can name one off the top of my head that has to share her little sexual escapades as they take place.
@Damon Question for you: Can you expound upon this for me: “1. Insecure black women?”
1. This is old news but automatically judge a sista based on skin color. For as many dark skin ” I was treated bad stories” there are just as many light-skin stories too. All of us got those stories…and to 2520s we still ninjas no matter the color.
2. Because one brotha didn’t given them what they wanted i.e. a ring, a relationship, extra cheese on a burger..then ALL BLACK MEN AIN’T S–T. I really hate when women say that in my presence. I always counter them with “Maybe you aren’t a good black woman”. It shows that you don’t have enough confidence in yourself to know that there is another brother out there for you.
3. Women who want to do certain things but don’t because they are worried about other people’s opinions especially family. If you want to move, move, go back to school, sign up for classes, sleep with dude on the second date, buy a condom. I’ve seen too many black women kill their dreams because “Big Mama said, my church wouldn’t approve, the Bible said,etc..” They don’t realize that people like to define you and when you go outside that definition, they become threatened and try to hold you down…a la Jesse and Barack.
4. Sistas who downplay their accomplishments so as not to offend family or a potential mate. I got a girlfriend in Philly who by herself, went to Howard, transferred to Temple and then got TWO advanced degrees from UPenn while working full-time and she will tell guys that she works as a bank teller to get a date. WTF???? And her extended family cracked on her for years about “being 29 with a back pack” (she is now 39). And she isn’t the only one doing this. But she wants to date so she does this. I told her to move from Philly. I love my black men but I will be d—- I will hide my accomplishments so you can feel better.
No More reminded me of an additional side eye award.
8. Mohawks.
i give KFC the side-eye for that one.
“i can name one off the top of my head that has to share her little sexual escapades as they take place.”

Big butts just became more acceptable in the white community. Before they used to try to hide them. Now they display them.
“guys that she works as a bank teller to get a date. ”

“This is old news but automatically judge a sista based on skin color. For as many dark skin ” I was treated bad stories” there are just as many light-skin stories too. All of us got those stories…and to 2520s we still ninjas no matter the color
I don’t know about this. I haven’t seen too many light-skinned people being called ugly by default.
“I’m trying to figure out how white women did this. After J-Lo, white people “rediscovered” big butts, and suddenly”
Seriously i think this whole big butt thing might be demographic..i was reading or watching something and this 35 year old 2520 was saying she went to the gym to NOT HAVE THE BADONKEY DONK…
i think the higher 2520 travel up the socio-economic ladder the more they reject the badonkey.
Black women too ..to a certain extent. I see a lot of black women in the gym doing cardio..that’s NOT badonkey donk friendly..meaning if you’re running 5 miles a day..your @zz is NOT going to look like Buffy..who admitted to gaining 70 pounds and then doing lots of crunches to get the “look”. I hate to rehash that arguement again but..
well I just did LOL..
” But she wants to date so she does this. I told her to move from Philly. I love my black men but I will be d—- I will hide my accomplishments so you can feel better.”
@ bgrits…but i don’t think the fault falls on the man for this one. no one is MAKING her dumb herself down but herself. she needs to be proud of what she’s done for herself and keep living…an awesome man will pop up when she least expects it. if she’s 39 and the bank teller thing hasn’t worked i would ditch that as it doesn’t seem to be working. and really? does a bright woman like that just want ANY man?
CBG/Bgrits: “driven women aren’t exactly whats hot in the streets…because with drive usually come the associated stuff.”
This is because some men who are looking for something serious are scared these women will put their career in front of them.
i think the higher 2520 travel up the socio-economic ladder the more they reject the badonkey. .
I agree with this one too. The higher 2520’s don’t want signs of “thickness”. Skinny is actually too fat for them.
@ C0.. the bank teller thing is a bit much..but i think ALL women dumb it down at some point and time in courtship and in a relationship.
@Hugh Jazz
“I’m trying to figure out how white women did this. After J-Lo, white people “rediscovered” big butts, and suddenly, all these white women went from flat to thick. Are they all implants? Did they simply will themselves into having junk in their trunks?”
I’m still trying to figure this out myself. I’ve seen 2520s that will give Deelishis a run for her money. Idk. It’s like in the past 3-6 years they have come out of nowhere.
“I don’t know about this. I haven’t seen too many light-skinned people being called ugly by default.”
I had loads of mess from being light. and having big lips… all that mess.
“but i don’t think the fault falls on the man for this one. no one is MAKING her dumb herself down but herself.”
Co-signage. Im tired of some women trying to use a mans reaction to justify their lack of action. Live for you, not peoples expectations of you
@ Humble I don’t know about this. I haven’t seen too many light-skinned people being called ugly by default .
They may not have been called ugly, but they also may have got the “You think you cute because you’re light skin. You aint all of that”.
I say that because my sister is light skin (with green eyes) and she used to get this all the time. Girls in school hated her.
“@ C0.. the bank teller thing is a bit much..but i think ALL women dumb it down at some point and time in courtship and in a relationship.”
true. but balance is important in everything. extremes are dangerous.
I don’t know about this. I haven’t seen too many light-skinned people being called ugly by default.
I caught hell for being LSLH…still do. People automatically judge me and think I’m stuck up. You don’t know how many times I’ve been told “You cool as hell, when I first saw you I thought you were stuck up”. Dark or Light…people are going to give you sh!t.
Humble: “I’m still trying to figure this out myself. I’ve seen 2520s that will give Deelishis a run for her money. Idk. It’s like in the past 3-6 years they have come out of nowhere.”
My “boss” at the Y is like this. It is funny to see black women walking up to a white woman asking her how great her body is and how did she get a small waist and have a huge butt.
@Bgrits: interesting responses. I promise you, you need to read TMCY tomorrow for Monica’s first letter, it dances around a lot of what you just wrote in response to my query.
@COCO: sorry for the delay …
“But a black man can find an easy black woman if that’s what he wants. It’s just gonna take you a little bit of time …”
@ damon – please define/explain/expond. grazie!
I’m saying that find an easy black woman is a little more difficult than it is to find an easy 2520 (I know what it is, but someone breakdown how you get from “white woman” to “2520,” please) …
Now, I’m not saying that it’s difficult or easy in general. I just know that one is easier than the other, and that’s why “some” black men choose to pursue 2520s.
Some of them just have more in common with them. That’s life. But I prefer black women. Call me crazy, but I tend to like women who look like me in some regard.
This is going to sound horrible on some level, but I want my kids to look like me. smh.
Kinda like I prefer someone who shares similar values. I want my kids to have values close to mine. Not some mixture that could confuses them beyond repair before they reach 10 years old. Go figure.
@V Renee & Nicki
““You think you cute because you’re light skin. You aint all of that”.
I say that because my sister is light skin (with green eyes) and she used to get this all the time. Girls in school hated her.”
“I had loads of mess from being light. and having big lips… all that mess”
This may be true but on a whole light-skinned is more accepted. With dark-skinned folks the nonsense starts early like 5 or 6 yrs old.
@Jada
“I caught hell for being LSLH…still do. People automatically judge me and think I’m stuck up. You don’t know how many times I’ve been told “You cool as hell, when I first saw you I thought you were stuck up”. Dark or Light…people are going to give you sh!t.”
I understand this. But I have met A LOT of women that were stuck-up and I think their skin-color did play a role in it. When people treat you special because your lighter you will have people like that.
re: light vs. black..
this might be the next topic banned next to sports…lol
i cant believe black folks are still having these conversations.
A. Are more black people having these conversations in the south???
B.Isn’t alot of this just residual bullshyt we got from our grandparents, etc.
@ Hummy
It does with light skinned people too. I remember being about 3 or so when my cousin started comparing whose hair was longer and who was lighter and blah blah blah. No ones experience is better or worse than another’s.
“This is going to sound horrible on some level, but I want my kids to look like me. smh.”
@ damon – a white guy told my sister that. he was interested in her but told her he could never be with her because he could have kids that didn’t look like him. smh. lol.
the reason i’m so interested is because on many levels i relation more with the 2520’s than with black people…in general. i didn’t grow up with black people at all..except when we lived in l.a. when i was younger. grew up in hawaii (asian influence) then moved to seattle (white influence) now i live in austin and for the first time, i’m discovering my “black” side if that makes any sense. but because i look black, that’s who i’m grouped with so when you say white women are easier, i just wonder what that means….and how that might pertain to me.
@CBG
People like to ignore this issue as if it doesn’t exist anymore, but it is VERY real.
“my cousin started comparing whose hair was longer and who was lighter and blah blah blah. ”
sad. there are more important things to be concerned about. the bible says (not meaning to revert back to friday’s bible study…lol.) but it advises that we not compare ourselves among ourselves because it is unwise. and that is so true. why is hair length and skin shade important?
“This may be true but on a whole light-skinned is more accepted. With dark-skinned folks the nonsense starts early like 5 or 6 yrs old.”
It’s the same effect…. bc it is coming from your own people.
“but it is VERY real.”
@ Zsa..i think its because we MAKE it real. I take the each one teach one philosophy part as we get older and have kids etc. We don’t put the emphasis on “good hair”, “bad hair”, light skinned, dark skinned, green eyes, “cute to be dark”…etc. etc.
“When people treat you special because your lighter you will have people like that.”
Call me naive, but I don’t think I’ve ever been treated special bc of my skin color… although in Hollywood, I see it happening.
@ CBG
I see what you’re saying and I’m over it. If you wanna judge me from my outside appearance…thats on you. I have no time for the ignorance. But there is always going to be someone out here telling people in general that they are not good enough b/c of xyz. Or making them feel bad for whatever feature. Unfortunately…many times it comes down to the most basic and obvious…skin color.
@bgrits: specifically to what you wrote …
RE: 1. this is too true. My mother is light-skin with the wavy hair, and got the worst of it growing up … so bad that she chopped off all of her hair in college. It goes both ways. I had some insecurity about my darkness as a teenager because I didn’t look right in front of the television camera (I wanted to be a sports anchor). That’s life. You grow up, and get over it. Just my thoughts.
2. What’s that Musiq Soulchild song? “PreviousCats” http://tinyurl.com/oawllk
3. You’re right. but that’s people in general. I say do you. Eff up. Learn from your mistakes, and know that the people who truly love you will stand behind you whether you’re right or wrong orrr you’ve screwed them over some. That’s the first thing 1 Corinthians says love is: patient/still/steadfast/long-suffering
4. This one is especially why you need to read tomorrow letter, Monica’s first. This comes right from three. Be yourself/Do you. If someone can’t meet you at your level, they don’t belong there or anywhere in your vicinity.
That works for a female, that works for a male.
Great answer to the question.

@Nicki
“It’s the same effect…. bc it is coming from your own people.”
I only had one white person say something to me directly about my skin color in my whole life. I have always got more flack from my own kind than any other race.

I was trying to figure that out at 3.
“Call me naive, but I don’t think I’ve ever been treated special bc of my skin color… although in Hollywood, I see it happening.”
I agree regarding Hollywood and Negrowood…it would be nice if Kenya Moore or Sheryl Lee Ralph got a “Milf” song…BUT I really like the sentiment..f Halle being light skinned..I think its hot for young boys to still think a 41 year old is fly.
A mean that wasn’t happening in hip hop 10 years ago. Trickle down..badonkey donk theory might have it be that older hollywood actresses WHITE OR BLACK will have longer staying power and still get coveted roles well into their 50s and 60s.
I only had one white person say something to me directly about my skin color in my whole life. I have always got more flack from my own kind than any other race.
That’s funny. I’ve been called all kinds of niggers, been BLATANTLY followed in stores. Been consistantly treated nasty and rudely with no cause. All by 2520s.
@ Zsa..i think its because we MAKE it real. .
I agree that it’s real, but I do think we in part perpetuate it. Sometimes I do want to say get over it. But having not personally experienced either side, I guess it’s unfair for me to say get over it. Although I want to at times. I just wish everyone could be happy with the skin color they were given. It’s not like it’s changing.
“I just wish everyone could be happy with the skin color they were given. It’s not like it’s changing.”
tis true. and i think all shades are beautiful. even hair texture. you just have to own it and be happy.
That’s funny. I’ve been called all kinds of niggers, been BLATANTLY followed in stores. Been consistantly treated nasty and rudely with no cause. All by 2520s. .
WOW!!!! Was this in NC?? I don’t think I’ve even been called nigger….at least not to my face. I take that back, when we would go on long trips my daddy would hook up his CB radio and get into it with truckers and other drivers. I think they called us some niggers then. Mind you this was in the south and my daddy crazy.
@ V
Don’t get me wrong…I love my skin. I love me period. And if someone has a problem with me…ah well….they’ll get it over it.
My point is that HATE comes from everywhere. People who are different and people who are not. As long as someone feels you are ‘better’ than them and are a victim of their OWN insecurities, people are gonna throw shade your way. That’s life.
This will not be solved until people stop being insecure..thus…this will go in forever.

Yes…the south ain’t no joke sometimes. I think Hummy has a different experience mainly due to his location.
@Jada
“That’s funny. I’ve been called all kinds of niggers, been BLATANTLY followed in stores. Been consistantly treated nasty and rudely with no cause. All by 2520s.”
I’ve been followed in stores before. But the off-color comments and so on i’ve never got from people.

I never made it an issue in my life. Others have. When you have people saying things like “I want my wife to look like this so my kids look this” or ” I have to engineer my kids right”. I would be lying if I said it wasn’t an issue in our community.
Yes…the south ain’t no joke sometimes. I think Hummy has a different experience mainly due to his location.
Shouldnt be…Detroit suburbs are racist as heck, especially the police.
Welp…nevermind on that theory since NoMo and Hummy are in the same place and NoMo has had the same experience.
“tis true. and i think all shades are beautiful. even hair texture. you just have to own it and be happy.”
I agree… unfortunately some kids are getting their confidence from videos and magazines, etc. and when they don’t see that they are represented, I don’t think they feel beautiful.
It’s up to us as parents, and an entire group to build our kids up.

@Coco: That sermon had me feeling a little guilty (the one about lovemaking that we listened to Friday) so me and the bf had a talk and are gonna try to refrain from s3x until we get married. LOL.. I told him we should get married in three weeks.
Thanks j!

“@Coco: That sermon had me feeling a little guilty (the one about lovemaking that we listened to Friday) so me and the bf had a talk and are gonna try to refrain from s3x until we get married. LOL.. I told him we should get married in three weeks.”
@ nic – well you know my thoughts about that. me thinks that’s awesome. and remember, God never makes us feel guilty — the Holy Spirit convicts us, in a loving way directs us. that’s why i plan on having a short engagement. but there’s grace to wait if that’s what you and the bf wanna do. are you guys serious about waiting? how does he feel about that? what are his thoughts/views?
It’s up to us as parents, and an entire group to build our kids up. .
This is true. The sad part of it, there are so many people out here who I honestly feel like should not have kids. Notice WE know the right things to do and the values we need to instill in our kids. But most of us don’t have kids. On the other hand, so many people who don’t have the right mindset to do this, have kids!
I told him we should get married in three weeks.

@coco: thanks girl. We are serious about it… it was actually his idea. He asked me and I hemmed and hawwed and he said, now we can at least try. lol. I told him I was worried about what blessings we were blocking bc we are doing wrong and we know that we are. I told him I needed him to be the strong one in this (bc my flesh is about as weak at toilet paper right now.)

What did I miss…??? half of SSO is getting engaged NOW?? LOL..
wait for MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! sike let me stop.
@Coco: Also, on the whole marriage thing, I told him I wanted to wait until we graduate.. thing, is, I don’t think I can do these 39 hours in a year. He will be done and I told him where ever he gets his career popping, I would follow and I’d just have to finish there. I’m ready to get our future started.
“What did I miss…??? half of SSO is getting engaged NOW?? LOL..”
@comeback: lol. Not yet, chica… I do NOT have a ring on it yet.
““Notice WE know the right things to do and the values we need to instill in our kids. But most of us don’t have kids. On the other hand, so many people who don’t have the right mindset to do this, have kids!””
Thats true..i overheard a conversation where somebody was talking about someone else in my family arguing over what color brown they were…cinnamon or medium brown…WTF..this is the dumb shyt you can’t blame on white people.
in the words of de la courtesy of someone on face book..and de la..”black is black” DAYUM..
“in the words of de la courtesy of someone on face book..and de la..”black is black” DAYUM..”
That is true bc KKK does not discriminate. I look at it like that. They aren’t gonna not hang me bc I am light.
“I told him I was worried about what blessings we were blocking bc we are doing wrong and we know that we are. ”
@ nic – can i just tell you that God is more concerned about your heart condition. not that He doesn’t want you to wait, God definitely does and pretty clear about it. but if i were you, i would focus first on living your life to please God in every area. pray and ask God to help you…He is able after all to do abundantly above and beyond what you ask or think. lastly, you’re not gonna be able to do this on your own. if you’re serious, i would seek out reliable accountability that you can be open and honest with. since you have toilet paper will power, when that urge comes, holding out is gonna be near impossible.
oh one more thing…set boundaries. don’t turn on the stove if you don’t plan on cooking. lol. again, these are my personal guidelines that i actually practice and they work.
@Coco “I’m trying to figure out how white women did this. After J-Lo, white people “rediscovered” big butts, and suddenly, all these white women went from flat to thick.
J-Lo was acceptable because she was Latina and she was desired by white men in the movies she acted in so ww jumped on it. Lil secret I’ll tell you…a lot of the 2520s wore minimizers for years to cover the butt (learned that back in high school) plus these white teenage girls got booty now my lil brother swears it is the hormones in chicken and milk that did it…LOL!!
“bgrits…but i don’t think the fault falls on the man for this one. no one is MAKING her dumb herself down but herself. she needs to be proud of what she’s done for herself and keep living…an awesome man will pop up when she least expects it. if she’s 39 and the bank teller thing hasn’t worked i would ditch that as it doesn’t seem to be working. and really? does a bright woman like that just want ANY man?”
You are correct that I can’t blame the men necessarily but it is a friggin epidemic now. It has been this theme running in the background among us that black women are self-sacrificial and I hate it. Plus many women put timelines on things and when the deadline gets close then they start settling. I forgot to mention that was she married before and her ex-husband told her before they got married they he would help her pay for school when she talked about UPENN. After the wedding, he reneged because he gave her the ring so she should’ve been satisfied (his words)so she got loans instead and later divorced him.
@CBG
“I also wonder why talk shows and mainstream mags have never addressed the phenom of women who end up married to these “quasi single men”.
Because then the secret would be out and some men would be at a loss. Deb’s real issue is that she want to get lovin and attention from a man and she sets a better example if she is single. Did you peep how she said Angie was born when she was 18 so she possibly met Irv when she was 20 so she doesn’t even know who she is.
Concerning the lock issue, I don’t think of Lil Wayne when I see a kid with locks. I see someone who lives in a time when you can wear them without all the extreme backlash they used to invite by wearing locks.
“@ C0.. the bank teller thing is a bit much..but i think ALL women dumb it down at some point and time in courtship and in a relationship.”
Please expand on this…I hope you mean the silly stuff like “fix my sink, blah blah”.
@VRENEE “@ Coco – Not really all of them, but I feel they ask/inappropiate things on the regular. And they’re NOSEY!! They refuse to pick up on cues when people don’t want to talk about personal stuff. ”
It is stuff held over from slavery where Ms. Ann trusted her slave more than her own family since the slave was insignificant so she told the business. I use their openess as a weapon because blackmail is bytch!!!!
@Hugh “CBG/Bgrits: “driven women aren’t exactly whats hot in the streets…because with drive usually come the associated stuff.”
This is because some men who are looking for something serious are scared these women will put their career in front of them.”
Could you please explain?
Now if you are talking about the sistas who scream ” I DON”T NEED A MAN TO BUY ME ISH…blah blah” I can see your point. But the sista who just stated her job title and the guy cowers away..that guy needs to keep it moving.
“@ nic – can i just tell you that God is more concerned about your heart condition. not that He doesn’t want you to wait, God definitely does and pretty clear about it. but if i were you, i would focus first on living your life to please God in every area. pray and ask God to help you…He is able after all to do abundantly above and beyond what you ask or think. lastly, you’re not gonna be able to do this on your own. if you’re serious, i would seek out reliable accountability that you can be open and honest with. since you have toilet paper will power, when that urge comes, holding out is gonna be near impossible.
That is true.. I have my sunday school teacher (my adopted uncle) and my girl and her husband who also did this before they got married… they were apart for a while and then got back together and he proposed immediately. From that point, no s3x.

@No: Amen…. this is why they say an ugly woman will turn you out. She has to work much harder in the bedroom to keep your nose open. A pretty girl? Sometimes being pretty is enough.

@No “LOL I’m still trying to figure out why anyone would wife this woman.

You left off that she has a big a– and she is white but not SNOW BARBIE WHITE knowhatimsayin?
@No
“Cause she has a good business sense and hustled her way from exploited to exploiter?”
Oh yeah I forgot. Just like Monique is fine, Bria Myles is fake, and a woman with a career is intimidating.
Never had [an ugly woman], but now I am intrigued. I know the crazy ones will put it on you
I have, but only because I genuinely liked her and she did the best with what she was given. Having said that, she was uninspiring. So my one experience proves the assertion to be a myth, but I have to defer to the regulars doers of ugmugs for the expert opinion.
LOL I’m still trying to figure out why anyone would wife this woman.
The dude that wifed her was Eddie Winslow! LOL If that dude makes marriage decisions like he acts, I’m surprised he didn’t marry the Planter’s Peanut Man.

Can’t front on that. The woman has a BODY.
@offdwall
“The dude that wifed her was Eddie Winslow! LOL If that dude makes marriage decisions like he acts, I’m surprised he didn’t marry the Planter’s Peanut Man.”
Word? Eddie Winslow? What is dude thinking. It must have been the movie. I saw her perform in that movie and my mouth dropped. If she did that to him I may understand just a little. But as a black man you gotta be stronger than that.
Bgrits: “This is because some men who are looking for something serious are scared these women will put their career in front of them.” Could you please explain?”
Easiest way to explain: if you saw the movie Why Did I Get Married, it’s the Tyler Perry/Sharon Leal marriage. If a woman puts becoming partner/advancing her career in front of her husband/family or having children, a lot of men will shy away. Some things are more important than money and career.
If a woman doesn’t agree, that’s fine. It just means the two of you aren’t compatible.

@Humble I’m not mad at Kim at all because I keep a pic of her for workout inspiration. Now after ate pineapple for breakfast, salad for early lunch I am craving a burger. so I will get back on the Kim K tonight when I exercise…..

Oh yeah, I do see your point if it is like that.
@CBG “Please be reminded this is a Karrine Stephans FRIENDLY BLOG..”
May I ask why?
I get her hustle but girlfriend needs serious therapy and a good agent to flip her career around. She should have written the book after she married some rich dude who was cool with her past being the past. Now no one wants her. Hanging with Eddie Winslow isn’t a career move.
Word? Eddie Winslow? What is dude thinking. It must have been the movie. I saw her perform in that movie and my mouth dropped. If she did that to him I may understand just a little. But as a black man you gotta be stronger than that. .
With Mr. Marcus? She was good, but I think her nickname made it even better than it actually was.

The Yoyo’s are cool with that. We just wish she would have made a tutorial for women of what she did to Mr. Marcus. She should have put that out there instead of that book.

@ Hewie i think this is a misconception that men step to “self-sufficient” women with. Long term if a man is the provider…he’s got to step that part of his game up..most women aren’t going to ride out on sinking ships. So thats where you come to a woman with a solid 5-10 year plan. So she can lay “her burdens” down.
Hi y’all!
I’m only 5 comments in, but I need to co-sign this —>a lot of weight on looking a certain way instead of being a certain way<— before moving on.
Well said Humble!

“@Nick Thank you Nicki for allowing me back in your circle..LOL!!!
U back with open arms!!!
Note to YOYOs- Just because you are “heavy structured” doesn’t mean that we are satisfied.”
YES… there is a such thing as TOO heavy structured in my book
I know I tend to shy away from most celebrity fanfare, but I’m way behind.
Steps to rectify the situation:
1. Google pictures of Kim K. I’ve seen her face and she’s beautiful. Never seen her from behind.
2. Google this clip of Karrine and Mr. Marcus.
“I get her hustle but girlfriend needs serious therapy and a good agent to flip her career around”
I don’t like Karrine.
@CBG After Hugh referred to the Sharon Leal character then I saw his point because some women take it too far.
@Humble “The Yoyo’s are cool with that. We just wish she would have made a tutorial for women of what she did to Mr. Marcus. She should have put that out there instead of that book.”
She would have made a lot more money and gotten more respect. I keep telling my friends that a good BJ will make man see you in his future a lot quicker…especially if your other attributes are on point….LOL!!!

I thought she was good, but not necessarily any better than other chicks on p.o.r.n. The main “difference” really with her was the hand twist. She wasn’t really taking it all the way in, she had hand coordination down….

She is the best i’ve ever seen on film. But then again I dont watch those type of movies like that so you may have a point.
I really attempted to read all the comments but I’m lazy… Lol!
My permanent side eyes go to:
*Judgemental fools… I just don’t even know how to express the contempt I have for that brand of folks… Focus on YOU! and let people leave their lives.
*People who constantly need reinforcement/reassurance from others… They work well with the judgmental set in always needing that extra nod. *rolleyes*
* Houston distances… I am just tired of driving! I demand better public transportation!!!
That is all for now.

I can agree with your sinking ship point, but many career-minded women aren’t sacrificing their career to play mommy/wife.
It’s a conundrum because those types of women want men that make what they make or more. The problem is the men that make what they make are smart enough to stay the hell away from them. They see how their prototypes act in the office, and don’t want to willingly enter nuptuals with those cutthroat-type women.
@CBG After Hugh referred to the Sharon Leal character then I saw his point because some women take it too far. .
Ima go ahead and say that’s what led to J. Annistons and Brad Pitts divorce. He wanted them and she didn’t want to put her career on hold to have them.
“fyi..momma beaver is like close to 100 now”
Ok this is funny. You need to call her something else.
I thought she was good, but not necessarily any better than other chicks on p.o.r.n. The main “difference” really with her was the hand twist. She wasn’t really taking it all the way in, she had hand coordination down….
Yeah, she wasnt one of the best, but she was pretty good.
Snitching, disrespecting yourself, and ruining lives to make a dollar is not cool.
Not at all.

Men do it everyday …except kissing and telling is NOT sntiching for men..its “locker room” talk.
Men do it everyday …except kissing and telling is NOT sntiching for men..its “locker room” talk.
When did this happen? Some guy fu**ed a bunch of female celebrities and sold the escapades in book form? Cuz talking about some broad you hit with your boys is totally different then selling a tell-all.
“Men do it everyday …except kissing and telling is NOT sntiching for men..its “locker room” talk.”
Real dudes dont do that. You know not to do that because you can ruin it for yourself and everybody else. Where do you get this from? Have you been in the locker room?
@No More
“When did this happen? Some guy fu**ed a bunch of female celebrities and sold the escapades in book form? Cuz talking about some broad you hit with your boys is totally different then selling a tell-all.”
Right. And a dude may tell his boys. Just his boys. If you aint down with him you won’t know.
No and Hummy
Listen here I didn’t just jump off the turnip truck..men RAP about their se!xual trysts ALL THE TIME…maybe they change the names, but it does happen.
And men DO talk they are chattier than alot of women i know. But they’re sentences are shorter is all.
Listen here I didn’t just jump off the turnip truck..men RAP about their se!xual trysts ALL THE TIME…maybe they change the names, but it does happen.
Which means that the only people who know are those in the know, and again, its not the same as screwing someone and then selling the details to the highest bidder. I know you like ol girl and all but lets call it like it is.
Men do it everyday …except kissing and telling is NOT sntiching for men..its “locker room” talk .
I think they’re saying that men don’t make it a point to sleep with married “celebrities” and in turn write a tell all book listing names. If men did, it would bytchazz move.

You just know cornball men. Neither me or my friends go around bragging about who they smashed. It just comes up in general conversation at times. We didnt do that whe we were younger. If a dude smashed you may not find out for months or even years later.
“its not the same as screwing someone and then selling the details to the highest bidder”
its in the same genre…some men who were outed KNEW they were going to be. She protected others. Some did nt need protection..Some needed to be outed.

Right. I dont think too many men are welcome to hordes of angry husbands targeting them.
CBG: “Listen here I didn’t just jump off the turnip truck..men RAP about their se!xual trysts ALL THE TIME…maybe they change the names, but it does happen.”
Why would any man go up to some other random man and tell him about his sexual exploits? It just isn’t done.
its in the same genre…some men who were outed KNEW they were going to be. She protected others. Some did nt need protection..Some needed to be outed.
Who the hell is she? Captain Snitch? If thats the case give me your partners info who cheats on her man so I can out her, I feel the need to spread justice
“Why would any man go up to some other random man and tell him about his sexual exploits? It just isn’t done.

Im NOT saying thats how men do it…im saying to ME they have their “tell all” equivilent.
Its just desserts..its like dude thats what your d!!ck gets for sleeping with a woman knowing your Azz was married or otherwise not single.
and the suspected down loaders..
“quasi-single” and quasi-straight men SHOULD BE exposed.
CBG: “Im NOT saying thats how men do it…im saying to ME they have their “tell all” equivilent.”
Men may talk to their boys about it, just as women do. Most people don’t do it to make a buck and ruin other people’s reputation in the process. Big difference.
and the suspected down loaders.
Downloaders of what? Music? Porn?
Its just desserts
So how come you aint snitched on your homie? Or was she already outed?
CBG: “Its just desserts..its like dude thats what your d!!ck gets for sleeping with a woman knowing your Azz was married or otherwise not single.”
Morality aside, it doesn’t make it right. Karrine needs a beating just like Jose Canseco. The fact that they did it to make a dollar makes it all the more dispicable.
@Comeback
“Im NOT saying thats how men do it…im saying to ME they have their “tell all” equivilent.”

What is our tell all equivalent? As far as I know and have seen men don’t do this.
Re: light vs. dark
I have been living in the US for a little over 8 years now. Prior to that, it never occurred to me that my shade of black had a certain importance (except from some comments here and there that were discounted because coming from unimportant folks…
But seriously, as a darker-than-dark black woman, from what I have seen, light skin people get more flack than dark-skinned ones do… Maybe this is the backslash from earlier years of light-skin preference but that has been my experience.
I have a friend who absolutely insists on marrying or dating a light-skin man with good hair because she has pretty deep-rooted issues herself… I think the light skin thing is the first thing to be blamed and allows people not to realize/work on their own issues.
Then again, I have only percieved a tiny tip of the iceberg. So consider this my $0.02.
“So how come you aint snitched on your homie? Or was she already outed?
”
I don’t think thats the same. We dont have a se!xul relationship she’s done ME no personal harm, however she is reclassified. Just desserts is karmic..im not the karmic wand raiser. I take the natural course correction approach..
and some peoples natural correction was naming name. Some of those dudes like Kool Moe Dee treated karrine horribly.

It isn’t cool when yo azz is caught. She didn’t ruin any lives she just put people on blast. Like some of those wives didn’t know the deal. They just didn’t want it publicized. I’m not saying she is right but her azz was backed into a corner so she did what she had to do. Her mistake was messing with bytch a—-s instead of men with real power.

Iono CBG. I bet most of those men are out here doing the same sh!t. It’s not like their behavior changed…it’s not like they had any consequences once all was revealed. Their women are all prolly ‘Debs’. So all of that was for not. She got her money…then went out and did the same sh!t again. And those men participated why? B/C despite it all…there were absolutely no repercussions for their behavior.
It’s not like any of them changed their ways.

She was good… Actually great, but nothing spectacular… I guess I was expecting to get a tip or two…
I’m not even that mad at Karrine. It’s a move that I would have never done, but oh well. I think it takes a lot to put yourself out there and say “Hey, I’ve been out here in the streets wilding the f— out and I’m about to tell you about it.”
I always say if you’re going to be a h*e be the best one you can be and get something out of it.
It’s funny because I was in DC last year, at the Borders and everyone kept asking are you here for the Karrine book signing. I was so confused like I had no idea she was here. So I listened to her for a bit. She’s tiny. You know how when you see someone in person and it can change the way you view them. THat’s how it was when I saw her.

And how in the hell did you hear about coupe decaller? Lol!
I’m a student of the world!! LOL whether it’s soca, zouk, or mbalakh, I want to know more about it and I seek it out.
But coupé décalé will always hold a place in my heart because I saw this girl doing it on youtube and it changed.my.life. LOL
Plus it’s much better than the Go Stabby Go in Trinidad. LOL
@ Offy
If you can find the vid post it please. When I look that up I get vids of kids.
“That’s not too long… You sure you don’t want to finish your credits before you guys move?”
@LP: I’d like to… but I don’t think I’d be done in a year.. I”m taking 9 next semester bc I work full time.. and then I’d have 30 more to go. I’m so impatient.. and the distance is killing me already. lol
@ Jada: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/805454/coupe_decale_senegal/
@Jada, Lovely: That girl in that video…. now I bet SHE can hula hoop. LOL
@Off ” LMAO! Can women do this on purpose?? I’m of the mind that the p-whip is 51% out of a woman’s hands… so to speak.”
In a way yes, it is %51 out of a women’s hands but %49 is knowing what you got and how to use it. I have taught some friends on how to do it though.
@Nicki You are going to finish those credits in Kentucky, Miss Thing!!! You can knock it out and then move. Don’t make me call you Deb Gotti.
Oh okay. Looks like some regular booty popping to me.
Thanks for finding it for me.
Off is Chris Hansen gonna come to my house for watching that video?
@ LP @V,
How did the “welcome back dinner” of last week went… I forgot to ask you last week. .
It went good. He tried to hint (meaning flat out request) that he wanted pork chops. Which I greatly appreciated (because I got tired of acting like I was really trying to make a decision). I was so tempted to go over to my mamas and get a plate and pass it off like I cooked it. I used to do that from time to time but I think he caught on, cause if he doesn’t see me make it, he asks who made it me or my mama. ha!
I have taught some friends on how to do it though.
You’ve taught them to do what?
LMAO… nah No, I don’t think so.
@Bgrits: You can TEACH it?!? Do tell.
Lovely: “@Hugh, I need workout advice (for free). May I ask you?”
Yep. E-mail me at jamiwa3@hotmail.com
Oh okay. Looks like some regular booty popping to me.
@Jada: It is not booty poppin. I know booty poppin and that ain’t it. LOL She wasn’t just doin’ “da butt” or rockin that thang like ooooo…. she was talking to men in that ancient tongue long forgotten by most. LOL
@ Offy
You a hot mess! I think the effect would have been better if I were able to listen to the sound with it. As it was…all I saw was a girl rumpshaking. Not anything I haven’t seen before.
Note to self: Must learn Coupe Decalle asap and add it to the repetoire!!! Is there a workout dvd?
@Jada That is not regular booty popping. She took it to another level…..
@ B
Alls I’m saying…is it’s nothing I haven’t seen before.
@ Shawnta’ – I loved Columbus! I think partly because it has a lot of transiets and there is always something to do. I used to go at least once a month. I haven’t been in a couple of months..summer is coming up and they have a lot of festivals, so Ill be going back more often.
LOL about IHOP. I think I’m IHOP’ed out.
I can’t see the video
but Im dead weak at Jada’s Looks like some regular booty popping to me. .
@Off “@Bgrits: You can TEACH it?!? Do tell.”
A lot of it has to do with your mind and the physical is secondary. Can’t tell you suga because then there is no mystery for you.
@Jada I’ve taught them how to p-whip a man (but not in a negative way).
Concerning the video, you need to hear the music to appreciate it but I feel where you are coming from.
i def can see how the dance brings the boys to the yard..looks like a great workout too.

I agree completely… this takes stamina and control that is hard to sustain. And the same goes for s3x… a dude who can run a marathon may be puffin for air after some rapid-succession stroking for 10 min non-stop. It’s just a different mindset and use of stamina…. and this girl in the video could hula hoop a dude into silly puddy…. leave him all crumpled up in the corner somewhere like an old sock..
@Offy
I knew it was this vid you were going to post… Lol! I need to find the real traditional stuff.
@BGrits

I wanted to market the idea to my local gym… African Dances, most specially Coupe Decalle and the likes… I mean it’s a skill I can use to make money…

Did you edit your own comment? I couldve sworn 2 seconds ago there was mention of youtube, living room and apple tv. Or am I like the Gheto boys and my minds playing tricks on me?
@cbg…. Maybe I should uh?
Or just look for an empty room and start making flyers… Introductory classes on saturday mornings at $20 or something?
By the way, thanks to your post on our blue-collar skills, I’m starting my semi-catering thing this week… I am just starting with one product, a yogurt based drink/dessert very popular in West Africa, Dêguê…
I’ll tell y’all how it goes! Thanks for sparking ideas!
“I couldve sworn 2 seconds ago there was mention of youtube, living room and apple tv”
@ Vroom yeah I gotta a little ahead of myself. I saw L Boogie doing dvds, and then leaking a little of it to you tube and women all over america in their livingroom…working out..
Lol @ V Renee
My mind would be playing tricks on me too…

Can you post a picture..it sounds good.
re: dance class…I took this belly dancing class a couple of times..and basically the instructor said how you it releases se!xual energy stuff like that…you could brand the class…like how to bring the boys to the yard or reignite you man to the bedroom..women wouold eat it up.
@cbg
like how to bring the boys to the yard or reignite you man to the bedroom..women wouold eat it up.
See, you should be in branding of some sort.
Re: image
That’s the only image I could find… Let me do some more research.
http://95.img.v4.skyrock.net/95c/nadjini/pics/711636036.gif
But it’s basically, some sort of couscous made out of mil (don’t know the English name for mil) mixed with homemade creamy and sweet yogourt.
@ LP- that sounds good. Wooo Hoooo for the catering. and wooo hooo to CBG for the inspiring that she does
sounds tasty
@CBG: I’ve taken bellydance classes before. They are so much fun (and a lot of work). And you’re right…the women in my class (all ages) ate up everything the instructor said about what could be done with bellydancing.
