Wordless Wednesday: Adam Levine

I've had a crush on Adam Levine since the first time I saw Maroon 5. He's hot and it's not just because of his body. He has this type of confidence that makes you want to jump him right there. Plus he can sing and he has dimples. I kinda have a thing for dimples.

Petty Women

Sometimes I really hate dealing with women. And not to be racist, this is my opinion and I happen to be one, but black women are especially difficult to deal with. There is often this cattiness that I just don't understand. I don't have a lot of girl friends. I have a couple of close ones that I've known since junior high. And the relationship with one of them seems to be growing apart as we get older. The other one, is my role dog, even if she has kids and man now.

I've been hanging out with a lot more people that I went to college with and having some fun times, but these aren't usually black women. A lot of friends are also getting married and having kids and it becomes hard to have a fun friendship with someone that never has time for you any more. But, that's neither hear nor there. This post is about this chick I had the pleasure of not slapping the other day.

Laws of Attraction

Everyone one has a type that they find attractive. Sometimes that type changes over time or you go phases. For awhile, most of the guys I dated were tall, dark skinned, muscular with a shaved head. There was usually a motorcycle involved too, but that's another story for another post.

As of lately, I really don't know what my type of guy is. I'm not gravitating towards one particular look or type of guy. I've even started dating more white, hispanic and middle eastern guys. I've spent years dating only black men. Luckily black men come in all different shades so you could end up with one as dark and fine as Idris Elba or the other side spectrum like Jesse Williams. But that is a beauty of black men, there are so many different shades and types.

So what if you aren't physically attracted to someone right away? I've said before that someone has grown on me, but that usually meant their personality or some other quirk they have. As I have gotten older I realize that I don't want someone's personality to grow on me. I want someone that I click with right away.

Wordless Wednesday: Idris Elba

This guy is hot and his English accent just makes him even more irresistible. He reminds me of a guy I dated for a few years, which is probably why I think he's so hot. I love the fact that he can rock a suit or beanie hat and look good either way.

Update: Planned Parenthood & Komen Foundation


Update: Planned Parent & Komen Foundation <– Click the link to see the full story on CNN.com

Through a lot of pressure, it took only a few days for the Susan G. Komen Foundation to back pedal and restore funding to Planned Parenthood. In fact, Planned Parenthood was able to raise more money because of their pulled grants. Over $400,000 was donated on their online website and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg pledged to match donations up to $250,000.

Tweets, Facebook and blogs (mine included) were up in arms about the pulling of funds from Planned Parenthood because they weren’t pro-life. I’m happy that they saw the pressure and everyone that was getting behind Planned Parenthood. I will be making a donation at my next appointment.

Planned Parenthood is Necessary

I have been a patient of Planned Parenthood, and not for an abortion as most would suspect. I am a young, single woman that is above income limits to qualify for subsidized health insurance. But Planned Parenthood offers health services for women. They even have better office hours than most doctors.

I was totally upset to hear about Susan G. Komen deciding to pull some of their monetary support from Planned Parenthood. The organization sees thousands of women every year that don’t have any other place to go.

Ban this, but not That?

I’m really confused by BET and Viacom’s recent banning of the Nicki Minaj song, Stupid Hoe. Now I’m not a fan of rap and really hate things that put down women. But what I don’t like is why this song is banned. They claim it to be too explicit. However, over the years men have been able to put much more explicit videos on the air.

Check out Nicki’s Video:

I don’t really care for the song, but I didn’t see anything much more explicit than you see in men’s rap videos. I did think I was going to have a seizure with all the flashing, but because of the quick flashes you weren’t really given a chance to see her ass.


This video, all seven minutes of it, features tons of scantily clad women, simulated sex acts and women with no clothes that had to be blurred out.
So after watching these videos, is it sexist that Viacom bans Nicki Minaj, but they fully supported Tip Drill and even produced the Ludacris video “Pussy Poppin”?
