G-Style Shopping: Become A Collecther
Collecther 306 Franklin Ave I couldn’t resist being cliche with the title of this post. Speaking of temptation, you will find a lot of it at Collecther, a quaint vintage boutique located in Bed-Stuy (or Clinton Hill depending on who you ask).
Kreayshawn, V-Nasty, White Girl Mobs And All Other Wack Things About Hip-Hop Summed Up
Most of the time I don’t even want to entertain ratchetness like this because I refuse to contribute to SEO or publicity. However, sometimes we have to speak up. Kreayshawn and her White Girl Mob have become viral and subsequently, music industry hits. Yep, this is the type of stuff that some of the people […]
Adventures In Pole Dancing 5: More Pain More Gain
Pole dancing hurts. A lot. I can’t stress that enough. It never stops. As you get more advanced you do moves that hurt even more but you eventually learn to deal with the discomfort. I used to think I realized how sensitive the thigh region was until I started learning how to invert. Now I […]
I’m A Video Girl You Can Be Proud Of (Idle Warship’s ‘System Addict’)
We’re all lurkers and stalkers at some point online, whether we admit it or not. Idle Warship’s “System Addict” explains it best. Talib Kweli asked some ladies to be a part of the video to capture the essence of the internet troll in all of us. Check it out: Shout out to Nola Darling, I […]
Adventures in Pole Dancing 4: Chopper City
Hello chopper. I can do it now⎯the basic version. The chopper is when you kick your legs up over your head into an upside down v. It’s an easy pole dance move for those who are advanced but for pole babies like me, tackling even the basic version is a huge victory. Now that I […]
G-Tunes: MYM – “Hold You Down”
I was introduced to MYM by Stephane Alexandre, my journalist friend from across the pond. MYM’s from across the pond too. I think she’s pretty cool. So far, the Brittish singer/songwriter has been dubbed as a mix between Shingai (The Noisettes) and Adele. Check out the video for her single “Hold You Down” after the […]
Adventures In Pole Dancing Pt. 3: I’m A Superwoman?
I didn’t know my skin could bruise until I started pole dancing, when I got introduced to pole burn. It’s not a feeling anyone can really empathize with unless they actually go through it but translation: OUCH. Brava to advanced pole dancers because not only do they have to make their tricks look pretty and […]
How I Got Invited Then Uninvited To Speak On A Panel That I Wasn’t Getting Paid For (A BKHHF Love Story)
I always expect human beings to take the low road, especially when ego is involved. I realize how pessimistic and cynical that sounds but my experiences in life haven’t really taught me much different. I’m not saying that good people don’t exist, but finding rational people who aren’t petty is hard to come by. I […]
