Blaxploitation Friday: ‘Claudine’
1974 I decided to bring this series back. I’m starting over from the beginning. Here’s the backstory: I transferred my blog from Blogspot to WordPress earlier this year and for some reason my blogger posts don’t want to budge automatically. What I mean by that is, on my WordPress backend, there’s a function that allows […]
Thrifty Shops: What’s New At Not Just Vintage
NOTE: THIS STORE IS NOW CLOSED. Those of you who followed my now defunct blog on Honeymag.com know that I love Not Just Vintage. It’s a cool boutique located in the heart of Bed-Stuy with super low prices and great clothes–a lot of which is mod Afrocentric. They carry indie designers like Harriet’s Alter Ego […]
Khia Is A Hatin @$$ Hater (Hate Crush Intervention)
I’m not too fond of the term “hater” and don’t use it loosely, because most of the time people don’t really know what a hater is.

This Woman is My Shero: Standing Up To Sexual Harassment
I discovered this video of a woman who took a stand against some random douche bag who thought it was a good idea to molest her, on Jezebel. She. Is. Amazing. “Oh yes! Oh fucking yes!” Quote of the century. Every woman has a story about being disrespected by some psycho who has issues with […]
