Escaping Sexual Assault Abroad
Here’s part one of a two part break down of my highest highs and lowest lows on my recent girls trip to Barbados, starting with the worst moment first. This is the story of how I escaped being sexually assaulted by an arrogant local.
Snap Shot From Yesterday’s Halloween Madness!
The hubby and I got dressed up for what turned out to be fun Halloween festivities at Johnson Publications in Chicago.
The Internet x Dregs of Society, Sexist Someecards Meme Goes Viral
I used to like Someecards until the unfunny, screwed up jack asses of the world got a hold of it. Isn’t that always what happens with the internet? It’s a cool place but also an awful place where you get to see what cowardice people–and there are so many of them–really think of you.
Link Love Supreme: Check Out The Cypher League
I’m showing link love to this particular website for a couple of reasons. The one I’ll share is that I like the cause. It’s a group of high school kids who decided to use the internet for constructive activities, as opposed to spreading hate and cyber bullying on message boards, which is clearly an epidemic. […]
Look Ma, I’m on TV – What I Learned From Appearing on Vh1’s ‘Love & Hip-Hop’
When I interviewed model Erica Mena for VIBE.com, I had no idea that it would lead to my first TV appearance. Technically, I’ve been on TV before if you count web TV where I’ve hosted segments or gotten interviewed, and even random appearances on the news as a kid for whatever program I was a […]

Because we all have different strengths, weaknesses, body shapes and flexibility, what may work for one person on their first attempt may not work for another until their […]
G Travel – Playing In Las Vegas
I wrote a piece for VIBE Vixen listing a few things you can do on your next girl’s trip to Las Vegas.
Adventures In Pole Dancing: The Polestruck Factor x Humility
When I first started pole dancing in February, I looked at the teachers as if they were these mystical all-knowing pole gurus because they were so good at the craft. But recently I realized that they were human. I know that sounds like a memo from Captain Obvious but when you’re new at a craft […]
Weddings 101, The Culture Of Greed
I’ve never been that girl who was planning her wedding since she was five. I was perfectly ok with whatever direction my life took romantically, whether I was married or not, but then I met the love of my life. Once we figured out that we’d like to get married we talked about the possibilities […]
