Skinny Jeans and the Men Who Wear Them

Honestly, how do you maneuver in those jeans without having to shift your balls around every 5 minutes? Don't your nuts need to breathe? The first thing that comes to mind when I see a male in skin-tight skinny jeans is in..fer..til..ity.

Entertaining Urbanistas-Holidays

Now that my fashion and beauty kick is resting (for awhile), wanted to settle down and post about entertaining for the holidays.  As I mentioned before, I am an entertaining junkie, so this is about the time I plan a fabulous holiday fete for both friends and family.  This year I am hosting Thanksgiving at my home.  I am planning for close to 25 people, and I am a little nervous.  Since I am not enthused about cooking for this many people, I decided to make this a family affair so everyone will bring a dish.

The following day, I plan to host a tree trimming party. Since everyone will still be in town, they can help me put up my tree and decorate the house for Christmas time.  I'm gonna put on my Motown Christmas hits, bring out my decorations and let everyone have at it!  Since there will be several children, I decided to put together a smores station so they can make smores in the fireplace.  We will then bake cookies and make hot cocoa for all to enjoy.  For eats, we'll nibble on leftover turkey and sweet potatoe pie!

Whatever you decide to do this holiday season, please remember the purpose of it all.  It's about giving thanks, and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ!!

What the hell is Girldrive?

I’m so glad you asked!

Here’s a brief what-what about Girldrive...
What do young women care about? Have they heard of feminism, and do they relate to it? These are just two of the questions journalist Nona Willis Aronowitz and photographer Emma Bee Bernstein set out to answer in Girldrive. In October 2007, Aronowitz and Bernstein took a cross-country road trip to meet with the 127 women profiled in this book. Girldrive is a regional chronicle of the struggles, concerns, successes and insights of young women who are grappling--just as hard as their mothers and grandmothers did--to find, define, and fight for gender equity.

Head on over, buy a copy of the book and get your listen on this Sunday!
