Female Acne and Hormones
I am as female as I want to be and this issue is very dear to my existence. HORMONES ARE THE KEY TO EVERYTHING! This is an extremely good article on the subject. As a male, I think of the connection between my hormones and my appearance everyday. I am not an exception!

Over it: I dont date hip hop heads
I love hip hop. I am hip hop. We are the same age. But I have wandered in the desert of MTV schizophonia since the great schism of east coast -vs- west coast.Currently, I am more into the Commons, Andre 3000's, and newbies like Black Milk and Chester French ( get into them).
The major problem is that Hip Hop is anti romance. And my refuge of R&B had become all sex. I am not saying that all of it is. Actually, beginning a few years ago Hip Hip grew up and morphed beautifully into the basis for a worldwide indie movement. The problem is the mature hip hop was tuned into by people much younger than me. My problem is I can't date anybody younger than me. ( I know perish the thought!) Whatev! The real: Hip hop heads my age bought into all that machismo imagery and think that's how you keep a man.
Just recently I got a text promotion inviting me to a Thugged Out nite, where wearing "Timbs" got you free drinks. I am just tired of people not acknowledging there fetishes. That look is no more masculine than any leather chap wearing Levi's loving daddy bear at any Eagle from here to Roma! The hip hop thug is all about mystique. You have probably had the experience of taking a brutha home. Teasing his magnum filler to perfect form and then bam the legs fly up! I am more than happy to help a man out but, damn, every time!
You can always tell the tops at a hip hop party. They stand out. They have allot to pick from, depending on their age and physical shape. The night you meet them, its all good. You know that's part of the fetish. "12 am on my way to the club..." They have to meet you in the club, thats where the Ho's at! That night can be as romantic and fun as any. Flirty looks, and sexy texts. Then part two of the fetish; the oral exam. Somebody is gonna get licked, and you better be ready when the moment strikes. Head in the car, ten bonus points! I have rarely made it past the garage. You will always be able to spend the morning. But when the sunrises get over it. Trust me Sunday morning is the litmus test for any relationship. As a routine Meet the Press watcher I can't tell you how many times I had to miss it for one more roll in the sack.
I would prefer " cheese eggs with Welch's grape" and my pundits. I rarely got food for breakfast. I know everybody is screaming ;where is the problem! Its in the lack of real lifestyle. I can be down with casual sex. Just stop acting like you are not cruising for trade at the hip hop party and we can both get a nut and be on our way!
If your are a romantic lost in Hip Hop queerdom leave a comment!

IT: WEEKND 02/06-02/08
1)HAPPY 21rst to my princess;
SO my beloved younger sister turned 21 and I had blast showing her how I do. I got her a fabulous suite at the quaint and romantically beautiful Hotel Lombardy. (I love my hook-up power!) I took her to my friend Tony Villa and his friend Dance Diva Rachel Panay ( not Phillipino!) get down glam fest at my fav Bar BEbar. I never had the chance to wshow her my lifestyle and wanted so bad for her to enjoy. SHE Lived! The queens never disappoint! Drunken Linda Evangenotso, Beyonce's mini- me Drag Star Epiphany, and the variably dressed sundry clubbers, Thank You.My sister was tickled paisley with the shenanigans which full filled every stereotype while shattering them. Nightclubs are participatory theater, and Tony and RP give you a show where being backstage, onstage, and in the audience are one & the same! We hopped in the stretch and made our way over to Fly Lounge. I love the red carpet. The staff ( especially Italian It GM P) at the underground spot made my little sister feel right at home. The DJ Chuck Koch blended the nowest hip-hop with danciest Electro. Fly takes you there! Thank you for living up to my hype! While there I ran into the Amahzing D'Maz. This man is on the path to It boy Hall of Fame. Check out his TV show www.hitspotmedia.com . My little sis will be making appearances more often. Attention Must Be Paid!
After working the morning after no sleep; my functional haze dragged me to the Vagina Monologues. Eve Ensler's one woman show made into a fabulous ensemble piece starring 5 of the most intriguing Black womyn stars of stage, TV, and radio. Queen Ayaisha emceed in a relatable sisterfriend/Diva fashion. She took all the anxiety out of the audience. She joked about all of our fears and wants. Even the First Lady Michelle got a shout out as Queen jokingly portrayed a conservative White House striptease. She was a good lubricant for the next two hours of vagina stories. The biggest surprise of the night came from Deelishis ( who cares what her real name is). The woman can hold your attention with a whisper. She held her own and a few other persons to. Kitten Queen Lisa Raye made a turn as a multitude of womyn she has versatility for your nerves. Mama Ella Joyce of Roc fame performed the most emotional of the monologues. She never lets you down. her emotional range and clear diction more than overcompensate for her black Rebecca D'mornay carta. I live, no shade. Dick Gregory's progeny Ayana is a force of nature. She emoted all over the place delivering the monologues of the War Rape Camp survivor and an Arabic woman trapped in the archaic world of the Taliban. My friend Dr.Ro acted as the help guide for the show. She closed the show with her strong and instructive demeanor. There were more performers , of course.
The one thing I noticed was the disconnect with some of the material for the largely African American audience. There were allot of Cultural references that just failed. The next day, while explaining my concern to a friend from Spain, I discovered that it had no resonance with her either. If Miss Eve got all these stories, she needs to create more culturally appropriate texts for the various women. As a one woman show the diversity is great. But six revered black women beatboxing out C U N T is not the ticket. I have never heard a black woman say that word. It is just not appropriate for the majority of the audience. I don't care how many b0oks are written about it, Cunt does not matter to Black Women. Here is my advice to any future producers: If it does not Resonate! You must Translate!.
Sundays are my favorite and this one was one of the best. We checked out of the hotel and i went bopping around in the sunshine gift hunting for the sisters Birthday dinner. I made my way over to the Josephine Butler House ( A gorgeous home located adjacent to Malcolm X Park). My girls were crafting and DJing it up at the in house fair. The one thing I notice about the crafty set is their classic disregard for pleasantries. They are usually adorable, but they have the personalities of Daria. Think Juno. My girls Mother Sheister Darby, and RAT work the front corner to a tizzy . RATs very IT screenprints of female rock legendistas are so now they will be big in Japan next year. The Grace Jones Members only jacket is the underground fashion alarm ringer for the summer.
Made it to dinner in PG county at the scrumptuous Topolino's. Then, Back to Dupont for a Grammy viewing party with Tony and Rachel at Level One. The Grammys were boring and I was tired of being the odd Black Girl out around cheerful Martini drinking duponters. I mean honestly honey you aren't at the Grammy's.My chocolate martini, delish, the company interesting, ambience modern ikea homey. Overall the experience should be recreated with a livelier crowd.
* My picks Adele, Duffy, Estelle, and the new Lil one thats not Bow Wow took their categories!.
What did you do this weekend! (Leave a comment)
