Grown Man Liars x Ms. Lace

20120228-195907.jpg

“Grown man liars, storytellers they ain’t even need a campfire!”.

Man…Drake couldn’t have said it any better & it’s sad they even exist!!!!! You don’t have to lie to kick it. But no seriously…you DON’T *side eye*. Honesty is truly the best policy and here’s where most of you men mess up… I’m sorry where you “boys” mess up! If a woman asks you a question and your first thought is to “lie” in your response, STOP RIGHT THERE! 9x out of 10, she already knows the answer, just get it over with! Example: (and this is a true story), I stumbled across some info about a guy I was seeing, so I called and asked him “Did you sleep alone last night?” ; his response, “Yeah, did you?” I asked him the same question again and again and what did he do?!… he lied. So I told him I knew that he was lying, yet he still denied it!!!! 5 minutes later: “Well you don’t know what she came over for”. Lmbooooo. I’m like gosh, I shouldn’t have to twist your arm & make threats to get an honest answer!!!! Smh.

Fighting The Urge to Submit X Corrie Bradshaw

If you don’t know much about me, just stick around for a while and there are a few things you’d notice immediately. I’m very outspoken about sexual equality and I continue to raise my fist and extend my middle finger to the man-law, and fight for the poonts of the world to have an opinion without getting stifled. I’m unapologetically loud and upfront about my disdain for the image, treatment, and expectations of black women in this new fuck-ass century. With that being said: How can I walk into my house or the bedroom and…. submit?

Good Girl Gone Bad x Ms. Jones


Our favorite ‘good girl gone bad’ has gone from bad to worse…so they say. We have fallen in love with this new raunchy and ratchet Rihanna. She is undeniably a BAD ASS! She showed just how bad she can be with only giving us one verse of “Birthday Cake”. She said, “Imma make you my bitch!” and she most definitely did. She had everyone fiending for “cake”, and even more so, fiending for the rest of the freaking song! Well, she gave it to us….with her middle finger proudly extended while most likely grabbing her crotch!

R.E.S.P.E.C.T x JusTeah

20120224-074734.jpg

Now while the topic of relationships and the impact social networks has on them has been talked about to death, I’m going to address this issue from another angle. While surfing through Twitter timelines and Instagram, I’ve noticed that there is a complete lack of respect for relationships these days. Fellow CorrieBradshaw blogmate Ms. Lace aka @Every1LovesLace, briefly addressed this topic in her posting this week. Welp…I’m here to further elaborate on it. Continue reading

N.I.K.E. x @CarpeDiem_Ty

R.I.P. Nike Air Foamposites (1997-2011). *Pours liquor out while wearing airbrushed “In Memory of” shirt*.

Some of you may be throwing up your hands in celebration like this \o/ !!! Others may think I smoke dope for even typing such a thing. Believe me when I say, it hurts to say it, but Foams are dead. Even people living under a rock have heard someone mention Foams. Whether it be the pine green that may never hit the store, the suu woo red foams, or the newest of the bunch, the Galaxies. The Galaxies release on 2/25 nationwide. Although Nike didn’t produce enough to satisfy even half the demand of one major state, news of the sneaker has spread from a twitter timeline near you, to FaceBook newsfeeds, to the front pages of national newspapers.

Extreme Couponing 101 x @PeeksPlus1

20120224-074653.jpg

Are you one of those people who complain about high prices? Are you someone who loves to save money? Do you get excited when you find a great deal? If you answered yes to all, or even just one of those questions, extreme couponing is for you! If you’ve ever watched the show you may think some of those people are ridiculous…and they are, but for someone just coming out of college and with a child to care for, saving a dollar here or there is very helpful. My interest in couponing started about 2 months ago when I saw my cousins stock pile. I thought if she could do it, I surely could as well.

Love & Labels x Ms. Cleaver

Press play then hear what I have to say:
 

Check the tag on the garments worn of almost every young, materialistic male in a crowded night club and you may find that they sport more designer labels than the mannequin located by the sales rack in Bloomingdale’s. Draped in their favorite designer labels on a daily basis, some men perceive these exclusive labels to be an investment, but is the title of “Boyfriend” the one label that some of these men just can’t afford to invest in?

Boundaries x Ms. Lace

20120221-212846.jpg

Soooo, these past couple of weeks, I’ve been noticing several of my Instagram and Twitter followers kind of venting about the same thing: friends communicating with their exes, currents, and futures! Welp, I’m going to go ahead and address this issue because I do see it on my timeline and I can’t help but to think “really…you gon’ be that bold”?

These social sites got yall bugging…. Continue reading

Friendly Advice X Corrie Bradshaw

I need answers. Why were Ginuwine’s twisties pro-style gelled into that everlasting length? Why the Disney Fantasia dance breakdown in the middle of the video? Why the constant need for approval from your friends?

The older you get, it becomes more important to keep your relationship between you and the person you’re with. That goes for coworkers, church folk, your favorite gas attendee….even when it comes to your friends. Matter of fact, especially when it comes to your friends.

I guess I never understood why we as females, make it such a big point to have our mates overly accepted by all of our friends. Yes, of course, we all want to be able to have a dinner date or a night out on the town with our friends and our significant others but the age old question, “so what do you think?” may not hold as much weight as you think. Here’s why. Continue reading

Self-Hate x Ms. Jones

20120220-011147.jpg

“Immigrant parents had me feeling like a step-kid
And black Americans never did accept me
That’s why I thrive so much, win and respect dig
I never fit in with them light skins
I felt the lighter they was the better that they life is
So I resented them and they resented me” -Wale

If you didn’t know this already, my name is isn’t Ms Jones. Matter of a fact, my last name is the furthest thing from Jones. Let me put my government out there for you. My name is Sarai Renee’ Ibokette. Yes, you read it correctly. There wasn’t a single typo involved darling. I-B-O-K-E-T-T-E. I know what you’re thinking, “She’s AFRICAN?!?” Yes I am. My father is from Nigeria, belonging to the small Annang tribe. So that makes me African American, literally. :) Growing up, my circle consisted of nothing but African Americans. I attended predominantly African American schools, churches, etc. Ironically, I was teased ALL of my adolescent years by my African American peers, for being….African. Continue reading
