LOL @ Diddy...


There is no caption that would do this photo justice. Apparently Sean "Diddy" Combs will be making a bottomless appearance in GQ Magazine in August. This photo was released as a preview. *snickers*

...#5


High heels.
Super high.
Crazy ridiculous.
Platform.
Stripper.
Stiletto.
HEELS!

Secretly, I wish I could walk in heels without feeling like I would break my neck...
I want to go to dinner, the club annnnd post-club breakfast
without worrying about changing my shoes
or feeling like I need to go home
because my feet are aching in defeat.

Someday, I will walk in heels without having to think about it.

On that day, ya'll better watch out...
because I'm going to walk from the Bronx all the way
to the very tip of Long Island
with a bull horn
announcing to the world that
I am a woman...
not a flip-flop toting faker,
but a real deal,
full blown,
sexy,
liberated,
phenomenal,
WOMAN.

Until that day,
I'll be that spunky girl seated on the A train
in her flip flops or Air Jordans,
smiling at strangers
and well, pretty comfortable.

Janelle Monae -- TightRope (Wondamix)




I just love Janelle Monae... Originality means so much. :-)

Communion: A Female Search for Love

"Ultimately, I could not count on finding love, I could count on my mind. I looked for love, but I found freedom. And the freedom I found changed my way of thinking about the place of love in a woman’s life. I began to see that the proper place for love in a woman’s life was not relational love as the source but love generated in the quest for self-realization. By claiming that quest as essential, as the journey that would determine my fate, I realized that the proper place for love was the solid foundation on which i would invent self and create life. Uniting the search for love with the quest to be free was the crucial step. Searching for love, I found the path to freedom. Learning how to be free was the first step in learning to know love.”

-Bell Hooks: ‘Communion: a female search for love’


*snaps fingers* yes! yes!
