You may (or may not, NBD, I don't judge) have noticed that I have added a pinterest logo to my footer.
Never fear, thine eyes have not deceived you, I have in fact joined pinterest. I actually joined a while ago, but refused to use it. I don't think it adds anything to my online experience so far, but I'm still a newbie so we'll see as we go along. In any case, feel free to follow my boards and add me as a friend. Then I won't look so lame! but seriously, can we collectively agree to ignore any other social networks that turn up?

UPDATE: I've also added a fun pinterest widget (courtesy of and many thanks to Marie of Code it Pretty) to my footer that allows you to hover through my latest pins. I think it's pretty awesome. If you'd like to add it to your own blogger blog, here's the tutorial.

They don't realize it, but the concentrated hate that they hold for her is steeped in a very specific kind of racialized misogyny . Walter White was no hero, but somehow we managed to love him. Dexter was a serial killer  and yet, we lauded him too. What do they have in common? You guessed it. Men. White  men. Who also happened to be anti-hero characters whose virtues were valued alongside their flaws. But I'm going to set that aside for now. I'm a black woman and I LOVE Scandal. I am not blind to Olivia's flaws. I love her  because she has flaws.  Black women are so severely underrepresented in media that Kerry Washington's role has garnered a considerable amount of attention simply because she is a black woman in a lead role of a network televisi

via Paper Mag Nicki Minaj by Howard Huang Personally, I wish Nicki would do more looks like this. She's deep into her "costume" phase right now, and that's fine, but I think she's forgotten (and consequently so has everyone else) how GORGEOUS she looks when she goes glam. She has all the makings of a style icon in the traditional sense, but she seems to prefer the Gaga route. That's perfectly okay of course, but I'd love to see her do more easy beauty shoots like this one. She's a beautiful woman.
