Some women have always had curvaceous booties - way before the J. Lo era. In fact, I dare to say that before being bottom heavy was in within mainstream America, sistas had it goin' on way before that! In the black culture, curves were always celebrated. That to me is great because it can be easier to keep curves than force yourself to be stick-thin. But not all women - including black ones - automatically got that extra on the bottom.
 
I remember when that chick from "The Parkers", Countess Vaughn got her behind filled up. A lot of sistas were like, "Why?" We assume most of us got some or a lot of junk in the trunk. (Sidebar: And for those who don't, you can do some squats and Stairmaster to amp up your backyard.) And when all else fails, work with what you got from the good ...

I love.... love. I mean, when you see faithful committed relationships, it's a beautiful thing. But what happens when a mate is using technology to get their creep on? How do you know? Do you even look for signs of cheating?

 

Detroit's mayor Kwame Kilpatrick got caught cheating on his wife with his Chief of Staff Christine Beatty because of naughty texts they stupidly shared.  Sidebar: government phones and you sextin'!? Then, there's Tiger Woods. Sigh. Mistress Jaimee Grubbs actually  produced a digital paper trail  that proved Tiger's cheating ways.  While some of us were, like "Why, oh, why?" because texts can surely bust a cheater.

Or maybe not.

 

Have you heard of the  iPhone app that helps cheaters cheat? Who created this and why!? BOOOOOO!!! Anyhoo,Tiger Text erases text messages from the recipients' phones, eliminating incrimination. Senders have the ability to  decide how long they'd like the text massage to stay on a ...

So the other day did you see my post where some folks were shocked after  an all white sorority won first prize in Sprite's $100,000 Step Off in the ATL? Well,  it turns out Zeta Tau Alpha will be sharing the top spot instead. Sprite announced Thursday that because of a scoring discrepancy in the sorority results, the second-place winners, the Tau Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha, Inc. from Indiana University, would be recognized as co-winners and awarded the same $100,000 prize.

The change was revealed in a Facebook statement but didn't give any  insight into the exact problem with the scoring, nor how it was discovered. The announcement came after days of blog posts and YouTube comments alternating between support for Zeta Tau Alpha's win and those who didn't dig it.

Zeta Tau Alpha is a predominantly white organization, which took first place in a tradition that has historically been dominated by African-American fraternities ...

So I took a pole fit class and understand a few things.

 

I was not as sexy as the professional polers.

 

It was hard.

 

And my thighs were bruised the next day.

 

While pole dancing previously was solely a strip club thing, now it's at the epicenter of fitness routines. There's even detachable poles for those who want to pole at home - for fitness or some marital frisky fun. But can you imagine pole dancing in the Olympics!? Some say it should be so. Read here for the 411!

 

 

I love quizzes - especially those that focus on personality traits or relationships. There has been a term floating around lately, though it has existed for years: frenemy. 

 

What is it? Someone you believe to be a friend yet their actions say otherwise. Here's a  quiz for us to take to see if homegirl is right or an enemy in disguise. Got a pen and paper? Let's go!
