Dear Willie Norwood Jr I can’t with you. You are the weakest link. Brandy sang her little heart out to bring some R&B back to R&B with Two Eleven, and then you fuck up the balance of the family vault with this shit. She should disown your petty ass. You hit it first? Ok. We …

Cherry Blossoms

I don’t do this often, but April is National Poetry Month. So, I’m sharing a poem with you guys on this blog! Yay! The nexus of this is that I came home last night and saw my neighbor bringing his wife flowers. It was the cutest scene ever! I was inspired. And so, I …

Some Advice for My Republican Friends

MissShellySays — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 19:19:37 +0000

So there you have it. Obama’s in for a full 8 years. And rivers of tears are flowing in conservative households. Boo hoo. I feel for you guys. My heart was heavy when George W. won. Especially the second time. So I totally get your pain. But here’s the thing: You can’t reasonably expect to …

Is N/A an optional answer for Question 6?

MissShellySays — Sun, 21 Oct 2012 17:49:42 +0000

I do not oppose gay marriage for one simple reason: the state cannot have services it only affords to certain citizens. If we are to say that our society is one of tolerance (different races, religions, political views, etc), then we cannot then use a religious argument for state policy. You cannot say that …

I [Still] Relax My Hair

MissShellySays — Sun, 30 Sep 2012 22:59:59 +0000

I still get relaxers. Yup. *pause to allow gasps of horror* I have no plans to stop. I neither like or dislike getting relaxers honestly. It’s just something I do to maintain a look. But, apparently, the rest of the uppity black community has some major issues with my relaxer. Without me having anything to …

The Crossover

MissShellySays — Tue, 14 Aug 2012 21:43:31 +0000

I love to talk about Tyler Perry. He is fascinating because there is so much to love and hate at the same damn time. I’m compelled to at least observe everything associated with him, even when I know it’s gonna be terriible. I’m drawn to it. I loathe him as an artist. But I give …

I’m a ‘Curvy CEO’

MissShellySays — Sun, 12 Aug 2012 21:33:22 +0000

A couple weeks ago I sat down with another professional, curvy sista. She’s the mind behind the ‘Curvy CEO’ blog, a fashion and lifestlye blog for all of us ladies with dangerous curves and even more dangerous minds. We discussed poetry, confidence, and just being a boss in general. Click the link below to check …
