My Must-Have iPad Apps

apps June 25, 2011

Friend Friday: The Daring Continuum

Friend Friday June 24, 2011

Of Note: Dark Girls Movie {via Stylish Thought}

Dark Girls Movie June 22, 2011
By Katrice I know I thought it at some point in my life.  I'm not quite dark-skinned, but I'm also not light. I'm sure, however, as a young girl, I was happy that I wasn't one who was singled out for being "too dark;" in those days, the immediate equivalent of unattractive. I thought we were past that ... likely because I am...
