I Ain't No Hollaback Girl . . . & God is Brazilian.
Ok, I know that Gwen Stefani is not everyone’s role model, but she is mine right now, because I ain’t no hollaback girl. Right now, I’m in Rio de Janeiro, conducting thesis research, and there’s so much to see, do, and understand beyond the issue of the postcards with pictures of girls’ butts on them. Same [...]

Gender Normativity, Post-Mrs.Doubtfire Doubts, & A Drive-By Fruiting
I went to a dinner party a while ago, and it was really nice. I was camoflaged in adult clothes, and standing around with adults, chatting, and this child ran through. The child hesitated on the edge of our circle of tall obstacles, and then darted into the middle and out the other side. The [...]

my life be like ooh ah…….. and gettin' meta
So let’s get meta. That’s the parlance of the blogging world, which I joined by accident because I signed up for a class about pop culture last semester.

32 Flavas of That Bootylicious Radio Monopoly
Recently, I was dancing around my kitchen to my local Clear Channel top 40 station for hiphop and r&b. The song was Crime Mob’s “Rock Yo’ Hips,” and I stopped stirring the corn bean salad in disbelief when Diamond’s solo came on.
