When the Apostle Paul declared that women shall cover their heads during worship who knew a biblical commandment would have such a profound impact on fashion. Our for-Sistas dating back to African American roots and beyond to the mother land, Africa, today's modern Afro-American women wears centuries of heritage on their heads. "I think it's because it's rooted in the African tradition that says that when one presents oneself before God… that you should be at your best –- that you should present excellence before the Almighty," says Craig Marberry co-author of Crowns. Well even if you have no intention of dressing to the Nines for the "Almighty" you can't deny that Church Ladies bring majestic wisdom refined beauty to the fashion world.
As the early 20th century was finding it's footing Afro-Americans were beginning to enjoy some limited independence. "Sunday church services provided African American women who worked as domestic servants or in other subservient roles the only real chance to break away from their drab, dreary workday uniforms. says Michael Cunningham of Time Magazine and co-author of Crowns. The women typically went for textured fabrics, bright colors and of course the key ingredient flamboyancy, some of the hats I see today have it all over Liberacci in that department. A matching ensemble is also important to the outfit; shoes, pocket book and gloves but I don't need to tell you ladies that right ;)
Hats also served as status symbols.

I respect Kirk Cameron as a good person and a good Christian however I disagree with the context in which this video is presented. Let's go down the list.
Kirk says:
We can no longer pray in public: False, I'll go find a police officer and pray in front of him, he won't arrest me.

You know that saying, it takes a village to raise a child?
Apparently, Kanye's village has failed him. He obviously doesn't have a real friend in the world.

Hey hey! It's your special day, gays and lesbians, as the California Supreme Court listens to arguments on whether to overturn Proposition 8, which outlawed gay marriage in the state of California only months after that same court declared marriage "an inalienable right". Crowds are gathered outside the courthouse in San Francisco to watch the hearing, but for the rest of you, stick around as we use this space throughout the day to give you live updates, Twitter feeds, video and interviews about the biggest constitutional case over gay marriage this country has ever seen.

So to kick off everyone's weekend here is one of my favorite "want to dance and lip-sync to it every time I hear it" song.
Enjoy your weekend ladies!
_______________
Here is the lyrics so you can sing along with me and you know you want to:
Where’s all mah soul sistas
Lemme hear ya’ll flow sistas
[Mya:]
Hey sista, go sista, soul sista, flow sista
Hey sista, go sista, soul sista, go sista
[Mya:]
He met Marmalade down IN old Moulin Rouge
Struttin’ her stuff on the street
She said, "Hello, hey Jo, you wanna give it a go?"

Last night’s episode was called, The Fourth Man in the Fire and we found out like I predicted it was not Bill in the fire, but one of the fade in the background characters, Neal. Yeah, I was like who as well, but as we learned he is the coroner’s assistant, and he was apparently a fang-banger.
First off, what the hell happens to vampires when they burn?

Dare I say it, but I'm starting to get excited about this movie. Mr. Disgusting's lucky a* got to visit the Texas set. Here's what he has to say:
It’s 9:30AM here in Austin, Texas and I pretty much hauled ass right to the airport from the set of Platinum Dunes’ FRIDAY THE 13TH.
