Some of my battles with weight have been very public. But most of them have been internal. Even at my thinnest, when my body was being praised, I wasn't happy with what I saw in the mirror or how I felt about myself.
I don't see anything wrong with staying young looking as long as you can.
The only thing that bothers me is that the girls come up to me and say, "I'm dating your ex-husband." I'm happy that he's dating girls and getting out...
I lose things all the time. I used to lose my license all the time before I put a place in my car for it.
My first crush was Barry Manilow. He performed on TV and I taped it. When no one was around I'd kiss the screen.

You have to be careful with the clitoris, because if the piercer doesn't know what he's doing, it can be numbed for good.
I'm convinced that we Black women possess a special indestructible strength that allows us to not only get down, but to get up, to get through, and to get over.
