Dear Kate, At The Very Least, Let Me Model Your Underwear

I've been meaning to blog about this since I read it last month, then a couple days passed, but according to my calender, it's been a whole month. No idea how that happened. It's about the Dear Kate underwears, and if you know anything about me, you know I love underwears. My regular stay-at-home outfit is a t-shirt, an underwear, and no bra. Read my underwear-related posts here. Anyway, Dear Kate did the unthinkable. They recruited real women to be the models in their new lookbook for their Read More

My Neighbor, Tatiana Won’t Leave My Window!

Remember my neighbor, Tatiana? I blogged about her here. I thought she was mad before, but now I'm convinced that she is really, really mad.

I was at Walmart the other day staring too long at the travel mugs, trying to decide which one to get for Igwe. There was a Walmart employee next to me, arranging water bottles and mason jars .

She Asked Me If Nigeria Was On Another Planet

At the closeout party at the BlogHer Conference, Rev Run was on the 1s and 2s, and it was just wonderful. Did I ever think the day would come when "Tricky" would be booming through the speakers and Rev Run would be rapping along, right in front of me? No, but it happened anyway, and I enjoyed every bit of it. After he left, we still had about 45 minutes to network and chat among each other. I was sitting and chatting with a blogger with whom I had made an acquaintance the day before. And Read More

10 Lessons I Learned From Arianna Huffington At The BlogHer Conference

Before I knew anything about who would be at BlogHer, I had already made the decision to attend it. But when I found out that Arianna Huffington would be there, I couldn't wait to attend. On stage, she was interviewed by Guy Kawasaki who is very popular. I didn't know him then, but I certainly know him now. Arianna was unexpectedly funny. I don't know what I expected, but I know I did not expect that. Like Guy had already warned us, when you ask Arianna a question, she tells you what she Read More
