Dear Vera, Should I Cheat On My Husband?

Dear Vera, Should I Cheat On My Husband?

I met my husband when I traveled to Nigeria some years ago. We fell in love and dated via telephone and internet. You know how that goes. We dated this way (and saw each other twice during the relationship) before we finally got married in Abuja in August of 2013. Yes, we have been married for less than a year. I started filing for him in January of this year, but I'm still waiting to hear from Immigration. You know how long it takes them to do things. About a week after I submitted the Read More

The Good Wife Is Awesome Television! Why Didn’t Anyone Tell Me?

The Good Wife Is Awesome Television! Why Didn’t Anyone Tell Me?

Comcast had its watchaton week last week, but we didn't find out till Friday (and it was over on Sunday). Usually, I feel like, psshht, I don't need Watchaton! I already watch all the best shows AND I have the premium channels. Well, this time I was wrong. We went through the list of available shows and we - more like I - decided that we should watch The Good Wife because I had heard so much about it. Problem is, The Good Wife has 23 episodes per season, and the show is currently in its 5th Read More

How To Bevel The Heck Out Of Your Man!

How To Bevel The Heck Out Of Your Man!

And you're wondering what that means? Well, read on!The Bible says that there is more blessing in giving than there is in receiving, and I couldn't agree more. There's a wonderful, wonderful feeling that comes with knowing that someone is smiling because of what you have given them. It's almost selfish to have this wonderful feeling. It's almost as if you had an ulterior motive for giving the gift. It's the same feeling I get every single time I give Igwe a gift. I remember one birthday when I Read More

Does Being A Gay Man Make You A Fashionista?

Does Being A Gay Man Make You A Fashionista?

There's a trend going on. I don't know when, why, or how it started, but it's out there and it might be here to stay. There are gay men, and there are gay men who think they are fashionistas. And well, both of these things can in fact be mutually exclusive - contrary to what popular media may think.  It's like anything that's fashion related cannot be complete without gay men. Really, really gay men. You know who has inspired me to write this post? It's Derek J. Derek J, the celebrity Read More

How Not To Ask A Blogger For A Favor

How Not To Ask A Blogger For A Favor

I can't say about other media-related jobs/careers, but when it comes to blogging, some people think that all it takes to blog is to wake up, scratch your butt, stroke a few keys on your keyboard, and voila! You're live. Well, no, that is not how it happens. I realize I have said this so many times, but I have to keep saying it. Verastic did not start as a business or a money-making blog, and I did not start out being a pro blogger or even trying to be a pro blogger. I just wanted to write. Read More
