STACEY DASH, My 2007 Baby Mama
July 9th, 2006
I am mad that STACEY DASH is so fucking gorgeous in the photo shoot she did for the upcoming Playboy magazine. I admit that I slept on Ms.DASH as B.M. status. Yeah, I wanted to beat her little seat, but I didn’t want to bust up in it. After I saw these photos I realized that I need to get one of her eggs. I know cloning is immoral and the whole nine, but what if you could go to the supermarket and get a carton of STACY DASH eggs? I would put those in a cup and drink them.

I feel a little fucked up about going to the newsstand and buying this magazine since I too want Black women to be portrayed by the media in the proper light. Speaking of light(ing), the scenes that Playboy is using are wonderfully lit and they really show Ms.DASH’s marvelous 40year old physique. Fuck what your heard, STACEY has made 40 the new 20 and I want to pummel fire out of her cocoa tanned backside. I want to beat her little pum pum up like she said something bad about my momma’s cooking. I want to see if I can leave my handprint on her firm, oil-sheened azz.
Getting back to the whole media image thing… I think it’s a powerful feminist statement that STACEY DASH is making by posing in Playboy. She is taking control of her image by not letting it be exploited by lesser publications like Maxim, Blender or Black Tail. Playboy is not pimping STACEY DASH, she is pimping Playboy.
Who am I kidding? The STACEY DASH Playboy mag is a collector’s item along with the VANESSA WILLIAMS Penthouse and the JAYNE KENNEDY Playboy.
STACEY DASH is the ultimate hustler.
ESSENCE Magazine Doesn’t Really Care About Black Women
July 9th, 2006
I know how some of you good folks think that ESSENCE Magazine is the paradigm for progressive thinking on behalf of colored women, but I am here to tell you that is far from the truth.
A year ago I sat in the corporate offices of ESSENCE and listened to several editors AND the mag’s president tell me that none of their readers were familiar with the Black Codes, therefore the advertisement for the new Armani fragrance wasn’t offensive. I asked these women if they knew what the Black Codes were, and if they did how could they ever let this ad run opposite the editor-in-chief’s splash page? In the end of our meeting the ladies at ESSENCE agreed to disagree with me, but I had dissected their June issue like so much the frog in high school biology. What used to be one of the magazines best issues featuring tributes to fathers and summertime grooming tips had become a rag of shenanigans.
ESSENCE hates your Blackness and they teach you to hate it too. Notice how many ads are placed for products that help you remove the markers of you disease. I am so tired of Black women with blonde hair, but ESSENCE isn’t. They also will teach you how to shop away the disease of Blackness. ESSENCE and their publishers love your money and they will try to separate you from it on almost every page.
At the ESENCE Music Festival in Houston last week, the beautiful and courageous JILL SCOTT told a symposium that the time had come to discontinue consuming pop culture entertainment that was degrading to the Black community.
“It is dirty, inappropriate, inadequate, unhealthy and polluted,” SCOTT said. “We can demand more.”
It’s a good thing that she didn’t name names, because ESSENCE mag could have been at the top of her list.
SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!
July 9th, 2006
DOOOOOOOOOM!
Last month when we were kicking it about the NIKE series of Fantastic Four inspired kicks. Someone mentioned that there was also a Doctor Doom sneaker, but since I didn’t have pics to confirm its existence I decided not to talk about it. Now that the internets is leaking some pics of the shoe we can discuss it here amongst ourselves.
The shoe is a Foamposite Pro LE. The same shoe made famous by PENNY HARDAWAY several years ago. NIKE has reissued the Foamposite in several different incarnations and colorways. I have to be honest and say that I am disappointed that this shoe isn’t in a gunmetal graphite grey with a green accent on the pods on the sole. The colorway that they are describing in the advance photos relates more to Venom than to Victor Von Doom.
Ah well, such is the lament of a nerd purist. The Foamposite is still a kick azz shoe and it’s one of NIKEs more comfortable basketball shoes. The foot platform is wide and the toebox is comfy and not crowded.
The overwhelming success of this series should prompt NIKE to consider some more collabos with comic book icons. Possibly some Spiderman SB Dunks or even a pair of QuickSilver Air Max 360s. They should drop a pair of all invisible Vision AF-1s. How about a pair of…
