When Stumbling Out of the DBR Matrix These Are Great First Steps

Or you might consider this part of your escape route when deciding which pill to take when you decide to get out of **DBR-Ville!!

This scene is from the television show The Game. I have mixed feelings about this show overall but this was an excellent example of what a woman should be doing with her life. [...]

How Black Women Stuck In the DBR Matrix Fall Down The Rabbit Hole Even Further

We don’t have to stay in the Matrix.

I have a lot of sympathy for the young woman featured in this segment. This was from a Tyra Show episode on racial perception. It had the usual discriminatory attitudes and inflammatory behavior but this woman is clearly hurting and very very confused. She’s adopted the negative attitudes [...]

Reality Star Ruby Discusses Her Life

Reality tv star Ruby was featured on a segment of the Wendy Williams Show last week. I’ve been pleasantly surprised that the tv version of Wendy is much more personable than radio Wendy. She’s had some interesting guests on. During this interview Ruby discusses her 300 lb. weight loss, the struggles of changing your palate and [...]

Polanski, Phillips, Kelly and Other Would-Be Predators

Well this is interesting. Director Roman Polanski has been detained by the Swiss gov’t after he flew there to attend a film festival. The United States will possibly seek his extradition after he fled the country during his rape trial in the 1970’s. This is one case that has always “baffled” me. I always felt as [...]

Phillips Incest Allegations Continued Discussion with Chynna Phillips

I’m glad I decided to watch yesterday’s Oprah Live episode because she had a follow-up interview with Mackenzie Phillips. They discussed the reaction from family and friends. Mac’s sister Chynna sat on Oprah’s stage to publicly declare she believed the allegations as they had been revealed years earlier. What else can I say?

My [...]

Mackenzie Phillips Follow-Up Interview on Oprah: Responses From Bijou & Michelle Phillips

After much public scrutiny and some serious blowback from family members, Mac returns to Oprah to defend herself. Who’d expect everyone to be happy with the public airing of such foul behavior? We cannot discount the fact that she has a story to tell even if it’s one of such unpleasant details. Apparently it will be [...]

Old School Friday – OSF Tribute

Oh I really like this week’s meme! It’s TRIBUTE WEEK!!! WooT!

I want to include so many music artists but this would be the LONGEST post ever.

The premiere song restylist of our (ok my mom’s) generation. Nobody can touch Aretha Franklin.

My favorite gypsy rock-r-lady who writes songs that tear your insides out – Stevie Nicks.

In honor of [...]

Mackenzie Phillips From Rape to "Consensual" Incest – The Ways Women Compromise to Cope With Abuse

“I can’t be the only one.”

So says the daughter of Mamas & Papas founder John Phillips. Deconstructing the source of unresolved traumas that initially led her to abuse drugs as a teenager and up until now seems to be a never-ending process for Mackenzie. In this clip from her interview with Oprah she says she [...]

American Writers & Artists Series with Tom Kavala

Thanks to Muslim Bushido for introducing me to this great website. The focus of AWAI is to help people develop skills to acquire financial security, independence and freedom. Like many things floating around in the universe we should take what’s useful to us and has appeal to our particular needs and discard the rest. I hope [...]

Tyra Show "Hell To Pay" Gay Teen Exorcism pt 2

This is the follow-up to this morning’s post. I finally got my video to download and wanted to add the interview with the 16 year old Jeffrey as well as the admission by the “Prophet” minister who says he’s going to burn in hell that she herself has been attracted to women. Of course she’s been [...]
