Always a pleasure getting to catch up with drag performer and mutant fanatic D’Manda Martini, especially when we’re talking about everything from ‘3 Ninjas’ to the beauty of the walkman, but in our chat, we also got into ‘Bébé's Kids.’ Growing up no one other than the other two Black kids in school knew what...

The year was 1991 and it would take another couple before ‘Drop Dead Fred’ became my favorite movie of all time. So despite that year delivering ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ ‘Bryan Adams, and ‘Step by Step,’ there was nothing that came about in 1991 that’s closer to my heart than the following movie because as...

Still in the early stages of understanding life in 1990, pop culture was far from my radar. I was babbling words and apparently always asking “why,” a favorite word of mine both then and now. So I wasn’t aware of ‘Captain Planet’ when it premiered in September of that year. Thankfully though, we had yet... Continue Reading →
Last year co-active life coach Karen Jane DeWitt and I bonded over our love of the blonde bombshell of the ‘90s for youths who wanted nothing more than to spend their Scholastic Book Fair money on anything and everything revolving around Hanson.

Seventh grade was almost halfway done, my crush had no idea I was alive, and my Christmas list was stacked full of black and blue items because Backstreet Boys decided to go with a colorful title for their November 2000 release. Life was good, but it was made all that better after I picked up... Continue Reading →
Back when you had to pay for cable and pretty much just watched the same handful of things almost everyone you knew did, life felt simpler. Today there are countless streaming services on top of cable and it’s just - a lot. This means that we’re being introduced to a shit ton of new TV... Continue Reading →
If there is one thing I’m not, it’s a career woman. Perhaps it spawns from living in Los Angeles for 16 years and people always leading what, “What do you do?” instead of, “How are you?” It could also very well be that Maddy Perez is a spirit animal of mine as Ru once said... Continue Reading →
I started watching ‘Never Have I Ever’ because 1. I love teen comedies and 2. It was from the mind of my writing muse, Mindy Kaling. I kept on watching because, holy hell, it’s addicting. The way it gets you invested in the love life of Devi is wild, and in her quest for teen... Continue Reading →
