Stuff Black Girls Who Wear Glasses and Sport an Afro Named Rachel likes and Sometimes Dislikes

In honor of my favorite blogs...EVER Stuff White People Like and it's spin off Stuff Black People Hate, I've decided to blog about:

"Stuff Black Girls Who Wear Glasses and Sport an Afro Named Rachel likes and Sometimes Dislikes" Clever, huh?

Beyonce

The part of me that LOVES Brazilian & NYC trannies, is the same part of me that loves Beyonce. The Glam, the Glitz, the "fuck that nigga"and "I am one fly bitch" attitude in her songs... What's not to love?

However, besides her unbeweavable-ness, I just find it fun to hate on her. And as long as she keeps making really, ridiculously bad movies (if you actually paid ten dollars to see Obsessed please go play in traffic... immediatley) and letting her mother dress her like Las Vegas Barbie, I can continue to reach my daily hate quota with no problem. Besides, I prefer getting all my hate out on celebrities so that I don't need to hate on actual people who don't merit my energy.

Traveling

I love seeing new places, learning about new cultures and trying new foods. My "Places I'd like to Visit" list is like 10 pages long however, the getting there sucks. All the little bottles, liquid laws, bad food make me crazy. And you can't even drink a glass of wine or beer to help you feel more relaxed without having to break the bank. Just one more thing about those little travel size bottles. Dammmnnnn them! I need 10 travel size bottles of conditioner to moisurize half of my Fro and its not even that big yet! It's a damn shame!

Shorts

With summer slowly but surely coming, what's better than a nice pair of shorts to go with your flip-flops? Maybe a cold Bud Lime & BBQ at the Beach with your closest friends would be nicer, but I digress. Shorts are great, ... unless you have thighs that resemble tree trunks like mine. Most jean shorts just suffocate my thighs until they're numb. Which is why I usually just stick to summer dresses. >Sigh<

Boys

Lastly and most duh worthy, stuff that black girls who wear glasses and sport an Afro named Rachel likes and sometimes dislikes are boys. They smell. They're stupid. Their annoying. But I don't mind them when they're quietly spooning me. haha.

Actually, you know, I really should be more specific. Those qualities, mostly just pertains to straight boys because gay boys are great. They smell good, are far more intelligent than your average penis and love me as much as I love them. In short, I'll happily be a fag-hag for life!

The DiverCity (diversity for my slower readers)

How come no one told me that crack resurfaced in a big way while I was in Brazil; and it resurfaced in the form a new "reality series" called The City. Now, I occasionally watched the Hills and although I enjoyed it, LC's incessant winy-ness and naivete really put me off. And don't even get me started on Spencer and Heidi's dysfunctional- dumbassedness. I think the problem with The Hills was that it lacked a true heroine; they were all superficial and stupid.

However The City has found a true heroine in sweet, smart and super trendy Whitney. That bitch has legs for days AND knows how to dress. I love that they foil her sweet nature with Olivia, the beautiful, uptown socialite (uptown girls= uptight girls). She makes the perfect, villainous, hater already scheming on Whitney's man from day one. Between the clothes, the lifestyle, the romances and being able to actually relate with Whitney's sweet & smart, no-nonsense personality, I'm totally hooked.


My only gripe: Why is Whitney in NYC, the center of the world and multi-culturality and she doesn't have not one token Asian, Black, Latina, non-white friend? FOR REAL??? The most diverse character on the show is Whitney's Australian boy toy. Not that he's not nice eye and ear candy, but if you've ever lived in NY, you know that there are plenty of fashionable Asians, mixed- race, purple people eaters in all of the NYC scenes. The Blipsters (black hipsters downtown), the OTB Asian Fashionistas (off the boat) just to name a few. Puhlease, MTV! You can do better than that!
















However, I will continue to feed my addiction watching all the past episodes on mtv.com and salivating over the clothes and shoes, praying that someone at MTV comes to their senses and asks me to be the token in the beautiful "reality" TV world where no one worries about paying rent on their million dollar Tribeca loft or thinks twice about eating at the Meat Packing's newest restaurant for a $200 entree. We can dream.

HAHAHAHA
