Diary of a Nappy-Haired Houle

I have a mane that is the result of a mother with pre-pregnancy curls and a father with what might only be described as a JewFro. He brushes his hair with a pick, so is it any wonder that my hair begins to lock after about four days?

A friend of mine came up with a great saying during a Californication marathon: A Booty Call is Masturbation with another person. Wow, I was stunned.

The Beauty Benchmark

Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but the concept of beautiful bodies is in the mind of the media. Or is it? Maybe what is considered beautiful is partially innate just as color is. Take a 2-year-old child for example. She is raised by progressive parents, who gave her a hyphenated last [...]
