No, You Can’t Have Sex with Your Friends

Posted on Jan 17, 2011 in Friends and Frienemies, Relationships | 5 comments

I know what you’re thinking: Yes, I can have sex with my friends. I do it all the time. In fact, Ashton Kutcher has a movie coming out in just a few days about it. And if Ashton Kutcher say it’s okay, then it must be okay.

Well first of all you are not Julia Roberts, Meg Ryan or Natalie Portman. So if you see it in a romantic comedy, chick flick, or Ashton Kutcher movie don’t expect that to happen to you in real life. In fact, I’m starting a petition for those movies to come with a disclaimer at the beginning that says “Hey, we made this story up. It has some bits of truth in it but we mostly made it up. Your life is not going to be this way so don’t expect it to be. And if it is, that’s some freaky coincidence shit.”

How Your “Gay” Is Cock Blocking You

Posted on Oct 22, 2010 in Friends and Frienemies, Love |

Being a sassy, black woman named Princess, I attract gay men like flies. And I don’t mind it because I have a good time in gay bars, at drag shows and watching Bravo. But gay men are not accessories and they’re aren’t “your gays.” Sure it’s funny when comedians like Margaret Cho and Kathy Griffin use the term, but it’s not in real life. Most gay men don’t want to dress you or do your hair any more than any of your other friends. I bet that gay men are about as tired as women trying to force them to be their sassy gay sidekick who dresses them as I am of people trying to make me their sassy black sidekick who gives out relationship advice. Wait. Um, maybe that’s a bad example.

dearmsbitch 1 Dear Ms. Bitch: BFF Vs BF


My BFF hates my boyfriend. I’ve been best friends with her for six years and dating him for two year. No matter what he does, she has something bad to say about it. They get into stupid arguments all the time. And she refuses to even hang out with him. It’s putting a strain on my relationship with both of them. What do I do?

This Isn’t Facebook and I Don’t Give A Damn If You "Like" Me

 This Isnt Facebook and I Dont Give A Damn If You "Like" Me

I’m one of those people who you either love or hate almost immediately. Of course, everybody has the right to change their mind based on their individual interactions with me later. But the fact is I have a big personality even I’m not trying and most people develop a strong opinion about me right away. It’s been this way all of my life, so I’ve learned to accept the fact that I’m not everybody’s cup of tea. And I don’t waste my time trying to convince everyone what’s so great about me. They either get me or they don’t. This isn’t Facebook and there isn’t a “Like” button on my forehead.

How to Have a Productive Fight

Posted on Aug 8, 2010 in Friends and Frienemies, Love | 2 comments

From a lifetime of watching Jerry Springer, Ricki Lake and The Real World, so I could easily tell you how to have a fight and look like a fool on Jerry Springer, Ricki Lake or the Real World. But the problem with these kinds of fights is that nobody really wins. You both look stupid. You can’t hear what each other is saying, so there’s no way you can find common ground. And in the end, nothing has changed. Except for maybe your chance of getting any respect from anyone ever again.
