Gay Girls Guide Top 10 "WTF was that?" moments from the L Word Series Finale
...."People have been asking me what I thought about the Series Finale of the L Word and the only thing that can really sum up my opinion are the words, "WTF was that?" I stopped personally re-enacting sex scenes from Season 1 to watch this bullshit....I was highly disappointed and am calling the L Word people to request my hour's worth of orgasms back - immediately...but in semi-seriousness, here is a list of "what the f*** was that" moments that I had on Sunday Night....."
When do you tell a sistafriend that she's falling short of her greatness?
We are almost 1/4 of the way through 2009, and some of us are feeling the weight of our New Year's resolutions. Some of us cheat and eat that extra piece of cheesecake and convince ourselves that Summer is still six months away. Some of us put off calling that old friend thinking that they won't notice you both haven't spoke in months...or years. Some of us haven't told that special someone "I'm sorry," or that they're special. Some of us haven't stopped to appreciate ourselves. Said, "I love me."
Thus, my reason for today's post: this weekend one of my sistafriends received word that her relationship with her boyfriend was over - via text message! As asinine a gesture as this is, my frustration arose because she felt that she deserved this treatment. She's two months away from her Master's degree, beautiful, intelligent, she knows me, [Insert more great adjectives HERE.], so chick is the bomb circa 1995 with all the bells and whistles of the 21st century. Sadly, she has since opted to wait for him to realize that he loves her.
Why?
I am clueless. I've found that this is not uncommon for many of my girls, especially my minority chicks. And with the recent upsettedness that is Rihanna vs. Chris Brown vs. the Media, I find it peculiar that women who, in my opinion, are one step away from ruling the world, have this mindset that they deserve less than their worth when it comes to their romantic life.
Ladies of AUTHENTIC, when do you tell your sistafriend that she's living below her means? In other words, what do you do, what do you say when your girl is cheapening herself and denying her greatness?
Remember that Authentic chick, Denice Frohman we featured before??? She's been doing a lot with her poetry and music and here's one more time you can catch her LIVE...if you are in NYC
“You may encounter defeats, but you must not be defeated.” - Maya Angelou
This Southern belle born Marguerite Ann Johnson on April 4, 1928 has such a love affair with the pen. Poet/author/playwright/actress/producer/[Insert more impressive slashes and hyphens HERE], Ms. Angelou is active in the Civil Rights Movement (notice the tense of “is” – we’re still pushing for more rights to be right and to be righted by the right. Follow me?). She’s also challenged the realm of writing with her novels and poetry. This woman defies boundaries. A phenomenal woman she is.
Incredible voice, extraordinary talent...she is where music is going. Unavailable to categories and labeling..she creates based upon feeling. Some call it experimental, i call it pure musical geeeenius :)

Happy March, AUTHENTIC! March marks the celebration of Women's History. AUTHENTIC's hand is on the pulse of this history. A history marked with Michelle Obama (First Lady of the United States of America), Venus and Serena Williams (tennis professionadas and moguls), Alicia Keys (singer/songwriter/actress), Queen Latifah (singer/actress/producer), and Fatima Robinson (choreographer). Women's History month 2009 is the start of a redefinition and reclamation of feminine energy and its works. Change and the transcending of the shackles of insensitive patriarchy, - Women of AUTHENTIC - you make this happen.
However, there is still much to be done.
In Brazil, a nine-years old girl is pregnant with the twins of her step-father. He is said to have molested her since she was six years old.
And (below), a confined young girl in Seattle, Washington, is beaten senseless by TWO officers.
And my friend Nikki, just witnessed the trial of her rapist be put on hold...because HIS family had unexpected circumstances. Apparently, the fact that their son raped a woman doesn't warrant any humanity. Nikki's life is still in this insecure boy's hands, and his parents are not willing to acknowledge this very big piece of information.
Thus, change must come. Through art, through song, through word, humanity and compassion must overcome the recession of postive energy our world is experiencing. Obama may offer a bailout for our pockets, but it is up to us to bail out our hearts and minds. Dear women of AUTHENTIC, please extend your hand in change and fight to extinguish the blatant inconsistencies of our government, our communities, and our homes.
