Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty coming to the UK? →
I couldn’t make it to New York to see this show at the Met, so why am I thinking I can easily fly to London if the show is put up there? Hoping when if I do I can somehow get Nite to join me.

"Is the Black Dandy the 'Civilized' Black Man?" →
Throughout the piece, “dandyism” is posited as classy, refined, and aspirational, while “hip hop style” is imprecated as unrefined, coarse, and well, uncivilized.

This is Patrick riding a penny-farthing. He had quite a bit of energy after we wandered around the Chicago History Museum.
I don’t understand how I can be so tired when all I’ve been doing…

PS: The episode I’m watching now features a woman who met her fiancé the previous year… when he was engaged to another woman. “I guess the thing that was missing in his relationship… was me!”
Here's my plan:

Convert to Hinduism or some other religion that believes in reincarnation.
Die within the next few months.
Be reborn as Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s baby.
Profit.

Cher is a damn genius

That performance of Tonight is still one of the best things I’ve ever seen.
Truth. I wish Burlesque had been half as fun as that West Side Story tribute.

night 2 with the bro bros
The bro bros met me at work at the end of the day. We discussed going to a movie, but decided instead to head home to watch “Project Runway” and eat Korean fried chicken from Crisp.
I would have taken a picture of the chicken for y’all but we demolished it in about 2.5 seconds.
Earlier in the day, we had had lunch at Frontera Fresco. I ate this gigantic bowl of tortilla soup:

night 1 with the bro bros
Their flight was delayed due to lightning over Lake Michigan.
Which was sort of okay as it gave me more time to do what still ended up being a half-assed job of cleaning. Are there classes I can take? I’m being for serious. I need a refresher.
Literally, I came across a huge box of CD’s and I was all “HOW DO U WORK?”
Between the two of them, they have three small-ish...
