I totally need to try that! Almond is just easy and until I hear they are genetically modifying almonds, I’ll stick to it and my wonderful coconut milk.
i seriously NEVER would have thought i was bougie…even though “i don’t do” cow milk, perms, or weave…. i have a mainly pescetarian diet, an ivy league degree, in school now for a masters, have lived abroad, am multi-lingual, real elitist about the music i listen to and the books i read…SOMEHOW…i STILL…did not see it…but O.M. EFFING. GEE.
Almond milk and soy milk are the most comparable to SKIM milk, but soy milk messes with your hormones, which is why I drink almond. Rice and coconut might taste good, but their fat content is MUCH higher than regular skim and I do Weight Watcher.
I have to disagree as a lactose intolerant skim milk drinker, I tried almond milk and it is too thick. It is nothing like skim milk . And soy is yuck. Point of story I still drink skim milk because the alternatives are gross!
I think everybody is coming back to whole milk as the healthiest choice (if you aren’t lactose intolerant). I think that captures the bougie movement in a nutshell.
Are we extra-bougie e-twinsies for having this same exact thought while watching? I litchrally had a conversation at length with a roomie who was persuading me to eliminate the soy for the almond milk.
Bougie black girls I know wear weave. I don’t know about unnatural colors, the more bougie the girl, the more likely to wear weave, at least in my circles.
Exaaactly. And most likely their hair is natural underneath because they’re transitioning. Further, the hair was bought by a special “vendor” NOT the beauty supply store. If they’re going for broke, they are also keeping up some sort of documentation of their hair “journey.”
I do not know any bougie chicks who walk around with that colour hair and the tag still hanging off their weave.
That being said I’ve probably said everything in here apart from “I’m so ratchet”. Canadians don’t say that lol
I feel a little bit better, because even though I KNOW I’m bougie, I don’t say most of those things. But I do admit to vising MediaTakeOut from time to time…and I do say “Negro” a lot.
That’d be funny! a girl has to play him though.
Please show him talking about “I think women need to approach me….” then the next scene him straight icing a chick that tries to approach him. lol. Show him sending mass “hey beautiful” texts (or chats) when bored (or after being asked by 1 chick to put in ‘too much’ work). Oh and show him staying loyal to kool-aid despite the upgrade in life. lol.
Finally…an explanation from a female. So…basically… a diva dude is a cat that received zero play until he got a good job? And he’s mad and treats women like crap to get back at the female species? Is that about right?
If so…please, no video…don’t encourage dudes to admit to and embrace this foolishness.
And diva dudes are the ones that weren’t ish in college til they pledged. Then they reinvented themselves as diva dudes and acted like you should kiss their feet because they had some letter on their back.
“Seriously…they want to jock me now after they’re all old and used up. She’s 32, has slept with four guys, and expects to compete with the 25 year old virgins banging down my door? Ha!”
“All these dumb silly b***** want thugs. They don’t want a guy like me who respects women.”
I refuse to believe that shat like this transpires up in 2012…
wait a minute…what about emotional public rants after being dissed? Gotalmighty..I think i got it. Diva dude is another way to say “ol batch made ass nword” huh?
No vid-e-o…no vid-e-o…no vid-e-o…no vid-e-o…join me in the occupy verysmartbrothas.com sit in movement on this day as we celebrate the memory Dr. MLK. Either today is a slow work day or your azz is at home…tell the authors of this blog not to post a diva dude video…or else. My threat…I will tell my cousins cricket and junebug nem to come to this website instead of mocospace. I’m second generation college graduate (and don’t use either of my degrees)…third generation crazy…i got people.
If mom picks up on some seriously terrible trait, then yes, mom can be helpful. However, for diva dudes, the mom’s disapproval doesn’t have to be justified at all.
Sometimes the biggest thing between a potential great wife/ girlfriend and a diva dude is his mother and/or sister(s). I used to date a diva dude who had five sisters who apparently mollycoddled all the sense out of him.
Now, I’m not saying you’re a diva dude, but your screen name certainly sounds like one in addition to telling a woman you’re dumping her ‘cuz your mama doesn’t like her.
Ha! U r killing me Royale! I forgot “Damn that ish u did in bed was nice. You must be a hoe…oh u 26 and been with 3 dudes…see I knew u was a hoe (gotta multiply by 5)” lol
Yeah, I don’t Diva dudes are the appropriate corollary to the bougie archetype. Guys don’t secretly want to be seen as Diva dudes. While Diva Dudes are the closest thing to bougie chicks in phenotype, it doesn’t fit for the same reason that drag queens aren’t the most accurate male counterparts for females who wear overly revealing clothing even tough they may literally do the exact same thing.
I would say dudes talking about how street they are would be a better comparison.
But, a few things are a little dated. For instance, while brunch is nice (who doesn’t love mimosas?), nothing compares to having afternoon tea or High Tea. The service is impeccable, and it’s a great chance to sit, relax, and really enjoy the experience. The best place I have been to thus far is Serenity Garden and Tea House in West Palm Beach.
And Target is great for household necessities, but the best place to find accessories and clothing for a great price without jeopardizing quality is Macy’s.
I do think owning a Passport is important, however, its significance is not so much so that it would be a deal breaker in a relationship. I find that to be a bit silly.
Thai food is okay. But I prefer kimchi (Korean). Shout out to Chicago’s Chinatown!
And I am not concerned with “who’s going to be there” as much I am concerned with where the event will be held. Ratchet places attract ratchet people.
And like the video, I tend to say negro a lot. So much that I almost slipped and call my grandmother one. Thank Jesus, Mary, and Joseph she can’t hear.
I would smack a chick with her own Missoni brand Target tampon if she ever brought up high tea to me in a non-ironic way outside of England or unless she was actually from England. High Tea as a recent trend, you wacky kids.
i can’t believe how much i can identify with this video. sounds like a convo between me and my girls…. my favs : “this negro” and “i don’t really do…kappas/letters/athletes” that is so me
we totally use “negro” because we do feel uncomfortable using the other more derogatory version.
i cried tears and then died when he dropped that stuffed dog and start dragging it, i had martin new jack city episode flashbacks of hysterical laughter
LMAO! The only thing I wish y’all would have “done better” is thrown some outdoor sound under the dog walking shot. A little, “Come on, KoKo!” would have been good too (forgive my nitpicking, occupational hazard)
I would demand that my friends started calling me bougie instead. Ghetto snob sounds like you complain about restaurants not pairing their chitterlings with appropriate hot sauce.
$2700 stainless steel induction top, convection oven and warming drawer…on clearance f0r $549.63. Or there’s a non sale item introductory range oven for $630. Which one would you take?
Well Me, the high end range, assuming it’s gas, appeals to me or the chef in me. But the warming drawer’s a much…I’d go with the stainless steel. Can’t go wrong with stainless steel.
And I have nothing against coupon. Grouponing seems a bit dumb here in Philly. Nothings all that expensive to need Groupon’s for.
No Chunk, no Group-oning for me. Not too interested in a lot stuff offered in my area since I’ve done, eaten or drank said offerings at least 3 times. Couponing with groceries, sure. Anything else around here needing a coupon, naw. Philly’s fun but nothing that high post you’d need a coupon for.
Sir scientist do your research. I haven’t let go of the big moo’s milk, but I know drinking it and eating its products are not what nature intended for me. I’m not lactose intolerant, but most people on the earth are, especially the brown ones.
Speaking of science, soy milk has high levels of a molecule that mimics estrogen. Drinking too much of it can cause problems with your thyroid gland (goiter).
Almond milk has more fat and less protein per serving than skim milk, but is a better alternative than soy.
Do bougie girls smoke reefer? Seriously…I need to know. And what is the max age for being bougie? Should a 43 year old woman be carrying around a toy dog with 10 year old twins on separate leashes? Or should the dog walk and share a leash with the twins? What are the rules?
To answer your question, I think their boyfriends do on the low. (weed)
Good question on the children on a leash versus dog on a leash. How about don’t have kids if you are at an age that’s too old and tired to hold other people’s kids hand and walk with them or push the babies in a stroller or teach them not to run from you. If you feel tired just at the idea of that, then don’t have kids of your own.
That’s good enough for me. Thanks for the answer. I’m not talking about me holding leashes or kids…I’m just trippin on how the dogs look better groomed than the kids.
I gotta be a daddy some day…no damn dogs though. That’s what siblings are for. Kids can clean up after their damn selves after a while…and paint and clean stuff. What in the sam hell can a dog do? All that barking and the little phucka could literally be kicked through a goal post. I hate little dogs…PETA that shyt.
I think that bougie folks keeping tiny yipping dogs is the ultimate in passive-aggression…they have to know there precious wittle beasts growl, snarl, yip at everybody, and will pee on your shoes & will hump their sofa cushions. lmao
So after reviewing the video and careful analysis of my vocabulary and behavior, it is determined that I am indeed 61.5% bougie.
Detail of findings below:
Negative:
- I’ve never used the word ratchet..EVER!
- What in the he!! is groupon?
- Sparkling water is gross. Pooey!
- American Apparel? No thanks.
- NOT down with the swirl
Positive:
- Hell yes!….People and my dog need to do better.
- Best believe, I will call a Negro a Negro in a heartbeat.
- Turkey bacon is the ish!
- Shopping at target gets me aroused. Mmm…
- Do not tell me you are a Kappa on the first date. Wait until I like you first.
- Moscato IS a dessert wine. Rappers got Negros drinking it in the club. SMH
- I DO care about keeping my number down
- Why would someone call me bougie? I listen to goon music, don’t mind getting my hair wet and can booty shake like a video chick.
Ummm yeah, no. I don’t really do bougie anymore. Nonetheless, the video really resonated with me as I just observed two mid twenty AA women in Nords making all of these statements in that same valley girl twang as they strolled around. SN they eventually left empty handed. I don’t do window shopping either.
YES! YES! Moscato is a dessert wine nothing irritates me more when I see someone (fb status) talking about they’re going to get full (drunk off of) of that Moscato at the club tonight. It’s a dessert wine!!!!
I KNOW!!! Non conformist hippies drinking a certain kind of alcoholic beverage without fulfilling the post entree dietary requirements demanded by the long standing social norms of a society on another continent just because they paid for it. Drinking it just because their biological make up predisposes them to enjoying sweet beverages. Don’t listen to your brain, listen to society and buy some delicious and setting appropriate vodka.
People’s choice of beverage and genocide really grind my gears.
HA! I know right. i hate when people hate on people for preferring dessert wine in any setting. It tastes good! And doesn’t go well with actual deserts in my experience. Doesn’t mean Im dumb about wine(s). Doesn’t mean I haven’t been on dessert wines (i.e. various types of moscato) since WAY before it was popularized in R&B and rap songs. lol. I also drink plum wine whether its dessert time or not. Nice buzz
Personally, I don’t think sweet wines go well with dessert. I know they’re supposed to be paired, but sweet and sweet don’t go together. Should be paired with dry. Dark chocolate with Merlot. Ice cream and creamy desserts with Savagnon Blanc or brut champagne. Flavors don’t get muddled. Doncha think?
Yep, its official. I’m definitely not bougie. Don’t say any of those things. Not a one. Dont shop at Target. Don’t use the word Negro. Don’t say I need anyone to do better. Drink whole non organic milk in my coffee. Not down with swirl, toy dogs. Don’t care about Greeks, what kinda car he drives. Don’t ask if he has a passport.
I do use Groupon and eat Thai, but I eat Chinese, Italian, Ethiopian, Jamaican, Mexican, etc.
I’ve never called myself or anything ratchet. Sp? I don’t like most things that are described as ratchet.
Thanks for clearing it up. I can sleep better now. I’m not bougie. NTTAWWT
After deep introspection, I have come to the realization that bourgie girls use the word “ratchet” (rather than “ghetto”) for the same reason that we do volunteer work on a regular basis: to stand in solidarity with our sisters and brothers yet trapped in the old country*.
Everything I have in my refrigerator right now was mentioned……Oh my god he was so cute but I’m gonna need him to do better with that hair. That hair wasn’t bougie it was ratchet!
I’ve been reading the posts via email and not visiting the site much but I couldn’t not respond to this. Even though I’m late I must admit that I had brunch yesterday, and I can think of list of people (my puppy included) that could do better. Target is my joy–I literally squealed with excitement when I saw that both of my dog’s and puppy’s on a temporary price drop yesterday!
I’m guilty of the Moscato comment and I pretty sure that’s the only reason I don’t like it. I make it a point to use ratchet every. single. day. Even though I don’t do cold I love pea coats, scarves, hats, and gloves. Winter accessories (usually from Target) makes the lower temperatures more bearable.
Umm LOL!! And ole boy was kinda cute! ijs LOL! I love it@
Agreed he is kinda cute….on topic I know Im bougie def said like 90% of the stuff in that video good job Champ…
lmao
It was those beautiful lips of his
OMG!!! HEEE-LARE!! I must say, Soy milk is out, it’s all about the Almond Milk!
i dont do soy milk anymore. and i dont do almond milk period. im on that RICE milk!
I totally need to try that! Almond is just easy and until I hear they are genetically modifying almonds, I’ll stick to it and my wonderful coconut milk.
Coconut Milk!
Almond milk tastes like crap seriously. Soy or coconut milk please
Coconut milk is where its at!
Lactaidmilk…30+.
Hmmmm…coconut milk is delicious. I take it in my coffee. Be careful consuming too much soy.
yesssss to rice milk!
OMG!!!!
i have been in denial of my bougie!!!!
i seriously NEVER would have thought i was bougie…even though “i don’t do” cow milk, perms, or weave…. i have a mainly pescetarian diet, an ivy league degree, in school now for a masters, have lived abroad, am multi-lingual, real elitist about the music i listen to and the books i read…SOMEHOW…i STILL…did not see it…but O.M. EFFING. GEE.
i’m bougie!!!
wowwwwwww…i really get it now.
ok. i’m done.
OMG now that’s hilarious! But we live and we learn. Now you know you’re bougie, and learning to accept and live with it. Oh happy day!
I agree…eww soy milk. It’s almond or rice milk!
Almond milk and soy milk are the most comparable to SKIM milk, but soy milk messes with your hormones, which is why I drink almond. Rice and coconut might taste good, but their fat content is MUCH higher than regular skim and I do Weight Watcher.
I have to disagree as a lactose intolerant skim milk drinker, I tried almond milk and it is too thick. It is nothing like skim milk . And soy is yuck. Point of story I still drink skim milk because the alternatives are gross!
The most comparable in fat content. And for me, I don’t find almond milk thick. But perhaps it depends on the brand.
I think everybody is coming back to whole milk as the healthiest choice (if you aren’t lactose intolerant). I think that captures the bougie movement in a nutshell.
Yay!
ALMOND MILK! /
Are we extra-bougie e-twinsies for having this same exact thought while watching? I litchrally had a conversation at length with a roomie who was persuading me to eliminate the soy for the almond milk.
Agreed, almond milk… and yes, i’ve said several of those things.
Its all about the Hemp Milk ladies, Almond & coconut is so 2010,lol
OMG!!!! Ok, I’m just gonna stop fighting it. I guess I’m bougie LOL.
1. He was cute. 2. Do bougie Black girls wear weaves in unnatural colors?
Do bougie black girls wear weave?
lol…my immediate first thought when clicking play
They DEFINITELY wear weave.
Bougie black girls I know wear weave. I don’t know about unnatural colors, the more bougie the girl, the more likely to wear weave, at least in my circles.
Yep, you just can’t tell. AKA, they wear it the way it’s supposed to be worn. Duh. lol.
*lmao* yep!
None of that look like they stole the hair off someone’s doll and put it on their head.
Yes! And only the 100% human hair weave from organically raised Indian girls.
lmao. YES to the organically raised indian girls
Exaaactly. And most likely their hair is natural underneath because they’re transitioning. Further, the hair was bought by a special “vendor” NOT the beauty supply store. If they’re going for broke, they are also keeping up some sort of documentation of their hair “journey.”
lmao how’d you know??
also the hair was bought by weight not by package!
I paused my 50 Cent for this guys. I’m back to 50 Cent now.
you know i love it!!! EVERY single thing ive said at least once, if not A THOUSAND times. but im not bougie doe, im ratchet! LOL
so glad i got to peep the vid before errybody else!!! bougie bishes be on that #exclusive tip! get like me
Champ, I’m gonna need you to do better lol
“Clearly”
so..was about to say that!
Clearly i’m far from bougie lol
That.was.awesome. HahaHA!
Amazeballs. I LOLed, ROTFLed and alladat. That made my night.
As long as bougie girls don’t go hiking, I’m safe.
Oh yes they do go hiking. lmao
Crap.
I do not know any bougie chicks who walk around with that colour hair and the tag still hanging off their weave.
That being said I’ve probably said everything in here apart from “I’m so ratchet”. Canadians don’t say that lol
I feel a little bit better, because even though I KNOW I’m bougie, I don’t say most of those things. But I do admit to vising MediaTakeOut from time to time…and I do say “Negro” a lot.
And I do love me some Groupon and Target. Target is darn near foreplay to me now.
So… where is the ‘sh!t diva dudes say’, video??? get on THAT
this!!!! we need this before the whole things completely dies down. diva dudes need a video
That’d be funny! a girl has to play him though.
Please show him talking about “I think women need to approach me….” then the next scene him straight icing a chick that tries to approach him. lol. Show him sending mass “hey beautiful” texts (or chats) when bored (or after being asked by 1 chick to put in ‘too much’ work). Oh and show him staying loyal to kool-aid despite the upgrade in life. lol.
Finally…an explanation from a female. So…basically… a diva dude is a cat that received zero play until he got a good job? And he’s mad and treats women like crap to get back at the female species? Is that about right?
If so…please, no video…don’t encourage dudes to admit to and embrace this foolishness.
Signed a 37y/o man.
Lol. I never thought about it that way, but you might be right. At least this describes the makings of some diva dudes.
*this*
And diva dudes are the ones that weren’t ish in college til they pledged. Then they reinvented themselves as diva dudes and acted like you should kiss their feet because they had some letter on their back.
All I can do is laugh at this description *smh*. I don’t think ppl realize just how real this “diva dude” is so, it NEEDS to be done.
Get to it, Champ! Make it happen.

soy milk? almond milk? what’s y’all beef with cows (no pun intended)?
this was funny though.
You kid? My humor/sarcasm detector is weak . . .
Sir scientist do your research. I haven’t let go of the big moo’s milk, but I know drinking it and eating its products are not what nature intended for me. I’m not lactose intolerant, but most people on the earth are, especially the brown ones.
Speaking of science, soy milk has high levels of a molecule that mimics estrogen. Drinking too much of it can cause problems with your thyroid gland (goiter).
Almond milk has more fat and less protein per serving than skim milk, but is a better alternative than soy.
I do Organic Skim/Fat Free cow’s milk. Hits the taste point that I need, without the many many detriments of whole, soy, rice or almond milk.
Doesn’t matter what type of milk it is if it doesn’t come from the a human woman’s breast, it isn’t designed for your body.

To answer your question, I think their boyfriends do on the low. (weed)
Good question on the children on a leash versus dog on a leash. How about don’t have kids if you are at an age that’s too old and tired to hold other people’s kids hand and walk with them or push the babies in a stroller or teach them not to run from you. If you feel tired just at the idea of that, then don’t have kids of your own.
That’s good enough for me. Thanks for the answer. I’m not talking about me holding leashes or kids…I’m just trippin on how the dogs look better groomed than the kids.
I gotta be a daddy some day…no damn dogs though. That’s what siblings are for. Kids can clean up after their damn selves after a while…and paint and clean stuff. What in the sam hell can a dog do? All that barking and the little phucka could literally be kicked through a goal post. I hate little dogs…PETA that shyt.
LMAO
I think that bougie folks keeping tiny yipping dogs is the ultimate in passive-aggression…they have to know there precious wittle beasts growl, snarl, yip at everybody, and will pee on your shoes & will hump their sofa cushions. lmao
” I’m just trippin on how the dogs look better groomed than the kids.”
And um, yes, I’ve observed that! It indicates that the dog is their first baby and the kid is their second.
me too! It’s like normal sized dogs are not in style. wth?
So after reviewing the video and careful analysis of my vocabulary and behavior, it is determined that I am indeed 61.5% bougie.
Detail of findings below:
Negative:
- I’ve never used the word ratchet..EVER!
- What in the he!! is groupon?
- Sparkling water is gross. Pooey!
- American Apparel? No thanks.
- NOT down with the swirl
Positive:
- Hell yes!….People and my dog need to do better.
- Best believe, I will call a Negro a Negro in a heartbeat.
- Turkey bacon is the ish!
- Shopping at target gets me aroused. Mmm…
- Do not tell me you are a Kappa on the first date. Wait until I like you first.
- Moscato IS a dessert wine. Rappers got Negros drinking it in the club. SMH
- I DO care about keeping my number down
- Why would someone call me bougie? I listen to goon music, don’t mind getting my hair wet and can booty shake like a video chick.
I like your pro-con split. We should do brunch.
LMAO!!
I was anticipating a post about Martin Loofah the Kang today. *debbie downer sad sliding trombone noise.
LOL
I watched the video 3 times! This was HILARIOUS.
I say a lot of those things on a daily basis.
I also love Groupon and LivingSocial
Me too…they r awesome!! idk how people dont know what they are. Maybe they are only in certain areas?
The one thing I have in common with the video…I like a good martini and brunch.
This whole damn video made my day! So dead at the tag on the wig.
And this is the best you could do for king day? smdh.
It wouldn’t be a Champ post without pissing off somebody, or disappointing somebody.
Ummm yeah, no. I don’t really do bougie anymore. Nonetheless, the video really resonated with me as I just observed two mid twenty AA women in Nords making all of these statements in that same valley girl twang as they strolled around. SN they eventually left empty handed. I don’t do window shopping either.
But, Ok, i will admit that was funny, although I never say ratchet, and definitely would never dye my hair blonde or wear a blonde weave.
YES! YES! Moscato is a dessert wine nothing irritates me more when I see someone (fb status) talking about they’re going to get full (drunk off of) of that Moscato at the club tonight. It’s a dessert wine!!!!
I KNOW!!! Non conformist hippies drinking a certain kind of alcoholic beverage without fulfilling the post entree dietary requirements demanded by the long standing social norms of a society on another continent just because they paid for it. Drinking it just because their biological make up predisposes them to enjoying sweet beverages. Don’t listen to your brain, listen to society and buy some delicious and setting appropriate vodka.
People’s choice of beverage and genocide really grind my gears.
LMAO!!!
LMAO! Meech a fool!
Vodka is appropriate for any and all settings no?
HA! I know right. i hate when people hate on people for preferring dessert wine in any setting. It tastes good! And doesn’t go well with actual deserts in my experience. Doesn’t mean Im dumb about wine(s). Doesn’t mean I haven’t been on dessert wines (i.e. various types of moscato) since WAY before it was popularized in R&B and rap songs. lol. I also drink plum wine whether its dessert time or not. Nice buzz
Cole, you stupid you!
Before long, Moscato will become known as the Kool-Aid of wines. I just know it.
Personally, I don’t think sweet wines go well with dessert. I know they’re supposed to be paired, but sweet and sweet don’t go together. Should be paired with dry. Dark chocolate with Merlot. Ice cream and creamy desserts with Savagnon Blanc or brut champagne. Flavors don’t get muddled. Doncha think?
I have read this blog for over a year and never felt the need to comment on this site. But you had me at “Imma need for you to do better.” Hilarious
Yep, its official. I’m definitely not bougie. Don’t say any of those things. Not a one. Dont shop at Target. Don’t use the word Negro. Don’t say I need anyone to do better. Drink whole non organic milk in my coffee. Not down with swirl, toy dogs. Don’t care about Greeks, what kinda car he drives. Don’t ask if he has a passport.
I do use Groupon and eat Thai, but I eat Chinese, Italian, Ethiopian, Jamaican, Mexican, etc.
I’ve never called myself or anything ratchet. Sp? I don’t like most things that are described as ratchet.
Thanks for clearing it up. I can sleep better now. I’m not bougie. NTTAWWT
After deep introspection, I have come to the realization that bourgie girls use the word “ratchet” (rather than “ghetto”) for the same reason that we do volunteer work on a regular basis: to stand in solidarity with our sisters and brothers yet trapped in the old country*.
*hood
My friends and I usually substitute “urban” for ghetto whilst in mixed company. Otherwise, it’s ratchet all the way!
Everything I have in my refrigerator right now was mentioned……Oh my god he was so cute but I’m gonna need him to do better with that hair. That hair wasn’t bougie it was ratchet!
I know I’m late to the party, but when did ratchet become a “buzzword”?
Pure and utter foolishness…in a good way. I watched this about 10 times, and laughed each time.
Meanwhile, I pondered on my bougie-ness LOL
This video is giving me life right now…LOL.
I don’t really say ratchet though…that’s like a college age/southern (i think) bougie black girl saying.
I’ve been reading the posts via email and not visiting the site much but I couldn’t not respond to this. Even though I’m late I must admit that I had brunch yesterday, and I can think of list of people (my puppy included) that could do better. Target is my joy–I literally squealed with excitement when I saw that both of my dog’s and puppy’s on a temporary price drop yesterday!
I’m guilty of the Moscato comment and I pretty sure that’s the only reason I don’t like it. I make it a point to use ratchet every. single. day. Even though I don’t do cold I love pea coats, scarves, hats, and gloves. Winter accessories (usually from Target) makes the lower temperatures more bearable.
Ima need my ex-boyfriend to do better..sending my this. Talking about this is why we couldn’t be together! LOL SMH
Nice work!
My name is Deyana I attend Spelman College and I am a Bougie black girl lol!
