My Testimonials

April 16, 2006
I have one regret regarding my relationship with Eve... why the hell didn't I meet her sooner?!??!?!?! ::shakes fist at the sky::
She is my biggest cheerleader, my best constructive critic, and one of my most loved. What started off as a dance partnership/business became a wonderful loving friendship. I count her as part of my intended family. My vocabulary is lacking in superlatives to describe the depth of emotion & respect I have for her.
Love You********************************************

I feel as though I've known this "Beautiful Diva" for a long time.

Your beauty shines through your words. We are connected through dances of our Ancient Mothers of time and beyond.

The Nubian Divas plan to visit Florida next year.

I hope to have the joy of dancing with you in the future.

Eve is such a fun person to know! It is impossible to choose what I like best about her, until I see a pic of those dreamy eyes.... Sigh.

Phenomenal Woman
by
Maya Angelou


Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.








I am a fully three-dimensional woman who's various interests reflect complexity of my nature. I'm a bellydancer, an unrepentant sacred whore and sensualist, a woman of African and Native American descent, a femme dyke, and a proudly curvy fat chick. I'm experiencing the joys of growing into my identities as a lovingly sadistic top and a loving, devoted, complex, and sometimes angry bottom.


Many of the communities that I'm immersed in believe that admitting enjoyment of one's sensuality is a detriment to their cause, but I couldn't disagree more. To enjoy art, to feel anger over injustice, or to just simply be yourself, is to enjoy life and the passion, pain, and pleasures it brings to your senses without restraint, reservations, or regrets.


Bellydancing is one of the main driving forces behind my continual growth as a woman who's centered spirtually, sensually, mentally, and physically. Not all the lessons I learn from this dance are pleasant and uplifting, but they all help make me a stronger woman who enjoys the delicious and decadent taste of life. My muses are Maya Angelou, Oshun, Alice Walker, Ella Fitzgerald, and Fifi Abdo as their artistic expression reflects the beauty found in the darkness of my skin, the darkness of my nature, and the darkness of my strength.

Being the libidinous and ultra squishy Scorpio that I am, I began to think of better ways to deal with the so-called "trauma" of the extra luscious layers that many of us gain during holiday feasting. First a little song sung in melody of that classic "C is for Cookie by the timeless composer Cookie Monster Esq.


Ahem.....here it goes! Sing along people!

F is for fucking, that's good enough for me (3X)
Oh, fucking, fucking, fucking starts with F

F is for flogging, that's good eno... read more

DISCLAIMER: THIS ISN'T A CRY FOR HELP OR ATTENTION. THIS POST IS MY WAY OF VENTING AND LETTING OFF STEAM. THIS IS MY BLUES WOMAN WAIL


To stave off the sick chick boredom blues, Beloved and I sat down and finally watched the much praised movie 'Shortbus'. I was really excited about seeing it because all of our friends' and various acquaintances had sang its praises as a movie that was beautiful and touching in its sexual honesty and complexity. The movie, they chirped, was uniq... read more

decided to take an extra dance lesson Tuesday because I didn't have time for much dancing last week with all of the prep for Pride weekend and by the end of the lesson I was in tears and I found myself unable to stop crying. The tears started when my teacher pointed out that as I was dancing, I was either constantly hunched over or my arms were hanging at an awkward position by my side. She said that this was an indication that I was feeling a sense of shame and discomfort about my breasts... read more

Noah's Arc Rant


It was announced today that Noah's Arc was cancelled and I strangely feel like I've been kicked in the stomach. I'm angry, frustrated, and sad because it feels like once again the needs and issues queers of color have been shuffled to the background by mainstream (ie white) gay hollywood. In a day and age where anti-black admitting policies are still being practiced by gay clubs everywhere and people still credit Madonna with voguing (Madoona and countless other artis... read more
