Hi.

I'm heartbroken.

JUST BECAUSE

BETTER LEFT UNSAID: COME BACK WHEN YOU'RE HOT

I remember when That's So Raven aired, do you?

We had crazy FULL sized Raven

The minute I saw that show, I immeadiately felt better about being 13 and having DDD cup sized breasts (Yes, In real life.)

This is me, remember lol

Anyhow, I begged my mother to let me watch it (she didn't want me too, I won't get into why) But I begged her because for the first time ever, I felt like I could be beautiful too! Of course I was darker than Raven but I felt like I favored her...But Raven after the That's so Raven ended (As she progressively put on more weight) Raven fell off the radar. People stopped talking about her.

But then she came back like this

She's been ALL OVER webspace. I mean everywhere. The internet can't get enough of her. That really says a lot about the society we live in.............Now she can really feel like she belongs in Hollywood. Now we know why everyone who starts off fat in Hollywood drops a 100 lbs and is welcomed and congratulated and presented with unadulterated praise. Raven Looks Good. No lie.

But I think the way I felt at 13 matters. So Raven Symone, should you ever come across this blog

Thank you.

BETTER LEFT UNSAID: DON'T HAVE CONDOMS

In and Interview with Elle,  Will.I.Am said,

ELLE: If you walked into a woman’s house, what one item would convince you that you weren’t compatible?
W: If she had condoms in her house, that would just fuckin’ throw me off. That’s just tacky.
ELLE: Well, okay, I could see if she had a candy bowl full of them on the coffee table. But if she’s got a few in a drawer, wouldn’t that simply suggest she’s health-conscious?
W: I just think, like, if you’re into someone and you guys get to that level, then that’s something you should converse about together and say, “Hey, maybe we should get some.

Sister Toldja had an extensive response (Read Here) but this just about sums up my feelings about the situation

Keeping condoms in the house is not the signature behavior of a slut; it is a responsible action taken by a sexually active person. Whether you are in a monogamous relationship, sleeping around all over town or simply open to the possibility of having sex at some point, it’s good to be prepared. Men have been known to keep condoms not simply in their homes, but in their cars and wallets. This isn’t about suggesting that the onus of providing protection should be on the part of the man (or that a couple should purchase all prophylactics together); this is basically saying that women should not be able to make the decision to have sex as casually as men can. And that’s nonsense. -Sister Toldja

...Assumptions are so tempting to make.
If the sister is giving it up then and there....then ok perhaps you are validated in your opinion she is a "hoe" but if she simply invites you in the space with no innuendo or intention of sex...what you worried for? Get to know her and maybe you'll find that she rather be protected than sorry and I'll take that before "hoe with no regrets" anyday.

PROTECT YOURSELF!!!!
