Diddy Has Only The Most Erudite Observations About Brazil: “Ass!” http://www.twannahines.com/items/view/10320/diddy-has-only-the-most-erudite-observations-about-brazil-ass

Man, Diddy has not been getting a lot of love from this blog (well, this blogger) today, has he? Poor man can’t catch a break. But despite the fact that he has some…interesting spelling choices, you have to hand it to him: Diddy has alerted the world of a dangerous new situation happening in Brazil as we speak, via Twitter: BRAZIL!!!!! Ass! Ass! Ass! Phat round beautiful ASSES!!!!! Everywhere! Its a ASS suniami!!!!!!!! I think I like it here!!! Lol I know what you’re thinking, readers: “An ass tsunami? In Brazil? How have no other news outlets picked up the story of this surely devastating natural disaster?” And I couldn’t agree more. That this brave man took a moment to Twitter the news - while fleeing the incredibly fast, all-consuming wall of ass that raced inland from the beautiful Brazilian coastline, crushing houses and people in an unending torrent of gluteal destruction - to let the world know about the horror he was witnessing is truly a testament to the power of Twitter and the concern for human life of one Sean Combs. Ass tsunamis: nature’s sexiest weapon.

(PS - Do you hear that, Roland Emmerich? That’s your future calling:

Get on it.)

The first time I heard the term BBW, I thought it meant "Beautiful Black Woman." At 5'5", 118 lbs and very proud of my heritage, I started telling people I was a BBW. (Sid from the blog "Siddity in the City" corrected my erroneous mind and told me BBW means BIG AND BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.)

I recently read an article ( http://tinyurl.com/6h7cur ) that said overweight women have more sex. Surprised, I put it out on blast via twitter and a bunch of people responded. For example, @writingdirty said bigger was better, @vivrant_thang said good things came in small packages.

I'd love to hear YOUR thoughts. Please email me using the "Contact" tab above. Tell me your opinions about BBW sex. Pros, cons, have you been on both sides of the fence, etc. Be sure to link to your blog, twitter or whatever because I wanna give credit where credit's due and plug your stuff.

SEND YOUR THOUGHTS NO LATER THAN THURSDAY, 11/6, 11:59 P.M. I'll write a post about it and we'll duke it out on http://www.funkybrownchick.com on Friday, Nov. 7th.

THANKS!!

Sex Files: Listen to Me on MAXIM Radio! http://www.twannahines.com/items/view/26/sex-files-listen-to-me-on-maxim-radio

I’m going to be a guest on MAXIM Radio’s “Sex Files” tomorrow. You know MAXIM magazine, right? On Twitter, I once rhetorically asked: “Does it make me a bad woman if I admit I sometimes like men’s magazines more than I like women’s magazines?” I got the following response from an absolutely fabulous sex blogger on the West Coast: “If men’s magazines treated women as stupid as women’s magazines do, feminists would get pissed off.” VERY interesting. So, yeah, I love men’s magazines. Esquire? They rock. What’s more? They’re down with brown women; they recently named Halle Berry The Sexiest Woman Alive. Oooh, remember Halle’s other Esquire cover and that YouTube video about it? Hawt! Hawt! Hawt! But, it’s not just about Esquire — though they certainly hold a special place in my heart. (I swear: if Esquire magazine was a man, I’d fuck it.) Other men’s mags like GQ, Details, Best Life, MAXIM and the rest of the bunch publish really sexy articles about interesting topics that affect the lives of men. They provoke. See GQ magazine’s article “Will You Be My Black Friend?” They question. See Best Life’s article “Autism Roulette” that helps fathers decide whether they should vaccinate their children. And, what’s more? They (often) do a helluva a better job featuring black women, latinas and Asian women on their magazines’ pages than women’s magazines do. MAXIM recently showed British hottie Thandie Newtown much love. Speaking of MAXIM … let’s jump off the pages and get back to the radio show.

I’m so thrilled to be a guest on Sex Files tomorrow at 2pm EST. What’s even better? Judy McGuire, yes THAT fucking Judy McGuire, will be there too. Her stuff rocks!!! The topic of tomorrow’s show is: “What We Say About You When You’re Not There.” MAXIM radio’s resident sexologists Amy Spencer and Anna David had this to say about the show: “Girls talk. This isn’t exactly a shocking revelation. But what, exactly, are we saying to our friends about you? Are we spilling every last detail of what happened between the sheets? Or are we remaining mum on the sex stuff and dissecting every aspect of your personality? Who better to ask than those who’ve made a career out of writing about their mishaps and joys on the dating scene?” If you wanna listen to the show but you don’t have Sirius Radio, I have a teeny tiny little secret for you. Shhhhhh, a little birdy told me you can get a free 3-day trial!!!!! (Actually, I guess it’s not that big of a secret; they advertise that little detail openly on MAXIM Radio.) So, if you sign up today, you should probably be all set to listen to me tomorrow. Cool, huh? Sex Files http://www.sirius.com/maximradio Live on Sirius Maxim Channel 108, Wednesday @ 2:00 pm EST / 11:00 am PST. Rebroadcast is at 11:00 pm EST / 8:00 pm PST, all throughout the weekend and again the following Monday at 2:00 pm & 11:00 pm EST (ahem, that’s 11:00 am & 8:00 pm PST for the people out west). Folks, remember, it’s a call-in show!! Have questions? Call while I’m on the show!!!!
