about this blog

"for colored girls who drink cosmos when suicide seems too gauche" contains my post-soul, POMO, 3rd wave, hip hop boho meanderings. i have to thank my sistafriend lynn for the ntozake shange inspired witty turn-of-phrase that heads this column.

despite my reverence of the blues, this ain't no sad ole blog. for me, the blues is passion and desire as much as it is despair. it's all the happy-sad that makes life interesting.

i've also incorporated some previous blog posts from my former column "black notes." unfortunately that blog became overrun with obnoxious links to porn and viagra sites, hence the switch. those archives are condensed here for your reading pleasure.

cheers
