Sexpot Meets Goddess: Drinks with Abiola Abrams
March 24th, 2008 ·
I reject the term “relationships expert” because it sounds silly, and I’m a don’t believe anyone is an expert at relationships. Here’s my theory: if you’re doing it right, you’re a constant work in progress. So, I prefer the title sexpot. I’m a writer | blogger | editor | sexpot who uses the moniker “Funky Brown Chick.” Pressing our lips to glasses filled with margaritas, fellow brown-skinned writer — that goddess Abiola Abrams from BET — and I talked about race, sexuality and what it means to be “black enough” in America today. Read the details when my piece at Nerve magazine is published online later today. And, if you live in New York, drop by Abiola’s 6:00 pm reading tonight at Barnes & Noble at Lincoln Center!!
I’ve got race & sexuality on the brain because I recently read the Racialicious interview with Gawker’s former brown-skinned advice columnist (now at Radar) Tionna Smalls. If you missed the drama, here’s the recap. Gawker hired a black woman whose pieces were flush with grammatical errors, Black Vernacular English and straight-talk lessons learned from “the hood.” Given that Gawker’s audience and writing staff are predominantly white hipsters, people wondered if Tionna’s presence on the scene was a minstrel show. (Read: Who Played Whom? Gawker Media and Tionna Smalls.)
Now, for those who read FUNKYBROWNCHICK.com on a regular basis, you know we usually celebrate Manly Monday at the top of the week. We’ll have Testicle Tuesdays tomorrow instead. Topic? Anderson Cooper’s Sunday night 60 Minutes interview with David Beckham. It was delicious. The Coop and Becks together? Hey, I heard Barack Obama’s speech on race! I’m 100% willing to join that threesome and let the interracial healing begin! ;) Details tomorrow.

Hi, I'm 
you just do what you do and the rest will take you thru….
now…. as for that pix…. gee…. wish that I was in NYC for
that ….. am going to be in a turgid state for the rest of the
day…. on the other hand ( no pun there…) if you stay in the game long enough you will get to know all the ins and
out ( there ..I said it..) of life and love…. and if you love
people like you do,then you will what you do to keep
everyone in the game of life….. and with all it’s ups and
down ( oops… ) your job is to clarify all for our learning
curve….. and that you do sooooo well…
PS: any more pixs……
lamesabassman…. oh .. how I hate to get up in the AM
Brown-skinned sexpots of the world unite!
Since when do sexpots see color??
I would like a pot of sex, please. Much more interesting than the pot of coffee I usually have.
Thanks for the love, lets talk more… tionnatsmalls@yahoo.com.
sexpot?!…..
to quote bernie Mack…..
“stir it like coffee….”
I’ve been willing to let the healing begin with you the second after I stumbled in to the House of Funky Brown all those months ago.
Course I’ve been working that healing since ninth grade, but I’m certain that with you it would be even better.
By the by, thanks for the e-card, and congrats on the 100,000 hits a month. (To make you feel even better, I have received a whopping 4,000 hits in *10 months*.)
LOL! “Let the Interracial healing begin.” Anderson Cooper YES. There is something very sexy about that man. Becks never did it for me though. He’s a little to…I don’t know. I do love his thighs though. Yummers.
sexpots …… if it looks good …. have a taste….. and while
tasting ….. enjoy the menu… and as with all menus….
at times… it PAYS to be picky….
lamesabassman…… pass the Gray Poupon….please..
@ lamesabassman: That’s the only pic I have of Abiola & me. Rest of my pics are on flickr. User: funkybrownchick.
@ Desiree: YES!!!
@ Aka “Paul”: Since always, silly. We’re not blind! ;)
@ Baba Doodlius: :)
@ Ms. Smalls: No prob, and yeah let’s def talk more! Just shot you an email.
@ dkzone: :)
@ grampa: “Stumbled in to the House of Funky Brown.” You’re too much! :)
@ Baba Doodlius: I’ve been blogging for three years, but I soooo remember the days of 5-10 visitors. Happily, some of the early folks still lurk & comment. I’m just happy that folks stop by and read stuff that I’ve written — no matter they started coming. :)
@ Oreo: The Coop is absurdly sexy. Did you see that Earth special thing where he singlehandedly took on nature’s beast and convinced the world that a green planet is the sexiest color EVER!
@ lamesabassman: I’ve been picky for decades. Not sure how it’s paying for me, but I’m happy. That’s all that counts.
it pays by giving you joy/pain/ closure/love or whatever
gets you thru the night…. it’s the juice that gets better
every time you flex/talk/ love/get some/ get none,yet
still you grow… knowing all the time… that what’s best
for you … is just around the corner…. waitin’ on you to
bust a move… and you are so happy to do so… being picky give you an edge … for you know going in what
you want/need/ desire…. and if they got it…. or dont
how does it feel… 2 fade the fates and roll you point…
lamesabassman…… viva Las Vegas…..
wow…. have been to the site you said to go….. there are so many layers to you…. and each one glows…..
when you are on point… you are all the way live….
when are you comin’ to Cali…. for the west could your best test…. yeah … I hail for Brooklyn NYC…BedStuy..do
or die tryin’… but Cali is a whole other smoke… and am
sure that you would love….. a taste…
lamesabassman….. next stop: Pink’s for chillidogs….
California is a beautiful place. Mountains. Beaches. Great weather. The west coasters have a good life.
but…. we also have Arnold….. pray for us….
lamesabassman….. I’ll be back…..
