They must’ve also really trusted you. My parents insisted on accompanying me to every concert I can recall through at least my sophomore year of high school (though they allowed me to go to theatrical performances with friends, so hmmm...).

That’s so weird, because I know what Vonetta McGee looks like, and she didn’t look like her to me, either! But thank you!

It’s supposed to be 50 shades for 50 shades, so I’d guess they’re meant to be pretty complimentary/perfect matches. I prefer a shade lighter for concealer when I’m wearing foundation, and the same shade with full coverage when I’m not.

With you on the red/yellow tones, which is why I’m excited to check out these new shades.

I almost included it, tbh.

Jackie was referenced, amongst others.

“Conch” is a type of shellfish.

Love you. Mean it.

I so appreciate this—and you, Anne. As a fellow staff member, I always feel that those on our Root crew who report on the news daily have the most difficult tasks, because the devastation is so real, and often unrecognized. The unwavering grace, humanity, integrity, honesty and even humor you all demonstrate heartens…

Yo, your greys are EPIC today! I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry for humanity.

No. Lupita was hit or miss for us this year.

Love Janelle, but we only had so many slots, and some other women won out.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOOOOOOOOL

You actually think points are yours to grant and deduct. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOOOOOOOOL....

I’m fully content with reading the Wikipedia synopsis and moving on with my life. I’m not with the shits, and this looks like it.

Real talk? I edited this post, and was like, “NOPE.”

Thank you—and many happy returns!

The Schomburg is excellent, so it deserves a mention. No worries!

I focused mainly on art museums for this (and the sake of my sanity), but yes! I love and welcome the additional suggestions.

Someone called it a dancer club sandwich, and I still haven’t recovered.
