  • A Bougie Black Love Story

    When I first saw these engagement photos of friend of VSB (and awesome writer) Brandelyn Castine and her fiancee — captured by J.A. Washington — two thoughts came to mind: 1. These are awesome! I need to reach out to her and see if she’s cool with me posting them on VSB. 2. Wait…why didn’t I…

This included a spectacular 78 degree day on Saturday; the memory of which makes the 29 degree morning we’re currently experiencing particularly cruel. Fuck you, Pittsburgh. Fortunately, Saturday also happened to be the day a flag football game…

  • Who Are Your Writer Crushes?

    Writer Crush: A person whose words you enjoy reading so much that you start to like them. It’s not necessary a romantic/sexual thing — you’re not infatuated and you won’t be private messaging them haikus or anything — but you developed an affinity without ever actually meeting them.

  • Shit Bougie Black People Love: 27. Unprotected Sex

    Bougie Black People are known for many things. Selfies on bike trails. Coed kickball games. Groupon. Alcoholism. Day parties. Running for Congress. Pescetarianism. Tapered jeans.
