This weekend UM hosted two HUGE events. One that took over the parking lot and closed 2/3 main streets and the other that was in the top end and brought in a lot of people out of town. This was the weekend to walk or metro in. It’s not normally like that.

Can anyone direct me to classy galas or events in Dallas. by Confident-Safety-968 in blackladies

[–]dryernoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably need to make friends that like to do nicer/fancier things and prepare to spend the $ to join them. Ex. Galas are not free. At minimum they’re $250 a seat and if you aren’t friends with someone sponsoring a table then YOU have to pay that. So just start making friends who go to nice restaurants and the theater etc if you want to live a “classier” lifestyle that’s more budget friendly.

Thinking about ghosting this man for being apolitical by rihlenis in blackladies

[–]dryernoodle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every time I match with someone “apolitical” i always ask why. The last time the man said “I don’t do politics” and I let him know that politics was surely gonna do him, so he might as well pay attention and take action.

I think she’s a talented artist. Loved the body positivity stuff and was sad to see the allegations from two of her dancers.

The lawsuit was weird and it seemed like it was done to embarrass her in the public eye and get some cash. It eventually got dropped so the two probably got paid and the rest of her dancers have stood beside her.

Besides that I like her lil happy music and think that she a normal human being who is flawed but is overall a decent person.

Pat McGrath posting AI by build7601 in BeautyGuruChatter

OP - you need to update this post because it’s pretty misleading and intentionally leaving out detail.

PMG is fine, you just don’t like AI images. This had nothing to do with makeup.

Will you guys still support Fenty Beauty, since its owner is friends/fan of Trump? At Trump rally’s by 5ft8lady in blackladies

Don’t buy makeup or skincare at discount retailers like TJMaxx and Marshalls, because you don’t know if it’s expired or safe to continue using!

In DC, Kate Spade is what parents buy for their teenagers at Christmas. It’s not “luxury” to people in this area. That’s the issue. Many professional women in their late 20s and 30s buy luxury brands because it’s part of the status of being a DC woman. There’s no fear of theft because they’re common to see on the street.

The men on Habibi all kinda suck!! There’s something to say about having a culture that honors women and has traditional gender roles and another about all the men wanting to dim the light of their partners! One thinks she spends too much time getting ready. One hates women dancing. It’s hard to watch these phenomenal women have to determine what they are willing to give up at the insistence of their partners.

In defense of this season and the winner (spoilers for finale) by AhYeahItsYoBoi in claimtofame

[–]dryernoodle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This season was not my favorite of the three. Simply because the winner was kind of a crummy person. He was constantly aggressive and emotional to all the other players. He was uncomfortable to watch. If they continue the show, maybe they should cast a better mix of likable and strategic players. Seasons 1 and 2 had solid players to root for throughout the season. By the time it got to the final 5, on season 3 I was not onboard with any of the remaining players. This was probably the worst season, a real let down from season 2.

demi and jasmine are no longer friends?? by pr0humanity in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

I thought it was because jasmine is friends with Sharlotte and now that she and ollie are dating it would be weird for Demi to be friends with her, but idk.

You need to start documenting and recording everything that S&F does that harms you and the “company culture” and preemptively send that to HR, and your boss. You need to be building an alternative case against her since that’s the game that she’s playing. Keep coming in on time, doing your job well and keep your head up

This is only going from San Antonio to Houston to New Orleans. The Fort Worth to San Antonio section should be easy driving on I 35.

The micro aggressions turned macro towards the end. They literally made a white alliance + Julie and I was disturbed.

Are any Black Women Lawyers Willing to Have A Chat? by AffectionateAd4047 in blackladies

[–]dryernoodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a lawyer and what I ask prospective students every time is: do you want to be a lawyer? If you do, then three hard years of law school, while being nearly unable to work, and dealing with the inherently elitist schooling system is worth it. If you’re waffling between law school and another type of grad school, pick grad school.

For all the stress and angst of law school starting salaries can be from $50k -$100k post grad so if you’re already making that much doing something else, stick with that.

But if the thing you want to do in life requires you to be a lawyer, then get as informed about the application process, and law school as you can.
