Rihanna Loves Her Very Short Daisy Dukes

Rihanna has been trying to keep cool this summer wearing mostly sleeveless outfits that sometimes look like nightwear or lingerie. But for the afternoons, her go to outfit is her very short daisy dukes, also known as jorts (jean shorts).

Rihanna first stepped out in the pair of cutoff denim shorts with slits and tags up the sides on August 19 when she paired it with a black crop top while out to a New York restaurant in Greenwich Village.

Two days later, the star singer also wore the jorts for a Roc Nation charity basketball game at the Barclays Center on Thursday.

#BringBackOurGirls - Oby Ezekwesili And Her Team Hand Out Fliers In Abuja

Oby Ezekwesili and other advocates of #BringBackOurGirls have refused to give up, and are still having sit-ins at Unity Square in Abuja.

The group of protesters marked the 130th day after the abduction of Chibok schoolgirls by members of Boko Haram last April, by handing out fliers to motorists in Abuja.

I want to acknowledge Oby Ezekwesili for her consistency and being a hands on leader for the team and for continuing to motivate those that come out by being in the forefront of things.

Kudos maa'm!

Dating Naked Contestant Sues VH1 For Showing Her Naked Crotch On TV

Jessie Nizewitz, a naked reality star in VH1's Dating Naked, is suing the network, claiming they aired uncensored footage of her privates.

The New York model is filing a lawsuit against the show for $10 million, saying that following an uncensored shot of her crotch, she has been insulted and humiliated online. The scene featured Nizewitz performing a playful wrestling move on her date while both of them were naked.

The episode of the racy reality show [contestants have to be naked when they go on dates with each other] she's referring to aired on July 31.

I've been watching the show since I announced it here, and actually saw that episode but I can't remember seeing unblurred privates, TBH. But it really happened since the photo is really out there.

Morgue Attendant Admits To Having Sex With 100 Female Corpses While On Crack

A morgue attendant has admitted to having sex with up to 100 corpses while on the job, many times while the bodies were being stored for autopsies.

Kenneth Douglas, a 60-year-old Ohio resident, said he had sex with the corpses between 1976 and 1992 while working the night shift.

Douglas was convicted of gross corpse abuse in 2008 after admitting to having sex with the corpse of a 19-year-old woman who had been murdered and nearly decapitated in 1991.

In 2012, Douglas admitted to having sex with two more corpses. In the case of another murder victim, Douglas said he had sex with her corpse the day she was killed.

US Navy Dismisses African-American Woman For Refusing To Cut Her Natural Hair

This week, the Navy announced that it was discharging Jessica Sims, who been a sailor for 12-years, for “failing to obey an order to cut off her natural hairstyle.”

The military has been under scrutiny for guidelines issued in March that critics believe were discriminatory toward African-American women. Those regulations;

“specifically forbid several hairstyles popular for black women who keep their hair natural, including twists, headbands, dreadlocks, or multiple braids that are larger than a quarter-inch.” 

A former U.S. Army Major sharply criticized the regulations, noting they targeted “natural styles African American service women have been wearing for years.”

Bigger Weddings And Fewer Premarital Partners Could Lead To Better Quality Marriages

Bigger and more formal weddings can predict happier marriages, a US study has found, with clear results showing that couples who had larger ceremonies had higher-quality marriages.

They believe that marrying in front of a large number of people demonstrates greater commitment to the union while also discouraging divorce. Said lead author Dr Galena Rhoades;

“There is some reason to believe that having more witnesses at a wedding may actually strengthen marital quality. We try to keep our present attitudes and behaviours in line with our past conduct. The desire for consistency is likely enhanced by public expressions of intention.

“Weddings may foster support for the new marriage from within a couple’s network of friends and family. Those who hold a formal wedding are likely to have stronger social networks in the first place.”

Reading 50 Shades Linked To Abusive Relationships, Binge Drinking And Eating Disorders

A university professor has posited in a study that young women who read the "50 Shades" books are more likely than nonreaders to exhibit signs of eating disorders and have a verbally abusive partner.

The study, which appears in the Journal of Women’s Health, is one of the first to investigate the relationship between health risks and reading popular fiction depicting violence against women. The study's lead investigator is Amy Bonomi of the Department of Human Development and Family Studies. She says;

“We recognize that the depiction of violence against women in and of itself is not problematic, especially if the depiction attempts to shed serious light on the problem. The problem comes when the depiction reinforces the acceptance of the status quo, rather than challenging it.”

The study states also that women who read all three books in the “Fifty Shades” erotic romance series are at increased risk of engaging in binge drinking and having multiple sex partners.
