fecundmellow presents: summer m.'s favorite white women
don't tell minister farrakhan/he don't wanna know what's going on (mighty casey swipe)

the other week, i listed my favorite white men. so in an effort to be fair, i've decided to list my favorite white women.

the golden girls: man, y'all just don't understand how much i love golden girls. nahmix and i often discuss and act out scenes via i.m. and/or in person from our favorite episodes. my mother and i talk about gg during our phone convos as if the show is not in reruns. anyway, i can't say it enough: gg is my favorite tv show of all time. more than roseanne; more than the cosby show; gg is my shit. i've seen every episode, and i still laugh my ass off. i'm talking belly laughs while i'm alone in my living room. they just crack me up, and i don't know why. i find it offensive when people do not see the timeless humor of gg. i'm not saying you have to watch it 4 times a day like i do, i just think you should respect and appreciate the genius of the show. sofia is my favorite character; but i identify most with dorothy. which golden girl are you?

ellen: ellen is my fashion role model. strange, i know. but i am a sneaker whore; it seems like she is, too. my goal in life is to have enough clout to be able to wear jeans and/or sneakers anywhere i go. i admire ellen for accomplishing such a feat. iono why, but she just puts a smile on my face. i watch her while i do my bitch-ass marathon training. she gives me small goals, 'run until she dances'...'run until she finishes with the looky lou'...etc. etc. i'm really glad she's made such a huge comeback. i watch reruns of her sitcom on the oprah network (shhhh. don't tell). and she's also in finding nemo--well, she lends her voice to a character. finding nemo is my shit. finally, i try not to judge a celebrity on his/her public persona and/or behavior, but i do have to say, i think ellen is prolly a super nice person.

flannery o'connor: i was 'converted' to the flannery o'connor club more or less by my girl rrrrachel (wow, two blog shoutouts in a row, homie!). i'd always loved and appreciated her short stories, but rachel really helped me love her even more. she deals with the mysteries in life while simultaneously being super funny. i dig her mucho. besides, i've been using one of her quotes on the side bar of my blog, 'the truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it emotionally.' that's some shit to ponder. f'real.

stevie nicks: stevie nicks is my favorite hippy. i loooooove her voice so much. i swear i play some stevie nicks at least once a week. whether solo or with fleetwood mac, i never get tired of stevie. she's just so dope, man. as a really young kid i loved the song 'gypsy' which stevie wrote. i would later fall in love with 'leather and lace' and 'edge of seventeen'; i love the latter even more since it got used in school of rock (see that shit, please. jack black is funny as hell). not one white chick can really fuck w/ stevie. except maybe carole king--i love her so much i can't even write about her. speaking of carole king, anybody wanna go see her this summer in the chi?

pat summitt: as i've said a gazillion times, i'm from indiana. as a result, basketball ruled my life for a while. when you're a young girl playing ball in the late 80s and early 90s, you watch the tennessee volunteers. you therefore recognize pat summitt as a basketball icon. i met pat summitt once when she was recruiting a local high skool star who happened to live next door to my basketball coach. she was very nice, but her blue eyes were even more intense in person as they were on tv. when i was a freshman in college, i went to mackey arena to see the lady vols take on the purdue lady boilers. in my whole section filled with fans rocking the black and old gold, i was the lone person with a bright orange shirt on. my dedication to pat summitt and the lady vols is that strong. pat summitt don't take no shit; and i dig that a lot. she also has more divison i basketball victories than anybody.

angelina jolie: to put it very bluntly: angelina could get it. i don't know what it is about her (prolly the lips...go figure), but if she ever wanted to take a big ass, broke, so-not-famous, midwestern black chick as a lover, i'm her girl. true, i slept through the first lara croft in the movie theater, and i don't think i've 'seen' any other angelina movie. i therefore cannot speak to her acting talents. i can, however, speak to her sexiness. plus, her son's mohawk rocked.





in a somewhat unrelated note, i was watching ellen and gwen stefani was on singing 'holla back, girl' and i was just telling saf the other day that she [meaning gwen] should do a remix w/ debbie harry (of blondie) because she sounds kinda like her when she raps. like, they could fuse together the music of 'holla back' and 'rapture' and have debbie do some of her verse in the remix. i think it would work. next time you here 'holla back', rap some of the lines of 'rapture' over the track. if you don't know anyway, here are some: fab five freddy told me everybody's fly/dj spinning i said 'my my/flash is fast flash is cool/francois c'est pas flashe non due/an dyou don't stop sure shot/go out to the parking lot...
