I’ve been mulling over several posts for 2012 and I’d like to present more editorials to my faithful readers. One thing I know a bit about is church, being born and raised in church all my life. Church girls seem to always get the most scrutiny because of how they dress, you can’t be too outlandish with your style but then who wants to dress like a cast member from Little…

Nicki Minaj’s new video for her controversial hit sparked an editorial note with me. When you look at the video, you see sensational sights and hear sensational sounds. It’s no secret that the song is a diss track for Nicki’s rival, Lil Kim, but what the song does is create a buzz.
