This article made me think of a LOT of the ladies here.

With rising incomes, young women discover the pitfalls of “dating down.”

Good clip:

A lot of young women “are of two minds,” said Stephanie Coontz, director of research at the Council on Contemporary Families, a research organization. “On one hand, they’re proud of their achievements, and they think they want a man who shares house chores and child care. But on the other hand they’re scared by their own achievement, and they’re a little nervous having a man who won’t be the main breadwinner. These are old tapes running in their head: ‘This is how you get a man.’ ”

This is exactly why my last 'relationship' thing ended. He said I was 'too much' and was 'high maintenance'

This was a good article. I'm not living large like those women, but I am the head of household financially, so I can relate. It's like having two minds, because on the one hand, I'm SO appreciative of what my husband does at home (no, seriously ), but on the other hand, it can get frustrating when I want to go see a play at the theater and he has absolutely no interest in it. Having more money, education, etc. means being exposed to more things and being interested in different things, and sometimes that man's interests just aren't on that level.

Beyonce cancels Kuala Lumpur show By SEAN YOONG, Associated Press Writer
Mon Oct 1, 9:46 AM ET

Beyonce Knowles has scrapped plans to stage her first concert in Malaysia and will instead perform in neighboring Indonesia, which has less stringent rules about how performers should dress and behave.

The announcement followed recent speculation that Knowles — who is famous for her sexy image and skimpy outfits — was reluctant to fulfill the Malaysian government's demand for female performers to cover up from the top of their chests to their knees, including their shoulders.

International Creative Management, her Los Angeles-based talent agency, said Knowles' Nov. 1 date in Kuala Lumpur was canceled "due to a scheduling conflict."

"It is with regret that we announce the cancellation of The Beyonce Experience World Tour in Kuala Lumpur," said the statement, which was made available Monday by Malaysian entertainment organizers Pineapple Concerts. "It was to mark the very first time the performer would bring her show to Malaysia."

Knowles, 26, will perform in Jakarta on Nov. 1.

Pineapple Concerts Chairman Razlan Ahmad Razali said his company, which has brought Western acts such as Kanye West and Earth, Wind and Fire to Malaysia, was "disappointed and frustrated."

"Though Indonesia is also a Muslim country, it doesn't have all these issues that we have," Razlan told The Associated Press. "She can perform as she likes there."

Concert promoters have said Western performers face mounting pressure in Malaysia to keep skimpy clothes and steamy dance moves off the stage amid protests by conservative Muslims who believe liberal Western performances can corrupt young people.

Gwen Stefani made what she called "a major sacrifice" in August by wearing clothes that revealed little skin at a Kuala Lumpur stadium concert after Muslim students and activists called for the performance to be canceled due to the singer's sultry reputation.

I see that the Converse shoes are available through a password protected Converse website (you can get the password through the members-only section of our national site).

They're cute... but @ $70, I'm not so sure they're worth it.

Dear God, my soror needs to censor her stupid little boy. I know that Gay-J is a grown man, but he's acting like a little boy whose brain is between his legs. And what would lead 1,100 women to allow Gay-J to blaze them?

Well I guess when it's 1100 and your ONLY real thing to brag about is being Brandy's brother then it becomes a huge feat? Might take some game?
