Summer of the Shoutout: Revolutionary Diva J

Who else can you call on to go to a Kelly Clarkson concert, plan the overthrow of the white male power structure, drink lots of wine and cuss out your ex while destroying mementos ALL IN THE SAME NIGHT? In my mind, there is only J.

Vital Stats

• Years of friendship: 3, give or take. The last year or so has been the most active.
• Hometown: The Richmond area, VA
• Prized possessions: A multitude of fashion accessories
• Celebrity crush: Jake Gyllenhaal
• How we met: Chopin Gal, who we ironically don't see much of these days. And we went to college together.
• Where we've been: Destin, DC, Dur'm, Atlanta, Miami, Orlando, maybe Vegas...
• Favorite memory with J: Too many to count. But I did just read her book, which is fabulous. It's heavy, y'all. Definitely not a good bedtime story.

Why I love J:

• Her notable quotables: "Clearly," "Cank," "Slizzard," "Bitches", "Kushushu," "Fussin," etc.
• She taught me that you should just march into any old place like you know what you're doing. 99% of the time, no one will question you, especially if you're tall like J.
• She helped me plan the first and only Revolutionary Summit.
• She knows a lot about Africa.
• She invented "bucket punch."
• She has a cute nephew who rocks rough and tough with his lopsided afro puff.
• She helped me see the distinction between being crazy all over and just crazy about some things. AND why there are very few women cuter/better than me :)
• She knows the words to all Michael Jackson songs and is always up for a night of dancing.

And there will be pics of her posted as soon as Blogger stops effing around. Ah, here we go:
