The WTF? Moments of 2017 – Part 1
What’s poppin’, y’all? As you all know, I was pretty much MIA from Southern Girl Entertainment for the vast majority of 2017, so I decided to make up for the time that we lost. For the most part, 2017 was a really cool year (personal tragedy aside; I lost someone very close to me this year), and it was an extremely exciting year for entertainment. … Continue reading The WTF? Moments of 2017 – Part 1
Thanksgiving Binge Watching: ‘The Punisher’ and ‘She’s Gotta Have It’
What’s up, y’all? Happy very belated Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas! I hope y’all had a great holiday. Mine was wonderful, if I do say so myself. I had a glorious five day weekend away from the aggravation of my day job, and enjoyed some great food and even better company. Other than that, I pretty much just sat on my lazy behind and did the … Continue reading Thanksgiving Binge Watching: ‘The Punisher’ and ‘She’s Gotta Have It’
‘Thor: Ragnarok’ – The Good, the Bad, and the Things That Made Me Go “Hmmm…”
Hey, y’all! Long time, no post! I know, I’ve been away for a loooong time. I’m not making any excuses; it was a combination of things that kept me away. Work, other writing assignments, family, losing a loved one this past September, lack of ideas, and a lot of times, just plain laziness. Like I said, no excuses. I’m back now, and even though I … Continue reading ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ – The Good, the Bad, and the Things That Made Me Go “Hmmm…”
I See You, BET: ‘The New Edition Story’ Review
There’s been many constants in my life. One of those constants is New Edition. For those of y’all that were born after 1990, New Edition was an R&B/Pop powerhouse during the ’80s and ’90s that consisted of Ralph Tresvant, Michael Bivins, Ricky Bell, Ronnie DeVoe, Johnny Gill and last but not least, Bobby Brown. Yes, that Bobby Brown. I’ve loved these fellas since I was … Continue reading I See You, BET: ‘The New Edition Story’ Review
Top 10 Songs of 2016
Happy New Year, y’all! I know it’s been an extremely long time since I’ve posted anything on this blog (October, to be exact), but since I have a tad bit of free time for a change—and I’ve ended my Christmas vacay from writing—I’ve decided to do a little somethin’ somethin’ regarding the past year. Now, 2016 wasn’t exactly the easiest year for most of us, … Continue reading Top 10 Songs of 2016
‘Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge and Michel’le’ Review
Real talk, folks that aren’t African-American and/or weren’t around during the early 1990s may not remember Michel’le. She received a lot of airplay on R&B stations back in the day, along with the likes of Surface, Skyy, Keith Sweat and Al B. Sure! When I was in third grade, you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing Michel’le’s songs “No More Lies” and “Something in My Heart” … Continue reading ‘Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge and Michel’le’ Review
Top 10 Worst Sequels
Hey, y’all! Yes, I’m still alive. I’m so sorry I haven’t been around for the last two months. I’ve been extremely busy with my day job, as well as my other writing assignments. I haven’t forgotten about y’all. To be honest, lately I’ve been so inwardly stressed about not being able to do all my writing projects that I’ve had trouble digesting food. No lie. … Continue reading Top 10 Worst Sequels
Rock Throws Shade!
What’s poppin’, y’all? As some of y’all may already know, I am head over heels in love with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Rock is one of my many fantasy men, and earlier today, I came across some news about him that really had me scratching my head. Now, Insights from a Southern Girl isn’t a gossip blog, but I really felt compelled to share this … Continue reading Rock Throws Shade!
Top 10 ‘Outlander’ Moments
What’s poppin’, y’all? As die hard fans like myself may already know by now, season 2 of Outlander officially ended a few weeks ago, and we’re officially in the time period known as “Droughtlander.” To be honest though, if I have to endure an entire season of bratty ass Brianna Randall, I’d rather brave the drought! Anyway, despite losing Starz a while back, I was … Continue reading Top 10 ‘Outlander’ Moments
‘Star Trek: Beyond’ Review
What’s poppin’, y’all? Star Trek: Beyond was released this past weekend, and my mom and I decided to have a mother/daughter night and go see it. I have to say, I was thoroughly entertained. This go around, the Star Trek franchise has Justin Lin behind the helm as the director instead of J.J. Abrams, and the film received a fair amount of publicity, but not … Continue reading ‘Star Trek: Beyond’ Review
