  • Bae-Watch

    Bae-Watch

    I would hope that many of us are familiar with the show Bay- Watch (if not cue Google) and so will appreciate the word play in the title. However, this article has no semblance to the TV series that revolved around lifeguards in red hot swimming costumes, that captured millions. This isn’t even an article…

  • It’s All About The Dough…..

    It’s All About The Dough…..

    Hi lovers. You will have to excuse my hiatus from ThePromiscuousPen but as some of you may know, when life gets in the way, you just have to keep making lemonade, even when you want to make cranberry juice. However, as of today I am back like a bra strap with another ludicrously profound piece…

  • Brothers (in Christ) With No Game? The Sequel

    Brothers (in Christ) With No Game? The Sequel

    When I first wrote the controversial article, “Brothers (in Christ) With No Game”, I thought it was a finished product. I thought it would never need revisiting because it was so damn well written and I had explored every possible conclusion with regards to the dynamics between male and female relations within the church. I…

  • Stop Hating Valentine.

    Stop Hating Valentine.

    Some of us are giddy at the thought of Valentine’s Day, some of us scowl over the notion. The former are lovers but are the latter haters? At some point in our lives we have dreaded the arrival of February because it reminded us of our single status. We would enter into the second month…

  • Brothers (In Christ) With No Game….

    Brothers (In Christ) With No Game….

    I interrupt this usual session (my Jesus’ pieces are usually far more Jesus centred) to bring you something quite real.As always this piece has come about as a result of several conversations with various people (mostly women) from Christian backgrounds.  Before I go on, I want to say that the love for my Christian brothers…

  • If You Really Love Somebody You Can Wait?NO! You Better Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace.

    If You Really Love Somebody You Can Wait?NO! You Better Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace.

    Despite the frankness in the title (no you better speak now or forever hold your peace) this post is coming from a loving place, as all my articles generally do. Nothing would give me more joy than to hear that you have all found love (preferably not in a hopeless place) and are happy and…

  • “New Year, New You Blah Blah Blah..”

    “New Year, New You Blah Blah Blah..”

    This post may come across as cynical but my intention is to give you a hope that goes beyond January 1st. “A New Year, a new me”- signed the complacent optimist “A new year, a new me” is the favoured slogan in this season and whilst it’s optimistic it is awfully idealistic. I was once…

  • Submission Is Not A Curse Word: Submission 101

    Submission Is Not A Curse Word: Submission 101

    There’s always something missing from the contemporary submission debate and that is the part where the husband loves the woman the way Christ loves the Church. A blog post on submission has played on my mind for some time now, however my fear was that the content would read like a rant as opposed to an article and…

  • “How Many Ladies in The House Without A Spouse?”

    “How Many Ladies in The House Without A Spouse?”

    “How many ladies in the house, how many ladies in the house without a spouse. Something in your blouse got me feeling so aroused.  What you about? On that independent ish, trade it all for a husband and some kids.” – Kanye West , I wonder  This has got to be one of my favourite…

  • Situationships.

    Situationships.

    The ascent of the “sidechick culture” has led me to the following conclusions: There has been a change in the way we perceive relationships and if you disagree then it means you have either been fortunate enough to have been surrounded by perfect examples or you are simply failing to see the wood for the…

    #232 Words For Tamir Rice

    My heart broke into a thousand little pieces when I heard the news that a child had been killed at the hands of US police officers.  Before I saw the picture and even before I learnt his name, I imagined a happy child so full of life and vigour as children often are. I imagined…

  • Got Faith?

    Got Faith?

      Riddle me this: What do Jesus, French Montana and the Bible have in common? All will be revealed by the end of this post. I really wanted the title to read “Got milk faith?” (you know like those extremely awkward adverts where celebrities pose with milk on their faces) but alas WordPress  have not provided that…

  • The Big Booty Effect

    The Big Booty Effect

      I have a small derrière.  This is quite an outlandish way to begin a post but I’m in the business of outlandish statements, so it really should not come as a surprise. If you know me in real life, then you know I’m also besotted with my “booty”, always strategically calculating how much chicken…

  • The Un – Social Network

    The Un – Social Network

    Disclaimer: This is not an attack on social networking (where would my blog be without social networking?) but instead an investigation into our obsession with social platforms. “My name is Cristine and I’m an apps-aholic.” I have been meaning to gather my thoughts on social media for a while now and create a blog post…

  • Dear Men, We Like Beards…

    Dear Men, We Like Beards…

    I remember a while back when I was fawning over a picture of a man with thick , dark facial hair (my usual passe-temps) and a friend of mine thought it  necessary to comment on what he considered an obsessive preoccupation with beards and although his accusation was accurate ( I was clearly infatuated with…

    Keep Your Nudes Away Because Hackers Don’t Play…

      Two weeks ago a host of celebrities were victims of cyber intrusion by hackers who began circulating images of them in the nude. Today again another group of female celebrities have been victims of social hacking and as a result have found their naked photos floating online. This trend of hacking into what were…

    It Was Love At First Skype……………….

        As expected, you clicked on the link because you saw love and Skype together and instantly thought “hmmm interesting word play” , or maybe other things came to mind but it’s irrelevant at this point, I’m just glad that you clicked on the link and  read on.  However, this article is not actually…

  • Strong, Black Womanhood.

    Strong, Black Womanhood.

    We subscribe to things we do not quite understand and endorse them without fully realising how detrimental those things can be. The concept of “self fulfilling prophecy” is powerful and accurate especially with regards to stereotypes because we tend to become the labels placed on us. We begin to imitate the stereotype, often times wearing…

  • Drowning…

    Drowning…

    I looked into my archive and found this timely piece and so I thought to post it as a word of encouragement to whoever may need it. We like to paint smiles on our faces and suffer in silence when the truth is everyone has moments when they feel as though the ocean of life…
