Having been treated as an ATM by two husbands and one long-term boyfriend (at least I had the sense not to marry that one) I’d like to know where I can get one of those husband ATMs of which you speak DIBS…

Wrong link for Foxy Brown. Not that many will care.

Snappy, what would not qualify as “natural hair?” I’ve never seen anyone from brownstoner show up with a toupee.

blackberry, DIBS. she throws blackberries. i find it funny, but what’s your beef with foxy? she cheat you out of a record deal or something?
I’ve known Connie for like 20 years. She and her late husband worked hard all their lives. She’s a sweetheart. I hope her lawyer kicks some serious ass.
The difference being I have never thrown a cell phone.
“Foxy is more Brooklyn than you Dave!!”
If you mean a low-life, cell phone-throwing, attention whore, foul mouthed jackass, then yes.
Mansion by the Caspian Sea in Mill Basin.
I find it hard to be sympathetic to thugs being robbed by other thugs. If these people were safely in jail, where they belong, it wouldn’t have happened.
OMG, tinarina. I’ve never seen anything like it.
