Is Boogie Nights the Sexiest Movie of All Time?
The other morning I found a proposition waiting for me in my inbox, courtesy of my trusted SPIN editor. It was an assignment to look over a dating website’s list of the 25 Sexiest Movies of All Time. Maybe I could do a small write-up about the films they found to be most ooh-la-la. Some assignments are no-brainers. And since I have no brain, and I love movies — especially ones with nudity in them — this seemed right up my alley. Culled from a list of 110 sexy movies, with a grading system that included categories such as sexiness (naturally, but subjective), box office earnings (nothing sexier than money), popularity (no incel flicks here) and accolades (“and the Oscar for Best Foreplay goes to…”), MyDatingAdvisor.com has compiled the perfect list for you and your partner’s nex...

Culture Vultures Are Global: Brussels Hair Salon Promotes ‘African Hair Style’ With Kim Kardashian Photo
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: VALERIE MACON / Getty One thing to know about cultural appropriation—it’s a global phenomenon. That’s why it isn’t terribly surprising that a hair salon in Brussels, Belgium, used the image of the culture vulture queen herself, Kim Kardashian, to promote “African hair style.” Now, as the New York Post notes, Kim’s image was likely used in the ad without her permission, but seeing as Black people have been dragging Kardashians for years because they adopt Black aesthetic like white actresses adopt Black children, it’s still kind of her fault for having so many “I wanna be a sista’ so bad” photos out there in the first place. From the Post: The incident comes right on the heels of the mogul being accused of “blackfishing” in her recent Vogue cover shoo...
