Rasheeda was the latest “Love and Hip-Hop” tart to hit the club in St. Louis – which was no shock since they stay in rotation between the hotspots. However, what threw me for a loop is how the entire city got dragged for dear life because of a group shot of her hosting duties at the Sundown Party at The Marquee Sunday night. Yes, it was a rough looking lot in the shot. I was there and some folks pressed to clamor for pics and up-close and personal time were a bit strong in the face. But I don’t understand why the whole city deserved to catch that “You’re not that cute, your hair is uneven…and you look dusty” speech from “Beyond Scared Straight.” Was there some inexcusable ratchetry happening that evening? Of course…that happens everywhere, every time you go to the club. We are certainly not alone in that – and it doesn’t define us as a city. And nearly all of the folks who flamed us had absolutely no room to talk. I won’t name names, but one of the girls going in especially hard needn’t worry about the eyebrows on the picture as much as that dislocated enclosed hair unit on your profile pic. At the end of the day, our city fell victim to a slow gossip day – and that’s the size of it.
