What are the odds?

Rumor has it that rapper/ actor and convicted felon T.I and his girlfriend Tiny like to have threesomes. Apparently T.I. finds a woman and Tiny says yea or nay. What I find interesting is not so much that they allegedly like threesomes but how these two people who like that particular thing found each other.

I find it fascinating when I come across a couple that have a very unique interest in common. I mean it's already hard for a person with very common interests to find a suitable mate but how does a person with a very uncommon interest find someone who not only shares that interest but is also compatible as a mate?


What if you're a Black punk rocker who likes to mountain climb, enjoys traveling to flea markets on weekends and is into art deco and Georgia O'Keeffe? How hard would it be for such a person to find a suitable mate with those interests? Do two such people exist? And if they do what are the odds that they could find each other much less like each other?

Two4er Tuesday: Missing Luther

With all the crappy R&B being made these days it's really easy to miss the true greatness of Luther Ronzoni Vandross. So enjoy these two live performances from Luther.
