I will admit that I have not always been nice to Lisa Raye. She’s probably a great person. Likely a good mom. She’s absolutely stunning. But her acting is BALLS. It is absolute balls. It’s a basket of balls (see: Single Ladies).
But I’m going to stop being so hard on her about it because there’s a reason why she’s such a horrid actress: she doesn’t know how to be a good one. and here’s why–look what i dug up:

*Kelis voice* I hate you so much right now. Lawd.
except for doesn’t she kiss her grown daughter in the mouth? with the tongue out? ick.
I just like hearing her Chicago accent. I love listening to people who can’t/don’t/won’t turn their marginalized accents off at all, because I think I’m one of those people.
It is all so clear to me now. But Lisa Raye should have known better, so my hate remains.
I think this web site holds some really superb info for everyone. “A kiss, is the physical transgression of the mental connection which has already taken place.” by Tanielle Naus.
