Happy birthday to my 'schoolboy crush' Halle Berry ❤

This post is a super quick celebratory shout-out to my constant crush Halle Maria Berry. 
(That's right, True Believers. We're using her middle name & everythang!)

And yo, real talk. While my posts on this woman could possibly-maybe border on makin' the kid look like a Halle Berry fiend, the crush of which I speak is a fairly recent development. 

It seems that after publishing a couple of pieces in 2018, including that one where yours truly makes the case for why Halle was the right choice to play Storm, I've somehow felt closer to her –but from a million completely anonymous miles away. 

It's prolly the kind of thing that naturally happens when you look at a gorgeous woman's photos too long. But I know it'll pass eventually. Uh, unless I happen to see Halle's fine caramel self in the flesh at San Diego Comicon or somewhere. 

Anywho, in addition to a very fond birthday wish, I'm also sending out a "special song dedication" to Halle B. on her birthday, b'cuz she and I are old school like dat.

Halle Berry Refuses to Lose to Spicy Wings on Hot Ones

Oh, man. I loved this. I love her! I only wish that I'd seen this vid (which just came through my Facebook feed) back around the time when John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum came out. I was actually fanning my face at the end of this. Halle Berry FOREVER!!! 😂👏🙌💛

"It's been a while, T'challa."

Super-duper-cool meme, right?! Wish I'd been the one to think it, but still glad that another brilliant mind (@swagnetomagnetoinsta) did!

This lil'  beauty came through my Facebook feed just now and made my face just light up as it quickly reminded me of the age progression idea I mentioned near the end of that piece I wrote on Halle Berry being the right choice to play Storm in the X-Men movies. 

So ay, yo, Marvel Studios...what's good? You've officially got the X-Men film rights from SONY. Can you imagine the box office receipts with Storm making a cameo in Black Panther 2? Plus, we can serve all o'dem lame-o haters, like...DJ Darrel D!

C'mon brother Coogler!!! Make it happen, fam. For Wakanda! For Zamunda! For the culture!!! 

LOL

Yoooo! My new piece over on Medium (moved to Vocal.media) goes out as a special dedication to all the Halle Berry haters–cuz y'all suck. Feel free to get abreast on how I managed to milk more out of this very passionate topic of debate amongst geeks than should have been possible by (c)licking here.
