the new oprah?

Last night's reunion of Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School was quite possibly some of the most compelling and hilarious television I've watched this year. Our friends at Gold Digger appreciate this show as well, but we've yet to address what makes the show work. It's not Mikki Taylor's horse teeth or Sapharyi's pink hair, but the wisdom and maternal love of the extraordinary Mo'Nique. Although she is known for being a comic, this show has taught us that she champions self-love, self-respect, and the general advancement of women. She taught the Flavor of Love rejects that there is more to life than shaking your ass on national television or simulating a blow job on an ice sculpture. You got a sense that these woman wanted to change and find empowerment in themselves at the hands of their gracious teacher. For that, Mo'Nique is worthy of achieving some sort of martyrdom. I'm not sure if her charitable work comes across so clear because last night's episode saw a resentful albino, women acting catty, and a proclamation that is in fact okay to be "slutatious", but if you really look at what she's doing it's really radical for television. Next up on her agenda? The women of "Bad Girls Club" and any daytime talkshow. Oh and maybe Brittney Spears.

And for shits and giggles:

Am I the only one who can watch this on repeat?
