I will confess to being an unabashed Dricus Du Plessis fan. He’s not a popular pick for reasons that confuse me a little bit. Not entirely; I totally understand that Du Plessis’ style is the antithesis to aesthetics.

Craig Jones wanted to take a stand against the sport of jiu jitsu. That meant withdrawing from the most prestigious tournament the discipline has to offer: Abu Dhabi Combat Club (ADCC), which is being staged this weekend at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Instead, Jones created his own “Invitational” across town at Thomas & Mack Center, jacking up fighter purses to attract top talent.

Dorothy Dandridge was one of Hollywood’s first Black sex symbols and the first black actress to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Around 1930, Dandridge relocated to Los Angeles, California, with her family. A few years later she found success with her new musical group, the Dandridge Sisters, which included sister Vivian and their friend Etta Jones. The group landed gigs at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem and performed with top acts such as the Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra and Cab Calloway. As an African American singer, Dandridge confronted early on the segregation and racism of the entertainment industry. She may have been allowed on stage, but in some venues, she couldn't eat in the restaurant or use certain facilities because of the color of her skin."

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.
