Have you ever read something where you just KNOW the writer talks with their hands, does the sound effects, and would bust out a little dance if it suited the story? That's Erica. She's a colorful storyteller whose sense of humor and fearless honesty make a big impact. Her rants might go for the emotional jugular, hit your funny bone, or shock you and your mama out of your fajas. Usually it's all three. Often chronicling her life in Florida, her stories are full of characters like "Bikini Rifle Lady", "Mariachi Neighbor," and "Barbara The NextDoor Evangelist." There's almost always a message in the madness, and that's what people connect with most. Also her deep and undying love for Tevin Campbell. You can find more of her work at www.EricaFazio.com

Beyonce has a history of using Halloween as a time to celebrate the legendary artists who came before her. She gave Janet Jackson a nod in 2014 by recreating her Rhythm Nation look. 2016 saw an amazing Salt & Pepa look that recruited her mom, Tina, and daughter, Blue Ivy. Lil Kim had so many iconic looks that Bey wore five Kim costumes in 2017. This year, Queen Bey paid homage to legendary powerhouse vocalist Toni Braxton.

Bey recreated the cover of Toni's self titled album. If you were around in the mid 90's, you absolutely heard tracks off of this album - even if you didn't listen to r&b.

That album remains one of the most successful debut albums in history and made waves all around the world. It went platinum in New Zealand, double platinum in Canada, and 8 times platinum in the United States! It was also a huge hit in Japan, Australia, Germany, the Netherlands and a bunch of other countries. In other words - Toni dropped a worldwide game changer with this album.

Bey would have only been twelve or so when it came out, but clearly it made an impact. Her Halloween costume was a really convincing and faithful re-creation of the look. She dubbed herself "Phoni" Braxton.

The Beyhive got a series of stellar Instagram posts about it:




Toni LOVED it and shared some pictures with her fans. Even she had to admit Bey nailed It.


She wasn't the only one. Bey's Halloween looks always make waves, but people loved seeing her tip her hat to a criminally underrated artist like Toni. Queens supporting Queens is everything Twitter wants right now.









Comparisons to a currently-notorious beef between another pair of female artists happened pretty much IMMEDIATELY.




Twitter took a moment for some serious Toni Braxton appreciation.




Toni Braxton has an incredibly powerful and tragic story. Like, they made a movie about her life story - it's that intense. Bad contracts, chronic illness, family drama, and more have put her up against financial issues more than once. She's one of the most universally loved artists ever, but life just keeps knocking her down.

People have their fingers crossed Bey might be inadvertently changing that, especially since Toni is about to go on tour.

Nevada Police Official Who Taught Policing Classes Fired After He's Caught On Video Calling Cop Gay Slur During Traffic Stop

One of Nevada's top cops—who provided training for law enforcement across the state—gave a master class in how not to act during a traffic stop when he was pulled over for distracted driving in a state vehicle on August 18.

Chief investigator for the office of Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, William Scott Jr.—a retired Las Vegas Metro Police Department (LVMPD) captain—did almost everything a person shouldn't do: arguing, name dropping, threatening retaliation, getting out of his vehicle to confront the traffic officer, and verbally berating and mocking the officer while using a homophobic slur.

Stephen Miller's Cousin Reveals Family Disowned Him After He Became The 'Face Of Evil' In Resurfaced Viral Post

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller's cousin, Alisa Kasmer, publicly disowned him in a post she shared over the summer that has resurfaced as President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown—which Miller orchestrated—accelerates.

Kasmer, Miller’s cousin on his father’s side, reminisced about their childhood, describing him as an “awkward, funny, needy middle child who loved to chase attention” but was “always the sweetest with the littlest family members.” She once regarded him as “young, conservative, maybe misguided, but lovable and harmless.”

AOC Hilariously Reacts After Fox News Makes Stephen Miller Watch Her Brutal Takedown Of Him

After New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller during an Instagram livesteam, Fox News played the video for Miller, only for Ocasio-Cortez to laugh at the awkwardness of it all in her follow-up response.

During her livestream, Ocasio-Cortez said “one of the best ways that you can dismantle a movement of insecure men is by making fun of them," urging her followers to mock MAGA men. She then called Miller "a clown" and suggested he—the architect of President Donald Trump's immigration policies—takes out his anger on others because he's "like, 4 feet 10 inches."
