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

The love between celebrity super siblings Ray J and Brandy is something the dynamic duo have never tried to hide.

While other celebrity families go out of their way to hide their bonds for fear of nepotism claims, the Norwoods are all about being one another's biggest fans.

Ray, in particular, has always been incredibly supportive of Brandy. But not just supportive of her—it could be argued that Mr. William Ray Norwood, Jr. (yup, that's Ray J.s full name) has been her biggest fan and loudest hype man since his birth.

Brandy has been performing since she was two and Ray J. was most often right there with her to cheer her on.

He's even got some tattoos to celebrate his big sis.

There's the piece on his arm; it features her name written in the same font as the cover of the 1994 album that made her a household name and rocket-launched her career.

And now he's got a portrait of her face on his leg. Before you "awww" and text your siblings about how crappy they are in comparison, you should maybe read more about this portrait.

Or, like, watch the video...


Done by artist Mashkow, the piece starts with a gorgeous black and gray portrait of the singer/actresses face... then Mashkow and Ray J got creative.

They added some face tattoos across her cheeks, a larger brightly colored one across her forehead, and hot pink to the whites of her eyes - which, when healed on Ray Js skin tone, makes them look totally bloodshot.

The video is, unintentionally, a clip that kills the myth that color tattoos don't work on darker skin and demonstrates exactly how it's done.

The video is also creeping folks out.

The quality of the art and color work in this tattoo is spectacular. It's the content that people seem to take issue with.

Brandy has a reputation for being classy, dignified, and somewhat wholesome. This art is a major departure from that.

Is Ray trying to tell the world something? Or is he casting his sister as a character in some larger story that will play out in the rest of the tattoos he has planned for that leg?

We'll have to wait and see; but for now anyone worried that Brandy might be offended by this portrayal can rest easy.

Heart emoji approval granted.

Would you be flattered or fuming if your sibling got your fave tattooed on them in this way?

Karoline Leavitt Gives Bonkers Excuse After Trump Is Spotted With Massive Bruise On His Left Hand

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was called out after she gave a dubious excuse for what happened to President Donald Trump after he was spotted at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday with a large bruise on his left hand.

Last year, rumors swirled that Trump was on his deathbed after he wasn't seen for several days and the White House cancelled his public appearances, a development that fueled speculation in large part because of Trump's recent health problems, which include a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency and sightings of a harsh bruise on his right hand.
