Your honor, they're just friends... Lupine was just testing the lipstick out it's not weird if it's on your friend /j

And then Lupine tells him something like "I think it looks better on you" and Ruff says "What? I'm not wearing any lipstick" and then he gets what she's saying and blushes harder🧡💙

Today In History

David Eli Ruffin, a soul singer who rose to fame as one of the lead singers of the Temptations, was born on this date January 18, 1941, in Whynot, Mississippi.

With Ruffin at the helm, the Temptations hit it big with such songs as “My Girl,” “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg,” “Just My Imagination,” “I Can’t Get Next To You,” and “The Way You Do the Things You Do.”

His solo career followed with more hits such as “My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me),“ “Walk Away from Love,” “I Lost Everything I’ve Ever Loved,” and “Common Man.”

Ruffin’s ability to embody the ecstasy and agony of songs about love gained and lost cast an unbreakable spell on countless admirers who once watched, slack-jawed, as he dazzled crowds.

David Ruffin is one of the Greatest Singers of All Time.

I just realized I've never just straight out asked who everyone's favorite host is, so here's a little poll.

(I forgot polls have a limited amount of options so if you don't see your guy or gal please tell me in the comments/tags who it is and why! I need to be enlightened)

The Temptations are an American vocal group from Detroit, Michigan, who released a series of successful singles and albums with Motown Records during the 1960s to early 1970s. The group's work with producer Norman Whitfield, beginning with the Top 10 hit single "Cloud Nine" in October 1968, pioneered psychedelic soul, and was significant in the evolution of R&B and soul music. The band members are known for their choreography, distinct harmonies, and dress style. Having sold tens of millions of albums, the Temptations are among the most successful groups in popular music.

David Ruffin - In the Cool of the Night (1971)

Here's another example of Motown leaving a great track in their vaults. Recorded for the Ruffin Brothers LP, brother Jimmy never added his vocals, so they tossed the song. I'm not actually sure where Jimmy could've fit in vocally with David's powerhouse vocals.

Pride started with a protest. Pride Month is a declaration of the fight for freedom for all LGBTQ+ people. It is a way to honor our history, resilience, and collective resistance. For those of us who have the privilege, one act of resistance can be coming out publicly as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. And Amber Ruffin did just that during the last day of Pride Month.

On June 30, 2024, multi-talented comedian, writer, and television host Amber Ruffin posted a picture of herself rockin’ a purple shirt that read “QUEER.” The caption of the photo read:

“In what will come as a shock to exactly zero people, I’m using the last day of PRIDE to come out! Be proud of who you are, babies! I know I am! And I can’t wait to be discriminated against for a new reason!!”

Amber gained widespread recognition as a writer for “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” where she became the first Black woman to write for a late-night network talk show. Her segments, such as “Amber Says What?” and “Jokes Seth Can’t Tell,” showcased her sharp comedic skills and her ability to tackle serious issues with a light-hearted approach.

In 2020, Amber continued to break new ground when her critically acclaimed and Emmy-nominated “The Amber Ruffin Show” was launched on the streaming channel Peacock. The show combined sketch comedy, monologues, and musical numbers, often addressing racism, sexism, and homophobia.

Amber has also recently garnered success in the world of theater as co-writer for the “Some Like It Hot” revival, for which she was nominated for a Tony Award, and updating the book for the Deborah Broadway Cox-starring hit, “The Wiz.”

Amber, thank you for sharing your journey with us!
