(listening to focus by H.E.R. will make reading this much better)

Although she had never said anything about it, Nayeon could tell that Jeongyeon was a bit upset that she'd missed her birthday. Nayeon knew that Jeongyeon didn't hold it against her since their schedules had been beyond unbearable for the past few months, but she still felt bad that she couldn't do anything other than send a quick text and a fruit basket.

The lights were off when Jeongyeon came home which was strange since she left for her schedule after Nayeon, and she knew that her girlfriend wasn’t supposed to be home yet. She took her shoes off in the entryway and flicked the switch for the hallway light. When it didn't turn on after a few more flicks, she sighed and slowly walked down the dark hallway, keeping her hand on the wall in case she bumped into something.

The further Jeongyeon got down the hallway, the more confused she got. As she felt along the wall, trying to let her eyes adjust to the darkness, a faint red glow from the living room appeared. The glow grew bigger as she made it to the entryway of the living room.

In the center sat a single chair with a blindfold on the seat. Jeongyeon looked around the living room and carefully took a few steps in. She bent down in front of the chair and picked the blindfold up, a small piece of paper falling out as she flipped the blindfold over.

Jeongyeon picked the paper up and unfolded it, a slight brush creeping up her neck as she read it.

i'm sorry i missed your birthday, baby. but i promise i'll make it up to you if you put the blindfold on! - 🐰❤️

Already, Jeongyeon could feel her palms getting sweaty. She tucked the note into her back pocket and shrugged her backpack off, tossing it beside the entertainment center. Although she had every right to be skeptical that someone had broken into their apartment, she was sure that it was Nayeon’s messy handwriting on the note.

Jeongyeon sat down on the chair and slid the blindfold over her eyes with shaky hands. Her heartbeat sped up a little as she waited, the anticipation of what her girlfriend had for her making her thoughts run wild.

Before Jeongyeon had too much time to overthink, the angelic sound of a harp filled the room. Jeongyeon turned her head towards the speakers in the entertainment system and let herself get drawn into the music. It was light and sensual and did nothing but make her want to take her blindfold off.

Nayeon walked into the living room from their bedroom and made her way towards Jeongyeon. She stood behind Jeongyeon, running a gentle hand over her girlfriend's chest.

Jeongyeon jumped a bit and shuddered under Nayeon's light touch, turning her head to try and look behind her despite being blindfolded. She reached back to feel Nayeon, but her girlfriend had already moved to stand in front of her.

Nayeon bent down and gently squeezed Jeongyeon's thighs. She let her hands trail up to Jeongyeon’s hips before she slowly took the blindfold off.

Jeongyeon blinked a few times to let her eyes adjust to the sudden red light before she fully absorbed the sight in front of her. Nayeon took a few steps back, hands clasped behind her back as she posed, slightly sticking her ass out for her girlfriend.

Jeongyeon wished she could burn this image of Nayeon into her brain. Nayeon was wearing a Playboy bunny outfit, complete with the iconic ears and cottontail. It hugged every single curve of Nayeon's slim body perfectly and Jeongyeon was torn between drooling over it and tearing it off her girlfriend.

"Like it, Jeongie?" Nayeon asked, her innocent tone in complete contrast with her sexy look. She shook her ass a little, cottontail wiggling as she flashed Jeongyeon that smile she was so fond of.

Jeongyeon could only nod, mouth hanging open as she tried to reach out and grab Nayeon's hips to pull her closer. To this, Nayeon just gave her girlfriend a little pout and swatted her hands away.

Nayeon took a few more steps back and started to sway in time with the song, moving her hands slowly and sensually up her hips and sides. She slowly ran them over her breasts, giving them a gentle squeeze before she winked at Jeongyeon and sat down on her lap.

It took everything in Jeongyeon to not touch every part of Nayeon's body as her beautiful bunny danced on her. Jeongyeon's grip on the chair was so strong her knuckles turned white when Nayeon decided to grind her hips into the now very prominent bulge in her girlfriend's pants.

Jeongyeon hissed at the pressure, eyes glued to the swell of Nayeon's ass as she ground into her bulge over and over again. Nayeon turned around on her girlfriend’s lap and wrapped her arms around her neck. She gently scratched the nape of Jeongyeon’s neck with her nails, giggling at the breathy moan her girlfriend let out.

When Nayeon decided that Jeongyeon had had enough, she got up and moved behind her again, bending down to gently suck and nip at the sensitive spot just under Jeongyeon's ear.

"I've missed you so much, Jeongie. Been so lonely without you and I just need you to touch me." Nayeon whispered into Jeongyeon's ear, her words and breath against her neck setting Jeongyeon's nerves on fire.

The second the song faded out, Jeongyeon stood up out of the chair. She pushed it out of the way and wrapped her hands around Nayeon's hips, pulling her girlfriend’s body flush against her own. "Is this my birthday gift, bunny? Or do you have more for me?"

Nayeon looked up at Jeongyeon, her eyes filled with lust as she shook her head and wrapped her arms around her girlfriend's neck again. "Wore this just 'cause I want you to take it off me. 'm already so wet for you, Jeongie."

Jeongyeon's breath hitched in her throat when Nayeon pulled her hand down, directing her to feel how she'd already soaked through the thin fabric of her little outfit. Jeongyeon ran a finger over her clothed folds, finally giving in at the small moan that fell out of Nayeon's mouth.

With ease, Jeongyeon swiftly picked Nayeon up and carried her to their bedroom. Jeongyeon gently set her down on their bed, dimming the lights as she slowly unbuckled her belt. "As much as I love that sexy little outfit on you, bunny, I really want it off of you. Now."

A shiver ran down Nayeon's spine as she took her time taking her outfit off. She unclipped the collar with the bowtie and tossed it onto the floor, slowly taking unsnapping both cuffs on her wrists. By the time she had worked her way to slip the bodysuit off, Jeongyeon's cock was straining in her pants.

Nayeon dropped the bodysuit to the floor, her naked figure on full display for her girlfriend to see. She reached up to take the ears off but stopped when Jeongyeon cleared her throat.

Shaking her head, Jeongyeon walked over to where Nayeon was sitting on the bed. In one smooth motion, Jeongyeon slid her belt off and pulled her pants down, tossing both into a corner of the room to be rediscovered in the morning. She gently took Nayeon's hands off the bunny ears and kissed her palms, setting her hands in her lap.

"Keep them on for me." Jeongyeon said in a whisper. She pushed Nayeon up the bed until her back was resting against the headboard. "I want to fuck you like this, bunny."

A low moan slipped out of Nayeon's mouth as Jeongyeon said this. She watched with hungry eyes as Jeongyeon threw her shirt off, leaving her girlfriend in just her boxer briefs.

Nayeon loved it when Jeongyeon wore them. Not only did the boxer briefs make her already impressive length look even bigger, but they also hugged the curves of her girlfriend's ass so well.

Jeongyeon leaned down, her lips claiming Nayeon's to taste her peppermint lip gloss. Their tongues danced together, Jeongyeon ultimately claiming dominance as she ground her barely clothed cock into Nayeon's soaking wet center.

Kisses, licks, and nips were peppered from Nayeon's neck all the way down to her breasts as Jeongyeon took a stiff nipple between her lips, sucking and biting as Nayeon's throaty moans echoed through the room.

Jeongyeon smirked against her girlfriend's skin and snaked a hand down to run her fingers in between the slick folds. Nayeon's hips involuntarily bucked up into Jeongyeon's hand, seeking more friction.

Jeongyeon dipped two fingers into Nayeon's tight, wet heat before bringing them up to rub small circles into her clit. Eliciting a low groan from Nayeon and her nails clawing down her back, Jeongyeon continued to tease her clit and mark her breasts.

"What do you want from me, bunny?" Jeongyeon asked and looked up with desire to see Nayeon's blown pupils. Even more than when she was blissed out from her cock, Jeongyeon loved seeing her girlfriend like this.

"Please, Jeong," Nayeon panted, her hips canting up against the palm of her girlfriend's hand, "Need you in me."

"Since you asked so nicely." Jeongyeon smiled against Nayeon's skin and with ease, pushed two fingers into Nayeon's tight heat. "Fuck, bunny. Always so tight for me."

Nayeon's grip on Jeongyeon's back tightened, her body flushed with pleasure as her walls clenched around the sudden intrusion.

Jeongyeon looked up at her girlfriend's bunny ears and rubbed one of them with her free hand, a small smile forming on her lips. "You look so good for me like this, Nay. You gonna let me fuck you like a good little bunny?"

Nayeon whined and nodded her head vigorously as Jeongyeon set a moderate pace, her girlfriend's fingers thoroughly coated with her juices within seconds.

Jeongyeon plunged her fingers in and out of Nayeon's center, her thrusts picking up every few seconds with the addition of her thumb rubbing against Nayeon's clit.

Not realizing how long it had been since they had sex, Nayeon could already feel herself teetering over the edge. Jeongyeon's undying attention to her breasts and her fingers curling up to hit that sweet spot inside of her over and over again had Nayeon squirming already.

As Nayeon's walls rhythmically clenched and unclenched around Jeongyeon's fingers, she could tell that her girlfriend was close. Nayeon's breathing picked up and her nails dug deeper into Jeongyeon's lower back.

Nayeon was just about to cum when Jeongyeon slowly pulled her fingers out, leaving Nayeon to whine and grab Jeongyeon's wrist to try and push her fingers back in.

Her whines were quickly cut off as Jeongyeon pulled Nayeon's hand away. She laced their fingers together and positioned herself between Nayeon's legs, cock easily sliding into her girlfriend's center.

"Oh shit, bunny." Jeongyeon let out a low groan and rested her forehead on Nayeon's shoulder. Jeongyeon bottomed out inside of Nayeon, her hips still as she tried to process just how good Nayeon felt wrapped around her again.

Once Jeongyeon caught her breath, she started to slowly thrust her hips, the slick sounds of Nayeon's wetness filling the room. "God, bunny. Needed you so bad. Need to fill you up."

Nayeon's moans and whimpers only spurred Jeongyeon on, keeping a fairly slow pace to drag out the all too rare intimate time they had together.

"Your little outfit was cute, bunny, but nothing beats this pussy. You're always so tight for me. Always make me feel so good."

The wet slap of their hips connecting grew louder and louder as Jeongyeon picked up her pace. She kept her head close to Nayeon's to lick and suck her neck and reached her hand down to rub Nayeon's clit again.

"Yes, Jeong! Faster!" Nayeon whined out, her hands grabbing Jeongyeon's hips to try and pull her impossibly close.

Jeongyeon's body was on fire as she thrusted her hips at a relentless pace. She put a little more pressure as she rubbed Nayeon's clit, determined to make her cum first.

"Such a good bunny. Gonna cum for me."

As Nayeon tipped over the edge, her walls tightened around Jeongyeon's cock, suffocating it as she felt her entire body shake. She clung onto Jeongyeon, pulling her so close that her girlfriend was barely able to keep moving inside of her.

Jeongyeon carried Nayeon through her orgasm, her movements getting sloppy before she thrusted hard, her body shuddering as she pumped her load deep inside.

Nayeon let out a satisfied groan at Jeongyeon's weight on top of her and the feeling of being filled. Wrapping her arms around Jeongyeon, she rubbed her girlfriend's back, waiting until her breathing evened out.

Jeongyeon lifted her head from Nayeon's shoulder, loose strands of hair sticking to her sweaty forehead. Nayeon smiled and ran her fingers through Jeongyeon's hair, cupping her cheek to pull her down for a tender kiss.

"I might have to wear the bunny ears more often if you're going to fuck me like that."

Jeongyeon chuckled and laid back down against Nayeon, basking in the afterglow of her bunny's perfectly late birthday gift.

is it áo dài? or pants under a dress?? my thoughts!

(i like experimenting with fashion while doing my best at learning history and appreciating cultures- i embrace traditional looks and changing modern trends! thats my style!)

so uhh not a historian! but mom told me og áo dài were more practical and loosely fitted before we got to the fashion of áo dài widely seen now: notably the raglan sleeve (like baseball tees) and raised slits that show skin on both sides of the waist! big fan!

these are all totally áo dài! the pants and raglan sleeve and high collar are iconic but i don't think they define áo dài! source: trust me bro

if the bottom is separate and there's the left/right open slits to get the front/back panels its áo dài to me!

all qipao or whatever! not áo dài! next!

lol thats just áo dài without pants! like wearing a t-shirt and choosing to forgo any sort of bottom garment! i think its still áo dài! quite a fashion statement!

H.E.R. in vera wang! wang is a chinese american designer! its áo dài to me! imo the motifs resemble qipao with the piping and asymmetry but it has the 2 panels high slit cut and pants! if it could be worn without a bottom then maybe i'd call it "pants under a dress" lol

#áo dài #ao dai

Bobby Carter is slowly changing the music industry, one genre-bending performance at a time. As the Senior Producer for NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Concerts, he’s brought on an increasingly-growing roster of emerging artists, big names, and icons to the company’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. to perform not only for the building’s employees, but for an audience of millions worldwide.

The St. Louis native’s journey has been long and arduous, but fulfilling, to say the least. “I’ve been at NPR for 23 years,” Carter tells ESSENCE. “But my route to where I am now was a bit unconventional; I started out as an intern in the summer of 2000. I was in the digital media space at the time, my job was to edit our content for the web stream. I spearheaded or managed our live streams – and this predated Tiny Desk.”

“I knew at some point I wanted to get involved with music at NPR, but that opportunity wasn’t there yet until NPR Music came along,” he continues. “I slowly started to drift over into the music space by writing pieces here and there, and contributing to our year-end content. In 2014, that’s when I produced my very first Tiny Desk concert, and three years later I was officially over with Tiny Desk in a formal role.”

Since his full transition to Tiny Desk in 2017, Carter has developed partnerships with Complexcon, and HBO’s Insecure, along with creating new initiatives to grow and diversify the program’s reach. He’s also known for further innovating the Tiny Desk Concert Series with artists such as Usher, H.E.R., Anderson.Paak, Jazmine Sullivan, Kirk Franklin, and more. The process of choosing musicians for the now-iconic performance platform has shifted from the time of its inception, but for Carter, he’s more hands on than ever.

“Well, early on it was a lot of us pursuing artists from our end and selling artists on what the concept is and getting them to come and play,” describes the Jackson State University graduate. “Fast-forward to now, it’s pretty much a two-way street. Tiny Desk, as you’re aware of, has become a phenomenon of sorts, where artists and labels know at this point that it’s a vehicle for promoting music and selling music.”

While many musicians feel that Tiny Desk is critical to promoting their music, Carter has found that the promotion of Black music has been equally as important. “I’m really passionate about helping to tell the story of Black music, because the story of Black music is the story of American music, if you ask me,” he says. With the month of June being Black Music Month, NPR has observed it by honoring Black music’s influence through various mediums, and highlighting its impact so that the story is told properly.

“You can’t tell the history of music without black people,” the veteran DJ says. “What we’re trying to do here at the Tiny Desk with Black Music Month is to really present that in a way that shows us in different lights. You have R&B, gospel, etc.; there’s just so many layers to black music that have made American music what it is today. It’s a story that isn’t told enough, it can never be told enough.”

Outside of jazz the only other true artform produced in the country is hip-hop, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. During his earlier days at the platform, Carter speaks about the “internal conflict” that he has dealt with to get people to recognize that hip-hop and artists like Gucci Mane also need to be heard in a space like NPR.

“I think that there is a struggle to be sure that every single perspective is heard, and understand that whether or not a they’re a street MC or a trap artist or a neo soul artist, that they all belong, their perspective deserves to be heard at the Tiny Desk, as long as the performance is right,” he says. There were people who were uncomfortable with a Gucci Mane at the Tiny Desk, given his history and whatnot. But he served his time for his wrongs, and he has been the ultimate redemption story.”

The Atlanta rapper’s appearance on Tiny Desk altered the trajectory of what the concert series was, helping to catapult it to the successful platform that it ultimately became. “I think that Gucci Mane, that Tiny Desk was a big, big game changer for the Tiny Desk in terms of hip hop, because it showed other artists in his lane that, ‘We can come and we can do our thing here too,’” Carter states, before pausing briefly.

He continues by saying, “There is an internal fight, because a lot of times people want to feel comfortable, they don’t want to feel threatened by hip hop. But if you’re a little uncomfortable, that’s okay – maybe it’s just not for you, but it is for somebody.” After Gucci’s performance in 2016, Tiny Desk featured Chance the Rapper, Big K.R.I.T., Rakim, Lizzo, Megan Thee Stallion, and Trina, among others; bolstering the fact that the genre is still strong, and is here to stay.

Throughout the years, many legendary performances have taken place behind the desk of the All Songs Considered’s host Bob Boilen. Tiny Desk has risen to the heights of popularity, and is now a staple in today’s culture. Carter, who helped build it to what it is today, understands the task at hand, and knows how special this platform is. “I feel like it’s part of my duty to continue to do this,” he says. Not only continuing to push current stars and rising artists to the forefront, but also giving flowers to legends like El Debarge, Patti LaBelle, Charlie Wilson, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, and more.

“I think that it helps to bridge that gap and it helps to bring the youth over to these legendary legacy artists, and to remind them of their greatness,” Carter explains. “I think a lot of times when I bring some of the artists that I bring to the Tiny Desk, this should serve as a reminder of their status in music.”

“So, I feel the ultimate responsibility, from a cultural standpoint, is to show people and use our huge audience to spread awareness about these artists,” he continues. “To grow and continue to be a voice for black culture, and for diversity as a whole.”

Black Music Artists Changing The Game For The Community

You often hear about popular music artists making donations or doing charity work, but some take it above and beyond. There are Black music artists who are not only leaving their mark on the industry but their communities, as well. Some are on the grounds of their hometown supporting programs and initiatives, while others are giving a voice to those leading the charge. No matter what they're doing, they're using their platform to make a better world for their Black brothers and sisters.

Here are some Black music artists who are flexing their influence to give back to their community.

Kendrick Lamar

Hip-hop icon Kendrick Lamar is known for capturing the Black community through his music and giving back. The "Alright" rapper has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Compton Unified School District's various music, sports, and after-school programs to keep kids off the streets. He also pledged $50,000 to his high school, as well, and is a regular face in his hometown. His impact on Compton is so significant, that he was awarded a key to the city and named the California State Senate's 35th Generational Icon in 2016.

Janelle Monáe

The 'I Like That' singer also put together a powerful protest anthem called "Say Her Name," which is a 17-minute long tribute to the Black woman lost to police brutality and racial injustice. It was also a collaboration with the African American Policy Forum. Fifteen music artists and activists were also featured in the song, including Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Zoë Kravitz, and Mj Rodriguez.

H.E.R.

H.E.R. has given a resounding voice to BLM protestors through her infamous song, "I Can't Breathe," which was released shortly after George Floyd's murder. The "FIght For You" singer told NME her purpose as an artist changed after releasing the anthem.

"At first I didn’t realize activism was part of that purpose but I guess my voice matters,” she says. “I definitely feel a responsibility because I have this platform, but I think we should all speak out against things that we don’t like and things that should change, regardless of where we come from. Hate is hate.”

Now, the Grammy-winning artist wants to focus on expanding proper music education in American schools. H.E.R. is also helping budding female musicians through her "Girls with Guitars" Instagram Live series. The "Best Part" singer recently took home the American Express Impact Award at the 2022 Billboard Women in Music event for using her platform to advocate for women.

Noname

If it's one thing Noname knows, it's making an impact. The "Montego Bay" rapper's Noname Book Club has been gaining a lot of traction, promoting reading and encouraging support of bookstores owned by people of color. The book club has partnerships with libraries in Oakland, Chicago, and New York City to promote chosen books to readers. Noname is working on getting a physical headquarters for the club with plans to host book drives, meet-ups, free movie screenings, political education classes, food drives, and much more.
