Robbyne KaamilComedian, Actress, and New Yorker Robbyne Kaamil is not afraid to sit you down and tell you how it REALLY is. She stars in her own one woman show Raw & Real which explores the worlds of politics, racism, relationships, and sex with her “raunchy, over the top, in-your-face demeanor” like no one else.
We decided to ask a diverse group of young movers and shakers across the city where they like to hang out. Places that are under the radar, "best kept secrets" if you will. See what they have to say

One thing I noticed in the recent spat between GOFG and DBTH is the negative comments lobbed at Rachelle, namely by Solish, calling her “a typical sex and the city wannabe”. What? What does this mean? Do we lack such creativity that we now compare all female bloggers to Carrie Bradshaw, even if there is simply no relation? Sure you can call Rachelle a country bumpkin, naive at times, but a 30 year-old dating columnist she is not. We already made the painfully obvious observation that if Carrie Bradshaw was a blogger today, she would of course be Julia Allison.
But it gets better. The next criticism is that well if she isn’t Carrie reincarnate, then she represents the whole post Sex and the City fallout that has harmed Manhattan. Okay, let’s think about this for a second. Do you really think SATC begot a new Manhattan culture, or rather was indicative of a pre-existing culture? If you think the former is true then you have way too much confidence in the clairvoyant abilities and influence of television writers. Of course the later is in fact true. SATC aimed to capture what was going on in Manhattan during a time period when women were becoming independent, and were nothing like our mothers’ generation. Whether you agree with it, or hate it, don’t label all women with it.
Ok Ok Ok OK….Enough! I hereby declare a moratorium on mentioning anything related to DBTH for the remainder of the week. Are you satisfied?
love you guys, but... -

look, i love you guys, but the dbth thing was a bit overboard. you guys just wouldn’t let that stop, and it is starting to seem like those guys are taking the high road. i think it’s doubtful that the guy who writes it was directly insulting you through the comments, rachelle. you guys were arguing with their commenters! don’t stoop to their level. assuming that guy was doing his own comments is something that there is no way you can prove.
