I wore twist-outs Thursday into the weekend. By the time Saturday came around, my hair started to poof more and more. Saturday night we went for Sushi. While looking at the menu, the lady from the table next to me smiled and walked over. I just wanted to tell you, she explains. My boyfriend is a photographer. He was just telling me that if he had his camera and his business card he would’ve asked to take a picture of your gorgeous hair.

I finally saw Chris Rock’s Good Hair documentary.
One of the movie previews was Precious based on Sapphire’s book Push. When I read that book in high school, my perception of life changed. That movie/book highlights serious issues we have in our community such as child abuse, and self-hatred. I hated reading the book because it was so painful. By the end, I did believe there is hope. I am definitely going to support this movie by going to see it!

Have you heard of the “So In Style” Barbie?
“So In Style” is a new project Mattel launched last month. Christie, Barbie’s 1960s previously Black friend was a duplicate of Barbie painted brown. Grace, Kara and Trichelle look very different with fuller lips, wider nose and more pronounced cheek bones. These dolls mentor little sisters and are very career minded. The dolls reflect varying skin tones of light brown, chocolate and caramel. This is good right?
Well creator Stacey McBride-Irby says when playing with her 6-year old daughter, the highlight is playing with Barbie’s long her.
The “So In Style” Barbie is a great step in the right direction, but incomplete. The dolls have received mixed reviews because it ignored the HAIR factor.
Being Black encompasses culture, facial features, color and hair. One can be considered “Black” with just one.

The hype continues. Thanks Candi for letting me know that even ABC’s day time talk-show “The View” tackled the issue of Natural Hair thanks to Tyra’s “unveiling” of her not so natural hair. If you’d didn’t catch the episode, check out the video. They begin the hair discussion around 12:55.
Booooooo!
There was so much hype about Tyra’s REAL hair, and truth be told….it was her relaxed hair. Don’t get me wrong her hair is beautiful and long…. but I would have truly been happier with a headful of kinnks!! I will congratulate Tyra on taking a step towards freedom. Freedom of her crutch, the weave :o)
Check it out for yourself…
