Conspiracy Theory
We can all get carried away with our thoughts sometimes... conspiracies must have some truth!
There has been a lot of buzz about a casting call for MTV’s True Life on Hair.
I feel my obsessed should grant me my very own episode of TRUE LIFE, so I wrote the following letter…
Dear Casting Director,
I have attached a picture of myself admiring my hair. I am still working on my growth journey.
::sigh::
Yes, my reflection in a mirror makes me stop and check out my kinnks.
Is your hair your obsession? Yes. I dedicated an entire website to natural hair.
Do your friends and family think you are out of control with your hair obsession? Yes, they tell me daily.
Do you spend hours of your day and week to style and manage your hair? Yes, but don’t most women?
Are you digging yourself into a financial hole just to deal with your hair? The term is product junkie.

In general people are feed up. Unemployment rates point towards the sky, while corporations have record profits. The greedy elite lobby politicians as their puppets.
“Occupy Wall street” is the movement around the nation demanding change.
While the group is not very clear on their terms, their voices are being heard.
It seems like the wider spread the protest, the more diverse the crowd.
Thanks to groups like “Occupy the Hood” who want to ensure under represented communities are actually represented.
I guess on the outside, looking in… Black women have a different obsession with hair. (This is a fact, especially coming from a hair obsessed blog).
Now, when trying to market to Black women, I don’t think it is wise to mention our hair obsession, and lack of Vagina obsession. Just saying.
I mention this because of the recent Summer’s Eve’s Advertisements. (Click Read More for Video)
A Black hand talks about all the time spend in the club and, “hair on your head”, and the neglect to the hair down there while drawing a cactus.
The Latino hand starts off by saying “Aye, Aye, Aye” and then in a heavily accented voice mentions the “trashing the tacky leopard thong.” She evens mentions the ease of child birth while several storks carrying babies are displayed.
I visited Seriously Natural, An older Natural’s perception blog in which I first heard the TSA asked to search a woman’s natural hair.
I always try and support the TSA agents because they are doing their job, and trying to keep us safe. I do not fly often..but the few times this year I have had body scans, and pulled to the side to have my liquids tested. Forgetting the TSA Horror Stories I patiently stand a side and follow their directions. I have heard heard stories of people protesting by walking through the security points in their underwear or naked. (I thought to myself these people are being bratty. Imagine if they were a minority that face regular suspicion). How quickly we forget how we felt the fatal day of 9/11.
With all the said, I would be very cheeped out if a stranger had to put his fingers in my hair. Yuck-o. Click read more for the video about the TSA’s natural hair search.
Do you think the TSA was racially motivated?

Last December I had a post about Movies with Natural Hair Creatures. For whatever reason, pop culture equates natural hair with alien life forms.
Latest example is Katie Perry featuring Kanye West in her music video ET
