Friday Poetry From Yours Truly...Enjoy

Small bottle of wine

Full of excitement

Laughter abound

Attitude positive and playful

No need for melancholy moods

Only funky drumbeats

And uplifting ballads

As I sway my hips

Enjoy my new grown natural curly kinky

Embracing my fierce, confident, sexy swag

Let the poetry escape me

As destined

Life waits for no one

And I do not intend to be a fool

Trying to beat Life at a waiting game.

Happy humpday....

Here are some great quotes from the lovely Miss Iman (model, author, entrepreneur) and thank you to Miss Gina Renay who put me on with one of Iman's quotes from the book Black and Beautiful by Barbara Summers.

“You find Latin girls who are as dark or darker than I am, so it wasn't about where they came from, ... I think people just like to celebrate their own beauty now rather than be put into a box.”

 

"I carry myself like royalty because I am royalty within myself."

We Always Bring Back A Former Trend, or did it leave at all?

Natural hair is so classy and the major trend nowadays among our women. Thing is it never really left. Our sisters have always worn their hair natural mostly. Sure perms rocked the scene for a minute but soon enough women were sick and tired of burning their scalp, 'literally' and also burning the opportunities for healthy hair growth. Not that Chris Rock and Dr. Oz brought on the immediate need to throw out the relaxer kits and slow down those touch up appointments with the stylist, but it certainly helped. Look at the carefree folks in this back in the day video of the Soul Train dancers. Damn near everybody looked free spirited, colorful and beautiful in their natural tresses. Something about sporting natural hair that adds a special sexy glow.
