Remember this?!
i want to be famous so i can declare war on weaves everywhere -- and any black woman who doesn't think that how she looks isn't presentable or acceptable, until she straightens her hair and dyes it some bizarre shade of blonde. i'm going to be a freakin' ultra blackgrrl superhero, just like cleopatra jones or foxy brown -- except instead of getting "the man" out of the community, i'm going to get him out of your hair.
Sorry...I've already taken the role of Soul Sista #1. ;P I do need a sidekick who I'm calling Afrospeck. I don't know why. We can make the Black Justice League, handing out smackdowns to the dark skinned sister with blond hair, blue eyes, and 5" fake nails, to the brotha who feels that his jeri-curl is not only a necessity, but still cool, to everyone processes, weaves, and heats but has the nerve to talk about "keepin' it real".
I have friends who'd die if they can't get that weekly press and curl and look at me with my locs like I'm a freak. They say, "Well, you don't even wear make up..you can do that sort of thing because you're like a free spirit. Me? I'll look like a slave if I don't press." I'm thinking, "You'll look like a bald, baby sparrow if you keep up with the hot comb." 45 years old in wigs because they can't stop pressin' it out.
