Public Service Announcement
I would like to make a Public Service Announcement.
Attention black people: You all can carry off all sorts of hairstyles, including the fade or even outright bald, in a way that looks great and makes other people envious. But seriously, the giant 'fro thing? It didn't look good in the '70s, and it still doesn't look good now.
Remember: Just because you can doesn't mean you should do it.
If it's any consolation, I'll never perm my hair to make it curly again (and yes, I really used to do that back in the '80s).
You too, huh?
In the late 80s, had a long mullet, permed in the back. It went great with my parachute pants and fishnet muscle shirt. I was definitely "the shit", but sadly not in the way that I thought. :)
Are you QUITE sure you've quit drinking? Or did you not remember that you'd turned off the spelling-checker?
I will one post my high school pic, if I haven't destroyed them all. Biiig 'fro. Ben Wallace is a piker.
"I will one day..."
Proof that life isn't fair: I've never done anything to my hair. No hair spray, dyes of any sort, etc... And at age 20, it's already quite grey. I should take all the necessary steps needed to obtain a huge technicolour 'fro, just so I can say I've earned my lack of pigment.
I, too, could claim to have never done anything to my hair, but in fact I have braided it and occasionally trimmed it.
I will admit to having trimmed my beard in dumb ways in my youth, including a brief fling with muttonchops.
Hair? What's that???
Well, unless you count my back. But that ain't braided.
Yet...
I'm just glad that all photos of me from my Jheri Curl days have been destroyed.
I need a crew-cut.
Steven, make that a high and tight. Screw the crew-cut, it's too butch...even for you. Although I wish I could sport corn-rows but alas, my european genes won't allow it.
Black is Beautiful. Condi Rice is so sexy that I may vote for Bush after all, just to keep her up there.
