You guys. When ladies change their hair, here's the thing: their faces stay the same. I can't count how many times it's happened to me. It even happened today. Meeting people that I've met before and noting their obvious confusion based on a lazy lack of recognition. But we know each other, sir/madam. We laughed. …
“edge control”?Â
Who are the scientists or hairologists that create the gel for those of us with edges that have temperamental minds of their own? They need to work harder. Because people like me with edges like me laugh at these gels, these silly things that do absolutely nothing to tame these rebellious follicles that rest on …
Fabu Fashion Tuesday: What is that? Velvet?
If you know that line from Coming to America, then yes, you belong here. So yes, I wore a velvet dress this past weekend for a special worship event. This is notable because I've never worn the fabric. Not even when it was the it thing to wear in the 90s. (By the way, a …

Bonjour, December.
I welcomed the new month with a high puff, a little red lippie, and a sweater/turtleneck combo because it's currently freezing in Dallas.

Blogvember #14: Le Fro and Le Chapeau.
I'm quite happy to inform you that I bought a chapeau (hat) this weekend. Of course, discovering that le fro (also referred to as She) could handle hats isn't new; I discussed that wonderful revelation here. And yet those reservations about hats and fros and large heads don't entirely go away, do they? We need …
things i currently need #9: décor dreams. (Blogvember #8)

Fabu Fashion Round-Up: Elevator Runways
Hi there. You know about my new job. Prior to starting last week, I did a bit of shopping for some new wears, being that a number of my things were mostly ill-fitting and above all, I wanted to start nice and fresh for this new environment. I hit up Sears (seriously, their business-y stuff …
Geneviève.
That's the name I've given my wig. SN: wigs are like sliced bread when it comes to my eternal love and devotion. I can slap a wig cap over my two-strand twists that I didn't feel like taking out--which is exactly what's going on as we e-speak--and transform my entire look for the day. Pretty …
