Hey Sandra,
I’m an avid reader and I know you are a fan of natural beauty and I feel that we feel the same way on how the media portray us “black” women when it comes to our hair and brown skin (like we aren’t good enough). This was a very huge deal for me because I grew up with bald edges and very nappy hair and felt that “long straight” hair was the only way for any brown skinned girl to make it. I’m working on a blogging site (BoldisBeauty) where I want all girls of all races to come share their insecurities and more…and come OUT to face their fears of the world. When I finally came out I felt like a million bucks and I want to share that feeling with millions of other women/girls who are prisoners of their own bodies.
Take Care!
Saleisia

I totally agree. I believe that if you can rock a short hair do and you still pretty, then YOU are pretty!!! A lot of females HIDE behind their long hair and/or weave…..
I remember the first time I chopped off all my hair…when my beautican turned my around in the chair and I looked at myself in the mirror, I FELL IN LOVE WITH MYSELF!!! It was like seeing my face for the first time…..I aint been the same since then either….
Pretty girl. Good for her.
Hey Tatted!…Mirsmommy….cutie pie kingston…Cocoabana….East..all y’all….. :wave:

Good morning Frenchie!!!

@mirs
@Sandra, remember that Monica, Missy Elliott, and Lil Kim song that was on here??? Well did you hear that Ms. Wallace will not clear the track if they keep Lil Kim on it?????

I can just hear her saying in her west indian accent.. “I don’t want that hussie getting any shine!”

I must admit though, I heard the song on my local radio station!
@ FELINE I dont think any marks should be photoshopped, she’s basically saying take me for what I am.
@ Tatted
back to you. Enjoy your Friday
Heyyyy Yvonne, Kingstonn, Cocoa, Chi, Daisy, errybody

@Tatted you sing good like Sade?
@ Cocoa…..I’m sure you’re right but there are waaaay too many positive posts for that to outweight them.
@Val
FELINE I dont think any marks should be photoshopped, she’s basically saying take me for what I am.

Cute girl. All the pics are nice, but I really like the last one.
It made me think of that John Mayer song, “Your Body Is A Wonderland”
I like her message!
Go girl!
Her hair does looked sprayed on. Looks strange.
@Tatted: So what do they say about big heads cuz Lawd knows I have a tank sitting on my shoulders!! Does that mean, I’m intelligent? Gifted? Loyal?

CHUUP, BLUNT! I knew YOU would catch the ‘lil ear comment!
I don’t sing like Sade, I sang like me BUT the crowd use to love it!
I won $250 @ karaoke one time @ a local bar (didn’t even know it was a competition) singing Paramour’s Misery Business. You should’ve seen ALL the “R & B” singers of the night looking @ me like, bish, what are you doing! I was “rocking out” had a mohawk & everything back then! I guess the judges felt it!
Photoshopped is over used….We dont even know whats real or fake because of that….
HAPPY Friday Everybody !!!

HEY EVERYBODY!!!
Good Morning!! Beautiful girl, professional pics. I would work on the makeup- squared brows and clear thick lip glass- this works on the street but in pictures it comes off a little too basic.

Lol @ Sunrise, they’re alright. feeling a little heavy this morning
I just wonder why nobody can’t be beautiful with clothes on, why do women have to always take their clothes off to feel beautiful , that just puzzles me, even on FB and twitter, they can’t have a peson 2 see them for who they are, they have to get half naked, it’s like saying see i’m beautiful because i have a 28 waist and pretty brown , if that is all you think that make you beautiful then u got a long way to go, Imjustsayin

Heyyy Sandra
I didn’t read the post, or listen to the track when you posted. (my bad)
I just remembered the title of it. They mentioned it on the radio this morning, and said that Ms. Wallace was not having it.
I want to see Aunt Sandra in a natural Bob with a bang. A lot of woman who wear weave actually have long hair under the weaves! They need to start wearing their natural hair. It’s a beautiful thing!
@ mirsmommy: It’s okay, hun. At least I know you read the comments
oh and Morning Glory is very pretty, just like the last one Auntie posted.

__________________
I agree! When I wore my hair long and natural, I hated it! Insecure, weave wearing bishes would come up to me and run their hands over the back of my head, feeling for tracks. To this day industry people still remind me about my long hair, because, apparently it was a thing of amazement to them. Now I LOVE my short hair. I’m so proud of my freeze curls!
Beutiful?? Are u kidding me?? She needs hair extensions so she can walk around “pattin her weave” all day. And she needs to add about 25lbs on that butt so she can have a fat giggly lumpy azz falling out of her shorts.
Seriously, that is one incredibly beautiful woman!!!
@Run (Comment #123)
I CAN’T speak for the All-Out RATCHETNESS of FB/Twitter BUT Females are OBJECTS of Beauty-n-Affection (And SOME Perfection…) And THEY Should be ADMIRED & ADORED regarding that State of Beauty !!!
There is ABSOLUTELY Nothing WRONG with a Gorgeous Female wearing Underwear or Bikini for OUR Viewing Pleasure IMO
Pretty Girl – I mean chit what else is there say IMO beautiful women with confidence get noticed regardless of the length of their hair
Happy Friday SR
Happy friday to you to choco !!
Here i go being a hypocrite but to you who do have long hair. Get a “quick weave” for that freeze curl look that way you could go back to naturally long the following week. I believe woman with long natural hair should only wear quick weaves for the short look every once in a while. Then again i haven’t seen quick weaves in a minute lol. @Aunt Sandy you prolly cut all your hair off wait not all but most because you were tired of fooling with it every morning. I say keep it and just put it in a doobie with the pins when you can’t be bothered lol. I love LONG hair! Lord knows i do! But ill be MAD AZ HELL when someone chops off their long locks. :sighs:
@ daprinceofradio: I’m the opposite: I do not like long hair. The only reason I wore my hair long when I was younger was because it grew too fast and I couldn’t afford a partial relaxer every 2 weeks to keep my beady beads under control. So I hid my beady beads under my long hair. I would wait the required 6 weeks to get a touch up, but then my stylist would fuss at me for waiting 6 weeks because my beady beads was so long they caused my relaxed hair to break. I tell you I suffered with long hair all my life. Now I feel FREE and HAPPY with my short hair!
dang im diggin that last pic….wouldnt really call it all natural cuz it seem like all she did was just cut her hair, and took some pics…I need to see her long hair pics, i bet she extra sexy with long hair.
Hi all!
This was a good post! Love my fellow au natural Sistas!!!!
Curlies, Kinkies, Wavies….it’s all love Love!
She’s hawt
I’m a wanna-be jigga boo. I cut off my natural long hair 3 years ago because I was talked into a texturizer that was too straight. I wear a shoulder length golden blond curly afro- I’m relaxer free but gots to have me some color!! I had many “good hair” moments because men want to run their fingers through my hair and I have to tell them I have the type of hair you grab a handful of- if you want silky smooth you got the wrong chic.
Nice Pics!
I
the backgrounds…
Gorgeous woman
OAN (kinda not really) most women who are pro long hair are women who’ve never really had long hair of their own. JMO but I’ve noticed the women in my family who have always had hair will cut, shave, dye their hair whenever the mood strikes without giving a damn and look great while doing it while friends/acquaintances will sit back griping and complaining about how a woman should never cut her hair, why do it, you don’t know what you’re doing and mess like that. It takes a truly confident and secure woman to make decisions on her hair (be it long, short, red, purple or gray) based on what they want vs what other people will think
Lol @crickett &
@aunt sandy #Teamlonghairdontcare but you do have the head for short hair because like oprah told the audience member who asked that oprah cut all her hair off and go short or natural. Oprah said to Camille that she wants to go as short as her one day and then Bill Cosby goes Oprah NO you don’t have the HEAD for that. He was so right. Oprah agreed.
That’s what I’m talking about Saleisia, be your own motivation!!! Be confident with yourself boo-boo.
Sandra I am so glad
you post this because I really need for my sistahs and other races of women to see that no matter how you look, no matter how light or dark you are, it’s what you think of yourself that makes you beautiful and if you know who you are then all others then can see the true beauty of you. I don’t know why we glorify the light skin chicks, the fake hair, make-up, and fake titts and butt. But this chick here is Michael Jackson BAD, she got the natural look down pack and it looks really good
Regarding weaves…there was a story out a few months ago about how weaves are destroying the scalps of black women and causing baldness. I’m sure the situation has been made worse by these sistas getting weaves in their cousin’s kitchen who “taught” herself how to do them.

I guess the other girl, they didnt like for some other reason because they call the other chic f@t and posing to $eductive
Kinda reminds me in the face and in the cut of a more v0luptious, brown version of the light-skinned girl from Janaye (sic).
