I’m Thinking About Perming My Hair

And I'm thinking about cutting it, too *covers face and runs away* Let me explain. I have recently been fantasizing about doing something different with my hair. All my life, I have never done anything special. I have braided it, permed it, sewn weaves on it, put wigs on it, and kept it natural. That's it. That's all I've done. I have never cut my hair for the purpose of changing its style, nor have I ever, ever dyed it. The only times I cut my hair were (1) when I went from elementary to Read More

Can We Talk About Angelina Jolie’s Powder Disaster?

On Tuesday, it was all over the news that the perfect Angelina Jolie was seen walking the red carpet with "white face." I didn't really think too much of it. I didn't pay it much attention until it was revealed why she had white face: her makeup artist used the wrong finishing powder. She used the HD finishing powder for film, instead of the finishing powder for flash cameras. I was intrigued, but I didn't realize how intrigued I was until I went to bed that night and dreamt about Angelina Read More
