Nappy Nap Models

I like to highlight natural hair models. It's not because I think that models are the only form of beauty, not even close. I see beautiful woman every day! At the gym, at the grocery store, etc... But what I do like is that we now have images of ourselves in the model, fashion and acting world. Those images help us and our children to know that our kind of beauty is just as good any one else's. You don't have to be blond haired, with blue eyes, to look good. Nappy Nap Models is a company that features natural hair models. I want to say thank you to them for gathering all these lovely ladies together to represent Natural Beauty.

"NappyNap models is the sistah company of NappyNap Nation, the Nu Social Network for NappyNap Sistahs. NappyNap models is a platform for NappyNap sistahs who are ready to embrace their natural beauty and share it with the world. NappyNap models are definitely making a name for themselves. Never before has there been a modelling agency of this calibre. NappyNap models are all strictly Nappy and we will not compromise!"

Someone gave me the Stank Eye!!

This is totally off topic. But here we go - I kind of have a large chest, always have. I've had my ups and downs with excepting my chest size and it is definitely a continuous work in progress. Just to give you an idea, my bra cup size is a 38 G. Crazy right? Any way... Right before my periods (which is right now), they will get bigger because of water gain. Not much I can do about it. So today, I left for my daily work out. As I was walking, I did not notice that I had dropped some money by accident.

So a nice guy, yelled out for me to hold up. And then he helped me pick up my money. I was very grateful, so when we both stood up, I said "Thank you very much!" Because he could have stayed quite and just pocketed the money. I notice right away that he had a lady friend with him, so I made sure to look her directly in the eyes, and I gave her a genuine smile, as I thanked them both.

Why did she look at my chest, then at me, and give me the Stank Eye!!! .... lol. Wow sis, what did I do to you? Unfortunately this is not the first time this has happened. I try to be as friendly as possible with folks. And occasionally I get someone that will judge me because of my large boobies. I think I should right a song about it. Instead of India Arie's "I am not my hair", it will be "I am not by boobs, I am not your expectations...". O well, you can't please everyone all the time. I can laugh about it now, but that don't still doesn't make it right. :-P

This isn't me in this photo, but I completely agree with the shirts message.

Happy 4th of July!!

Have a wonderful holiday weekend...

Kind of freaked out a little...lol

Last night, I was on the computer with one of my daughter's, playing a learning game. My lovely husband came by and wanted to see how we were doing. So things are going great. Then I realize something. He is holding our cat in his arms, standing above my head. Nothing wrong with that right? Well it would have been cool - if my cat wasn't shedding up a storm. So while my husband is petting my cat above my head, all this cat hair is just falling on my head... Aaaagghhh!!!

I love my cats. But cat hair and loc's do not mix. If cat hair gets in loc's/dreadlocks, it can get embedded in the hair and become a part of the loc. My husband is usually very careful about that kind of stuff. But at that moment, he didn't not realize how much our cat (Jazzy) was shedding. So he helped me get out all the cat hair that was visible to the eye. But after that, I also spent about 10 minutes brushing my locs, just to make sure that all the cat hair was out. Crisis averted... I can breath again.
