Sorry about this, but please just give security your I.D. – we don’t want no trouble.
Okay now that you’re in, Look our Bar Room. :silly: :cheerful: Annie Decorated it and I think she’s done a FABULOUS job!!!!! Thanks Annie!!!!
After, if you are still walking, talking and coherent you might want to stop by our gift shop!!!!
N O W S E R V I N G :
Hey there handsome, excuse me for a minute I’ll be right with ya’ 
MENU LIST:
N E W ON THE M E N U!:
DDD, also served by the bottle
Dirty Dirty Dirty Diana
INTRODUCING The dirty, Dirty, DIRTY DIANA: Some of you addicts have been pretending. And it’s really not necessary. When you come into the bar, have a seat. Your drink has already been prepared. We’ll even serve you the bottle. After all, it’s got your name on it. :yes: :alien:
Warning: Do NOT Mix this drink with Bad Boy Shots. We’ve heard some stories, let me tell ya!
Bad Boy Shot
THE BAD BOY SHOT: Let’s face it, you’re not a good girl and you’ve never been one. You need something strong in ya and this big, black bottle IS IT. One shot is usually enough though we at CCC already know that’s not all you want. Pure Testosterone, raw masculinity infused with some BAD a$$ attitude – all you need to do is open up, throw this one back and wait for it.
:pouty: :sick: Warning (Drink Responsibly)
MJ
- MJ, Too
MJ: We’ve taken this infusion of all natural MJ bodily extracts and perfectly blended it into this refreshingly, naturally sweet and tangy citrus beverage we all ooooooof course, MJ. And we swear, it taste just like JUICE! We can’t really explain what it will do to you — experience it for yourself. You’ll understand after your very first swallow. :whistle:
A Wet Sabah -- Creamy Sabah w/ just a hint of Michael in her.
A Wet Sabah: Creamy Sabah w/ just a hint of Michael in her.
In honor of our favorite couple’s special night we at CCC have created two special drinks:
CHASTITY and UNLEASHED
Ms. CHASTITY
MS. CHASTITY: Coy and uninhibited, sweet and sincere. Remember when you were without fear, honest and whole — do you want to feel like that little girl again; do you want to experience, if only for a moment, the blissfulness of youth? Enjoy, Saniia’s Ms. CHASTITY. Experience the quality that captured Michael’s heart. INNOCENCE IS INTOXICATING.
Unleashed
UNLEASHED: Years of discipline, control and abstinence can only result in one thing: UNLEASHED. We were there. We captured it. We bottled it. Taste the flavor of unbridled passion.
Liquid CobraCrack™
Liquid CobraCrack ™
LIQUID COBRACRACK™ There hasn’t been a chapter uploaded for days! Your internet connection is on the blitz and you can’t find your IPod. Your family and friends have completely disassociated themselves from you because you’ve become a walking zombie. Not one of them understands why you’ve been staring at the blank screen of your computer for days now. But if you don’t get some Michael in you and in you quick, you will just explode!
Due to the number of addicts jonesing outside of CCC we rolled up our sleeves and created this TEMPORARY infusion of Michael in the form of Liquid CobraCrack ™. Stock up now while supplies last. Keep some in the back of your fridge, in the garage, under your desk at work and in your nightstand. Never be without Michael again!!! But Be Warned: Liquid CobraCrack ™ is equally as addictive as the real thing and there is a high likelihood of developing a tolerance very quickly. :sad: You really just can’t replace the real thing!!!!
The cool, refreshing boyish joy of Michael in your glass.
MINTY MIKE: Inspired by Sonia: We were just goofing off, experimenting when we took Michael’s cool smile, his refreshingly sincere good nature, his boyish charm and added just a dash of delight and to our surprise, POOF!!! A Minty Mike appeared! One sip and we couldn’t stop laughing!!! Almost scientifically identical to the chemical compound of JOY, this drink will chase away any and all of your blues and put a peppermint — permanent smile on your face. Enjoy!
Creamy Sabah
CREAMY SABAH: Creamy Chocolate Mike w/ just a hint of Sabah. We searched high and low for a non-x-rated picture that we could put up and this is what we came up with — WHEWWWW!!!!
Pure
Prince Michael’s PURE – Cool, Sweet and light as mist, this magical drink refreshingly satisfies your craving for Prince Michael without the calories or the alcohol. Passion distilled to its purest form, PURE WILL cure your thirst . . . but alas not your desire. Feel free to drink it all day and all night but be warned, Prince Michael always leaves you wanting more.
:wub: L.O.V.E.:When it comes to shots, we don’t offer anything that is more electrifying. We are serving the pure essence of Michael. It IS all that he had ever stood for and nothing more. People who met him basked in its warmth. It was in his words, his actions, his demeanor, his behavior and most of all, his smile. He simply exuded it from his pores. He gave and never asked for anything in return and now we offer the same to you.
If you’re feeling down and you need a pick me up; if you have been hit with a dose of negativity and need something to chase it away, we present to you something that will fill you with only the most natural of highs. It is ten times stronger than any of our other drinks and lasts twice as long: L.O.V.E. Have a shot today and experience the love of Michael Jackson. ***If you experience an immediate sense of peace, joy and contentment, don’t be alarmed that’s the magic of Michael in your system.
Chocolate Covered Mike
CHOCOLATE COVERED MIKE: For those of us with a sweet tooth introducing, Chocolate covered Mike. It’s decadently sweet, addictive, satisfying and unbelievably good for you. It’s just too perfect, OMG!!!!
- Sangre
SANGRE: Other establishments serve Sangria. We serve Sangre. Simply put, this sensually, seductive mixture of perfectly blended fruit, aged wine and just a tinsy weensy drop of Michael’s blood will invade your system and change your personality FOREVER. Undercover cameras captured the woman in the picture above seconds after she took one sip – we are not even sure she had a chance to swallow. Michael NEVER knew what hit him but I hear he was smiling for days afterward. Try it – if you’re woman enough. :devil:
The Force - it has a lot of power!
THE FORCE: This drink is served with a resuscitation kit. I don’t’ think I need to say more!
The Prince Royale
THE PRINCE ROYALE: You’re a lady, and you know truthfully that is the only kind of woman who can capture Michael’s heart. You only drink to relax, not to get drunk like some of the lesser women who frequent Da Smooth Criminal. You’re not interested in cheap sex, you want a life time commitment from the object of your affection. Your drink will be served in our finest crystal, the ones etched in gold, on a silver platter in the VIP section of the bar. The smooth and fruity undertones of this vintage wine will peel away the layers of your resistance until you are as free from your inhibitions as any Creamy Mike lover. The only difference is you’ve done it with style. The price of this drink only reflects your superior self-worth. Go ahead splurge. You’re worth it! And Michael will definitely take notice. He enjoys the finer things in life and so do you.
Thug Passion
THUG PASSION: Okay it’s no Michael but you’re strapped for cash. The flavor doesn’t last as long but it’s just a ‘lil something to keep you going until you can get a REAL drink. A favorite of our financially challenged customers. What you see is what you get and damn, come on girls, you have to admit, it looks good as hell.
THE MABHA * Michael chose the name so excuse the spelling : )
THE MABHA: A smooth and tangy combination of Sabah and Michael with a twist and zesty kick at the end. Don’t nurse it, ’cause it get’s flat. Drink it while it still has that sizzle!
THE GENTLEMAN
THE GENTLEMAN WILL stay in you all night and will also be the first thing you feel when you wake up in the morning. Now let’s be clear: It’s not a hangover. It’s better than a hangover. It’s a HANG ON I’M CUMIN’.
Cool, milky, deceptively sweet.
THE MIKEGASM: Hands down, our most popular drink! Cool, Milky and deceptively sweet, you won’t see where the bang is coming from but IT WILL hit ya!!!!! What’s worst, you’ll keep ordering it anyway. We can’t explain why it explodes in your mouth, we just know we like it!!!! Make sure you have a designated driver if you start throwing back this one. We’re not going to take responsibility and you WON’T have just one.
Mr. M, Home Brewed Right Here at CCC daily!
MR. M: This is our signature beer. We brew it on the premises but if you’re watching yourself, you can get our light version instead.
Mrs. M, For Our Lady Cowgirls who WANNA remember the good times!
MRS. M: The light version of our homemade brew, for our responsible drinkers who also want to make it home in one piece.
Holoma's Soup
HOLOMA’S SOUP: This deceptively potent drink has babies popping up all over the place and since Michael loves da kids, we just can’t take it off the menu. It’s spicy and fruity and served with a strangely cool mist circling up top. Don’t mind the woman in the back hovering over the cauldron. She mixes a big batch of it every morning and though we’ve never asked for a specific list of ingredients, she says that it’s all natural and we trust her!!!
Creamy Mike
Creamy Mike w/ Extra Creme
CREAMY MIKE: (Inspired by Annie) Pure milk chocolate, lightened to perfection with thick, heavy cream and a blend of exotic liqueurs, the taste of this drink will linger in your mouth for hours. You’ll find yourself constantly licking your lips and thinking about it even after you’ve cleaned the last drop out of the glass with your finger. So delicious we naturally prepare two when it’s ordered because everyone gulps them down so quickly. BE WARNED: This drink WILL give you a particularly wicked alcoholic sugar rush. A number of women find it very difficult to keep their legs closed even after one small sip.
The Foreplay
THE FOREPLAY: (Inspired by Martinigirl) Trust me. Looks CAN be deceiving. This seemingly happy go lucky drink will put you flat on your back and keep you there. No matter what you’ve heard YOU ARE NOT READY for this drink. The tangy taste of pineapples smothered in Amaretto and Southern Comfort will knock you right off your feet – literally. Once on your back, you WILL stay there for days . . . and nights. I took this off the menu because I lost a couplah return customers. It’s served with a life size cut out of the Michael pic above. A bunch of people ordered, left and were never seen again.
Golden Boy
THE GOLDEN BOY: (Inspired by Enola) From the moment this Martini came into existence we knew it was special. Inexplicably sliding down your throat like icy cold molten lava, we struggled to formulate an adequate description. Fearing, because the drink was so powerful, that we would face multiple law suits if we put this volatile concoction on our menu we decided in the end it would only be safe to offer ONE drink PER PERSON per LIFE TIME. Ladies, ladies, before you protest, please try and understand: The Martini . . . shakes/stirs itself! (Cue dramatic music) ( O-O )
The Thriller
THE THRILLER — (Inspired by MJQuan) It sizzles, it pops, it dances in your mouth and then it gets down in you and makes you wanna dance, too. One sip, and your hand is up in the air, you’re pursing your lips and saying, “Oooooo”!!! This is our most popular non-alcoholic drink. You can take it all day and never get tired. Enjoy!

OMG this is hilarious, and impressive at the same time, Michael would get a kick out of this, he would love her, and invite her to be in one of his videos.
She’s going to be a Youtube sensation for sure, but why did you think of me? LOL :ermm: :lol:
If you think I can dance your mistaken but thanks for the compliment, she’s funky!! She going to be a great dancer prooves that white girls can dance. Thanks for sharing!
hi girls…Sabine, i’m so sorry to hear about the fire. It is always a wake-up call i think when we are so close to tragedy. I’ve been there too and it always stirs up those feelings you described for me and makes me hold my babies a little closer. Do you know that old folk song “There But For Fortune”? I always think of it, it’s about how we are all the same and how truly fragile our material lives are.
and bad stuff can happen ANWHERE. I live in a pretty quiet neighborhood but one day last year woke up to find police tape all around my back yard area, a neighbor got into a fight with his brother and stabbed him right behind my house! my kids were a little freaked out.
Enola, you make me laugh with the farm smell! I grew up on a farm surrounded by farms and my hubby is a city boy. I remember the first time he went with me to visit my family he was shocked, disgusted, and yet impressed by my ability to identify the type of animal from whence the shite came just by smell! :lol:
ahhhhh, good times…good times…
Colette I thought of you because way back when, when you asked me to make the leading woman a white woman in the next story you said, and I quote:
“I just want to read one where the woman is described as fair skinned, blond hair or light brown hair, red hair, light eyes, straight hair, some obvious white women traits, not being able to dance LOL etc.”
Now look at that little white girl dancing her ass off!! :tongue:
Hey Gracie, sometimes the smell in th city can be nasty too!!!!!
Well, it’s true that bad stuff can be anywhere — in fact, whenever there’s a triple murder, serial killer, rapist, the first thing peopel say, is, Well, this is such a quiet neighborhood.
It’s true, my block is very quiet — nothing like this has ever happened before. :sad:
I’m not good w/ song names, just the melodies, I probably know that song you mention . . . I’ll continue to pray for the people who were hurt.
This place is getting popular. Over 40,000 visits…when did that happen?
It’s almost the end of the workday here and I’d thought I might try that Bad Boy everyone seems to be talking ’bout.
Figure I get back in the good graces of the staff so they’ll let me back in the valley.
:ninja:
…..little do they know I’ve been sneaking in the back door when no one’s looking. Just keep that on the hush-hush.
lol
Of course white women can dance, actually everyone can, just most are not very good at it, at least not up to Michael’s standards! :lol: It gave me a good laugh thanks for posting it!!
Ladake, I don’t even know how we got to 40,000 hits!!!! It’s cool isn’t it, I remember when I put the counter up, back in December, it’s been a crazy ride!!! But at least my numbers are honest. Some people jack up their counter hits to make the website look more popular than it is. Kinda stupid, ’cause if the website has activity, there’s no need for that. :lol:
What’s the point, really? :cheerful:
Colette, girl, I can’t keep up with double talk, makes my head spin:
Girl pick one opinion and stick with it! It’s either obvious that white women can’t dance or of course they can. I mean as long as we’re generalizing :tongue:
I’m not trying to fight with you okay!!!! I’m just pointing out the flaws in your logic!!!!
Well, I have gotten back from my weekend with MartiniGirl!!! We had an awesome time!!! Bittersweet but still fun. I’m gonna post a whole blog on it tomorrow but here’s a little photo of MG, me and Michael!!!
And OMG, Sabine…
BBM WAS AMAZING!!! Of course I will come back to give you my comment. I can’t wait to re-read it!!!
Hey Frodes!!!!! We can only see your lovely face because of how big Michael is!!!!!
But from what I see of Mgirl, you both look gorgeous and so happy! Wish I was there :sad:
Did you guys end up meeting up with Ms.Janice too????
Oh shoot, you READ BBM!!!! Already!
:whistle:
I’m impressed!!!!
That’s a great pic Frodes, : How many different places did you go to? I hope you had a good time! :cheerful:
:lol: :tongue: I really am just pointing out the flaws in your logic! If you call that fighting than so be it, cause whenever any one uses words like “most” “its is general knowledge” they are not being logical.
I know — you forget I’m looking right at it. This was after you had already said it was obvious that white women can’t dance. Now you say you were joking. Uh . . . . okay :tongue:
More generalizations!!?!?!? :w00t:
Go on with your bad self, Colette, you’re trying really hard to make it make sense for you!!! :lol:
It does make sense it means everyone can dance but most suck especially white women :lol:
:ermm: Colette, It makes no sense, and is illogical simply because
YOU
Do
not
KNOW
EVERYONE!
You don’t even know “most” people.
:tongue:
Awww Frodes, you look so beautiful. I’m (glad? happy? estatic? ~ Sabine, just trying to help out since you left out word!!!) you had a blast I can’t wait to see more pics!
Hey guys
I’m having one of the worst days of my life. Someone broke into my car earlier today while I was at the laundromat, rushing to put my clothes in the machine and yes , I left my purse under the passenger seat . I was inside for no more than five minutes and came out to find glass on the seat and the guy also busted into two other cars as well. I’m so angry with myself because I should known better.
So for those of you (including myself) that tends to leave your valuables in your car to run into a store or gas station, please be careful because it’s not worth it and someone may be watching you.
Awww, MsJanice, I’m so sorry. Don’t be mad at yourself — we all do things like that. I know the feeling — I wish there was something I could say or do!!!!
Well, just try and think positive. Thank God you were not in the car or coming to the car while he was trying to break the windows you could have been hurt. I know it doesn’t make your feel better because it’s such a pain in the neck, replacing everything in the purse and just dealing with the hassle, plus the sense of violation. ((((((((((((MsJanice))))))))))))))
Sorry that happened to you girl! :heart:
Thanks Sabine
I appreciate that so much. I’m just upset because of the contents that were in my purse. I was hoping that they just took the money and threw away the purse. But who am I kidding, it was a Gucci bag so I need to let that go.
Was it pictures and stuff? I hope you’re not fretting over the Gucci purse!!!! Did you read about the fire that happened on my block. Those famlies walked away with NOTHING, not even shoes on their feet. Everything burned to the ground! No comparison of tragedy, because I don’t think it’s fair to do that — but you know, don’t fret over things that can easily be replaced. You can buy a hundred Gucci purses, I’m sure. The pictures other things that are a hassle, I totally get that. It’s just the worst feeling!
Do you have your house keys?
No, I don’t care about the purse itself at all but the contents in it. The place was by an alley and I was hoping that he threw it in a dumpster or something. I had too many important things in the purse. I just feel violated and helpless that’s all.
Yeah I had my keys with me and my phone which I am thankful for.
I’m sorry janice to hear that, I would be terrified if that happened to me, I hope you don’t feel too bad, well you know it will never happen again because your going to be extra careful next time!
Sure Sabine, whatever you say :cool:
Thanks Colette
:lol: Colette. what’s that supposed to mean? Are you trying to tell me that you contend that you DO know everyone and even most people so that you can accurately say what most people are capable of and what everyone is capable of?
Cause if you say that, I know you’re crazy! :tongue:
MsJanice, of course you feel violated!!!! That is like the utmost violation, someone in your car, and taking your purse with all of your intimate items.
Well, I wish I knew what to say to cheer you up!!!!! Just try and concentrate on how you can replace the things you can and make peace with what you’ve lost — I wish I could come up with something better. I know it sucks! :pinch:
No, we didn’t meet up with msjanice… it would have been nice!!! I would LOVE to meet more people from the CCC!!! But we DID meet up with Elmira!!! She is a total sweetheart. Easy to talk to and she’s just gorgeous. MartiniGirl and I were thinking how she looks like Sabah. LOL!!! We only got like 10 minutes with her at Forest Lawn cause we had to go but the next time I go up there I’d like to hit her up again. And we wish that you were there, too, Sabine. We talked about you a lot… we were singing your praises. ;)
Girl, hello?!?!?! Of COURSE I read BBM already!!! It’s called CRACK for a REASON!!!
:lol: :wink:
We went to Forest Lawn and Michael’s star on the walk of fame. We also went to go see that documentary “The Way He Makes Them Feel” after we went to Forest Lawn. I’m gonna talk all about it in my blog and when I finish typing it up I’ll post the link for ya’ll. ;)
Thank you, darling!!! And like I said above, when the blog is ready I’ll post the link. It will be loaded with photos!!!
Sooo, I see this place has been very busy while I was gone! :biggrin: Glad to be back! I have a lot of chatching up to do…it might take a few days though for me to comment on the Bad Boy since I’m leaving for Brussels in 12 days and have sooo much still left to do and take care of. :unsure:
I’m on my way to bed but before I go I wanted to show you a picture of me and Michael I took last Saturday at Madame Tussauds in Berlin! At first I thought, nooooo, this wax figure doesn’t look like Michael one bit, ugh! But after a while we all kinda got used to it and posed with it and took many pictures and stuff. Funny how ALL of us (me and my Michael girlfriends) gazed into “his” eyes like we were so IN love. :wub: :lol: Well, we are… :tongue:
(or http://s3.directupload.net/images/100901/65ezusij.jpg)
And here’s another one of me and “my little brother”. :cheerful: :heart:
(or http://s1.directupload.net/images/100901/j5eo4f3r.jpg)
Janice, I’m soo sorry, too! I know exactly how you feel, being robbed makes you feel so helpless. :sad:
People who do of course don’t even have the decency to consider how much trouble this means for you now. Why don’t they just take the money? :pinch:
Oh, the links don’t work because of the ) at the end, it doesn’t belong to the rest of the link! Sorry for that!
I never know if the other links I post work, Sabine, so I put these here as well…
Hey Frodes, Cherry!!!!
Cherry you are super cute — I love your hair!!! And your complexion is flawless! :w00t:
All the pretty pictures! Everyone looks so lovely.
Cherry, I agree with you, the older wax figure looks like him moreso than the little Mike. You look pretty though! And it looks like you had fun.
But I’ve seen a couple of Tussauds wax figures and I don’t think they do people of color that well.
For some reason they never seem to get our color right!!! I thnk it’s because we come in so many different shades!
I’ve never thought ANY of the waxed figures looked like Michael!
It’s hard to capture perfection!
Did you see the one of Prince???
If I were him, I would’ve had them burn that.
I think they just did one for Rihanna and her likeness is probably one of the best I’ve seen in a while.
True dat.
Some they get — I think it was because Michael was too cute, seriously. I didn’t see Prince, but oh, god I can imagine, because when they get it wrong, ooooh Lord!
Hi girls, aww, thank you. :smiile:
Actually I thought the little Mike was pretty good. They just didn’t get da fro right! ^^ Check out this picture. Looks a lot like him imo! :heart:
Right Sabine, that’s what we thought, too, Michael looked too unique and too cute to get him right. They had a second waxed figure of him but I’m not going to even show you this one it’s so horrible. It looks like a Barbie doll. :getlost:
What I loved most though was touching Michael’s hand! Well, actually his hand cast, also at Madame Tussauds in Berlin but I think there are several different ones in the different cities. I thought his hands were bigger or maybe it’s just that I have really big hands LOL look:
I mean they look HUGE in TTI but I guess that’s ’cause he’s so thin. :sad:
Anyway, gotta run. Oh and thank God I didn’t see the Prince one, it’s not in Berlin (right now). But I saw Will Smith and Johnny Depp and took some awesome pictuers, that was fun! :lol:
Later…
OMG It’s so hooooooooooooooooooooooot in Texas.
I don’t know how people do it.
It gets hot at home too, but when you walk outside here and it’s so humid it’s like a layer of atmosphere just clings to your skin and your clothes STICK to you and my poor hair doesn’t stand a chance in hell!!!!
UGH!!!
:angry:
I need something to cool me down. I’ll take a Creamy Mike please…. with extra ice on the side.
*sliding an icecold frosty Mike towards Ladake* Nahhh, you don’t need ice with a Creamy Mike, ’cause Mike was so cool, you know :smile:
It’s hot in NY too, that oppressive heat from all the AC unites and buildings. I wanted to go to the beach today, but somehow I managed to get a cold in the last two days, a bad one!
Aaaah, the hair blues. You have to wear your hair in a style where you couldn’t care less if it gets wet or humid! Try it! Its absolutely freeing!
IT’s official, Cherry, you have man hands :tongue: :lol: :silly:
Ooh you best believe I have it up and out of the way. It STILL frizzes! I can’t wear my hair down in weather like this… I’d end up looking like the bush woman!
Cherry, that closeup picture looks good, far away though, it reminds me of one of those Brady Bunch boys, like they just dipped him in chocolate!
:lol:
I like the bush look! Au natural! That close up does look good, but you’re right Ladake, the color is definitely OFF!!!!
I hate when hair commercials put up pictures like this of the “before” look:
This picture is captioned “Frightful Frizz” in Elle magazine.
:ermm: Um, what does that look like?
I think that hair is just as beautiful as this:
Oooh, by the way, don’t you love her smokey eyes!!! :wub:
If the first chick did a wash-n-go, that’d be cute. They messed her hair up on purpose.
I think the clear message behind that is “that” kind of hair is ugly, because the after picture, when they “fix” her hair, is always bone straight and shiny — which is supposed to be “nice” hair. Girl, you know that’s the message! Black women are all confused behind the constant message that we’ve received that our hair is ugly. Did you happen to see Good Hair with Chris Rock? That was too funny!
*rushes in – takes a deep breath*
Okay, now is the time to do it…
Can I have a Thug Passion, please?
:blush:
LOVE the pictures, Cherry – but I’m surprised that Michael’s hands are only slightly bigger than yours.
I think Michael’s hands in real life would have been different — that’s a cast, hands down, doesn’t take into account width, and just a feel of a hand closed over your own is different. Besides, Cherry has “man hands” :tongue:
Just kidding Cherry!!
ENola, whats up? Why do you need a thug passion now???? hmmmmmm?
Ladake, I hope I didn’t make you feel uncomfortable by bringing up the taboo hair subject. I admittedly understand tht it’s difficult for any woman to talk about , especially black women. Anyway, everytime I bring it up, I can literally hear the silence that overcomes the room :lol:
Oh, Sabine, it’s nothing really.
Jackie just said hello to me on Twitter… or sort of anyway… :w00t:
So, since the Thug Passion is the only drink I have never had, I thought this was the perfect occasion. Besides, he’s working out right now and soon he’ll probably start tweeting about showering again…so I need to be prepared… LOL!
:cool:
Man hands????? :cwy: For real?
:lol: No, I know I have rather large hands for a girl but I got used to them. Vivien Leigh had big hands, too, that’s what he have in common. :tongue: :biggrin:
Yes, “our” hair is supposed to be all kinds of things but pretty…I admit I don’t really like mine either but it’s okay right now, I’m wearing it a little shorter at the moment.
Hey, were did my “Michael and eye gaze deeply into each other’s eyes” picture go? :ermm:
I’m meeting my mom for dinner in the city so I gotta go. Wish I could spend more time with you here, will be back later. :heart:
Oh, there it is. SOrry! It was gone. :shocked: :blush:
No you didn’t. I’m woooooorking….
I’m one of those for all hair types, I have discussions about it with my family all the time.
I’ll come back when I have time to talk about exactly what I mean later.
Oh, he said, Hi Enola?!?!?!?! :tongue:
Ladake, oh, okay, I’m glad — I don’t want to offend or make anyone feel comfortable. . . I would love to hear your thoughts when you get back.
Cherry, Just kidding about the man hands, I tell my daughter that all the time, cause she has big hands!
Just think if you ever slap someone they will really feel it! I think you have pretty hands! :wub:
Okay. First a very quick trip through Ladake”s hair journey.
The earliest memories of me getting my hair done involved me siting on a barstool in front of a stove watching Soul Train on Saturday mornings while my mom pressed my hair with a hot comb.
I can remember once being in Kindergarten and my mother had done my hair that morning in nice pigtails all over with the twist and the multicolor barretts at the end, but because I wanted to be cute, when I got to school my friends and I (who basically had the same exact hair style) undid each others hair to wear it loose. Well, all day after playing outside in the heat and taking naps, I ended up with this huge as fro. I can recall my bus driver looking at me like I was crazy at the end of the day and when I finally got home, my mother was pissed!
Anyway, fast forward a couple of years, I got my first relaxer when I was like 12 (my cousin and I) and I’ve had one all the school and until end of year 2004 when I decided that it really wasn’t healthy (relaxing/flat ironing/crimping/blowdrying) and it wouldn’t grow past my shoulders. So I cut all that crap off. At the same time educating myself about hair care and what it means to embrace and love ‘nappy’ hair, cuz god forbid if your hair isn’t a certain texture, aka ‘good hair’! Do you know how many times I had to correct my own parents with that! It absolutely drove me bat crazy for about a year of being natural. ‘Good’ hair is healthy hair and don’t give a flying flip about the length, the texture, whether its colored or relaxed, curly or straight.
Anyhoo… my hair was healthier after I learned how to take care of it, it was also EXTREMELY thick (I can still only comb it in the shower) but it grew longer and healthier than it had before. Two years ago, I decided to do a texturizer every 3 or 4 months to reduce the bulk because I knew I didn’t want to cut it. I pretty much wear braid outs or do bantu knots for curls… wash n gos or updos in the summer (like today in this humid weather). I henna, don’t use excessive heat (sometimes I blowdry) and only use organic hair products.
My hair is healthy and i like it, therefore it’s all good.
There is such stigma about how black women wear there hair. I have no idea why… don’t understand why, however I do see that it just adds to the negative complex that starts from early childhood in a lot of our little girls….(in addition to a lot of other issues I know you can recognize).
I am always reinforcing to my younger family members (especially the little girls) that they are beautiful as they are, and are not less than because of a body part or eye color or skin color or hair texture!! But this is what they see everyday in their lives right? There is a media machine/the world that pushes this conception of what is considered ‘ideal’ beauty —– Which goes into the conversation that we were having before regarding barbie dolls —- and sometimes, unless that child has people in their lives that say to them, ‘you are beautiful, you are perfect as you are’ they grow up (like Michael) believing that they aren’t.
whew…. off my soap box.
