I came up with the character Sasha Madashian. Shes cute, fun, got a lil body, and “exotic” hair. The club man’s dream all wrapped up. The experiment includes men choosing Sasha in the club and upon the second meeting they get to meet Boler (still cute, fun, got a lil body, but w/ locs).

Over the weekend I got to take Sasha out for her first experiment at a friend’s 80s party. She got chose by a few but set her sights on one in particular. The flirt was in full effect playin with the phony pony, and feeding him her candy necklace. There is no question as to why she got invited to brunch the following morning.

Sunday morning, the phone rings and sure enough its Mr. Choosey. Plans for brunch were still set, and he was picking me up in an hour. I’ll admit I was a little nervous about the reaction but I dolled myself up, sprayed my loc’s and waited in the lobby. The black on black 2010 Camaro pulls up and I see eyes blazing through the tinted window. The conversation went a little something like this.

Me: Well hello!

Mr. C: Hey ::pause:: I didn’t know you had locs

Me: You know I had on a wig last night right?

Mr. C: Yeah but I didn’t know you had locs

Me: How does that make you feel?

Mr. C **pulls out driver’s license displaying a pic of him when he had locs**

The rest of the date went well, and it’s not too much of a story for Sasha’s first trial but there will be more stories to tell! Check out the party pics…. Sasha is a party animal!!

My sister wanted to get in on the action too.

YES!! Those are RED SPEEDOS!!

I LOVE drunk Chicago people.

Later on in the week went to in Irish Pub and had the best bathroom convo’s.  She was drying her hair to prevent looking like a “poodle puppet.”

Pumpkin  likes to dig in my nose.

Headed off to Le Passage and met up Carrie and her Gucci.

I think these Pour La Victoires are gonna get it.

I’m not at all opposed to a good weave. Key word being “good.” A weave allows a woman to switch it up a little bit, add a little character, protect her hair, or even save trips to the shop. But ladies if you aren’t willing to go the extra mile for a “good” weave, just say no! If you are willing to let your wet and wavy be dry and die, then you’re better off being nappy and happy.

If you’re going to fake the funk, you better fake it until you make it! Take the time to find the color and texture that best fits. There is nothing worse than spotting kinky roots that magically turn into a Spanish wave, or gelled down wavy hair thats suddenly a bone straight ponytail. Where is the element of “surprise it’s not mine”?

Albeit fake hair, don’t make it obvious. Do us all a favor, and do it right! Yes I meant “us all”. As surface as it is, how you look is the initial impression you give. If you aren’t polished, i.e. properly manicured, no one will take you serious enough to get to the first impression. One can’t focus on what is coming out of your mouth when their eyes are glued to what is on the top of your head. This is to the detriment of both parties. Not only will you not be heard, but no one can hear you. It goes back to Communication 101, don’t let your weave be the “noise” that keeps you from taking your initial impression to your first impression.

So often women get weaved up and don’t think twice about their hair.  I constantly think about my hair, its The Freek In Me! Everyone should be a freek about their hair. Just like we all want smooth skin, and nice shapes, we should want beautiful hair. As a friend of mine deemed it our crown & glory, we should take pride in our hair whether its ours or not. So on this day, let’s bury the bad weaves and revive the oohs and ahhs of beautiful hair.
