I love rockin my hair like this.
It expresses how I usually feel: Free.
And you know what's funny? White boys love it. I mean one day I went into the office with my hair half fromanian with a scarf around my base and the wedo that sat across from me gave me a doubletake, talkin bout'
"[Mahogany], I love your hair like that."
I just winked at em and smiled.
Maybe it's where I live or something but I dont know if I'd get that reaction from brothas these days. Just the other day I went to dinner with my italian friend. Wore a grey dress and red platforms to break up the grey monotony. Didnt have to explain the art of contrast to little italy. Ciao bella! is all I heard.
Step into the drugstore later the same day for bobby pins and a fat brotha with 2 other raggedy female drinkin buddies called me out on the way out of the door. "You're not in Kansas anymore Dorothy." And these women sidekicks mumbled some other stuff. I would've chuckled at the wisecrack except that they were serious. His tone was as though I was an ex lover or something.
The whole store looked at them like wtf? Funny, I thought. And sad.
