Like a disco maven from the early 70's...A bold, brash Foxy Brown - no not THAT Foxxy Brown. I'm talking about Foxy Brown ala Pam Grier (shut your mouth) ...

I strutted to work late last week with an Afro! Ok, so I've worn a similar look before but nothing like this.
I didn't try to make it look like a had a certain "type" of hair ( I refused to say THAT word in this context because all hair is good. Feel me?). I just decided to go for it. I picked it out and went to work. A few older co-workers saluted me with the fist bump (ok, corny but they were trying to be funny, lol) and a few just out right said "hey, I'm feelin' that!". Alas, it was the silent looks of disapproval that spoke the loudest. Was I surprised? Not even close. These same silent screamers were the same ones extolling over how sophisticated and PROFESSIONAL I looked when I had it flat ironed a few weeks ago.
Ah well, as long as the screams stay silent, right? Meanwhile, I'm going to continue to rock on and know that I am in good company with the rest of the naturals and those wonderful natural bellas that really knew how to rock it!
Peace, love and hair grease!
