monday morning hair disaster!



I had a hair disaster Monday morning yaw. So the background is that lately I've been too lazy and busy to sew so I've been wearing quick weaves , gluing hair on a cap and wearing so that I wouldnt get any glue in my real hair but I've been securing it kind of like a lacefrount around my forehead to keep it on. Its pretty cool because when I'm tired of them I can wash them and re-use them as wigs. Well apparently, this latest style that I tried with the Tara hair (see  http://hairykat.blogspot.com/2012/07/abra-hair-dabra-scissorless-cut.html) wasn't secured on my head because I woke up Monday morning with my WHOLE HAIR OFF. lol by Whole hair I mean kind of like a wig it was completely off my head. I went into a state of panic. I tried putting it back on my head but that didnt work out. I used a different kind of weaving cap first off. I thought since the hair was blonde I should try a yellow cap FAIL. I was running in circles like a chicken with her whole hair cut off, my stomach was bubbling, it was my son's first day at his new school, so I had got him up but he went and got back in the bed while I'm scrambling. I attempted to comb my own hair but it wasn't working out. It needed to be washed! I was 5 minutes away from calling in sick (LOL! smh it should never be that serious!) BUUUT I remembered I saved the quick weave that I made for my birthday. I broke that baby out, shook it, wet it conditioned it and rocked it for the day. But at that point I realized, I should never be running around scrambling over my hair. So with that I decided to wear my own hair....with a little help (wink) I'm not ready to go completely trackless but I'm headed in that direction. I'm no longer a blonde but I'm getting used to seeing my head everyday....wooh....that was a close one!

How did the Cookie Crumble? My take on Empire

Image
The show Empire premiered tonight on Fox. It stars Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard. Terrence plays a music mogul Lucious working to build an Empire/Legacy for his children while being troubled by the transgressions of his past one of which, is Taraji's character, Cookie, his ex-wife being released from jail after doing 17 years on his behalf. He also struggles with the present state of his health ( btw please no ice bucket challenges for fictional characters! he has ALS), which is the driving force behind his ambition of creating a legacy for Empire. Veronika Bozeman gave us the opening vocals as an Empire Artist, and boy was it beautiful, even when she was made to sing it over! I found the show to be entertaining although I couldn't help but feel like it was a continuation of the movie Hustle Flow lol. I kid. Kind of, I think it was Terrence Howard's hair! But in all seriousness I'm elated to see so many shows starring African-American casts,...

Papa Scoob - Taking the Game into Overtime

Image
Its Overtime is The Official Mixtape release from Papa Scoob presented by the Outerspace Musik Group. Papa Scoob is an East Oakland Native/ Berkley raised lyricist, that has been gracing the music scene with his impeccable lyricism for the past ten years. The Its Overtime mixtape is filled with dynamic flows and metaphors over some of the top 100 billboard tracks with the incorporation of some interludes that capture the most pivotal overtime moments in recent sports history, symbolically signifying Scoob's resilience to the sport of the music grind and shaping his own game as an artist. I've known Scoob since he began rapping and I enjoy listening to him grow as an artist. He definitely doesn't need a hype man because he gets the momentum going with his energetic intensity over each and every track.  Despite his longevity I feel like this mixtape is his coming of age moment. I'm so very proud of his accomplishments and urge yo...

Single Mom Travels (it's kind of a long read, so grab a snack!)

Image
Well Hello There Readers! I've been on a writing hiatus but I've got the sudden urge to blog. A few weeks ago I was hanging out with my son and realized that as far as I'm concerned we have a pretty unique experience in terms of the way we go throughout our daily lives. I realize there's this stigma that as a single parent life becomes so limited and in many aspects this has proven true. However, I've also discovered my own ways to live and provide my child with a happy fulfilling life. There is nothing that can truly distract my child from the absence of his father, but as his mother I've vowed to make his childhood experiences as meaningful as possible in the hopes of presenting to society a well rounded, open minded, curious, fearless, adult. With all that being said, traveling alone and/or with your child are one of those single parent stigmas I was talking about. It seems as though as a woman I should live in fear of the world and somehow nee...
