Thoughts

     I was talking to an older lady the other day and she complimented me on my cut and she asked how long it had been this short in terms of years and when I let her know she was very shocked. This time last year I had a head full of hair with no intentions of shaving it all off. She said it took her at least 2 years to make it this short. So I guess I jumped the gun.
     She said I carry the cut with grace. That took me for a loop. Then people started comparing me to the lovely India.Arie. Then I started to remember that a lot of women have decided to chop their beautiful locks to turn the idea of beauty into something else. Solange, Chrisette Michele, Erykah Badu, even Ga Ga  did a video or something with a bald cap on. This may not be the new turning trend but it is something that will continue to be around.
