Soapy Hair Stories: Appropriations of Roy Lichtenstein

Image
Up close view of Susan's Boyfriend Loves Her Afro It's quite an over dramatic notion- the way women obsess about beauty- whether it's makeup, body image, and age. It has gotten to the point of shallow ridiculousness due to media ploy. Yet hair roots are another story entirely nowadays, especially African Americans fighting a raging battle between staying naturally beautiful or getting the sleek, kink stripping perm. Keep in mind, men never have to obsess with image as much as women do. They're allowed to keep their hair in any way, in any style while women resort to spending tons on weaves, relaxers, perms, and extensions to appear "attractive" and in turn, cruelly punishing natural sisters for not following suit.

On the website of the Scrappers Little League Game it said to go to the Subway on 5555 Eastwood Rd which turned out to be a mall. We went to the Subway there and they instructed us to go to the Subway up the street. At that location, they claimed to have given away all of their free tickets, but when I mentioned that I paid for mine already in advance, they told me about the Will Call at the stadium which was addressed at 111 Eastwood Rd. not a place I saw on the actual site. Thankfully, it wasn't far from the mall. We arrived at the stadium thirty minutes later, found the Will Call (yes, it was a Subway Will Call too, omg!), and stood in a very, very long line. But I guess this pic was worth it! I loved seeing James's awesomeness! He was sweet, a little tired, and rushy, but I still love him very much. I mean, what lady wouldn't???
