CURLY GIRL DIARIES- 0039, DC Edition
So I decided that for the rest of the summer, I'm rocking protective styles during the week and out on the weekends. These fairy knots are annoying so I'm trying to keep them at bay, plus, I can keep a style for about a week at a time which is cool. I rocked a braid out while in DC. The humidity had its way with Cottontop, but here's how she began.
CITY BOPPIN' : CHOCOLATE CITY
I was looong overdue for a trip to DC and I finally made my way down. The only way to describe this past weekend is, love + insanity.
The club played on their huge screens the song as the DJs bumped it. The vids even scratched and mixed accordingly. DOPE!
My little BIG sis!
CURLY GIRL DIARIES- 0038
You guys are about 3 hairstyles behind, so let me catch you up.
At Heatwave, I had the top of my head two-strand twisted. I kept it twisted for about a week. Here's my look when I unraveled them.
With Bilal at the MetroTech concert. He was uh-may-zing-a!

CITY BOPPIN: Heatwave 2010
Fun was had. No point in yapping...just look at the pics and pretend you were there.
INTRODUCTION: Le Chat
Ok...I gave you a glimpse of my lovely before, but here is the official introduction....
This, my fair readers is my powderpuff, Lé Chat. I've been her mom for an exact week today and I am so happy to have her! I adopted her from the NY Care & Control, which is like a cat's last stop before the death chambers. She is super sweet and calm. She loves being rubbed and gives me a kiss on my cheek every morning. I've become overly attentive and don't even sleep out much anymore because I feel bad when I'm not home with her. Yes, I've become THAT person. Gosh, I love this little thing already! ::melting::
My faaaaaave!!! How can you not love this??
To celebrate a week of being mama & baby, I dedicate this to Lé Cha.

CITY BOPPIN: R&B FESTIVAL AT METROTECH
He will be another awesome performer at the free outdoor summer music series in downtown Brooklyn! I've been seeing him in concert religiously since BEFORE the album dropped in 2001. I'm sure you guys can hear the squeals from miles away.
SHINE ON
We are unusual and tragic and alive. We walk into the throng of parents and children. We are disadvantaged but young and virile. We walk into the halls and the playground, and we are taller, we radiate. We are orphans. As orphans, we are celebrities. We are foreign exchange people, from a place where there are still orphans. Russia? Romania? Somewhere raw and exotic. We are the bright new stars born of a screaming black hole, the nascent sun burst from the darkness, from the grasping void of space that folds and swallows—a darkness that would devour anyone not as strong as we. We are oddities, sideshows, talk show subjects. We capture everyone's imagination.
-Dave Eggers
One of my fave quotes. Rox and I decided to get some of this in permanent ink. It is soooo us. Will pick up the book soon!
