lettin the fro go….
Before I begin, let me just say.. my computer has eaten this post twice. If it doesn’t work this time, you all aint getting it cause I’m tired of typing, and getting aggravated so I’m sure its not as funny as it was the first time I wrote it…
I thought I would elaborate some on the great Fro Incident of 2007, that Kristine mentioned yesterday. And before you send hate mail.. No, I am not racist. I, IMO, REALLY DO have a Fro. I’m fairly certain if James Brown and Rosie Odonnell had a love child, Don King would be the God Father, and it would look almost exactly like ME.
I have what I like to call “afro-nap”. Not quite an afro, but certainly nappy. White beauticians wont do me stating my hair “is too ethnic” and beauticians of the darker persuasion, claim they don’t do “Caucasian hair” So, until I find an “almost mulatto” beauty salon. I am assed out on both ends of that train and forced to deal with the knots God gave me.
Anyway, so for some bazaar reason, DH decides that while shopping last weekend we should stop in K-Mart (Mini-Hell-Mart) No one shops at MHM… well unless when they were born floors were still dirt, and suckers costed exactly 1/2 cent.
So in we go.
MHM knows their main customers use walkers so they are usually blaring elevator music or Celine Dion, but by either some freak chance or they had advanced warning that the fro was coming, they are playing some rather ghetto fabulous music today. Now in our MHM, the little old men sit over in the maternity section, not because they are pervs hoping to peak some over engorged “jubliees” which IS why my DH sits over there, but because maternity happens to be the ONLY bench in the joint. So the little ole men sit and relax while their wives run off and spend their pensions. lol…
Well as we turn the corner, between shoes and maternity, I spy the cutest little old man I think I have ever seen! He SOOOO reminded me of my boy “BLUE” from the movie OLD SCHOOL! (RIP BLUE)
Anyway, gramps is doing a little head bob thing, seriously looking ghetto fabulous. So, in total recognition of his efforts, I begin to bob back. My thanks to him, for his giving me hope their is a little rhythm past 80. Well, as I bob, the tracks change and on comes none other then the Man himself JAMES BROWN. I take this as a sign from the powers that be that the universe will align if we, gramps and I, can combine our ghetto efforts, so before I know it my feets are a sliding in full on James Brown/MC HAMMER style. I do my best wiggldy dee, “ugh.. ugh” and spin around to see the look of horror which has now planted itself firmly upon my DH’s face. My poor shy DH. He was a gasp with embarrassment. OH GOD NO was definitely the feel I was getting.. You know, the look when their eyebrows go all the way up into their hairline and their teeth are showing but only on one side? Yep that was the one…
So in an effort to make him feel better, I do the best hip bend foot slide spinny thing I can, reach up, grab my hair clip and scream “ugh.. ugh..lettin the fro go… owwwwww..ugh ugh… watch me!” and I release the curls. DH lowers his head and ducks around the corner.
I got an applause from the maternity section, so I gracefully bowed to my people, and went to find my hiding hubby.
So there you have it. Lettin the Fro Go-dork dancin in its full on glory! hahah!
anyway..
since we are LETTIN OUR FRO’s GO…
Thanks to Andrea Boyer for her Dis-n-Dat Papers!
FYI, that photo IS after a day of being pulled back, so you would THINK the curls would not be…but alas, the Fro lives on!
LET YOUR FRO GO!
and here is you a freebie…
Now I realize, not everyone has a need to let their fro SHOW,
so everything is on its own layer,
Use what you want, lose what you don’t!
Blinged out pick and glassy brad ARE included!

As I mentioned on 4-shared - at least you have some curls right?!?! I have the exact opposite - “hippie” hair - long, straight, and parts naturally down the middle.

*trying damn hard NOT to crack up* Oh hunny, your hair’s not that bad! But damn you’re a brave woman to post a bad hair day pic. No way in hell would I. I fro out when it’s rainy or humid. Then I just give in to the curls & play them up. Otherwise I blowdry it straight. Then I pull it back. I call it my peacock..when it was shorter it would fan out above my clip like a peacock. OK. But really, love that hair hunny. You just haven’t found your right hair person yet. Almost said hair chick, but we all know there’s some SAWEET men out there that can do some damn good hair. LOVE YA!!!!

LOL! Loved it all! My family always got embarrassed because I would be singing and sort of dancing in public, but the car is my fav and they hated it! Love the hair! My oldest son is the same as the wig! I have naturally curly hair and dh has wavy hair, so it was bound to happen to one of my kids. On a very humid day I can get the really big hair. I just control mine with a curling iron if I go to something special, like my son’s wedding this past month. Thanks for the laughs and freebie!

Well you may have had to rewrite a couple times and gotten tired of repeating the story, but you still made me laugh out loud! Good for you to be able to let go and have fun like that!
Thank you for the template!

OK Bunny, i ain’t no hair dresser (well no license anyway), but i can deal wit a head a hair http://www.lovinlifegurl.blogspot.com
where you at and whacha want done! You want it straightened out–i got some lye/no-lye for that! You want brads, well you know i got that (see blog)! Want dreds, well check mine out–i’ll hook you up babeee!
When my son came to us, and to this day, there is an annual campout downeast where all the adoptive families come. I used to do hair there to help the mom’s who wanted more info see and experience dealing with the “glorious crown” that is also often the “unmanageable, waah-wahh-mommy-that-hurts, beast”. I’ve braided boys and girls. As is often in the adoptive community, our families are mixed race, so some of the african american children had caucasian or asian siblings–who also wanted their STRAIGHT hair done. Gurrlll. Slap some grease and water on it and watch out!
I loved your story. Thank you for the qp: I’m gonna try to find that pic of my son’s full-blown-and-picked fro for it! And you just keep on dancing–didn’t sound dorky to me!–wit yo bad sef! Git on up….

good Lord woman, you make me get a stitch in my side laughin’ at ya!! i was all set for you to say that the little old man had Parkinson’s or something and that his head bobbing was involuntary!! i’m glad that he WAS into the tunes as you were LOL!! i bet he told his wife about the girl with the fro dancing and she thought that he was off his meds LOL!! my hair was very thick and coarse before my wacked-out thyroid decided that i needed to lose a lot of it — i swear it was like some asian people’s hair! now it is all soft and thin — man our bodies are weird!!!
