Okay, I'm really crackin' up from this thread---GC needs a comedy section!

As for Lauryn's locs, some loc wearers cut them of after seven years because 7 is the biblical number that's symbolic of completion (not to be confused with new-age/numerology). So for many loc wearers, after the 7 year completion or cycle, they will often cut them off and return to genesis.

***I didn't like the half/pink half/white thingy Serena Williams wore---with all that $$$ I'm sure she could have had something, anything designed to bring out her personality over that! (Reminds me of something I made in Home Econ class in Middle School--yuk). And I'm so happy Venus waxed her eyebrow!!! Do I sound like I'm playa-hatin' because I don't mean no disrespect to the sisters, it's just that they could do alot better in the HIGH MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT!***

Shalom~

I just left my beauty salon and my beautican reminded me she has a part in the movie about Bob Marley's life. That may have something to do with it http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif

Yeah, that's true. Maybe she didn't want to be bothered. I'm planning on growing locs and I think that it's easier to just cut 'em when you don't want them anymore. In between stages are the worst.

I echo most comments here ...

I have not been able to catch any awards shows in entirety this year, but when I read dreamfulone's post I jumped at my TV. I was finally able to sit back and thoroughly enjoy a black awards show. It was great and all recipients were most deserving.

By the way does anyone know why Lauryn chopped it all off? We are talking about how she looks but what happened, did she have to, did she want to, did she have surgery or something, I know some procedures require you to shave your head. So what is really up?

I guess I'm the only one who likes Lauren's new TWA! I thought she looked great!! Once again, Lauern isn't conforming to the status quo...

I enjoyed the Essence Awards show, but I as well was not feeling LH hair and CC dress!! I thought she (Lauren Hill) had a butch look. I love her though, but she looked like she was going through..... I love Soror Star, but that was not the look she should have been going for....Her make-up looked nice, but the dress was a fashion don't.

This was one of the better shows!!! Props up to Essence....(Susan L. Taylor) Magazine Editor!!!

Question: how do u all feel about women w/ muscles wearing evening wear (after 6 attire)? I'm specifically thinking about Venus and Serena..

A radio station in Atlanta recently reported that she & Rohan (?) Marley had broken up and that she was having a difficult time writing songs for her new CD. I think it was supposed to be released sometime this summer, but it is not ready. Those things may have had something to do with her decision to cut her hair. I have a friend who has locs and she said the hair hold energy from the past. Maybe it was her way of "releasing" that energy...
