I feel the person who said that some people think that to be pretty and dark, you HAVE to have long hair. I happen to have long hair, and be dark. In college, I was the dark skinned cheerleader with the long hair. I kept it so long that when I danced, it got caught under my arms all the time. I also know that the only reason that some people gave (and give) me the time of day is because of my hair. I think that is one of the reasons I kept it long. Recently, I have cut it shorter and shorter... just to see. It is at my shoulders now. Funny thing is... white guys who have noticed me... nothing changed. Black guys who noticed... dropped a bit. Now when it gets up to my ears, we'll see what happens!
Oh, and my mom always told me that darker women look best in pastels... I agree.
Also, my cousin and I are both chocolate, and we are usually approached by lighter skinned men (some damn near white). Does anyone know why this is? Fellas... talk to me!
