Auburn hair

entirely. But here I was. The fear of my parents was only slightly over come by the desire to do something for myself, two feelings that would grow side by side for several more years of my life. The stylist ran her hand through all fourteen inches of my hair. “How short?” she asked me, her eyes meeting mine in…

Water, Lucy tries to change her hair to look like her idol, Marilyn Monroe. In turn she is erasing of trying to get rid of her natural hair which was given to her from her ancestors and it apart of her culture. This is best shown when Tecumseh thinks " Lum says Lucy wants to be Marilyn Monroe because no one gives a damn about Indians but everybody likes blondes. Even Indians." (King,23). This quotation shows that the people of Truth realize that Lucy is changing her hair to look like Marilyn…

other than his picture online. I know you can post any picture you want. I thought he was gorgeous in those pictures. He pulls up at the gas station about three minutes after I got there. He is this tall 5’10”, gorgeous in the face, light brown hair, brown eyed man, that bends down to me in my car and says, “Hi, how are you? Are you ready to go back to my house; it is out in the country a little ways?” I knew when he leaned into my car, that he was the one for me. I know he is very…

a hotel room with my brother and sister watching the documentary, Good Hair, with Chris Rock. Ironically this was just after I had gotten my last relaxer, a creamy product that chemically processes hair to make it permanently straight, which left me with a burn on my head. I was in Virginia to visit my dad’s side of the family. My siblings and I stayed with my sister and she insisted that she was going to take us to the hair salon to get a relaxer. I was worried, I did not want a relaxer I was…

It is January of 2005, and I am on my way to Columbus for my first chemotherapy. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October of last year. My two sons, Jeff and Jason are coming with me. Jeff driving, Jason sitting in the passenger seat and I 'm in the back seat of the 2002 GMC Envoy. I glance out the window and watch as we pass the Shoe. It is chilly outside and the winds were powerful on this winter day, snows covering the trees and the ground, it’s a beautiful sight of a winter wonderland.…

My heart thumps like a bass drum in my ears as I run. I can barely breathe but I don’t stop. I reach my car, crank the engine and put my foot to the floor. Driving through the streets of Brisbane to the highway, I start to think over Alice’s and my relationship. “You should come over this weekend. We can work on our project.” I messaged her late at night. “Okay, I’ll ask my parents.” Alice answers quickly before confirming she can. On Saturday morning, she arrives at my house. We work on our…

if this was real life. Was someone knocking at my door or not. I quickly sit up in my bed hoping it was just a dram but sadly it wasn 't. I quickly jump out of bed making my way over to the person waiting on the other side of my door. I smooth my hair with my fingers and rub my eye to make myself look decent enough. I open up the door to reveal one of the maids standing there. "Sorry miss, were you asleep?" She questions…

fashion trend whether its hair, nail or make-up. I know this; I’ve experienced this first hand. I chose to do this for my Graduation Project because; it’s my passion and my career goal. Once I graduate from beauty school I will be able to do my work from the comfort of my own home because, I will own…

wouldn’t even need a mirror – even though seeing it would have been great – just the sound and sensation was enough for me. My other favorite place was my pubic mound. Being a female and having to endure the harsh criticism of society as far as pubic hair goes, I have shaved there several times. I don’t anymore, but that’s beside the point. Often, within a day of shaving, razor burn would appear and I would pop any pimples that…

After conversing about various topics with my significant other a few months back, discovering that someone we know of is a pedophile, and discussing this matter I gained an interest in pedophiles; I never gave them much thought and knew very little about them. Luckily my significant other had a lot of answers to many of my questions since he had been interested in them before. Years prior he would visit the website 4chan.org and told me about discussions he had seen and read (when the website…
