BLACK is Beautiful

I started doing Black is Beautiful because I had a great conversation with my sister and we were discussing the lack of support Black Women get from their Black Men. So this is the best way to show that. So when I stumble into pictures like this with striking black beauty I post them. If you look at this picture this young lady is climbing up a mountain and looks fearless so defeat is not at all possible. She is sexy too which adds the icing to the cake. Through me posting these pictures I am empowering our sisters and our mothers.

Wet t-shirt Wednesday!! Ildi Silva

This week we have Ms. Ildi Silva. The young and brilliant Brazilian actress. Both her parents consider themselves black but she has she is 71% European, 19% African and 10% native Indian. I love the essence of black beauty though, because black people are beautiful and if you throw black in any mix the end result is flawless.

The Tables Will TURN

This year I lost some friends, not to death but to whatever it is that happens between friends when they grow apart or disagree. This is not my attempt to air out any bad feelings because there is always 3 sides to everyone's story, your side, the other party's side and the truth. The truth will always be the catalyst to one turning the table in their life. I saw this t-shirt and am buying it to remind me that there are no hard feelings in these situations but as always this is life and The Tables Will TURN.

93' Till

I've recently entered a new chapter in this music thing and I feel like I guess a New Born Christian would when it comes to Hip-Hop; I have always gotten more deeper and deeper and understood more as I got older but not to be blasphemous its like a Revelation as to how much dope music has been made in my time. Among a shitload(which is a lot) of that dope music is Souls of Mischief's cut "93' Till" which was just a perfect blend of smoothness, varying wordplay and the content makes way more sense to me now.

Formal Friday

"Chilly nights are just over there over the hill, so you're gonna needs ya a hefty winter jacket son", was what I was told by this cool older cat that comes to my job and has cast me on a pursuit for just that. I have no damn winter coat, moving down south has made me disrespect the cold but I think it followed me because its snowed two times since I've been down here. My search begins with a few ideas but ideally the main goal is to get a casual one and one I can sneak through formal events. I'm really feeling the bomber style jackets and there is an intrigue because I have never had a leather jacket along with the old school members only jackets you can see on your grandpops. I feel like this winter is a hibernation one because there is plenty to be accomplished and polished in the world of Faz meaning if I do go out I want to look stylish so the search must continue.
