Writings on the wall: Born to be wild

Tierra Lee. 

Born again in '87. 

Wild & Free. 

As you can see, I bought a wig the other day. 

Though it seems random, it's actually been a thought of mine for a while. 

I think it started sometime last summer, when I wore a bob while modeling my co-workers collection.

At the time, I was sporting my turban and my mo-hawk was fiercely growing out so we didn't use the wig ..but the transformation was quite awakening. 

Not having hair makes it really easy to experiment with different looks and since I couldn't find anything that looked more natural than an afro ...that's what I went with. 

& I love it. 

I wore it out yesterday and I got soo much attention. It was crazy. 

I'm known for doing bold things to my hair ..and ppl would always come up to me with compliments when I had my mo-hawk but this was different. ..It was as if I was walking around with two heads. 

People wanted photos. People wanted to touch it. ...& the only thing I could do was laugh. 

It's not like I have length underneath & the fro was some type of add-on. I have NO HAIR. lmao

I kept thinking, "suppose I exchange numbers with a hot guy today ..because he loved my 'fro" 

& on our first date I wore my natural cut. ---COMEDY! He'd prob die!

 ...I know he would because if I were him, I would lol. 

(I'm still cute with my baldy but guys are so weird about hair lol).

*********************

Further along into my day, I met with my friend Nina to get some promo shots done for The Dressing Room ...a chic bar/boutique located in LES. 

..took this shot behind the scenes.

Lots of fun!

Writings on the wall: I BRUSH my hair back and forth!

So I JUST got the news! 

Willow Smith has a B A L D Y O_O

My uncle sent me a text me saying "did you know, Willow Smith cut her hair like yours?"

 ...I LIT UP!. 

I think she is such a beautiful girl. 

& I love that she is so secure within herself ..that she can easily make these decisions without a care. ..When I was her age, my ponytails were everything! 

Cutting my hair would have NEEEVER...{you already know}

This is a different time, however. & I wasn't exposed to dramatic buzz cuts as a child, anyway. 

But still, she does not need hair to define who she is and I love her for knowing that. 

I'm excited.

& even more so because, when I had my mo'hawk ..it was actually her who inspired it. 

I literally woke up, saw a pic of her and Jaden ...went to Twitter to see if they agreed {was gon' do it anyway} ...hopped my butt up, went to the barber and told them to lose the sides. 

My hair changes like the weather. ..I'm always looking for different ways to express myself. 

Going bald, was unfathomable even when I had my mo'hawk ..but look at me now. :) 

My hair was once my greatest accessory. ...and the smidgen that I have ..still is. 

#BALDpower!!! lol

If there's one trend that I adore, it has to be the long, side braid - one of the best things to happen in Hair Trends of '09.
