I LOVE MY HAIR. So my homegirl Sabrina cut my hair off last year. I was trying to save it, but I wasn't taking proper care of my hair in the first place. It was permed, dried out and falling out. Needless to say, it needed a change. So July 4, 2008 Sabrina "D.J. BrinaPayne" cut it off. I feel liberated.
It has been a whole year and my hair looks and feels great. I love how it is course and shines and looks healthy and looks better. Now I must say it is work but when I can't afford the $60 hair treatments every two weeks, taking good care of my hair means something to me.
I thought about locking my hair but that's out the window, I want that Diana Ross to be honest. I know that ain't all her hair but I want my own hair to be like that.
I remember my mothers hair being like that. I miss that lady. Until then. peace!

DREAMS ABOUT DEREK
FINALLY!!! FINALLY!!!
Dreams About Derek is alive. My god. I have been working on this story for over 15years and I am so humble and happy that I am able to share my thoughts with the world. This has been a long time coming and I am happy that I was patient with myself.
What is Dreams About Derek. Well it is a three part Graphic Novel about a young mother named Derek who finds out that she is part angel and has great powers during the end of days. I was kinda scared to write it and put it out there because of the content of the book. But I thought with all this other stuff out there, I might as well give people something interesting to read and to see. Originally Dreams About Derek was just going to be a novel, but the idea of Derek being a black superhero was much more of an eye catcher to me.
This book is dedicated to so many people who have inspired my life but especially goes out to my late White Grandpa Philmore Thomas Payne Jr. He was quite a man and quite a soul that the earth is indeed missing.
With that. Please, Please, Please go to my website at www.dreamsaboutderek.com , I will be updating and keeping everyone posted about the progress of the novel. Until then take care and Love you all!
Peace!

Dark Skin, Bleached Skin
I don't understand why some black women are resulting into bleaching their skin because of what someone else thinks. I mean it's not all of us, but a choice few who will now alter their lives off of what other motherfuckers think about them. Why is this happening?
I have been dark skinned my entire life and I have been teased to no end, but I knew I was beautiful regardless of what anyone else thought because I looked at my self and was happy with what I saw on the outside. On the inside...maybe I had to change a few things about myself but I did. None the less I felt very good about the way I looked.
The reason that I have heard why some dark-skinned black women are chemically changing their skin tones is because of men or wanting a man and not being what this man is looking for physically. But to alter yourselves? I don't get it because the women I see doing this are naturally beautiful, I mean drop dead gorgeous. And when they bleach after awhile it seems like they are forever ashy. *SMH*
I dunno what to say to women who do that or give any advice because most of them are determined and not gonna listen, but don't damage your healthy skins. Please don't. I am begging you. Find what you love about yourself and the way you look before you do it. I don't live for no one but myself. Please, please, please try and do the same.
