Last Friday night, Amber, Cynthia, and Geo went up to B'ham to see Vicky and Vickese for my consultation. We saw the video. All 4 of us were trying so hard not to laugh. It was 80'rific. I wish Amber, Cynthia, and Geo could have seen a more recent DVD with more recent hairstyles. When the photo album with more recent pics was passed around, they felt better. "We were scared for you for a minute there, Joy". We spent about 2 hours there talking about Sisterlocks.

Geo (my Indian boyfriend) was shocked. When we got back on the road, he asked, "Why do black women spend so much time on hair?"...........

He's been really trying to figure this out and I've been trying to explain to him about importance of straight hair in AA culture.

Amber and Cynthia (both AA) tried to explain to him the history of black hair care and how straight hair is viewed. It's been a learning curve for him. He's a trooper for hanging in there.

I got some test locks put in and
