All Tied Up!

Here I am this morning getting ready for work. It's a Friday, jean day and I'm just so exhausted from the busy week I've had that I didn't feel like doing anything with my hair. So I experimented with my Brunsli hair tie and - well - check out the results for yourself! I have GOT to order me some more of these. The tie idea was pure genuis. Thanks, Brunsli!

DFW SL 1Yr Aniv

Here's my photographical take on the DFW Sisterlocks 1 Year Anniversary gathering. As always it was enlightening, uplifting, fun and all about the Sisterlocks. Not everyone could make it back to the mall for our photo shoot, but our numbers continue to grow! There were 25-30 ladies in attendance. The day was made even more special by the visit of our good friend, Brunsli from California. She is everything I expected and more. Thanks for joining us B, hope you enjoyed the Texas hospitality!

I could post pics for days, we took so many. But other duties call. So sit back, relax and enjoy these beautiful locked sisters and the world of Sisterlocks! Be sure and scroll down, there are several posts.

Lastly, big props to Sandy for starting LockItUp which was the vehicle that brought us all together and I can't forget Dr. Cornwell. Thank you both for the world of Sisterlocks!




Last October we only knew each other from LockItUp but our bond was immediate and lasting. You ladies inspire me and I'm blessed to know you all!

So Fresh & So Clean!

Ms. LaChanda was so clean - I had to feature her solo!

Hair Ties & Sisterlocks Gathering

Look at the beautiful locks and hair ties that Brunsli and her mom made. The ladies couldn't wait, they purchased them and put them on right in the restaurant! I can't blame them - just gorgeous!

Look at the hair tie feeding frenzie!

New Faces - Sisterlocks Gathering

A warm sisterhood welcome to the new faces who joined us for the DFW Sisterlocks gathering. It was wonderful meeting you all! If I missed someone, it's only because I didn't get a photo. (If you were new to the group, please email me with your contact information so that we can keep you informed of upcoming events.)

India

Last night, my girl Tonia & I experienced the musical, spiritual and healing performance of India Arie. She gave us more than our monies worth - singing for two straight hours - no costume changes - no long dialogues - just us, India, her music and that melodic voice.






She came on stage drapped in her usual flowing, colorful dress, a large head wrap with a bit of natural hair showing out of the top....she launched into her hit, "I Am Not My Hair" and by the time she got to the hook - off came the head wrap displaying beautiful, natural comb coils like my girl Tonia is sporting here, but shorter. Off came the flowing wrapped dress revealing a cool, more hip and youthful form fitting outfit, stilleto boots and all.

She took us through almost every song on her new album as me, Tonia and the audience sang along word-for-word then took us back to the favorites from albums one and two. Her encore was the haunting "I Am Ready for Love" sending us home in a truly peaceful place.

What a memorable night. Mad love to my girl Tonia for the invite and the great sisterhood.

DFW Sisterlocks 1 Yr Anniv

Our 1 Year Sisterlocks Anniversary gathering was da bomb! It's late y'all and I'm so tired. Here's a pic to wet your appetites. Tomorrow I'm going to see India Arie, but I promise before the week's out, I'll have more post. We took tons of pictures - you won't be disappointed. And the diva Brunsli was just so charming. Meeting her made my day!
