She a drug addict and i guess he thought that it would be a good idea to have mom live with him.

interesting. . . . Being from the DC area, i would have to say that the map is pretty accurate except that it looks like that whites are now majority? When did that happen? Must've been sleeping and not paying attention. I know that they are moving in fast but not like that.

I wanna know the kind of car b4 i get excited.

MARIO!!!??! Not Mario

[quote author=i_am_model link=topic=521064.msg6853023#msg6853023 date=1285884127]It's a matter of choice and preference. I'm short and cute and i have hot tall pretty girls all flaunting around me,[/quote]I need picture proof

TO ALL THE[b] DUMB FOOLISH NIGERIAN WOMEN(BITCHES[/b]) LOOKING FOR TALL MEN.

I RECOMMEND Yao Ming.

No need to go there. Plz lets act mature. thank you.

Vquest:
You can be short, but as long as your wallet is fat, you'll never lack for female companionship. I'm not tall; I'm not rich either; but I don't lack for female companionship.
You may have your preferences(in your head) but when you have chemistry with someone most of those physical traits become unimportant.

@ the bolded: that is very true and thats all that matters so I dont know why folks in this thread are getting into their feelings. its not that serious bcuz in the end, when/if u find someone that u truly love, their height and other physical attributes would not be in the back of your mind.

With that said, when i am walking down the street, i am going to admire my tall brothas   but that does not mean im trying to marry them or anything like that only bcuz he is tall.

^^^ it might have been in the US bcuz alot of nigerians here wear yoruba attire even tho they themselves are not yoruba. My grandma dresses like this too.

ada24:
5"9 my dear thats short o!!!!!! LOL (just kidding)
with my 5"2 frame i'm quite happy with my 6'ft husband - i want tall kids or at least average height, u see its not for me its for my children

no but seriously its all about personal preference, some guys only like dark/light girls so what is the issue if a woman is naturally drawn to a taller man.

For the short guys out there - don't worry there is someone for everyone

anything 1in taller than what i currently am is tall lol.

ada24:
its not clever showing the world how ignorant you are.

Personaaly, I don't like tall men, I dont want a s ituation whereby I will look like a kid beside my husband or my husband will have to bend everytime we want to kiss or [b]i will have to stretch or elongate my neck like a bird to kiss him orlook in his eye.[/b]lol

Well look at it this way, it'll be a way to graudually stretch the body  .

I like guys taller than me bcuz im short. Im only 5'3". My dream height is 5'9" but that'll never happen . I wear atleast 4" heals but i still feel short bcuz all the other tall ppl (women) are also wearing heels lol.

I don't want my guy to be too tall tho, no 6'ft and above. thats too much for ME.  5'7"-6ft is good for me. Now if he's all that and extra fly then I can adjust my standards  .

While vacationing in nigeria, I saw "Mr. Ibu" (dont know his real name) at the airport and then some time after as we where boarding our plane heading back to lagos, we saw 2face. He was on the same plane as us, sitting in the 2nd row up front. He was nice and shook my brother's hand. What a good way to end a trip .

JosBoy4Lif:
Same reason some white people go and get tans (some insecure peeps out there). f*** that be proud of the skin your in, you digg it,

I don't compare whites tanning to blacks bleaching bcuz the origin as to why either groups do it is for different reasons.

how long does the steam last for when u do it? or perhaps u could find a facial sauna online or in stores.

, also they cause cancer and can make u darker than u already are, so whats the point.

here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Y6xOkjKPjE

if someone knows how to embed in post, lemme know, thanks.

i would so love to visit this place but dang, thats gonna be a drive.

i dont thnk that would cause wrinkling. But u shouldn't in bathe in extremely hot water.

I have a facial sauna system thingy that i use and love. I dont use it as much when the weather is warm bcuz well its just to darn hot. The tip to not scolding yourself is to have your face too close to the steam. When u do, it causes redding and scarring, peeling and u do not want that. If u dont want to purchase one, you  do not have to.

boil water, put in some kind of bucket/bowl or whatever, bring your face close to the steam with a towel over your head to trap the steam, its just as effect as the facial saunas or going to the gym. Kind of like the pic shown below:

back then, it was all about the big hoop earrings. now i just keep it simple with little studs and they look nice.

Jobless man.[/color][/quote]Yep, and i honestly believe that he thought he was gonna get a 1-up bcuz he's wyclef, pssssh

lol, i read this morning that alot of girls on twitter went crazy when they saw the pic, LOL these ppl. Didn't their mothers teach them not to worship another human being LOL

[quote author=Inked_Nerd link=topic=510489.msg6803381#msg6803381 date=1285186649]Ok, no problem. Did you do your BC at a natural hair salon or on your own? Sorry, hope I'm not asking too many questions .[/quote]dont apologize. I like sharing information or better yet, talking hair . I did my BC by myself spontaneously. Why pay someone to do the fun BC experience for u?

i wanna see pics when u get it done.

Thank you and congratulations on your second BC. I swear, Bcing is like the fun part of going natural. I might BC again one i grow my hair out for a while. I want a nice big curly fro.

keep adding more, interesting thread.

Well, I live in the city so its taxless and inexpensive Goya Olive oil is always available. You can try buying it at a store like Target but most likely there will be tax added. If you buy it at a bodega or your local grocery stor, you can find the kind I'm talking about. I'm not sure how much it will cost if/when you go to Target. You could also try Wal-mart, Walgreens, and CVS.[/quote]Cool, I live in target lol so i'll be on the lookout. and another thing, how big is it? I don't want no smal puny thing. I got alot of hair Lol

[quote author=Inked_Nerd link=topic=510489.msg6796463#msg6796463 date=1285102584]
lol eh ya. My mom buys it by the gallon as well. When I run out of my own supply of olive oil, jojoba oil, and vitmain e oil I just walk into the kitchen and use my moms own. I don't know if you live in the US, but if you do, Goya makes these really small bottles of olive oil that you can buy. Their about $1.99. I buy it at the store near my house.[/quote]hmmm, i didn't know. Im going to have to look into it. What stores do u buy it from. or does it matter.

lol, I was referring to using fruits and honey as well. I don't know about the mayo part though. I'm too much of a fatass to use fruits. I'd rather eat it than put it in my hair . The thought of putting bananas or an avacado in my hair kinda makes me sad because I know its not going in my stomach. I don't mind using honey or olive oil though. Eventually, I'm gonna try using those in my hair.[/quote]lol i know. i can't do. I've always wanted to try olive oil on my hair but its too darn expensive to be wasting on hair. My mom buys oilve oil by the gallons and i keep eyeing it with thoughts of using it as a hot oil treatment but i kno mama will not like that . so i stick to coconut oil which is good too.

lol, what do you mean for eating? I don't eat shea butter or lavender oil lol. I have some commercial hair produts that I bought last semester. I was gonna use them but forgot about it. As I'm writing this, I still haven't used them. I usually stick with the homemade stuff that I make. I still have jars and bottles of Qhemet Biologics, Aubrey Organics, Curls, and Jane Carter Solution. I even have jars of the discontinued Garnier Soft Curl hair cream . Nowadays I just stick to making my own hair butter, pomades, gels and soaps. Seems a lot cheaper for me to make my own stuff than to buy it in stores. [/quote]lol, sorry. when u said homemade, im thinking like avocado/mayo/honey treatments. those kinds. i have shea butter, lanvender oil, peppermint oil, coconut oil, and jamaican black castor oil. I dont really make any "homemade" out of them. I just add them to my hair conditioner to add moisture and slip. I was using aubrey organics honeysuckle rose. It was good but Idk, i wanted to try out conditioners and i was tired of ordering online. shoot, u can send those products my way. lol jk
