I love self-portraits. 

Not to satisfy narcissistic urges, but as a creative outlet for communication – a different method of articulating myself, or, sometimes, just as a stamp in my visual scrapbook to reflect upon. 

I think I’m a pretty decent writer but, of course, I’d much rather communicate visually. 

.RaW is just another visual stamp in my life’s timeline. I’ve been meaning to take more self-portraits, but, unfortunately, I don’t have the creative space I once had,  for my equipment – I’m limited to a dimly lit reading lamp for off-camera lighting.

We’ve already written about weave thefts, and we cover the disturbing national trend in the new edition of Hair Story, but a five-year jail sentence seems a little harsh for stealing some Hawaiian Silky strands. Doesn’t it? Not to make light of a serious situation, but five years is a long time to be behind bars, so of course we did some additional research.

Turns out, the 19-year old Maryland woman who committed this crime, not only stole $800 worth of weave hair in broad daylight, she viciously beat the store owner up in the process and completely ignored the fact that her baby was caught up in the middle of her madness.
