HMMMMM...FOR A BLACK GIRL

Well, you know your girl Ms. Kiss My Lips has nothing but time on her hands these days the only thing I have time for is fashion? I was walking in the mall today with my son and I caught a picture of an African American girl posing for one of the major clothing companies. I was looking at her jewelry, I wanted to go inside the store. I stepped inside and began to browse. A man approached me while I was browsing, young handsome man, he said he was Italian with blue eyes. "Excuse me, I don't usually come to women in the mall but I gotta tell you, you're real pretty for a black girl." HMMM.....for a black girl? I looked at him not with anger nor with hate but I played the echo. " A black girl?" I asked. He stood there quietly and he began to turn blush red. "No, I mean you're a pretty girl," he said obviously feeling embarassed. I was curious why wasn't I just a pretty girl in the beginning?

  1. Woman of color has always been beautiful, but it wasn't always acknowledged. It’s still a struggle to accept ethic face figure as been attractive, until some celebrity has these attraction full lips (Angelina Jolie), big hips (Jennifer Lopez) etc. As we evolve as humane we understand that to appreciate different appearance of beautiful doesn’t demean your only.
