"You're nice for a darkskinned girl you know" Right I hear this ALOT and it bugs me... Like what exactly does that mean? It's probably meant to be some kind of a compliment.. but all it does is make me that since I'm darkskinned I can never fully match up.. Why is that??
I've never bleached and I don't think I will but the only reason I wouldn't is because I'm scared It would go wrong.. If I knew it was 100% safe and would definitely work then I'd do it without thinking twice... And I wish that wasn't the case.
The maddest thing is I find really dark skin super sexy and beautiful on other people but I feel like it just looks wrong on me.. I wouldn't even change my colour in a major way... just more chocolatey..
I know I'm provoking "love who you are" talks.. and trust me I know that what I need to do, but hey maybe in time...
"Blick" "Charcoal" "Blackie" "Midnight" "Shadow" "Darkness"
"Where oh where oh where is shadow..."
Please believe I'll hear atleast one of these or something else everyday...
Anyways... the main reason I started this post was cause I've been up watching The Tyra Banks Show Online and had to post these two shows cause the really struck a chord.. so here you go..
This is part 2 of 5.. I posted part two cause that's when it really got interesting..
And here's the follow up show about bleaching...
If you want to watch the other parts of the first show then...
