Ms Knowles has been busy! not only appearing in this editorial for Glamour Magazine FR but also letting rip via twitter (the celebrity place for public outbursts check it out here) about how much she hates talking about her hair...by erm talking about her hair.
"my hair is not very important to me.....so I don't encourage it to be important to you"
The Carols Daughter poster girl and currently one of their natural hair bloggers is just so damn sick of talking about her natural hair (which she insists she rarely does)
Solange has never struck me as someone who is natural because of a life style choice, rather it fits the look that she is going for at the moment, which is fine by me as long as she keeps wearing fierce shoes.
Solange is fast becoming the queen of the twitter rant, this is one of the few instances I would encourage Solo to take notes from big sis and just let the haters hate and hold a dignified silence in regards to the Natural Nazi's being all up in your twist out! (solange knowles hates twist outs and doesn't sleep with a satin cap ya'll! stop the f**king press!)
So remember people Solange Knowles is NOT the vice president of team natural......but if their was a president of natural hair who would it be?? (answers on a postcard please)
Now go ahead and look at the pretty pictures of Solo but shhhhhhhh don't mention the H-A-I-R!
I love Solange! and her H-A-I-R
Solange has the right to wear her hair in whatever style she deems fit. However, if hair is so unimportant to her and if she truly does not want to talk about hair, why is she the spokesmodel for a natural hair product line, in whose ads she encourages women to care about their hair. A major contradiction if I have ever seen one. P.S. Isn't this the same lady who appeared on Oprah's show to-wait for it- talk about HAIR. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteSTANKIN!!!.... It's funky up in here!!
ReplyDeleteLove her regardless of what she does with her hair.
ReplyDeleteI still think she needs to sit down somewhere.
ReplyDeleteShe has revamped her so-called career and is followed / featured everywhere, because of her hair and she has been milking on it.
She was the one going everywhere talking about her Hair when the movie "good hair" came out!
Although I don't agree with the twist out comment BUT in my book her own hair always looks a mess ( it has nothing to do with the texture or length) more the shape. Also other races of women do their hair for events, no one is accusing them of not liking their "natural hair"
I agree with the top comment...big contradiction. Some celebs drive me nuts. They're receiving more money than some of us may see in a lifetime and they find the silliest things to complain about. Be grateful for where you are. And if you're an inspiration to some folks again, be grateful because we could NOT know who you are but thanks to Carol's daughter, she's posted everywhere. I see Solange ads now more than Beyonce. I'm just sayin'
ReplyDeleteTray
While I love Solange's sense of style, I have to agree with the first comment. I think her twitter reaction was overblown and had she not responded it would've probably just gone away without anyone noticing.
ReplyDeleteMy first giggle of the day! Loved your post, Belle.
ReplyDeleteOh, Solange! I started noticing you because of your hair...I'm just saying...but...lets not talk about your hair since you don't like that. I like YOU, though!
Have always liked Solange and still do. Just another case of being affronted by the true nature of celebrity imaging. Maybe be your own source of inspiration? x
ReplyDeleteI don't get to twitter much so I had no idea about any of this. I like Solange from the ankles down. A fro is a fro, a dress is a dress, but shoes...shoes take you places and she reigns supreme. Can we get a peek into this sistah's shoe closet? That's news worthy.
ReplyDeleteapologies. the most recent anon comment is from me.
