What's wrong with her hair?

I'm currently in class and we're designing professional portfolios for our "Branding Project."

We have to provide a "professional" picture as part of the portfolio and a young lady with natural hair asked how the photo should look.

My teacher answers the question, then goes on to say "I wouldn't wear a twist-out to an interview...If you hair is long enough to put it in a bun, you should put it in a bun... You hair looks neat [in twists], so you can wear it like that, but that's atypical."

Why? Why is her hair "atypical?!"

My hair grew from my scalp. I can look professional with my hair in a twist-out. If you don't think so, that's not my problem.


My teacher also has natural hair. I just don't understand the "culture" created by "professional" African Americans.

Thinking out loud...

As if you weren't tired of Kim Kardashian...

...she's the star of her fiancé Kanye West's new video.

Kanye West released a new video for "Bound 2" from his album, Yeezus on Ellen.

The video seems very poorly created. Many of the scenes are in front of a green screen and it's more than obvious. That seems to be a trend with Rap/Hip-Hop music videos lately.

The couple seen is riding on a motorcycle, Kim facing Kanye, into the sky.

It seems as if she is participating in some sort of sex move. That wouldn't be surprising...



The song itself is catchy with an R&B feel. What do you think about the video?
