I found this blog entry online, featuring me as one of Mizani's platform artist. The weekend of the American Beauty Show we showcase Mizani's True Textures line on varies natural textures. We enhanced curls with True Texture's Perfect Curl, stretch curls to their max with Moisture Stretch creating big bodacious hair. I loved it, had a blast!!

And that was it......
It's funny I have been busy all day, just wanting to sit with a warm cup of tea and write, write anything. So here I am at 2 in the morning with my cup of tea AND a croissant just writing. I am typically not a good writer in my opinion, actually no one really knows this but I had to take my writing entrance exam a whooping 5 times before I could see the day light of an English 101 class so bear with me please.
Today was one of my days off. I styled a wig for a burlesque show, that I am very proud of (it turned out to be a hit), left a song on my ex's voicemail from a private number and wore the same outfit with 3 different pairs of shoes through out the day. So for me that's a pretty cool day.
I saw something on the train especially cool, something I wanted to write about. It was so profound to me, hopefully it means something to you. If anybody knows anything about the New York city train system, you know you can see some of the craziest things and people New York has to offer. Riding in a crowded train I sat across from two drug addicts a man and a woman. They appeared to be a couple, nodding off while in the middle of a conversation. They were rough looking if you can imagine, definitely not approachable. The boyfriend was controlling and demanding. I figured that out by the way he spoke to her, his girlfriend. Out of no where this Chinese woman sitting beside them just starts massaging the girlfriend's hand, all while she nodded off looking up at her maybe once or twice. The train came to the couples stopped and they got off. That was it.

Coming Back
Well its been a few months so I have definitely been busy. Just to catch everyone up, here is a few things I have been up to. I did hair for a taping of "Made"on MTV. As soon as it airs, I will post it here! I traveled with Mizani to Arizona and got trained on the True Textures line for natural curls. Love, love, love the products. I just returned home from doing the ABS show, on platform with Darico Jackson, Evie Johnson, and Virgil McDaniel. I had the opportunity of being on stage for the first time and boy was it an experience. I have been doing shoots, working with different designers, lots of fun stuff. You can look forward to seeing some of the pictures on http://www.hairbymelinda.com/- its almost ready. I am ready to jump back on the band wagon and start typing again. Stay tuned for more post, they are coming soon.

Richesse Hair Color
This is no ammonia demi permanent color — which means it's not a rinse, but not permanent. Richesse can offer slight color changes to the hair for tone on tone, add a touch of gold for flat and dull hair, or even camouflage gray. It's like a conditioning treatment and color all in one (ING ions lock in moisture) that also gives tremedous shine. Now that the holidays are almost over and the stress is winding down, treat yourself. This treatment is less than $50 and lasts six to eight weeks.
My recap of the holidays!
Dop Dop had our Christmas party... We rolled out the carpet for our DopDop stars. Everyone looked wonderful. I will be posting pics as soon as I get them. I didn't get home until six in the morning. Dop Dop-ers sure know how to party, so thank you everyone for a great time. I talked about this over and over again—but it just wouldn't be right if I didn't mention that the finest door-guy ever worked our party. I am going to spread the news: He was an exotic dancer!!! He didn't take off his clothes, but he did make me think of what it's like for the women of these men? Ok, total change of subject..
On Christmas, I spent a few hours at Goddard River Community Center feeding people in need of food. What was so interesting was the amount of volunteers that came out. There were actually too many! The people who came enjoyed a dinner of turkey and gravy, stuffing, peas and carrots, and cranberry sauce, with a variety of cakes, cookies, danishes and loaves of bread. Apple cider, tea and coffee also made its way around to warm everyone up. Over 1,400 meals were served thanks to donations of food, money and time. A lot of people weren't homeless and, by looking at them, you couldn't tell they were in need of a decent meal. I will let everyone know when I am volunteering next, because that's the first thing everyone wants to know—how come you didn't invite me?! And if you know about any other charity events happening, please let me know. I would love to be there.
