Natural Hair Sensation-"Our nation is a rainbow-red, yellow, brown, black, and white-and we're all precious in God's sight." - Jesse Jackson
Ever since I started transitioning to my natural hair/texture, I realize that I discover a whole new me . New taste in music , fashion and the way that I think, and see the world.
I have accepted on a whole new level that there are different forms of beauty , and that my black is beautiful.
I never knew that changing my hair could change the way i think.
I have begin to get in touch with my roots, listening to a whole genre of music.
I am now following jazz musician Esperanza Spalding, and I have really gotten into Erykah Badu. Never did take time to listen to her before.
I must say i love this feeling. Its a great way to start the new year. I feel free,
I feel energize, I feel happy. I truly feel beautiful.

Special Exhibitions Gallery
September 17, 2010 - January 8, 2011 / Extended through April 2, 2011
"Japan Fashion Now is the first exhibition to explore how Japanese fashion has evolved in recent years. Japanese fashion today embraces not only the cerebral, avant-garde looks associated with the first wave of Japanese design in the 1980s, but also a range of subcultural and youth-oriented styles, such as the Elegant Gothic Lolita style and the Cosplay phenomenon. In addition, Japanese fashion often has a strong component of realism and an obsessive interest in perfecting classic styles. Contemporary Japanese fashion is globally significant precisely because it mixes elements of realism, such as high-tech fabrics or creating a perfect pair of jeans, with both the avant-garde and pop cultural elements, especially those associated with electronic media, such as manga (comics), anime (animated cartoons), and video games."
