Wednesday Beauty on a Friday

Once again, I can’t tell you her name or where she’s from but she definitely deserves a place among our Wednesday Beauties. Don’t you think?

Woman of many dreams

The first Wednesday Beauty of 2012 is Neo Mahloane.

In this Petra Rolinec photo, you can only imagine the wonderful or not so wonderful thoughts running through her beautiful mind! And the makeup is just stunning. The colors and contrasts are just amazaing Naushina Khan, the makeup artist, did a great job!

For more vibrant and captivating photos check out Petra’s Flickr photostream and don’t forget to check back next week for our next Wednesday Beauty and if you have a lady that you think should be featured on my blog send me an email at blackliberal@yahoo.com.

Wednesday Beauty Killing It

This week’s Wednesday Beauty was found on DiverseblkBeauty’s photostream on flickr.

The model didn’t have a name attached to her shot unfortunately, but she didn’t really need it. Her look, clothes and attitude in this shot combined helped to make her one of Black Liberal’s Wednesday Beauties.

And if you want to see more Black Girls Killing It check out their facebook page.

And remember if you know a Black beauty or a post, idea you would like me to feature on my blog drop me an email at blackliberal@yahoo.com I’d love to hear from you.

 

 

 

 

 

Round and round she goes..

This week’s Wednesday Beauty is Shai White.

I love the colors and tones in this shot. Check out the photographer, Chris Willis’ other work on flickr.com.

Denmark Elects First Female Prime Minister

Denmark just elected its first female Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt . Thorning-Schmidt leader of the Danish Social Democrats ended the far right’s 10 year lock on the Danish government. She led her party (a four party coalition actually) to victory by capturing 89 seats in Denmark’s 179-seat parliament effectively bringing to an end 10 years of center-right rule.

Just one more lady out there doing her thing an inspiring more young women around the world to get up and start doing rather than just talking.

Congrats to her and to the Danish people!

I think Beyoncé’s song Run The World is appropriate don’t you?

Is Yelawolf the Southern Eminem?

When I first heard Rapper Yelawolf’s “Pop the trunk” I liked it. I liked the realism, the skill and the beat.

However, I couldn’t, as hard as I tried, stop myself from asking, “Isn’t this dude just a Southern Eminem?”

In a few weeks he’ll be releasing his debut album so we’ll know soon enough if there’s any truth in my question.

Undoubtedly he was influenced by Eminem but I hope that influence hasn’t morphed into imitation.

Warning this is the uncensored version.

Black women aren’t as sexy as other women..we’ve all heard that one..

Black women aren’t pretty! Well, maybe the light skinned ones are but MOST DEFINITELY NOT the dark skin ones! This isn’t a new topic. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard this from the mouths of men of all different races but it doesn’t just come from men it also comes from women, BLACK women as well. Big shock? Nope, we hate on ourselves the worst. Given the recent controversy surrounding the Psychology today article written by Satoshi Kanazawa of the London School of Economics asking “Why Are Black Women Less Physically Attractive Than Other Women? Why black women, but not black men ?”  I hope that the ‘shadeism ‘ that exists within our own community is discussed and that we don’t just admonish Kanazawa but we admonish all those who attempt to degrade and denigrate black women especially our dark skinned black women.

Check out a post I wrote a few years back about this same issue when Iman, a sista, declared Michelle Obama to be ‘not a great beauty ‘.

And if you want some candid and beautiful shots of black women check my blog every Wedneday for my pick for the Wednesday Beauty of the week.

Once again I’m hanging my head in shame

Ok, go ahead and yell at me. I deserve it. I really do deserve to be yelled at and I promise to not get mad or to yell back at you.

I know you’re used to me taking long breaks from blogging but this has definitely been my longest break so far and  I’ve probably lost quite a few of my most loyal fans and readers. To you should you ever return to Conversations With An Unapologetic Black Liberal I offer you my sincerest apology and I hang my head in shame. In fact I’m hanging it right now…lol.

So why have I been away for this long? It’s not because I don’t have a lot to talk about with the 2010 midterm elections right around the corner and the Democratic majority in danger and all the crap they seem to be doing..I have loads to talk about..and it’s not because I got bored either although I will admit those were some of my past reasons. Nope, this time I have a great reason—–I’ve started a business. And I’m in the final stages of establishing it. Meaning I’m about to sign the lease and I should start moving my inventory to the location by the middle of  November!

Now, I wish I could give you all the details right now so that you can share in my excitement but I can’t. I’m still holding a few of my cards to my chest as usual but I promise you that I will now try to dedicate at least one hour a day to blogging.

And while I can’t promise to never, ever take a break again bloggers need vacations too you know?  I will promise to never stay away as long as I have this last time.

Now, let’s start the journey once again.

Lindsay Lohan and the lesbian gangs?

I’ve seen some weird headlines in my life hell I’ve probably written a few myself but this is definitely one of the weirdest headlines and story I’ve ever seen from a mainstream news source!
