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?


After the storm there she stands..

Today’s Wednesday Beauty is another anonymous beauty from Flickr. The shot was taken by DiverseblkBeauty and is titled After The Storm. And after a day of protesting or a really long, bad day she’s definitely a sight for sore eyes. Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday!


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!

This week’s Wednesday beauty is Kenyan Ajuma Nasenyana

She doesn’t shape her eyebrows, or shave her legs and she swears by Vaseline and Cocoa Butter Lotion! Model Ajuma Nasenyana may not be a household name but based on her international work for agencies in New York, London, Italy, Austria, Spain, Ireland, Canada and Sweden we’re sure you’ll be seeing lots more of Ajuma and we’re pleased to feature her as this week’s Wednesday Beauty!

 


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.

Tide Stay-at-Home Dad commercial..

Tide, a popular American laundry detergent, is running a new commercial featuring a stay-at-home dad speaking about the benefits of Tide Boost.

I can’t recall another major household brand, as well-known as Tide featuring a stay-at-home dad, I wonder if we’ll see more brands following suit?

At this moment corporate America, hell corporations in general, don’t deserve one iota of praise from the public but Proctor & Gamble has earned at the very least a “well done” for having the guts to flip the gender roles and promote this non-traditional spokesman and in effect, an idea, for one of their most beloved products. I applaud Proctor & Gamble’s efforts to empower men who have chosen to throw off society’s shackles and embrace the primary care-giver role which once the main and in most cases the only role for women.  P&G, I tip my hat to you!


You know, I’m fine!

This week’s Wednesday Beauty is….

I don’t know her name but that pose says it all!

If you know her name please share it..I’ll be more than happy to post it.

10 facts about Islamic Sharia Law

This past Sunday Mustafa Abdul Jalil, chairman of Libya’s National Transitional Council, said, “We, as an Islamic state, have adopted the Islamic Sharia as the main source of legislation as such, any law that runs contrary to the Islamic principles of the Islamic Sharia is legally void”.

You could hear the collective gasp of many in the West who after spending billions of dollars to help liberate Libya were left wondering after Jalil statements, if they had actively helped to create another oppressive Islamic regime? Chairman Jalil, has since then, sought to assure and calm Western leaders that this is not the case but only time will tell however here are 10 facts we all should know about sharia law.

  1. In Arabic Sharia means, “the clear, well trodden path to water.”
  2. Sharia law is derived from a combination of sources including the Qur’ an, the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad and the rulings of Islamic scholars.
  3. Sharia law seeks to regulate the actions of muslims and puts the actions into five categories, obligatory, recommended, permitted, dislike and forbidden.
  4. Sharia law sets out rules of conduct for women and men.
  5. Sharia manuels are often divided into four parts: laws relationg to personal acts of worship, laws relating to commercial dealings, laws relating to marriage and divorce and penal laws.
  6. The Qur ‘an the primary source of Sharia law was revealed to the Prophet Muhammed over 23 years.
  7. They are two agreed upon derived sources of Sharia law; scholarly consensus (ijma) and legal analogy (qiyas).
  8. Sharia law does not require women to wear the burqua.
  9. Several countries, with the largest percentage of muslims Indonesia, Bangladesh and Pakistan have secular constitutions and laws with limited Islamic provisions.
  10. Crimes under Islamic laws can be broken down into 3 major categories Haad Crimes (most serious), Tazir Crimes (least serious) and Qesas Crimes (revenge crimes restitution).
