This was written June 3rd.


When I was a girl there are a few this I wanted.

1. To marry Kris Smith from the duo Kriss Kross.

2. To be a Jet Beauty Of The Week.

3. To be short and curvy like Six from Blossom.



For a little black girl growing up in the 80s isnt like today. there are so many black women in news media education and so on a young black girl has a lot she can see herself in. So I would look to Ebony, Jet, and Essence . Jet always had a Beauty of the week and she was more often than not chocolaty and bodified. I wanted to be her. I was never tall enough to be a model but I tried. ha ha ha



Kriss Smith was a totally cute boy and as of lastnight after reading about his coffee table book of art, poems and lyrics I once again have a celebrity crush. I went to bed feeling about him like the girls I see tripping for the Jonas Bros.



I wanted to be short and curvy. If you have seen totaly old shool disney cartoons. The ones from the 40s that were silent but full of swing and jazz. The girls were always large in the chest, small in the waist and big on the bottom. At the age of 5 I knew how I wanted my body to be. My mom and maternal Grandmother are tall and pear shaped. No bra required. I don't think I have ever seen them in one in my life. All of a sudden I grew up and I was short and curvy like one of those Disney cartoons.

I may have not gotten the first two but atleast I am happy with my body.
