On Behalf of the Pretty Sistahs

Pretty Real

C'mere!
Don't be skurred.
Don't make excuses.
Forget what you were taught about pretty women.
We. Are. Human.
Gigolos ain't the only ones who "get lonely too".
What? You say Pretty Women have it too easy?
Have you asked one how her day was and then really waited for the answer?
Did she snap at you? Are you sure?
Did she hear you correctly? Did you hear her correctly?
Did you approach her with animosity? Curiousity?
Did you drop the "lines" and simply ask her - "Hey Sis, How you doin' today?"
Hmm, she still snapped? Well, then maybe she had a bad day.
Maybe she's just tired of being held to standards that are unreasonable.
Maybe she just wants to be a sistah who is:
Admired for who She Is
Without being touched without her permission or judged.
Or told that "She thinks she's cute." or "She ain't all that anyway."
She just wants to be loved by her man, a Strong Black man who accepts her as she is.
She just wants a Strong Black man who accepts her and won't toss her aside if she dares reveal less than perfect attributes.

Or...maybe that's just me.

Let Us Clear Our Throats...

Sojourner G sent an email inquiry about what this BD is all about, which we greatly appreciate! His simple message helped us to realize that clarity is needed. BD is comprised of a smattering of friends who enjoy creativity, specifically music and fiction. We also appreciate poetry and expository, exploratory writings. We got tired of searching the blog-net for good reads. So, we would like to bring great reads together in one location for 'one-stop-shopping'. Multiple voices under one blog-roof would tear the house down in total harmony! Cool, write?

What U see is not a test we're rockin' to the beat!
When u send us a note we'll gladly move our feet...
And invite U to our Authors list then U can say Hello!
Much better than this silly rhyme - now, we are out the do':-)
