Yay! I finally went to THE SISTERLOCKS HOMECOMING!!..and I am SO glad I did! Since I have had my locks (May 2008), I was 'going' to Homecoming and I finally made it July 2010! I marked the second weekend of July on my calendar as soon as I bought it and did not allow myself to schedule client appointments on that weekend! So me, my sister (and Sisterlocks client) and a friend (also a Sisterlocks client!) were in San Diego Thursday - Monday and had an awesome time!! If you are a Sisterlocks wearer or consultant or just love you some Sisterlocks (but don't have them for whatever reason), San Diego, CA is the place to be on the second weekend of July...forever!
The keynote speaker of this year's event was Miss Linda "Mosetta" Jones, creater of the Nappy Hair Affair! She was hilarious and just awesome...as she strolled around the (outdoor) room tapping everyone on their naps with her magic afro-wand! She was a comedian!
Dr. Cornwell was just her awesome self! I have talked to/interacted with Dr. C in person twice in my life and each time I love her more!! She's just a down-to-earth, powerful, inspiring...just an awesome person!! Dr. C and the entire Sisterlocks staff were the best and fed us well the entire weekend! We took a tour of San Diego and met the original sisters of SISTERlocks - Miss Carol and Miss Celeste!
It is SO worth the investment to take the trip! We met some other lovely Sisterlocks wearers and consultants from across the country who we have kept in touch with since meeting...so we made new friends!...everybody say "awwwww!" I also met a cutie...he lives in Cali and I am in NC so... :-)
Anyway...so my computer is not being my friend right now and not allowing me to upload the photos that I want to... Oh yeah - I did, well all 3 of us had our first Sisterlocks photoshoot!! John did an awesome job! I think I am posting some pictures below, but I keep getting weird messages as I am working on this, so we'll see if they show up! I think there is a picture posted of Mosetta and her afro-wand below too!
Well I expect to see more of you Sisterlocks folks at the Homecoming 2011...North Carolina - we are gonna represent next year!! :-)
