Cosplay is short for costume play.

I bought some castor oil from walgreens, but I'm not sure if it's the right thing (it looks like this [lh5.googleusercontent.com]...). I think I might just try and get that Jamaican Castor Oil. Do you use that? I heard that it can get kind of smelly.

Honestly, this entire outfit is confusing me. Not confused as in "Why did she wear that?!" but confused as in "I don't know what's happening here". Is the jacket also asymmetrical, or does it stop at about where her wrist falls? Maybe it's not that confusing and my eyes are just not working too well...

Pshh, I love box braids! When I got them I didn't get them quite as thick and nowhere near as long as she did, but they were great! I suppose they're not everyone's cup of tea though.

Saw this picture on another site. Now I'm even more confused. Are the shorts....hot pants? Is it a skirt/hot-pant combination?! The side photo here on Jez kind of made them look like normal length shorts but now I'm thinking that's just the length of the blazer we're seeing.

I'm not quite a natural hair guru yet, all I can do is regurgitate things I read on various blogs (I'm actually still transitioning, too. Not brave enough to cut off the ends yet!). I'm also a fairly broke college student, but I spent the money on the twists just because I know they should last me until at least the…

Yeah, that's other thing, I feel like my face is too wide for the P.J braids. I think I have the height (I'm basically 5'9) but I don't know if they'd be flattering. Also, I just feel like they'd wreck my edges.

Solange is my natural hair idol ( I think I say this every time she pops up). She wasn't a major factor in my decision to go natural, but she did play a small part. I know she often wears weaves and wigs, but I just love all of her hair styles. She definitely played a huge part in my decision to get box braids this…

Looks less like a robot and more like an interactive video type thing. I wish we could've seen the sides. She looks quite flat, which also makes her seem more like a screen shaped like a human than a robot. Then again, I'm thinking about Sci-Fi robots (and even some of the robots we've seen videos before) so this…

His laugh is amazing! It's so much deeper than expected. It just makes me want to chuckle along.

Wow, rude much? So I misunderstood the person's comment and asked for clarification and you decided to jump down my throat? I am capable of reading, but sometimes things are not clear to me, and so I ask someone to clarify. People read things incorrectly or have off-readings quite often, especially on the internet.…

Actually, I'm not. That's why I commented with a question, I always seek clarification before I actually try and argue something.

Will Smith, as in 2012 Will Smith, performing the theme to Fresh Prince on Graham Norton. It starts at about 1:50 but you should just watch it from the beginning. You're welcome. (Also, I suppose I should issue an apology as well because this will inevitably get stuck in at least one person's head who watches the…

I was totally lady-crushin' on Azmarie while she was on Top Model. Tyra was a fool to let her go. She just couldn't stand anyone sticking up for themselves.

Really?! I had no clue about Cliff's dad (Earle Hyman). I always found it so funny (interesting-funny, not haha-funny) that Sabrina Le Beauf, who played Sandra, almost didn't get the job because she's only 10 years younger than Phylicia Rashad, when Earle Hyman is only 11 years older than Bill Cosby and there was no…

I was also a wrestling fan at the peak of Chyna's popularity. I was in elementary school, however, so you must have a few years on me. I loved her so much and in all the video games (I, and my brother, were really into wrestling. Well, enough to want the video game) I would always play her and in the ones that let us…

You should change your username, unless that's a fake e-mail address. I'd hate it if you got spammed or something.

By "Chyna thing" you're referring to the 2012 Exxxotica Expo, right? It's kind of unclear, and Chyna has a history of having her gender questioned

Hmm, I always thought Ke$ha sang that. Whoops.
