I Cannot Even Express How Wonderful the DFW SL Gathering Was on Sunday!
I had the most awesome time ever on Sunday at the Sisterlock brunch held at the Cheesecake Factory! Finally, I was able to meet all the SL'ed women from the DFW area, and let me just say they did not disappoint. Everyone was just as beautiful and elegant as I thought they'd be. And the glorious locs... It was truly something to behold! I was so overwhelmed that I couldn't even really take photos. Therefore, I'm going to rely on Ms. Maryee to represent with her images because she took a billion photos (click on her name to go to her blog).
Speaking of Ms. Maryee. During the course of the brunch, she interviewed each lady about her SL experience. When she asked to interview me, I gladly accepted. So I'm standing there and she's standing there holding this tiny camera. I'm smiling waiting for her to snap a photo (cheesing EXTRA hard). Finally she says with a smirk that I can start talking any time. LOL! Why was that tiny camera a camcorder as well? I was totally clueless and totally embarassed! All that time I'd been standing there cheesing like a cheshire cat (or chessie cat as my Grandma would say), she was recording! LOL! LOL! The wonderment of new technology...I really need to get a clue!
But I digress. As if the brunch wasn't fab enough, afterwards we went over to NorthPark MAll for an impromptu photoshoot. Let me just tell you, we were beyond divaish (yes I made up that word). Everyone was stopping to figure out who we were. I believe our witty, soon to be attorney, Brunsli told one gentleman we were a group of black female Republicans, while our designated photographer(LaChanda's cute young niece with lots of Louisiana flava) told folks we were with Oprah. I have to say I cringed at both... but nevertheless it was TONS of FUN! I hated to leave at 3:00 p.m., even though the brunch had started at 11 a.m.

It was great to meet you!
Yes, I asked our photographer to guess what we had in common. He couldn't figure it out, so I told him we were Republicans. He was a little disturbed, because he was not. I told him it was just me being silly in a red state. Hmmm...maybe that's why Ally said I'm infamous.
I too had a fab time hanging with all the girls. Your hair looks even better in person. Welcome to the group and I look forward to more SL gatherings!
Girl you are soooo funny!! Now you know your "photo shoot" is going to be in the "bloopers" section of the video right? It's sooo cute and of course funny. You are a delightful lady and I'm so pleased to have met you. The blogs really help bridge the gap in meeting folks for the first ti. Pleinement homme, pleinement Dieu: quelle conscience avait-il de celà, peut-on penser une conscience alternée (évidemment non, ce serait hérétique), une pleine conscience des deux, une prise de conscience progressive qui aboutit à la Croix??? Questions passionnantes, qui ne trouvent malheureusement pas encore d'écho en théologie!! Je me souviens que Mgr Le Vert nous disait que la théologie réagissait tardivement à la théologie (manque d'audace selon Emmanuel Falque! qui a raison d'ailleurs), Jean-Marie nous disait que eu égard au développement de la philosophie (depuis Hegel; comme tu le soulignes parfaitement), il était urgent et plus qu'urgent de réfléchir sur cette question de la conscience du Christ. A vrai dire je souhaite ardemment que Falque s'y colle, avec son point de vue phénoménolog
Hey there littl mamma (-:
You are just too cute and your hair looks phenomenal. I anticipate that you are going to have a glorious lock journey.
I look foward to seeing you at the next gathering!
Dear Anonymous,
Your French is way better than mine, and while I managed to translate your message fairly well, I'm a little lost on the context. Most certainly you are a philosopher as you speak of the greats; however something got lost in the translation. Feel free to shoot me an e-mail to further expound on your thoughts. rroberts2000@yahoo.com
You ladies look so good! I have traditional locs, but have decided that if I ever get another set, they would definitely be sisterlocs! Such versatility!! Such uniqueness!! Such beauty!!!
It was wonderful meeting you as well. Your locks are too cute and I can already tell they are going to be da bomb as they continue to grow. I'm glad that you could join our group and I'm looking forward to getting to know you better. Until then, remain strong, locked and natural!
Dear Ladies,
It was great meeting you all. I am in awe of how beautiful yet unique each of you and your SLs are. Can't wait for my SLs to mature. You guys are the BOMB!
I hate I missed it this year. But I will be at the next one.. I was being born into the locked family on Monday the 16th, the day after the gathering.. :)
