To Shave or Not to Shave?
And I’m not talking about your legs. R&B singer Cassie looks super HOT with her half shaved head! I recently saw pictures of it and thought it was brilliant. Who? Why?…I’m not too familiar with Cassie either, meaning that I only know of one of her songs–a good little club jam that graced the airwaves for what seems like two or three years. She’s also been seen canoodling with P. Diddy, or so rumor has it. Anyway, about three months ago, she shaved half of her head for a shocking new look I guess. Of course some love it (like me), and some hate it. For those of you who hate it I say, “Open your mind a bit!!!” Her makeup looks amazing too! Obviously she was professionally styled for this but the smoky gray on her eyelids makes her green eyes (I think those are contacts by the way) really pop.
Here is Cassie at the 2009 BET Awards, and I think she looks absolutely stunning. She was probably thinking “Diddy, eat your heart out!”
This is what Cassie looked like before
She was definitely just as gorgeous then but now with her new look she has a more exotic thing going. She also has a good head for revealing as shaved. Anyone can do this really, but its not going to look the same on everyone of course. Cassie actually reminds me of the model and wife of David Bowie, Iman.
Iman has been like the ultimate exotic African American supermodel forever. She makes cosmetics now. But seeing those photos of Cassie at the BET Awards just made me think of Iman. Cassie looks mature now, statuesque and she’s carrying herself with confidence, something Iman always does in every photo that is snapped of her. The thing is, if you decide to do something this drastic, you must be able to wear it with confidence. As silly as that sounds, its just the plain old truth. My hair is curly and wild, and I might consider doing this one day, not shaving half of my head, only a small portion on the right side, the area where you tuck you hair behind your ear. I had a previous co-worker that had half of her head shaved. It looked good. She wore it well. My best friend shaved a little portion of her head and her hair kind of falls into it, disguising it sometimes. I think it looks awesome. I don’t know you guys…is this the new trend???
