no hatin' on the 9 year old.

WATCH THIS FIRST.

so this song "whip my hair" by willow smith leaked a lil over a month ago.  it is instantly insanely catchy!  the video dropped this week and as i watched it i was consumed with: JEALOUSY???

yet, willow smith does not approve.

my reasoning:

fashion.  gurls got good style, in general.  she is wild and 9 years old so she can get away with that shit.  i am a teacher of 9 year olds and cannot wear yellow jumpsuits to work.  it is unfortunate but true.  also, she is skinny and prepubescent...not fair.  you hit puberty you just kinda BLOW UP...and that was 10 years ago!  eww.  

are those colored contacts???  always a good choice for your 4th grader...

fly nails!  another reason i envy people of youth!  i mean, i can't wear this shit anymore...my "edgy" ship has set sail as far as i am concerned.  i can't dye my hair crazy colors or wear all my 7 ear piercings and nose ring like i used to.  nails like this will have my coworkers in a tizzy!  it's just not fair as far as i am concerned.  it's cool though; someday i am going to have a little girl and i am gonna be like YOU WILL BE AN ORIGINAL YOU HEAR ME??? my living doll.

SO CUTEEEE:

the hair!!! i have always admired the versatility of black hair and hair is always a hot topic for debate!  people have hair envy, skin envy, body envy no matter what.  you always want what you can't have.  but with weaves and braiding you can have the BEST hair and you can change it!  the only problem is the upkeep and the money.  when i hear songs like this i think of all the little girls i worked with in chicago who were constantly at odds with their appearance.  i can only hope that willow smith could act as a good positive role models for girls everywhere.  i mean her message is real!!! all you gotta do it whip yo hair back and forth!
