Subject matter: Hair: teeny-weeny-afros, twists, and locs “Ugh! You and your feminism!” Research: misogyny in One Hundred Years of Solitude Knitting! Afrika Step! Role-playing: Victoriana, Palladium, and D & D Relevant links: The song played is “Silsila Yeh Chahat Ka” from Devdas, which was featured in the 8/20/2006 episode of Bollywood’s Best. I think it’s a beautiful song. Nappturality – A nice forum for information on going natural (or “napptural”). It’s been a healthy source of info…
