My brother showed me the EBONY tumblr, a collection of vintage ads, covers, and articles from the magazine, late 1950's through the early 1980's. It's really quite amazing, despite all the turmoil of the civil rights movement, the magazine remained a shining star highlighting some of the most talented and beautiful people of black America. Thanks, brother!

Eden Rock and Vegetales

all images via Citizen K. Really inspired by the haunted garden feeling, and the big swirly font for both spreads. Colors always feel so much more vibrant against black, like in the morning after a rain. The dirt is pitch black, and the greens and oranges and reds of foliage seem as if they were collaged on top, they pop so bright.  

Kid in Play

Sometimes i get the urge to cut my hair, and have a curly little 'fro like i did a few years back. Then i see images like this, and remember why I started growing it out in the first place. I love the feminine power that seems to be held in long locks of hair. 

I even love that they didn't even attempt to hide that she's got a ton of tracks of extentions. Love the look, but fake ain't really my jam, so just give me a few more years and I'll be rocking this au natural.

Then things got a little weird
