images like this is why you gotta be specific and type in "Black" when you're searching things online. Typed in 'locs from the side' searching for a ref. That's on me. Forgot to follow my own rule. What's crazy is this is actually what so many depictions of locs end up looking like when people don't know how to draw em on Black heads- where the top of the head is straightened and then just the ends are locs.

omg did you guys hear the latest announcement
they're brainstorming
The original "boop-boop-be-doop" Girls
Like I've said before it's never to early to appreciate black history!! Shout out to the original "boop-boop-be-doop" girls!❤️💚🧡🖤
Florence Mills
gertrude saunders
Nina Mae McKinney
Baby esther jones(Esther Lee jones!)
Nina Mae McKinney really reminds me of Jupiter?? 😭😭
All these black girls were the ones saying the "boop-boop-be-doop" way before helen kane made it popular(and tried to claim it as her own...gertrude saunders was the one who really originated the "boop-boop-be-doop"!She was born in Asheville, North Carolina, and studied at Benedict College, Columbia before leaving in her teens to join a vaudeville troupe based in Chicago, organized by Billy King. She was a featured singer and comedian, and performed a number of hit songs including "Wait 'Til the Cows Come Home" (1918), "Hot Dog" (1919), and "Rose of Washington Square" (1920), as well as starring in King's 1919 stage production of Over the Top, which "dramatized the state of African Americans at the time of the Paris Peace Conference". She returned to perform in revues during the 1930s, and was claimed in some reports as having, some years earlier, originated the "boop-oop-a-doop" lyrics in scat singing, later associated with Helen Kane. Saunders featured in several movies, including an uncredited role as a servant in The Toy Wife (1938). In 1939, she co-produced her own show, Midnight Steppers, and she performed in the 1943 Broadway show Run, Little Chillun.She also appeared in several films aimed at African American audiences, such as Big Timers (1945) and Sepia Cinderella (1947). Baby esthers character was also based off of gertrude!
Passed at age 87)
Nina Mae McKinney🧡
was an American actress and singer who worked internationally during the 1930s and in the postwar period in theatre, film and television, after beginning her career on Broadway and in Hollywood. Dubbed "The Black Garbo" in Europe because of her striking beauty,McKinney was both one of the first African-American film stars in the United States and one of the first African-Americans to appear on British television. She would also use the boop-boop-be-doop in her acts as well!!!(she passed at 54 years!)
Florence mills💚
Florence Mills (Florence Winfrey) was born a daughter of formerly enslaved parents Nellie (Simon) and John Winfrey in 1896 in Washington, D.C. She began performing as a child. At the age of six she sang duets with her two older sisters, Olivia and Maude. They eventually formed a vaudeville act, calling themselves the Mills Sisters. The act did well, appearing in theaters along the Atlantic seaboard. Florence's sisters eventually quit performing, but Florence stayed with it, determined to pursue a career in show business. She joined Ada Smith, Cora Green, and Carolyn Williams in the Panama Four, which had some success. She then joined a traveling Black show, the Tennessee Ten, and in 1917 she met the dance director and acrobatic dancer Ulysses "Slow Kid" Thompson (1888–1990), to whom she would be married from 1921 until her death.Mills became well known in New York as a result of her role in the Broadway musical Shuffle Along (1921) at Daly's 63rd Street Theatre (barely on Broadway), one of the events marking the beginning of the Harlem Renaissance. She received favorable reviews in London, Paris, Ostend, Liverpool, and other European venues. She told the press that despite her years in vaudeville, she credited Shuffle Along with launching her career. She also used the boop-boop-be-doop frequently over the years as well!
She passed at 31 years
Baby esther jones 🖤
Esther Lee Jones (born c. 1918), known by her stage names "Baby Esther", "Little Esther", and other similar variations, was an American singer and child entertainer of the late 1920s, known for interpreting popular songs with a "mixture of seriousness and childish mischief". After gaining attention in her hometown of Chicago, she became an international celebrity before leaving the public spotlight as a teenager.in 1932, when singer Helen Kane sued Fleischer Studios, claiming that they had appropriated her persona for the voice of the cartoon character Betty Boop, the studios defended themselves by arguing that Kane's style of singing—including an infantile voice and use of the phrase "boop-boop-a-doop"—was not her own invention and was in fact inspired by Jones. The court ruled against Kane.
The age of when baby esther died is unknown for now..Just know she didn't die when she was a teenager she left the industry she didn't pass.
"What in the world does this got to do with Jupiter deross?"
Recently ive did research on these girls (NOT FROM AI OVERVIEW not a good source) ive decided to change the inspiration towards Jupiter deross it would be better if she was actually based/inspired by the original boop girls and not from other black women who have nothing to do with her but then I also wanted to celebrate black history! Regardless of what day or month it is..
hi yes hello what the fuck is metrosexual lmfao
It's hard to explain to zoomers just how insanely homophobic the early 2000s were. If you were male, and like, washed your hair regularly, people would call you a faggot.
So, dudes who washed their hair and wore button ups developed the term "metrosexual" which meant "I care about my appearance but I am attracted to women and don't have sex with men."
And not just "oh people called you gay to be mean" like they literally thought you were homosexual and hiding it. Women would literally be like "damn, I was super attracted to him, but I heard he wore shorts more than twice in a week, so I guess he must like men."
you couldn't even wear a scarf. the scarf made you gay.
(circa 2008)
Btw the Katy Perry clip above is from her first single "Ur so gay"
Early 2000's were so homophobic that I had a friend tell me he loved his father and immediately followed it with "no homo though."

doctors love saying “it’s just your anxiety” to mean “I don’t have to treat you” as if anxiety doesn’t need to be treated
idk if your anxiety is so bad you have tics or repeated vomiting or horrible migraines or trouble breathing or seizures or fainting spells or temporary paralysis or or or IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU SHOULD TREAT THAT FUCKING ANXIETY!!! (and if you start treating anxiety and the symptoms don’t go away it might be that the anxiety is caused by the symptoms and not the other way around. and you should treat the underlying cause)
even IF it is “just anxiety” it still needs to be treated
I loooove ominously giggling when I'm getting my friends into smth new. They ask me a spoilery question and I get to do this
