One evening I was invited to a farewell party for a friend at a club in downtown DC. I stepped in the establishment wearing a curve-hugging black dress with my strapped ankle, black stilettos. My waist-length boxbraids were framing my minimally made-up face and I sealed my wardrobe with a burgundy lip. You couldn’t tell me I wasn’t looking red-hot that evening. Since my sexy vibe was illuminating throughout the evening, a higher than usual amount of guys try to spit their game to me. Even one of them was willing to be my photographer for the first half evening. In the words of Carrie Bradshaw, I couldn’t help but think, was I feeling really sexy because of the way I was dressed?
We keep hearing about the dangers of not wearing sunscreen and yet according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, only 14.3% of men and 29.9% of women apply sunscreen regularly. Also, 63% of African Americans have never used sunscreen.
Usually around this time in DC we would be snowed in by now. Whining about the very cold temperatures and how we really wish it was spring or summer already. But instead we’ve had rain, some winds and temperatures as high as 70 as of yesterday. Which means here, in the DMV area, it’s been pretty mild lately. So I can’t complain about it. However, it still gets cold and icy from time to time. These are the days where I need to be reminded that heat does exist. In that case, orange may be the best color to wear.
One day after work, I was on the platform, waiting for the train to arrive. A guy walked pass by me. Then a few seconds later his cologne flew by and immediately I turned to his direction. I never saw his face, but my first thought was who is this hottie?
Then the question popped up:
Can smelling good make you more attractive?
