Can you guess who?
Recently I was flipping channels and Cadillac Records was on, I went to see this movie at the theatre when it came out but I decided to watch it again since nothing else was on...I was very curious as to what the actual characters looked like. Who were the people that inspired this film? If you follow this blog you already know how fascinated I am with OLD pictures. Can you guess who is who?

Make it count...ROCK THE VOTE!
VOTE!! Exercise your rights...let your voice be heard! Make it count...
"Little Rock Nine"
When I see pictures like these a series of emotions flood my mind... I feel inspired by their courage and perseverance...I feel motivated to live fearless...I feel angry that in many ways their efforts were in vain. So many young people fought for a proper education and the right to vote and yet some youngsters of today could care less. These pictures are a reality check for me because I am guilty of not thriving to my full potential at times. Today I will hit the polls and cast my vote...there won't be angry mobs waiting to attack me. I don't have to sit in the back of the bus and drink from a "colored" water fountain. These young people featured above and many like them fought for the privileges that we have today. Make sure you vote! November 2, 2010 can make or break you!! *raises fist in the air*

A picture is worth a thousand words...
A fan of the blog emailed me this picture, thanks Kim!!
I have no idea where this picture originated from...Pictures like this make me wonder...I wonder where this pic was taken...who are these women and what type of career did they have...when was this picture taken...how old are these ladies...what is their story??? These ladies are classic beauties...I love those old swimsuits, they are still sexy without being raunchy...I love looking at old photos...I guess that is why I take so many pictures...one day when I'm gone on to Glory, my pictures will live on!! I really wish I had access to my grandparents old pictures....know your history yall..
If you'd like to write me or send images, my email addy is michelle@curvyecocentric.com

Learning about me...through photos.
Recently I was able to sit down with my Aunt and shoot the breeze...She told me how much of a ham I was as a little girl (I STILL AM! LOL). We discussed childhood back in the day and how much things have changed over the years. It was not a planned visit but I enjoyed myself so much learning about myself, through history. She Blessed me with a CD with old images of my Grandparents, my mother, aunts and uncles. If only I could have spent more time talking with my grandparents before they passed on my Dad's side. I think its so important to pull up a chair and chop it up with the elders of your family. Its so much wisdom to be shared...I also learned about our family health history. You'd be surprised to find out how much in common you have with Big Mama and Paw Paw. Give them their flowers while they can see it. Celebrate you ancestors and where you came from.
