Look At This Fucking (Honestly We Couldn’t Even Think Of Anything, He’s Just Too Cute) Baby!™
AfricanCreature did this tutorial…I wouldn’t be able to conquer this myself but I LOVE that its wrapped instead of braided. Looks absolutely more natural. Anyone in NC (near Raleigh) know how to re-create this???!!!
this is gonna take hella long, kinda wish i decided to start tonight. gotta go stock the fridge since i won’t be leaving anytime soon.
A woman recently went to use a Kotex brand tampon and fortunately was a little clumsy getting it out of the packaging and discovered patches of mold growing all over the product that was seconds away from being inserted inside her. She wrote to the manufacturer and was horrified to discover that this is fairly common and received nothing more than a cookie cutter apology and some coupons to buy more of their products.
I urge anyone who uses this brand or other brands of tampons to pay closer attention when using or to perhaps consider switching to a different type of reusable product such as a Diva Cup or washable cloth liners. This is absolutely repulsive and although I no longer have periods, I felt I should inform my followers about this for their own health and safety.

The Dixie Cups - Iko Iko
“Iko Iko” is a much-covered New Orleans song that tells of a parade collision between two “tribes” of Mardi Gras Indians. The song, under the original title “Jock-A-Mo”, was written in 1953 by James “Sugar Boy” Crawford in New Orleans. The story tells of a “spy boy” or “spy dog” (i.e. a lookout for one band of Indians) encountering the “flag boy” or guidon carrier for another band. He threatens to set the flag on fire.
Crawford set phrases chanted by Mardi Gras Indians to music for the song. Crawford himself states that he has no idea what the words mean, and that he originally sang the phrase “Chock-a-mo”, but the title was misheard by Chess and Checkers Records president Leonard Chess, who misspelled it as “Jock-a-mo” for the record’s release.[1]
“Jock-a-mo” was the original version of the song “Iko Iko” recorded by the Dixie Cups in 1965. Their version came about by accident. They were in a New York City studio for a recording session when they began an impromptu version of “Iko Iko”, accompanied only by drumsticks on studio ashtrays.
i sang this all the time when i was a kid !
