Cheryl Lynn isn't quite sure who she is, but she's pretty sure of what she wants to be. A warrior woman. A bad-ass mamajama. Perhaps an earth goddess extraordinaire. She spends her days abusing keyboards and screaming at computer screens while she waits for her cult following to finally show up.

She changes her mind more often than extras in rap videos change thongs.

So, Immortal Iron Fist #5. Lots of action! And Luke, Misty, and Colleen! Yay! But tell me, does Luke still look like this?



So why does Misty still look like this?



Why is no one following the updated design Evans gave her? Why is she still wearing a hairstyle that I haven't seen except when looking at pictures taken of my aunt on the day of my parents' wedding? Can someone explain this to me? Because I've only come up with two answers:

1) No one knows what a modern natural hairstyle for a black woman should look like because who the fuck pays attention to what black women look like when there are actual desirable women who matter to be paid attention to?

2) Everyone knows what a modern natural hairstyle for a black woman should look like, but who wants to use that when old school hairstyles are just sooooo kitschy and hilarious? But we're going to give Luke and everyone else modern hairstyles, okay? Because they need to be taken seriously. Because they're actually important enough to have an updated look. Unlike Misty.

If there's a third option I'm just not noticing, then please let me know. Because options one and two make me feel pretty crappy, so I'd love for there to be a third one to choose from.

Y'know, I started this blog so I could have a place to vent and feel better about things when the world dragged me down, but I find myself getting more and more frustrated when I notice that I'm making the same statements over and over and nothing is fucking changing.

I get it. I finally get it. No more nagging. You don't want us here. We're not important to you. Not as characters, consumers or employees. I get it. Listen, we'll be over there doing our own thing, okay? Sorry about the confusion.
