Side-eye of the week: Foolishness at its best…
…check this ad: I haven’t done a side-eye of the week in a few weeks. This morning, I was going through a newsletter that I get and I saw this ad. I shook my head with disgust. “Enjoy the natural look with Lace Front Wigs!” “Enhancing Your Natural Beauty” Tell me, how can glueing hair…

The author, a senior writer at Newsweek who I assume is a Black woman, is concerned about the condition of…
