Cree Summer and Lisa Bonet - The Pirate Sistahs

And speaking of nose rings, take a look at this baby ^-^:

You know, I've always been a big fan of Cree Summer's unique 

style, eclectic persona, and her enthusiasm for embracing her 

natural curls and coils even before embracing the natural was 

considered hip. So when I saw this video, I just had to post it.

Because I'm being completely honest here, since of course, 

being completely honest is a good thing, right? I honestly 

have no idea what this song is even about. But I ask you -  

is her hair fierce?? I mean, what? And is she working that 

nose rang?!? My goodness! 

Geez, just another reason for me to want one, ok. And 

Cree is older than me (not by much), but dang, look at that 

bod, for crying outloud. I'm sitting here thinking - Life just 

isn't fair, LOL - and my other thought is - why is my husband 

bending his eyeballs to try and see over my shoulder?? Hahahahaha!!

Oy, and look at this picture of Lisa Bonet!

My goodness - is she Hawt or what? This is who I want to be

when I grow up! No - seriously!!

 

Ok, I'm so sure that I'm 100 years late here, you all have 

probably seen thesepictures a thousand times over, but 

for me these are all new. Amazing!

And apparently, Cree Summer and Lisa Bonet have this 

fabulous friendship going -one that has withstood the test 

of time, starting back in the day when they were on the tv 

sitcom "A Different World".

What I find most interesting about these two - other than 

their unique style and artistic talents,is the bond that they 

share with each other, I like the idea of this ultimate sisterhood 

that supposedly only women can share should they choose to 

commit themselves to a dear friend. They call themselves the 

Pirate Sistahs. 

Unfortunately, this is also a commitment that I know can be 

very difficult for many women, because often times, once 

a man gets involved, the allegiance dissolves, and bond is 

lost. I'm just as guilty of this as so many others. I would 

love to be one of the lucky few to have a BFF, but life deals 

you a hand, and you've gotta play with what you've got. 

Have you ever had a really good friend - only to lose them 

when they met a guy? Why do you think this happens?

Oh - Here is their "PIRATE WOMANIFESTO":

Pirates move on the water. The element in which the primal feminine is at home. It seems that at sea, women have the home advantage. Women on board ships were either feared or regarded as bringers of luck. Pirate women were considered especially dangerous, and accepted as leaders at a time when women on land had been robbed of their rights and dignity. We pirates set sail for new shores into a world of adventures. Breaking out of structured obedience, preset orders and moral unities. We plunge into unpredictability, danger, excitement, dance, song and everything that strong, free, cheerful action implies. A pirate has developed her own kind of pirate life, determined by her self and no other. Under the Jolly Roger, the black sea robber's flag, pirates show what it means to live in a permanently actualizing process of individualization and liberation. The love, loyalty and friendship that we have found in our pirate sisterhood springs from nothing less than a serious attempt to find a form of life that can fulfill the piratical desire for truth and freedom. 

In truth, the first time I read this - I thought, "Wow, this is pretty cheesy":0/. 

I mean, initially, it reads like a pact that one might make with their 7th 

grade BFF, at a ritual weekend slumber party. 

But, after I thinking about this a bit, I began to see this as much more 

than just a prepubescent-like declaration of principles and intentions.

 But rather, a call to the inner kinship that makes women such divine 

and mysterious beings. I mean really, I've read it a few things, 

and I'm hard pressed to find anything in it that I don't really agree 

with:).  In fact, it actually sent me on a quest to find out more about 

this Pirate Sisterhood of which they speak. 

I was thinking - "Hey, I want to be a Pirate Sistah, too!"*pout*. 

Unfortunately though, I wasn't able to find much, the members 

that may have once congregated to discuss poems, life's lessons, 

and "bonding" have long since gone. Or at least, that's what appears 

to have happened. Oh well. Regardless of if their pirate sister thingy

worked or not, these two ladies still look fabulous, the hair, the body,

 the works. And I hope that they will continue to wow us with 

their gorgeous bohemian, Mother Earthly - kick ass - kind of style 

for many more years to come!!! 

Ciao!!
