I'm gonna go ahead and issue some double taps...part deux

Ok Kids, I feel like (with the prompting of my sis!) that the neuvo rash of Set-it-Off, straight back, a la Cleo braids need to be called out.
Here we go kids. My pointer finger is ready! Double taps go to:

Ciara. it was only thinking out of the box for the album cover, OK boo? Never mind that the "double edition" was really the same album cover with those low budget graphics in a different color. Rocking the same hairstyle in public is unacceptable.

Even if it is Z100. That outfit would have looked GREAT if your Yacky 1B was done.

And let's not even get started on:

Kim, we know you want to be "down" with your FYONE boyfriend Reggie. But, after watching Keeping up with the Kardashians (my secret addiction), he's not "down" with us. So let it go? K, hun? And J. Holliday's straight backs look better than yours anyway.

And the H.A.M. everyone hates to love:

*Side eye*

Just why Tyra? Why are you always on some stupid quest to be "real." So far on your show, you're proven your breasts are "real," the picture they took of your retired model self was "real", and now, you're "real" for the Obama movement for wearing braids on TV?!

It's just not OK!

Now, please, let me explain that I love braids. Micros are so chick, box braids a little more common folk but suitable none the less. And I like the side swept cornrows into a ponytail or a bun. But the straight back movement is best reserved for overnight wear, children under the age of 11, men, and mug shots.

Even Alicia Keys, QUEEN of the braid movement, let it go.
And she didn't even have the jail-inspired straight backs!

So a double tap to you all. Let's pray I don't have to do anymore anytime soon!
