  • I loved the comment at 8:37. Dominant (real) genetic traits are beautiful. Black colored hair has always been attractive, because it has the highest reflective gloss. Skin with melanin in it, be it yellow, brown to dark chocolate has the most alluring glow to it, yet not having these traits are "beautiful"? What is wrong that that picture of perception? People that don't have them find them attractive, but they aren't going to openly admit that most of the time; misery loves company. Love self.

  • Thank you for your comments! They really mean a lot to me. Please, share this video with as many people as you can, even if it means nothing to them, maybe it will speak to someone

  • I love running my fingers through her long black silky hair,it's all soft and luxurious and i indulged myself in the sweet scent that every strands gave off,as i toyed with them and twirled them around my index finger and bringing them up close to my nose and i take a deep breath,a sigh of relieve.She's mine all mine,my Asian dolls,my all,my oxygen..;))))))

  • Be true to yourself baby,you already know " ME LOVE YOU LONG TIME " just as you are..

  • I can see through people,the good,the bad and the ugly.It scared the sht out of me.I tend to gravitate to those who are true to themselves.People who's mind are well arranged,who know the important of self love,self respect and a sense of personal identity.Never mind the flowers,arrange your mind Yoko !!

  • It's amazing to see that African and Asian Americans share some of the same struggles when it comes to society's standard of beauty. Thank you for this video.

    Blue Scholars :)
