Napoleon was Black
Unfortunately, this post is going to lose something in the description as I didn't have my camera or my phone on me either time it happened. But seeing me attempt to describe the visual should hopefully be equally as funny.
This blog requires a bit of imagination as well as a bit of an early description to build it up.
Do you remember Princess Lea from Star Wars? Her hair got into that awesome bun shape
because she used real buns under her hair to hold them into place. Keep that image in the back of your head.
Imagine if you will: A very attractive black woman. Not Tyra attractive, but pretty nontheless. She is well spoken, sharp dresser, very personable.
Now imagine if you will: Take a hand towel from your powder room. Roll it up to the thickness of a paper-towel dispenser.
Now combine these images. Take a very attractive woman with a good sense of style. Next take rolled up towel and curve it around the top of her head from ear to ear. Now cover towel with hair in a manner similar to Princess Lea.
Now I'm not sure if there is actually a towel in there. I'm doubtful, as she sported this look today and yesterday, but otherwise, you have the image.
If you look at her from the front, you would swear she was a darker skinned version of Napoleon's hat. Now what did you imagine? Does she look something like this?

If yes, then hopefully I did well and I can totally make money as a caricature portrait describer.
But if I wasn't close, you totally have to give me props for finding a picture where GW's face is placed over the original face of the world's first power-hungry dictator. I totally wasn't expecting that, but what a great bonus! To find out who created this wonder masterpiece, go here.
