Poor little rich girl. What price will she pay. Maybe in her next life she will come back as a European. There is nothing more beautiful than a natural African women, the envy of all others.

I think Eve is attractive, but I find it sad that she and most of these artists and black celebs have a problem with their own hair. These women look so fake that it makes me feel sorry for them. Obviously what they see in the mirror when they look at themselves is not pleasing to their eyes. Wake Up BLACK WOMEN! LOVE YOURSELF!
