Too bad with her good looks she has to ruin it with fake color hair.. a poor example of a sellout woman trying to be something she will never be=A BLONDE.
she and all the other sellout "black women" of the entertainment media who are trying to fit in the wrong neighborhood, and forgetting their roots and the history of where they came from and how they got here.

Eve has to be careful with her choice of hair style as she has a funny-lookin face. Dont know why she wont wear her own hair anyway, when she first came out she had little to no hair and was proud to rock a short-cut. Now everything she wears on her head looks unnatural and unflattering on her cave0man looking face
