This woman is batshit insane and I love her for it. She owns it.

Holy 'fro.

She rocks it, though.

Tee hee! Y'all are soooooo punny!

Love her shoes.

I pray for her sanity.
If she goes awol.
R&B just might be a dead art form.

Can't you take me to...crazytown? (Bowm-bowm-bowm) Can't you take me to...crazytown? (Bowm-bowm-bowm)

Love. Her. Love the new jam "Honey" too. Can't wait for the album next month!

She can rock just about anything. I do miss the headwraps quite a bit though.

She is supa-fly.

love the jam. not the do. bad move badu. bad move.

i wonder what's in the cup?

Dang, that is a dramatic fro. If she lost the silly specs, she'd look flat-out hot and not 'hot clown'.

Can someone bottle her and let me keep her in my pocket? A little drop of whatever she's having would keep me going all day. VH1 Soul did a block of her videos the other night around 3 AM, I was blown away at her versatility (in clothing and hair-do's).

@knitsandwich: Foor-shoor.

DA-YUM! Rock it, sista!

Gah. Even though I'm a white woman, I covet that lady's awesome 'fro. (Hey, we want fabulous hair too!!)

she fucking rocks and I won't hear anything different.

I see she's got her ankh on.

Go on with your bad self, Ms. Badu. She is every shade of awesome - and her live shows rock.

Whenever I have a scarf on, I end up wrapping it around my head and asking my husband if I look like Erykah Badu. He smiles sweetly and lies that I do. No kidding, I did it this weekend.

Woot! I helped her when I worked retail once. The smell of weed was heady and palpable! She was super nice and laid back, of course. Maybe it was just the contact high...

I so remember when Eryah's fro fell off on DAVE CHAPPELLE'S BLOCK PARTY, funnies thing ever. Classic moment beside the short come back of the fugees.

By far my favorite entertainer. She is really holding it down, and has been making groundbreaking music for 10+ years. For those of you not familiar, give a few of her discs a spin. You won't regret it. Erykah = LOVE!

Oh, and of course she looks great here.

time to youtube all her videos ..thanks for reminding me

Good thing she doesn't work at Glamour! That "ethnic" look is a glamour don't, as we've all learned.

@misssgolightly: P.S. Sarcasm!!! Don't axe me!!!

What is up with that tiny strap near the toe of her platform pump? It looks like a little belt around her foot, surely it's not part of the shoe(?)

In other news, I love me some Badu. 'Bag Lady' is so chill to listen to when I need to unwind. And in my house, a little Badu goes well with the Chappelle.

Where has she been? Loves it!

@warmaiden: Have fro. Thank Jeebus it's getting straighter as it grays. Like havin a sheep on yr haid whe it's humid.

That said: this def splains the turbans.

You said you'd take me to Wu-Tang, daddy - so I braided my hair!

@misssgolightly: ha ha ha. she should try to look more professional, hair wise.

just kidding i would do anything for this woman. i adore her and think she is hot hot like this, not hot clown. look at those shoes! those lips! and remember: she wins in the sanity contest with lauryn hill.

Love her and everything she does! She could walk out the house wearing a dress made of puppies and kittens and I would still find a way to excuse her. Will be downloading her album the day it drops.

lovin the hair ... the glasses: not so much. i bet from the back she looks like a giant microphone.

Whoooaaa!! *standing up, applauding*

Didn't anyone see Dave Chapelle's "Block Party"? Hopefully its not a windy day.

She has a beautiful face-- she doesn't need an afro that blocks the beauty...

same down south maybe? That would be impressive!

oh god, kickass shoes!

Oh loves me some Badu

Rock the fuck on Erykah.

@thatsonebadass: NO! it's fake? You just wrecked my dreams and hair ambitions

No, don't tell me it's fake! I'm a white chick, too--but I WANT THAT HAIR!

I can't wait until feb 26th! I freaking love HONEY!

Well, I think I know where I lost my kite.

@vangie: then buy some! Not hatin', just statin' that the hair wasn't so much styled as purchased. Still love her, though!

You'd be harried too if you were still trying to get Tyrone on the phone to get that skeeze's shit out your house.

But man, here she's like the diva of the Black Panthers! Loves that 'fro.

New album! Love! So happy. I listened to Mama's Gun until I could recite it, and listen to WW Underground when I can't sleep, even though everyone hated it when it came out.

Ever since Lauryn Hill degenerated into weird MySpace wars with one of the Marley offspring and random espousing of white people hated, Erykah's like my one neo-soul friend...

@the.bleach: I freakin LOVE Erykah Badu, and am prone to blasting "Penitentiary PHilosophy" at will. She's gorgeous too.

You know I have to give Badu props for the hair that says fuck you to your standards of beauty. Is it better or worse that underneath it she's very pretty? I say better.

"take THAT, Amy Winehouse!"

So that is where i left my merkin!

"You better pick your afro baby/Because it's flat on one side"

LOVE her. It's been too long a wait for new tunage.

My god, that is amazing. As a woman of scandinavian descent, it would be my fantasy to have 1/6 of her hair.

The best thing about this hair is that it's a wig (watch Dave Chapelle's Block Party, you'll see). It's not like she's all "I'm going au natural and embracing my kinky hair," but she's like "I want the biggest, batshittiest fro in existence, make it to fit my head."

I hope no one at Glamour saw that one...

Shoot, I love the 'fro. I wish mine looked as good as Erykah's. My fro looks like some damn Marcia Clark circa the OJ Trial.

@stacyinbean: That is the only horrible thing about DirecTv, no vh1 Soul. I could use a Baduizm at 3 am.

Y'all better watch out, you know she's got razor blades hid in that 'fro.

@homeslice:
wahahahahahahahaha!
(i´m allowed to laugh about that; i need a lawnmower down there.)

I asked yesterday for more pictorial representation of natural black lady's hair and Jezebel REALLY delivered!

Love her. She looks fabulous. I can't wait for her album. Is it out? I knew she had one coming in 08 but I didn't hear when.

Those are YSL shoes that I was saving up for by eating non-organic foods. I didn't get it because according to YSL and Pilati, black women don't look good in their things. Well, black models but I'm guessing regular black women
