When I was little I had white blonde hair, and was very, very pale, but I thought Jayne Kennedy was the most beautiful woman in the world. I wanted to look just like her. I saw AfroSheen commercials on TV during Soul Train, and I came to believe that if my mom would buy me some, I'd come out looking just like Jayne.
