We're coming to the close of another year and it's been a great year for BGLH :) I've had a blast doing this blog and meeting so many new and interesting people!

We're winding down here at BGLH and prepping for 2010 (yay!), so expect to see fewer posts in the next week and a half. But before we go we want to salute some of the most intriguing, interesting and inspirational characters we've had on BGLH this year.

Please vote for your favorites in the following categories, and use it as an opportunity to reflect on the AWESOME year we've had in natural hair!
