i love braids, especially french braids & so many variations on them. my first braid post was The Triumph of Minerva frescoes.

and carrying on the french braid tradition with a bit of grit and bling and just as much femininity- the Sopranos’ Adriana {Drea deMatteo}.

maybe with a bit too much grit here. this is the episode where she was in the car crash. anyway, i miss her character.

p.s. are french braids actually french? where do they come from? is this a horse thing? i mean have you seen what they do to showhorses tails? which i love too actually.
