First of all, YES, these are all pictures of me
up here.  Why?  Can I be honest?  Okay, I
think that I am so wonderfully beautiful here!!
Outside of the hair that hardly ever saw a
comb, look at me!! While living in Brazil I was
happy, peaceful and alive.  There was nothing
bothering me, I was all alone with the sun and
sea and millions of people who didn't know
how brilliant I thought I was or was not, and I
was doing great. I still look at these pictures
today to remember what I look like.  Before I
cut my hair (which has now grown even more
than before) I was the girl with the long hair.  
When it got chopped off, I saw myself and what
Donniee really looked like, not Darlene or
those other people I never said I wanted to be.
 For the first time ever, wherever I went, I
presented ME, the Donniee I was to myself but
could never get around my hair.
BRAZIL
My favorite place on earth
I love beautiful things.  To me
there is nothing more beautiful
than people.  The people of Bahia,
Brazil, are outrageously beautiful.  
I never got enough looking at the
faces, the hair, the walk, or the
smile of the people.  And the
children?  Take a look for yourself.
