"Afro Fairies" Stephanie & Star

June 26, 2014 by onfranklin&main in Street Portraits

Stephanie & Star Stephanie: "She was the baby and nobody did anything for her birthday so I took her to get a tattoo when I got back from the service."

Star: "We wanted a fairy. We got matching tattoos."

Stephanie: "You know, like an angel on one side and a devil on another."

Star: "Except we got an Afro on her to be ethnic."

Star, a hairstylist, and her sister Stephanie moved to Chapel Hill from Durham nearly 10 years ago. They live together and are best friends "forever." I remark how wonderful it must be to have your sister as your best friend. Star adds "AND my dad has like 15 kids!"
