Planking and Slavery Related??

The entire world including some celebrities have gone crazy with this new/old Planking craze. While planking is said to be a game originated in the European area where you lay flat down with your arms beside you and pile up as many people on top in many different ways, some have found that it goes all the way back to the slave ships. Yes it's true Slave Planks existed and it is how the slaves were all fit into the ships. They lay side by side with their hands to their sides and had to endure not having restrooms or being able to move. Many of them had to use it on themselves, hence getting fecies on everyone else. The planks were actually what the slaves had to lie on in order to fit as many of them in the ships as possible.

Plank Collars

A plank collar is used on slave benches. It is a heavy wooden plank with five semicircular openings, when the plank is lifted it provides holding collars for five slaves. The plank is then chained down. The primary holding arrangement for women on the benches, however, is not chains. Each place on the b

ench is fitted with ankle and wrist stocks, and for each bench there is a plank collar, a plank which opens horizontally, each half of which contains five matching, semicircular openings, which, when it is set on pinions, closed, and chained in place, provides five sturdy, wooden enclosures for the throats of women. The plank is thick and thus the girls's chins are held high. The plank is further reinforced between each girl with a narrowly curved iron band, the open ends of which are pierced; this is slid tight in its slots, in its metal retainers, about the boards, and secured in place with a four-inch metal pin, which may or may not had to be locked in place.

This detail from a diagram of a slave ship shows how captured Africans were stowed for shipment to markets in the New World. Unclothed, underfed, and forced to lie on hard planking in unhygienic conditions, many failed to survive the transatlantic voyage.

This is why you can't just run with any new trend that you see......you never know where the shit came from.

Fragrance: Bond Cologne

I shared with you guys that I love a man with a mean watch game. But I also love a man that smells good! I think I have become obsessed with expensive fragrances, because I have a quite few myself. One that I've gotten addicted to though is Bond No. 9. There are several different ones, so you'd have to pick the one that suits you. I personally picked out Andy Warhol "Success is a job." for my boo boo, because it suited his hustle and it smells soooo good! I have the Saks 5th Ave Bond for women, myself. It can be purchased at your local Saks 5th Avenue, http://saks.com/ Belladonn Day Spa in New Orleans on Magazine Street or at http://www.bondno9.com/
