Dear Afrikan Girl, It's almost Friday! Yay! Yay!

Let’s talk about Chokers, a.k.a “dog collars”.

According to Self.com, these  necklaces were once
considered silly accessories like fanny packs and jelly shoes .

Chokers have always "stood for something".

This Buzzfeed.com article shows how they how

symbolic they've been; (at different historical periods),

representing everything from revolutionaries, royalty, ballerinas,

wealth and even "kept women" at one point. Souba!

They soon became a trend with the rise to fame of the "pentagram choker"

from epic Wiccan-friendly movies like The Craft, Practical Magic,

starring Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock; Eve's Bayou

starring Samuel L Jackson, and eventually, the mega famous Harry Potter, and Twilight series.

This once S&M emblem has become the daring stylist’s ris·qué

way of adding edge to the sultry looks of their celeb clientele

like Kendall Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Serayah, & Riri.
