The last time my skin started looking lousy, I got it in my head that I needed to buy some black soap. I don’t know if I saw Annie Hall* one too may times in my youth or what, but over the summer I found myself trolling health food stores looking for black soap. I found some, but I just couldn’t bring myself to spend eight dollars on a piece of soap the size of a walnut. Happily, on one of our trips to the Yabba Pot, I discovered that they sell a great big bar of black soap for just a couple of dollars. I’ve been using it for a few weeks, and while I may not actually have a nubian heritage, Nubian Heritage black soap is doing wonders… for my complexion.

* ALVY Honey, there's a spider in your bathroomthe size of a Buick.
He walks into the bathroom, Annie looking after him.
ANNIE Well, okay. Oooh.
Alvy stands in the middle of the bathroom, tennis racquet inone band, rolled magazine in the other. He looks over atthe shelf above the sink and picks up a small container.He holds it out, shouting off screen to Annie.
ALVY Hey, what is this? You got black soap? ANNIE (Off screen)It's for my complexion.
“what’s a nubian?”
