::Snippets:: Seriously, though

Does anyone else find it disconcerting that, according to the fashion industry, people have to be either size 0-2 ("normal" (?)) or size 12+ (plus-size)? What about sizes 4-10? Are designers just bad at math?

::Snippets:: Pardon my French...

Why does society have to make it so damn hard to follow our dreams?

::Snippets:: But I always wish there was

I hate to break it to you, but there is no magic word.

This is the kind of thing YouTube recommends for me

Based on my previously viewed videos:



But really, how awesome is that?

...then I remember I'm much cooler now.

::Snippets:: I mean, why did you THINK I was so attractive?

For the record (a rant)

"Wavy hair" does not mean taking some girl with straight hair and adding some kinky, curling-iron "waves."

I'm so sick of never being able to find a decent picture of a person with my hair type (a.k.a. truly, genetically-created wavy hair).

Any time I try to look up wavy hair, I get something like this:
(via Marie Claire, the first search engine result this time around)

This girl does NOT have wavy hair. She has kinky hair. She has almost-straight hair that someone scrunched with some product to make it look "wavy."

THIS is wavy hair:
(it's also a highly edited picture of me, but try to ignore that part).

Real wavy hair is wild, crazy, and unruly. It's a blessing (if that's what you call everyone fawning over your hair because, "it's natural!?") and a curse (wave hair is not cool in middle school, and it takes a long time to straighten).

So, I've pretty much lost my train of thought now, and I have no idea what my point was going to be. What started out as a short post about the injustice of the lack of photo-resources for wavy-maned folks like me turned into a full on rant.

Any way, I guess my point is, I'm pretty much on my own when it comes to how to cut and style my hair, because the fashion/hair world has left me high and dry.

On a hair-related note, have you ever noticed how all hairstyles in "hairstyle" magazines look like they're from the late 90's or early 2000s? Seriously, next time you're near a magazine section, pick up one about hairstyles, and I guarantee, 90% will be some variation of the Kate Gosselin reverse mullet. No lie.

I was never much of a fan of America's Funniest Home videos. However, I think I might have enjoyed it more if people had written songs to go with the videos. Enjoy:



Seriously, how freaked out must that little girl be when all those raccoons are chasing her?

::Snippets:: Oh, I didn't know we were talking about you

It bugs me when people say "well I wouldn't do it that way." Apparently, this other person would, so in the future, you should probably try to remember that the entire world is not made up of your clones.
