Fashion Truths

♦Very few people can wear pink eyeshadow. But many do, and do it wrong. Girls, it makes you look tired.
♦Blunt bangs? ...proceed with caution.
♦The Minogue sisters scare me. So does Hillary Duff.
♦I suspect Linda Evangelista to be a man. And Mischa Barton to be a fool.
♦I think hair extensions are tacky.
♦I'm addicted to hair magazines, but always fell ripped off after I buy one. There are usually only 8 good haircuts out of 300 & even the "artistic" ones aren't attractive or appealing in any way.
♦British hair mags are full of ugly people.
♦American hair mags are full of ugly hair and makeup.
♦I think the biggest downfall of the recent Pride and Prejudice movie was the absolutely terrible hair and makeup. The lack of Colin Firth is a given.
♦Hair stylists here are incompetent.
♦I predict that short hair is coming back with a vengeance.
♦If I hear the word "boho" one more time, I'm gonna lose my mind.
♦If I see the Olson twins in one more garbage bag, I'm scheduling an intervention. Why hasn't anyone called "What Not to Wear" on them? Fire your tailor girls! Your clothes are supposed to fit!
♦I'm thinking of opening a fashion rehab clinic.
♦If one more hairstylist offers to "brighten" me up with a $75 generic blonde weave, I'm taking her license and feeding it to my cat. Or better yet, my gigantic fish.
♦When I decide to cut all my hair, I have haircuts picked out for every stage of length and I plan to work my way up.

It's been over a month!!!

So... I really miss blogging. But I'm internet-less and when I do borrow someone else's computer, I never have the time I need to write what I want. So I just wanted to say hello. And that I'm still alive. And that I miss my friends. But that I still love my job. And I got to sit with a lady yesterday for an hour and talk about her experiences and goals and it completely recommitted me to the cause. And then I saw a show on PBS about trafficked women. And I cried. Mightily. Because I'm sick and tired of women having to suffer so much. And in April I'm going to walk to end domestic violence and I'll post lots of information here when I get it. Because I'm going to have a web page where I'll be collecting pledge money that's going toward local shelters and everyone who reads my blog can donate! I've got to go... but I love you all and I'll write again soon!!!
