Just to verify, we're all talking about this, right?

Because I have never seen a man with that kind of braid.
This kind?

Yes, I have seen on men. But not french braids.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've seen the first one on black men, but it's been two, not one.

I guess when you're a rich, immortal creature of the night that can hypnotize people, you never have to worry about anyone pointing at your hairstyle and laughing

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I've seen the first one, as Hec notes, all over the Ren Faire. Particularly among the Scotsmen. Away from Faire, I've only ever seen the second.

It's kind of telling that the emotionally healthiest character in the series is a porn-star/stripper werewolf.
Plus Jason will tell Anita off and she'll accept it.
From what I've seen on other boards, Richard represents LKH's husband from whom she had a nasty divorce. I'm not sure which of Anita's current harem is supposed to be her new guy.

Back when I had long hair, I useta do the first one occasionally. More involved than I usually like to do, though. Now I'm just superlazy and keep my hair short so I don't have to bother with it.
So, yeah, there are a few freaks who occasionally do the french braid thing in public.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I've seen it. There was one guy at a mall I used to work at - When his hair was braided it was down to his ass. and the braid was very thick . silver blond hair. and he was always in kakhi's and oxford cloth shirt. The mix of conventional with the not so conventional...Wait , what thread am I in?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

And as I think someone mentioned, I've seen Drew in a french braid, and it didn't look half bad. And by that I mean porn.

Oh ... dear. I've discovered the problem with casually mentioning that I read vampire novels to one of my co-workers. She is now loaning me books. Which, usually, I'd be all for. But I suspect her taste in supernatural fiction is not mine. I found Wolf at the Door sitting on my desk this morning. The back cover blub header says (in yellow and all caps) "When danger meets desire ..."
Who do I blame for the proliferation of the paranormal/supernatural romance genre? Because I've read very few that don't make me roll my eyes.
