MsBelle, may I tag?

too many people in one place who look the same scare me. I keep waiting for the bell to go off, so they'll all know when to take the pills.

She has a NMBC hoodie.

One crown braid, when my hair's long enough, requires no pins. Just a hair tie. And then I weave the ends into the braid, and it lasts for days.

Time to confess -- I own one of those sunggly things. There will be no pictures - EVER. But even though I don't get cold very often -- when I do it takes me hours and hours to get warm. and they are really nice to wear when you need some extra comfort.

Wait, how do you weave the ends into the braid? I have braid end issues. When I have long hair, that is.

Right now I have the worst hair ever from the growing out of the bad emo cut over the summer. But I'm miserable from looking for hairdressers. I'm half inclined to just cut it myself so that I can just say I cut it myself when I go in, and not have to explain about the previous cut.

I tend to have very specific ideas about my hair, but the ideas and the execution are separate things. But I badly, badly need it cut and I don't know what to do with it.

If you object to inside pants, you'll love me. I don't have a between work clothes and pajamas wardrobe; I just wear my pajamas to work. Admittedly that's only down the hallway and doesn't count as Outside, but I rarely get dressed if I'm not going into the field. Why should I? Putative Tim Gunn can kiss my yoga pants clad ass.

"I think there is a gay and secular fascism in this country that wants to impose its will on the rest of us, is prepared to use violence, to use harassment. I think it is prepared to use the government if it can get control of it. I think that it is a very dangerous threat to anybody who believes in traditional religion," - Newt Gingrich, referring to the 18,000 married couples just forced apart after a Mormon-funded campaign against equal rights in California.

Newt, I'm quite certain none of them want to marry you. Stop worrying.

I've been sporting an angled bob for eons. Is it wrong of me to be cranky at Ms. Posh for running the look in to the ground?

I tend to grow it long so I can wear it up in elaborate 'dos.

I wish I could put mine up in elaborate 'dos. It's just the combo of thick, mostly straight, yet somewhat fine that adds up to "Not staying up in any kind of style without enough product to produce a hole in the ozone with your name on it." I am growing it out though. Probably to at least shoulder length. Maybe longer. We'll see.

No. Esp. 'cause you rock it harder.

After reading all the Inside Pants posts (and the faux [?] scorn from Hec), I've come to the conclusion that Hec is really Fernando from 1980s Saturday Night Live. ("It is better to look good than to feel good.")

My hair is fucking LONG (like shoulder length), to appease The Boy, because he's one of Those Guys who likes long hair on women regardless of whether the style looks like ass or not. They're just happy to see hair hair hair hair hair. WTF *is* that???

And I hate that I'm the kind of woman who will grow her hair to appease a man. (Or cut it for the same reason. IJS.) I think I have to burn my feminist membership card now.

And if I cut it to make *me* happy, he'll grumble, and I'll have to smack him and remind him that MY hair is not HIS possession.

(But if I cut my hair, I'm afraid he'll grow his long in retaliation. And I've seen pictures -- long hair is NOT attractive on him, yet he thinks it is. Oh dear god. There seriously are no words.)

(And, uh, to be totally honest, I've probably mostly let my hair grow because my -- what do you call it? -- mood disorder has me in a place where I don't give a shit about how I look, and longer hair means ponytail. Maybe it's time for antidepressants and a haircut.)

ZOMG Y'ALL.

Three HUNDRED posts later, and you're still talking about INSIDE PANTS??!!?!?!!!INTERROBANG???!!?!?!

I stay in my work clothes only if I'm expecting to see someone outside my immediate family in between getting home and bedtime. Otherwise it's straight into my red flannel moose-print pants. Work pants are less conducive to romping on the floor with a toddler.

And like Burrell, I wore a bra to bed while I was in the early days of breastfeeding. (Until my mother, having nursed 4 children, told me that they'd hurt a lot less if I let them air dry. Which turned out to be the single best piece of breastfeeding advice anyone ever gave me.)

My hair is in an annoying phase right now because I'm growing it out. It's just long enough that I can't put it up and the curls are sticking out at truly bizarre angles. When it gets a little longer the weight will hold them down, but that's still at least a few months away.

Ha! That was pretty much my reaction. And I mostly change when I get home to try to keep work clothes free of cat hair.

Meh. I think it's kind of different in the context of a specific relationship. I mean, presumably you each do all kinds of things to make the other person happy, right?

I am currently annoyed that I still have a stupid headache from yesterday, but at least my sore throat isn't getting worse....
