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....

Well, yeah.

Huh.

That makes sense. Jesse is wise.

Does anybody care anymore what Phyllis Schlafly thinks? I mean, if I post something she wrote, the reaction will be laughter, not outrage, right?

Anyway, with that assumption in mind - from Kos (because I'm not going to link directly to her):

Phyllis Schlafly dishes out a whole lotta crazy on why John McCain lost those feminist-created, single women voters:

The women who cast off husbands look to Big Brother Government to support them. They vote for the party that promises more benefits from the Welfare State...

...the feminists achieved unilateral divorce on demand from state legislatures, unilateral abortion on demand from the courts, and unilateral control over children in the welfare class by taxpayer handouts to women that made husbands and fathers unnecessary.

The feminists have continued their campaign against marriage through Joe Biden's favorite legislation, the Violence Against Women Act, which provides a billion dollars a year to feminist centers to promote divorce and oppose reconciliation.

It must be so confusing to be a woman and a misogynist.

Has she gotten more extreme?

Abbreviated Pundit Round-Up

I used to not change after work, but since acquiring the cat I've been getting in the habit.

I always change into comfortable clothes after work because I'm either about to cook, walk the dog or work out. So many of my work clothes are things that I don't wash or dry clean every time I wear them that I like to get them safely back on the hanger before someone walks across me with muddy paws.

I generally don't care if I have cat hair on me. (Maybe I just got too spoiled when I had a Devon Rex.)

But since my boss brings his dog to work, I'll often come home with dog hair all over my pants, so I figure everything balances out anyway.
