I've seen the Caprica ad but I'm not familiar with the Ralph Lauren ad. . . or at least, I don't remember it.
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Cash, I would be horribly tempted to say something like this the next time she brings it up:
"I really am sorry about your daughter's hair, but you did leave two three year old girls unsupervised for long enough for that to happen. They really aren't old enough to know better--that's why I would never leave them alone with craft supplies."

I saw a website a while ago that rated a whole ton of charities and nonprofits based on a bunch of factors, like how much money went to aid vs. administration, and some other stuff like that. Anybody know what site that was? There's a group that I want to look up.

ETA: Plei, do you think it would upset you if Lily cut her own hair?
Yes.
I don't think she would, because she's very attached to her hair, but yes, it would upset me greatly. Possibly not as upset as she'd be, though. She's really really attached to her hair.

Guidestar, BBB Wise Giving Alliance, or the one I don't like whose name I can't remember, but is probably what you're thinking of...

It's the one where the model looks strange because they PSed her waist so she looks like a big headded freak who shaved off her mid-section.
Because that Caprica ad had me thinking there should be more of her back, if the waist was going to look that small, then I got a closer look, and it just looks...wrong.

Thanks, Jesse. (Some people I sorta know are organizing a bake sale to raise money for Haiti, and I wanted to check out the group that the money is going to before committing to anything.)

Oh, or Charity Navigator -- I think they're the one I've had issue with in the past, but they make pretty pie charts and stuff.

If Lily's attached to it, that seems different to me. Less like projection/objectification, which bothers me. (I have personal issues about long-uncut hair and femininity/submission, too - my father preferred it, and my proud rebellion at age 12 was to go pixie cut.)
