Between a karate seminar yesterday and walking around a street fair today, my foot is very upset with me. R.I.C.E in process. Along with a couple of self pity tears. I'm tired of being broken.
Angel: You're lying. Gwen: I'm fibbing. It's lying, only classier.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I went to an older folks church service this morning and was looking at all the ladies' dyed and curled hair and was wondering what our generation's old lady hair will look like.
I was thinking about this very issue recently, but mostly from a cartoonist's POV. What is the signifier for old lady hair goign to be? Right now in SF it's pretty much all Judi Dench pixie cuts and bobs. Also, older people seem to be investing in expensive running shoes that never get very worn so they always look shiny new.
I was also trying to figure out what the cartoon silhouette for the Oughts would look like. I guess the 90s is now signaled by flannel/Grunge.

Skinny pants and shitty fedoras? Whatever those hats are?
I'm just glad that I'm not living on Long Island anymore and subjected to those matching velour track suits. No, honey, they don't match your french pedicure.

Dude, Kim Kardashian gave birth and it was fully 36 hours before I heard about it, and that was even by mistake (sidebar article in another article I followed a link to). Maybe civilization isn;t ending after all!

Interesting point about the haircut, ita. I actually have seen and met white and Asian women with shaved heads, but it's not the usual, that's for sure.
Did I share the story here about seeing a young woman with a shaved head in the 80s and smiling at her and thinking "wow, so does every white girl who cuts off all her hair look like Sinead O'Connor?" and then realizing, oh! that's Sinead O'Connor.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's fantastic.

Back in the 80s I saw a girl with a shaved head hanging out with her buddies with spikes and mohawks etc. I was studying the shape of her head, and she strutted up and said, "What are you staring at?" I smiled at her and said, "You have a lovely skull." She blinked and hurried back to her friends, whispered to them, they gave me antsy looks, and scurried away.
Really, it was perfectly shaped. OK, so Silence of the Lambs had come out the year before, so what?
