It goes back much further than that.
It goes back at least to Asimov's 1953 The Caves of Steel, including the storyline of the human cop who doesn't trust his robot partner.
You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
But this time, the robot is black! Or whatever Michael Ealy is, besides lovely.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Would someone like to research hairstyles for me? (Chorus of NOOOO.)
Chorus of What?!
With your tight curls, Zen, I'd check black hairstyles for looks.
I like this look with the short bangs.
This is a very casual but cute look.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So that's the catch. I think I mention Verizon offered me a cheaper service plan? Turns out that excludes my beloved Personal Hotspot, which the guy who called me certainly did not mention. Chatting with a Verizon rep to try to add it back to my plan, she tells me I can't. Not it will cost a bunch of money or lose my previous savings, just I can't. Not pleased.

Sometimes the trick that gets dried paint out works: rub olive oil into your hair, then shampoo. Otherwise, the only thing that dissolves that stuff is acetone.
Oooh thanks. I am already working the acetone. Well, nail polish remover with acetone in it.

Ginger, thank you. The olive oil is working like a charm, and it much less nasty smelling than the acetone. (Not to mention I am having a strange sense memory of a Greek restaurant in Vancouver.) You are a fount of wonderfully useful information!

Ouch, spray foam in hair sounds bad! Good luck with the nail polish remover.
Those uniforms are horrible. Wow.
I now think, in addition to all the other things you don't think about them doing, that celebrities are never working with just their natural hair.
Since I found out Juliana Margulies wears wigs on Good Wife, my feeling that all of celebrity beauty is an unattainable ideal is only strengthened. My hair will never look like that because it is not a wig. Hrmph.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
With your tight curls, Zen, I'd check black hairstyles for looks.
Yeah...but my hair doesn't look like that, even short. I don't get the ringlets in the front, there it's a looser spiral curl.

Mostly I'm a person who's gotten a lot of paint and spray foam in my hair.

Zen, image google for curly sideswept bangs or something?
I was googling and found this,but can't decide if it's that I want my hair to look like that, or I just want to look like her! Or both.
