Still Day 34: Media support for curly-haired girls

Please do not judge but I enjoy reading fashion magazines, including Glamour.*  Here is one of their bloggers' blog entry in favour of curly hair:

"So there's a funny thing about red carpets and Hollywood events in general: You see wavy hair, sure. But curly hair? Curly hair is a rare thing to spot. OK, you've got Taylor Swift—she wears hers with pride—and maybe a handful of others. And yesterday Emmy Rossum let hers out for all the world to see...

Well, not so much all the world but the people and photographers at the P.S. ARTS Bag Lunch Sponsored By Dior Beauty. And I appreciate it.


You see, it's not that only straight-haired ladies become famous. No, it's that most of the curlies blow out their coils for a few reasons. The first is that straighter styles often reflect more light, so they look shinier in pictures. The second is the frizz factor--easier to control when you blow-dry smooth. And the third is that you've got more hairstyle options if you're not working around curls.  But I'd argue that curls are an adorable hair option, and more Hollywood ladies should let theirs show. And therefore I'd like to take a sec to applaud Emmy for showing her spirals off yesterday. Bravo.

Have you ever noticed this before--that there isn't a lot of very curly hair on the red carpet? Are you a curly who wears hers with pride? Discuss."

Hi, it's me again.  Bravo to the Girls in the Beauty Department.**

*Because this seems to be the day for Seinfeld references, I include this bit of trivia.  Glamour was the magazine that George's mother caught him pleasuring himself to in the infamous masturbation episode aka "The Contest."  In addition to bringing masturbation to prime time television, it also introduced the following euphemisms for masturbation abstention: "Master of my domain"; "Lord of the Manor"; Queen of the Castle."  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkklW7VEBHA
