When I say I’m growing my hair out, my hair takes the part about “out” very seriously. I look like a brown dandelion went wrong.  It’s like a lion’s mane right now: wild, coarse, tawny. It’s hard to dry this sort of hair when it’s wet, and when it does dry it is very dry.

 

I can’t wait until it finally starts weighing itself down. Then I will look like a haystack.*

 

So why am I growing it out?

 

Well, for one thing, I AM HAVING SNOOD LUST.

 

I turned on the TV today and beheld, on what the Comcast guide told me was Charmed** a woman rocking the snood.  And I was all like Hell yeah. Why are snoods not in fashion?  This is a gross oversight of fashion, the same one that has gotten rid of top hats, fedoras, and spats.*** And so I am going to embark upon a one-man campaign to bring back the snood.

 

Unless, you know, you guys want to join me.  Anyone else, who’s got long hair right now, interested in snooding it up outside the Renaissance festivals?  I say we sweep the nation! Who’s with me?

 

I’ll be sitting here, waiting for my hair to grow.  Shouldn’t take too long. My hair may be dry, but it sprouts ridiculously fast.  I’ll be on top of this by the time my birthday rolls around.

 

Here’s another snood that was apparently on the show.  Gah. Is this not the most amazing thing you’ve ever seen?

 

 

*Why are 2/3 of my similes better-suited for blond hair?

 

**Once again a lot of oddly-proportioned dwarves there.  Must suck to be an achondroplasic actor.  Is there any show out there that casts them as human beings?

 

***Yes, I realize my fashion sense is awful.  It’s not just me. My sister and I have arguments over whether top hats or fedoras are sexier.  We switch sides frequently.
