FNN: RompHim, Fidget Spinners, Dry Shampoo
Good afternoon all
Well, here I am. This is the second time I have had to write this blog. My laptop fucking froze and it didn't save from draft! So here we go again.
The last blog I wrote I went on to talk about those hideous plastic trousers. The overpriced pieces of crap plastic that do nothing but make noise, most likely smell all plastic-y and look stupid. A gal on YouTube by the name of Emma Blackery has gone and tested them out for us. This is a link to her YouTube, have a giggle. If you think that video is funny then check out some of her other videos. If you have a YouTube account yourself, give her a like. Don't worry there will be a link that opens in a new window so you don't lose me!

Let me get into the next topic.
The RompHim. It's pretty much just a romper for men. It's not something new but the makers of the RompHim have made it seem as though the men's romper has never existed. Primarily it's something that is marketed towards women and it gained populatiry in the 50's but in the next decade, the swinging 60's, the romper became something that men could wear in the Summertime. Then again, a lot of strange trends happened between the 60's and 70's.
The romper has been featured in films and who better to sport a romper than Sean Connery in he 1964 film: Goldfinger. He was such a great Bond, him and Pierce Brosnan. Mmmmm.
It's not so bad I suppose, I mean if he wasn't wearing pants under that thing we might just see a tip slip. Not that I mind. It's Sean but now the romper has become some sort of new collegiate Summer trend for the Bro's and Hipsters of the world.
I find it hard to believe that on the KickStarter website the company that made these pastel wonder-fails has SOLD OUT of their product. What the fuck? How could something like this sell out? I took a quick look and these retail on the KickStarter for over 100$ I wouldn't pay that much for a bra let alone a romper. Sorry, RompHim. Anyways, Alexander McQueen has a plain black romper for men that retails for 920$. I'm sure at some point I'll be seeing these cringe worthy pieces of shit on the racks of local store such as Urban Planet and Stitches. I'm sure they'll be more afforadle as this "trend" sweeps through the stores like wildfire or some sort of horrible infectious disease that ensares our more suseptable youth. I really can't see anyone wearing these, then again I didn't think onesies for adults would get off the ground but it did and sold out in minutes.
I guess there is one bright side, hard to believe...I know, but at least a man can whip out his cock and have a piss where we as women have to pretty much take the damn thing off just to use the toilet. A five minute time span in the lou has now turned into an awkward hour long experience. I mean you have to take the whole damn thing off just to pee. JUST. TO. PEE.
Fuck that shit and burn the whole lot with fire. GAH!
Fidget Spinners. Heard of them? I'm sure you have, at some point. There's a lot of contriversey circulating the internet over this stupid piece of spinning plastic. Some people concider it a toy, others say it's a "tool" that aides with ADD/ADHD, anxiety, stress and things like that. Actually that's how it's marketed. For people who can't help but fidget. It's been a total nightmare for school teachers as they're distracting to the student with the spinner and those who don't and even the teacher. There's no actual scientific proof hat it does anything for people with ADD and the like. No proof that it helps anyone who fidgets either. I mean I fidget, I play with my ears and it's the most annoying thing in the world. I do it at home and at work and even in front of co-workers and customers even. Like I'm going to whip out a fidget spinner while I'm trying to tell someone about the Deck Restore. That would be distracting to them and super rude too. Like really, are you gonna pull one out during a board meeting?
In schools for the most part it'll just be a neat toy and a fad like Pogs and Pokemon/Digimon cards although the fidget spinnder is already being banned in school across America and I think in the UK as well. It'll cause issues like all fads do, bad trades and lost/stolen spinners and such.
There has even been a story on one of those stupid Mommy Blogs about how a little girl saved up her money to buy one. Her father, a teacher, bought one for her on Amazon. The little girl got to play with it for a bit before bed and placed it where she'd find it again to play with it the next day only to find it missing. The father had taken it to school with him to show his students without asking his daughter. He claims that she'd make a fuss over it. Ok, he could have bought his own for one instead of taking his daughter's spinner but I can totally see a divorce coming and resentment of a little girl.
Other stories say that children have chocken on the spinner components and even gotten themselves burned. Not sure how kids are getting burned but I can see them chocking. I mean Darwin's law sort of applies here but still, if your kid is smart enough to take a part a spinner and eat a ball bearing, then perhaps you shouldn't give them a spinner?
Then there's price, they range from like a 2$ piece of shit you can get in a dollar store or corner store and then the price can go up to 200$ for a products made out of metal instead of plastic. There are people who have too much time on their hands who have developed tricks you can do with your spinners. Wow, fully grown adults have to sit at a table figure out what you can do with your spinner so people won't get bored of it after two days. All the thing does is spin. That's it.
Here's the item in question:
This piece of shit plastic with ball bearings is the newest fucking craze. I just shake my head at it. I also shake my head at the fucking Mommy bloggers who swear by these items. Look, there's NO proof that this device, tool, toy, whatever you want to call it, actually does anything to help focus a child (or adult) and calm their nerves.
*Sighs* What's next? A string with a knot at the end of it that helps to make you feel happier?
Dry shampoo.
This stuff is great if you're in a real hurry and don't have time to wash your hair. If you're out and about and it's a really hot day and you need to make your hair lok a little less greasy, it works great. For me, if I have an early shift (7-3) I don't have time to shower. I'm not going to fucking get up at like 5AM just to wash my hair and leave the house by 6:30AM to get to work for 7AM. Ewww, no. But my hair looks icky, I put a little bit of dry shampoo in my hair and go. No big deal, I'll wash my hair at the end of the day when I get home. That's the point of the dry shampoo, a once in a while thing to make your hair less greasy looking and makes it smell nice.
There are magazines that promote being a "lazy girl". What they mean by that is simply people who are too fucking lazy to dress nicely or do their make up nicely. It's just hacks to make you look good without any effort. Like doing the messy bun or using a tool to make your makeup routine easier. Then there's dry shampoo, the ultimate excuse.
Most people, women, rely on dry shampoo but that's not an excuse to not wash your hair. Yes, that's right, there are ladies out there who have actually stopped washing their hair or at least washing their hair a couple of times a month. That's gross! The thing of it is is, if you don't wash your hair and use dry shampoo all the time your hair folicles are going to be clogged up with layer upon layer of the dry shampoo. That means that the skin and the folicle can't breathe, in turn, your hair falls out. You're meant to use dry shampoo in between your regular hair washings. Not something for everyday! There have been cases where hair has started to fall out and a dermatologist has had to tell them to seriously cut back on dry shampoo usage. Also there have been cases of adverse effects like irritations and scabs. So come on ladies...wash your hair every fucking day or at least every second day and stop being so fucking lazy. It's not ok to be lazy when it comes hygene. We're all taught that in elementary school so why are you suddenly forgetting? Is it because of the fact that it's 2017 and there are smart porducts all over the place and magazines and the internet have come up with "useful hacks"? I mean yes, some hacks are useful but dry shampoo shouldn't be one of them. So please, if you're using dry shampoo every fucking day, cut back and actually wash your hair...twice...in the same shower. Get all that shit off your scalp and your hair will thank you.
That's all I have for now
until next time,
