Presidential Stain of Approval
Well, I just got my hair cut a couple of hours ago. Pretty much just a trim except I decided to get bangs for a change... just to see what they look like. I think I like them. They're long and they hang down to my cheek bones. Maybe I'll try growing my hair out a few inches now but keeping the bangs the way they are. That would be interesting. I've been so fucking experimental with my hair lately. It's completely out of character for me. Amusing though. I'll post pictures when I feel like taking some.
The woman who cut my hair did a good job but she was definitely a bit on the bitchy side. I don't know what the hell her problem was but from the moment I arrived at the salon she acted like she didn't want me to be there. And she kept on bitching to the other girl who was working there. I fucking hate it when employees don't stop bitching about their work while I'm around. It's like jesus, excuse me for disturbing your private little bitchfest and forcing you to do your job. Blegh. At least she was polite when I gave her a good tip though. I almost always tip well (unless I feel like I have been ripped off, for some reason or another) - especially when employees treat me like they don't need to be polite around me. I figure that if I tip them well it might send a reminder that you should be nice to all customers because you never know who is going to give you the most money... or at least put them in a better fucking mood for the next poor bastard who wanders into the place. Of course, more realistically, I'm probably just rewarding bad behavior :P hah.
I read an article today about some Isreli activists trying to pass some sort of legislation that will require models to maintain a BMI of at least 19. I'm not sure what to think about that. One one hand it is definitely a positive thing to encourage models to maintain a healthy lifestyle. But on the other, I don't necessarily think this is a proper way to go about meeting that end. I think it's pretty goddamn unfair to force people out of work if they're too thin. It's really too bad that modeling agencies don't put more effort into promoting models of all different body types. There should be more focus on acceptance, rather than exclusion. I'm sure if they tried to put an upper limit on the legally admitted model BMI, people would be in uproar...
