I want to be Michelle Obama when I grow up.
At the Healthy Kids Fair held at the White House. I admittedly have a serious case of blind hero worship when it comes to the Obamas, but come on! She’s hula-hooping! Also, is that shade of blue not divine?
We’ve discussed werewolves before, and my feeling is that they should grow hair and look like Chewbacca during that time of the month. However, if Shakira grew hair all over her body, she wouldn’t be so dang cute.
I am The World’s Number One Shakira Fan. I learned Spanish for this woman, for heaven’s sake. I even like her geeky robot dancing. And I’m also willing to forgive her free-wheeling interpretation of what a werewolf is.
And please don’t bother with the English version of this song. The Spanish version is much, MUCH better.
I have been trying to grow my hair out for 10 years. It has never gotten past my shoulders. There are lots of reasons for this. I used to dye my hair black, and when I decided to quit, I had to chop it out. I got a Pat Benatar mullet (which was awesome, by the way) on a whim. Mostly I just get bored. I need a life change so instead of taking up a new hobby I get my hair cut. Probably cheaper in the long run.
After a “boy haircut” in November and a few trims, my hair is finally past my chin, and oh boy, is it driving me crazy. I was flipping through a magazine and saw this girl. It was like the heavens opened. I heard a choir sing.

Bangs! Bangs is the correct answer! Bangs will cure my existential ennui and fix everything, right?
If they worked for Audrey…
and Feist…
and Jane Birkin, then they can work for me, right?
And of course, no discussion of bangs would be complete without mentioning the world’s cutest bang-wearer over age 5, Zooey Deschanel.
My fear is that I will end up looking like Bruce Lee (again) and there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
What say you?
This video makes me want to get on a train. Unfortunately, the trains in Alaska don’t really go anywhere.
It has occurred to me that perhaps I like Katy Perry because she looks so much like my #1 Girl Crush, Zooey Deschanel. They both make music, and although I enjoy Ms. Katy’s warblings, Zooey is in a class of her own. Her debut album is so insanely delightful that I don’t have words to tell you how much I love it. I LOVE IT. I have listened to it a million, jillion times and it just gets better. Go buy She and Him, Volume 1, right this second. You’ll thank me.
And then there’s this video. She’s got four decapitations in this video and somehow she manages to make it cute. I love you Zooey.
