Hairstyles Women Hate

I came across this article where the author counts down the worst haircuts of all time for men.

I have to say, she hit the nail on the head.

In my opinion, she did miss out on a very important one:

The Blowout-

Thank you Jersey Shore.

Thank you so much for bringing us men who self tan, wax their chests, and fist pump. Right now I am just going to start at the top because let’s be honest, there is not enough time in the day for me to discuss all that is wrong with Guidos.
The blowout. What is this you ask? The man/fist pumper himself takes a brush and hair sprays the crap out of his head. Once two or three cans of Aqua Net are used, and maybe one can of axe body spray, the person of question points the hairdryer at the hair and brushes upward. Finishing off with a few more cans of hairspray to set the style and there you have it! Your very own blowout!

If I wanted someone who spent more time on their hair than me I would marry Adam Lambert. Oh, that’s right. He’s gay! The rule is, you are only allowed to spend more time on your hair than a woman if you are gay. If you plan on finding a woman with that do then good luck.

Celebs have known for years that great hair can be bought. No, we don’t mean extensions or weird hairpieces, we're talking about the combination of the right haircut and the right styling product that can take your look from so-so to so fine. A bad cut, however, can make women avoid you like H1N1. To help you in your quest to woo the opposite sex, we’ve compiled a list of the top hairstyles women hate so that you’ll know what to avoid on your next trip to the barber, and we’ve also suggested alternatives guaranteed to make females swoon at your feet.

Otherwise known as the “business in the front, party in the back” haircut, the mullet is possibly the most ill-advised hairstyle ever conceived. Short when seen from the front or sides, but long in the back, there’s really nothing right about a mullet.

Morning After Kit?

So you have heard of the morning after pill? What about the morning after kit?
Well it has not really been invented until now. I will explain:

One morning during my senior year of college, a group of us girls were waking up after a night of club hopping and shot taking. One of my good friends stumbles in to explain how she stayed over at a guy’s place for the night and how she was not sure if all precautions were used the night before. This prompted us, in our hungover glory, to assemble a list of items that should be included in a “morning after kit.” This kit is to include everything you would need to ensure all precautions when going home with a gentlemen caller and also items not only recover from a hangover, but also to look and feel fantastic.
Too Faced makeup brand must have gotten the memo about this wonderful idea because they came up with the:

Walk of Shame Set



The Description says:

The Walk of Shame Set by Too Faced is an all-you-need overnight survival kit to plan for that spontaneous dusk-till-dawn rendezvous!

The Walk Of Shame set will get you out the door and walking home without the shame (hot shower and excuses not included)!

Even the Bag has a purpose:

Super Chic Bag: All satin and ruffles, this lingerie-inspired clutch works from last call to wake up call.

Provided the inebriated lady carrying this makeup bag does not drop it in a gutter as she finds her way to the closest bedroom, I would say we have a winner here. Yes, this bag is missing some important items such as the extra pair of panties, plan B pills, and Gatorade but I give them an A for effort.

Walk of Shame Set $38.00

My New Favorite Movie

500 Days of Summer




I have always been a fan of quirky love movies but I hate sappy endings.
You know:
The ones where it’s raining and the guy runs to catch the girl of his dreams at the airport. He arrives right as she is about to board the plane and calls out her name. She turns to see his face and she drops her bags and realizes how much she loves him. He sees her and runs toward her. She runs toward him as well. A sappy love song begins and so does the slow motion. He leaps over a small child, three bags of luggage and a golden retriever. She does not attempt this wild jumping technique because, duh, she is wearing heels and a five hundred dollar dress made of silk and stitched together by angels from fashion heaven. They meet in the middle and embrace. The slow motion ends but Phil Collins keeps on singing. The man apologizes for doing something that he did earlier in the movie but either I don’t care or it was really dumb. Let’s just say his friends paid him to date her and then he fell in love with her. This seems to be a common one. She forgives him, I mean after all he did just jump over a golden retriever for her. Nothing says love like jumping over man’s best friend. Despite the bet and cheesy remarks he has made they embrace and kiss. Now the music gets louder and the camera zooms out.

This movie caught my attention right away with the phrase:
This is a story of boy meets girl. But you should know up front, this is not a love story.

No sappy ending, Zooey Deschanel, and music by Regina Spektor? It might as well have been covered in chocolate. I needed to see this movie. Not to worry, but I will not ruin it for anyone.

Enjoy.


Next Dancing With the Stars



Do not miss the next season's Premier episode of Dancing with The Stars.
The opener should knock your socks off...


My grandmother send this to me in an email. It is clearly photo-shopped but still kinda funny.

Intro


Let's see. I want to start a blog but what would people want my advice on? I am not particularly good at finding my dream job or a perfect partner. I guess that makes me normal, advice from one normal girl to another.
I believe that every part of our lives shapes us. I am not a big fan of fate or destiny but I do believe that when something happens, there is something to take from that experience. In actuality, we learn to not make the same mistake twice. So let’s be honest, who really learns something the easy way anyway? Yes, it would be easier but it is not nearly as fun to look back on the time you didn’t date that guy, buy that dress, or wear that lipstick shade. Whether the excuse was “It was in style.” or “but he was on the football team.” It still makes for a great lesson.
