Bad Hair Day
9th December 2010
This actually says something very profound. The one who is ‘challenging socially-constructed hair norms’ is, in technical terms, a ‘dork’. Norms exist for a reason. Those who ‘challenge’ them aren’t being bold and independent, they’re being sociopathic.

Feel free to ignore me, unless I’m in a group, in which case I represent an algae bloom in the gene pool’.
