This is my son, he and a friend were goofing off with the camera a few weeks ago and I didn't think anything of it other than it's boys being boys.
Last night I see that people are outraged with Rosie O'Donnell for posting a video of her daughter dressed as a soldier. I don't get it? What is the big deal?
I am going to do something dangerous here and ASSUME.
I assume that Rosie is feeling similar to myself, I am against this war, but my boys are into all things military...just like just about every other boy in history who have been exposed to war! I don't like it so all I can do is explain to them what this war is about and let them come to their own conclusions. They are young and don't understand the politics of it, they just think it's "cool". Soldiers are cool and they are our heros. I do agree there, so I will not forbid them to "play soldier". I assume this is exactly why Rosie has soldier stuff at her house too.
Rosie's daughter was doing what millions of little sibs all over the world do, copying their older sibs.
So why the outrage at Rosie being sad over her daughter doing something that she doesn't believe in? They are kids and just doing something they see as "being cool" without understanding the adult issues involved. Is a mother not allowed to think that that is sad?
Let's call a spade a spade here and admit that the only reason that they're pissed off is because they simply don't like Rosie. That's fine, but in my opinion, this OUTRAGE is silly.
What was your worst hairstyle decision ever?
Do I really have to pick just one? I am a child of the 80's you know!
Where do I start?
I think my first bad choice was "The DA" when I was in the third grade. I had super long hair up until then but it got stuck in the back wheel of my bike so I decided to get rid of ALL of my hair. I looked like a 50's crooner!
Then of course there was the popular curly hair just in the back look when I was 14. Remember that? My hair is naturally curly, but I thought a perm would give me more uniform curls...bad idea!! It must have been the girls first week because she mostly permed the crown of my head and left it on too long. When I felt my scalp it felt like velcro, what hair was left was so tightly curled...it was tragic! I cut it super short again.
By '86 my hair was long again & I went into my Punk phase. First came the pink streaks, then I decided to let my friend shave the sides and the back. I would pull it up into a ponytail at school to show off my newly shorn scalp, but I knew my Mom would be pissed so I kept it down at home. Too bad I didn't work the possibilty of wind into my calculations. Oh..she WAS super pissed!!
I guess I can say I never went through the really bad 80's hair phase. Don't you know what I mean??
That family right there probably single-handedly depleted the ozone layer!! LOL!! (I sure hope they don't see this!)
Let's see, what's next....
I guess by the later 80's I was still fighting the curl, but tended to be a little more natural, I'd curl it into big, soft curls. Then came the gotta be straight phase, I still hate whoever came up with that! It would take me 3 hours to straighten out this mop and then as soon as I'd get warm....POOF!!! Sooooo, I decided to go the perm route again, this time straightening rather than curling. Again, another bad idea. The bottom 2" of my hair fell off. Quite frankly I look really bad with straight hair.
After all this and growing out the straight perm, I decided to give it all up and started doing the shake and go, I just let it dry curly and hope for the best. Guess what? Wanna know what my husband said after 10 years of struggling with this mess???? "Hey, I think I like your hair really curly!"
Hmmmmm, could you have clued me in on this info 10 YEARS AGO?????
Do I have room for all the coloring disasters??? There was the eggplant shade, then Lucille Ball orange and the time I thought blondes had more fun......It's a wonder I have a hair left on my head!!!!
