Sometimes.
Not constantly, but often. This could actually be a positive in your eyes, and could well be a positive in general, but I'll leave it to you to decide.
Let us kick it off with Franzy's Piece of Wisdom About Women #1:
Always notice her hair and say it looks great. Whatever it looks like. Lie if necessary. She won't know. And, if she finds out that you don't actually think it looks great, she won't care, she didn't do it for you anyway, you fool. If she's shaved it of, tell her she's got a great head! (Quips about giving great head will achieve the opposite effect). If she's rolling on the floor screaming about how much she hates it, be a little less forthcoming. If she has scissors, be more judicious still.
Ladies, am I full of shit? Or do you like it when a fella tells you, apropos of nothing, that your current style is smashing? Leave a comment please - ladies only for this one (Moify, you are, of course, excepted).

GTH - Ah, River. You tenacious little go-getter, the points are of course yours. This is part of a sculpture from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. It is there to commemorate one of the earthquakes that seriously tore apart the city. It was as close to a picture of Judgement Day as I could get. Are we a little angry now? Sorry about that. I was trying to return to the roots of Guess The Header where I was trying to entice readers to come up with their own connections and meanings that linked the strange sliver of photograph to the stranger sliver of writing beneath it.

And in other news ... Bloggers enjoy blogging who would have thought.
Bloggers only for this one - do you feel happier after you've blogged? Or do you feel more anxious about your connections because you wonder if this blog will be as well-liked as your other one about travelling to Prague or your old boss?
Oh. My. GOD, that video makes me want to take a faceful of valium and hide in the wardrobe... I kept hoping that she'd start smiling, reveal her 'bad hair' to be a wig and 'punk' them all...
ReplyDeleteYou are indeed correct with your first rule. The most important aspect is to NOTICE IT FIRST. If she has to wait a minute or two and then say, "Haven't you noticed I've had my hair done?" then you are way too late and will be f***ed whatever you do or say.
Bloggers are happy - we have our own forum to witter on about whatever the hell we feel like. We can rant, mock, insult and pass judgments on others in the comfort of our spare rooms wearing trakkie daks and crocs. Worth every penny of monthly internet time.
Question doesn't really apply to me.
ReplyDeletea) I don't really have a style, just a greying ponytail.
b) no one ever comments on my hair
apart from mentioning how long it's getting.
c) the last time I had it cut several people thought I "looked different" but couldn't pick why
Kath - I know, she's pretty crazy, eh? She will be okay though ...
ReplyDeleteMy advice doesn't require actually noticing the hair, just saying that it looks great. It must be re-stated that this advice is for dudes only. Sort of like an etiquette lesson for boys on meeting women: 1) Say hello 2) Hair looks great.
River - EXACTLY! Wouldn't you FEEL better if someone actually said 'Your hair looks great!', even if you couldn't understand why?
Nice macrame by the way. Did you knot that yourself?
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Pot hanger.....worn on the head........oh my god, you're a pothead!
So funny hats are the flavour of the month huh?
ReplyDeleteDoes Mele know you have her noggin on your page?
The video is a fake:

GTH: Great new hairdo Franzy, did you style it yourself? Love the colour............
ReplyDeleteHeh.
Shee - thanks Lion. I was saving that little revelation up ...
ReplyDeleteActually the other, other sam spoiled it first. Check the URL if you click on their name.
ReplyDeleteWho is the other, other sam anyway?
Lion,
ReplyDeleteThe Other, OTHER Sam is an Enigma, shrouded in a myth, wrapped in a secret and shoved in a dark corner with his head up his arse - from where he makes jokes that cause him to laugh uncontrollably and others to wonder if he doesn't have some kind of learning disability.
Actually Lion, I greatly respect your noticing of my diabolically hidden spoiler and will definitely buy you an Okonomiyaki and a beer next time I am over your way.
…Oh, also - The Other, OTHER Sam has an unnatural hatred of “Crocs”.
Clue 1.
The Other, OTHER Sam’s name is… Sam.
Cuts both ways too... tell your man you like his hair, even if he's losing it and you'll score brownie points.
ReplyDeleteAs for the blogging thing, when people aren't watching me, I'm watching them.
Just tell me that, if that crocheted thingy in the GTH is Mele's hat, that it doesn't have beer can logos crocheted in it as well?
ReplyDeleteSeparate note - you're tagged Croc boy. See 11/3 post to see what the frig I'm wittering on about
Croc Boy?
ReplyDeletePerhaps you believe that I comment my own blog as an alter ego? No, T.O.o. Sam is an entirely separate, Croc-Hatin' entity...
Challenge accepted.
Soon.
I was reminded of this post today when a friend came back to work this morning after some time off. She had a new hairstyle, cut and coloured and she looked really nice. so i called out to her, Great haircut, you look really nice,(not that she didn't before). I tell you she smiled soooo wide, and it made me feel good too.
