Head & Shoulders



Okay, I know you can't see it, but this chick has dandruff. I know for a lot of people it is a common occurrence, and I am guilty of it myself. (I have an extensive hair regimen that I perform weekly) However, let's be honest. You know when you have it. You know that scratching makes it worse. If you see it before work in the morning, grease it up, gel it back, do whatever your temporary fix is to deal with it until you go home. Then, WASH IT. Don't let your dilemma exceed 24 hours beyond the first sighting. This young lady on the bus did not even attempt to hide her flakes of dead skin. She wore her hair out, and had the AUDACITY to even put her hands in it and fling her hair over the back of the seat. I almost fell out on the Yale shuttle. Let me put it in perspective for you. Nasty things like that happen in slow motion for me. Sure, you may see it as a simple hair flip, but to me, I could see the individual flakes cascade down her filthy mane and plummet on my iPod. (Maybe it didn't touch my iPod, but hey, it could have.) Consider this your warning.

Good Black Don't Crack....Unless You Hit it REALLY Hard With A Hammer....

Has anyone seen the show "Glam God" With Vivica A. Fox? I mean really, who is she to give style advice let alone host a show about fashion? Granted, I'll give credit where credit is due, because I'm going to spend a LIFETIME trying to get a body like that, but WTF is going on from the neck up? The first pic was in her 50 Cent era, so its kind of understandable why you would want to "Keep Up With The Jones'" (No pun intended, of course) However, as time progressed, her chin has gotten noticeably longer...while her hairline is creeping into non-existence. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm not against having work done, but its important to know when to stop. If you're going to have a job pointing out people's flaws, it's best to first identify your own.

He is Risen?


The caption reads....

"The body of deceased Angel Pantoja Medina stands erect and leans against a wall by his coffin during his own wake in his mother's home in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Monday, Aug. 18, 2008. The last wish of Medina, 24, who was found dead on Aug. 15, 2008 underneath a bridge in the capital, was to be standing at his own wake, and was embalmed for the occasion."

Sigh....DEEP sigh.... Don't we have any meaningful last requests? What happened to "I want my fortune to go to charity..." or "Make sure my children are okay..." No sir, not here. His last request was "Yo, make sure I'm standing at my wake so I can scare the s*** out of people when they walk by." "Oh, make sure I got my fitted and my D&G glasses on" (Because those are the priorities of today's youth). Okay, maybe it wasn't specifically said like that, but you'll never see me proppin' Grandma in the corner.
