I've done it again:  I've gotten behind on entries because I wait to have a great idea for something to write about.  I need to remember that this blog was started on silly little rants and anecdotal stories about my kids.  So I'm overdue for a 'silly little rant', right?  So here goes...
    This evening, when I got out of the shower and watched my crazy lion's mane gradually frizz to the width of my shoulders, I somewhat randomly started thinking about the biggest lie beauty magazines pitch to women.  I read virtually every publication of the sort on the market at one time or another, and they have all been guilty of perpetuating this urban legend:  If you twist damp hair into a high bun before bed and take it down when you wake up in the morning, you will have fuss-free perfect waves-- no matter what your hair type!  I have tried this, and let me tell you my b.s. meter was beeping away!  What actually happens is this:  since you twist your hair all in one direction, you  get hair that waves nicely in on one side of your head... while the other side looks like you leaned too far out the window of your spinning Kansas farmhouse while keeping watch for the Wicked Witch of the West!  Your hair would actually look better if you tried to style it with a portable electric fan!  Yet they post this 'beauty tip' over and over, usually accompanied by a picture of Gisele sporting sexy, flowing waves that took some guy two hours to loosely curl and tousle until they didn't look too 'done'.
    So, um, all you high dollar magazine editors reading this (ha, ha!) need to take note:  make up a new ridiculous non-styling technique.  This one is all played out!
