I'm more curious why French, Spanish and Italian aren't covered by "European."

Brands and trends have cycles. Did they really think that they would be popular forever? Eventually the girls who are 16 now are going to look at the people in their 30s still wearing PINK from their 20s and think, "yeah...no." If fashion didn't change with the times we'd all be wearing JNCOs and empire waist…

Thanks, Brobama!

The comedic, slightly upbeat music doesn't help. It treats the whole thing like a joke. This could be an add for those little $5 key-clapper things.

Kinja is doing a weird doublepost thing.

Ad agencies. Advertising is seasonal and they're often looking for temp employees for their design and production departments. My last round of ad work was for the superbowl. Getting your foot in the door is harder because there's a lot of competition for those jobs, though if they hire you once and like you…

There's nothing wrong with "taking time to work on X" or similar variations. Many of my freelancer friends will work themselves into emotionally withered, coffee-swilling husks at lucrative but temporary corporate jobs for a few months and then take a few months off to work on personal projects. A lot of art gets…

Double, double toil and trouble,
Fire burn and cauldron bubble,
Tongue of rat and severed penis,
Eye of newt and aborted fetus!

Minneapolis. I go to Chicago often on business and New York occasionally and I've actually made appointments there because good stylists here tend to want to move on to bigger and better things in bigger cities. I lost my last stylist to Chicago.

The 3rd place beer at a county fair.

I had one! She was amazing! And then she moved to Chicago and now I have no Deva stylists. CURSES.

They don't just scour the internet. I know a man who used to own a small pop-art print and toy shop. They sold things like Munny, Gama Go and lots of local designers that fit into the ethos (like Erin Currie's dolls). One of the things that drove them eventually out of business was Urban Outfitters sending…

I've elaborated on this in other responses. I don't go in blind. I bring stuff with me. I have ideas. But I don't know how to pick out what do to or what would work with my hair and my face. When I ask "do you have any ideas" what I want is a conversation about what to do. The response "well what do YOU want"…

I never say "do what you want." I bring up examples and ask for ideas. The response to trying to have the conversation is always, "well what do you want?" I want to have a conversation about my hair, not an echo chamber.

Once you become the focus of the public eye, your ability to back away and refuse to articulate your meaning leaves the public to create it for you. She can either correct the message or not, but what she does now is going to be part of what defines how she and the community are viewed. Fair? Maybe not. But it's…

I have done this. I make appointments for consolations. I've brought in PDFs with pictures of things I've seen that I like, things that I think would be interesting. I try to sit down and talk about what I want and what I don't want. When I say I don't "just want shorter hair," I mean that I don't want a stylist…

You know what the correct response to that is? "My work was taken out of context, here's the correct context. I did not intend it to be a put down. Let me clarify my position." Not "Haters are hating me because they're jealous. I'm now going to double down because nothing is my fault."

If the problem is repeatedly that other people are "misinterpreting" what you're saying, then the fault is your method of delivery. Her failure in execution is not the rest of the world's fault. She is the bro who makes a tasteless comment and then when people get mad, replies, "I was joking! What's your problem,…

You hair and my hair should meet for coffee and a bitchfest. I get the same fearful backing away and the same $$$$ boring haircuts, just so I get someone who understands the Medusa curls. My hair grows fast! Don't worry, throw all your crazy ideas at me! Don't give me a bob and we're set. Doooo something with…

ARGHSRGR. I keep testing running stylists and running into that problem. I've got about 3 feet of hair and I don't know what to do with it, and to top it off, it's curly, so it's got its own set of Problems. I sit down with a stylist and I say, "I don't know what I should do. I want it to be different and I don't…
