"One important thing: only go to someone who will cut your curly hair when it's dry. If the stylist walks you to the shampoo sink first, walk yourself right back out the door. This is crucial. You'll just have to trust us."

100% THIS. THIS. Your curls sit SO much differently when they are wet, and since I've started…

I went to Parlour on U street for years when I lived there. They all have pretty solid recommendations and do the whole 'cut when dry' thing.

What products are you using? I found the old stuff I used from the grocery store would leave a crazy buildup and my hair would feel gross after a day or two.

Like others-I comb mine with a wide tooth comb in the shower and that's it. But I don't have issues with tangles so I'm lucky.

I said this on another post-but the entire orchestra is via a live feed in another studio (there is no pit) so that might be where the sound issues are coming in. They had sound issues all night it seems.

The entire Oscar orchestra is down the street in another building-not in the actual theater. So when they are 'playing someone off the stage' it is via a live feed. Same goes for the opening number/intros, and some of the best song performances like Rita Ora and Tim McGraw.

Not to mention Mira Sorvino, Adrien Brody, Halle Berry, Jean Dujardin, Jamie Fox, Roberto Benigni...etc etc.

Seriously, I need to find that pattern ASAP

This. I've heard people complain about weekend weddings because of college football schedules, the start of deer hunting season, baseball opening day, and my personal favorite not far enough from the 4th of July. I mean, they were going to go away for the holiday weekend, and now the FOLLOWING weekend with no…

At least it was blessing. I had a friend whose mother got upset at her son in law because he didn't ask her 'permission' to get married-and my friend pointed out that she's not a object. She (and her spouse) are adults who don't need permission to do anything.

And anyone that says complete surprise makes me raise my…

This is what is sitting on my desk at work and I concur that it is awesome.

I wore these Badgley Mischka's in pewter-my mom fought me on them HARD. She wanted me to wear them in ivory. What final convinced her is that I explained I could actually wear these again with a black cocktail dress again or with tons of other more formal outfits-when else am I going to wear ivory shoes? Took 3…

are you my sister? Becuase this was us- naturally curly hair and my mom got us perms because it was fashionable or something. I looked like I had stuck my finger in a light socket.

Miss Paraguay.

Oh this is my favorite thing in beauty pagents every year. So over the top. So much bat shit perfection. So many feathers! (But Canada wins this year for sure)

Miss Turks and Caicos

So what if the sticky stuff is the residue on top of your kitchen hood? I've tried everything. Magic erasers. Hot water. Vinegar/water mixes. Bleach wipes. Bar keepers friend. Nada.

I hear you. I just have to keep telling myself that they aren't referring to me, looking at the bigger picture, and all very much support my right to choose. thanks for reminding me that I can use whatever language I want my own pregnancy and no one else's unless they use it first.

It's a two piece suit.

oh but people (adults and babies) that suffer are extra holy or some jazz. Which is part of gods plan and isn't a mistake. It is only us lowly humans that do not understand.
