I Hate Going To The Salon
After going to salons for the last ten years, spanning two different cultures, I'm beginning to think there is an international agenda directed against people with curly hair. Today, I spent nearly $100 in a decent salon in an attempt to rewrite my own luck, and what do I get; the EXACT same haircut I got THREE times before for less than half the price. Being a victim of the whole credit crunch/downsizing culture, this was meant to be a treat I've denied myself for well over a year.

Once upon a time, Joe Lieberman was interesting—not always correct, in my view, but interesting. He was interesting because he thought for himself. On most issues, most senators line up pretty automatically with their party.Report: Big Cuts Needed at Baghdad Embassy
Washington - The U.S. Embassy in Iraq, the government's largest overseas diplomatic mission, is significantly overstaffed and needs to be downsized to reflect the reduced American role in the country, according to a new State Department report.

If you asked people at random to describe Filippa Hamilton in a word, you’d hear a lot of synonyms for “gorgeous.” What you wouldn’t hear is “fat.”
And yet the 5-foot-10-inch, 120-pound model says that is essentially why she was fired by Ralph Lauren after eight years with the fashion designer.
“They said I couldn’t fit in their clothes anymore,” the size 4 stunner told TODAY’s Ann Curry Wednesday in New York. Hamilton said that Lauren wrote a letter to her agent saying, “We’re terminating your services because you don’t fit into the sample clothes that you need to wear.”
Ralph Lauren denied that she was fired for being too large.
