I really miss having hair long enough to put in a ponytail. It was an important part of my identity and barely a day goes by that I don't think about it. I still keep finding myself wanting to tell people that I used to have long hair, and that it was well kept and curly and kicked ass, but no-one really cares. It just feels, though, that during that time, I'd constructed a kind of a definitive look that I was completely comfortable with and felt absolutely right. Man, I really miss those days.

What do you mean sam?
I know not.... but what about the short guy thing? And the bearded guy thing?
What if I was a short, fat beardy guy?
*sighs and shakes head sadly*
All I can say is it's a good thing I am endowed with classically perfect good looks and have no need to fear any of you really scary guys.
sticks tongue out and runs away
I agree with you on the short guy thing but I'm probably as guilty as anyone for taking the piss out of NWOD. It's an easy target and pretty pathetic. I'm sure if NWOD didn't make references to it quite a lot and appear to be fairly comfortable with it people would wouldn't post about it so much.
As for beards, well I dunno, where do you stop. It's automatic to make a comment on someones physical appearance when confronted with it on the internet. I guess when there's no genuine malice behind it it's ok right? When it crosses over into bullying then it's not ok. It's a thin line though and it's hard to know where people limits are.
The Wife of Bath never knew where to draw the line either (that's for the literary guys.)
I am laughing at myself for momentarily taking something on tmo seriously not having a go at tmo. Shall I tell you a secret though?
For a moment though, something did bypass my sense of humour. It wasn't the fat thing, it was the comment *lowers voice to a whisper* about the worst things that motherhood bring out in women. I have just said goodbye to my sister who is a saint of a mother and I am very very proud of her. But don't tell Vogan Princess I said this else she will think I don't like her and everyone else will think I am a humourless fat bitch.
And short.
With a beard.
And perhaps a pony tail.

Judging by the state of the mirror in your room, the mirror itself cannot survive beingnlooked into by a boozy-beared person.
Best look of all; pony tail, beard AND bald patch.
Would it look as if your head was upside down, or would the pony tail give a clue as to which way up to stand?

I am not usually of the sort to beg, but please can I see a picture of you with long hair? Pretty please?

Oh god, I'm enjoying that far too much.
It's good, isn't it?
Aaaaaaaanyway...
Anyone got anything else horrendous to say about Gina? Or any further pearls of wisdom re: internet censorship/freedom of speech? If not I'm going to have to move this thread to Conversation.
That's quite an interesting photo, actually. When you walk past those studios and you see the photos of the mingers and the munters and the chinless and the porkbeasts and the brain-damaged children and somehow... somehow... the photographer has got them looking vaguely humanoid and very occasionally has even managed to tease out some latent attractive quality or underlying spark, or discovered some hitherto unseen perspective whereby the sitter looks vaguely pleasant... and you look at the photos and you think, "I know they've used a telephoto, and make-up and filters and about a pound and a half of vaseline on the lens, but, that person is probably quite happy with that photo of themselves..."
And then, then you look at this...
And you think to yourself, "Hmmm, so. The camera does have its limitations and human inventiveness is not boundless."
