(NPR)   Girl makes prom dress out of corrugated cardboard. For previous proms, she's worn dresses she made from soda can pull-tabs and empty Doritos packets. And, yes, you should have a seat over there   (npr.org) divider line 194

WhippingBoy: I know it's the cynic in me, but I'm getting tired of people doing trivial things and expecting everyone to act like they've accomplished something significant.

Yes, you're red hair or cardboard dress makes you *such* an individual. You are one wicked free spirit.



That's the mantra of a person who has never even tied "you're" shoes a different way.

dustygrimp: What's with the short hair? F short hair.

Hey! As a short-hair wearing chick, it's convenient, takes two minutes to dry and never clogs the drain. Low maintainence and still very cute. Some chicks pull it off. My older sister has a baby face- she can't wear short hair to save her life.

This chick is way cute, and very talented with these dresses.

FTFA: "The only casualty" from prom night was when the left shoulder curled up - she just ripped it off and that was that. "The skirt got crumpled a lot from sitting in the limo," Maura added.

You just don't get modern media, do you?

Picture a cubic light-year of the hard-vacuum of intergalactic space.

Picture a methed-up space elf chucking bits of Aerogel marked "FILLER" into said bounded void.

The result? What passes for an informed citizenry capable of discourse, like the Athenian Agora with a density of about one hydrogen atom every hundred thousand kilometers.

Frankly, a cute ginger in form-fitting refuse is the least of my worries.

I haven't had hair past my shoulders since high school- about a decade. Hell, it hasn't even been past my chin in at least five years.

PS manly face is all in the eye of the beholder. Strong jawline, yes. But I still enjoy my short hair. If you don't like it that doesn't bother me. There's plenty of long haired maidens out there for you.

To a point. The length of a mini Pringles can is significantly below that point. Probably aces for dwarf-on-dwarf porn, however.

Hey if she is going to prom she can be 18, or a real mature 17.

On the short hair long hair argument I fall in the "hey if it looks good on them go for it" camp. Looks good on her. Had a co worker who had short hair and looked too damn cute with it. When she grew it out many of us were unhappy with it , it just didnt look right on her head. She did cut it and donated it to locks of love

Yeah, I suggest that you take a look at the one she made out of pop tops before you call this "trivial". She basically wove a full dress with pink ribbon and soda can pull tabs. It's a lot less "trivial" tan taking a stand on an anonymous message board.

Please... Even you attached the modifier "still" to "very cute." You may have managed to convince yourself of the cuteness of the short hair; you may even have friends who, in their effort to support your choice to go with the easy 'do, told you it was cute, but even you know it is less cute than long hair as evidenced by your word choice.

And Aidan, when choosing a spouse, looks were not high up my list. I did happen to marry a long haired lass, however.

Neither can my sister. The girl can't even walk in wedges higher than an inch or so. It takes years of twisted ankles and such to build up the strength. Don't feel bad.
