I think there might be a few yards between both customs areas so think of it this would be a very long and narrow village called? I like Jeff name for the town.

Ally, LOL!Great ideas!!Wouldn't that be nice, though? :-)Karen Shelton would be the keynote speaker. And then, of course, therewould be Dawn teaching the art of hair-jewelry making, and of coursethe classes that you mention. Sounds like a full agenda. We couldstart by scheduling an outing at an existing retreat, and grow from there.Hmmmm... what say, all? :-)Dave

Hi Ally,Thank you for the compliment :-)I'm still trying to understand how you see her hair as being "stringy,"but not my somewhat-similar hair? Surely it isn't the proportion ofone's face that actually makes hair less "stringy" (you are describingthe hair as being stringy). Perhaps you are suggesting that some faces"help" make hair appear to be not (or less) "stringy?"> Of course, beauty is subjective a large degree.Absolutely true. And these perceptions change over time.> I think Uma Thurman is the most beautiful woman on earth, hands down.Proof of the subjectivity of beauty (not intended as a slight to you orto her).> So it's possible that a lot of others find Alanis lovely, stringy> hair and all. Go figure.I'm sure that many people find her appearance lovely. Count me amongthem :-)Dave

> Maybe I'll pursue a new job in the business of> strengthening> US-Canada relations? :-)** I was thinking instead that you should run a ranch/spa for people who are trying to grow their hair out. It would be like those weight loss and fitness retreats, except it would cater to those who crave long hair in a short-hair world.Instead of five-star chefs, you could have have chemists and cosmetologists mixing customized conditioners. You could teach classes on how to take care of your hair, how to rebuff unsolicited comments, and basically shield guests from the hypercritical world until the most difficult stages of "growing out" were over.Horseback-riding would be a nice touch, too. I was thinking you could build it on the U.S./Canada border.Let me know. I can pack my bags tonight.Ally

As I've asserted before, your hair is awesome. Your face is also more symmetrical and better-proportioned than Alanis's, so it's a good look for you. (Long hair usually can't "balance" any features.)Of course, beauty is subjective a large degree. I think Uma Thurman is the most beautiful woman on earth, hands down. But a lot of people will go as far as to call her homely. So it's possible that a lot of others find Alanis lovely, stringy hair and all.Go figure.Ally

J.F., Thanks!It would be so nice to sit and do this with you for hours. I had no idea about Tina Turner. Amazing!Your analysis of Jennifer Lopez was great. She danced in "In Living Color"? I must have been absent that day:) I think the center part needs to go myself. Why does it not work on so many folks? Anyway, it's funny you mention Hayek with Lopez. Bone-straight hair is definitely all the rage. A little curl is always nice to me anyway. My hair just seems to have a hard time holding it for long:)All the Best,Jade21> Thanks!> Sarah Jessica's hair is currently almost mid-back> again, by the way.> If you've read my columns, you'll know you are> preaching to the choir here. :)> Jennifer has an oval/round face and high forehead.

Perhaps if *I* were not soresolute in my determination to have long hair, I might have given into the pressure to cut that I have received over the years. Which wouldnot have pleased me, since I love long hair. I just don't understandwhy some people feel so compelled to "rain on my parade." People candislike it all you want, they are entitled to their opinion. I justwish they would not "volunteer" their negative opinion UNLESS I askfor their opinion!So, good for her for keeping her hair the way she likes it despitethe media's criticism.> I guess the reason I started this thread is to explore> why long hair suits some people so well, and others> not at all.> Because /I/ listen to others too much, my hair is> forever in "that growing-out stage."

So, she can pretty much wear what she wants, however, either short or long looks best. Her current style is about shoulder length or so and doesn't look bad. However, she is doing at least three things wrong, IMHO. First, the center part doesn't work for her at all, tending to make her face look rounder than it is. Second, she has great natural curl that she virtually never takes advantage of anymore (a crime also being committed by Salma Hayek). The possible third thing she could do is get bangs to offset her high forehead. She could easily conceal then when she wanted and they would blend in when she went curly.Something you may have forgotten about Jennifer is that she was a dancer on "In Living Color".
